Cong seeks views of panches on
rural growth
Chandigarh, September 25 “We are keen to involve village-level representatives to prepare the party’s road map for development”, explained Surinder Singla, chairman, media committee. In a letter to panches and sarpanches of about 12,000 villages, Amarinder has said: “My understanding is that the Green Revolution has exhausted its potential. There is a need to design a new policy for agriculture and rural development to raise the level of income of rural people three to four times in a short span of time. “A new turn in the Indian economy has thrown up vast new opportunities for the farm sector to grow vegetables, fruits, pulses and set up dairy farms to cater to the needs of the expanding middle class, ready to spend money on quality food”. Opining that facilities such as good schools and dispensaries should be provided in villages in one go, Amarinder has sought suggestions of the people on modernising rural Punjab, his topmost priority. Amarinder has said in his letter that he had created Punjab Nirman Fund for comprehensive rural development. “But I could not implement my vision then.” Bathinda:
Surinder Singla, former Finance Minister in the Congress regime, said here on Sunday that the Congress would focus on overall development of the Malwa region and promote the cotton-rich region as a textile hub. During an interaction with the media, he said the Malwa region had an enormous potential for growth, but the ruling SAD-BJP combine had failed to tap the local resources. Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal had done nothing beyond making an announcement on setting up a textile park, he said. He said the Amarinder Singh regime had introduced the BT cotton that had turned Malwa into one of the foremost producers of cotton in the country. He said permission for the coal linkages for the coming thermal power plants had come during the Congress regime.

Capt says no to Badal’s ‘motivated’ proposal
Chandigarh, September 25 Questioning Badal’s intentions, the PCC president reminded him that it was his government which, to save Sumedh Singh Saini from a CBI inquiry into the murder of Bhullar’s father and other relatives, had in 2008 submitted an affidavit in the Supreme Court, describing Bhullar as a hardened criminal and dreaded terrorist. Later, when Bhullar had sought his transfer from Tihar to a jail in Punjab, the Akali Government had opposed the move saying, Bhullar “will be a threat to the peace in Punjab”. Capt Amarinder maintained that his stand was clear that Bhullar must not be hanged as he had been in jail for 17 years and on death penalty for eight years while life term was for 14 years only. “He cannot be given life term and death sentence for the same crime. Besides, the decision to hang him was a split verdict.” He said, Badal, taking a cue from Tamil Nadu and Jammu and Kashmir, proposed to moved a resolution on Bhullar only to score political points on the eve of elections. “In 2008 Bhullar was a terrorist for you and now at the end of your term you claim to defend him”, he said.The PCC president asked Badal to set his own house in order and convince his alliance partner (BJP) on the issue. “The Congress knows what it needs to do ”, Capt Amarinder told Badal, reiterating that the BJP stand on the issue only strengthened the public perception that theirs was simply an opportunistic alliance cobbled together to stick to power.

Populism On Wheels
Amritsar, September 25 The saffron is a colour associated with the ruling SAD. The move just before the state assembly elections can be seen as a political gimmick to woo the voters. The state government plans to provide more than 2.5 lakh bicycles to girl students under the Mai Bhago Scheme. At a ceremony to launch the scheme, Minister for Social Security, Women and Child Welfare, Laxmi Kanta Chawla distributed 600 cycles among girl students from four schools in the city. She refrained from commenting on the issue despite queries put forward by the mediapersons on the issue. “It is a privilege of the Chief Minister,” she quipped. In an earlier political gimmick of the kind, the pictures of Chief Minister and Health Minister were pasted on the ambulances under the scheme launched by the state government. However, the pictures were later removed after media reports highlighted the issue. Brij Bedi, a social activist, said, “It is way of political system. It is good that the government has thought of providing cycles to girl students. But there was no need to turn it into a running advertisement for the ruling party.” He added that the Election Commission must take a notice of the issue. Gurbhej Singh of Mission Agaaj said, “The ruling alliance had no need to highlight their party interest. The money spent on the scheme is public money and nobody has a right to promote his or her party interests through such schemes.” Dr Inderjit Kaur of Pingalwara Charitable Society said, “The voters must not fall prey to such tricks. More of these tricks would be used to woo the voters as the elections approach.” She added that not only the SAD but parties ruling in other states have been using these gimmicks to promote their vested interests. The minister said, “Looking at the difference between level of literacy among girls and boys, it was felt that providing them with a conveyance would help in increasing their literacy rate.” Deputy Commissioner Rajat Aggarwal stated that in comparison to other districts of the state, the difference in literacy rate among male and female students is very low here. He added that with the Mai Bhago scheme, the difference would further narrow down.

Civil plea in way of release of jailed youths
Chandigarh/Dubai, September 25 SP Singh Oberoi, who has been following the case eversince as appeal was filed in the court in April last year, says that no date has been fixed for the hearing of the special petition filed on behalf of Mushtaq Ahmed and Shahid Iqbal, who were injured in a violent clash between two groups of bootleggars that resulted in the death of Pakistani youth Mishri Khan. Both Mushtaq and Shahid are related to the deceased. While Shahid Iqbal, who was held guilty in some other cases, stands deported from the United Arab Emirates, Mushtaq Ahmed had been following the case religiously with his presence in the court at every hearing. The court had at one stage refused to accept him as the official holder of the power of attorney on behalf of the family of the deceased . Mushtaq , who moved a civil petition through his counsel Khalifa-al-Maftool, claims that he has been authorised by his brother Shahid Iqbal to represent him in the case. While the Appeal Court, accepting the settlement reached between Mishri Khan’s family and those of the 17 Indian youths, waived the death sentence, no orders were passed for compensation to Mushtaq Ahmed and Shahid Iqbal. Hence, Mushtaq and Shahid moved an application asking the court to restrain the Sharjah Jail authorities from releasing the youths till the pendency of their application. Legal experts say the petition will come up for hearing later this month or next month. The court, in all probability, will seek a report to ascertain the quantum of injuries received by Mushtaq and Shahid. “After reports from medical experts are received, the court will decide whether to go ahead with the civil petition or dismiss it,” says Oberoi. “I am also in touch with the Indian Consulate-General here. There is no reason for alarm,” he said.

Fight Against Female Foeticide
Patiala, September 25 The United Nations, Geneva, during June 2011 session conferred the title of the “International Women Rights Activist” on Dr Kaur for her efforts for checking this practice. During her visit to Toronto in April 2011, she was able to motivate 2,500 university students against female foeticide and they gathered under her slogan “Hail the Girl Child” and promised that they would neither give nor accept dowry. A signature campaign was also initiated in this regard and for this achievement, Dr Kaur was honoured with the lifetime achievement award in the Canadian Parliament. Talking to The Tribune, Dr Kaur said it was nice to see youngsters come forward to support the cause. “Dowry and female foeticide are the most common problems these days not just in India but abroad as well. Therefore, it is really important to engage youngsters in such missions, as they are the ones who can actually bring changes in society,” she added. When questioned about her recent visit to Vancouver, she said around 250 more students from Kwantlen College joined her “No dowry campaign”. Meanwhile, a Hollywood Movie “Roaring Silence” based on Dr Kaur's book “Female Foeticide - A Curse” was introduced at the Cannes Film Festival this year and was displayed in the Cannes Magazine.

Pak Sikhs seek citizenship
Amritsar, September 25 Their elders, who have been on petty jobs for over a decade here, would have to accompany them them back to Peshawar to furnish documents to seek extension for their stay in India. Today, 20 such Pakistani Sikh families, on an initiative taken by Surinder Kumar Billa, president, All-India Hindu Shiv Sena, assembled at the Durgiana Temple complex, urging the Indian Government to grant them Indian citizenship on the plea that they had been living here for over 15 years now.As Pakistani nationals, they have to go back to Pakistan once every five years to get their passports renewed and every second year to the New Delhi Embassy for their stay permit. “We are scared. Whenever we go back to Pakistan, we are subjected to humiliation by the Pakistani officials. Moreover, life over there is hell, especially for girls. The education scenario is very bad. We demand that the Indian Government grant us citizenship”, said 18-year-old Niranjeet, who came here when she was three.

Department for food safety soon
Chandigarh, September 25
In fact, the Union Government has already enacted a Food Safety Act, which has been enforced in the state with effect from August 5. The Union Government had advised the states to set up department for food safety. It should be headed by an IAS officer, who should be designated as Commissioner for Food Safety. At present, the responsibility to check quality of eatables and drugs etc lies with the Health Department. But after the setting up of a separate department for food safety, the Health Department would be relieved of this responsibility. Besides the Commissioner, there would be Joint Commissioner at the state-level and then Assistant Commissioners at the divisional headquarter-level. The district health officials would be designated as food safety officials. The Food Safety Department will have powers to check the quality of drugs also besides checking the quality of all eatables. Under the Food Safety Act, anyone engaged in the preparation and sale of consumables in the state will have to be registered. For small businesses such as “rehriwalas”, the registration fee would be Rs 100 and for others it would be from Rs 200 to Rs 1,500 depending upon the scale of business. For all petty offences related to food quality, there would be provision of fine. Earlier, all cases related to food adulteration used to be tried in a court. However, now Additional Deputy Commissioners would be empowered to handle such cases by holding summary trials. Acting as adjudicating officials, they would be having powers to impose a fine up to Rs 10 lakh. And there would be provision to challenge the decision of the ADC at the level of state Tribunal headed by a retired judge of the High Court. Quizzed in this regard, Satish Chandra, Principal Secretary, Health, said the state government was preparing to implement the Food Safety Act in letter and spirit.

Bittu demands setting up of drug prevention board
Mohali, September 25 Bittu said he would demand setting up of a House committee and a drug prevention board. The negative attitude of the Akali-BJP government towards the formation of the drug prevention board had resulted in the free distribution of liquor and other medicated drugs in the recently held SGPC elections, he said. “Though the Chief Minister has praised Narendra Modi for the progress and growth of Gujarat, he forgot that the progress and growth of Punjab, where more than 72 per cent of youth are addicted to one or the other form of drugs, is not possible if the menace is not tackled immediately,” Bittu said. He reminded the Chief Minister that the state government after 121 hours of the initiation of the hunger strike gave a written assurance that a Drug prevention Board would be in place within one-and-a-half months, but nothing had happened even after the passage of four-and-a-half months. Bittu demanded immediate formation of a House committee of the legislatures of all the political parties to enable them to discuss and deliberate on the kind of powers to be delegated to the constitutional body such as the drug prevention board.

Mid-day meal workers hold protest
Patiala, September 25 They also handed over a memorandum to the local office of the minister in this regard. Hundreds of workers gathered at the Nehru Park to take part in the rally. Talking to mediapersons, Mamta Sharma, a worker of the union, said despite working for almost six hours everyday, these workers were paid a meagre salary of Rs 1,000 per month. She demanded that they should be given salaries according to the Minimum Wages Act. “With an increasing inflation rate, it is impossible to get even two meals a day with this salary. Worst is that there is no insurance cover for us despite the fact that many of our workers have been injured while cooking food,” she added. Darshan Balumajra, president, Punjab Subordinate Services Federation, said, “The government should also provide life insurance cover, provident fund facility and a provision of six-month maternity leave. Moreover, the sewing teachers should also be given their due share.” The workers also demanded regularisation of their jobs in order to ensure a better future.

Teachers stage dharna, seek regularisation of services
The protesters have been demanding regularisation of their services, covering the “Sikhiya Karmis” under the Sarv Sikhsha Abhiyan (SSA), enhancement in salaries on a par with the SSA teachers, maternity leave along with the pay, increase in casual leaves as per the Civil Services Rule, deduction of employees’ provident fund from salaries and implementation of annual increment. Talking to The Tribune, Aulakh said after a one-month strike at Batala in April, Punjab Education Minister Sewa Singh Sekhwan had assured them that they would be brought under the SSA at the earliest, but even after the passage of five months, no action had been taken in this regard. “Therefore, I have decided to sit on an indefinite hunger strike. Though we are made to work on a par with the SSA teachers, there is a huge margin in our salaries. While they are paid Rs 18,000, we are working on a meagre salary of Rs 8,000,” Aulakh said. “If the government is ready to bring us under the SSA, why is it not issuing any notification in this regard? We will not fall a prey to their tactics this time and will end the strike only after the notification is issued,” he added.

Equipment in place at Attari to freeze polio spread
Amritsar, September 25 The booths were set up at the Attari checkpost with a view to counter the infiltration of polio virus from Pakistan.
Urban Nodal Immunisation Officer Dr Rashmi Vij said a few polio cases were reported in China recently and following investigation the strain was located to Pakistan. She said in view of the large number of people visiting from Pakistan daily, health authorities were concerned about the transportation of the virus. Vij said the ILR had been installed to ensure safe and effective supply of the vaccine for daily use. Considering the round-the-clock polio drops administration activity, the authorities decided to install the machines at Attari instead of transporting the vaccines every day, she said. The two booths, one at the railway station and another on the road route, came into operation yesterday. The teams administered polio drops to seven children on Monday who travelled from Pakistan aboard the Samjhauta Express. Dr Rashmi said the health authorities have planned to set up permanent booths at these two entry points.

Langah: Check practice of burning stubble
Patiala, September 25 He said the government would soon initiate a project of building dams in order to conserve rain water. “The government will spend Rs 100 crore on the project. We have identified suitable places at Hoshiarpur, Pathankot and Roop Nagar in this regard,” he said. “Through the project, we will try to make proper utilisation of rain water. Moreover, this will help to tackle floods in many flood-prone areas,” he added. Talking to mediapersons, Langah emphasised on checking the practice of burning stubble. He said if the farmers continued to flout the rules, the government would be compelled to make a new act in order to check this practice. He appealed to the farmers to break the cycle of paddy and wheat in order to replenish the soil. He said the farmers should rather sow vegetables and fruit for better profits. He also emphasised on providing education to the farmers regarding various agricultural issues stating that this would help them in marketing their crops and get the maximum economic benefits.

62 units found violating pollution norms in Ludhiana, Jalandhar
Patiala, September 25 The Board conducted raids at as many as 68 electroplating industries of Jalandhar and Ludhiana yesterday and found as many as 62 of them violating the norms. “The electroplating industries had joined the Common Effluent Treatment Plant (CETP), set up for the treatment of the electroplating effluent at Ludhiana. During the raids, it was found that as many as 42 industries were still defying the Board guidelines”, said PPCB chairman K.S.Pannu.

Four-laning of National Highway 95 hits roadblock
Ferozepur, September 25 The project has been approved from Ludhiana up to Talwandi Bhai, the work on which is likely to be started soon. SR Tholia, Project Director, National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), said an amount of Rs 479 crore is likely to be spent on this project, which is being executed under BOT basis. “Final clearance from the Forest Department is awaited, following which the work shall begin,” he added. Besides, widening of the road from Ludhiana-Talwandi Bhai, several grade separators and under bridges have also been planned in this project. Earlier, keeping in view the historical importance of Hussainiwala, where the National Martyrs Memorial is situated, the state government had approached the ministry to extend the project up to zero line. Even the officials from the ministry had a meeting with the district administration. It was agreed to extend the project up to Hussainiwala, on which an amount of Rs 25 crore was to be spent. The administration had also asked the departments concerned, including Forest, Powercom, PWD, BSF and Army to prepare estimates for shifting electric poles, bunkers and other utilities along this road. While confirming the development, Neeraj Bhandari, Executive Engineer, Central Works Division (CWD) said apparently due to shortage of funds, the project has been left out during the modified plan by the ministry. Manpritam Singh, SDO, PWD (CWD), said the four-laning had been approved after lot of persuasion with the officials in the ministry, who had agreed on the project due to importance of this road up to international border. “Every day thousands of people, including dignitaries, come to Hussainiwala to pay respects to the gallant martyrs and watch the Indo-Pakistan retreat ceremony. Several melas and festivals like Baisakhi and Shahidi mela on the martyrdom day of Shahid Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev are also held here with fanfare. However, the government has no funds to even construct a proper road here,” lamented Ashok Baja (Retd) ITO, who runs a NGO here. Subhash Tuli, chairman, Beopar Mandal, said, “The road on other side of the Hussainiwala border in Pakistan from Gandasinghwala to Lahore has already been four-laned long time ago. However, it does not seem to be on the priority list of the authorities here.” Tuli demanded that the state government should take up this matter with the concerned ministry again so that a good road can be made up to the memorial where the gallant sons of the soil were unceremoniously cremated by the British. “We owe at least this much to the martyrs,” he added. Project shelved

Amarinder: Police promotions a joke
Chandigarh, September 25 In a statement issued here today, Capt Amarinder Singh pointed out, the police personnel have got the promotion only in rank without any benefit in pay. He said, Sukhbir had played a cruel joke on them as he had merely upgraded their ranks without providing them the real benefit. “What do you do with an upgraded rank when you are not provided the due benefits in pay?” he asked. The former Chief Minister said, while everybody knew about Sukhbir’s intentions that these were done with a view on elections only, but nobody knew that he will cheat and play a trick on them. He said, Sukhbir’s plight was understandable as he had no money to provide benefits to the police but that does not mean he should have played fraud on his
own people. The PCC President observed, had Sukhbir and his government been really sincere towards the police and other employees, it would not have held back their arrears due to them on account of the Sixth Pay Commission recommendations. A poll stunt: Bhattal CLP leader Rajinder Kaur Bhattal termed the sops as a mere election stunt. In a statement here, she said the hiked remuneration of nambardars from Rs 500 to Rs 1,000 and sarpanches from Rs 600 to 1,200 was too meagre in view of the inflation trends. They should be paid Rs 5,000 per month.

Dr Garg honoured at international conference
Patiala, September 25 Dr Garg chaired a scientific session in the conference and received a certificate of outstanding contribution to the conference. Besides this, he also presented a research paper on the topic “A new technique for visualisation of latent fingerprints on various surfaces using powder from turmeric: A Rhizomatous Herbaceous Plant (Curcuma Longa)” jointly authored by two of his students (Harish and Ramanjit Kaur) in this conference which was widely appreciated by the scientists. Dr Garg said: “Since latent fingerprints are not visible to the naked eye, they require some means of development or enhancement for their visualisation.

Powdering technique has been used as a technique since the early nineties and various powder formulas have been developed but turmeric is a new addition in this regard.”

Police personnel get training for faster
delivery of passports Jalandhar, September 25 Perneet Singh, RPO, said the system
would be in place from October 3. The system is introduced under the
Passport Seva Project. He said that the on-line service would reduce
the time spent in sending and receiving police reports. The system
will be of a great help in order to get access to the police reports
from far-flung districts like Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh and West
Bengal, he pointed out. It will also help the RPO in cases where the
police authorities send incomplete reports and that are sent back to
the authorities concerned. This causes hardship to the applicants and
waste a lot of time. In the new system, it will not be possible to
send an incomplete police report because the software will not accept
the report unless all the columns are filled, he said. It will be
helpful in cases where applicant’s photograph gets misplaced. Now,
the photographs will be scanned and then it will go along with the
report, he added. Singh said that the police reports are often sent to
wrong addresses by the passport office. Such mistakes will not take
place as the new software has the provision for automatic re-routing
of the report from one district police headquarter to another. The
new system is user friendly. The software will automatically fill up
all the columns by default if the police report says ‘ok’. The
police authorities do not have to fill all columns manually and they
can send the reports immediately.
