Ludhiana, October 5 He held a meeting with municipal corporation officials here today and also directed them to buy more fogging machines.

The officials who attended the meeting included health officers Dr Chawla and Dr Mangla. Talking to The Tribune, municipal commissioner G.S.

Health dept lacks equipment to run tests
Ludhiana, October 5
Consequently, parents of such children are being forced to go to private hospitals, including the CMCH and the DMC, to get their assessments and IQ tests, which are mandatory to procure disability certificates, done. Also, there is no provision of audiometry to test the hearing disability of children at government hospitals in the district. The process takes much longer, thus hampering the process of procuring the certificates, without which such children are deprived of their right to special pension schemes, travel concessions and jobs against special quotas. It also causes inconvenience to special children and their parents who cover long distances and wait for hours for their turn at assessment camps. Due to lack of cooperation from the directorate of health and family welfare, officials dealing with the SSA have been unable to provide disability certificate to those in need. Children are even sent to faraway places like Amritsar and other districts thereby adding to their problem. Saloni Kaur, an official at the office of director general school education, said doctors (psychiatrist) at private hospitals are being paid Rs 1,000 under the SSA per day for the assessment of these children. “We regularly organise camps in the state but are helpless when it comes to giving the disability certificate as the prerogative lies with the health department.” The indifferent attitude of government officials in the directorate of health and family welfare in the region is in stark contrast to the work being done for children with special needs across the world. The head of an NGO rued: “Health officials are not even aware of the latest terminology being used to safeguard the sentiments of the disabled children as very few can relate to the word ‘intellectual disability’.” |
Extended hot weather spells doom for consumers
Kuldip Bhatia
Ludhiana, October 5 Even after imposing two compulsory weekly offs and peak load hour restrictions on industry all over the state, the PSEB is still left with an average daily gap of over 250 lakh units between total availability and demand of power. This has translated into power cuts of six to seven hours in urban areas and erratic supply of electricity to agricultural sector in rural areas of the state. Feeders in the three groups in the city are being subject to a minimum of one-hour power cut in the morning and four to five hours of cut in the afternoon. The prolonged outage disrupts the water supply and upsets daily schedule of residents, besides having adverse impact on trade and industry. Sources in the PSEB headquarters said miscalculation of weather conditions during this particular season had led to deepening of power crisis in the state. As the state had widespread rains during July and August and the temperature had dropped considerably, the top brass at the PSEB expected outset of an early winter, which would have eased the load on power consumption in the urban areas. Moreover, with harvesting operations of paddy crop already on, the demand for power from the farm sector was also expected to drop significantly, thereby making more power available for the urban population. Keeping this in view, the agreements for power purchase from other states were signed only till September 30. But, the weather took yet another turn during mid-September when the day temperature shot up and there was a sudden spurt in the demand for power from major towns and cities. According to sources, as there were no sources from where power could be purchased or obtained under power banking arrangement on such a short notice, the PSEB was left with no other choice but to reimpose drastic cuts and other restrictions on power consumption. “As things stand now, another spell of widespread rains and drop in the day temperature remains the only hope in an otherwise dismal power scenario,” the sources added. |
Ramlila venues sans CCTV, metal detectors
Ludhiana, October 5 SSP R.K. Jaiswal had issued instructions to Ramlila organisers and briefed them about necessary steps to be taken for guarding Ramlila venues. In spite of the orders, not even hand-held metal dictators have been made available to frisk visitors to various venues of the city. Armed commandos deputed at certain venues prefer to sit rather than patrol sensitive areas in the ground. The organisers are also busy putting up billboards, showing scant regard to the security of visitors. Eateries are openly flaunting rules by using residential cooking gas cylinders, instead of commercial ones, blatantly flouting the regulation laid down by the administration. Also, the conduct of volunteers manning parking lots near Ramlila venues has come under question. They reportedly charge Rs 10 per two-wheeler and Rs 20 per car as parking fee inside the venue whereas the rates for parking vehicles are much lower. No rates have been mentioned on the parking slip, which encourages these volunteers to overcharge visitors. “If someone objects to overcharging, they are misbehaved with,” said Rohit Khurana, one such victim of volunteers manning the parking at Daresi Ground. Also, there were complaints of use of vulgar language by circus organisers to attract youth. Daresi Ground Ramlila Committee chairman K.K. Marwaha said: “The DFMD will be installed on Dasehra day on October 9 by the administration. However, one DFMD, which was purchased by us, has already been put in place.” He added that visitors were thronging the venue and the committee had been successfully managing things. |

Where scholars are performers
Ludhiana, October 5 The members of Navkiran Art Group from Patiala are all passionate about theatre and are committed to carrying forward the legacy of Ramlila. They are here these days to enact Ramayan at Bhai Randhir Singh Nagar. Most members, especially girls, have gone against their parents’ wishes to be part of this group. Dr Deepika said her parents had never allowed her to act in Ramlila, as it was not held in high esteem. Though her father had performed in Ramlila, when it came to her, he was hesitant to give her the permission. “Let alone act in one, we were not allowed to even see Ramlila when we were younger. But after meeting everyone from the group, my mother was convinced that I was among educated and good people. Today she feels happy to see my photographs in magazines and newspapers,” she says. All performers would have chosen some lucrative profession and earned lots of money but for the satisfaction of their souls. “Performing on stage gives us immense pleasure as it gives us satisfaction from within, something that would have never happened had we chosen some other profession,” say group members. Theatre comes first to them. Though some of them are not full-time performers and are in different jobs, they are even ready to leave their jobs if not allowed a leave, says Vijendra, who is doing PhD in music from the university. Group director Ashish Kaushal adds that they do not call it Ramlila and prefer calling it “Ramayan”, as it is different from the traditional Ramlila. “It is a theatrical Ramayan and we also interact with the audience in between the scenes,” he adds. Pursuing his doctorate on Ramayan, he keeps experimenting on the presentation of different scenes. While last year he showed the positive aspect of Kekaiyee, this year he was lending a mixed treatment to her character. The group also has the privilege of staging plays in the open-air theatre opened by Naura Richards. Richards was behind the inception of theatre in Punjab and had students like Pritivi Raj Kapoor, Balraj Sahni and Balwant Gargi. “Every year, we perform at the open-air theater at Amreta to celebrate the birth anniversary of Richards and the feeling we get after each performance cannot be put in words,” adds Prince Bhardwaj, another member of the group. The group members are also into social work. They hold street plays on different social issues like drug addiction, dowry and female foeticide. “We are committed to theatre until our last breath. Nothing can stop this passion now,” they add. |

Stray dog menace prevails
Ludhiana, October 5 Large numbers of stray dogs are witnessed on streets making it difficult for kids and elderly to walk. Residents of various localities, including Dugri, Sarabha Nagar, Model Town, Shastri Nagar, Urban Estate, Haibowal and BRS Nagar, complained that these Talking to The Tribune, Model Town resident M.K. Gupta (70) said, “Aged people like me who love to take morning and evening walk, have to think twice before selecting a place. City streets are no safer due to these stray dogs and at this age we cannot run to save ourselves.” Similarly, Sonica, a resident of Sarabha Nagar and a mother, said, “It is difficult for us to allow small children to go alone on streets due to the dog terror. Since kids are fascinated to puppies, one has to be very vigilant as they sometimes just pick up the pups and dogs start following them.” Notably, 334 cases of dog bites were reported in the district in 2006 and 469 last year. Mohinder, who owns a chemist shop, said there were various vaccinations available in the market like Verorab, Rabipur and Vaxirab, which costs Rs 350, Rs 369 and Rs 320, respectively. All these injections are available in packs and have either five or six doses. A team of experts from Hyderabad were called to the city by the municipal corporation in July this year to take stock of the situation and chalk out a programme, but nothing could be initiated to reduce the population of stray dogs that was around 20,000. Talking to The Tribune, municipal commissioner G.S. Ghuman said many NGOs who work for welfare of animals were against killing of stray dogs so the MC would be initiating steps for sterilisation within a week. Meanwhile, joint commissioner B.K. Gupta said in the last meeting of the finance and contract committee it has been decided to sign an MoU with Rahul Sehgal of Ahmedabad who would be taking sterilisation programme of stray dogs. He added that the MoU was likely to be signed soon. |
Media must play positive role: CM
Ludhiana, October 5 He said the media was a lighthouse for every government as it guided them about their shortcomings and also suggested how to overcome them. Urging the media to be constructive and not fall prey to anti-social elements, he said the media should try to come with more positive news. They should not become a medium for those, who try to harm national interests by using them, he added. Preaching the same old lesson of the opposition and ruling government to sit together and chalk out development plans, the CM said, "I know it is tough but not impossible." The ruling-opposition conventions could be held at least for 2-3 hours once a month so that both of them could present their views on a topic, he added. Lashing out at oppositions in both the state and the Centre, Badal said parliament and legislature sessions were always paralysed either by walkouts or disagreement between the ruling and opposition parties. This hampers the working of the government and as a result presiding officers had to adjourn the sessions. He added that the step would help the government and opposition to build a healthy relationship. Advising people to raise voices against the social evils, Badal said every person had a role to play for the development and he should not shun himself from his responsibility. Meanwhile, the CM's media adviser Harcharan Singh Bains refuted the claims that there was any difference of opinion between Punjab finance minister Manpreet Badal and the CM. He said, "The Chief Minister is not trying to snub any of his ministers and there was complete consensus on all issues between various ministers." He added that finance minister Manpreet Badal was wrongly quoted by a section of media, who later corrected it. |

The congested office building of the SDO, Haibowal Kalan, Ludhiana, is crying for a complete whitewash, painting and cleanliness because they are not undertaken since many years.
As revealed, the office deals with more than 60,000 consumers of the rural and urban areas. The office rooms don't have proper ventilation, sitting and standing arrangements for the consumers and field staff. Often, long queues of bill depositors could be seen in intense cold, rain, and peak summer. The depositors and office staff park their vehicles in street, which obstruct passersby.
