Armed youths
rob sarpanch
of Rs 29 lakh
Ludhiana, May 13 The incident took place at about 3 this afternoon when the victim, identified as Manjit Singh, 'sarpanch' of Seehra village, was riding in his Chevrolet Optra car from Seehra to Bajra village after receiving the ‘token amount’ of Rs 29 lakh for sale of his land. Narrating the incident, Manjit said he was sitting on the car’s rear seat while his driver, Darshan Singh, was on the wheels when three young men in a light blue Suzuki Zen car began tailing them. According Darshan, one of the youths waved a gun at him and indicated at him to stop the vehicle. However, instead of slowing down, Darshan said he stepped on the gas and tried to speed away. “The robbers kept on chasing us for three kilometres. The road was deserted at that point of time”, he added. In the process Darshan lost control over the car and it swerved into a field. The robbers, who were armed with baseball bats, swords and pistols, alighted from their vehicle and broke the front windshield of Manjit's car with a bat. They then ordered Manjit and his driver to step out of the car. Later one of the youths fired a shot at Manjit’s legs, who got frightened and handed over a kitbag containing the money to the robbers. Manjit said the three youths were speaking chaste Punjabi. “They took my mobile phone along with them before feeing the scene”, he added. Manjit said he then called up the cops on a cellphone borrowed from a commuter. A police team soon arrived at the scene. DCP Parmod Ban said an investigation had been launched and the suspects would be apprehended soon. Sources said the police is questioning the man from whom Manjit received the ‘token amount’ of money for the land sale. "It’s definitely the handiwork of someone who knew Manjit was carrying such a large amount cash. Otherwise who could have known he was having lakhs of rupees in his car?’’ asked a police official.

Doraha, May 13 All children are, however, safe and no causality has been reported. The van of Green Grove Public School was on its way to the school when the driver, Surinder Singh, in his attempt to overtake a vehicle, reportedly lost control over the vehicle and the mishap took place. Of the 38 children travelling in the bus, around 19 sustained injuries and were rushed to a nearby hospital immediately. According to a hospital employee, “Two children have been discharged from the hospital, while the rest are undergoing treatment.” “A Class VIII student, who had received a head injury, was referred to the CMC, Ludhiana,” said DSP Payal Rattan Singh Brar. The driver of the van has been booked for negligence. As per the ruling of the court, school bus drivers are supposed to follow the speed limit strictly and in no case it can be more than 60 kms/hr, but in this particular case, the driver was running at the speed of 75 kms/hr. According to eye witnesses, the driver was aware of the fact that a mishap could take place, but still he did not stop the vehicle which was overloaded with schoolkids,” he added. The management, principal and staff of the school, however, rushed to the spot on learning about the accident. “All children were sent home, except two, who had sustained minor fractures. Parents heaved a sigh of relief on finding their children safe and sound. The situation is under control,” the principal added. “The road, where the accident occurred, is narrow. The tempo driver applied sudden brakes, failing which the van driver could not make a correct judgement at the time and the mishap took place,” she reiterated. |

School buses go off road today
Ludhiana, May 13 The district transport office (DTO) has reportedly asked the School Van Operators Association, Ludhiana to "arrange" at least 100 vans for to take devotees to Fatehgarh Sahib tomorrow to attend the ‘Fateh Diwas’ celebrations. Members of the association, apparently left with no choice, have agreed to send at least 60 to 70 vehicles to take people from the city. According to sources, van drivers are perturbed threatened us but in case we refuse they may begin ‘challaning’ (imposing traffic fines on) vehicles or even impound them in retribution", said one of the drivers, adding about 10-15 vans will be going to Fatehgarh from each school.Talking to The Tribune, Anjali Sharma, mother of a school student, said parents’ schedules are upset due such arbitrary decisions by officials. “Being a working woman it’s difficult for me to drop my child at school and later pick him up”, she said. "My husband is working in Panchkula and I’ve to manage everything on my own. Such official orders create problems for us. Now I’ll have to take half day's leave tomorrow to take my child to his school and then collect him afterwards", she added. District Transport Officer Ashwani Sharma, however, denied he had approved any such order. “No school van or bus driver has been asked to provide his vehicle for the trip to Fatehgarh”, he added. Van drivers left with no choice
An office bearer of the School Van Operator Association, Ludhiana said drivers of school buses and vans had no option but to send their vehicles to Fatehgarh. "The district transport office wanted at least 100 vehicles for the trip but only 60 to 70 vans could be arranged from all the major schools. If we don’t provide the vehicles we may face the wrath of the transport department, hence we have been forced to oblige it. As if this was not enough, parents are now cribbing and accusing us of disturbing their schedules", he said. |

Unnatural ripening of fruits goes unchecked
Ludhiana, May 13 The nonchalance on part of the department of health and family welfare to carry out raids in the main mandis of fruits and vegetables in the city has encouraged the wholesalers as well as retailers to continue with the malpractice. Despite the ban imposed on the sale of calcium carbide, the chemical is easily available in the markets, as the law-enforcing authorities have failed to check its sale. The chemical releases acetylene gas that results in overnight ripening of unripened fruits like mango, banana and papaya. Ludhiana, being the second largest ripe banana market in North India, is supplying bananas worth 15-20 lakh to various parts of the state, which is why the dealers, in order to meet the demand, resort to the shortcut of chemical ripening the bananas. The samples of bananas taken by the department of health and family welfare last year had failed in the laboratory tests. Cases were registered against fruit dealers, but owing to the delay in prosecution in the court of law, the offenders after getting bail are back to their previous practice. A majority of the dealers in the main sabzi mandi in Salem Tabri are openly carrying out the process of ripening of fruits with the banned chemical. The dealers had erected small shelters where the process of ripening bananas, mangoes and papayas with the help of the banned chemical is carried out every day. This process is even carried out in houses of migrant labourers in their residential colonies.

City on air map
Sahnewal (Ludhiana), May 13 While both Tewari and junior Badal were on board the flight, along with MPs and other senior party leaders, cavalcades of motor vehicles, all with stickers and their respective party flags, kept shuttling between the city and Sahnewal carrying supporters and later the VIPs for a show of strength outside the airport. Dozens of luxury cars were parked inside the airport parking, almost all of them with red beacons atop them, and just outside the airport, the national highway (GT Road) looked like a sea of vehicles and people on both sides of the road. A little before the flight was to arrive, there was a traffic jam on the highway and it became rather impossible to take the turn for entry to the airport.There was elaborate police arrangement at the entry gate of the airport and only those persons were permitted to enter who figured on the lists provided by both the parties to police officials. However, several Congress leaders were seen complaining that the ruling party had managed to get entry for a large number of its activists inside the airport whereas many of the Congress functionaries were left high and dry. A former minister and a Congress leader had a tiff with police personnel over parking of his car and hot words were exchanged from both sides. As the aircraft landed at the runway, which was some 35 minutes behind schedule, there was virtually free for all as each and every Akali Dal worker scrambled to get noticed by the Deputy Chief Minister while the Congress leaders wanted to get close to Tewari and shake hands with him. Both the SAD and the Congress had put up pandals outside the airport, along the GT Road, where speeches were made by the local party functionaries and later senior leaders also made brief appearances and addressed the workers. Contrary to common belief that during the 75 minutes of the maiden flight between the national capital and the industrial hub of the state, uneasy tension would have prevailed in the aircraft due to presence of senior leaders of the traditional rivals, there was no uneasiness or tension. Despite aggressive postures having been adopted, more by the local supporters of SAD and the Congress over the issue of taking credit, both Tewari and Sukhbir acknowledged that they had spoken to each other in the VIP lounge at the Delhi airport and thereafter inside the aircraft on burning issues of Punjab. As per officials at the airport, both the inward and outward flights today were near full. More than a dozen passengers, in addition to political leaders, travelled on Delhi-Ludhiana flight while the return flight had 37 passengers. Heat and Dust Even as the day was extremely hot, the scorching heat and clouds of dust raised by hundreds of vehicles on the GT Road failed to dampen the enthusiasm of supporters

Tiwari said he would forward the case to the MC commissioner. Varun Kumar, a Congress party leader, brought up the matter of “eve teasers” who were allegedly harassing students of Khalsa College and morning walkers in Rakh Bagh. Tiwari said he would forward the complaint to the police commissioner. ‘DC has limited powers’When members of the grievances committee asked the DC to take strong action against the DFSC for being absent, Tiwari said he could not do anything except issuing a show cause. “A DC cannot transfer anybody except patwaris. ‘And in case of ‘patwaris’ too, we all know what pressures are exerted,’’ he remarked as the entire house broke into guffaws. Elusive public representatives
Except two MLAs including Ishar Singh from the Koom Kalan segment and Gurdeep Singh Bhaini from
Jagraon, none of the public representatives out of the rest dozen segments were present. The two MPs including Manish Tewari and Sukhdev Singh Libra were also absent.

Erratic power schedules may cost consumers dear
Ludhiana, May 13 Most of the time consumers remain uninformed about the decisions taken by PSPC as it usually does not issue any public notification. However, changes in weekly offs for power saving and duration of power cuts is updated on the corporation’s website. "The frequent changes in schedule are due to mismanagement in the corporation. Information regarding these changes in only available on the PSPC website but only 20 per cent of industrial units have Internet access. The penalty for infringement of schedules and peak loads is very high. It’s the corporation’s duty to notify consumers beforehand," said BK Jindal, regional chairman of the Federation of Associations of Small Industries of India (FASII). On May 5 the weekly off for power saving was reduced from 58 to 34 hours. Then again, on May 7, the weekly off for furnaces and ‘category III’ units was cut down to 48 hours and from May 10 the weekly off for ‘category II’ units was increased from 34 to 48 hours. Not all industrial consumers have Internet access and information on PSPC’s frequent changes in power cut schedules fail to reach the consumers. Harmohinder Singh, an industrialist said, "I have Internet at my factory but it’s not possible to check the PSPC site everyday to see if any new notification has been issued by the corporation. It’s the latter’s duty to inform its consumers”. "In case we fail to comply with the changes made by PSPC in power schedules we will be fined heavily. The corporation should inform consumers about any changes. It can do it through the electronic or print media, as no one accesses its website every day," said another industrialist, Keshav Gupta.

Garment makers rue delay in payments
Ludhiana, May 13 A meeting of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Garments Manufacturers Association of Ludhiana was held in this regard. Members of the association said they had sent written requests to the corporate stores to release their outstanding payments. They had also paid frequent visits to the offices of some customers, but to no avail. Irked over the false promises of corporate stores, members initiated action under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instrument Act. Though some of the units started receiving payments, there were many which were yet to receive their dues. A number of pleas have gone unheeded. These corporates pick one unit, squeeze it and then hop on to the other unit to exhaust its limited capital resources. Members resolved to deal with them firmly and decisively. The general body said if corporates did not release their payments immediately, they would report the matter to the MSME Ministry under Section 420/406 after taking the local government/administration into confidence. Ajit Lakra, member of the Core Committee, said, “Most of the units work in cooperation with chain stores to help them maintain their supply lines for summer wear. However, the association will closely watch these chain stores as to how they clear their outstanding payments in the coming days. Dinesh Gupta, general secretary of the association, said MSMEs in Ludhiana should remain vigilant in their dealings with chain stores. He further stressed that all MSMEs should avail benefits as provided under the MSME Development Act, 2006. According to the Act, all corporate buyers are legally bound to make payments of MSMEs within 45 days on receipt of goods, failing which interest on the outstanding amount compounded on a monthly basis will have to be borne by the buyer. The interest will be disallowed at the hands of the buyer under the Income Tax Act.

No chemicals used for a long time. Blue: In conversion. No chemicals used. The produce is from farms in conversion for organic certification. Yellow: Natural. Farmed naturally without a history of chemical use. Certification process not yet started. Many of the processed foods are also in this category.

The matter, however, came to light when the family members of the victim complained against the college authorities for negligence. Narrating the incident, college students said the incident took place in the wee hours on May 8, when Ramandeep stepped out of the hostel and was bitten by a snake.
