Police told to probe sale deed ‘executed’ by dead woman
Ludhiana, September 13 While the economic offences wing registered a case of fraud against the accused long ago, it is yet to present a challan in the court, thereby benefiting the accused, who were bailed out. The complainant in the case, Sunil Kapoor, whose mother Sheela Rani was shown to be alive to execute the sale deed, has been running from pillar to post to get justice. Despite years of making rounds of different departments, he has not reached anywhere. The case was taken up by the Vigilance Bureau in 2007 following a Tribune report. It was later transferred to the economic offences wing. A case under Sections 420/467/468/471 and 120-B was registered against the accused. But the police is yet to present a challan. One of the accused, Parkash Rani, was arrested by the police, but was bailed out after the challan was not presented. The direction of the grievances redressal wing has followed after Kapoor complained to the department that despite his following up the case for two years, it had not reached any conclusion. The direction wants the police to look into the allegations and sort out the matter. Sunil's mother, Sheela Rani, died on June 28, 1976. Her death was registered with the Registrar of Birth and Death on July 12 in that year. Shockingly, she was shown to have executed the sale deed of her house on September 12, 1980, thereby transferring the house in the name of Nand Kishore. He had claimed that the woman, Parkash Rani, who was identified as Sheela by a lambardar, Surjan Singh, had committed the fraud. “I have taken my case to every platform virtually, but to no avail. It is a clearcut case of fraud. Everything has a documentary evidence but it is not reaching anywhere,’’ said Sunil.

High drama at rly station
Ludhiana, September 13 A team of Assistant Commissioners from Ludhiana, Jalandhar, Amritsar, Chandigarh and Patiala comprised the raiding party. Fearing the situation of a clash, the raiding party returned empty-handed around 4 in the morning. With the onset of the hosiery season, “peti” mafia also surfaces and tax evasion worth crores takes place every year. "The main motive of conducting the raid yesterday was to detain the consignments which were without bills," said KVS Sidhu, Director, Investigations and Operations, Punjab. Tejbir Sidhu, Assistant commissioner, mobile wing, said according to information, there were around 2500-3000 boxes of hosiery goods worth Rs 4-5 crores lying on the railway station. "No tax was paid on the sales tax barrier but the railways staff did not allow the Excise and Taxation department to conduct a raid, reasoning that the goods lying inside the railway station come under the jurisdiction of the Railways and state department cannot carry out a raid," said Tejbir Sidhu. While on one hand, the Excise and Taxation Department alleges that the goods lying on the station were without VAT number and no tax was paid on them, on the other, the railways authorities claim that all goods lying inside the railway station were booked and also carried ink marks and the booked goods cannot be checked. The department was not allowed by the railways staff to carry out any raid or detain any goods, said Tejbir Sidhu. "Whereas 1000 boxes have already been dispatched this morning, we have requested the GRP and local DSP not to allow more goods to be transported from the railway station," said KVS Sidhu. Senior Divisional Commercial Manger, Railways, Dharmender Kumar said the railway platform is a paid area and they cannot allow anyone to conduct raid on its premises. "If the department has to conduct a raid, they need to take prior permission from the competent authority. They should check the goods at their barriers, which are located outside the station. We are responsible for safely transporting the goods to their destinations once they enter the railway station," he said.

Check all stamp paper transactions: Govt
Ludhiana, September 13 In a direction from the state government, the collectors, sub-registrars and joint sub-registrars of all districts have been asked to counter-check the stamp papers issued by State Bank of India (SBI) and submitted to them by private parties. The orders, a copy of which is with The Tribune, states that in the past also the revenue officials have not been following the instructions completely. The chances of tampering of receipts issued by the SBI in respect of the amounts of stamp duty received by them cannot be ruled out, due to the lapse on the part of officials. The state exchequer had to suffer a huge loss on account of fraud committed by several private parties. Besides asking the officials to be vigilant in future, the government has also asked them to inquire into all stamp papers issued by the SBI in 2008-2009. All districts have been asked to complete the work within two weeks and submit a certificate. The registering parties have also been asked to get a challan authenticated from revenue officials before depositing the amount in banks. The stamp paper scams have been reported at Ludhiana, Bathinda and Hoshiarpur in the recent past.

Stress on exploring jobs for challenged persons
Ludhiana, September 13 While addressing NGOs, representatives of government agencies and the parents of persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities, Dr Prem Kumar cited an example of a Dutch software company wherein the proprietor has employed 90 per cent autistic persons (who are best suited for the job). "Ludhiana is just the right place to create opportunities for thousands of persons born with autism, mental retardation (MR), cerebral palsy (CP) and multiple disabilities, as manufacturing units always have a place for people with low IQ. Moreover, it has been proved that these people are more focused, less distracted and easy on the pocket of the employers," added Dr Kumar. Dr RK Vohra from the National Institute for the Mentally Handicapped (NIHM), Delhi, termed social stigma as the main cause behind the "non-acceptance" in parents who avoid going to doctor for the diagnosis in their children. Radiation emitted by gadgets, fertilisers used in high-yield crops, chemicals used in eatables and most importantly replacement of emotions with material are major factors in addition to genetic factors responsible for the increase in physical and mental disabilities, the doctor observed. "The theory of Leo Kenner that refrigerated mothers give birth to autistic children, which was criticised once by the medical fraternity, is now being widely accepted following further studies," revealed Dr Vohra. Emphasising the fact that children with special needs should be looked upon as a gift and not a problem, Anil Joshi from Parivaar (the national Federation of Parents for persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities) stated that disability is a condition not a disease, which is why it is viewed in social aspect more and less with medical aspect. Children with special needs gave a scintillating bhangra performance on the occasion, accentuating the need for "inclusion not seclusion".

No information about changed syllabus
Doraha, September 13 The students and teachers of the colleges affiliated to Panjab University are in a tizzy, as the information regarding the “changed” syllabi still eludes them, despite the fact that marked changes have been made in some of the papers from this year onwards,” commented one of the teachers, who teaches Punjabi. “With no information regarding the changed syllabi from the university, the teachers are at their wits end as to what should be done in such a situation,” rued one such teacher. Further the sword of Damocles is hanging on their heads, as the September tests on whose basis the students are assessed internally, too, are now at a stones throw. “It requires time to get acquainted with the new syllabus and one has to practically master it in order to teach it with a better hand and a clearer understanding. But till date we are ignorant of the changes that have been brought about in the syllabus from the current academic session. There is no written information regarding the change from the university,” shared another lecturer. While some of the colleges have already begun teaching on the basis of half-baked information extended by publishers, others are eagerly looking towards the university to provide them a copy of the syllabus, which it has been learnt, eludes the university even. “Till the time we get a copy of the changed syllabus, it would be too late to cover the syllabus for the terminal exams and the teachers will have to rush through the entire portion leaving aside the fact whether the students are being able to grasp it or not,” added a frustrated teacher.

Car sales plunge in ‘shraadhs’
Ludhiana, September 13 The dealers, without worrying are busy with fresh bookings, as they feel the sales would be more than expected during “navratras”. Rishi Dada of Dada Motors said it was routine when sales of cars come down to about 40 to 50 per cent during “shraadhs”. "But last year, both “shraadhs” and recession had cast a shadow on the business. The sales had come down drastically. This time, too, there have not been many buyers for cars, as people believe that vehicles or any new things must not be purchased during the period which is not auspicious. But we are hopeful to get good returns during “navratras”, which start from September 19". He said TATA sold about 4,500 vehicles every month in the state out of which 2,000 vehicles were sold in Ludhiana. Harkirat Singh of Gulzar Motors said “shraadhs” were no different from previous period. "It is a continuing trend that people do not buy things, especially, vehicles, during these 15 days. The retail business is down by about 45 per cent. But it hardly matters, as we are getting fresh booking orders. Maruti has floated several lucrative schemes for buyers and the dealers are getting tremendous response. These “navratras” will be far better than last year as we expect very good returns”. Rakesh Goel, an industrialist, said he had to purchase a new Innova, but was waiting for “navratras” to come. “It is not auspicious to make new purchases during these days,” he said.

At the Crossroads
Nothing is constant except change. This maxim has now acquired the status of a cliché. The change of season at this time of the year has prompted me to take stock of things. I am reminded of Robert Browning’s line, “The petty done, the undone vast.” Well, the “undone vast” is now beyond my reach. The petty done is dearer to me as it is my own. Again Touchstone’s words, in Shakespeare’s play “As you like it,” about his wife - “A foolish thing, sir, but my own” - come to the mind.
The change in the attitude of the younger generation is obvious. They do not believe in formalities and detest hypocrisy. They have no liking for rituals. They want the work done at any cost. They are ready to live with a bad conscience rather than with a bad reputation. Their motto is: “Certain success in this world of cut-throat competition.” There is a book about power, published in the UK that tells the power-hungry persons - “Get others to do the work for you, but always take the credit.” In olden times, credit was given to others as a gesture of goodwill. This was something, which was not true but it was good at the same time. Majaz Lucknavi says: “Mujh ko ehsase-farebe-rang-o-boo hota raha, main magar phir bhi farebe-rang-o-boo khata raha”. This means I was conscious of being deceived by others with a false show of sincerity. I still preferred to be deceived like that so as not to make them feel browbeaten. I seldom dislike a change in any sphere of life. Time is the greatest judge whereas the individuals continue to be obsessed with their own views and beliefs. In the long run, change ushers in something that is the need of the time. Mostly the change is circular and not linear. Or it can be spiral in motion. There is another advice in that book - “Preach the need for change, but never reform too much at once.” It advocates: “If you are new to a position of power, make a show of respecting the old way of doing things.” I wonder if Kapil Sibal can “make a show” of respecting the old system of education. He is forthright and wants to bring about a drastic change in the system of education. There is no doubt that improvement cannot be brought about with two minds. Only single-minded devotion to a cause can yield the desired result. Memory cannot be always relied upon for assessing the capability of the seekers of knowledge. There are other yardsticks, more reliable and trust worthy to ascertain the talent of youngsters. Human mind cannot be gauged with shallow plumbing. It has to be probed into thoroughly and meticulously. There are some misgivings about the new system of education. Students are ready to fall in line as they have pliable minds and can respond to the change without any reservation. But the question arises, whether the teachers and the assessing authorities are ready to come out of the shells of their preconceived notions. Would they be able to do justice not only to the performance of the students but also to their own conscience? Human nature also changes with the passage of time. New ideas bring about such a change. Dr S Radhakrishnan was of the view that the human mind is initially reluctant to accept new ideas. But it accepts them when forced to do so. Then the path is smooth for bringing about radical changes in the system. The renewal of ideas is constant like change. Where there is stagnation, the end result is disastrous. WB Yeats is of the view that, when things are changed - “….. changed utterly: A terrible beauty is born.” — NS Tasneem

City Keralites celebrate Onam
Ludhiana, September 13 Celebrations of the first day were marked by intricate floral carpets called Pookalam. More flowers of various colours are added to this pookalam on each passing day. Girls take great delight in designing them in the front courtyards of their house. Special prayers were also said on Atham in the temple. Sharing her happiness, Jyotsna Pillai, a Keralite at Ayyapa Temple, who has been living in the city for more than 30 years, said, "It is a home away from home on a beautiful occasion like Onam. It is a platform for all Malyalees in the city to come together and cherish old memories." The sound of drums and an ornate canopy was mesmerising during the celebrations. People were dressed in the traditional attire, especially the women in kasav sarees and strings of jasmine coated around their hair. J. Manjunath, a private bank employee, said, "It was the replica of celebrations, which are organised in Kerala. A huge gathering like this makes you feel as if you are in your hometown and not in some other state." True to his words, Gopindram is deeply attached to the city and yearns to continue living here forever, but however, felt there had been something missing despite the impressive arrangements. "It is a great feeling, but there are differences too. Back home in Kerala, we organise a huge family reunion and visit our relatives for days, but here we only get a day for celebrations," he said.

Vehicles for agricultural purposes being misused
Mandi Ahmedgarh, September 13 As no driving licence is required for driving these vehicles, the police feels helpless in curbing reckless driving by untrained drivers, including minor children and migrant labourers. The abuse, besides causing threat to life and property of commuters and residents disrupts smooth flow of vehicular traffic when trolleys behind tractors are overloaded with bulky materials, including rice husk and wheat chaff. DSP Malerkotla claimed that he had directed the officials concerned to take preventive measures to check the unauthorised use of tractors for commercial purposes. Persons without valid licence would not be allowed to drive any of the vehicles for commercial purposes and carrying passengers, he added. Investigations by Ludhiana Tribune revealed that a large number of tractors, which were registered for use for agricultural purposes, were being used for commercial purposes and carrying people in this part of Malwa. A majority of these were overloaded with bulky materials, including rice husk and wheat chaff. Besides causing accidents and traffic jams, they cause damage to properties situated along streets and roads of these localities. The lack of traffic sense among untrained drivers of these tractors has caused a number of accidents, besides claiming lives of agricultural labourers working in fields. Residents demand that owners of these vehicles should be booked under Section 283 of the IPC for causing disrupting traffic, instead of challaning them under the Motor Vehicle Act.

Residents object to installation of ATM
Ludhiana, September 13 The area residents feel that the additional counter will create nuisance in the area, besides privacy of customers will be lost. Ashwani Kumar, a resident, told a representation against the installation of the ATM had already been sent to the MD and manager of the main branch of the State Bank of Patiala, Industrial Area, in this regard. He said, “This will create a problem of traffic congestion. The road facing the park is only 30 yards and the problem of traffic increases when the college opens its gate at 1.30 pm and students leave for their homes. The additional ATM means additional traffic on the road. Above all, the privacy of the customer will also be lost.” The residents complained that the main branch of the bank in the Industrial Area had no ATM. “It is surprising that there was no ATM in or outside the main branch. The machine should have been installed there, which has good parking space also. Moreover, the industrial units, who make the transactions in huge numbers will get maximum benefits, as it will be convenient for them to park vehicles easily,” said Onkar Singh, another resident, further adding that people parked their vehicles near the ATM in a haphazard manner causing harassment to commuters. Many students of the college complained that the ATM being at the girls’ college was another reason for the objection by the residents. “Many young boys would stand near the ATM just to gaze around. They do not make any transactions but stand outside the college to look at the girls,” said Sonia (name changed), a student of DD Jain College.

Roads in Dugri cry for repair
If some one is a first-time visitor, he or she should be ready for a bumpy ride all the way to his or her destination and the vehicle might get stuck in one of the crater on the road. "The project concerning the re-carpeting of roads have not been carried out due to the negligent attitude of Municipal Corporation (MC) officials," said Jaspreet Singh, a resident of Dugri. The potholes on roads are serving as water ponds. The recent rains have also added to the woes of the residents. The potholes are serving as perfect breading destination for the deadly mosquitoes. Dupinder Preet Singh, another resident said, "There is always a risk of losing control over vehicle and getting injured. With no streetlight, the road poses more threat, especially during evenings." People are now ruing that why they invested so much money while purchasing land in the area. "The real estate prices in Dugri area are from Rs 25,000 to 30,000 sq yr. Even the roads in the neighbour villages are in a better condition as compared to Dugri. It is high time that the MC officials should wake up from their slumber and start the re-carpeting project," said Neetu Sharma, a resident of Phase-I, Dugri. Tehal Singh, councillor of Ward no 60, said due to rain, the re-carpeting could not be conducted. He assured that the work would resume soon.

Rly pensioners flay Centre, state govts
Ludhiana, September 13 While the centre came under attack for its failure to enhance the fixed monthly medical allowance, the state government was criticised for the rise in prices and hike in power tariff which had hit the pensioners hard. Chairman of the association Sher Singh said the Sixth Central Pay Commission had left to the discretion of the Union government to increase the fixed monthly medical allowance of pensioners from Rs 100 to Rs 1000 in the wake of steep hike in the cost of medicines and medical treatment. Sher Singh said the parity in pension even today stood at 1-1-1986 and no hike in allowances in proportion to the increase in the cost of living had been allowed. "On one hand the pensioners are being given a raw deal by the government, while on the other a majority of government functionaries, including ministers and bureaucrats, are indulging in extravagant and wasteful expenditure." Sher Singh and other speakers at the meeting came down heavily on the state government for its failure to curb the rising prices of essential commodities and hike in power tariff. They called for immediate withdrawal of free electricity supply to the farmers, which was costing the government and other categories of consumers dearly. The railway pensioners also urged the state government to initiate stern action against the hoarders and profiteers to keep the prices of essential items under control. They said, “If required, the government should impose a ban on the export of food items, fruits and vegetables to bring down their prices in the domestic market”.

Ludhiana, September 13
