Ludhiana, March 5
Life was paralysed in city for over two hours as a number of vehicles remain stuck in traffic jams following protest demonstration by various trade unions today.

There was chaos on roads leading to Bharat Nagar Chowk where trade unions held a “satyagraha” and blocked traffic for more than two hours to protest against rising prices and “anti-worker” policies of the government.

The call for the nationwide protest was given by central trade unions and the protest was led by activists of the All India Trade Union Congress (AITUC), the Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU), the Indian National Trade Union Congress (INTUC), the Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh (BMS) and the All India Confederation of Trade Unions (AICTU).

Carrying banners and placards, the slogan-shouting protesters criticised the government for steep rise in the prices of essential commodities, petrol and diesel, besides other policies like job freeze, blatant violation of labour laws, disinvestment of profit-making public sector units. The protesters were also demanding establishment of the national security fund for the agriculture and the unorganised labour.

Trade union activists, including OP Mehta, DP Maur from AITUC, Raghunath Singh, Jatinder Pal Singh from CITU, Kartar Singh Rathaur, Bhagirath Paliwal from the BMS, Balbir Singh, Swarn Singh from INTUC and Tarsem Singh Jodhan, Hardev Singh Kler from AICTU charged the government with being hand-in-glove with the powerful lobby of traders, capitalists and monopolists.

“The government at the Centre has failed to curb price rise. The recent Budget presented by the Finance Minister is a clear pointer towards the anti-people policies of the government. Hike in prices of petrol and diesel, coupled with other levies, has led to high inflation and added to the misery of the common man. To make the matters worse for the working class, policies of outsourcing, privatisation and contract system are being promoted while unemployment has assumed alarming levels and the labour laws are being flouted with impunity," the speakers maintained.

Lambasting the government for “wrong” economic policies, the trade union functionaries alleged that a majority of the population had been pushed towards unemployment, poverty, hunger and even suicides. While the prices of essential food items had gone over the roof under the pretext of recession, those of luxury items remained untouched. The public distribution system was in a state of collapse and the much-needed national security fund for unorganised sector was also a distant dream, they added.

Meanwhile, Northern Railway employees also held a protest march and rally under the banner of the Northern Railway Men’s Union (NRMU) and the Joint Platform of Mazdoor Organisation (JPMO) against price rise, privatisation, unemployment and hike in prices of petrol and diesel.

Mangat Ram Pasla, state secretary of the CTU, Daljit Singh, divisional secretary, NRMU and other trade union activists made scathing attacks on the government for its “failure” to check spiralling prices. In a note of caution to the government against privatisation and contract system, they called for filling of over 2.5 lakh vacant posts in the Railways.

The Department of Health and Family Welfare, Punjab, has suspended the vaccination supply to Dr BL Kapoor Memorial Hospital, Ludhiana, following the report “Hospital grant-in-aid trouble; accused of charging for vaccines that are procured free of cost,” carried in Ludhiana Tribune on February 18.

Ludhiana Civil Surgeon Maninderjit Singh, while giving details, said, “Soon after reading the report on the ongoing malpractices in the hospital, the department took serious notice of the same and ordered an inquiry.

Meanwhile, the Directorate of Health and Family Welfare, Punjab, has suspended the supply of the vaccination to the hospital, which was being given under the Post Partum Unit of Family Welfare.

The Civil Suregon also stated that he had asked the hospital Medical Superintendent Dr Waheguru Pal Singh for the “details” of the utilisation of the aid provided by the department to the hospital in 2008-09. “The hospital was given certain targets which had to be achieved under the Post Partum Programme and the hospital’s case for further recommendation for the aid has been withheld. The inquiry will be conducted at the earliest,” Dr Singh went on to say.

Finding substance in a complaint lodged by Paramjit Kaur of Brahampur village, the Latala police has booked her in-laws under Section 498 A of the IPC for allegedly harassing her to bring more dowry.

Allegations of preparation of the fake ‘divorce papers’ by the suspects and alleged violation of the PNDT Act are yet to be verified.

The case was registered on the basis of an inquiry conducted by the police, after The Tribune published a story on woes of the complainant and alleged inaction on the part of the cops.

The Punjab State Human Rights Commission (PSHRC) in Chandigarh had also sought a report from the state government, department of home affairs and justice and the SSP Ludhiana (Rural), for the alleged inaction on the part of the police in connection with the complaint.

The complainant had accused at least seven persons, including her husband Gurbachan Singh of Maherna Kalan, father-in-law Malkit Singh and mother-in-law Nachhattar Kaur, for allegedly subjecting her to physical and psychological harassment and preparing fake ‘divorce papers’.

The Naujwan Bharat Sabha, an NGO, fighting for the cause of the distressed women and the downtrodden, had also launched an agitation against the erring cops.

Denying allegations levelled against them, the defendants had maintained that the complainant had left the house after entering into a compromise with the suspects. However, they (defendants) failed to produce original records supporting genuineness of the alleged ‘fake divorce letter’, copy of which was submitted to the police.

In a communication addressed to higher authorities, including PSHRC chairman, Paramjit Kaur, a mother of two daughters had accused the Ludhiana (Rural) police of acting on the behest of her in-laws, who according to her had thrown her out of the house about 11 months ago.

The suspects had also threatened to get her brother booked in a false case if she failed to bring Rs 1 lakh from her parents. Her younger daughter died for want of proper medical care later.

Taking prima facie cognisance of the contents of the complaint, the PSHRC chairman had directed the SSP Ludhiana (Rural) and the principal secretary, department of home affairs, to file a report under Section 17 (1) of the Protection of Human Rights Act on sequence of events leading to plight of the complainant.

It was after The Tribune carried stories on plight of the victim, that the police initiated probe against the suspects. Acting on recommendations of the SSP Ludhiana (Rural) the SHO Dehlon registered an FIR against the suspects.

With annual examinations on, all roads leading to various schools across the length and breadth of the city turn into virtual parking lots at the time when the paper begins and ends as parents and guardians make a beeline to drop and pick up their wards.

The situation is particularly bad outside schools that serve as board exam centres with anxious parents accompanying their stressed up kids to provide them succour.

While most parents just come to drop and pick up their wards from the schools, there are many others who make it a point to remain outside while their children are writing their papers. As many schools are located in congested and residential areas they add to the already severe traffic problems.

Vehicles that are haphazardly double parked by the roadside have become a common sight outside most schools even as commuters have to squeeze their way through the heavy traffic jams and long serpentine queues.

School heads say they are unable to deal with the chaos as "it is outside the school area".

A principal of a local school, requesting anonymity, said, "We can only look after students within our school compound. The traffic outside is beyond our control”.

Another school head added, "It’s especially bad when some inconsiderate parents and drivers dropping off or picking up students simply park their vehicles anyway they like, blocking motorists using the road."

However, they added numerous requests to parents to not park their vehicles outside the school area for longer than 5-10 minutes have fallen on deaf ears as they say they "want to be with their kids for the exams".

Said Gurjit Singh, a security guard at a school: "During exams the traffic situation outside the school is really chaotic. There are children crossing the road and I'm concerned about their safety with so many vehicles around in the area”.

Sandeep Ahuja, a motorist, who daily passes by a school when going to his workplace, says, "It becomes impossible to find one's way out in the morning with so many vehicles parked outside the school. Everyday I get stuck in the traffic and get late for work."

With his never say die attitude Bhajan Singh, the donkey trader of Kohara village near here, walks 45 to 50 km every day with his flock of animals to sell them in markets all over Punjab, Rajasthan, Himachal Pradesh and even Jammu and Kashmir. He is now on his way to sell six of his donkeys at the Naina Devi market in Himachal Pradesh.

Taking a break for a tête-à-tête with The Tribune near Nawanshahr, the rustic trader, oozing with confidence, said: “I’ve practically measured every trail in the hills of Himachal Pradesh and every road that leads to my destinations in Rajasthan and Jammu and Kashmir on foot.”

Bhajan has been successful in earning a living by trading in donkeys for the past 47 years. “I was a teenager when I entered this business after getting inspiration from another trader who had made a fortune by selling and purchasing donkeys in North India.”

Recollecting his past, the old man further stated that the business had provided him a sizeable income for over four decades as he had built a house and was supporting his family members, having gotten some of them married off as well.

Bhajan has been a regular visitor to the annual donkey fair in Kanota village, barely 25 km from Jaipur in Rajasthan, which is famous for its pedigree donkeys.

Most of the deals are struck between traders who sell their donkeys to washermen, potters and construction workers to be used as load carriers. “The donkey bazaar is perhaps the largest in Asia, where I’ve been among the lucky few to have sold donkeys for between Rs 50,000 to Rs 1 lakh in good times”, reveals Bhajan.

To the amazement of those living near his home this man appears to be always on the move and, to acknowledge his long journeys on foot, some of his friends call him ‘marathon man’ and ‘Flying Singh’.

When asked how he travelled to far off places, Bhajan said, “I learnt earning money the hard way. I decided to utilise my potential to walk long distance to save money on transportation costs”.

Physically challenged students due to appear in the class VIII exams conducted by the Punjab State Education Board have been making the rounds of board offices demanding writers be provided to assist them in the examination hall.

According to regulations, disabled students are required take a class VII student of a government or a government affiliated/aided school. However, most class VII students are busy these days with their exams, leaving no other option for the disabled ones

“Despite submitting Rs 372 as fees with the education department, disabled students who are appearing in the exams privately are running from pillar to post to be provided writers. Many of them have even left studies in the recent past due to the apathetic attitude of board officials in this regard”,” said Rajesh Bhatia, principal of Gian Muni Jain Public School in Mandi Gobindgarh.

“One of the many harassed students of my school, Santosh Kumar, who is 60 percent disabled, spent six hours at PSEB office in Mohali where he had submitted a certificate obtained from the chief medical officer, Lucknow vouching for his disability. Despite the fact that the officials were informed he is very bright though disabled, he has not been allowed to sit in the exams even though his documentation is complete,” Bhatia said.

He added Santosh was allowed to take one exam on March 2 but was told to come to the PSEB office the next day to take written permission in this regard. “Though the officials there handed him a letter after taking Rs 372 as fees, Santosh was told to arrange for a class VII student studying in a government school”, Bhatia said.

The boy’s parents are now quite upset as they cannot find any student who is ready to write for their disabled child as the others too are appearing for exams in different schools.

Santosh took the help of a fellow student of his private school during the first exam of mathematics on March 2. He has now been told to obtain a letter of disability from the civil surgeon’s office in Fatehgarh Sahib. “Though the matter was brought to the notice of the board’s chairman and vice chairman nothing has been done”, he rued.

Despite repeated attempts to contact them no PSEB official was available for comments.

To bring transparency in the ongoing Focal Point road project, which was inaugurated by Minister for Local Bodies Manoranjan Kalia recently, Zonal Commissioner (B) MS Jaggi has asked a few industrial associations to get the material checked or examined at their own level so that no sub-standard material was used or work remained pending.

In a letter written to industrial associations, including the Chamber of Industrial and Commercial Undertaking, United Cycle and Parts Manufacturers Association, Focal Point Industrial Shed Association, Focal Point Phase VIII Industrial Association and the Confederation of Indian Industries here, Jaggi has sought cooperation from all.

"We are doing best on our part. But, the cooperation from industry is must. In case they find any discrepancy with the work or material, they should immediately report to us," said Jaggi.

Taking serious note of a complaint filed by a city-based NGO, Anti-Corruption and Crime Investigation Cell, on the pathetic condition of basic amenities and infrastructure at the local Civil Hospital, the Punjab State Human Rights Commission (PSHRC) has sought a report on the matter from the state health services director under Section 17(i) of the Protection of Human Rights Act 1993. The commission said the report must be submitted before the next date of hearing i.e April 12.

In his complaint Rohit Sabharwal, president of the NGO, stated that the doctors at the Civil Hospital recently had to treat a seven-year-old girl in candlelight as the regular power supply as well as the backup had failed. “The child, badly mauled by a stray dog, was brought to the hospital on January 28”, he added. On that day, the generator installed at the hospital was non-functional, according to a report of the incident carried by a section of the media.

Describing the state of medical care and conditions prevailing at the Civil Hospital as “pitiable”, Sabharwal in his complaint said, “The city, with a population of over 3 million, has a substantial number of migrant families who have to depend on government health institutions due to their limited resources”.

"Treating a patient in candlelight due to the power failure and a non-functional generator amounts to playing with the lives of poor people and ought to be checked. The officials responsible for providing healthcare and medical facilities should also be taken to task for this gross negligence on their part, which is also a clear case of violation of article 21 of the Constitution”, Sabharwal averred.

In the orders pronounced on February 17, PSHRC members LR Roojam and KK Bhatnagar observed: “After examining the contents of the complaint, the commission prima facie takes cognisance of the matter and calls for a report from the Punjab health services director, positively before the next date of hearing”.

Copies of the order as well as the complaint have been sent to the principal secretaries of the Punjab home affairs and health and family welfare departments.

Cheap imports from China have sent the state's hand tool industry into doldrums. Nearly 200 units in the state are in a shambles and are just fulfilling their overheads. If the scenario continues to be the same, these will be left with no option but to shift to some other profession.

The sales of hand tools have dipped by 30 per cent in the state. The production is going slow, while the cost of production is increasing due to labour shortage and non-availability of power.

Punjab has more than 200 units engaged in manufacture of spanners, pliers, screw drivers, ranches, tool kits and wheel spanners. While in the year 2006-07, the sales figures were 37232.97 (in lakhs), which have now dipped to 5143.04 in 2009-10.

"Imports from China are the major reason behind the decline in the sales. China-made products are cheap and people prefer buying the same. On the other hand, we cannot decrease our prices as cost of production is becoming very high due to labour shortage and disrupted power supply," said Karandeep Singh Kairon, general secretary of the Industrial Development Council.

After the recent labour unrest in the city, the industry is facing labour shortage, while the wages have increased manifold. "Earlier, we used to pay Rs 1500-200 to one worker, now they are demanding Rs 3000 for the same job," said one of the industrialists engaged in the manufacturing of hand tools.

“Chinese products have made their impact on the Indian economy. People prefer buying Chinese products due to their low prices. Mass production in China is giving jitters to the local industry.”

"One day weekly off is there. However, in summers there was two-day compulsory weekly off. The electricity rates have also increased by around 10-12 per cent which, in turn, also increases the cost of production," Kairon said.

It appears the much-awaited local bus services in the city, which has been a long standing demand of city residents, may not be a distant dream now as all major formalities for the project have been cleared in Chandigarh. Municipal corporation officials expect the services to be launched within the next 2 to 3 months, providing much needed relief to commuters.

The project cost has been estimated at Rs 66 crore (including purchase of new buses and construction of bus shelters), of which 50 per cent will be shared by the central government of India. The municipal corporation will chip in 30 per cent - about Rs 19 crore - while the Punjab government’s share will be 20 per cent. The state transport department, Chandigarh, will soon float tenders for buying 200 CNG and diesel buses.

MC commissioner AK Sinha told TNS the project details had been finalised. "As and when tenders will be floated the department will start purchasing buses. Not all the 200 buses will ply on the roads initially - they will become operational in phases", he said, adding bus shelters had already been constructed on Tajpur Road.

Ramesh Kumar, a bank employee, said bus services within the city had been keenly awaited by residents. “Commuting in autorickshaws has become very difficult as their drivers invariably overload them with passengers, caring a damn about their comfort. They even ask passengers to get down midway to avoid traffic jams and other hassles. Travelling in buses will be much more convenient and safer", he said.

Finally, local populace could heave a sigh of relief this monsoon with the Municipal Corporation deciding to purchase 35 special sewerage-cleaning machines within a few days.

The sewers that have not been cleaned for over a decade would finally be cleared of the sullage thereby helping smooth flow of discharge. The cleaning would also help spare the city of flooding that remained a perennial problem during rains and led to submergence of numerous low-lying houses and establishments.

Migrants wish to construct a home in the city still seems a distant dream. With little education and lack of awareness such migrants easily fell prey to land sharks.

Mohammed Sadik, a daily wager, who purchased 150 sq yd from his savings, knew little that a master swindler had tricked him.

The land shark lured him to buy his land that was already mortgaged to a bank.

Wanted in several cases of fraud, master swindler Ashish Aggarwal, who used to reside in Durgapuri Haibowal, is now learnt to be operating from Rajasthan. But the cops are washing their hands from the investigation and claiming that the master swindler is untraceable.

Aggarwal, who had committed a fraud with the Union Bank of India, also tricked Mohammed Sahkil, a daily wager, to part with his hard earned money.

Aggarwal took a housing loan worth Rs 9 lakh from the bank and resold the land measuring 150 sq yd to Shakil for Rs 5 lakh. The bank staff alleged that Ashish stopped paying installments following which the bank employees went to take possession of the land.

“It was after the bank employees came to take the land’s possession that I came to know the truth. Ashish tricked me into buying the land. I went to Ashish and asked him to return the money. He promised to return it but fled away from the city after a few days. Since then he is absconding. Recently, I came to know that he was operating from Rajasthan,” rued Shakil.

However, the bank employee managed to mount pressure on Ashish and took the principal amount of the land.

But before they could get the interest amount he fled away from the city. Now, Shakil and the bank are at loggerheads. Both are claiming themselves to be the rightful owner of the land.

The industry has resolved to oppose the move and representation is being sent to the Chief Minister with the request to withdraw this notification and also to discuss with them the industry related recommendations before accepting them.

DS Chawla, United Cycle and Parts Manufacturers’ Association, said they use gensets when the PSEB fails to provide them electricity. While an emergency meeting was held by the Ludhiana Machine Tool Manufacturers’ Association and all the members strongly condemned the government's decision to impose electricity duty on captive production.

Gurpargat Singh Kahlon, president of the Auto Parts Manufacturers’ Association said the industry was getting engulfed in various problems created by the Central and state governments. "We appeal the government to withdraw the notification immediately to save the industry from further destruction otherwise they will be compelled to lead the path of agitation,” he said. — TNS

The Dayanand Medical College and Hospital (DMCH) will hold a kidney stone detection and consultation camp on March 7. Patients will be given consultation free of cost by a team of doctors and those opting for the lithotripsy procedure will be given concession.

According to Dr Sandeep Sharma, professor and head, department of Urology, the hospital has a state-of-art machine for breaking kidney stones. Dr Sharma observed that renal stones mostly affected North Indians, which was also referred to as the "stone belt" by doctors.

Dr BS Aulakh, professor of urology and head of transplant unit of the hospital, added that stones were formed due to metabolic breakdown, heredity, infection, dietetic factors, low intake of water, a sedentary lifestyle, absence of stone inhibitors and hyperactivity of the para- thyroid gland.

Dr Arvind Goyal, assistant professor of urology, said high fluid intake was the single most important factor in the prevention of a kidney stone and its importance could not be undermined. He advised the people to have three to four litres of fluid intake daily, enough to produce 2 to 2.5 litres of urine.
