Nangal MLA alleges misuse of MC funds
Ropar, April 5 Nangal MLA Rana K.P. Singh alleged this during a press conference convened here today. He alleged that former MLA Madan Mohan Mittal had misused MC funds by pressurising MC administrator SDM, Anandpur Sahib. “Using pressure tactics, Mittal had misused Rs 20 lakh funds and disbursed the money to so-called social and religious NGOs, most of whom are Mittal’s partymen. In a way, Mittal has tried to secure his vote bank at the expense of public money,” Rana alleged. He added that under the provision of Section 52 (2L) of the Punjab Municipal Council Act, MC funds were to be used only for people of the area concerned and where the development work was to be done. “The section has been misused. Not only Mittal, but also the executive officer of Nangal MC is involved in this cheating,” he alleged. Rana claimed that he had got this information under the Right to Information Act, which proves that Mittal illegally got the money from the government and distributed it among NGOs who have not done any substantial work in their areas. He added that being an ex-officio member of the MC he would move the court, challenging this misuse. Meanwhile, Mittal claimed that he had not misused any money nor made any unauthorised payments. He added that Rana was making such allegations out of political rivalry. “Local bodies minister Manoranjan Kalia had marked this Rs 20 lakh fund himself,” Mittal added. |

Paramedical project needs a checkup
Chandigarh, April 5 The lecture theatres in the NIPS cannot be used because the supposed up gradation -LCD projector and some other facilities - are yet to be provided. Not only this, the library has is inadequately stocked and department faculties use it as an auditorium. Paramedical students are yet to make avail of the independent institute opened for them in 2006. Initially, the institute was supposed to have five departments, medical laboratory sciences, radiological technology and imaging, radiotherapy technology, audiology and speech therapy and operation theatre assistance, but due to lack of infrastructure, the institute is yet to deliver to its full potential. Students here are also facing a problem with lecture theatres, as there is only one lecture theatre in each department. On the condition of anonymity, one senior student of Medical Lab Technology told The Tribune that most of the time lectures were postponed due to a seminar in the theatre. Suspension of scheduled lecture was creating difficulties for students, as there was only one class for each subject, in a week. Dr. A Rajwansh, in charge of the institute, said, “The budget needs to be sanctioned from the expenditure finance committee and it will take time. But we are doing our efforts and very soon theory classes of all departments would be shifted there”. He added that they had also discussed the recruitment of staff in the last meeting. “Actually the aim of this institute is to curb the unauthorised paramedical institute and produce well qualified and trained paramedical staff. The concept of independent existence of paramedical education was the main motto”, added a senior PGI doctor. |
