Government teachers to step up stir
Ludhiana, August 11 Actually, the government wants to hide the actual number of vacant and required posts of teacher and thus wants to abolish thousands of such vacant posts, he alleged. Posts of subject teacher will also be reduced which will hit the quality of education. The meeting stressed that by appointing teachers under the Sarv Sikhya Abhiyan the government intended to appoint teachers on a contract basis and also undermine the
existence of established regular government schools, which could not be tolerated by the teachers. Mr Sarabha said in the next phase of their agitation, tehsil-level rallies would be held at Jagraon, Raikot, Payal and Ludhiana this month. On September 5, the Teachers’ Day, teachers, throughout the state, would wear black badges and a state-level protest march would be held.

CMCH to have paediatric ICU
Ludhiana, August 11 Stating this here today, the acting Director of the CMCH, Dr John Pramod said the existing ICU with 115 beds, was probably one of the largest in the region. “For quite some time, the need for its expansion was being felt since the ICU has cent per cent occupancy at any given time with a huge waiting list. We plan to establish a separate paediatric ICU, initially with eight beds and add another 18 to the general ICU. “Since the technology in the health sector is growing at a very fast pace, it becomes necessary to upgrade the existing facilities in time. The entire project will be looking at both aspects of expansion and upgradation of the ICU,” said Dr Promod. According him the paediatric ICU. would be a children-friendly ward with equal comfort for parents. It would be centrally monitored, centrally air-conditioned, manned by well-trained paediatricians, anesthetists, nurses and technicians round
the clock. “The paediatric ICU will be equipped with latest state-of-the art facilities, aided by hi-tech
equipments. Elaborating on the role of citizens of Ludhiana, and from the region as a whole in raising funds for the cause, said the acting director said that since 1998, the people had extended their whole hearted support. It was through funds raised from the people through the dedicated efforts of Mr S.N. Maini, chairman of advisory committee, that the hospital had been able to set up a modern trauma centre. Over 100 severely burnt victims of the Khud Mohalla fire here were treated within 90 minutes at the trauma centre.
