Hospital back to old ways after minister’s visit
Ludhiana, November 11 While the hospital premises were given a spic and span look during the minister’s visit late yesterday evening, things were back to square one today morning. A woman suffering from TB was moved to the female general ward, posing a threat to other patients undergoing treatment there. “Her sputum had tested negative for TB hence we had allowed her to share the ward with other patients”, the hospital’s senior medical officer, Dr US Sooch, claimed. Health experts said sputum of TB patients test negative soon after they are administered antibiotics, but that does not mean they cannot spread infection.Meanwhile, other patients expressed their resentment over the woman sharing the ward with them. ‘‘We came here to get treated, not to catch infectious diseases,’’ said a patient when she learnt about the matter. The TB patient, too, had her own tale of woes to narrate to The Tribune team. “I’m buying two injections costing Rs 50 from outside the hospital adding after the staff told me they were not out of stock”. Cleanliness and attendance of doctors/nursing staff just before Chawla’s visit was indeed a pleasant surprise for the indoor patients who were unable to absorb the frantic cleaning of the corridors and washrooms. However the happiness of the patients and their attendants was shortlived as soon after the minister left the indifferent attitude of the hospital staff was back in place. Unable to hold back her anger Nanki, attendant of a patient, said: "Mosquitoes and mice are a nonstop trouble for the patients and the nurses when apprised of the situation yell at the attendants asking them to go to good/private hospitals to avail facilities. My sister was even refused clean bed sheet in the last ten days and I had no option but get a clean sheet from home”. So much so that the inter operative and postoperative medicines are also unavailable in the hospital. The civil hospital has a monthly collection of Rs 4 to Rs 5 lakh from the OPD fees, medico-legal examination and laboratory investigations and the senior medical officer is entitled to use 40 per cent of this amount for purchasing medicines, necessary equipment and maintenance of the infrastructure. Meanwhile, Sooch claimed that, "Despite spending liberally from the user charges we are unable to purchase complete medicine for all the indoor patients. We try to provide clean bedding to all as recently 250 bedsheets were purchased”. The SMO however denied having ordered for the hospital to be cleaned up before Chawla’s visit. “I got to know about her visit only after she had left the hospital”, he said. I was stationed at the police post inside the hospital till 2004 and since then hospital authorities have failed to provide sufficient nursing staff in both the male and female wards. Doctors take rounds on time but there is only a solitary staff nurse on duty who is running from pillar to post to deal with both paperwork and patients. Patients are thus not being administered their dose of medicine on time. — Harmesh Lal, a head constable, undergoing treatment for jaundice at the Civil Hospital

MC bid to save indicted officials, contractors
Manvinder Singh Tribune News Service
Ludhiana, November 11 The decision to make a fresh appeal on the matter to the local bodies department was taken at a meeting of the core committee chaired by mayor Hakam Singh Giaspura in which all the members took part. There was detailed discussion on the application of officials indicted by MC additional commissioner Kanwalpreet Kaur Brar in her inquiry report on the scam. In the backdrop of the state government’s decision to lodge FIRs against the suspects, the officials had said in the application that as the three indicted contractors - Sunny Gosain, who is the grandson of Punjab assembly deputy speaker Satpal Gosain, Virender Kumar and Kulbir Singh - had already returned the excess payments and the indicted officials were facing administrative action, no further action by the police should be taken against them. Despite of the fact that the enquiry report by Brar had held this nexus responsible for bringing loss to the state exchequer, the officers today asserted that as no loss has been incurred to MC so no action should be taken against them. Surprisingly the members of the core committee, who had been pressing for strict action against the suspects, did a U-turn and unanimously decided to ask the government to review its stand by hearing the pleas of the indicted officials.Sources said as the district police has refused to look into case citing that it is under the ambit of the vigilance bureau so by asking the state government to take decision after listening to the plea of officers the core committee wants to save these affluent contractors and officers indicted in the case. The sources added though many committee members were in favour of action against the corrupt contractors, they were overruled after it was realized this step would not be in the interests of some people. When contacted senior deputy mayor Praveen Bansal said, “It wasn’t a U-turn by us, rather we wanted the government should decide the case on merit”. Refuting accusations that the civic body wanted to save the indicted officials and contractors, he said: “They only want that no injustice should be done to anybody”.

Youth dies in police custody
Ludhiana, Khamano, November 11 Though the police tried to keep the matter under wraps, the incident came to light when a few Dalit organisations staged a dharna in front of the police station today and demanded registration of a criminal case against the guilty cops. Soon the police went into a denial mode and claimed that the victim had allegedly committed suicide. The victim identified as Hardeep Singh (27), a resident of Sarwarpur village, was nabbed last evening in connection with a theft case. Rajpal Singh Gill, the SHO, confirmed that the youth was wanted in the theft case.He was arrested from Barwali at around 4.15 pm, taken to the Khamano police station and detained in a lockup. The police claimed that Hardeep had complained of breathlessness in the evening. He was taken out of the cell and allowed to sit in the open. After spending sometime in open, he requested the cops to allow to him answer the call of the nature. He was reportedly allowed to use the bathroom. As soon as he entered the lavatory, he closed the door from inside. Cops alleged that when the victim did not come out of the lavatory they broke the door open. On entering it, they found the youth hanging from an iron grill of the ventilator. They alleged that the victim used his jeans to strangulate himself. The SHO claimed that he immediately informed his seniors about the incident. Following the incident, Duty Magistrate AK Bansal visited the police station and recorded the statement of victim’s father Kesar Singh. The magistrate ordered a post-mortem examination of the victim to be conducted by a team comprising three doctors from the Khamano civil hospital. The victim was facing charges of committing a theft in a mobile store at Barwali village. The cops alleged that Hardeep along with his accomplices had stolen six mobile phones from the shop. A few cops said the youth committed suicide after his activities were exposed. On being caught, Hardeep had reportedly told the police that his family would be subjected to humiliation because of his activities. Kesar Singh, father of the victim, in his statement to the police had stated that he did not want action to be taken against any police officials in this regard. Mahinder Singh, a BSP leader, staged a protest against the youth’s death in police custody in front of the Khamano civil hospital this morning. He alleged that the police had got the statement signed by the victim’s father after pressurizing him. A large number of cops were posted outside the civil hospital to tackle any untoward incident. Despite repeated attempts PS Umranangal, DIG, was not available for comments. Box: The police has registered an FIR for theft under Sections 457 and 380 of the IPC on November 10, the day the youth died.

Bus commuters to face the heat
Kanchan Vasdev Tribune News Service
Ludhiana, November 11 Local transport officials began impounding large and mini privately run buses run in the evening. The operators were asked to ferry SAD workers and participants from various parts of the district to ensure Sukhbir's rallies at Payal and Mullanpur Dakha were a success.While district transport officer Ashwini Kumar denied any bus had been confiscated, JS Grewal, president of the private bus operators’ union, said they were asked to send their buses to Dana Mandi by today afternoon. ‘‘We were threatened with ‘challans’ (fines) and impounding our buses if we failed to do so. Now we are helpless. We cannot do anything. The innocent commuters from different parts of the district, who come to city every morning to reach their workplace, would suffer as they would have no means of transport. Besides the bus operators will suffer losses as they were being offered only fuel. We’ll have to pay from our own pockets”. The city has 400 private buses that include mini and large ones. Grewal claimed 200 of them had already been impounded. Several operators did not ply their vehicles on the streets fearing these would be impounded and parked them in inner city areas. The private buses were the lifeline of residents in peripheral areas of the city. Hundreds of students, teachers, employees and other people depend on these buses to reach their destinations every morning. In the past also, the private buses have been detained several times for political rallies. This has caused a lot of heartburn among commuters who are stranded on the roads in absence of transport. The operators have been demanding that they should be paid at the rate of Rs 2,500 per bus besides fuel. Kumar, however, vehemently denied the district transport office had impounded any bus. ‘‘It’s not transport officials who have held the buses, but the politicians might be doing so”, he remarked.

Like father like son
Mandi Ahmedgarh, November 11 Residents of the town and surrounding villages want top leaders of the SAD to get the foundation stone of the degree college removed before laying another one at Amragarh tomorrow. “With most of the foundation stones laid by Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Badal in the region, we urge the leaders to either remove the foundation stone or start constructing the college that was announced by senior Badal on April 12, 1979,” said the residents. Accusing successive governments of ignoring long-pending demands of those residing in this area, the residents have urged the SAD and Congress leaders to visit Gandhi school before starting any campaign in future. “The foundation stones of degree college and Lal Bahadur Shastari Vidya Mandir, which were laid by Parkash Singh Badal and late Beant Singh in 1979 and 1992, respectively, will remind the SAD and Congress leaders of their unkempt promises,” Jagjit Singh Jajjie and Naresh Sharma, social activists of the town stated. Irate residents have even threatened to take Congress and SAD leaders to task. Completion of these institutes seemed to be a distant dream, with the authorities having forgotten the same and probably mistaken Ahmedgarh for Amragarh, said the residents. Bimal Kumar Sharma, councillor, and Tarsem Garg, president, CB Welfare Association, said Badal had issued verbal orders for constructing the degree college in the town, but the work never started. The Janta College for Women and Rashtriya Adarash Mahila College are the only women colleges in this region. Beant Singh laid the foundation stone of LBS Vidya Mandir, when he had come to announce the establishment of a subdivision on December 30, 1992. Despite Beant Singh’s promise to release a grant for erecting a new building of Adarsh School, no funds were received. Verbal Orders Badal had issued verbal orders for constructing the degree college in the town in 1979. But, the work never started. The Janta College for Women and Rashtriya Adarash Mahila College are the only women colleges in the region.
