SAD-BJP meeting on power issue put off
Chandigarh, December 27 According to sources, the meeting will now be held on January 3. It was postponed because of the unavailability of Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal who is abroad as well as the fact that Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal was also slightly unwell yesterday. Another reason for the postponement, according to sources, is the lack of political will to take a firm stand on the issue of subsidy for tubewell operations, which has virtually bankrupted the Punjab State Electricity Board (PSEB) with a large amount of power being frittered away in the name of supply to the agricultural sector. The government is finding it difficult to give the due monthly subsidy to the board on time, which has affected the board’s operations. The SAD is finding it difficult to do away with free power, as this is something, which was promised by Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal, and it does not want to admit that it is unworkable. Also taking back the facility would rob the SAD of an emotional plea while going back to farmers to ask for their votes. Various options are being discussed, including one which calls for charging farmers for power but giving small and marginal farmers coupon cards which they can encash from cooperative banks. This scheme is aimed at ensuring all power given to the agricultural sector is accounted for. However, it is to be seen how it will be implemented as cooperative banks do not have the wherewithal to provide service to lakhs of farmers who could avail of the scheme if offered to them. Meanwhile, sources say time is running out for the government to impose taxes. They said governments are extremely reluctant to impose taxes during the last year of their tenure and the present government, which has completed half of its tenure, needs to take a quick decision on the issue of mobilising funds. The two member committee comprising the Deputy CM and Local Bodies Minister Manoranjan Kalia has proposed a number of steps to raise funds, including imposition of abiana or water charges on farmers for canal water. However all proposals are on a standstill with the government not clear whether to go with populism or financial pragmatism.

Sikh priests to discuss changes today
Neeraj Bagga/Tribune News Service
Amritsar, December 27 They expressed apprehensions of effecting changes in the calendar at separate meetings held here today. The five Sikh high priests are scheduled to hold a meeting to discuss changes in the calendar at Akal Takht secretariat tomorrow. The Sikh Watch Group (SWG), comprising former jathedars and the Sikh intelligentsia, has announced to reject any change in the calender. Members of the SWG, Balwant Singh Dhillon and Kulwinder Singh Bajwa, also members of the Nanakshahi Calender Committee, said the proposed amendment was uncalled for as the calendar was already widely accepted all over the world duly endorsed by the SGPC and Akal Takht. Dhillon said the calendar was prepared in 1995 but it was implemented only in 2003. He opined that it would be wrong to pattern it on Vikrami calendar since the latter increased every next year by 20 minutes. Hence, a day was increased after 24 years, he claimed. He said the calendar was endorsed by the Central and state governments besides various sikh organisations set up in numerous countries around the world. Former Akal Takht Jathedar Giani Joginder Singh Vedanti, in whose tenure the calendar was adopted, said adequate time for suggestions and improvements was given. He recalled that opinions were invited from religious, ideological and historic grounds through a letter written on April 22, 2008, and the deadline was till August 15, 2008. He wondered that nobody had come forward then. He alleged that some vested interest were adamant to divide the community on certain issues. He said the SWG was formed to watch such nefarious designs and alert the community. The Dal Khalsa, a radical group, shot off a letter to Akal Takht Jathedar Giani Gurbachan Singh for registering its protest against any change in the pattern of the calender. The letter stated that if the pattern of the calendar was changed as per Vikrami calendar, the day would be recorded as a “black day” in the Sikh history.

Harivallabh Sangeet Sammelan
Jalandhar, December 27 The Ujjain-born Gundecha brothers opted for Dhrupad, their chosen style of singing, when things weren’t as glorious for Dhrupad as they are today. So what made them stick to it? “Purity of notes,” they say in unison, here to sing at the Harvallabh Sangeet Sammelan. “We did pursue our masters degree in music, where we were exposed to all styles of singing, but Dhrupad always pulled us towards it.” Tutored by their Gurus, Dhrupad maestros Ustad Zia Fariduddin Dagar and Ustad Zia Mohiuddin Dagar, they sought to preserve the pure, ancient form of Dhrupad, while also striving to keep its popularity alive. Pt. Umakant and Pt. Ramakant Gundecha talked to The Tribune on the sidelines of the Sangeet Sammelan: Q. Tell us about your initial talim. Were you ever punished? A. We used to get punished often but were loved much more by our gurus. Both of us are pure vegetarians and do not even take tea. But till date there was just one instance in our life when we had tea and that too was at the insistence of our guru. Q. What is so unique about the Dagar Gharana ? A. The Dagars have upheld this tradition for the past 19 generations. They have promoted professionalism and have laid emphasis on sticking to the original style. So it is still alive and thriving. Q. When you chose Dhrupad, what were its aspects which you worked on? A. We thought about the overall presentation of Dhrupad. We attempted to revive its aesthetics as compared to other forms of singing. We also worked on the voice culture and the intonation of words. (While composing a Surya hymn from the Rig Veda for the World Poetry Festival, the duo is said to have taken lessons in pronunciation from a priest for that perfect uccharan). Q. Tell us about your experiments with poetry A. On one side where we worked towards rendering Dhrupad purer, we also thought that incorporating the works of the poets within the set rules of Dhrupad might render it a larger appeal and the experiment worked. We have worked on poets like Kabir, Meera, Tulsidas, Nirala, Mahadevi Prasad, Keshav Das, Padmakar and others. Q. Does spirituality play a part in Dhrupad? A. According to Indian philosophy that is the very aim of music. Commercial music entertains us but classical music fulfils the soul. Q. Tell us about your students. A. We have 25 people learning from us at the Dhrupad Kendra in Bhopal. We have both Indian and foreign students. In them, we see a very bright and safe future for Dhrupad. We also have an audio/video research library where we constantly work on the basis of references of swaras in the Sangeet Ratnakar and the Natyashastra. Q. What are your upcoming projects? A. We have a performance this month in Mumbai where, for the first time, we would be performing to the accompaniment of western instruments. It would strictly be a Dhrupad recital but to the accompaniment of instruments like the Cello (Nancy Lesh), Saxophone (Igino) and Silver Flute (Virginia).

Sonia urged to reconstitute state Cong
Chandigarh, December 27 Goel, who has also urged the Congress president to appoint former Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh as president of the Pradesh Congress so that the Akalis could be taken on “effectively”, said the coordination committee needed to be more representative. He said some leaders who were Delhi-based and could not devote time to state affairs should be removed from the committee in favour of leaders who were fighting the Akalis at the grassroots level. The vice-president said the coordination committee should also not give the feeling of being a Patiala coordination committee.

Farmers sell stocked PUSA 1121
Mandi Ahmedgarh, December 27 They maintained that besides losing quantity and quality due to inadequate stocking facilities, they had to spend thousands on transportation to far off places, including those in Haryana. Contrary to their expectation that they would be able to realise over Rs 3,000 per quintal in the open market like previous years, majority of the farmers were offered rates between Rs 1,200 and Rs 2,000 per quintal. While some of them agreed to sell the produce in panic, others preferred to wait. Dhanwant Singh Samra, a farmer of Chhanna village, who had stocked his produce in expectation of getting Rs 3,100 per quintal like previous year, cleared his stocks to a trader of Samana at Rs 2,000 per quintal. “Though we wanted to stock the produce for a few months, we had to sell it off as it was very difficult to maintain its quality. When traders started quoting much lower prices on pretext of discolour and moisture content, we decided to realise whatever we could,” said
Samra, regretting that he had suffered a massive loss due to wastage during stocking and transportation. Jasbir Singh Sekhon of Chhappar village was among others who sold their produce between Rs 1,500 and Rs 1,650 to owners of some rice shellers. Deals through procurement agencies also failed to fetch better prices to the farmers. A large number of paddy growers of this part of Malwa had stocked their produce at their homes after an organised movement by farmers’ organisations to enable them get remunerative price for the PUSA 1121 bore no fruit. Exploiting the trend, traders and owners of rice shellers, who were earlier reluctant to buy the variety in mandis, started approaching disappointed farmers for making bargains in their (traders) favour.

After state’s initiative, HP police too wakes up
Megha Mann Tribune News Service
Anandpur Sahib, December 27 A police team headed by SP Bilaspur Kuldeep Sharma visited the village today and put up a camp with local youth club. Sharma said neither drug sellers nor drug buyers would be spared. He promised to cooperate with the state police in fighting against the menace. While the village lies under HP, it is surrounded by villages of Punjab falling under Anandpur Sahib tehsil. Drugs peddling had been raising its ugly head in the village with drugs being sold in entire north India and raw material being procured from areas of Jharkhand, Rajasthan and parts of HP. While the HP police chose to sleep over the issue, SSP Ropar LK Yadav launched a pilot project seven months ago that largely banked on public participation and different policing strategies in controlling the menace. During his visit to the village on Saturday, the DGP Punjab met villagers, who hailed the project for adding the difference. Villagers apprised him of the village being a den of illicit liquor and opium with most of it pouring in from the Dabit area of Himachal Pradesh. Taking advantage of piquant geographical situation and lack of commitment on the part of police, Majari smugglers had cared two hoots for law. Peddlers have identified certain points in the village that falls under jurisdiction of the HP police whereas upper portion falls under the Punjab police. One such particular vulnerable point is the siphon canal of BBMB that goes from Debit to Majri villages. The bed of this canal is always pock-marked with imprints of tyres of vehicles. The Ropar police cops did not enter the village, which is not in their jurisdiction, but ran coordinated campaign from outside. The DGP has also directed SSP Ropar to send him report on the work of officials who have contributed actively in the project.

Proliferation of Mobile Phone Towers
Muktsar, December 27 And, as experts say, the problem in the region is symbolic of the malaise all over where mobile towers have been erected. “We conducted a study at the centre recently and found that uncontrolled and unscientific proliferation of mobile phone towers is bringing down sparrow population. Conservation of house sparrows require enforcement of strict rules and regulations as far as erection of mobile phone towers is concerned,” Rakesh Sahu, an ornithologist working with the Salim Ali Centre for Ornithology and Natural History, Anaikatty (Coimbatore), said. “The study revealed that the birds, which nest near towers, were found to leave them within one week. Incubation takes 10 to 14 days. But eggs laid in nests near towers were found to have failed to hatch even after 30 days. The study also revealed that mobile towers were found to emit electro magnetic waves of a very low frequency but that was enough to harm the thin skull of chicks and their egg shells,” said Sahu, who had been working in the centre for the past 14 years. Keeping in view the falling population of the house sparrow, experts feel that it had become imperative to include this bird in the endangered list and take steps to protect them from vanishing. There are more than 80 mobile towers in Muktsar district alone. In many places, three or four towers are erected within half-a-km radius. Sources reveal that a mobile tower emits microwave radiations in the Radio Frequency Radiation (RFR) part of the spectrum of electro magnetic waves. RFR is a source of thermal energy and in adequate doses, has all known effects of heating on biological systems, including burns and cataracts in the eyes. “Leave alone the sparrows, the heating effect of RFR can also become a problem in individuals with metallic implants like rods in bones as electromagnetic interference can interact with cardiac pace makers,” Dr Vaneet Gupta, an oncologist working with Adesh Institute of Health Sciences, said here. “House sparrows like areas modified by humans like farms, residential clusters and urban areas, where they nest in crevices inside or on buildings. However, with mobile towers springing up in a haphazard manner, sparrows are getting killed due to radiation emitted from these structures,” Dr Gupta added. “To satisfy the requirement of consumers, cellphone companies are installing tower almost at every place in small towns and villages also. With an average life span of 13 years sparrows tend to forage for food on the ground, using a hopping movement when not in flight. They aggressively protect a small territory around their nests. Mobile tower radiation destroys that territory and with it the innocent sparrow,” said Jatinder Sharma, chief conservator, Forests (Hills), Punjab. However, Lt Gen (Retd) Baljeet Singh, a keen bird watcher, differs from what Sahu says and expands a different theory for the disappearance of the birds. He says: “The rapidly changing habitat of the house sparrows is the main reason for their disappearance. I have heard that radiation from mobile towers is responsible but I have not come across any scientific evidence which proves that radiation is killing the birds”.

Kinnow production to touch all-time high
Punjab expects production of citrus fruit kinnow in the state to touch an all-time high of 7 lakh Metric Tonne (MT) this year on account of favourable weather conditions and higher acreage.
“The Kinnow production this year is expected to be 7 lakh MT, which will be the highest ever in the state,” state’s nodal officer (Citrus) and deputy director of Horticulture Gurkamal Singh said. He said favourable weather conditions during flowering of the crop would be the main reason behind the record production of the fruit coupled with higher acreage. The fruit starts arriving in the market in December and continues till March. Area under kinnow, which is mainly grown in Hoshiarpur, Muktsar and Abohar districts, this year stood at 39,000 hectares, up by 4,000 hectares against last year, he said. The production of the fruit in the state has been in the range of 4 to 5 lakh MT over the past few years. In 2005 -06, the area under the fruit stood at 22,887 hectares with production of 4.3 lakh MTs, while in 2007-08 it jumped to 5.91 lakh MT with area under cultivation at 31,788 hectares. However, in 2008-09, though acreage rose to 35,000 hectares output fell to 3.5 lakh MT due of poor weather. With state anticipating bumper output, the yield of kinnow will also improve to 20 tonnes per hectare from an average yield of 12 tonnes a hectare, he said. — PTI

Demand for skin cream doubles its price
Ludhiana, December 27 In order to unveil the ongoing ‘black marketing’ of the specific skin cream, the Anti-Corruption Committee, an NGO, sent their members in
Jalandhar, Hoshiarpur, Amritsar, Phagwara and Ludhiana wherein they bought the ointment from retailers for Rs 30 and Rs 40 as per their location in the cities. When the NGO members confronted the retailers on the issue, the retailers said that they had little option as the medicine wholesalers are selling
it to retailers for Rs 25 to Rs 28 per ointment. Anil Kapoor, a member of the NGO, in a letter written to the State Drug Controller alleged Glaxo Smith Kline for allowing the wholesalers to hoard and indulge in black marketing of the cream. He also alleged that people of the state have ended up paying Rs 27,30,000 extra for the said cream since November 2009. Most chemists are selling this ointment without the prescription of skin specialists, which according to Dr Bimal
Kanish, a skin specialist in Ludhiana, is not only the violation of the Drug and Cosmetic Act but also hazardous for those who apply it without prescription. “Betnovate N is a steroid which is topical ointment used for various skin allergies. Being the tried and tested ointment for winter skin allergies, it has become a home remedy for the people who go and ask the chemists for the ointment and they oblige them by asking for extra money,” observed the skin specialist.
Vipin Sahni, the area manager of Glaxo Smith Kline, believes that the wholesalers and retailers are trying to tarnish the image of the company by indulging in black marketing of the ointment. “We have given adequate supply to the distributors so as to meet the increased demand of the cream in winters. Out of 8,60, 000 pieces in the northern region, 1, 60,000 has been supplied in the state alone,” Sahni said. He also added the company would extend every support in putting an end to the menace of black marketing of the ointment.

18 kg of gold, diamonds stolen
Ludhiana, December 27
The thieves decamped with gold and diamonds kept in the safe. They did not have to break in to lay their hands on the jewellery. They had duplicate keys of the main door and the safe. They opened the locks, cleared the safe and went away. The theft came to light when Dinesh Kumar, a security guard, reached the store at 9.30 am. He saw the locks and the safe door open. He informed the store manager, Tarunpal Kaur. The manager informed the police at around 12.30 am. The police pressed sniffer dogs into service. Forensic experts also collected finger prints. SHO Division Number 5 JS Mangat said it seemed to be the handiwork of an insider. He said more than one person was involved in the theft. The role of two security guards, Mal Singh and Dinesh Kumar, is already under the scanner. Mal Singh, who is on duty till 8 am everyday today left early at 6 am. Dinesh, too, came late by half an hour. The SHO said it was gross negligence on the part of the store management that they switched off the CCTV cameras at night. The wire of the security alarm of the main safe was also disconnected a few days ago, which was not repaired by the staff. Two employees of the store were also recently thrown out. The police is working on studying their role also. The store manager and the owner were tight-lipped and refused to divulge details about the loss. The police has booked a former employee, Sandeep Kumar, and registered a case of theft against him.

Kanchan Vasdev/Tribune News Service
Ludhiana, December 27 Talking to TNS today, SP-III, Harjinder Singh, who was asked to conduct a fresh investigation into the case, said the perusal of cellphone records of Bains suggested that he was many kms away from the spot.

Interestingly, Pardeep’s bail plea is pending in a court. Stating that his new special investigation team (SIT) had worked on eight different questions posed to them by the ADGP after ordering a fresh probe, the SP said they had investigated how the Tehsildar could mention so many names in the FIR.

The new probe team was formed last month, five months after the registration of the case, investigation of an SIT and subsequent presenting of a challan in a court. The three-member investigation team was asked to look into the case again.
