Crops on 90,000 acres wiped out in floods
The Deputy Commissioners concerned have submitted the preliminary reports with regard to the damage to crops and houses to the government authorities concerned. At most of the places, paddy crop has been hit hard. However, there was no major loss to lives, though a boy died in Kapurthala district some days ago. In Kapurthala district, most of the damage was caused to crops in Sultanpur Lodhi subdivision, though water has started receding in most of the areas. People, who had shifted to high places owing to flooding of their settlements, have started returning to their homes. Crops on about 40,000 acres were damaged in this district. Some 'kutcha' houses were also damaged. Fazilka Deputy Commissioner Basant Garg said crops had been damaged on 13,000 acres in Fazilka subdivision and 3,000 acres in Jalalabad subdivision. Sutlej played villain in that area. About 262 houses were damaged. Garg has sought Rs 18 lakh to repair some of the roads and government buildings urgently. In Tarn Taran districts, crops have been damaged on 30,000 acres. It includes 26,000 acres of paddy crop. Most of the damage has been caused in Goindwal-Muthewal belt. Agriculture Director Balwinder Singh Sidhu said though crops had been damaged in some areas owing to floods, in other parts of the state there was no major damage. "We are certain to meet the target of 160 lakh tonnes fixed in case of paddy. Except in flood-affected areas, the paddy crop is in a good condition," he said. However, if the wet weather continued for some more days, it would cause in the maturing of paddy crop and thus delay its harvesting for about seven to 10 days. "We want that the weather should clear now. Sunny weather at this stage will be good for the paddy and cotton crop," added
Sidhu.

It’s raining worries for cotton growers
Bathinda, September 5 A farmer union leader, Shingara Singh Mann, said that the rain was beneficial for the crop in areas where the soil was sandy. Farmers in the areas near Bathinda in whose fields the rain water had accumulated were seen busy draining it out in order to save their standing crop. Farm scientists said the rain would help ward off the pests that had recently appeared on the cotton plants in certain areas of Abohar and Fazilka. Assistant Plant Protection Officer in the Agriculture Department at Abohar Sukhdev Singh Brar conducted a quick survey in Abohar and Khuyiansarwar blocks after the rain. He said the widespread showers have washed off the white fly and there were no reports suggesting attack by mealy bug or American Bollworm. Barring a few waterlogged areas, villages falling under the Seetogunno sub-tehsil area have been benefitted by fresh spell of downpour as these are partly located in deserts. "The rain water is by and large beneficial for the cotton crop as it helps in blooming of the cotton bulbs. Besides, the rain also prevents the cotton crop from the attack of mealy bug, white fly and sucking pests, says agriculture expert Satish Dhingra.
(With inputs from Praful Nagpal and Raj Sadosh) Life thrown out of gear in Abohar Abohar: Life was thrown out of gear after heavy rains lashed the city yesterday and on Monday. Attendance was thin in most of the schools. Cars got stranded in knee-deep waters. Assumption Convent School, which has the largest number of students from the subdivision, declared a holiday on account of Teachers Day. Teaching work in some colleges was suspended as teachers proceeded on a mass casual leave in response to a call given by their federation. Some schools ferried back kids using three-wheelers and jeeps at 11 am after morning prayers. — TNS

Forest Dept staff to keep tabs on use of live lures in greyhound races
Jalandhar, September 5 The order reads: “It has come to our notice that such races are organised at several places in Punjab and greyhounds are set upon hare, porcupines and other wild animals.” Notably, the hunting of these animals is banned under the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972.
Diana Ratnagar, BWC chairperson, also wrote to Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Badal in this regard seeking his intervention in the matter. She appealed that greyhound racing should not be legalised in Punjab. In a similar request to Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal, Dr Sandeep K Jain, chief coordinator of CAPE, too, appealed against its legalisation. Initially famous in the Malwa belt, the trend of greyhound racing has nowadays caught the fancy of the people in Doaba region. So much so that, the count of members and admirers of the race runs into several lakhs. Dr Jain claimed the “so-called sport” was fast gaining because of the large population of NRIs in the region, who promote such events by setting up their own racing clubs. The membership of such clubs runs into several hundreds, he said. Another reason for the race gaining popularity is that illegal betting takes place during such events, which gives rise to gambling-related social evils like drug abuse, drinking etc, he claimed. “This race was on the decline in the West owing to the negative trends associated with it,” he added. Ratnagar said: “In order to make up for the losses incurred abroad, surplus greyhounds are being brought into Punjab. People, particularly the youth, should not be introduced to such a degrading sport…. No dog race tracks should be set up anywhere in the state as the land and money can be better utilised for some other good work.” Greyhounds, it is learnt, are trained using live lures such as hare, rabbits and kittens. They are kept hungry so as to motivate them to chase, catch and tear apart small animals. Having had their blood-lust aroused, they willingly run after mechanical rabbits, hares and other small animals on racetracks.

Morcha accuses SGPC of financial bungling
Jalandhar, September 5 The SGPC management, the Morcha leaders alleged, had not only failed to deliver but had also committed several irregularities in the gurdwara fund management. Those present on the occasion included Ravi Inder Singh, Bhai Mohkam Singh, Darshan Singh Issapur and Jathedar Raghbir Singh Rajasansi. In its poll document, the Morcha assured of better management of gurdwaras and funds, making names of those in “unlawful” possession of gurdwara land (by way of nominal rent or lease) public, computerisation of historic gurdwara ‘serais’ for their “transparent” functioning and removal of the existing “direct or indirect control” of private trusts over gurdwara properties. “As many as 42 of the total 86 SGPC-run gurdwaras, including the Golden Temple, have been shown to be in losses in the 2010-11 SGPC budget…. The Golden Temple had a FD (fixed deposit) worth Rs 72 crore in 1998, which no more finds mention in the SGPC budget. Similarly, all 19 SGPC-run colleges and 18 of its 32 public schools are running in losses. Guru Ram Dass Medical College, which gets an annual direct grant of Rs 5 crore from the Golden Temple budget, is also a picture of financial mismanagement and
there is no use of machinery worth Rs 22 crore at the institute,” Ravi Inder Singh said. Manifesto promises…
‘Irregularities’ in college admissions Morcha leaders Rajasansi and Issapur alleged the Morcha had documentary evidence establishing major irregularities in admissions at the Guru Ramdass Medical College. “Seven non-Sikh students, including two from Ludhiana, were admitted against seats reserved for Sikhs and NRIs. Admission-related advertisements were inserted in Tamil Nadu and Kerala papers,” the said. “SGPC funds are being diverted to certain private trusts being headed by Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal,” he said.

Bhullar can amend his plea, says SC
New Delhi, September 5 A Bench comprising Justices GS Singhvi and HL Dattu asked Bhullar’s senior counsel KTS Tulsi to file the amended petition within a week. The Bench also directed Additional Solicitor- General HP Rawal to come out with the government’s response in two weeks thereafter. In the original petition, Bhullar had sought commutation primarily on the ground of eight years’ delay in the rejection of his mercy plea. As a result, he was kept in solitary confinement all these years at Tihar. This was worse than serving the life term, which did not entail solitary confinement, he had contended in the petition. The death sentence should be commuted to life as he could not be forced to undergo two punishments - death and incarceration for years - for the bomb attack. The apex court had issued a notice to the Delhi Government on May 23 this year, seeking its response to Bhullar’s contention. Bhullar’s counsel today said he would add two more reasons for sparing the life of his client. One, the Law Commission had recommended that cases involving death sentences should be decided only by Constitution Benches of the Supreme Court. Second, the sentence should be commuted if the apex court verdict upholding the death sentence was not unanimous. Bhullar’s death penalty was confirmed by a 2-1 majority verdict of the apex court. In the original plea, Tulsi had cited Bhullar’s mental status as a reason against sending him to the gallows. The agony of waiting to be hanged had made him a mental wreck and he was being treated at the Institute of Human Behaviour and Allied Science at Shahdara. There was no legal provision for hanging convicts with such a mental condition, he had pleaded.

Manpreet hits back at SAD over paid news allegation
“I have time and gain said we are against all sorts of corruption and corrupt poll practices, including paid news. First of all, the party did not pay for it and even if it did, the SAD has locus standi in raising the issue. I can understand if Anna Hazare might feel aggrieved, if at all, but where does the SAD figure in all this,” he questioned. A former Finance Minister of Punjab, Manpreet said he wanted to remind the SAD that there was no need to go to the Commission as the elections were only a few months away. “We have more important things to do than indulge in such petty matters,” he added. Earlier in the day, he met party workers from neighbouring areas and held discussions over the party manifesto and party structure.

Sukhbir Badal lashes out at evil ‘trio’
Sangrur, September 5 Welcoming Ghangroli into the party fold, Badal said the “anti-Panthic” policies pursued by Capt Amarinder Singh, Barnala and Sarna had left them nowhere. Sukhbir said the main motive of the Congress was to have Gandhi family’s favourites in the SGPC with the help of this ‘trio’. He said this ‘trio’ would now try to create confusion on the Sehajdhari issue.

Capt: Akal Takht can’t summon PM
Putting up a spirited defence, he said: ”With all respect to the sanctity and authority of the
Takht, while in office, a PM does not belong to any religion and represents all the people of his country,” he pointed out. Accompanied by MP Santosh Chaudhary and PCC general secretary Arvind
Khanna, Amarinder met workers from the three assembly segments of Sham
Chaurasi, Garhshankar and Chabewal at Mahilpur (Hoshiarpur) this noon. Taking the Akalis head-on, he said the SAD, particularly Chief Minister Parkash Singh
Badal, was being ungrateful by saying that the Congress-led UPA Government headed by Dr Singh was discriminating against them. “It is a fact that the state coffers are empty and most works in the state are being funded by the
Centre. It would not be wrong to say that the state is surviving on central grants alone,” he added. He said during his regime, the Centre had provided 10,000 tonnes of grain per year for the people living below the poverty line. Now during Badal’s reign, Punjab was getting 10,000 tonnes every month.” This means the state is getting 12 times more than what it was getting earlier,” he
explained. Amarinder reiterated that his party had nothing to do with the SGPC elections. At pains to clarify that his visit had nothing to do with the screening of candidates for the coming assembly elections, he said that the party had a proper mechanism to finalise the candidates. “Allotting the party ticket is the sole discretion of party president Sonia Gandhi,” he said. Others present on the occasion were PCC general secretary Arvind
Khanna, local MP Santosh Chaudhary, Tarlochan Singh Soond, DCC chief Sunder Shyam
Arora, MLAs Love Kumar Goldy and Sangat Singh Giljian, DYC president Amarpreet
Lally, former MP Kamal Chaudhary and Sonu Dhesi.

Despite appointment letters, education dept delays shifting of teachers
Patiala, September 5 Even though the appointment letters have been issued, the teachers have not yet been shifted to the department because the Zila Parishad authorities have refused to relieve them until they get their substitutes. “They are of the view that if we are shifted, their schools would suffer due to shortage of teachers. The government has already conducted the Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) and can appoint teachers in our place if they are actually serious about shifting us. Now, the entire onus is on the government,” one of the teachers stated. Another teacher alleged that the government had taken this step just to end their protests regarding shifting them from the zila parishad to the Education Department and was deliberately delaying this matter. “Our appointment letters have a condition that we can join only if zila parishad relives us. How can zila parishad refuse to relieve us, if the government directs them to do so? This is just an excuse. Moreover, there are a number of volunteers, who can work in our place but the government is not trying to solve the problem,” she added. DEO (Elementary) Balbir Kaur Gill confirmed that the zila parishad was not relieving them. She further maintained that a case had been filed in this regard because teachers were demanding a shift solely on the basis of merit and not the backlog.

Teachers observe it as ‘Black Day’
Patiala, September 5 The teachers working as guest lecturers in the government colleges took out a rally from the bus stand till the mini-secretariat and raised slogans against the anti-teacher policies of the state government. These teachers alleged that they were working against 700 vacant posts in various colleges of the state for the past eight years and were given work equal to regular, part-time and contractual teachers but when it came to salaries, they were paid peanuts. Talking to The Tribune, Prof Gulshandeep Kaur from the Government College, Sangrur, said the government was taking undue advantage of their services. She said, “While the regular teachers get a salary of Rs 40,000 to Rs 90,000 per month for the entire year, the guest faculty gets merely Rs 7,000 per month and that too just for seven months. Even the part timers and contractual lecturers get Rs 21,600 and Rs 25,000 per month for the entire year respectively, which is more than three times the salaries we get,” she rued. Another teacher, Chamkaur Singh, from Government College, Sunam, said it was really difficult to run their families smoothly with this meager salary and the situation gets worst in those five months when they have no work. “We are given work only for seven months and it gets really difficult to provide even the basic facilities to our families during the five months we are unemployed. Why government was adopting this biased policy was beyond our understanding because even our educational qualification is equal to that of the regular teachers?” he added. These teachers further said the UGC had directed the government to par at least Rs 25,000 to guest faculty teachers but the government was ignoring its directions while their counterparts in Chandigarh were payed Rs 25,000. Meanwhile, a joint forum of various teachers’ union staged a dharna outside the DEO office in the wake of their long-pending demands. Hundreds of teachers gathered outside the office and demanded immediate solution to their problems. They threatened to intensify the stir in the case of further delay.
Dr S Radhakrishnan remembered
Mohali: Punjab Education Minister Sewa Singh Sekhwan addressed a function organised by the Northern Management Association at the head office of the Punjab School Education Board here on the occasion of Teacher’s Day. Remembering eminent educationist Dr Radha Krishnan, the minister said he was a source of inspiration for teachers. In the changing times, the role of teachers was also changing and it had become mandatory for the teachers to guide students on moral values.

Yet another honour for ailing teacher
In a function held here, Jatinder was honoured by former SGPC President Kirpal Singh Badungar and Sri Guru Granth Sahib World University Vice Chancellor Dr Gurnek Singh, at Baba Zorawar Singh Fateh Singh Senior Secondary Public School, Fatehgarh Sahib, where she is working as a Science teacher. It is worth a mention that despite suffering from breast cancer, Jatinder became an effective teacher and arranged for finances for marriage of her younger sisters. Instead of spending on her treatment, she saved money for her family members. Honouring Jatinder for her struggle against all odds, Prof Badungar, a former teacher, stated that for teachers it is very important to follow what they preach their students. “Jatinder Kaur’s story is an example of grit and determination of a single woman in the society who progressed in all spheres.” Badungar said. Meanwhile, Gurnek Singh said the land of Fatehgarh Sahib demonstrates the feeling of sacrifice. Jatinder’s struggle and sacrifice is on the lines and teachings of Sikh religion.

Resolve Sehajdhari issue, Phoolka tells Jathedar

Accept invites with caution, CJI tells Judges
Chandigarh, September 5 In a letter to the Chief Justices, the CJI asserted: “Time has come for introspection that Judges need to be more cautious and circumspect while accepting such invitations. You may discuss the matter with the Judges of the high court and advise them to exercise due care and caution before accepting such invitations.” It would be advisable if beforehand discreet verification was done as to whether such an organisation or its members were embroiled in any litigation in any tier of the judicial system, he said. “In case they are litigating parties, it is advisable to refrain from there.” Going into the reasons necessitating the issuance of advice, the CJI asserted that he would like to draw attention to the rising trend of Judges delivering lectures or inaugurating functions on invitations by different
organisations. “Instances have come to fore that some of such organisations or its members are litigants in the courts and have shared the dais with the Judges. Such
organisations, or its members may not be having cases pending with a particular judge, but his participation sends unwarranted indelible impression to the litigants and the public at large, he held. At times, the CJI maintained, members of the subordinate judiciary also attend the function and open interaction with such litigants... “Various complaints in this regard are being received, which are followed up by the complainants who are desirous to know the outcome thereof. Acting on his letter, the Full Court of the Punjab and Haryana High Court on August 23 resolved that “due care and caution be exercised, while accepting invitations to deliver lectures or inaugurate functions; and discreet verification be done beforehand whether the organisation or its members have any litigation in any tier of the judicial system. In case they are litigating parties, it is advisable to refrain from accepting such invitations”.

Gurdaspur family tried for murder that never was
Chandigarh, September 5 Seeking directions to the State of Punjab for a fair and impartial inquiry through the CBI or some other independent agency, Satnam Singh has alleged that complainant Amrik Singh got a murder case registered against him and six of his family members on June 9 under Sections 302, 201 and 404 of the IPC at the Civil Lines police station, Batala, after one Jagroop Singh disappeared and a body was found. The petitioner added that he and his family were picked up by the police and tortured. However, they were released from illegal custody after the forensic examination of the body revealed that it was of a 40-year-old man, while Jagroop Singh was only 18. The petitioner claimed that his cousin Gurparkash Singh was married to Paramjit Kaur, but she had an illicit relation. On May 26, Paramjit Kaur in connivance with Jagroop Singh and his family administered sleeping pills to her husband Gurparkash Singh and mother-in-law before taking away gold and cash. He added that the police till date had not carried out further investigations to find out the truth. Taking up the petition filed through counsel Simranjit Singh, the high court has issued a notice of motion to the state of Punjab and other respondents.

Gang behind fake degrees busted
Patiala, September 5 The police claims to have arrested Balvir Singh and Gurpreet Singh, alias Ginny, both residents of Mohali. Another suspect Jaswinder Singh is yet to be arrested. His arrest is crucial as he is believed to have “ arranged for potential candidates.” Patiala SSP Gurpreet Singh Gill said that Balvir and Gurpreet had revealed during preliminary questioning that marks sheets of Panjab University, Punjabi University and the school board were sold for as low as Rs 7,000. “In some cases, marks were shown awarded to candidates who had either failed or had not appeared for the examination at all ”, Gill said. On the modus operandi, the SSP said while one of the gang members looked for customers, the other two made certificates on a scanner using paper similar to that used by the two universities. “We are probing the matter and the role of university insiders cannot be ruled out. The certificates looked impeccable at first glance”, he said. Police officials investigating the case said the recent recruitments, including those in the police wing, in the past three years were under the scanner. “We will try to recover all the certificates from the accused, verify these from the universities and then zero in on the candidates who benefited from them ”, said SI Bhinder Singh. The police have got in touch with officials of the two universities as well as the school board for details pertaining to the degrees recovered from the computer records. “Our teams will tally the records recovered with the original ones and summon all those suspected to be involved in the scam”, said CIA incharge Sukhminder Chauhan. A case has been registered under Sections 420, 467, 468, 471 and 120-B of the IPC at the Tripuri police station.
