Dharna by non-teaching staff of Modi College
Patiala, December 6 Vinod Sharma, press secretary of Modi College Non-Teaching Employees Union, said the protest was mainly due to the indifferent attitude of Punjab government. “We observed a full day stay-in-strike and dharna yesterday from 10 am to 2 pm in front of principal’s office.” Work in the college was badly affected. The secretary of union Sanjay Gupta, said after several demonstrations and strikes by non-teaching staff in private colleges of Punjab, the government was not showing any interest and was not implementing the 5th Pay Commission recommendations for non-teaching employees of private colleges. Whereas, the notification for implementation of the 5th pay commission for teaching employees of private colleges has already been issued. On the other hand, teaching and non-teaching employees of all government colleges of Punjab are getting the revised pay scales. Ajay Gupta, secretary of Punjabi University wing of Punjab and Chandigarh Non-Teaching Employees Union, said the boycott of house examinations was going on by the non-teaching employees of all private colleges of Punjab. The union would observe stay-in-strikes and dharnas in front of principal’s office on December 10 and 19, he added. |

Hotels warned against illegal parking
Patiala, December 6 The MC has decided to crack the whip against unauthorised parking outside hotels which leads to frequent traffic snarls. Manjit Singh Narang, MC Commissioner, said it had been brought to his notice that many hotels had been using municipal land for parking. It had been decided that a campaign would soon be launched against such parking. Most hotels located in the vicinity of Leela Bhawan had converted the basements of the hotels into eateries and had shown the basements as parking lots in the building plans approved by the MC. Narang said the hotel owners converted the basements into eateries and there was no parking inside the premises of the hotels. He said he had been informed that the hotels had saved land by changing the land use from parking to dining hall and got additional seating capacity without paying for it. Haphazard parking outside these hotels inconvenienced public as scores of vehicles were parked there. The problem gets aggravated in the evenings when the volume of traffic increases. Sources in the MC said notices had been periodically issued to these hotels some years ago, but the owners used their political connections and there was no follow-up action. Narang said he was not aware that the building plans approved for the hotels showed the basements as parking places. He said he would look into the matter and action would be taken if any violation of plans was detected. |
