Cops thrash women, child
Patiala, June 20 Gurmail Kaur (40), Harpreet Kaur (30) and Kawalpreet Kaur (10) were allegedly manhandled this morning by ASI Baljinder Kumar, Ranjit Singh, female constable Rajbir Kaur and two other cops. Gurmail Kaur said the cops forcefully entered her house in the absence of her husband and hit her. They tore her clothes and even pushed her against the wall. Her relative Harpreet Kaur who had come to her house with her daughter were also beaten up and made them vacate the house forcefully, she said. The cops threw all her belongings outside her house and broke open her box. They even took out Rs 20, 000 that were kept in the box, Gurmail added. A dispute over a house is said to be the reason behind the incident. Gurmail said her husband Bhajan Singh had bought the house 10 years ago. He was short of money so he requested Rajbir Kaur, constable at Tripuri police station, for financial help. She agreed to give him Rs 2 lakh. Taking advantage of Bhajan Singh’s illiteracy, Rajbir Kaur mislead him and got the house registered in the name of her husband head constable Ranjeet Singh. The victim then returned the borrowed money within six months. Ranjeet’s family was staying in the house when suddenly they got to know that the house was registered in the cop’s name. They filed a case and the court had given a stay order. Gurmail said police personnel called them to the Tripuri police station and forced them to sign an agreement with Rajbir Kaur and her husband stating that they have agreed to give the possession to the cop after receiving an amount of Rs 1,32,000, whereas nothing was given to them. On the other hand, Ranjeet Singh and Rajbir Kaur had a different story to tell. Rajbir said Bhajan Singh himself got the house registered in their name as he was short of money. They, out of courtesy, let his family stay in their house for so long. Later, when they wanted the possession, Bhajan Singh refused to do so and filed a court case on which status quo was maintained. They said, on April 16, Ranjeet willingly entered into an agreement with the cops and took Rs 1,32,000 and promised to vacate the house on May 5. Later, he requested for further stay and said he would vacate the premises on May 30. Finally, the family vacated the house on June 2 whereas Gurmail Kaur said they were still staying in the house.
Today, they added, when Rajbir went to the house, Gurmail Kaur and her few relatives manhandled her. They tried to tear her uniform. Rajbir said the lock on her room had been broken, but she was unaware what all had been stolen as she did not go to the house again after the incident. Tripuri SHO Karan Sher Singh said proper inquiry would be conducted in the case. He has deployed police personnel outside the house who said they were ordered not to let Gurmail’s family enter the house. Gurmail Kaur, along with other victims, met the SP and submitted a written complaint. No case has been registered so far. |

Ward Nos. 5, 6, 7 and 8 lack development
Candidate
talk
New modern bus stand, along with other local bus stands would be set up at various wards for local residents. The demand of the community centre and park would be fulfilled on the priority. Development work in these wards would be done at a fast pace.
Zirakpur, June 20 Ironically, even after five years there is no proper arrangement of bus service for commuters of the area. One of the residents of Preet Colony in Ward No 5 stated that they have been demanding the officials for proper cleaning of open drains of the area. “Drains overflow during rainy season, breeding dangerous diseases,” says Charanjit Singh, a resident of Preet Colony. “I have brought this matter to department concerned, but all in vein,” he claims. “Due to absence of bus stand, the residents of the Ward Number 6 have to walk long distances to get a bus. I have to frequent to Chandigarh for my routine work. Because of non-availability of local buses, I have to shell out my hard-earned money to hire auto-rickshaw,” says Joginder Singh, a resident of Ward Number 6. The residents of Ward Number 8 have been requesting for parks and a community centre for their area. According to Ashwani, a resident of Bhabat, the park and community centre in the ward will provide a place for entertainment to his children in the evening. “With the coming up of parks our children will get rid off TV and computer games,” he added.

Pbi varsity to set up
hi-tech media centre
Patiala, June 20 According to vice-chancellor Dr Jaspal Singh, the university is all set to raise a monumental media centre on two acres of land which has already been earmarked for the purpose. The centrally air-conditioned media centre is likely to be built at the cost of Rs 3 crore. It will require another over a crore of rupees to install the latest equipment and infrastructure to match it with the big TV channels and radio stations. The centre, Dr Jaspal Singh said, would have all facilities to provide the much-sought-after courses such as animation, gaming, special effects, web-designing, radio and video jockeying, content writing, copy writing, videography, video editing, direction, documentary and ad film making to the students. “This whole exercise is aimed at preparing our media students to grab lucrative jobs as there is acute shortage of professionally-trained and skilled manpower in these areas,” Dr Jaspal Singh added. According to Dr Gurmeet Maan, head of the department of journalism and mass communication, the vice-chancellor has already sanctioned Rs 25 lakh for building a new TV and film studio in the department. The studio will be ready in next two weeks to give hands-on training to the present and the next batch of its students on latest equipment in the new state-of-the-art studios. The studio gadgets and infrastructure comprise three CCD cameras for multi-camera shoots and other TV shows, teleprompter for news anchoring, non-linear editing workstations, lapels, microphones for indoor and outdoor shootings and light metres. The existing hi-end multimedia lab with internet connectivity, Dr Maan said, would enable the students to learn their lessons in new media technology and cyber journalism, while the preview-cum-seminar room had the facility for showcasing their end products on LCD projector-screen. To meet the increased demand and requirements of the contemporary electronic media, the department is starting a new PG diploma in audio-visual production. To augment the placements in teaching field, the department is starting a regular MPhil course in addition to a PG diploma in Punjabi journalism from this year. This will be in addition to the courses already being run by the department including PhD and a two-year masters degree course. |

Bhai Vir Singh’s contribution, he said, in defining and strengthening Sikhism. Punjabi University would make special efforts to reciprocate the contribution of Bhai Vir Singh in every possible manner, Dr Jaspal Singh added.

Future City Mohali
Kharar, June 20 Major roads linking GMADA area with the rest of Punjab include NH 21, NH 22, NH 64, NH 95, state highway (SH) 12 A, Kharar to NH 21 and NH 95 stretch and others. Among these, the Kharar-Landran-Banur-Tepla road is one of the major district roads carrying high percentage of inter-state goods vehicle and passenger vehicles. Passenger vehicles use this route to move between Delhi and Haryana. Eighty per cent of goods vehicles and 69 per cent passenger vehicles that travel on this road are inter-state traffic and use this route as an alternative to national highways due its directness. This route has been found to be an important link between Delhi and Punjab/Haryana. Jurong International, the Singapore-based company that has drafted this extensive proposal, stated that there were several localised congestion spots, including traffic junctions in Chandigarh, SAS Nagar, NH 22 junction at Kharar and other junctions at Landran, Banur and Zirakpur. Two wheelers in the GMADA area constitute 40 per cent of the road traffic. It has been predicted that in the coming years, the total daily person trips on road would be nine million, especially when the rate at which traffic is growing in Punjab is eight per cent per annum. With proposed Zirakpur-SAS Nagar-Kharar-Mullapur corridor, targeting immediate growth for next 15 to 20 years, managing transport system will become the biggest onus of the government. The master plan forecasts that besides new GMADA expressway and Mohali-Phagwara expressway, three national highways need upgradation to expressway standard. These include NH 22 from Zirakpur to NH 1, NH 21 from Zirakpur to eastern edge of Chandigarh and NH 95 from Kharar towards Ludhiana. These NHs will require four traffic lanes. All roads require widening, realignment and upgradation so as to endure the amount of traffic that has been forecasted. |

2 dialysis machines at GMSH-16 out of order
Chandigarh, June 20 For a service, which Ram Prasad (name changed) could have availed in GMSH-16 for just Rs 50, he was forced to shell out Rs 1,200 at a private clinic. His relative said Prasad’s uric acid level had gone up to an alarming level and he was running high temperature as both his kidneys had failed. “Doctors told us to go to a private hospital, even if it meant heavy expenses, if we wanted to save his life,” he said. Doctors at the hospital add that dialysis, to be performed twice a week in cases of both acute and chronic renal failure, costs approximately Rs 3,000 per month in GMSH-16, whereas a private clinic charges about Rs 12,000 for it. Dialysis is performed for patients suffering from Hepatitis and AIDS, besides the kidney problem. Besides GMSH-16, the dialysis service in government sector is available at GMCH-32 and PGI but the queue is long, so PGI mostly referred patients to GMSH-16. In the absence of a machine for such patients, we are forced to send them back, said a doctor. “We just cannot take chances”. He adds, “For every 10 patients visiting us for dialysis, at least one was suffering from Hepatitis or AIDS”. Senior officials at the hospital admitted that the dialysis machines were out of order. “We have already sent a letter to the engineer but have no idea whether it can be repaired or not as the models are redundant,” said a senior official on condition of anonymity. The officials maintained that the option of purchasing new ones to replace the defective ones was also considered but the order had not been placed yet. When contacted, joint medical superintendent, Dr SK Bhandari, who oversees the maintenance of hospital equipment, refused to comment on the issue and said all machines were under annual maintenance contract. |

The police official, however, allegedly pocketed Rs 25,000 as ‘facilitating fee’ from the poultry farm owner. IRB constable Rampal also got Rs 2,000. The lid was blown off the matter when the poultry farm owner reached the police post to ensure that the complaint lodged by the parents of the deceased child is withdrawn.
