IT collection goes up in city
Ludhiana, March 9 The city has shown an increase of 12.9 per cent in income tax collection compared to the previous year. An increase of only 6.7 per cent in tax collection was seen in the entire country. This despite the fact that more than 5 lakh persons filed their returns in the city compared to more than 7 lakh last financial year. The Chief Commissioner of Income Tax, GS Randhawa, today said that during this financial year, the department was allotted a budget collection target of Rs 1491.07 crore and the revenue generated would be more than the target. “The achievement on this account up to January 31 stands at Rs 1178.00 crore, showing a growth of 12.9 per cent over last year’s collection up to January 31 of Rs 1039 crore,” he said. The budget target collection during 2008-09 was fixed at Rs 1,380 crore and Rs 1,465 crore were collected. “We are sure that the budget target collection figure would be exceeded this year as well,” he said. During the financial year 2008-09, the returns received were 709748 up to March 31, 2009. During the financial year 2009-10, the returns received up to January 31, 2010 stood at 525464. However, the IT Commissioner expressed concern over the lower number of returns received so far and said stringent action was being taken against non-filers and stop-filers through the issuance of notices. Subsequent action would be taken as per the Income Tax Act against the defaulters. “The due date for the payment of the last instalment of advance tax is March 15 and tax payers should pay up in time to avoid the levy of interest,” he added.

Dearth of plants at PAU nursery
Ludhiana, March 9 The PAU is equipped scientifically and intellectually to deal with queries and demands of people pertaining to plantation. However, contrary to the claims of the staff at the nursery who claim to have almost 50 verities of ornamental trees and plants like bottle brush, amaltas, jacaranda, silver oak and ashoka, some keen planters from the city had to return empty handed from the nursery as saplings of bougainvillea, hamelia, gulmohar and rose were not available. Ranjit Kaur, a resident of a village on the periphery of Ludhiana, said: “I had called up the PAU nursery for white bougainvillea, but the staff said it was unavailable.” A morning walker, pointing towards fewer ornamental plants and trees at the PAU, stated that a large number of plants had died, but had not been replaced. “Date palms would give the PAU a facelift, but it is necessary to emphasise the collection of seeds and saplings in the nursery that caters to people from across the state,” he said. Citing “improper care” as the reason behind the withering away of ornamental plants, a senior professor, requesting anonymity, stated that ornamental plants had not been watered regularly. “The ornamental plants/trees are not deep rooted and the receding water table has caused the damage,” he added. Dr RK Dubey, nursery in charge, said the university was doing its best to meet the demands of the people despite having limited funds. “Sowing and transplanting is a regular process and many a time, certain varieties of plants, flowers and trees are out of stock. But these are available after a few weeks. We take orders from people and try to procure the plants from outside,” he added. |
No water for days, already
Ludhiana, March 9 They said the weather was turning warm and the need for water had increased. “We have to fetch water in buckets from other colonies. This has been happening for the past three days. Complaints to the MC have yielded nothing. Whenever we approach them we are told that the pump had developed a snag. What can we do in such circumstances?” asked Sudhir Mudgal, a resident. He added that he had made rounds of the MC office and complained to the area councillor, Raju Thapar, also. “I was told that the snag would be rectified, but it has not been done till date. It has become very difficult for us,” he said. The residents said every now and then the tubewell needed repairs and they had to wait for days together for the work to begin. They said if the water supply was not restored, they would be forced to stage a dharna. Last week, residents of Shivaji Nagar and Narinder Nagar, which fall under Ward Number 18, too, had complained of water shortage for the past five days. They had also complained that their tubewell was out of order.

MC blind to encroachments at Urban Estate
Ludhiana, March 9 In order to restrict public and vehicle movement from vacant plots, officials have erected boundaries on either side, but have failed to remove the encroachments outside the houses in the area. The officials have not done anything about the gardens maintained by influential residents on the encroached land and have also given residents a free hand to make concrete parking for their vehicles. The stretch of the wide road demarcating Urban Estate Phase I and Phase II has been reduced to half as 15-20 ft of the road has been covered. A majority of residents have set up gardens on government land and put iron grills around the lawns. A senior citizen, pointing towards the ongoing commercial activities in residential colonies, stated: “Earlier, the practice was restricted to clinics, boutiques and small grocery corners in residences, but now people have taken the liberty by opening up dance centres, gymnasiums and beauty clinics at home.” The residents are subjected to traffic congestion and hooliganism due to the commercial centres in the area. The management of the Durga Mata Mandir, along with some residents, showed a sense of responsibility and volunteered to pull down the encroached structures.

Payal Fort: Admin gets 16 properties vacated
Mandi Ahmedgarh, March 9 The vacated property included 27 commercial establishments and residential abodes and their extensions. The action was accomplished in compliance of the directions of the Punjab and Haryana High Court. However, authorities at the government school being run in the premises of the fort have assured to vacate it soon after the board exams. Investigations by The Tribune revealed that a team of officials lead by SDM Payal Dr Neeru Katyal had got at least 16 defined properties from encroachers today. Though the administration had stated demolition drive on Monday, a few encroachers supported by some political outfits had opposed the move. They had virtually lain prostrate in the encroached portions of their shops and house to frustrate the movement. They, however, agreed to remove their belongings from the encroached property later on. According to Dr Neeru Katyal, the move to get the property vacated had been initiated in compliance of orders of the Punjab and Haryana High Court. The civil authorities during successive governments had been trying to get the property vacated for the past few decades. But every time the encroachers used to take political protection and evade the action. “Now when we have been directed by the court that all properties of the fort should be got vacated we had no alternative to serve notices to the illegal occupants. Though there was some resistance from a few encroachers, we persuaded them to vacate the properties to avoid legal consequences,” said Katyal adding the administration would help in rehabilitation of those whose residential abodes had been affected.

MCI gets strict; formulates new ethics
Ludhiana, March 9 Enquiries made by The Tribune have revealed that 10-year-ago an Indo - American girl student while studying in the USA found the practice of giving gifts and free foreign trips prevalent in the country. She raised her voice against these unethical practices and the same became a worldwide movement. In India, the practice of offering free gifts and free trips to doctors for the promotion of certain medicines by the pharmaceutical companies has been rampant. Even a few city doctors had the privilege of visiting Bali Island, South Africa, Greece and Dubai at the expense of these companies. The council has taken serious note of these unethical practices and has approved the new code of ethics for the doctors, said Dr BS Aulakh, Head, Urology and Transplant, DMCH, and executive member of the MCI to The Tribune today. According to the new code of ethics, no medical practitioners shall accept any gift from any pharmaceutical or allied healthcare industry and their sales people or representatives. Further no medical practitioner shall accept any travel facility inside or outside the country, including the rail, air, ship, cruise tickets and paid vacations from any pharmaceutical companies for self or their family members for vacation or for attending conferences, seminars, workshops, CME programmes as a delegate. The MCI has further prohibited the acceptance of any hospitality individually like hotel accommodation for self and family members. It has taken a serious note of accepting cash or monetary grants from pharmaceuticals and has directed that funding for medical research and study can be only received through approved institutions by modalities laid down by law / guidelines adopted by such institutions in a transparent manner. It shall always be fully disclosed. The MCI has further made it obligatory that the medical practitioners shall not comprise the professional autonomy and freedom of the medical institutions. The senior doctors have welcomed the new code of ethics. Dr LS Chawla, founder Vice - Chancellor of Baba Farid University of Health Sciences, said this was a welcome step and genuine research should be welcome and it should be authorised by a proper authority. He emphasised that the unethical practices should be stopped with strong hands. Dr Gurinder Singh Grewal, member, Punjab Medical Council, while welcoming the MCI decision said the spirit of the code was yet to be achieved. Pharmaceutical companies were still offering gifts and organising CMEs. But unfortunately nobody was coming forward to complain.

Vet varsity teachers protest re-employment of professor
Ludhiana, March 9 The post of university librarian was an administrative post involving finances with drawing and disbursing powers. The decision of the university was very much against the norms of appointment of employees on contract basis issued by the Government of Punjab and terms and conditions formulated by GADVASU itself. A professor of Animal Breeding in the department of animal genetics and breeding at GADVASU, retired on February 28, and was re-employed after three days on March 4 on the same post on contract basis at a fixed salary of Rs 55,000 per month for one year. Taking strong exception to this development, the executive committee of the GADVASU Teachers Association held an emergency meeting on March 5 and submitted a representation to the vice-chancellor and had also sent the same to the Governor of Punjab and chancellor of GADVASU and Chief Minister of Punjab, mentioning various irregularities committed in the contractual appointment of the ex-professor. Dr HS Sandhu and Dr SS Randhawa, president and secretary of GADVASU Teachers Association, alleged that as per the GADVASU Act and statutes any person appointed on contract or ad hoc basis could not hold any administrative post and no financial powers could be delegated to him. The post of librarian was a technical job requiring MLib or IT qualifications, but in the present case these were ignored. As per the university record, there was no scarcity of professors in the department of animal breeding and genetics for which the contract appointment has been made. The teachers referred to earlier arbitrary appointments adding that in 2008, the director of extension education was re-employed for two years on similar conditions citing lack of competent persons in GADVASU.

Excise dept accused of harassing architects’ firm
Ludhiana, March 9 In a statement issued here, Ranjodh Singh and Zafar Chaudhary, representatives of Habitat Architects, claimed their firm was considered the highest taxpayer among architects in the state. “Despite this the excise department deliberately harassed us”, they added. “Due to some officials who wanted to settle personal scores, false information was circulated that the excise department had confiscated computers at the Habitat Architects office. However, no such computers were confiscated”, Ranjodh asserted. Accusing department officials of putting pressure on the architects, he alleged," It appears certain department officials are trying to arm-twist the firms into designing their personal residences. We are already designing the home of a top department official in South City." The architects’ representatives were particularly miffed at the excise department's action of conducting a search at the architects’ homes. "Surprisingly, the excise officials conducted a search at the architects’ houses when the latter were not present there. Their family members were asked irrelevant questions that had nothing to do with collecting taxes. One of the department officials even misbehaved with employees of the architects”, they alleged.

Tax on captive power generation Tribune News Service
Ludhiana, March 9 The All-Industries and Trade Forum met Harish Rai Dhanda, parliamentary secretary, and took up the issue of levying tax on the power generated by the generator sets in Punjab. On March 7, a delegation of the All-Industries and Trade Forum had met Harish Rai Dhanda and explained them that how the bureaucracy reverted the ministry’s decision. In the original report of the Sukhbir-Kalia resource mobilisation committee it was suggested to impose a levy of 5 per cent on captive power generated in Punjab (other then the power generated by the generators) But, when the notification was issued it stated “the levy will be imposed on the captive power generated in Punjab (other then the power generated by generators for the domestic use)”. “The words “for domestic use” have put the entire industry in quandary as it will spell its doom and the notification will prove costly if 5 per cent tax is levied on the captive power generation. Due to power shortage in the state, it is not possible to levy such a tax,” said Jindal. Bhamra said Dhanda had explained the entire case to Sukhbir Singh Badal, who has promised to immediately rollback the notification.
