Farmers may get Rs 20 as bonus on wheat
Chandigarh, February 15 Informed sources said that the Union Agriculture Minister, Mr Sharad Pawar, had promised to the Punjab Chief Minister, Capt Amarinder Singh, to make a strong recommendation to the Union Council of Ministers to increase the procurement price of wheat. As the Union Government has announced the MSP at Rs 650 per quintal of wheat, there is no possibility of enhancing the MSP at this stage. However, to compensate farmers, they can be given bonus on wheat. In case the Union Government increased the MSP to Rs 670 per quintal this year, next year it will have to increase the MSP further by keeping the current year’s MSP as base. The average increase in the MSP of wheat in the past five years is Rs 10 per quintal per year. “During the past five years’, there was only 1.6 per cent increase each year in the MSP of wheat whereas price of inputs including diesel had gone up about 30 per cent”, said a wheat expert. While increasing the MSP, the Union Government also kept in mind the interests of consumers. Big increase in the MSP of wheat could hit poor
people hard and could create political problems for the Government in the process, he added. Meanwhile, the Union Government has also promised to clear the Halwara International Airport project by March. The proposal regarding the Defence University at Patiala is expected to come up at the next meeting of the Union Council of Ministers. The proposal to waive the security related loan worth Rs 3,772 crore is being examined by the Union Finance Ministry. Punjab was given the loan long back to tackle militancy. Meanwhile, the Punjab Council of Ministers will meet on February 18 to approve the Bills and other financial business to be presented in the Punjab Assembly’s Budget session scheduled to start on February
20.

CM bartering away state’s interests: Sukhbir
Patiala, February 15 He alleged that Capt Amarinder Singh gave undue share of the river waters of Punjab to Rajasthan last year and now he had connived with the Haryana Chief Minister, Mr Bhupinder Singh Hooda, to take more water to Haryana by digging a new canal originating from the Bhakra main line at the cost of farmers in Punjab. Asked about his comments over the disclosure made in a book authored by a former Director, Intelligence Bureau (IB), that one of the Chief Ministers of the country was having links with Pakistan’s ISI, he said that Capt Amarinder Singh, along with a former president of the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC), Mr Paramjit Singh Sarna had met top militants and held meetings with supporters of the Khalistan movement during their recent visit to Pakistan. He said Capt Amarinder Singh had taken a siropa at a function organised by supporters of the Khalistan movement at Dixie gurdwara in Canada. All these things should be probed to find out who was having links with the ISI. Addressing mediapersons, he alleged that Capt Amarinder Singh was allowing a liquor contractor to loot Punjab. Mr Sukhbir Badal, a former Union Minister, alleged that the state government was planning to open recruitment in Punjab to collect money from unemployed youths. He alleged that each Congress MLA would be given 50 posts for selling these to unemployed youths. He added that Capt Amarinder Singh was observing the current year as a “ year of loot”. He alleged that Capt Amarinder Singh had cheated teachers, students, traders and farmers on different pretexts and was making false promises to people to woo them as the next Assembly elections were drawing near. The Akali leader said if his party was voted to power, it would try Mr Bharat Inder Singh Chahal, Media Adviser to the Chief Minister, and Mr Vishnu Sharma, Mayor, Municipal Corporation, Patiala, for forcing Congress worker Gopal Krishan Kashyap to burn himself to death. He added that Mr Chahal would also be booked under the Dowry Act for taking expensive cars from the in-laws of his son, Mr Bikram Inder Singh Chahal.

Congress Bhavan or govt office?
Ludhiana, February 15 While Congress leaders tried to take the credit for helping people to get their applications accepted on the spot, opposition parties like the Bharatiya Janata Party alleged it was “politicisation of government departments”. The BJP questioned the logic of holding a camp on the office premises of the ruling party. The District Food and Supplies Controller, Ms Simarjot Kaur, sought to present a strong defence saying that it was just a coincidence that the camp was held at the Congress office. She told The Tribune that there had been a number of applicants and the department wanted a “central place” which could be easily accessible to the people. The choice of the Congress office was just coincidental, she claimed, as her office happened to be on the other side of the city at Sarabha Nagar. Although district officials tried to play it down, the Congress leaders appeared to be more sanguine about it. The local Congress office issued a press note claiming that the “long pending demand of the people” for preparing ration cards was finally met after food officials accepted the applications at Congress Bhavan only. The press note also mentioned that ration cards would be issued to the applicants on February 24 at Congress Bhavan itself. The Congress leaders said there was nothing wrong in the department holding a camp at their office. “This was no political function but simply an arrangement in the interests of the general public”, said a Congress leader. However, a senior BJP leader and former Deputy Speaker of the Punjab Assembly, Mr Satpal Gosain, alleged, “This is total politicisation of state government offices”. He observed that earlier officials would help the Congress clandestinely, but now they had been doing it openly. He apprehended that in the coming days such “blatant misuse of government machinery” would be more frequent in the state.

Rubinder Gill Tribune News Service
Patiala, February 15 Thumri Samrat Pt Channu Lal Misra brought the sweetness of Benaras, the moment he took the stage, captivating the audience with his voice, appeal and music. Calling the stage his mandir, where he would perform his aradhana, he asked the audience to enjoy the sangam of ‘sur and taal’ that he was going to unfold. His superb combination of ‘sangeet and sahitya’ hooked the connoisseurs and novices alike as he constantly interacted with music lovers. The thunder of clapping at the end of Aditi Mangaldas’ performance had barely died down as Pt Chhannu Lal Misra’s session took off to a roaring start with ‘husn bekar hai je chahnewala na ho’. Starting with a prayer addressed to Goddess Durga, ‘Jai Durge’, he shifted to thumri on raas Leela of Radha and Krishna, ‘Bayakul bahye brij maein bansuriya ab na bajao shyam. Panditji explained the four components that make up a thumri, singing them separately for the novices. He then proceeded to explain and demonstrate the underlying ras in Benaras, Purab and Punjab. Next came a thumri which he pulled out of the family treasure, ‘Rang rangili rasili’, a composition of Panditji’s grandfather. Dadra, ‘Tooreh nainain ke lagi katar’ followed, preceded by couplet on the aspects of ‘nain and nazar’. ‘Nazar unchi ki toh dua ban gayi, nazar nichi ki toh haya ban gayi, nazar tirschi ki toh ada ban gayi, aur nazar phair hi li toh kaza ban gayi.’ The sheer beauty and simplicity of the poetry left little else to be said. Holi of Benaras could not be far behind with ‘Rang daaron gi nand ke lalan pe’. Bowing to audiences demand, Panditji rendered the ghazal ‘Jo baat abhi dil mein hai ek roz zuban tak aeygi’. Earlier, Aditi Mangaldas’ spectacular Anant Yatra held all spellbound with the clang and rhythm of bells. Along with Rohit Lal, Gauri Dipankar and Rashmi Uppal, Aditi was greeted with thunderous applause at end of all episodes. The night of appreciation ended with Pt Chhannu Lal Misra reciting, ‘mein apne chaman se door nahin, jab phool khilega gulshan mein khushbo yahan tak aeyigi.’

Foreign Secretary to visit Wagah soon
Chandigarh, February 15 Mr M.S. Gill, Member of the Rajya Sabha from Punjab, said the issue of providing better facilities at Attari railway station and the Wagah checkpost was raised by him today at a meeting of the Parliament Committee on External
Affairs. He said that besides members of the committee, the Minister of State for External Affairs, Mr E. Ahamed, the Foreign Secretary and other senior officers were present. Another important issue raised by Mr Gill was of a gas pipeline from Turkmenistan to Afghanistan to India via Pakistan. Mr Gill said he had urged the Union Government to consider this proposal. While the pipeline from Iran to India via Pakistan is being opposed by the USA, it is not opposed to a pipeline from Turkmenistan. For the country’s energy security, the Union Government should work on various options, he added. The External Affairs Ministry could play a significant role in this connection. A few days ago a meeting of Pakistan, Afghanistan and Turkmenistan was held on the gas pipeline issue. India also participated in that meeting as an observer. The committee was informed by the officers concerned that India was closely watching developments with regard to this project. Talking to The Tribune on the telephone from Delhi, Mr Gill said he told Mr Ahamed that what had happened to Indian cricket fans at the Wagah border recently had not been liked by anyone. This happened because of the woefully inadequate facilities at the Wagah border for the clearance of those crossing over to Pakistan from India. “I told Mr Ahamed that the Wagah border was a gateway not only to Pakistan but also to Central and Western Asia and even to Europe. There was immediate need to provide facilities similar to those available at the international airports in Mumbai, Kolkata and Delhi,” said Mr Gill. Mr Ahamed had assured him that Mr Saran would visit Attari and Wagah at the earliest. The issue of setting up a visa office of Pakistan in Amritsar was also raised. He said the External Affairs Ministry would discuss this issue with all concerned including the Home Ministry. The External Affairs Ministry was also told to write to the Surface Transport Ministry to build an exclusive six-lane express highway from Delhi to Amritsar and further up to the Wagah border keeping in view the substantial increase in vehicular traffic on the Delhi-Amritsar route. Mr Gill said he told the Minister that the starting of the bus service between Amritsar and Lahore was a welcome development. But as common people travelled in the bus there was need to reduce the fares.

MC against abolishing octroi
Kharar, February 15 The appeal was made to the Punjab Chief Minister, Capt Amarinder Singh, and the Minister for Local Government, Mr Jagjit Singh, at the monthly meeting of the council held here today. The council president, Mr Charanjit Singh, said since octroi was the main source of income, its abolition would hit development works. He said the government would not help traders by abolishing octroi as the financial burden in this regard was being borne by general public, which was not against octroi. Trader community was not paying octroi from its pockets but was passing it on to the consumers. He said if the government really wanted to help the people of Punjab it should waive water and sewerage charges in the state so that every section of society could enjoy the benefit. Moreover, most of the council employees were engaged in octroi collection and if it was abolished these employees would remain free, but the council would still have to pay their salaries. The council cleared a proposal relating to the provision of plots to council employees at cheaper rates. The plots would be allotted at a price of Rs 2,800 per sq yd in the five acre plot owned by the civic body at Mundi Kharar. The employees would be asked to make the payments for the plots in one go after taking loans from banks. This would help the civic body to get the payment in lumpsum. Mr Charanjit Singh said two proposals to improve the supply of water in the town were also cleared at the meeting. A sum of Rs 60 lakh would be spent on installing five new tubewells in the town while another sum of Rs 60 lakhs would be spent to arrange generator sets for 15 tubewells being run at present. Water supply got adversely affected due to power shutdowns and other failures. It was also decided to computerise water and sewerage bills and install a new intercom system in the office.

MC dumps promise to remove waste
Pathankot, February 15 They are now being forced to bear the stench while waiting for buses. The dumped waste is attracting scavengers. The waste is likely to flow into the rivulet in the monsoons. Earlier also the council has been using the spot for dumping solid waste. The people of the area had launched an agitation in this regard. The authorities of the Civil Hospital had also written against the solid waste dumping in their backyard. This forced the council to abandon the dumping site. It had promised to remove the already dumped waste at the spot. They had proposed that the waste would be buried and road constructed on the bundh. However, tonnes of solid waste dumped at the spot has not been removed as yet. Moreover fresh dumping at the site has further aggravated the situation. As per the guidelines laid by the Supreme Court all councils in the state have been directed to identify a place for the scientific management of the solid waste. But the Pathankot council it seems has till date just do the paper work in this regard. It had acquired about 5 acres a few years ago to be used as dumping ground. The land is located in the rivulet bed that cannot be used for solid waste dumping as per the guidelines of the Punjab Pollution Control Board. The authorities of the council stated that the land has been identified for developing the site for solid waste dumping. It has also been approved by the pollution control board. The proposal for acquisition of the land has now been sent to the Deputy Commissioner, Gurdaspur. From the pace at which the work for developing the dumping site is going on, it seems that the people will have to suffer for a longer time.
