The Raikot police today suspended two cops for allegedly thrashing the driver of District Food Supply Controller Rakesh Bhaskar. The cops have been identified as Joraver Singh and Keval Singh, both constables.

The incident took place on Thursday evening when Avtar Singh, driver of Rakesh Bhaskar, was allegedly thrashed by the cops following an argument at a check post near Raikot.

The District Food Supply Controller had visited Raikot to check the food samples. Sources said Avtar was reportedly returning to the city, to take some documents from Bhaskar’s house, when he was stopped at a police check post.

According to the driver, he told the cops about the emergency and requested them to let him go. Avtar alleged that instead of allowing him to leave, the cops stopped him and asked him to show the documents for installing blue bacon atop the vehicle.

The police sources said this led to an argument following which the cops allegedly thrashed the driver, who reportedly fell unconscious. The cops impounded the vehicle and parked it in front of the Raikot police station.

When the driver failed to return, Bhaskar decided to visit the house to fetch the documents. The police sources said Bhaskar spotted his driver lying on the road and reportedly rushed him to hospital.

Bhaskar immediately brought the matter to the notice of senior police officials who expressed regret over the incident and suspended the two cops who had reportedly thrashed the driver.

Frequent outages in addition to scheduled power cuts have become a nightmare for domestic consumers in rural as well as urban areas of Ludhiana. The Powercom is imposing three to four-hour cuts on the domestic sector, but consumers are suffering more on account of unattended complaints.

Contrary to the claims of Powercom, the nodal complaint centre at Janta Nagar has failed to deal with queries of people. The call centre set up at the centre, which caters to five major

districts of the state and has consumer-friendly software, is unable to address queries.

“The staff at the call centre does not know about the reason behind the suspended power supply. They do not even give a complaint number, leaving consumers to grapple with the problem at their own level even in the wee hours,” SD Sharma, a resident of Civil Lines, stated.

Sukhminder, a resident of Durgapuri, said power supply was disrupted at 11 pm and the complaint centre had no satisfactory reply. “My mother is not well and her condition deteriorated as fans also stopped working after the inverter battery was exhausted. I tried calling the SDO, but he did not respond to the call,” he said, adding that power supply in the area had not been restored even after 10 hours.

A salesman at a jewellery store allegedly committed fraud of Rs 7.5 lakh by selling substandard gold to customers. The matter came to light last evening when buyers created a scene outside the jewellery store located on the College Road.

The police registered a case against Sandeep Kumar following the complaint of Vivek Dhir, owner of the jewellery store, that the accused had embezzled nearly 40 tolas of gold. The SHO, Maninder Bedi, said the accused used to commit fraud during the making of ornaments.

Dhir said his suspicion rose when customers started complaining about the quality of gold.

Buyers alleged that the salesman sold them gold chains, saying that these were 24 carat, but they later learnt that these were for 18 carat only. Some buyers said the chains weighed less.

“He told me that my chain weighed around two tolas, but when I got it checked from another jeweller, it weighed barely a tola,” a customer stated.

The accused is on the run.

Dogs, especially pups, are being “killed” by some mentally disturbed persons near Hambran road. Residents have raised concern over cruelty against animals who are being killed brutally.

The first incident took place on June 22 when some passersby found the carcass of a dog on a vacant plot. “Pups are now being killed. The body of a pup was found yesterday with its neck slit. Earlier, eyes of a pup had been gouged out. It is a barbaric act,” said Saurabh Sharma, who visits the upcoming Sai Temple, in the vicinity of which the dogs are found killed.

So far, six dogs have been killed. Ashok Kareer, another devotee, said this was being done in vacant plots near the temple itself. “The area is isolated and construction is under way at several places. We suspect that the dogs are being killed by someone who is mentally disturbed. We had questioned some labourers, but nobody has been able to provide any information,” he stated.

Ajay Jain, president of the People for Animals, said: “It is shocking. No one has approached us so far. We will seek police help.”

“If Gandhi were alive today, he would have been in jail standing along tribesmen and supporting their cause,” felt human rights activists Himanshu Kumar from Dantewada, Chhattisgarh.

Himanshu (45), who is on a tour of Punjab, Rajasthan, Gujarat and Maharashtra on a bicycle, reached the city today.

Supporting the cause of tribesmen, Himanshu, whose father Prakash Kumar was part of the Quit India Movement, said the sacrifices of freedom fighters had gone waste as democracy had failed to live up to the expectations of people.

“Democracy is for the people, by the people and of the people but it had now been limited to only few. Only those in power are enjoying while others are suffering at their hands,” he lamented.

Himanshu ran an ashram at Dantewada to restore the faith of tribesmen in peace and justice. He had been working towards women empowerment, education and community health. However, his ashram was razed by the authorities recently.

“The government is selling farmland to corporates, razing their structures for development but a country cannot progress by making its own citizens unhappy.”

Many of his projects were in collaboration with UNICEF and government. “I do not support the Naxalite movement. All I want is to work for the cause of tribesmen,” he adds.

“Economic justice should be given to all. Those is power should think beyond luxurious living. People should gear up and work towards making the country a happier place,” he added.

Democracy is the solution to every problem but it should be practiced in its true spirit, he said.

“As Gandhi said weaker section will be taken care of in the democracy but in reality it is not practised in the real sense of the word,” he added.

In his message to the masses, he said equality and justice were the key to success of any community and nation at large.

Sukhwinder Kaur of Agwar Mai Jeena area has accused a youth leader of the SAD of extorting the money. The youth has been identified as Varinderpal Singh, alias Pali of ward No. 17, who claims himself to be a youth leader of the SAD and a close associate Kamaljit Singh Malla (son of former Jagraon MLA Bhag Singh Malla). Sukhwinder alleged that the youth had extorted a huge amount from her in the name of settling her case in the Jagraon city police station. Pali has contested the last election of the local municipal council from the SAD ticket.

In her complaint to SSP Ludhiana (Rural), Harinder Singh Chahal, Sukhwinder Kaur alleged that a few persons had lodged frivolous complaints against her for the recovery of money at the police station. Meanwhile, Pali approached her and offered to file complaints pending her for a consideration to be paid to the SHO Jagraon city and his reader. He demanded Rs 10,000 from her. He even threatened to implicate her in some case if the amount is not paid to them (Policemen). Afraid of the police, she paid the amount to him but even after that the policemen did not stop bothering her.

She told the SSP that Pali was now threatening her. When contacted, Varinder Singh Pali pleaded innocence. He said he himself would lodge a complaint against the woman who was trying to blackmail him.

The SSP, however, maintained that the contents of the complaint lodged by Sukhwinder Kaur was being probed and if anybody is found guilty in extorting money from her in the name of police, he would not be spared. The sources, however, revealed that the local SAD leaders are trying their best to hush up the case and save Pali. The sources also revealed that Pali was trying to instigate certain persons to lodge a complaint against Sukhwinder Kaur to prove himself not guilty.

The local traders’ union has decided to put up their shutters in support of the All-India bandh call given by the Opposition on July 5. Pritam Singh Jaggi, senior vice-president, All traders’ union, said the union would stage a bandh against the price rise of the petroleum products and the LPG.

“It has become difficult for the common man to make even both ends meet. The poor men, reeling under the pressure of inflation, are either forced to end up their lives abruptly or keep on pulling one way or the other”, he added.

The union members blamed the present government, which has failed to find any concrete solution to the existing economic and political crisis. They urged the leaders to unite and form a common front to fight for their goals and objectives. “The common man has been facing unprecedented price rise in the country. He cannot simply exist in such telling conditions. There is no check on the price rise, as the decisions are taken in the most arbitrary manner, without giving least consideration to the majority section of society who shall be adversely affected and that too in a big way”, said Jandeep Kaushal.

Meanwhile, the state unit of the SAD’s beopar wing has decided to support the call for the All-India bandh on July 5 against the increasing prices of the petroleum products. Madan Lal Bagga, president of the Punjab unit of the wing, criticised the government for increasing the prices of petrol, diesel and kerosene.

“Traders are already passing through the bad phase and now the increasing prices have further added to their woes. In addition to this the prices of essential commodities are also skyrocketing. We will be observing complete bandh on July 5,” added Bagga.

The base rate system, which aims at introducing transparency in lending operations, has replaced the existing BPLR from July 1. Under this new system, the borrowers will be charged interest rates over the base rate depending on the credit profile. The final lending rate shall be determined by the overall costs of the bank, including cost of deposits, administrative costs, profit margins and cost of parking funds with the RBI in the form of the cash, reserve ratio and SLR.

The RBI has introduced the new lending rate system or the base rate to ensure that large borrowers don’t bargain for cheaper rates from banks thereby distorting their asset liability management. Following these norms, the practice by the banks to lend money to blue chip corporate houses below published base rate will come to halt. This base rate regime is unlikely to upset credit demand and hurt profitability and margins of the banks.

The existence and growth of the micro, small and medium enterprise is a salient component of the industrial structure in India. This sector is one of the vital cogs in this India’s wheels of progress. The contribution of this sector in export market is more than 40 per cent. In the present economic scenario, the competition and risk weightage among small and large industrial units is same. MSMEs provide adequate collateral and thus their borrowings are quite safe for the banks.

Under this new system, MSMEs will no longer have to subsidize the prime corporate borrowers in charging differential rate of interest, as hitherto was the practice with the banks. The range between the best rate and the highest rate of interest of banks is likely to narrow down considerably. Moreover, this will reduce the gap in prime lending rates of public and private sector banks.

In order to achieve the purpose of transparency, it is strongly urged that the RBI should announce special incentive in the form of interest subvention for the MSME Sector. This support is indeed required to beat the challenge and maintain growth trajectory and enable the MSME sector to survive in local and global markets in the present hostile economic scenario,” said Avtar Singh, Chamber of Industrial and Commercial Undertakings.”

For most of the kids, the fun is over. With summer vacations coming to an end, children could be seen wearing a solemn look. With a majority of schools re-opening on Monday, parents have heaved a sigh of relief.

“I am worried, as I did not touch my books even once during the summer break and now have no idea from where to begin. My homework, too, is incomplete,” said a worried kid.

“There were no worries, no tensions, no hustle and bustle in the morning. I really enjoyed watching movies, having breakfast at will and roaming around with friends,” said another student.

“Oh! Back to the pavilion once again! I really enjoyed my holidays, as I had finished my homework on time. I visited my grandparents. What a fun it was. There were no restrictions,” said another kid.

“Some schools have stopped giving assignments and holiday homework. It is not a good practice, as it can make their mind nothing less than a devil’s workshop,” said mother of a student.

“Even we as teachers find it difficult to begin with, but once the routine is set, who has the time to think about the past,”opined a school teacher.

The Offset Printers’ Association launched a “Print Yatra” today. The yatra will cover the length and breadth of the entire region to spread the message of brotherhood and to mobilise the fellow printers to visit the “Biggest Print Event of the Year” in Ludhiana on October 23, 24 and 25.

Kamal Chopra, general secretary of the association, said the purpose of the yatra was not only the promotion of “PrintArt 2010”-the biggest event of the year in India, but to invite the printers to work jointly for the development of the trade and industry and to form associations.

Chopra said printing was the second biggest industry in the world, but due to the lack of education and introvert habits, it remained an unorganised sector in India.

Though printing press exists in 5,161 towns and 602 districts in India, the actual number of printing units and families dependent upon this trade is not practically known.

“The yatra aims at educating entrepreneurs engaged in the trade and understanding latest developments and regulations. We are inviting traders to form associations to have better networking throughout the region,” Chopra added.

The “Print Yatra” was flagged off by KushL Jain, vice-president of the association. He said, “Our mission is clear and constructive for the overall development of the small and micro industry of India.”

Parvesh Jagga, PRO of the association, said, the yatra would reach Hoshiarpur this afternoon and from there it would move to Gurdaspur and Pathankot.

“On July 4, the yatra will leave for Jammu. In the first leg, we are going to cover four cities then in the second leg, we will visit Himachal Pardesh. Thereafter, we are planning to visit Haryana, Chandigarh and the remaining parts of Punjab. Considering it a social cause, the association would bear the expenses, Jagga said.

Raikot, July 3
Certain pensioners of Brahampur village, near here, have accused the husband of village sarpanch of usurping their pension funds sent by the central government in connivance with his wife.

The villagers, between the age group of 60 to 80 years, said they had regularly been receiving the pension of the Punjab government.

However, the pension issued by the central government under the Indira Gandhi National Old Age Pension Scheme was not reaching them ever since the distribution of pension was handed over to the sarpanch, they alleged.

Earlier, the pension was directly deposited into the accounts of the beneficiaries.

The aggrieved pensioners, including Harbans Kaur, Maya, Laajwanti, Jangir Kaur, Ismail Khan, Surjit Kaur, Surjit Singh and others, said whenever they asked former sarpanch Ranjit Singh, alias Rana, the husband of sarpanch Karamjit Kaur, about their pension, they were told that the pension from the central government had not arrived.

They alleged that Ranjit was handling the day-to-day affairs of the village.

When the complainants approached the children development project officer, Pakhowal — the pension was routed by the official — to their utter dismay they learned that pension was being forwarded regularly to the sarpanch.

Investigations revealed that there were 27 pensioners in the village and only those who were close to the former sarpanch were getting the pension regularly.

When Rana realised that villagers had learned the truth, he got three demand drafts made from the Burundi branch of Punjab and Sindh Bank in favour of the district social security officer (DSSO), Ludhiana, and returned the pension.

He paid Rs 15,000 through DD No. 196772 (issued on June 14), Rs 8,200 through DD No. 196776 (June 19) and Rs 1,200 through DD No. 196793 (June 28).

The villagers claimed that though seven aides of the former sarpanch were getting pension, the beneficiaries belonging to the opposite party were not getting it, as he was not completing the formalities for its release.

Pakhowal CDPO Harjinder Kaur confirmed that the former sarpanch had embezzled pension funds and said a detailed report had been sent to higher officials, who have forwarded it to the district development panchayat officer, Ludhiana, seeking appropriate action.

She said the former sarpanch was deliberately not completing the requisite formalities of villagers to make them eligible for pension.

She even accused the former sarpanch of receiving pensions of persons who were already dead.

Ranjit Singh, however, denied the allegations of embezzlement of pension funds. He, however, said he had returned the pension of those applicants who had never approached him for pension.

He had no answer to the reason why pensioners were getting regular state pension but not the one sent by the central government.

He said they never announced the arrival of pension through the village public address system (gurdwara or temple).

Balbir Singh, member of the district advisory committee, social security, and village resident, has sought stringent action against the sarpanch and her husband.

“With an increase in the number of tobacco users, oral cancers are on the rise,” said Dr Pradeep Sharma, dental surgeon, Civil Hospital, Ludhiana.

Under the ongoing dental fortnight at the Civil Hospital, Dr Sharma urged tobacco users to give up the bad habit.

The habit of keeping quid in one particular place of the oral cavity over a prolonged span of time results in pre-cancerous lesions or sometimes even direct cancers.

The doctor said the kind of abuse over a period of 10 years or so invariably resulted in cancer in most of the susceptible patients.

Like tobacco, alcohol can also cause cancer.

Chronic nutritional deficiencies associated with the use of alcohol, direct irritation of the oral mucosa, dehydrating effect of alcohol, its action as solvent of carcinogens in smokers and associated changes in gut flora also cause cancers.

Pipe or beedi smoking introduces one additional factor-direct heat.

Human Papi lloma virus, 16 and 18 infection also cause oral and cervical cancers.

Dr Sharma added that patients would be examined and treated for oral cancers during the dental fortnight. Also, they would be educated against the ill-effects of tobacco chewing, the doctor said.

Mullanpur Dakha, July 3
The local police on the recommendations of the GLADA’s chief administrator has booked seven persons, including a women for carving out an illegal colony at Dakha village. GLADA took this decision on the basis of an inquiry conducted by Karnail Singh, Assistant Engineer, vide memo No. 4179F/453/2010 dated May 31, 2010.

Those booked under Sections 420 of the IPC and 2(1), 3(1), 5(1). 6, 9, 14(1), 15, 18, 21, 26 of the Punjab Apartment and Property Act 1995 are Kudrat Deep Singh of Tharike village, Nachhatar Lal of BRS Nagar, Neelam Rani and Resham Jit Singh of Rajguru Nagar, Pardeep Kumar of Ludhiana, Dheeraj Kumar and Gopal Singh of Dakha.

These accused had carved out an illegal colony at Dakha village in 1996 and sold the plots to a large number of people on the basis of tall promises of providing the state-of-art facilities.

Instead of providing these facilities, the developers started selling the parks of the colony besides encroaching upon the roads. Irritated buyers were left with no alternative other than lodging a complaint with the Chief Administrator of GLADA.

Kishan Dev, in charge of the economic offence wing of the Jagraon police, also conducted an inquiry in this case.

He had also indicted the accused under various sections for carving out an illegal colony.

Mullanpur Dakha happens to be a satellite town of Ludhiana and is hardly 10 km away from Westend Mall, the end point of Ludhiana on the Ferozepur Road. Besides being so close to Ludhiana it is a peaceful area.

Ludhianvis have the passion of buying plots in this area for constructing houses here.

Dozens of new colonies, including Vipul World, Golf Link Colony and Royal Farms are coming up in the periphery of Mullanpur Dakha. Many of the developers of these colonies are multinational companies who promise to provide state-of- the-art facilities to the buyers.

A few small players, taking advantage of the on-going development work in the area, are selling plots in the unauthorised colonies to unsuspecting customers.

Last year, Royal Farms, one of the colonies on the Ferozepur Road towards Jagraon, had also carved out an illegal colony. GLADA immediately swung into action and placed a board warning people that the colony was illegal.

But, till then, the owners had sold most of the plots. No case was registered against the offenders though the owners of the colony had defaced the board and covered it with a gunny bag.
