Training for field officers at PAU
Ludhiana, June 19 The training aims at providing the field officers with an overall view of Punjab agriculture, its problems and prospects. Addressing the trainees, Dr Gill said wheat and paddy were the major crops grown by farmers as these crops had assured market. The continuous growth of wheat and paddy had made the soil deficient in micro nutrients. PAU scientists were motivating farmers to grow crops like maize. Similarly, Basmati cultivation was encouraged in Gurdaspur and Amritsar districts as these areas were climatically suitable for Basmati cultivation. He added that intensive agriculture had led to increased use of farm machinery like tractors, seed-drills, threshers, combines, tubewells disk harrows, fertilisers and pesticides. “Cotton is the crop that consumes a major part of pesticides,” he said. Dr Gill also described the constraints like poor quality of irrigation water which was saline or sodic in nature, declining water table, degradation of soil health, decline in organic carbon, burning of crop residues, development of resistance in pests and weeds and pollution Other issues to be discussed during the programme include diversification from traditional farming, diseases and their control measures, seed varieties of major crops, principles of soil fertility and management of problematic soil, among other things.

Ultrasound machine sealed at hospital
Machhiwara, June 19 The three-member team comprised Dr Harbinder Singh, SMO Samrala, district
epidemiologist Ajit Chawla and Drug Inspector Sanjeev Kumar. Talking to Ludhiana Tribune, Dr Harbinder Singh said the reason for sealing the machine of R.K. Memorial Hospital was unavailability of an able ultra-sonologist in the hospital. He said it was the only hospital which was checked today. The ultrasound machine of the hospital had been sealed in 2002 also. The in charge of the hospital, Dr Rakesh Kumar, said the machine had not been in working condition. The department's action of sealing a machine that was not in working condition was surprising. He said the case regarding the sealing of the machine in 2002 had been decided in his favour by a court as the court had not objected to his keeping the machine in the hospital. When the team was asked to give comments on the lack of action against unauthorised allopath practitioners in the town, Dr Harbinder could not give a satisfactory reply.
