Residents turn to pvt guards for weddings Mohit Khanna Tribune News Service
Ludhiana, November 20 "I was concerned after learning about the sudden rise in snatching incidents during wedding functions so I decided to take the help of a private security agency to escort the 'baraat' at my son’s wedding. They were told to keep an eye on beggars. After all prevention is better then cure," said Sham Singh Hairke, a city resident. Another resident, Mangat Ram Mangla, said he too had hired security personnel from an agency to be present at the wedding venue. ‘‘They remained there throughout the day and the function took place without any untoward incident”, he said. Recently a snatching incident took place inside a gurudwara where some miscreants stole cash and gold jewellery worth Rs 1.2 lakh from the handbag of Napinder Kaur, wife of state labour commissioner Raminder Singh, during a wedding ceremony. Interestingly, Surinder Kaur, wife of Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal, was attending the wedding and the police was on its toes to provide security during the entire function. Following the incident the Sarabha Nagar police sprung into action and, after closely scrutinising the video of the wedding, released a suspect’s photograph. According to the police, an organised gang of snatchers, consisting of nomads, has been targeting senior citizens. The gang members first conduct a recce of the place and then strike by taking on an elderly person in an isolated area of a street where no one would notice them. In one such incident members of a gang attacked a woman in her seventies when she was leaving after attending a wedding function in the Model Town area. According to a witness the snatchers were led by a man. The female gang members first confused the elderly woman by demanding money from her and, in the meantime, the gang leader snatched her earrings.

Residents fear illegal structures would return
Ludhiana, November 20 Some shopkeepers said they were just waiting for November 25, the date of hearing in the court, and the encroachments would return once more. And this assurance has been given by low-rung MC officials, no less. Shop owners whose structures were demolished have already started planning to rebuild them. Deepak Kumar, who has a shop along the Ferozepur road, claimed that he had been assured by the MC demolition squad that he could rebuild the structure after November 25. According to sources, MC officials are planning to make a service lane and streets where the area had been cleared, but these could easily be occupied again. Ramesh Kumar Juneja, whose illegal structure was removed at Janakpuri, said though the squad had damaged his shop, but an employee had told him to build a makeshift arrangement so that it could be easily removed when the MC next conducts the drive in the area. MC Commissioner AK Sinha was not available for comments, but sources close to him said he had made it clear to his staff that the drive would continue even after November 25. Parmeet Singh, who owns a shop at Chaura Bazar, mocked: “We encroach on the street and display hosiery material there. A person who puts up a stall along the road on Chaura Bazar earns more than the one who owns a shop there.” |

As most of his salary was spent on paying his rent he was meeting household expenses with the meager amount that remained”, he added. According to the relative, Mahesh did not return home after work since last evening and kept his mobile phone switched off. The police informed his relatives about the incident in the morning. In the meantime, the body was sent to the Civil Hospital for a postmortem examination. |

Industry finds women workers indispensable
Ludhiana, November 20 Most of the female workers, numbering perhaps in the thousands, have been hired by the garment and textile industry for packing and packaging products. Abhishek Jain, who deals in hosiery goods in Sunder Nagar, said a majority of women workers came from villages in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. He added their husbands worked in other factories and the wives equally shared family responsibilities by becoming self-reliant. "They are good workers, more dependable than their male counterparts. Male workers refuse to listen to you at times but there is no such problem with the women. They work in various units with dedication and commitment", said Goel. Vardhman group of industries chairman SP Oswal had recently stated his company encouraged hiring of female workers, especially young girls from rural backgrounds. Today hundreds of such girls are working at the firm’s several plants. Vardhman Spinning & Yarn CEO VK Goel told The Tribune his company encouraged young girls to work in its various factories. A hostel was being constructed for working women for the firm’s new textile unit near here, he added. "The new textile unit will be dominated by women workers who are willing to come from villages located in Ferozpur, Faridkot, Bathinda and Patiala districts", said Goel. Hitesh Gambhir, owner of a garment unit at Focal Point, said female workers were mostly hired for packing and packaging. "Besides, they can tuck buttons, cut threads, pack materials in bags and do similar tasks that most of the men avoided. Women are also more patient and don’t waste time on making unnecessary calls on mobile phones. Today they are earning as much as their male counterparts in industrial units depending on the nature of work", said Gambhir. “Many migrant labourers had brought their families to the city to raise their incomes”, he added. Anju Rani, a worker at a factory in the Industrial Area (Extension A) stated she was a divorcee with two small children. "I do get some financial support from my father but he’s too old to bear the burden alone. I work in a factory and am being paid Rs 120 per day as wages. Working for 20 days means getting around Rs 2,500 a month. At least I’m able to send both my children to a government school as I’m earning. Had I stayed back in my native village I would not have been able to earn any money all. Villagers are still very conservative and don’t allow women to work", she said.

325 illegal structures removed
Ludhiana, November 20 At Samrala Chowk, timber material and haphazardly parked vehicles were removed from the road. Later, MC bulldozers removed temporary and permanent structures from the road leading to Kadwai Nagar. However, the demolition squad spared Kadwai Nagar and its adjoining areas, said to be the strongholds of state deputy speaker Satpal Gosain and senior deputy mayor Parveen Bansal. In the afternoon, the demolition team divided itself into two groups — one heading towards the Jamalpur road and the other towards Fountain Chowk. At Jamalpur, the team picked up from where it had left yesterday and carried out anti-encroachment drive till Veer Palace. At Fountain Chowk, the team removed temporary structures put up by
eating joints. An official said temporary encroachment had become permanent over the passage of time and it was necessary to discourage encroachers. Some MC officials actively took part in the drive and helped lower-rung staff in removing encroachment. The traffic police also assisted the tehbazaari team in impounding vehicles parked haphazardly at a number of places. A majority of vehicles were released after a warning. On the road from Master Tara Singh Memorial College, Old Sabzi Mandi, to Daresi Ground, shopkeepers were seen removing their extended structures. A shopkeeper said it was better to remove structures before MC bulldozers came in and caused damage to their buildings.

Govt urged to lower toll on NH
Ludhiana, November 20 A member of the Chamber of Industrial and Commercial Undertaking
(CICU) said Punjab had no natural resources of its own and was a border state, resulting in extra freight cost, CST, entry tax for the industry. As such, the additional burden of toll tax had hit the industry and motorists hard. The helfty toll tax had increased the transportation cost, which was resulting in hike in prices of essential commodities, added the members. Also, traffic jams, road rage and accidents were commonplace due to the poor state of the national highway in the state. They said the NHAI should publish details of toll tax collections and availability of funds for cess on petrol and diesel and expenditure being incurred on the maintenance and development of the national highway in the state. The state government had become a mute spectator to the fleecing of motorists and industry, they alleged. “The state government must take strong notice of this and take up the matter with the Centre for effecting immediate reduction in toll tax rates. The state government must intervene or else people would be forced to resort to agitation. We also appeal to NGOs to launch a drive against charging of exorbitant toll tax and file a public interest litigation with the Punjab and Haryana High Court seeking suitable directions to the NHAI to effect a rollback,” said the members. Travelling by car from Ludhiana to Jalandhar costs Rs 82 one way and Rs 123 for return journey at the Satluj barrier near
Phillaur.

Teacher’s front, trade unions stage dharna
Our Correspondent
Raikot, November 20 The dismissed teachers had led an agitation demanding salaries under the government scales. Scores of teachers and members of various organisations participated in the dharna and condemned the atrocities of private schools and exploitation of teachers in violation of rules. At least 15 women and two male teachers — Harpreet Singh Burmi and Kuljeet Singh Tajpur — had taken part in a teachers’ protest on October 29 at the school, which has around 1,400 students. On October 30, representatives of teacher unions also joined them and in order to hush up the case, the school management persuaded the agitating teachers to take classes, seeking time till November 4. On October 31, parents of students staged a dharna at the school and on November 1, Bikramjit Singh Binjal, president of the school management, bowing to their pressure dismissed Burmi and Tajpur. The protesting teachers claimed that the parents’ protest was stage-managed by the school management to prevent other teachers from taking part in future agitations over pay scales. Various union activists and trade union leaders had been camping at the school ever since the dismissal of the teachers and had staged protests. They had also appealed to the local administration to intervene and reinstate the two teachers. Burmi said they would continue their agitation and unions supporting their cause were in favour of forming a joint action committee to intensify their agitation. Democratic Teachers Front district committee member Harish Modgil said all teacher and trade unions of the area had joined hands over the issue. The protesters later handed over a memorandum to tehsildar Ram Singh in the absence of SDM Mukand Singh.

MC plans shifting of power, telephone poles
Our Correspondent
Ludhiana, November 20 Ludhiana Tribune had carried a story in its issue of November 17 that a number of poles standing in the middle of roads at various places in the city were posing a grave threat to motorists and other road users. MC Commissioner AK Sinha today said a senior officer of the corporation had been directed to get a survey of busy roads conducted to identify the electricity and telephone poles that were causing obstruction to traffic and posing threat to road users. “Once the survey is completed, the matter will be taken up with the Punjab State Electricity Board for obtaining estimates for shifting the poles that have to be carried out as a deposit work. Since substantial funds are to be spent for shifting of electricity poles, we shall fix priority on the basis of traffic volume and get the work done in a phased manner,” he added. According to him, there were quite a few telephone poles at different locations that were no longer being used to support cables. But Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited had not removed the poles for unknown reasons. “We shall coordinate with the BSNL authorities and even provide the MC labour for the removal of such poles as the work does not entail any financial commitment.”

Vet body launches agitation
Doraha, November 20 Dr Ashok Sharma and Dr Abdul
Mazid, presidents of the Punjab State Veterinary Officers’ Association and Rural Veterinary Officers’ Association, respectively, criticised the defiant attitude of the state government in not releasing the allowance. In a joint press statement issued here today, the leaders flayed the discriminatory attitude of the Punjab government towards veterinarians and the delay in the implementation of their right dues. “When other state governments, Union Territory administrations, veterinary and agricultural universities and even the Indian Army were in the position to give the allowance to veterinarians, it was surprising to see the Punjab government’s reluctance in paying the allowance to its veterinary officers when the animal husbandry and dairy sectors were playing a key role in improving the fiscal health of the state.

Trophies lose sheen among felicitators, recipients
Mandi
Ahmedgarh, November 20 Having lost craze among organisers, trophies are being shifted from showcases and cupboards to stores in houses these days. Higher inspirational value, utility and easy availability of popular items are being cited as the reason behind
the trend. Investigations by Ludhiana Tribune have revealed that instead of passing through the cumbersome process of procuring trophies for felicitation of guests, function organisers prefer to purchase framed pictures and other suitable items for the
purpose. Though new items are easily available at department stores, manufacturers and suppliers of trophies have also started providing these at their stores. “Instead of convincing organisers to purchase mementoes prepared by us and lose our customers permanently, we have started stocking items of their choice at our showrooms,” said a local memento and trophy manufacturer, admitting decline in sale of his original products. Dr Bhupinder Singh Bedi, patron of local unit of an international club, says both organisers and recipients like the new trend. “Whereas the trend has relieved organisers of the long process of placing orders for trophies and then waiting for their supply at the nick of time, recipients have also appreciated the change. Those who have been receiving mementoes frequently have started dumping them in bags instead of decorating them in showcases and cupboards,” adds Bedi. Jagjit Singh Jajjie, an organiser, asserts that the higher inspirational value, utility and easy availability of popular items have prompted the replacement of mementoes during felicitation functions. “Mementoes have become so monotonous that recipients have stopped taking them home. Instead, they give these to their aides and friends. On the other hand, organisers have wider range to choose from, according to the personality of the recipient,” argues Jajjie.
