Gang of spurious milk producers busted
Hoshiarpur, September 30 When the raiding party reached the dairy premises, some milk vendors of Punjab and Himachal Pradesh were taking milk for sale. As many as seven samples of milk, cream and desi ghee had been procured from Ishwar Dass and some vendors Kehar Singh of Heera Nagar, Dulher, Chanan Singh of Haroli, Hari Singh of Mukhowal, Sohan Singh of Corddiwal and Joginder Pal of Binewal. The samples had been sent to Public Analyst, Chandigarh for testing. Dr Gupta said members of the gang used to collect milk from the villages located on the border of Himachal Pradesh and Punjab. After abstracting cream from the milk at the above said dairy, they mixed similar quantity of water and two kg of milk powder in it.

NRI was shot in head: Post-mortem report
Jalandhar, September 30 The police had earlier initiated inquest proceeding without going into details of the mysterious death of Charanjit Singh (44), resident of Atalgarh village in Hoshiarpur. Interestingly, the police did not find any wound or injury marks on the body of the UK-based NRI. The police seized his personal documents, Rs 5,690, 340 pounds and a mobile phone from his pocket. The body was later sent to the Civil Hospital for post-mortem examination. The doctors extricated a bullet from the skull, following which the police registered a case of murder. The police has failed to make any headway in the case even after two days. Charanjit Singh arrived in the country with his wife Tajinder Kaur and a daughter almost a month back and was in the city to attend the marriage party of a Jalandhar-based woman SDM on Sunday, family members revealed. Tajinder Kaur came to know about the death of her husband from on Monday morning. Efforts to contact the SP, City-II, Sarabjit Singh, proved futile. Sources in the police, however, revealed that the police had been working on various theories to nab the assailants.

Teachers’ front demonstrates
Jalandhar, September 30 Gurmail Singh Boparai, District President of DTF, said, “High-level investigation committee should be formed to investigate suicide case of a teacher in the DGSE office. The DGSE has converted teachers of the state into clerks and accountants to perform duties in seminars or to update accounts of mid-day meals only.” Kulwinder Singh Josan, General Secretary of the front, said, “Though 30,000 posts of teachers are already vacant, two thousands teachers are allegedly involved in non-teaching works. Amount spent on Sarva Siksha Abhiyaan should be made public, 11th schedule of 73rd and 74th amendment should be abolished and high scale, higher education allowance and mobile phone allowance as recommended by 5th Pay Commission should be implemented.” Protestors also demanded to stop interference of NGO named ‘Pratham’ in government school.

Diploma engineers to raise demands before CM
Pathankot, September 30 Federation chairman Satnam Singh Dhanoa said here today that a delegates’ session would be held on October 24 at Chandigarh and its demand would be raised before Badal who would preside over it. He alleged that the authorities concerned had been denying them increment in their salaries after completion of 24 and 32 years of services under assured career progression (ACP) scheme. Not only this, the junior engineers were not being promoted to the rank of assistant engineer after completion of eight years of service despite the fact that it was promised to them by Badal in the year 2000. He said junior engineers were given 25 % quota in matter of promotion despite the fact that Badal promised that their quota in promotion would be 30 per cent. In the recommendations of the Fifth Pay panel, a wide gap had been made between their pay scales and those officials who were at same level and in this way the junior engineers had been discriminated against.
