Devinder Attri, SHO, said an FIR in this regard was registered on October 15, 2010. The body of Bholi with severe head injury marks was recovered from a vacant plot near Moti Nagar. “Bholi had divorced her husband about 15 years ago. Sonu was born out of this wedlock. She was in a live-in relationship with Ravi Kumar. Her son, Sonu, was not happy with this relationship. He tried to stop her, but she refused to listen to his pleas. This forced him to commit the heinous crime. According to Sonu, his mother, a drunkard by nature, was also involved in flesh trade racket,” the SHO added. “Sonu decided to eliminate her and for this he took the help of his friend Govinda. Both took Bholi to the vacant plot in Moti Nagar, strangulated her with a dupatta, hit her with bricks and fled away,” the SHO said. He further added that both accused were alcoholics. Sonu had a criminal background and was lodged in the Dakha jail about five years ago. He had also committed a theft in Phillaur.

Potato becomes too hot for farmers to handle
Ludhiana, February 8 As compared to the estimated cost of agricultural and fertilizer inputs for cultivation at ` 30,000 per acre, the crop has not yielded any returns this season. ‘‘It would be better to dump our produce into the open or feed cattle on it rather than engaging labourers to sort the pototoes, fill them in sacks and then transport them to ‘mandis’ (farm produce markets)”, said a disappointed farmer from Lehra village, Shingara Singh. He said the farmers had spent had incurred much more heavier costs of fertilizers and other inputs this time. ‘‘We spend ` 30,000 on every acre of potato crop. Then we have to hire labour and transport the produce. We earn profit only if we sell a 50 kg sack for Rs 300. And this year we actually are, ’’ said Gaurav Ahuja, a potato farmer and owner of a cold storage on the Kara Bara Road. This time even wholesalers did not turn up to claim their tubers from cold storages after hearing about the bumper crop. ‘‘They abandoned the stocks - after all, they wouldn’t have wanted to pay Rs 65 as cold storage and carriage charges for the sacks when potatoes are being sold for Rs 70-90 per 50 kg”, said Ahuja. Farmers regretted that while they were selling potatoes for as low as Rs 1.60 a kg, the common man was still paying Rs 5 to 7 per kg.

Cattle made to binge on vegetables
Mandi Ahmedgarh, February 8 Vegetables like carrots, peas, beans, cauliflowers and turnips besides potato tubers had emerged as major constituents of diet being fed to cows and buffaloes. Besides being more palatable and readily consumed by the cattle, incorporation of these vegetables has eased the budget of farmers and dairy owners. Besides improving the health and enhancing immunity of the cattle, intake of these food items has increased the yield and nutrient profile of the milk as well. These vegetables were easily available in local
market at very low price. In the wholesale market, carrot was available for Rs 2 per kg, cauliflower for Rs 1.50 per kg. wheat chaff at Rs 5 per kg, potato tubers at 80 paisa per kg and green peas at Rs 10 per kg. Dr Ravinder Sharma, a dairy farm owner on Chhanna road, said green vegetables were more suited for use in the cow’s diet. Carrot can serve as a source of energy. A cow will eat up to 15 kg of green vegetables, said Sharma. Endorsing the trend, veterinary doctors have recommended that the vegetables should be processed prior to feeding to eliminate possibility of lodging in esophagus and causing blot. Veterinary officer at Jhuner, Dr Jagdev Singh, said green vegetables did not cause any deleterious affect. “Instead, the use of these vegetables will improve quality of milk besides increasing the yield,” said Singh adding that wheat chaff provided only roughage while essential minerals and vitamins were in the vegetables. |

Manhole Death
Ludhiana, February 8 The death of Sujan had infuriated the common man. People had demanded lodging of an FIR against those responsible for it. An engineer of the company was booked and subsequently arrested in this regard. Ironically, no action was taken against municipal officials who were responsible for checking the manholes. The five engineers of the company, out of resentment, have already left the job. Five other have submitted their resignation. This has forced the company to wind up its operation. “We were left with no other alternative as our engineers are not ready to work on this stretch of the road,” said M Suresh, manager (liaison) of the company. Parshottam Mittal, project manager of the company, said they had stopped working on the project for the past one week. The company is incurring loss worth Rs 1 crore daily. This would lead to delay in the completion of the work by another three months. We would not be able to complete it before November 2011. He alleged that the administration had turned an accidental case into a murder by booking their engineer. But, it has failed to taken any action against the municipal officials. Srikanth, deputy manager of the company, who is supervising the work near the Jalandhar bypass, said, “Ten of their colleagues have left their jobs till date. Others are planning to submit their resignation soon. |

Quacks, witchdoctors continue to defy ad ban
Ludhiana, February 8 Not only are “witchdoctors" making false claims of treating serious health disorders, they are also involved in criminal activities like animal and human sacrifices to “cure” patients. Some of them go to the extent of asking women to “sacrifice” a lamb, calf or even a child for an "offering." Providing “remedies” for chronic disorders like renal failure, AIDS and even cancer is a common practice among the witchdoctors, who advertise their claims on cable TV and print media without fear. However, the health & family welfare department has failed to take any action against any “witchdoctor”, quack or medically unqualified practitioner making false claims of providing treatment. An NGO working for “social causes”, Taraksheel Society, Punjab, is seemingly waging a lone battle against witchdoctors and quacks in the city. In the absence of any support from the district administration and the police its activists have not met with any success in putting an end to the practice of these imposters. However, Jaswant Jirakh, a senior office bearer of the NGO, said its members had recently helped three individuals in getting back their money from ‘tantriks’ (practitioners of blagic magic and withcraft). "A of Simlapuri resident, Purshottam Chand, had become a victim of ‘Moin Ji Samrat’, who offers ‘magical remedies’ near Gill Chowk, and had paid the latter Rs 4,500 to keep his children in ‘good health and mind’. But, unable to get any results, he came to us and gave an affidavit against the swindler. As a result we went to this ‘witchdoctor’ along with cops and got back the money,” said Jirakh. In the other two cases, Balraj Kaur of Leer village had gone to one Mohib Malik who took Rs 31,000 from her under the pretext of helping her to reclaim disputed property. “Realizing she was taken for a ride Balraj came to us and we got back the money from the ‘tantrik’. Another man, Mewa Singh, a cop, too had deposited Rs 11,000 in Malik’s account which was returned by the latter after our NGO stepped in”, Jirakh added. Said Dr Narottam Dewan, a noted general surgeon in the city.

Saaban Bazaar Locality
Ludhiana, February 8 On Tuesday morning, as soon as the BSNL authorities began installing their mobile tower in the bazaar, the shopkeepers of the area led by Vinod Jain, Davinder, Arvind Sharma, Rajesh Sharma, Sudesh Sharma, Neeraj Chawla, Ravi Kumar and others gathered at the site to oppose the move. The shopkeepers rued that due to installation of the tower in the area hazardous rays would be transmitted that would be harmful to them. They asserted that they would not allow the authorities to install the mobile tower in the area. However, the BSL authorities called up the police and soon a heavy contingent of police force led by Station House Officers (SHO) Devinder Kumar and Nirmal Singh reached the spot to avert any violence.

After which the shopkeepers raised slogans against the police and brought down the shutters of their shops in protest. They even alleged that the police was not allowing them to exercise their democratic rights and was pressurising them to allow the tower to be installed. However, the police officers told them that they were only implementing the orders and were not interested in any sort of confrontation. However, despite the protest by shopkeepers the BSNL authorities were successful in installing the tower.

Ludhiana, February 8 People, especially students, visited temples and worshiped Goddess

Loan from PWSSB
Ludhiana, February 8 The Audit report of LIT for 2009-2010, the copy of which has been obtained by Rohit Sabharwal and Arvind Sharma, the president and secretary of the Council of RTI activists under the Right to Information Act, has highlighted grave irregularity in the working of the improvement trust. In their report, the audit branch had highlighted that after getting directions from the Local Bodies Department wide memo number 10/187/2001-2SS-11/10413 dated 20/8/2001 the LIT had given an interim loan to the PWSSB. But ironically even after passage of 10 years the LIT had not yet finalised the terms and conditions of repaying the loan or paying the interest on it. The result of which is that the loan money has not been repaid yet and the LIT has suffered huge economic loss due to it. Commenting on it, Sabharwal said that it clearly showed that the LIT was not bothered about utilising the public money in a proper manner. He said that Rs 3 crore was not a small amount and it could have been utilised in a proper manner had the civic body bothered to get it back from the PWSSB. Demanding a thorough inquiry into the matter he said that the officials responsible for such a mess must be made accountable. “The objections raised by the audit branch are of grave nature and action must be taken,” he added. Similarly, Arvind Sharma also alleged that LIT officials were not developing the colonies due to shortage of funds, but on the other hand they had forgotten to get the money even after passage of 10 years. He also said that strict action must be initiated against the officers who were responsible for the lapse. When contacted, MM Vyaas, the chairman of the LIT, admitted that some part of the loan had been repaid but they had not got any interest against the loan given to PWSSB. Attributing it to callousness on part of the LIT officials, he said that they were not serious in getting the money back. However, he said, they had sent reminders to the state government for getting the transfer payment back. Lax approach
The audit branch in its report had highlighted that after getting directions from the Local Bodies Department, the Ludhiana Improvement Trust (LIT) had given an interim loan to the PWSSB. However, even after 10 years, the LIT had not yet finalised the terms and conditions of the repayment of loan or payment of interest on it. Consequently, the loan has not been repaid yet and the improvement trust has suffered a huge economic loss

Sales Tax Dept
Ludhiana, February 8 As a result of the glitch, hundreds of trucks remained stranded at the barrier as tax forms could not be filled online. Traders eventually got the forms filled out at the information collection centre. “I was unable to fill out my form online as the website remained out of order. The officials on duty filled it out manually and the entire process took a lot of time as the data had to be matched,” said Santosh Kumar, a trader. Another trader dealing in jewellery had come from Delhi but had to wait for hours to get the clearance. “Since I deal in jewellery, it was quite risky to get stranded at the barrier for hours. But as the website remained on the blink yesterday, I was left with no option but to get the forms filled out manually at the information collection centre,” he added. Tax professional Jatinder Khurana said chaos prevailed due to the glitch in the website. Many trucks remained stranded. “The website got operational in the evening and the entries from yesterday were done manually and the traders had to wait for hours to get their consignments passed. If any such problem occurs, the department should get it repaired at the earliest,” he added. A source in the department said a technical snag in the website had led to the shutting down of the website. Since the website is managed from Patiala, the Ludhiana office had no control over its maintenance, he added.

Filling of vacancies in government depts
Ludhiana, February 8 Talking to Ludhiana Tribune, Punjab Agricultural University Students’ Association (PAUSA) president Randeep Randhawa said the students had so far maintained decorum of the university by holding a peaceful protest. He said the students had continued with their peaceful protest even as the authorities had been fearing disruption by students in the proceedings of an international conference being held at the university. “However, the authorities must not take it as a weakness and must keep their promise of taking up the cause of the students with the government,” Randhawa said, adding that many such conferences were scheduled in the university in the coming months. Any laxity on part of the authorities could result in a retaliation by students, he added. Meanwhile, the hunger strike by protesting students entered its 13th day today. The students said the authorities could not keep requesting the students to exercise restraint and do little to redress their grievances. “Students had a right to the vacant posts across various agricultural departments of the state. Ignoring them would only harm the interest of the state in the field of agriculture,” they said. They claimed that they had support from various quarters, including student, labour and state organisations. However, the students were against lending a political colour to their agitation, they added. Double standard

20 Ramgarh families rejoin SAD
Sahnewal, February 8 The families promised to support Sharanjit Singh Dhillon, chairman, Punjab Agro Industries Corporation, and in-charge, Sahnewal constituency, in the coming elections. Dhillon said he would strive hard towards the development of the constituency. “Sahnewal shall be transformed into a model constituency in the coming year. Voters nowadays vote not for a political party but for the work accomplished by the incumbent government. It is the development carried out in Bihar and Gujarat that prompted the voters to retain the incumbent governments,” he said. “People were fed up with the false promises made by the Congress. The Akali-BJP combine is committed towards its people and a sizeable number of development works have been initiated,” Dhillon added. On the railway overpass at Sahnewal, Dhillon said in spite of the hurdles being created by the Opposition, the sanction for the bridge was in its last stage. “Punjab MPs had met railway minister Mamata Banerjee in this regard and she promised to speed up the process in the coming days,” he added. On complaints about erratic power supply in the area, Dhillon assured the people of rectifying the problem within 10 days. District Akali Dal president Santa Singh Umedpuri urged the people to unite at the village level and work for the development of the area.

Training in post-harvest processing begins
Ludhiana, February 8 The training programme, which will continue till February 22, is sponsored by the ministry of external affairs, Government of India. Participants from countries like Nigeria, Mauritius, Egypt, Tanzania, etc. on the African continent are taking part in the training programme, which is a blend of hands-on experience, field visits and expert lectures. “We are especially interested in the processing of millets and sorghum and developing value-added products from them. CIPHET has already done work on these foodgrain,” said Yara Koreisi, a scientist in Mali, an African country. Saraspandee Subramaniam, a scientist from Mauritius, said: “We have high hopes from the training programme. Our country imports a major part of its grain and pulses and processing is also very low.” Assuring that CIPHET would provide assistance to the participants from African nations, Dr RT Patil said: “One can find all kind of research activities and product development under one roof at CIPHET. Trainees get to know about new opportunities too.” He added that transferring technology in the area of post-harvest was not easy. “Until we provide hands-on training to the entrepreneurs, they cannot develop the expertise in developing quality products and subsequently market them,” he said, adding that future was bright for the small entrepreneurs in India and abroad. “Decentralisation of production is more effective because both load of production and risk involved get shared,” he added. Dr SK Nanda, project coordinator, said CIPHET was undertaking all-India coordinated projects, one on post-harvest and another on plastics. Dr MR Manikantan, senior scientist and co-coordinator, said they would provide a comprehensive training to the participants. CIPHET Initiative
