Patiala, September 5 Dean of the Gian Sagar Group of Colleges Dr A.S. Sekhon said the DCI gave the permission after the college removed some shortcomings pointed out by the Council. Dr Sekhon said students of Gian Sagar Dental College and Hospital had excelled in the BDS first year examination conducted by the Baba Farid University of Health Sciences, results of which were declared today. He said the pass percentage of the BDS first year was 98 per cent, the highest in all the privately-managed dental colleges across the state. The college has bagged 12 of the first 50 positions, he added. He said that this was the highest number of top positions in the first 50 bagged by a college. This was matched by the students of Genesis Dental College, Ferozepur. He said that an NRI student of the BDS first year, Sahiba Sandhu, had done the college proud by bagging the fourth position in the university, securing a total of 450 marks.

New garbage dump for
Patiala
Patiala, September 5 Owing to paucity of funds, the MC had earlier been finding it hard to remove the current garbage dump, spread over several acres near the busy Sanauri Adda. This had resulted in mixing of intoxicants with groundwater. The area residents and social organisations had been pressing for moving out the dumpsite from Sanauri Adda. Confirming this, Patiala mayor Ajit Pal Singh Kohli said the new garbage dump would come up on a four-acre area, which is in possession of the MC. The garbage dump would come up soon, away from residential area, he added. He said the proposed area was currently lying in a state of disuse. This will come as a relief to Sanauri Adda residents, as they had been facing grave health hazard. The Punjab Pollution Control Board (PPCB) authorities had also issued notices to the MC in this regard, but to no avail. The civic body had been expressing helplessness, claiming paucity of funds for the purchase of a new piece of land for the purpose. Rules framed by the PPCB allow for garbage to be buried at least four feet under the ground. However, the Sanauri Adda dumping ground was dotted with mounds of garbage. However, senior MC officials said the PPCB norms would be strictly adhered to at the new garbage dump. The Sanauri Adda dump was established around 25 years ago by the local municipal corporation but with the rapid increase in population, the corporation had been on the lookout for a fresh site. Things had come to such a pass that the corporation authorities had started dumping garbage in the adjacent dumping ground, sparking off a fresh controversy. Owing to non-compliance of rules on part of the municipal corporation, toxic material was fast mixing with drinking water, putting residents at the risk of acquiring various diseases. Sources in the MC said even if the garbage dump was shifted to a new location, it would take at least eight years to make the Sanauri Adda area fit for human use. An MC official said a solution to the problem lay in the setting up of solid waste management plants away from the city. This, he added, would help convert garbage into power and fertilizers.

Power Cuts
Rajpura, September 5 The villagers raised slogans against the PSEB for over an hour and demanded implementation of various schemes lying on paper. The schemes that had been passed to provide relief to the rural areas from power cuts had not been implemented due to paucity of funds, alleged villagers. They claimed that in 2001, the government had promised 24 hours of uninterrupted power supply to
Shamdu, Matamgarh, Madanpur, Chalheri and Chamaru villages. The villagers had also submitted requisite fee to the PSEB for the purpose. Sources said while the department had passed the proposal in records, no wires had been bought to provide benefit to the villages. “In spite of these schemes having been passed by the government, none of these has been implemented,” said Rajesh Kumar, a villager. Villagers Mandeep Singh and Balwinder Singh said they had paid for the scheme seven years ago but their village was still reeling under long and unscheduled power cuts. There was hardly any power during day, and children and the elderly were the worst hit due to power shortage, they said. Meanwhile, SDO Charanjit Singh said the capacity of the currently installed transformer was 200 amps, whereas the villages needed 300 amps. “These include domestic and agriculture connections (tube-well connections),” he said. According to the 2001 scheme, the villages were to get a 400-amp transformer. He added that the department had not received wires to install it. “We have apprised the villagers of the situation,” he asserted. |

Suspected polio case reported
Ropar, September 5 The affected child has been identified as three-year-old Shabana. She was unable to walk properly for last few days. Ropar civil surgeon Dr Arjun Singh Gill said that following unconfirmed reports, a team of state surveillance for polio visited the area and talked to the family of the affected child. The team has taken stool sample of the child and has sent it for testing at the central research laboratory, Kasauli. Dr Gill added that the child has a history of fall. "The child had fallen while playing a few days back, which might be the reason for her being unable to walk. Secondly, though the family claims that the child had been vaccinated against polio, we will still have to check the records. The child belongs to a migrant family and there are chances that she might have missed her vaccine," he added. Dengue: A suspected case of dengue was reported at the Ropar civil hospital on Friday.

Bungling in Army purchases Saurabh Malik Tribune News Service
Chandigarh, September 5 The representation to the CBI director forms a part of a petition alleging annual embezzlement of Rs 1,700 crore in the purchases. Ajit Singh Dahiya, president of the Haryana state executive committee of Mahavir Kranti Dal’s anti-corruption and anti-crime wing, has filed the petition against the CBI and 19 army officers. As the matter came up for hearing, Justice A.N. Jindal of the high court ordered: This petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondent number one (director, CBI) to decide the representation dated June 25, 2007, made by the petitioner within a month by passing a speaking order. In the petition filed through advocate Chauhan Satvinder Singh Sisodia, it was alleged that 19 army officers were involved, including eight Brigadiers, 10 Colonels and one Major. Evidence against them has already been submitted to the CBI. It was added that on Dahiya's previous complaint, the CBI had registered an FIR against two army officers, a Lieutenant Colonel and a Colonel, along with seven other contractors on May 31 last year for cheating, forgery and criminal conspiracy under Sections 120-B, 420, 467, 468 and 471 of the Indian Penal Code, along with the provisions of the Prevention of Corruption Act. The petitioner claimed that on June 25, 2007, he submitted a representation to the CBI. He added the embezzlement in the purchases by the Army Ordnance Corps every year was causing great loss to the nation at large. Besides this, erring officers were playing with the lives of the soldiers as they were being provided with inferior quality products. The officers were otherwise also making the purchases at an exorbitant price. In several cases, it was triple the rates of branded items available in the market. The purchases were of inferior quality, and locally made.

No third-degree torture to
Ravinder: HC
Chandigarh, September 5 Taking up Ravinder Singh’s anticipatory bail plea, Justice
A.N. Jindal today made it clear to the CBI that “no third degree method shall be adopted”. Justice Jindal ruled: “Keeping in view the apprehensions of the counsel for the petitioner that in case of surrender he may be subjected to third degree methods, it is directed that if the petitioner chooses to surrenders before the investigating agency, his counsel shall be allowed to remain present in the premises during the interrogation, and no third degree method shall be adopted”. In an apparent move to ensure the detection of any such attempt, Justice Jindal added: “It is also directed that the petitioner shall be got medico-legally examined at the time of surrender and after the interrogation as well”. The Judge also issued notice of motion on the petition. On the asking of the court, the same was accepted by CBI standing counsel Amol Rattan Sidhu. After he sought time for getting instructions, Justice Jindal fixed September 16 as the next date of hearing. With the orders against the use of third degree, and permission for counsel be present, it is believed Ravinder Singh will lose little time to surrender. Even if the CBI secures a remand of up to 10 days, his interrogation will be held during the pendency of his anticipatory bail plea. As the matter is before the High Court at least till September 16, Ravinder Singh, in case of grievance against the investigating agency, will be in a position to knock at the High Court doors simply by moving an application. Earlier in the day, his counsel contended Ravinder Singh had “never given any money to any judge” and the dragging of his name was nothing but an attempt to collect false facts from the accused, who was subjected to mental and physical torture. Pointing an accusing finger at the investigating agencies, he said: “The scope of the case is being expanded to the extent that the judicial system is not free from blemish and a number of high court judges are indulging in property related matters and other illegal acts. “The investigation of the case is, thus, being taken to such an extent as if the Chandigarh Police and the CBI are to prepare a list of such judges, irrespective of the fact that such an exercise is totally illegal and unwarranted”. Ravinder Singh also accused the CBI of threatening his family and relatives. They had been told the hotel run by his family would be sealed in case he did not surrender.

Court timings extended
Chandigarh, September 5 A decision to this effect was taken by Chief Justice Tirath Singh Thakur with a view to cutting down the pendency of cases. It was communicated to the Judges today. Only recently, Chief Justice Thakur had taken up the matter with some of the senior High Court judges. The discussion hovered around the ways and means of reducing the number of cases pending adjudication before the high court. The Chief Justice was of the view that a substantial number of cases could be heard in the additional time gained by extending the court timings by 45 minutes. Chief Justice Thakur and the Judges were also of the view that stress should be laid on the disposal of first appeals against orders (FAOs) relating to motor accident claims. As of now, there are approximately 65,000 such FAOs pending before the high court. In all, almost 2.5 lakh cases are awaiting disposal. Some of the judges were also of the opinion that the second Saturday of every month should be made a working day for three hours, and special benches should be constituted to deal with the matters.

Chandigarh in command

Chandigarh, September 5 Jalandhar had to regret batting first, as their batsmen fell in quick succession. Chandigarh spinners Gaurav Gambhir (3 for 27), Gurinder Singh (3 for 16) and Naresh Gogian (1 for 18) wove a web around the Jalandhar batsmen who had no answer to their guile. Surinder Sharma with 29, Pargat Singh 17 and Satpal 16 were the only Jalandhar batsmen to enter into double figures. In reply, Chandigarh got off to a flying start with openers Sarul Kanwar and skipper Viswas Bhala scripting a partnership of 69 runs. Sarul Kanwar contributed 46 runs, before he was caught at mid-wicket by Rahul Sharma off Varun. Viswas Bhala went on to complete his half-century (51). Thereafter, southpaw Simrat Bawa and wicketkeeper Uday Kaul were involved an unbeaten fourth-wicket stand of 75 runs.

Market chief’s guards beat up 60-yr-old
Chandigarh, September 5 While the vendors along with president of the sabzi mandi welfare association Surinder Gandhi alleged that chairman of the market committee Babla and his security guards beat up Kailashwati, a vegetable vendor at the market, Babla refuted the charges claiming that he was not even present when the incident took place. According to Gandhi, Babla came along with his men at around 5.30 pm and started beating
up the vendor for no reasons. “After rescuing her, the association’s members took unconscious Kailashwati to the
hospital for treatment. We also approached the police but they seem least bothered to register a case against the chairman”, alleged
Gandhi. On the other hand, Babla alleged that it was market vendors, who beat up my security guards when they were trying to lift the
encroachments. He also claimed that he was not present at the spot when the incident
took place. “Actually, there are three-four presidents of different associations, who used to collect money on daily basis from these vendors. I am lifting the encroachments, which seems not to go well with these associations’ leaders”, alleged Babla. Meanwhile, SHO of Sector-26 police station, Raghbir Singh, said the police was verifying
the facts.
