Admissions over but not politicians’ testimonials!
Showing number of such slips sent by local politicians Hira Singh Gabria and Satpal Gosain, the principal of a city college said condition of anonymity that she was “fed up” with so many recommendations. "How can we accommodate all the students who come here only on the basis of politicians’ references? Some of the students have scored very low to be eligible for admission in any course. Admissions for BCom-I were held online and each list was prepared by Panjab University itself. There were limited seats and meritorious students had to be considered. Still we were under so much pressure to accommodate the near and dear ones of influential people", said the principal.
Another college principal complained that the admissions process was almost over but not the recommendations from ministers. "We’re getting calls by their personal secretaries who first request us to ‘do something’ to give admission to the particular student. If we tell them we’re unable to do anything about the matter they become sore. But what can we do? We can’t bend the rules for ministers or any one else", the principal added. After Panjab University recently increased the number of seats for MCom courses in colleges, the problems of principals have been aggravated. College administration officials are again under pressure to admit students recommended by ministers and MLAs. "A particular Minister is repeatedly asking us to provide admission to a girl student in one of the courses, since all the seats have already been filled, we are finding it too difficult to say no to the minister", said a college faculty member.

Rs 3.10 lakh fake currency seized
Ludhiana, August 9 Fake currency notes worth Rs 3.10 lakh, which were printed in the Pakistani mint, has been seized from the accused, said senior police officials. Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Ashish Chaudhary said: “The paper quality and the printing of the currency notes is so fine that is could only be manufactured in a mint. Layman can’t even differentiate between the original and the fake currency. The makers of the fake currency have taken care of all security features.” Even bank officials were bemused while checking currency notes and it was after a thorough scrutiny that they could differentiate between the fake and the original. Ranjit Singh, alias Jeeta, a native of Amritsar, is the kingpin of the gang. According to the police, Jeeta after doing some odd jobs in Delhi was now settled in the Jamalpur area of the city and was running the fake currency racket for the past three months. The Sarabha Nagar police in a drug- paddling case had
also booked Ranjit. “Earlier he was peddling opium, but found huge profit in fake currency and quickly switched the trade,” said Additional Deputy Commissioner (ADCP) Harjinder Singh. Hinting involvement of Naxals, the DCP said, “He was carrying the money from Jharkhand. So there could be a Naxal hand behind it. We are probing the original source from whom he used to procure the fake currency notes.” He told the police that he used to buy currency worth Rs 1 lakh by paying nearly Rs 50,000 to Rs 55,000, and sell it further for Rs 60,000 to Rs 65,000 depending on the customer. Nasim Shareef, of Kidwai Nagar, Raj Kumar from Filed Gunj and Inderjeet Singh of Prem Nagar were working as his cronies. Their job was to lure traders and businessmen, who have huge transactions, into the trade. The four, including Ranjit Singh, Nasim Shareef, Raj Kumar and Inderjeet Singh, were nabbed while they were carrying out the illegal transaction with three businessmen near a Mega Mart located on the Chandigarh road late last evening. The three businessmen identified as Dalip Kumar, a resident of Tobba, Vijay Singh, Rajesh Kumar of Nawa Mohalla and Mukesh Kumar of Prem Nagar were arrested for purchasing the fake currency. “So far they have pumped in nearly Rs 12 lakh fake currency notes in the local market,” the DCP added. NIA had hinted of Pakistani agency‘s involvement The National Investigative Agency (NIA) had hinted that the fake Indian currency notes being circulated in India were actually being manufactured in a state- owned printing facility in Pakistan.Investigators had sent the seized counterfeit currency notes along with original Pakistani notes to a committee constituted by the Security Printing and Minting Corporation of India to scrutinize them. It has been established that these fake currency notes were being printed in a facility owned by a sovereign country.

Staff, equipment shortage plagues Civil Hospital
Ludhiana, August 9 A hospital employee told The Tribune: "It may be easy to teach 60 students together in a class but it’s an uphill task for a nurse to look after 60 patients in a ward. We are so overworked that we’re left with no time to have our meals on time." One of the nurses at the hospital said: "Visit any ward and you’ll find only one nurse there, who is changing a patient’s drip one moment and has to give an injection to another patient the next moment. Ever since the 108 ambulance service was launched started we receive many unknown patients in this ward but, in the absence of staff, it’s very difficult to take care of them. There should be separate staff for them”. Said Shiv Ram Saroy, a member of the hospital’s Rogi Kalyan Samiti: "The patients complain to me that none bothers about their ill-health. The instruments for checking blood pressure are of no use. Similarly the stethoscopes are also not in working order and I myself feel helpless about all this." Ashok Kumar, a diabetic patient whose right leg has been amputated, said: "I come here every other day to get a fresh bandage done. I’m too poor to pay even the rickshaw fare to get here. I come from the distance of two kilometers with the help of this walker and have to go the third floor of the hospital for getting this bandage done." In the hospital’s female ward it was observed that two patients were sharing the same bed. Fed up with the worsening situation, a group of nurses and Class IV employees have submitted a memorandum of their demands to senior medical officer.

City biggest gas guzzler in the state
Ludhiana, August 9 ‘‘Of the estimated 377 fuel stations in Ludhiana district 65 are located within the city municipal limits and retail 422 kilolitres of petrol and 1,500 kl of diesel on an average every day. In a month the total volume of petrol sold is about 3,000 kl of petrol and 45,000 kl of diesel”, said JP Khanna, president of the Petroleum Dealers Association, Punjab. Basing his estimates on data collected from retail fuel dealers in the district between March 2010 and March 2011, Khanna said Ludhiana accounts for maximum number of petroleum products sold in any city in the state. “While there are 22 districts in Punjab, the city's share of petrol retail sales accounts for a fifth of the estimated 2,200 kl sold every day in the state. About 10,000 kl of diesel is sold at 2,736 gas stations located all over the state every day”, he added. While fuel dealers have something to rejoice, city residents need to curb their fuel consumption. After all they are contributing to already uncontrollable fossil fuel consumption and pollution of the environment in a big way.

Cops get cracking, challan minors
Ludhiana, August 9 The drive was launched following the death of BCM School student Akhilesh, who was mowed down by a garbage truck of the municipal corporation at Guru Arjan Dev Nagar while he was returning home on his scooter. Akhilesh was not wearing hamlet at the time of the accident. The cops were directed to challan the vehicle first and then attend the phone call of the VIPs. The traffic police begin their challan drive from Sarabha Nagar, Shastri Nagar and the Civil Lines area in the afternoon, where all major schools of the city are located. The drive came as a surprise for bus operators who were seen taking their vehicles in narrow lanes to avoid challan. The city police had often received brickbats from residents for not taking action against the reputed schools. “Our focus was to target schoolchildren as students of all major schools are the biggest traffic violators. We are ready to face the consequences and earn the ire of VIPs and politicians, but whatever we have done would ultimately benefit the residents and decrease the accident rates,” said a cop. Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (Traffic) Harmohan Singh said: “The drive will continue till the students start wearing hamlets and auto-rickshaw driver and school bus and van operators start adhering to
the rules. Today, we conducted the drive in the afternoon, tomorrow we will do it in the morning." “It is the duty of the parents and school authorities to ensure that the children wears helmets and carry relevant documents. It is for the benefit of parents that their children should adhere to the traffic rules. And if they are underage then they shouldn’t provide them geared scooters, motorcycles or any other vehicles," said ADCP.
Suggestions ADC of Police (Traffic) Harmohan Singh has urged people to make roads safe for commuters. While making his cell phone No. 9592914717 public knowledge, he said, "I am open for suggestions. Any residents who want to solve the traffic problem can contact me." Risking life to avoid
challan: Students were seen risking their life to avoid traffic challans. On seeing cops chasing them, they tried to accelerate their vehicles. "I am not going to chase them as they speed up their vehicle and often lose control. I fear that they might not get hurt or collide with a vehicle and endanger their life,” said a traffic cop, standing near MC Zone- D office. Students harassed lot Many students who were being ferried in school buses were seen sweating when their buses were stopped by the traffic cops for checking documents. Girls have more mobiles than boys The fact came to fore during the challan drive when most of the male students were seen without mobile phone. In contrast, girl students, who were stopped for challand, were observed pulling out mobiles and forcing cops to talk to possibly ‘high level contacts’ on phone. Many businessmen and VIPs were seen rushing to Sarabha Nagar, Fountain Chow and Civil Line area after their wards vehicles were impounded for want of proper documentation. |

Positive response to VC’s
clarion call
Ludhiana, August 9 Pavittar Singh Pangli, president of the club, had recently announced to donate Rs 51,000 to the varsity. He said the farmers associated with the PAU had shown tremendous response to the Vice-Chancellor’s call. “Many of them donated on the spot while others would donate once the paddy-harvesting season ends (by the end of October). BS Garcha, another farmer, has donated Rs 25,000 from his side. The PAU Kisan Club executive, which has at least 10 members, have decided to donate Rs 2,000 each to the varsity,” Pangli added. Bani Cheema, Executive Director, DASCFT (Dr Amrik Singh Cheema Foundation Trust), said the Trust had decided to contribute Rs 11,000 to the corpus to be created by the PAU. Late Dr Amrik Singh Cheema served as the Vice-Chancellor of the PAU and played key role in ushering in the Green Revolution. The foundation was basically attached to farmers and was working to bring awareness among them especially women so that sustainability and food security issues were addressed in a systematic manner. Meanwhile, the non-teaching employees of the university are yet to take any decision in this regard. Avinash Sharma, general secretary of the union, said, “PAUTA has donated for the good cause, but we are waiting for the written communication in this regard. Once we receive the communiqué, we will a general house meeting and then donate as per our pockets.” |
Dharna by teachers
Mullanpur Dakha, August 9 Seventy teachers led by Sukhraj Singh, Surinder Singh and Jasbir Singh held the protest in support of their demands after the management failed to take any step in this direction. The protesters said they were being paid “meagre” salaries. They said a step-motherly treatment was being meted out to them. Eight teachers were issued show-cause notices for allegedly spoiling atmosphere of the school. Terming the sequence of events to be unfortunate, Dr Rajpaul Singh claimed that the management had been paying higher salaries than a majority of schools of the area. He argued that for any increase in salaries of the staff, the management would have to revise the fee pattern, which would ultimately burden parents. Referring to information received from the office, Singh said the institute was suffering deficit of Rs 2.5 lakh per month due to difference between income and expenditure. Hostile attitude of protesting teachers had resulted in a decrease in the number of students from 1,610 to 1,516, Singh added.

Breastfeeding can cause nursing decay
Ludhiana, August 9 A recent study conducted by the Christian Dental College, CMC, revealed that nighttime breastfeeding is also a cause of nursing decay. Talking to The Tribune, Dr Abi M Thomas, principal and head of the department of pedodontics and preventive dentistry of the Christian Dental College, CMC, said: “During the breastfeeding week, which was celebrated from August 1 to August 7, we observed that the 64 per cent children who used bottle are significantly associated with having teeth decay as compared to 24 per cent those not using bottles. Prolonged and unrestricted nighttime breastfeeding is also a cause of nursing decay. However, breastfeeding is associated with a low risk of developing tooth decay, compared with bottle feeding. Nevertheless, breast milk does contain sugars and some infants who breastfeed for long periods throughout the day or night may develop tooth decay.” Prevention against tooth decay l
Avoid giving milk or other drinks in bottle at night. l Avoid “at will” breastfeeding once the first teeth have erupted. l Infants should be weaned from bottle at 12 to 14 months of age. l Do not put honey or sugar on pacifiers. l Start to teach your child to drink from a cup at about 6 months of age. l Cleaning of teeth should be started by the time of eruption of the first primary tooth.

Thus, orders were issued not to ply any garbage-collection truck from 6 am to 8 am (which is the time when students go to either for tuitions or schools) and 1 pm to 3 pm (time when the students return from schools).

It’s unfortunate that Akhilesh (18) was mowed down by the municipal corporation’s truck on August 6. But, we won’t tolerate such incidents any further,” Jaggi warned.

World dances to the tune of Vande Mataram
Ludhiana, August 9 The dance sequence seemed to be amalgamation of different genres as it swayed from Bharatnatyam to ‘Chau’, veering to western and contemporary and giving the song a global touch as the Tricolour waved in sync with flags of other nations. The first evening of the three-day International Children's Festival of Performing Arts started with a prayer song followed by ‘Vande Mataram’. Children of Ryan International School performed a musical ‘Kitabien karti hain batein’. Performance of kids in a musical ‘Kitaben Karti Hai Batein’ directed by Utkarsh Marwah, head of cultural affairs at Ryan International School, brought home the point that books are an essential part of children's education. Out of naivety, they may not like books but without them education of children is incomplete. In the musical filled with drama, music and comical acts, the children tear books. The books get angry with them and return to ‘bookland’. Missing the books, the children chase them and meet famed books like Cinderella and Ali Baba realising that books have a life of their own. They finally fall in love with books. “The aim of the musical is to inculcate the culture of reading books. In Europe, buying books as birthday present for children and reading books is so common but that's not the case in India,” said Marwah. Children from Ryan International School gave dance performances of various genres ranging from contemporary and western dance forms to folk dances from Finland, Lithuania, Sri Lanka and Germany with professional finesse. Dance trainers from many countries, including Austria, Latvia, Finland, Germany, Sri Lanka and Jordan trained these children for dance performances.

Potholes, absence of streetlights irk residents
Ludhiana, August 9 The residents say this road does not falls under the Ludhiana Municipal Corporation and therefore no government agency is concerned about it. However, MLA Darshan Singh Shivalik said the construction of the road would start soon and it would be constructed at a cost not less than Rs 4 crore. Darshan Gupta, a resident of the Central Town, said, “This road connects the Pakhowal road with the Ferozepur road via Threeke village. The road offers a bumpy ride as there are a large number of potholes in it. The situation is worst in monsoon when water gets accumulated in potholes, making life miserable for the residents.” Sanjay Goel, an architect and a resident of Kiran Vihar Extension, rued, “There is no provision of streetlight on the road, which results in incidents like snatching. While the state government is boasting of turning Punjab into California, such roads exist in a city, which is considered to be the financial hub of the state.” Inderjit Singh Gill, a lawyer and a resident of the Sunrise Colony, stated that due to construction of an under-bridge near Lodhi Club, the main road (southern bypass), which directly connected the Pakhowal road with the Ferozepur road, was closed for vehicular traffic. “Now, most of the traffic passes from this road, which has even worsened the situation. We pay all kinds of taxes and if this is what we would get in return then I must say that it is a sad state of affairs,” he rued.
