Heated debate over Mayor’s trip to Germany
Chandigarh, June 30 The debate revolved on the worthiness of the visit. It was argued that the report mentioned that the plant would produce a byproduct, fluff, along with pellets. “We were told the machine will produce only pellets,” certain councillors pointed out. Mr P.S. Aujla, Commissioner, clarified that “fluff was the raw material for pellets. It does not make a difference to us what they make till the time it caused pollution. They have assured us on pellet production. In any case it was a fuel which they will carry to their cement plant in Himachal Pradesh.” The matter was taken up by Ms Kamla Sharma of the BJP and Ms Harjinder Kaur of the Akali Dal. The main grievance of the councillors was why their question on the plant was not made an agenda item. This was followed by a question by Dr B.R. Verma, a nominated councillor, to which even Mr Surinder Singh, Mayor, did not have a satisfactory answer. Dr Verma is associated with the project since its inception. He was the chairman of the sanitation committee in 2002 and was in the same capacity now. He said his main grievance was the way in which the trip was planned. “I had said in January that I was not fit to undertake a long tour because of medical reasons. Much before this tour in March, I had told the Mayor that I was now fit. Still, he did not find it fit to communicate to me.” Mr Chandermukhi, a Congress councillor, questioned differences in the terms and conditions in the MoU and the project to be actually carried out. He said the pictures of trip showed no functional plant but only machinery. Similar objections were raised by Ms Amar Kulwant. Mr C.K. Sawhney questioned the trip on the ground that the team had no experts. Mr P.S. Aujla said he had details of the entire project which any councillor could come and see. Mr K.S.Raju said, “We should appreciate the project being undertaken in the city, which will have a big impact on the future waste management of the city.” Ms Shyama Negi, Senior Deputy Mayor, had a heated exchange of words with the Mayor when she spoke on the trip. She stated that she was the area councillor and had been assured time and again that no trip would go without her. She had held a press conference earlier, saying that “I was duped and sent on a trip to Bangalore and behind my back the Mayor went abroad along with his chosen ones.” Mr Surinder Singh said, “I would not have taken you in any case.” Ms Negi then said, “I will only like to know why the trip was a kept a secret.” A cross-section of councillors of all political parties and senior officials said, “The issue was not about propriety of the trip. It was only why certain interested councillors had been left out on a foreign trip.” This was refuted by Ms Negi when a mention was made on the floor of the House. Meanwhile, the House agreed to the inclusion of new areas in the MC limits, which included Darshni Bagh (Mani Majra), Sectors 51, 52, 53, 54, 55 and 56, besides certain parts of Sector 48.

Admn fails to hand over parking lot to MC
Chandigarh, June 30 The parking lot had to be vacated in three months. Rather, the underground parking is being used as a store by the Election Department and the other half is being used as record room by the Building Branch of the Estate Office. Another underground parking for two wheelers in the vicinity of the Estate Office is also lying in disuse. A portion of the parking slot meant for two-wheelers has been used to place a generator set and a rest room, while the other half is also being used as a store. The entry to both the parking has been locked by the officials concerned. Hundreds of visitors come to the Estate Office, housed in the Town Hall Building, and other offices of Excise and Taxation department, Social Welfare Department, Election Department, Pollution Control Committee, Science and Technology, Regional Employment Office, and some
other offices located in the Town Hall Extension Building. The parking lot for official vehicles has seldom any space as private vehicles of the government employees are parked there. The vehicles with the 'parking authorization' issued by the Estate office do not find space in the official parking. A ramp leading to the Town Hall Extension Building is being used to park vehicles of Excise and Taxation Department. The ramp leading to the underground parking is being used for parking of two wheelers. As a result, the visitors park their vehicles along the road leading to the flyover on the bridge market. Enquiries reveal that about 1000 vehicles are parked daily in the paid parking lots in the vicinity of the estate office. Due to shortage of space, two to three vehicles are parked in a row by the private contractors. The Traffic police have put up a 'no parking' board on the road but to no anvil. The situation is equally bad in the paid parking lot in front of the 30 Bay Building.

Tragedy waiting to happen
Chandigarh, June 30 With the monsoon round the corner, the danger posed by these electric death traps has increased manifold. Naked electric wires and poor streetlighting has been causing fatal accidents in and around the City Beautiful over the years, but only piecemeal measures have been taken after the accident occurs. The problem exists throughout the city, on roads, in the posh northern sectors as well as the southern ones. The Tribune lensman clicked the accompanying picture of the open junction box, exposing naked electric wires close to the Sector 29-C market within minutes of leaving on an exploratory drive. In Sector 28, electric poles bearing high tension wires and the supporting wire are still there in the middle of the road, causing difficulty to both cyclists and pedestrians. With the monsoon approaching, the danger posed by open manholes has also increased. But in terms of open manholes, the southern sectors have more open manholes compared to the northern sectors. Open manholes were noticed opposite the market in Sector 20, besides a house in Sector 30 and many others at the turn of roads. Those beside the roads sometimes prove fatal for two-wheeler drivers unable to negotiate turns. Just adjoining the CPWD main office in Sector 7 (close to H.No 1148, Sector 7-B) a big pit has been dug in which several children have fallen and many elders have got their limbs broken.

‘Sick’ truth of Mohali Civil Hospital
Mohali, June 30 Mr JP Tripathi, a resident of Mohali, had to rush his five-year-old son Adarsh to the hospital at about 9.15am yesterday. The child had swallowed a locket which had blocked his throat and he could not breathe properly. The child was in immense pain was crying incessantly. "Before attending to them Dr K.S. Uppal, an ENT specialist, first asked him to get a registration slip made. Then Dr Suri, an anesthesia expert, attended to them and told them to wait for three four hours during which they were not to feed anything to the child. He also told them that the obstruction in the child's throat would be removed," said Mr Bir Devinder Singh, who visited the hospital with the SAS Nagar Civil Surgeon this morning following a complaint by Mr Tripathi. "The child was not given anything to ease his pain or condition. Mr Tripathi waited for over three hours. But when the child's condition became unbearable, he approached Dr Uppal. Once again he was told that the hospital's operation theatre was being disinfected and no operations would take place. He told them to leave without even referring them to any other place," said Mr Bir Devinder Singh. Mr Bir Devinder further related that Mr Tripathi tried to talk to Mr Suri but he was talking over his mobile. "He shouted at Mr Tripathi and told him to get out. The poor father rushed to the Government Medical College and Hospital in Chandigarh and the child was treated in the emergency. Within 15 minutes the child was relieved and the locket was removed from his throat," said Mr Bir Devinder Singh. Mr Tripathi, along with the MLA and the Civil Surgeon, confronted the Civil Hospital doctors this morning. "All they could do was to hang their heads in shame. The hospital's
medical staff is already notorious for referring most of their patients to Chandigarh to keep their burden light but yesterday they crossed all limits of responsibility," said Mr Bir Devinder Singh. The MLA has written to the government regarding the incident and also recommended that an enquiry be held into the entire incident action taken against the erring doctors. The Civil Surgeon would be holding the enquiry and the report would be submitted to the Deputy Commissioner, Mr Tejveer Singh.

Curbing construction near airfields
Chandigarh, June 30 ‘‘In view of the expected notification, we have received instructions from higher authorities to take up the matter with the local administration, asking them to exercise caution while granting permission or issuing no- objection certificates for construction in the vicinity of Air Force stations,’’ Air Officer Commanding, 12 Wing, Air Cmde T.K. Venugopal, told The Tribune. He said the Air Force would be writing to the UT Administration in this regard shortly. The Air Force had also written to the administration last year after the earlier notification had expired, urging it to limit constructions around the Air Force stations due to security reasons. It is not yet known whether the new notification will stick to the earlier 900-metre prohibitive zone or issue revised limits. Consultations in this regard are underway between the Ministry of Defence and Air Headquarters. Construction around sensitive military installations, which also include establishments like ammunition dumps, was prohibited as a security as well as a safety measure. Air Force officers say that there has been noticeable construction activity around the airfield’s periphery after the earlier notification had expired and the Central Government had failed to renew the notification or extend it. The problem of constructions in the airfield’s periphery, most of them illegal and unauthorised, affects several sensitive Air Force stations around the country. Prominent among them are Chandigarh, Ambala, Halwara, Pathankot, Pune, Agra, Hindon, Adampur and Gorakhpur. There are places, including Chandigarh, where civilian constructions touch the perimeter wall. Constructions close to sensitive installations have serious security as well as flight safety implications, Air Force officers said. Constructions, particularly in the runway’s ‘‘funnel’’, that is the approach path of an aircraft, gives rise to bird activity. Brick and concrete structures in the funnel also affect surface pressure causing turbulence and wind shear, which affect smaller aircraft.

Admn bans functions at Sukhna Lake
Chandigarh, June 30 The Deputy Commissioner has been asked to meet concerned groups and decide an alternative for holding such ceremonies and functions. The enforcement agencies have been asked to take strict action against those causing littering and sound pollution in an around the Lake. It has also been decided to install fixed and covered dust bins at the Lake as the swinging and open bins are damaged by dogs at night causing litter and nuisance to early morning walkers.

In order to reduce the inflow of soil in the Lake and provide a good habitat for wildlife in the Sukhna WildLife Sanctuary, soil and moisture conservation measures supplemented with afforestation activities will be continued in the catchment area of the Lake. In place of concrete structure standing on the island in the Lake, a project is being drawn for further improvement of the island which will include a musical fountain also. It has also been decided that the Environment Department will conduct regular tours of the students to the Sukhna Lake Wildlife Sanctuary, Botanical Garden and other reserve forest areas to impart environmental education to students. The Chandigarh Administration had constituted a committee under the chairmanship of the Finance Secretary-cum-Secretary, Environment and Forest, Mr S.K.Sandhu, to advise on the promotion of better habitat for migratory birds and to upgrade the overall ecology of the Sukhna Lake.

‘Doctor’ kidnaps minor girl
Chandigarh, June 30 The police today registered a case of kidnapping under Section 363 of the IPC in the Sector 11 Police Station after the victim's sister lodged a complaint alleging that her 13-year-old-sister was kidnapped by one Sunil Kumar, the self-styled doctor. The matter was reported to the police after victim's family failed to trace them on their own. Ms Somwati, the victim's sister, in her complaint alleged that on Sunday, a man claiming to be a doctor came to their colony and took a house on rent. In his mid-thirties, he told the residents of the colony that he would impart nursing training to colony girls. After the completion of the course he would employ the girls in his clinic that he was going to open in Sector 10 shortly. Falling prey to the allurement seven-eight girls joined the course. He was accompanied by a woman in her twenties, whom he claimed to be his wife. The woman had an 11-month-old girl with her. She further told the police that in the meantime her sister came to meet her from Muzafarnagar. On seeing her, Sunil approached her offering a job for her sister to look after his 11-month-old daughter. He said as both he and his 'wife' were working they could not take care of their daughter. He promised to give Rs 1100 per month to her sister for the service. "I agreed to his offer and sent my sister to him for work. On Wednesday, he asked me that he was going to hospital along with his wife and wanted to take my sister along. Believing him to be a responsible man having a family, I allowed my sister to go with them, but they have not turned up till today" said Somwati unable to control herself. Somwati informed the police that since Thursday Sunil's mobile phone was switched off. He had locked his clinic and some of his belongings are lying in his room. When contacted, the police said efforts were on to nab him.

The incident happened just after midnight last night when constables Om Parkash and Sewa Singh on duty in Phase 3B2 received information that five men were fighting in the market outside City Lodge. The constables reached the spot and found that the men were in an inebriated state and were having a loud argument. "The five had come to hotel in a Skoda car (PB 10BK 0094) and had also earlier misbehaved with a City Lodge waiter," said Mr Rajinder Singh Sohal, SHO Phase I. "The two constables tried to placate them but instead they started hurling abuses at the policemen, threatening them that they would lose their job once their government came to power in the state. Constable Harnek Singh and Lakhbir Singh also reached the spot. Harnek Singh again tried to pacify them but they started manhandling him. They held him from the collars and tore his uniform. They threw him on the ground and started kicking him. When the other policemen tried to save him, they started beating them up too. Harnek was still lying on the ground surrounded by these men when one of them got into the car and started driving towards the constable," said Sohal.
