Families of Home Guards stage protest
Amritsar, September 26 The dimming fire of hearths has aggravated the misery of families of the jawans, who have been denied salary for the past five months. The protest was led by BJP state vice-president Laxmi Kanta Chawla. Nearly 1,200 jawans were affected by the apathy of the government in releasing their salaries. The Chief Minister, Capt Amarinder Singh, had recently announced increment in salary of the jawans from Rs 90 to Rs 150 daily. Ms Kanta said these promises remained only announcements as no notification was issued. “The plight of these jawans has always been neglected due to their small number. They are treated as temporary employees and have no benefits,” said Ms Kanta. The jawans had played an important role in the fight against militancy in the state, said wives of the jawans.

Sarna, others to appear before Akal Takht today
Amritsar, September 26 High priests will hold a meeting at the Akal Takht secretariat to discuss the matter. The clergy is also likely to discuss the “morcha” launched by a section of the Sant Samaj and Damdami Taksal, demanding rejection of Sikh maryada. Being a non-Sikh, Mr Vemaraju Bhanu Murti, the translator, could not be summoned at Akal Takht, but the President and former Presidents of the DSGMC would present their case before the clergy. Surprisingly, Mr Jaswant Singh Sethi, another former President of the DSGMC, Dr N.S. Neki and certain other influential persons have not been summoned by the clergy. Mr Harinderpal Singh, an SGPC member from New Delhi and close confident of Mr Parkash Singh Badal, President, SAD, while talking to The Tribune claimed that he had introduced Mr Murti to the DSGMC on the recommendation of the late Jathedar Gurcharan Singh Tohra, a former SGPC chief. If this fact is approved, the Jathedar of Akal Takht himself may find himself in the tight spot as he had honoured Jathedar Tohra with “Panth Rattan” posthumously. Earlier, the case of Mr Murthi was highlighted by a Sikh organisation by conducting a sting operation. Excerpts from video clips show him (Murthi) confessing: “I can’t understand/read Punjabi…It was grace of the almighty who made me instrument/medium to accomplish this gigantic task of translating Guru Granth Sahib in different languages.” The translation/transliteration done by Mr Murti had glaring discrepancies. However, Mr Sarna has claimed that he had withdrawn the work from Mr Murti when he learnt that he was committing fraud in the name of translation. He said the DSGMC had already constituted an inquiry committee to take action against those who were involved in assigning translation task to him.

Canal water shortage leads to exodus of farmers to Haryana
Bathinda, September 26 According to sources, hundreds of farmers hailing from about 18 villages of the Talwandi Sabo block have either migrated to Haryana or have opted for contract farming there. The sources said located at the tail end, these villages didn’t receive proper canal water supply and their ground water was unfit for irrigation. On the other hand, Bhakra’s water lured them to Haryana. At least 12 farmers from Fattabalu village have purchased land in Rori in Haryana. Sarpanch Dalip Singh, who too has bought 20 acres of land, said the ground water in areas near the canal there was good and agricultural produce was almost double as compared to Punjab. While Jaila Singh and Jagit Singh have also purchased land, Bhajan Singh has got it on
contract. They sell their agricultural produce in Kallianwali market. Farmers from Raiya, Golewala, Kalalwala, and Natheha villages have also taken the same route. More than 10 farmers from Gayana have also shifted base to Haryana. Bela Singh has bought 25 acres of land at Takhtmal village where he has sown paddy. Earlier, he used to sow cotton in Punjab due to water crisis. Panchayat member Jarnail Singh said canal water hardly reached the tail of Sandoha branch and farmers were crying for it for the past 10 years. Jugraj Singh and Babu Singh have got land on contract at Desu village, while Sadhu Singh and Harnek Singh have chosen Takhtmal village. Meanwhile, about 20 families from Kanakwal village have permanently shifted to Sirsa. The state government had acquired their land for refinery, following which they bought land
in Khuia and Malkana villages. They now have ration and voter I-cards of Haryana. Lakha Singh and Darshan Singh said: “We have land at cheaper rates in Haryana and also there is no water problem otherwise who wants to leave his native village.” Chhota Singh and Bakhtaur Singh from Ramsara village have
purchased land at Desu village. They said they had pleaded with the state government for canal but their requests drew a blank forcing them to migrate.

Private housing in Punjab set for major boost
Mohali, September 26 Stating that the most encouraging trend in private housing has been the shift of focus from big cities to small townships, Mr A.S. Chattwal, Chief Administrator, PUDA, today pointed out that even large sized projects, -beyond 50 acres- were being undertaken by colonisers in tehsil and block level towns of Bathinda, Nawanshahr, Phagwara, Rajpura and Khanna etc. Other than PUDA, the empowered committee of the Punjab Government is considering giving the go-ahead to eight mega housing projects and another three housing-cum-multiplex projects in the state. While majority of these projects have been proposed within the sectoral grid of Mohali, some others have been proposed for Amritsar, Ludhiana, Jalandhar and Patiala. Other than Mohali, the Zirakpur- Patiala road has become the next choice for mega housing developers. Infrastructure developers like Vipul have proposed to set up real estate projects in Ludhiana, Amritsar and Zirakpur on over 375 acres of land at the cost of Rs 645 crore. Similarly, IREO Funds Limited has offered to develop a Rs 450 crore residential project on 300 acres on the Zirakpur-Rajpura road and the Mohali-Zirakpur periphery. ATS Infrastructure Limited has offered to spend worth Rs 781 crore and develop 350 acres in Dera Bassi for residential purposes. Renaissance Buildcon Company limited will develop 600 acres on the Zirakpur Patiala Highway at the cost of Rs 643 crore for a residential township. Unitech Limited proposes to develop a residential colony in 200 acres in Sector 107 of the Mohali sectoral grid at a cost of Rs 428 crore while Country Colonizers have proposed to develop a residential colony in 110 acres in Mohali at a cost of Rs 105 Crore. Infinity Promoters and Developers Private Limited intend to spend Rs 316 crore and develop an integrated township on 100 acres within Mohali’s sectoral grid. The district town planners and senior town planners have also given clearances to smaller projects across the state. Host of less than 10 acres colonies authorised by theses district-level officers have mushroomed around large cities. “We do not have the exact number of such projects that have been okayed at this level but the choice with someone looking for a house has never been this good,” said Mr Chattwal. “Also noticeable is the trend that these builders are offering both apartments and plots to the buyers. Preference of the buyer shifting from independent houses to apartments is encouraging. Flats are cheaper and low maintenance cost houses. With limited land mass in Punjab, any vertical development is welcome,” added Mr Chattwal.

Admn order on kara, kirpan draws SGPC’s ire
Ropar, September 26 The order said these things were strictly prohibited in the school. If any student was found wearing them, these would be impounded and the bearer would be fined Rs 500 besides disciplinary action. Besides the kirpan and kara, other things which were banned, included mobile phone, gold and silver jewellery, cash, CDs and cassettes and also in driving to school on two-wheelers. The SGPC has decided to launch an agitation against the decision of the school authorities. An SGPC member, Mr Gurinder Singh Gogi, said if the administration would not withdraw the circular issued by the school authorities, then the SGPC would launch a statewide agitation against it, he added. It was unfortunate the students of Punjab had to face such kind of discriminations. The decision of the school authorities met with widespread resentment among parents of the Sikh students. On conditions of the anonymity they said that kara and kirpan were compulsory for a baptised Sikh. It was unfortunate the school run by the administration was hurting sentiments of Sikhs. They also decided to take up matter with the higher authorities. When contacted the Principal of school, Ms Gurpreet Mathur, said that order was passed due to the safety of the students and not to hurt sentiments of Sikh community. As even in small dispute, the students could hurt each other with a kara and kirpan. She said tomorrow she would take necessary amendments in the order so that baptised Sikh students could carry things as per their religious beliefs.

They were rallying against the proposed visit of RSS chief, Mr K.C. Sudershan, in Sain Dass School here on October 2. While a woman activist of the Punjab Christian Movement allegedly received a head injury, two local leaders of the RSS, Mr Deepak Telu and Mr Sushil Sondhi, too got severe lashes on their faces and back. Both were admitted in the ICU units of Satyam Hospital.

Mr Vijay Sampla, state general secretary, BJP, alleged that the police remained a mute spectator when two of their morcha leaders were being thrashed with canes and bricks. He further alleged that both RSS youths were brutally hit and then dragged from Namdev Chowk to the DC office by members of the Christian Movement, and policemen sitting in a Gypsy did not come to their rescue. On a complaint of RSS activists, the SSP, Mr Ishwar Singh, ordered the registering of a case under Section 307 against five persons including Hamid Masih, Surinder Gill, Anil Kumar, Fredy Joseph and Lal Chand, all members of the Punjab Christian Movement. Two policemen including an ASI were also reportedly suspended for not being able to handle the situation. However, no one from the RSS group has been booked for hitting a Christian woman activist.

Farmers protest in support of demands
Chandigarh, September 26 Addressing a rally of farmers at Parade Ground, the leaders announced that the agitation against the government would be intensified after the harvesting season got over to force the government to accept their demands. The leaders also supported a nationwide call for a road and rail blockade on September 29. President of the Bhartiya Kisan Union Peshora Singh Sidupur, general secretary of the Jamoori Kisan Sabha Kulwant Singh, senior leader of the Punjab Kisan Sabha Bhupinder Sambar, and leader of the Kisan Khetibadi Vikas Front Maghar Singh addressed the rally. The leaders pointed out that during his recent two-day visit to Punjab and Chandigarh, the Prime Minister met different associations but failed to meet farmers. They said the prices of diesel were increasing regularly, but the hike in the minimum support price of rice was just Rs 10. The hike was not enough for farmers to meet their basic expenditure incurred during the sowing of the crop, they contended. Describing the provision of free power as a partial fulfillment of their demands, the leaders said the relief was of no significance to those who used diesel generators. Instead, the government should subsidise diesel for farmers and provide electricity connections on priority. Later, the farmers marched towards Punjab Raj Bhavan, but were stopped near the Sector 7-8 roundabout.
