No govt action yet against lapses by hospital staff
Ludhiana, March 5 A group of hospital employees who procured the details under the RTI Act had alleged the hospital’s medical superintendent, Dr Wahegurupal Singh, and some senior physicians, including gynaecologist Kiran Gupta, were drawing their salaries from the postpartum centre and were also getting paid by the hospital administration under changed names. A team of state health department officials along with district family welfare officer Dr Sanjeev Hans had conducted a probe into the matter last year. The inquiry report stated though Wahegurupal was shown as an employee of the postpartum unit but the attendance register did not have his signatures. The report also mentioned the salaries drawn by Wahegurupal, Gupta and clerical staff of the postpartum unit as well as from the hospital.The departmental inquiry clearly stated the allegations against the medical superintendent of operating the skin outpatient department at the postpartum centre were true. The most shocking revelation of the probe was that Wahegurupal and Gupta, employed under the postpartum programme, were also getting a “nonpracticing allowance” from the government, as had been alleged by hospital employees. Hospital officials are also said to have provided "wrong information" in the affidavit to the health department, as has been established in the inquiry report.

Revision round concludes
Ludhiana, March 5 With the revision round of the Census 2011 concluding today, a large number of people are still waiting to get themselves counted. But, official machinery, which woke up three days ago, is expressing helplessness, as there is no time left to cover the “left out” houses and people. MS Jaggi, Joint Commissioner, Ludhiana Municipal Corporation, who is also holding the additional charge of the Census operations in Ludhiana district, said the teams had done a commendable work in the revision rounds. “All four joint commissioners, including I, received numerous calls on our mobile phones from those who have not been counted by enumerators due to one reason or the other. We ensured that houses in all such areas are counted. Despite that, there must be some who might have been left out. But, we can’t do anything about it now,” Jaggi added.However, speaking on time chosen by enumerators for visiting “left- out” houses, Rajan Khera, an IT professional, said: “Working people, who are not available at home during the daytime, can be contacted in the evening. But neither officials nor enumerators have bothered to visit such households early in the morning or late in the evening.” The casual attitude is evident from the fact that enumerators have not even bothered to take the contact numbers of people who were not present in their houses. “Contact numbers can be noted down from neighbours, directories or the area welfare associations,” Hans Raj, a senior citizen, said.

GNIMT students upset over
non-refund of security deposits
Ludhiana, March 5 “My daughter completed her MBA from this institute. But the management has failed to refund Rs 4,500 security deposit so far. She along with her friends went to get refunds but was rudely told to come next week. This is not done. Why are they harassing students and parents,” a parent asked? A few students were told that delay in handing over the security deposits was due to lack of funds with college, he added. Anil Sharma, another parent, said his son completed MCA this year. Students were being told to fill a form worth Rs 2 for seeking refunds. “They are being asked to even fill a declaration on the pretext of donating some amount to the college (out of their security deposits). We were not told about this at the time of admission. Donation depends on willingness of a person. One can’t force a student or a parent to donate the money to the institute. It is an educational institute, they should not ask for donations like this,” he added. Director of the Guru Nanak Institute of Management and Technology, Col HS Singha (retd), said: “We will start refunding the security deposits from Monday onwards. As far as donation is concerned, there is no compulsion. We are just asking from those who are willing to donate for becoming a member of an alumni association.” |

City kabaddi players
sulk after losing
Ludhiana, March 5 After a humiliating 52-32 defeat against Jalandhar in the final of the ‘kabaddi’ contest at the Guru Nanak stadium here on Friday night, members of the host team were seen sulking in front of the power packed Jalandhar squad and struggled to earn one point. The visitors stretched the lead from the beginning of the match and notched 15 points in the first quarter of the game. Sources in sports department said the players gave a below par performance as they were “scared” after NADA teams visited the stadium to collect dope samples from the players. Soon after losing the match the Ludhiana team made a quick exit into the dressing room and refused to come out for the award ceremony even after being called by announcers. Caught in an embarrassing situation Gurmail Singh Pehalwan, senior vice president of the Punjab Kabaddi Association, who was to give away the prizes to the winner and the runner up, went straight into the dressing room along with veteran ‘kabaddi’ player Devi Dyal to cheer up the dejected players. He reportedly urged them to come out of the room and receive the runner-up award. However, his repeated pleas fell on deaf ears and eventually only four of the players agreed to go out and received the award for the home team. The prize distribution ceremony ended in a jiffy and players along with officials made a hasty exit. Meanwhile, most of the spectators were found to be in an inebriated condition. People were seen drinking even inside their vehicles and then entering the stadium. Host players performed bad as they were “scared” of NADA teams that visited the stadium to collect dope samples. Soon after losing the match, the Ludhiana team made a quick exit into the dressing room and refused to come out for the award ceremony even after being called by announcers. |
After decade, MC wakes up to flower show
Ludhiana, March 5 The last flower show organised by the MC was in year 1999, but due to callous attitude of the civic body in maintaining and promoting greenery in the city, it’s only now this year that the show is being organised after a decade. However, the response to MC's late initiative was quite good as it received around 550 entries for the flower show. Though most of the entries were from school and colleges and that of residents barely touched 234, but public institutions especially government institutions also made their presence felt by participating in the contest, which was inaugurated by Chief Parliamentary Secretary of the local bodies department Harish Rai Dhanda and MC Commissioner AK Sinha. Though private entries of 234 residents in the city having population of more than 40 lakh seem to be too little figure, but it shows how apathetic the residents have become along with the civic body towards a greener planet. Even startling thing was that there was hardly any entry from inner areas of the city and most of entries were from posh areas of the city where people have maintained big gardens in their houses. However, a big respite for MC was that a large number of viewers showed interest in watching this show and families enjoyed the display of colourful flowers with their loved ones.

MC starts drive on amnesty scheme
Ludhiana, March 5 Recently, Local Bodies Minister Manoranjan Kalia had made announcement regarding waiving off of the interest on pending arrears of various branches till March 31. The directions to start the drive were passed by Joint Commissioner BK Gupta, who is the in charge of the house tax branch, here today. While presiding over a review meeting of the branch conducted for ensuring recovery of pending arrears, Gupta asked his staff to ensure that notices were served to various defaulters against whom arrears of the house tax were pending. Gupta said in the notices it should be clearly mentioned that how much arrears have been pending against them and what amount residents would have to pay if they availed the benefit of amnesty scheme under which interest on the payments was waived. Gupta told the Superintendents and Inspectors of his branch to ensure that notices were served to defaulters at the earliest so that they could avail the benefit of the scheme. MC officers were viewing the scheme as an opportunity for generating maximum revenue from defaulters. In most of the cases interest money had become equal to basic amount due to its non-payment, making it difficult for residents to pay such hefty amount of money. According to sources, house tax worth Rs 25 crore was pending towards residents and if MC got this amount then shortage of funds with the civic body could be overcome.

Begins desilting sewers to check gastro outbreak
Ludhiana, March 5 Every year a large number of localities like Giaspura, Jamalpur and Sherpur fall prey to gastroenteritis and other waterborne diseases that have caused several deaths. Unauthorized water supply connections in slum colonies inhabited by migrant workers are thought be the primary contributor to the spread of gastroenteritis. Another major cause is contamination of water supply resulting from the civic body’s failure to desilt sewers and faulty garbage disposal. Due to the MC’s apathy in addressing these problems civic officials have been reprimanded by various statutory bodies. A team of health department officials that visited the city recently took MC staff to task for the latter’s indifferent attitude. Though insensitive MC officials have been passing the buck to other departments however in an unprecedented manner keeping in mind the interest of general public MC has now geared up for taking precautionary measures in vulnerable areas in advance. As the officials feel that summer season is most crucial time when the waterborne diseases spread in these areas so the operations & maintenance branch has decided to desilt all sewage lines in vulnerable areas before the onset of summer so that any sort of such situation could be avoided. VP Singh, superintendent engineer in the operations & maintenance branch, convened a meeting of branch officials few days ago in which he asked them to conduct desilting operations in a proper manner, after which MC officials began the work. Sources said Singh and other officials of the executive engineer rank were themselves monitoring the drive and strict instructions were issued to junior staff that strict action would be taken against them if any sort of laxity on their part is observed. When asked to comment on the matter, Singh confirmed the civic staff had begun the drive to desilt sewage lines in areas considered vulnerable to the spread of gastroenteritis and other waterborne diseases. Terming it as a “routine exercise”, he added: “It’s our job to conduct desilting operations every year. Before summer sets in all sewers in the city will be cleaned up. Pilferage of water through illegal connections would also be checked”.

Dealers continue to protest against excise duty
Ludhiana, March 5 Pankaj Arora, president of the association, said: “Government was adamant on ruining the business community.” The agitated dealers and traders went to Jagraon bridge and burnt the effigy of Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee. The dealers said since it was a small scale industry, the industrialists couldn’t bear the excise duty. “The Central government must revoke its decision of imposition of excise duty for the welfare of business community,” said Arora. The BJP trade cell also protested against the excise duty move on traders at Chowk Hari Dev Mandir, Mochpura, today. BJP district president Rajiv Katna said 10 per cent excise duty on garment manufacturers will ruin the industry in the city. Yarn prices were already sky-rocketing and the additional burden of the excise duty was uncalled for. “Businesses in the city will close down due to such steps. In case government fails to revoke its decision, we will intensify our agitation,” said Katna.

Lawyers stage dharna
Our Legal Correspondent
Ludhiana, March 5 These lawyers raised slogans against the DBA President and its secretary and demanded that chambers should be allotted through draw of lots. A few lawyers, who had applied for chambers in 2006 and had staged a dharna on Thursday at the district court complex, were demanding allotment of chambers on preferential basis as they had applied long ago. They had even deposited the entire amount in this regard. The chambers have already been allotted to 30 lawyers who had applied in 2006. President of the District Bar Association, Naval Kishore Chhibber, refused to confirm this. New applicants met the president of the District Bar Association and put forth their demand of scrutinizing lists of allottees and cancellation of chambers allotted to non-practising lawyers.

Youth returns from Libya, recounts tale
of horror
Jagraon, March 5 “It is very satisfying to be united with my family again as a few days back I was not sure if I can meet my family again,” stated Gurdeep. Besides Gurdeep, four other Punjabi youths, including Sat Naraian of Lambran village, near Jalandhar, Dharminder and Harjit of Hoshiarpur and Jagmohan of Jhoraran village near Raikot, have also returned from Libya. According to Gurdeep, the money he had earned while working in a construction company was looted by the locals. They even snatched his mobile phone and some other valuable belongings. “The situation is so bad that there is no law and order and people are looting each other,” said Gurdeep. Recalling the days spent in a camp in Libya, Gurdeep said: “Though the company we were working in provided us all possible assistance, it was an unforgettable experience as nobody knew what was going to happen in the next minute. It was just like a nightmare.” Gurdeep was, however, all praise for the efforts made by Indian government to rescue the Indian workers stranded in Libya. According to Gurdeep, the Indian Embassy in Libya was very cooperative. “We boarded an Air India flight from Libya on March 2 and landed at Indra Gandhi International Airport at New Delhi from where we boarded a bus to reach home past night.” Gurdeep said the officials of the Indian government were very helpful and they even offered money to some of the people so that they could reach their destinations. “The situation in Libya is becoming more violent with each passing day. The condition of Indian workers who were working with small scale companies is worst as neither their companies nor the security agencies there provide any kind of help to them,” stated Gurdeep when asked about the condition of other Indians stranded in Libya. He further said that the Indians who were working in small companies were not paid their salaries. According to Gurdeep, there were hundreds of Indians still trapped inside the camp of a company in Sirt. Nearly 1,000 of those stranded there were Punjabis, he added. Now, Gurdeep is looking for a job here so that he could earn a livelihood for his family. When asked whether he wanted to go back to Lybia if the situation became normal, Gurdeep said, “I will not go there at any cost in future.” “Instead I would prefer to work in my own country, no matter how much money I earn here. After all nothing is important than one’s life,” he added.

Punjabi women enter new bastion, prove their mettle
Shivani Bhakoo/TNS
Ludhiana, March 5 At least 25 women, aged between 18 and 35, have been jointly trained by the Apex Cluster Development Services and the Ivaana Institute to be absorbed in local hosiery/textile units. And the results have been quite satisfactory. Jagmohan Singh from Oyster Group of Companies, who has given jobs to some of these women, said he was exporting products to countries like China, Russia and the Europe. He found women working in factories during his China’s visit. Most of the Chinese women were working on flat-knit machines, over-lock machines, embroidery and stitching machines. ”If we also realise this, we will never face labour shortage in Punjab. Due to tantrums of migrant population from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, many hosiery and textile units have moved to Tripura as more women are working in industries there. The trend of workingwomen is missing in our industry. If women extend helping hand to the industry, we can do wonders,” Jagmohan Singh added. One such trained woman Gunjeet Kaur (26), who was absorbed by a hosiery unit here, said it was an altogether a different experience and satisfying one. “Being financially independent is a nice feeling. I am being paid ` 4,500 by employers. It is six hours job and I am enjoying working on stitching machines. The working atmosphere is also good,” she added. Amarjeet Singh Raja from Raja Industries, where these women were imparted training, said they work slower as compared to migrant population, still industrialists were satisfied. “Within six months, these women will start working at par with migrant population. But they are about 50 per cent cheaper than those from Bihar and Uttar Pradesh. We prefer married women to unmarried ones due to the stability factor,” he added. Manmeet Sodhia from Ivvana said they faced numerous problems while convincing in-laws/parents of these women. But at the end of the day, the experiment of giving training to the women came out to be a successful venture. Drawbacks
* Trained, but leave units after marriage * Bit slower than migrants from Bihar, UP *
Time constraints * Positive Aspect * Women work at cheaper rates than migrants *
They prove to be stable workforce * No shortage of local women labour

Referees’ protest delays football matchMohit Khanna
Ludhiana, March 5 The referees were protesting against being neglected by sports organisers. They complained that referees were given Rs 300 a day by the sports department. Further, the department has made no arrangements for the stay of the referees.

But later their accommodation was made at the Gurdwara Shri Guru Singh Sabha, located in Deep Nagar. They further complained that no arrangements were made by the organisers to ferry them to the games venue and they spend from their pocket. “We were given a handful of Rs 300 for umpiring in five matches. Even a daily wage labourer would be better than us,” ruled one of the referees. Krishan Kirpal, the match commissioner, also complaint against the sports department authorities for neglecting the referees, who were accredited by the Punjab Football Association (PFA). “Strange are the ways of sports department. While the organisers are showering money on players, they offered peanuts to the referees who have the responsibility to conduct the games. When the referees raised the issue with sports department officials, they were snubbed and told to keep quite. Is this justified?” asked Gyan Singh, chairman of Punjab referee board, who is also the match commissioner. The matter was resolved after the intervention by senior football players.
