Thrashing of IRS officer: SSP to probe
Amritsar, September 22 Mr Mustafa said today that Mr Sarangal personally met him in his office to lodge a complaint against the DSP. Meanwhile, the SSP said he would complete the inquiry within a week. An emergency meeting of the Indian Revenue Officers Association, held here under the presidentship of Mr J.L. Girdhar, Chief Commissioner, unanimously sought the registration of an FIR against the DSP. Mr R.K. Chaubey, secretary of the association, said if the police failed to book the police officer, the matter would be taken up with the higher authorities Coming down heavily on the health officer who had reported that the DSP was not under the influence of liquor, Mr Sarangal said the test was not scientific since blood was not taken to conduct the medical examination. He alleged that some senior officers had been shielding the DSP by saying that they had not received any complaint while the fact was that he (Mr Sarangal) got the receipt of his complaint on the same day. Police officers were reportedly busy to work out a rapprochement between the IRS officer and the DSP till this evening. Another serious allegation against the DSP is that he was driving a car with a fake number, which was found to be that of Kinetic scooter. Mr Bhupinder Singh, District Transport Officer, said as per official record the number had been allotted to a two-wheeler. He said the department could not take action unless there was a specific complaint regarding this. Bibi Kiranjot Kaur, an executive member of the SGPC, condemned the lathicharge on the students in Ludhiana and the thrashing of the IRS officer.

No transfer on gender bias: Bajwa
Gurdaspur, September 22 While talking to The Tribune today, Mr Bajwa said the Union Ministry for Human Resource Development had asked the state government to provide data regarding the number of girl students and female teachers in government schools. The education authorities were directed to collect the data asked by the union HRD However, some people spread the notion that the data was being collected to post only female teachers to teach girl students due to the recent cases of misbehavior by some male teachers in certain government schools. There is no government policy to post only female teachers to teach girl students in government schools. In addition to that there would be no mass transfer of teachers in the current academic session. The mass transfers would not be made as these would hamper the studies of the students. Directions are also being issued to deputy commissioners against posting the school teachers on election or other duties. Many of the schools, especially in the elementary section, have single or double teachers. If the teachers from these schools are posted on other duties the studies of the students are bound to suffer, he said. Mr Bajwa was in his constituency today to distribute sports kits in the youth clubs. During a function organized here, Mr Bajwa distributed sports kits to 174 youth clubs. The sports kits included the entire material for most of the sports including cricket, hockey, football and weightlifting. The sports kits have been distributed for free among the youth to keep them away for narcotics and drugs, he said.
