Chawla seeks more funds from Centre for health services
Morinda, December 2 Started a year ago, the 20 jan aushadhi and generic drug centres are a great help for the poor, but continue to face medicines and staff crunch, Chawla said. “This is a project funded by the Union Government. The department of pharmaceuticals, Government of India, should provide us with an adequate medicine supply. The centres are being managed in best possible way,” Chawla claimed Managing director, Punjab Health Systems Corporation (PHSC) Raji P Srivastava said the centres located in Punjab were the most functional in entire country. Chawla said the state had devised a new mechanism of coordinating with these centres. A weekly view of stock was being taken to ensure regular updates. The department has taken up task of upgrading the 11 health centres across the state, including those at Adampur, Morinda, Abohar, Mohali, Ludhiana, Patti, Batala, Gurdaspur, Bathinda Patiala and Pathankot. Chawla said the super speciality hospitals, being set up at Bathinda and Mohali on public-private partnership mode, will go a long way in ensuring treatment for the cancer patients. “Usually governments give land to the private players and direct them to serve five per cent patients on charity basis, which never happens. We have gone a step ahead and asked for five per cent share in income so that the funds collected can be used to strengthen health services in state besides providing major relief to cancer patients,” she added. |

Victim Compensation Scheme
Chandigarh, December 2 Notice was also issued to the central ministry of home affairs on the petition filed in the public interest by advocate HC Arora. Quoting the rules, Arora said: “Every state government in coordination with the central government shall prepare a scheme for providing funds for the purpose of compensation to the victims or their dependants who have suffered loss or injury as a result of the crime and who require rehabilitation.” The petitioner, appearing in person, contended while the UT administration had sent the scheme to the home ministry for approval and for making budgetary provisions, the Punjab and Haryana governments had failed to finalize their schemes so far. This was despite a lapse of over 11 months from the date the new statutory provisions came into force, the petitioner added.

Posts of asst sub-inspector
Chandigarh, December 2 The Bench headed by Justice MM Kumar also reserved the orders on the petition for the final decision. Following the allegations of the leakage of the question paper, the UT Inspector General of Police on March 7, 2008, had annulled the written test and interview. A decision to hold the written test afresh was also taken. The Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) later set the decision aside on September 26, 2008. Directions were also issued to the UT Home Secretary to review the selection procedure. CAT had also issued directions against the declaration of the result till the Home Secretary had gone through the entire issue. It was also directed that the Home Secretary was at liberty to call on record evidence for adjudication. The UT administration, subsequently, challenged the order of CAT. The UT administration, meanwhile, told the high court the practical impossibility of segregating individual tainted candidates from untainted ones when the selection was corrupted at the very source.
