Cop exonerated from power theft charges
Ludhiana, October 27 The order was pronounced by the President of the
Consumer Forum, Mr A. S. Narula, while deciding the complaint filed by Jagtar Singh of Police Lines, anti-fraud staff, Ludhiana. The forum ordered the PSEB to refund the amount deposited by the cop along with 9 per cent per annum interest from the date of deposit till refund was made. The consumer had submitted before the forum that he was astonished to
receive a memo from PSEB in February, 2005, raising therein a demand of Rs 17,011 on account of theft of electricity. He further claimed that the demand raised was illegal and be quashed with costs for causing undue harassment to him. On the other hand, it was pleaded by the PSEB that the meter of consumer was removed in December, 2004. When it was checked in the ME Lab on January 14, 2005, it was found that all the seals of meter were tampered. Moreover, it was recording 60 per cent less consumption. So, it was a clear-cut case of theft of energy. The account of
consumer was overhauled as per rules and the demand was raised. But after hearing both the sides and appreciating the evidence on record, the forum found that the officials of the PSEB failed to comply with the mandatory directions issued by the Punjab and Haryana High Court while dealing with such type of cases. “The removed meter was neither packed nor sealed in card board box. This fact is evident from the MCO and ME Lab report itself. Moreover, no notice was given to the consumer regarding the time of testing of meter in lab. So, the demand raised in violations of
mandorty provisions was not sustainable”, observed the forum.

Discipline pvt medical
institutions, doctors tell govt
Ludhiana, October 27 In a statement here today, Dr Hardeep Singh, president, and Dr Vijay Kumar, finance secretary of state unit of the association, remarked that during the tenure of Dr Gujaral, the university had become infamous for mismanagement in accounts, administrative chaos which collectively created a situation for the recent PMET entrance paper leakage scandal. While welcoming the reshuffle at the top level in the BFUHS, they expressed confidence that the new regime would be able to put a stop to irregularities, chaos, arbitrary and scandalous functioning of the university. "Due to the poor administrative control and lax enforcement, a virtual lawlessness is prevailing in the medical institutions in Punjab working under BFUHS where it is free-for-all. and the private dental, medical and nursing colleges are holding the students to ransom. Almost without exception, the medical and allied institutions are refusing to abide by the fee structure decided by the government in blatant violation of laws of the land. The selected candidates have no choice but to follow the dictates of the private colleges for fear of losing their seats." Dr Hardeep Singh further regretted that hundreds of bogus institutions in the field of nursing education had mushroomed in the state that did not have their own buildings and training hospitals in the same campus as required under the norms. Such institutions were functioning, obviously with the active connivance of regulatory bodies without proper infrastructure like trained faculty, laboratory, library and hostel facilities. The PCMSA demanded that the state government should accord top priority to the task of bringing improvement in quality of medical education. A foolproof system to conduct PMET for undergraduate courses, as well as for postgraduate entrance examinations (PGET) should be evolved. Regular rules should be framed for appointments, selections, financial, organizational matters and functioning of the university. At the same time, the PCMSA functionaries stressed, the private medical, dental, nursing and paramedical colleges should be made to implement fee structure fixed by the government and defaulters should be strictly dealt with. The government should also make it mandatory for the private medical and allied institutions to fulfill all norms regarding essential infrastructure as laid down by the respective regulatory bodies.
