Teaching driving the wrong way
Amritsar, December 11 This correspondent spotted a driving school car coming from the wrong side from the under-construction elevation on the GT Road, leading towards New Amritsar. Nevertheless, the car went by peacefully in not so friendly circumstances when the construction material was spilled over on the road up to
the middle, but it surely disturbed the traffic flow coming its way. Ironically, the act was duly witnessed by a Punjab Police cop on “duty”. This “could have been a fatal episode” is enough to describe the concern of the administration towards the safety of the commuters when the very first lesson was being wrongly taught to the learner right under the nose of the policeman on duty. Another such car with “L” board displaying getting “recognition from the government” was also found to be on the wrong side of the law. The instructor, sitting on the front seat with a woman learner, did not bother to wear seat belt. The reality check revealed more startling facts. Giving two hoots to the mandatory norms, hoards of driving schools are there in the posh area like Ranjit Avenue operating from just the roadside having hardly any office to take theoretical classes on driving norms. The Motor Vehicle Act norms demand that the driver should have theoretical knowledge about the vehicle. It is a prerequisite condition for a driver to know about traffic signals and theoretical classes for the purpose must be conducted by a driving school management in a building with traffic signboard, blackboard and road plan, etc. These driving schools need to be registered with the administration. Nevertheless, a licence is given to driving schools for a one-year span only and is further renewed after the physical verification of the vehicles and the inspection of all mandatory apparatus or equipment at their offices. But here, the condemned vehicles are put to use for learning purposes only. And for physical verification of the vehicles! Who has time and energy for all this exercise? They know it. As per the law, a person who wants to learn driving a light motor vehicle (LMV) like a car must attain the age of 18 or above and it is a mandatory condition that he or she should also possess a learner’s licence before occupying the driving seat. But who cares? Official reaction
Jasbir Singh, District Transport Officer said, “ It is really a grave issue. I will get it inspected tomorrow. If any such school is found to be running in an unauthorised manner or not complying with the Motor Vehicle Act norms, it would be dealt with sternly. At present I am not in a position to tell you the number of registered driving schools, but I will get examined the validity of their licences too.” What do the rules say
* The instructor must have either diploma in mechanical engineering or ITI certificate in motor engineering. *
The operator must possess licence from the STA for running a driving school and intimate about the renewal of the permit two months prior to the expiry date. |

Waqf Board files suit before Commissioner
P.K. Jaiswar Tribune News Service
Amritsar, December 11 Meanwhile, the Fruit and Vegetable Merchants Union has also decided to move to the Punjab and Haryana High Court for compensation against the demolition of their shops in the old vegetable market, near Hall Gate, here on November 28. The Punjab Waqf Board in its case claimed that the Central government granted over 66 kanals of land in the market to the board under its notification DN128/1989 and a case was pending in the High Court regarding transferring the ownership of the land. Earlier, the land was known as Anjuman Islamia Park. The board prayed to the Commissioner to set aside the eviction orders passed by the SDM, besides considering the board as one of the respondents. It also urged to stay the proceedings of the property in question. Harish Taneja, general secretary of the union, said the Commissioner had admitted the appeal and considered the board as the party. Earlier, the union, terming the demolition of shops as illegal as the case of eviction was pending with the Commissioner, Jalandhar Division, while the shops were demolished. He said they got a copy of the eviction orders of 75 shops given by the SDM-I on October 22 against which they could file an appeal within one month which they did on November 17. The hearing was fixed for November 26. He said Deputy Commissioner Kahan Singh Pannu who also had the charge of Divisional Commissioner, did not hold the court and the next date of hearing was fixed on November 27. Taneja said on November 27, Pannu after listening to their side fixed the next date of hearing on December 3 and a notice in this regard was also sent to the Municipal Corporation. Taneja said the old Sabzi Mandi was established on “nazool” land in 1952. These also include 18 shopkeepers and vegetable merchants who were rehabilitated by the government after partition here. The union urged the local legislative members to raise their voice against the injustice meted out to them by the MC.

Choked drains, garbage and brick lanes are thy bane
Due to choked sewerage, the sewage enters houses. The authorities got it cleaned, but the problem cropped up again after a couple of days P.K. Jaiswar Tribune News Service
Amritsar, December 11 A visit to the site reveals that pebbles were left scattered on the passage supposed to be transformed into a complete metalled road, which has not happened till date. The work started just prior to the parliamentary elections, obviously to woo the voters. But after that it became a nuisance for the inhabitants and industries situated in the area as the authorities did not bother to lay premix after the elections were over. “During rains it was like living in hell with the authorities turning a blind eye while their repeated requests to the local political leaders fell on deaf ears,” said Manjit, a resident of the area. They (the political leaders) only gave verbal assurances doing nothing concrete to solve their problem, he added. The development of the area remained at the end of the priority list of these leaders and the authorities concerned as it mainly constituted small-scale industrial units, alleged a factory manger, preferring anonymity. He said they had to face hardships in loading and unloading materials while sometimes these stones caused serious injuries to our workers. Bricks were laid in a majority of the lanes in the Kirpal Colony adjoining Chawla Colony and some other areas in January this year. However, these brick-laid roads failed to solve their problems. The other problem, which the area faces, is of garbage dumps. Heaps of garbage could be seen in every nook and corner of these colonies while the often chocked sewerage and open drains are bane of somewhat better localities like Jawahar Nagar, New Jawahar Nagar, Tandon Nagar, Rajindra Nagar, etc. Sarvesh Rani, a resident of Jawahar Nagar, pointed out that due to chocked sewerage, the sewage entered their houses. She said they complained to the authorities concerned who got it cleaned, but the problem cropped up again after a couple of days. Ravi of Tandon Nagar said sometimes corporation employees put the rubbish on the road after de-silting the open drains which again fell into drains leading to their blockage. CouncillorSpeak
Anuj Sikka, councillor of Ward 12 said it was for
the first time that the roads and brick lanes had come up in the areas
of Kirpal Colony and Chawla Colony since the constitution of the
Municipal Corporation which otherwise remained neglected during previous
governments. He said he spent about Rs 9 lakh for laying brick lanes
in the area, adding that the wet mix was laid during the construction of
Batala Road after laying sewer pipes. However, he admitted that the work
of laying premix was delayed due to a shortage of finances and scarcity
of employees. Sikka claimed that during his stint the first phase of
development of the ward was completed in which lanes were cemented in
Vijay Nagar, Jawahar Nagar and several other areas while the remaining
localities would be covered in the second phase. On the chocked
sewerage, he said the old sewerage was needed to be replaced. He said a
manifold increase in the population had put extraordinary pressure on
the system. He said he had made sure that regular desilting took place
for which he had constituted a team to visit the areas regularly. He
said he had submitted a detailed project report of Rs 20 lakh for
replacing the old system which had been cleared in the previous House
meeting. |

Small petrol pumps creating big trouble
Amritsar, December 11 The prohibited activity not only place the precious lives in danger, but also hinders the smooth flow of traffic on the busy roads. Two small filling stations are located back to back at the entrance of the Queens road coming down from the Bhandari Bridge. They are almost located on the side of the road with no ample space for vehicles to park to get their tanks refilled. Similarly, a filling station on the road at the back of the Gol Bagh and another at the entrance
of the Batala road are no different. Sources said the smaller petrol pumps were meant for two-wheelers. As per the norms they had to install bar in shape of iron girders to prohibit entry of heavy vehicles. However, these and other filling stations located in the city had no bars from stopping the entry of heavy and
big vehicles. A resident of Gali Ramanand, Sunita Arora, said she had to travel twice a day on the route to go to a school in the morning and return home in the noon. According to her, several times she had to encounter the traffic blues in shape of stationary vehicles in front of filling stations encroaching upon the road. She is not alone to suffer as the entire traffic comes to grinding halt and the road is shrunk to few meters allowing vehicles to trickle out. The problem is compounded by parking of vehicles on both sides of the road. When contacted, District Food and Civil Supply Controller (DFCSC) Anjuman Bhaskar said all these filling stations were allotted long ago and rules were changed and redrafted numerous times after their setting up. She added that her department was tasked with monitoring quality and quantity control of petrol and diesel. She said otherwise filling stations were governed by allotment rules drafted by oil companies themselves. |

Poor lighting turns road accident-prone
Amritsar, December 11 Adequate road lighting is the basic requirement of any modern city. To observe the city’s infrastructure on this parameter, a Tribune team visualised one of the most prominent roads - Majitha Road. The importance of this road could be gauged from the fact that it leads to Guru Nanak Dev Hospital and ESI Hospital and always remains busy. Right from Phuwara Chowk to Postmortem Centre, there were 46 poles. With each pole holding two sodium lamps, it amounts to 92 lights in total. Ironically out of these, 33 bulbs were found to be non-functional. Similarly, from Postmortem Centre to ESI Hospital, the whole stretch on one side was without any light. In the absence of proper light, the slow moving traffic like the cycle rickshaws, rehris and even the animals cannot be spotted which lead to fatal accidents most of the times. “It is true that it becomes quite risky to cross the road because in the absence of proper light, the injury prone uneven passage cannot be located easily. We have brought it to the notice of the Municipal Corporation many a time but in vain,” rued 78-year-old Karamjit Singh. Nevertheless, this pathetic scenario would be enough to imagine the state of affairs on other roads. Questions are being raised that where the funds worth crores are being spent in the name of development to match its level to the standards of an international city. Another point of concern, as cited by residents of nearby localities, is that the improper lights on the streets enable the unscrupulous elements to prosper. “Many a time, we have spotted drug addicts and suspicious persons standing in groups in the dark. It is quite risky to pass this road, especially during the winters when the days get shorter. Many incidents of snatching and quarrelling have taken place on this road and the police is in the know of things occurring here but hardly bothers to take any action,” rued the residents. Official reaction
MC Commissioner D.P.S. Kharbanda: The lights on the stretch might have developed some technical snag. I will get it rectified. Otherwise, the situation is not so gloomy. The Punjab Energy Development Authority has been engaged for making streetlights operational in a more efficient way. For the purpose, photo voltic cells are being developed. This
non-conventional way would conserve electricity and work in more efficient way. A consultant has already been engaged for Amritsar city and the proposal would be made practical soon. |

93.76 cr for augmentation of water supply, sewerage
Amritsar, December 11 Punjab Water Supply and Sewerage Board Chairman Dr Baldev Raj Chawla said tenders for the Ministry of Urban Development-approved projects were received on November 30 and were under process for approval. He said both the projects would be completed within the next two years. Chawla said the Central government would provide Rs 18.45 crore under the JNNURM, the Municipal Corporation of Amritsar (MCA) Rs 13.01 crore and the state government Rs 9.33 crore for restoring sewerage in the walled city. Besides, work on providing water supply at Rs 19.02 crore to certain slums was under progress. Chawla said the present population of the holy city was 11.50 lakh, while as per the 2001 census it was 9.76 lakh. However, 20 per cent of the population was yet to be provided piped water. Now they had been drawing water from hand pumps and bore well. On the other hand, 30 per cent of the population was without underground sewerage. Executive Engineer of the board Gurmeet Singh said under the project the entire existing sewerage would be plugged, desilted and cleaned. Subsequently, the sewers would be inspected through CCTV cameras and the faulty sewers would be dismantled and replaced. Streets without sewer would get new ones. The main intercepting sewer (600mm x 900mm) would also be plugged desilted, cleaned and inspected with CCTV cameras. The water supply in the walled city would be augmented at a cost of Rs 52.97 crore also under the JNNURM. Under the plan 75 per cent of the waterline would be replaced. The Central government would finance Rs 22.89 crore under the JNNURM, the Municipal Corporation Rs 17.33 crore and the state government Rs 12.76 crore. The walled city area was built by Maharaja Ranjit Singh in 1825 over an area of 3.45 sq km. The population of the walled city as per 2001 census was about 1.74 lakh and the present population is expected to be near 1.82 lakh. Its existing water supply system was laid during British rule. The existing water supply lines and the entire network had outlived its life. Hence, a heavy infiltration
through faulty joints and damaged pipes was identified as one of the major sources of drinking water
contamination which could cause epidemics in the area. |

Good news for traders: EDI system at Amritsar airport
Amritsar, December 11 The customs wing of the Airport Authority of India (AAI) has decided to introduce EDI system (electronic data interface) at Amritsar International Airport to facilitate the faster payment of duty drawback claims. With the introduction of this facility, the long-pending demand of the exporting fraternity would be met, which otherwise had proved to be a major dampener as a majority of the exporters
were hesitant to send cargo from this airport. Tarlochan Singh, member of the parliamentary panel on civil aviation, constituted to revitalise Amritsar International Airport, said at a recent meeting of the committee it was decided to take up several issues to start a new chapter to revive the lost business to this airport. “Minister of Civil Aviation Praful Patel was receptive to the suggestions of the panel and the EDI system would soon become operational. It definitely
would benefit a large number of exporters and business houses by diverting their export
cargo from this airport,” said Tarlochan Singh. He said the minister had agreed that the airport would be identified with a new name as Sri Guru Ram Dass International Airport. A notification to this effect would be issued soon in consonance with the resolution passed by the Punjab Legislative Assembly. Tarlochan Singh said he had mooted with the Civil Aviation Ministry to draw out a future expansion plan of the airport and advised him to acquire 500 acres of land which, at present, is available around the periphery to meet the growing needs of this strategically located airport. Meanwhile, he said the ministry must bring more flights to this airport as Air-India had recently curtailed certain flights and strongly advocated the setting up of an Air-India hub by stationing an aircraft for its operation to Gulf countries, Europe and the USA. |

Newlywed killed ‘for dowry’
Amritsar, December 11 Inderjit Kaur (24) had tied the nuptial nod on December 6 with Amanpreet Singh of border village Dhanoe, near Attari, here. Her body was handed over to the family after conducting a post-mortem examination on Thursday and a case has been registered under section 304-B, IPC, against her husband and mother-in-law. Lakhbir Kaur, a resident of Preet Nagar village and mother of the deceased, in her complaint lodged with the Gharinda police alleged that just after a day of marriage her in-laws started complaining about not giving dowry as per their demand. She added they had given “enough” dowry as per their capacity, including a car. She said the accused family demanded a luxury car instead of a small one. The in-laws said they had not given gold jewellery to their other relatives. She alleged on the very next day, when they called Inderjit to their house, she started weeping, saying that she was being mentally harassed. Later they came to know that she had died, added Lakhbir. She suspected that her daughter was killed by her in-laws. Harbhajan Singh, officiating in charge of Gharinda police station, said no arrest had been made so far. He added that during preliminary investigations the police team found no injury marks on her body or of poisoning. He said the police had been waiting for the post-mortem examination report for taking further action as the family of the deceased had only suspected that Inderjit might have been killed. |

Police pensioners want end to disparities
Amritsar, December 11 Chairman of the district unit of the PPPWA Sukhdev Singh Chhina said high costs of medicines and other tests had made the medical treatment extremely costly. He urged the medical allowance be raised from
Rs 500 to Rs 1,000 per month. He said discrimination in offering grades to former employees vis a vis current employees of the Punjab police must be removed at the earliest. Former Punjab police employees were offered revised grades from August 1, 2009, while the serving employees were extended the same grade from January 1, 2006. He urged that the pension payment orders for the employees under the rank
of inspector retired before January 1, 2006, be sorted out at the earliest. Interestingly, a conveyance allowance Rs 20 per month for serving constables and head constables and Rs 90 for assistant sub-inspectors, sub-inspectors and inspectors (non-gazetted officers), fixed on January 1, 1978, were still being offered despite the fact that the prices of diesel and petrol had skyrocketed since then. Chhina added that in spite of the fact that the pay was revised thrice since 1978, the conveyance allowance remained unchanged. The conveyance allowance being offered to class IV employees in the civil department was
Rs 70 per month. Similarly, Rs 25 per month kit maintenance allowance for constables and head constables and Rs 40 for non-gazetted officers had not been hiked since 1978. Executive clerical staff of the Punjab police used to be paid Rs 20 special pay when their monthly salary was
Rs 17. They were still being paid a special pay of Rs 20 without any revision. |
