Punjab right to services ordinance
Ludhiana, September 29 During a random check at some of the Patwar Khanas of the district, it was found that the department officials cited 30 days when it came to providing mutation (Intkaal).
A resident of Jodhan, who had come to take Jamabandi of his land, said that copies of Farad, Jamabandi, Intkaal as well as Girdawri can be taken in a day. “I wonder why the state government is claiming that this is its achievement?” he said. But when asked that how much did he pay to get the Jamabandi, he smiled and said, “Rs 200”. The state government has been claiming that the Punjab Right to Services Ordinance as a feather in its cap, not even a single board about educating people regarding their rights under this ordinance was seen at four of the Patwar Khana’s, at Sunet village, Daad village, Jodhan village and J block of Bhai Randhir Singh Nagar, which The Tribune team visited today. Leave aside a display board about this ordinance, the Patwar Khanas at Sunet, Daad and J Block of Bhai Randhir Singh Nagar didn’t even have their own board, which indicates that the building is a Patwar Khana.
A resident of Model Town, who had come to Daad village for some work, rued that this was the second time when he had seen the main gate locked. “Every time I come, I am told that the Patwari is in court,” said the resident, who did not wish to be identified.When a person sitting in the Patwar Khana of J Block of Bhai Randhir Singh Nagar was that how many days would it take for an Intkaal, he said one month. Similarly, a Patwari at Jodhan village and officials at Sunet village also shared similar views. This despite the fact that the state government is making tall claims that Intkaal would be provided within 15 days.

Textile units suffer Rs 2-cr loss daily
Ludhiana, September 29 The strike appears to have reached a deadlock, with the labour department failing to come up with any solution to end the tussle between the Textile Mazdoor Union and textile manufacturers. A large number of textile workers staged a dharna outside the office of the labour department on the Gill Road to protest against the “dilly-dallying” attitude of the
department and the manufacturers in implementing the labour laws in factories. The workers of about 150 units are on strike for the past eight days. Rajwinder, convener, Textile Mazdoor Union, while talking to The Tribune said though their protest had entered the eighth day, but nobody was eager to resolve the issue. “The textile manufacturers were supposed to hold dialogues with the union today, but nobody has turned up. We met officials of the labour department, but they have expressed helplessness in finding any solution. In case, they fail to come up to our expectations, we will intensify our agitation,” said Rajwinder. The president of the Ludhiana Textile Manufacturers’ Association said, “Workers are blackmailing us. We are incurring losses worth Rs 2 crore per day. But, we won’t bow to their pressure. We are holding meetings with them on regular basis. We were scheduled to meet them today, but workers of more than 150 units went on strike suddenly. We have in a written communiqué to officials of the administration, police and the labour department told them that the strike is illegal,” said Jaggi. Power loom units at Kashmir Nagar, Gaushala, Shakti Nagar and New Madhopuri are the
worst affected as at least 2,500 textile workers are on strike. |

He has been a role model for his sons and grandson, who joined the Army thanks to his encouragement. Both his sons Captain Harjinderjeet Singh and Lt. Col Harmanderjeet Singh retired after serving in the Army. Now his grandson Major Gurminder Singh and his wife Major Mandeep Kaur are happy to be part of the armed forces. "It's a matter of pride for me that three generations from our family have served in the Indian Army," says the laconic man. His rich experience as a war veteran has only added yet more depth to his philosophy of life. Delighted to receive honours from fellow gunners during the 184th Gunners' Day celebrations at the Ludhiana Officers' Institute, he turns nostalgic. "When we fought wars, the weaponry was very different. The motto of our artillery forces suggested that we should stick to our values under all circumstances."In 1940, he joined the First Indian Survey Regiment of the Artillery. That was the time of the Second World War. Major Gurdial Singh fought in the world war for the British Army, at Burma. He got injured during the war that ended in 1945.

Ward No. 11 has sewage flowing in streets
Doraha, September 29 The civic body has failed to address their problems. Many complaints have been filed, protests launched, agitations organised but the the civic authorities has not yet taken any action. The municipal council on the other hand says that there is lack of drainage space in the town. “This is not for the first time that we are encountering such a problem. It has been years together but now the situation has gone out of control, as we are unable to breathe in such dingy conditions. The foul-smell emitted out of the sewage water is unbearable” said Dalip Singh Cheema, a resident of the ward. Inderjit Singh, a resident of this ward, says, “Our life has become miserable as we don’t get to breathe in clean air, no hygienic atmosphere to stay in and no proper sanitation and for this we hold the municipal council responsible. On every second or third day, the residents of the ward visit the municipal council’s office to register their complaints and talk to the officials who pay a deaf ear.” “Soon an epidemic will spread here, as months have passed since any sweeper or sanitary official visited this particular ward. The sewer water not only floods the streets but also enters the houses of the residents, thus making the situation all the more deplorable. The drainage system gets choked to such an extent that even a small downpour leaves the condition of streets and houses miserable, ”complained the residents. SI Vishnu Dutt however said that they had been evacuating the sewage flow every now and then. Even now a fresh pipe is being laid so that the residents may get some relief. “We are doing whatever we can to solve this problem but since the sewerage system in Doraha has outlived its capacity, we too are sometimes caught up in a fix as to how to handle the problem,” said Dutt.

MBA passouts keen on pursuing their own business
Ludhiana, September 29 Director of the GGNIMT, Dr HS Singha, said usually it is perceived that colleges affiliated to Punjab Technical University (PTU) do not conduct the placement drives but things have changed due to the lack of interest of students in placements. Singha said every year the colleges call multinational companies in their campus but feel very disappointed with the reaction of students towards placement. It was found that students are interested in joining their family businesses instead of any job in companies, he added. Gurleen Kaur, a gold medalist in MBA said, “I did not enroll myself for placement because it was never my dream. I was good at academics and study is more than an employment for me. I did MBA for matrimonial value”. Another gold medalist in BBA from GGNIMT, Jasleen Singh, said, “We have well settled family business, then why should I do a job in any other company. I did BBA for my family business. I don’t want to pursue even MBA because it is sufficient for my dreams.”

Democratic right to protest
Ludhiana, September 29 Lal Qile se aaee awaaz The younger generation held in high esteem Netaji Subhash Chander Bose as the great freedom fighter and members of the Indian National Army were considered his comrades-in-arms. From Jallianwala Bagh, after listening to songs and speeches for two-three hours, all students along with bystanders headed towards the Town Hall. There the police blocked our path and we were told to sit down on the road. After sometime, a magistrate addressed us and warned us against doing any mischief. Still we refused to disperse and resumed raising slogans. At that stage, the police came into action and started striking lathis on the road. There was hue and cry at that time and some students dared to rush forward. They were apprehended and detained in the kotwali for some time. Thereafter, they were released after undertaking assurance from their elders that they would desist from such activities in the future. The next day, we again gathered in our colleges and went to the Jallianwala Bagh to participate in the struggle for the freedom of the country. I remember what S Narinder Singh, who was DC of Amritsar for some years after the Partition, told us in a casual manner at the annual function of our college. In 1946, he was the city Magistrate at Lahore. He used to accompany demonstrators, along with the police force, for the purpose of maintaining law and order. The general rule was that the administration should not clash with people so long as they were non-violent. In case the peace was disturbed, then the police came into action but with restraint. Now in free India, slogan-raising demonstrators are at times manhandled even when they are exercising in a peaceful manner their democratic right to protest. Sometimes it so happens that some mischievous elements, who have nothing to do with the demonstration, start throwing stones at the cops to get malicious pleasure. At this, the hell is let loose and it is free for all. In that melee some persons are grievously injured. What pains the common people, who watch television or read newspapers, is the brutality of the force used to disperse the mob. Recently, I have seen in a newspaper a demonstrator in the grip of a cop while another cop is holding his stick in both hands to strike the helpless fellow with full force. This sight is unforgettable as the plight of the injured person can be well imagined. He will be in the hospital, even in the ICU, bleeding profusely or with a broken bone. Then the picture of the worried members of the family flits across the mind of the onlooker of the photograph in the newspaper. I am reminded of the poem, “The Man He killed” by Thomas Hardy in which he says at the time of war, a soldier kills the soldier of the enemy as a matter of duty. Otherwise, if they happen to meet in a bar, they may entertain each other even as strangers or may possibly pass on a shilling to the needy person. In that context, I want to say that the cop who has been seen holding the rod with both hands, with a view to striking the fellow being with full force, may readily donate his blood to his victim if he sees him in a critical condition in the hospital. This idea is not the figment of my imagination. I have also seen in the newspaper of the same day, a cop carrying an injured person across his shoulder after the clash between prisoners and security force in the jail at Kapurthala. This sight is like a balm on the bruises of the minds of the citizens who want the rule of the law to be enforced with compassion for fellow beings. William Shakespeare says the mob has no head, meaning thereby that a mob in fury can be guided by no one. At the same time the dictum conveys that the people in such a gathering lose their thinking power. But then the point at issue is that the cops are answerable to their heads. So it does not behave them to bypass the authority while losing their heads like the mob. In a given situation they may be “willing to strike” but they should be “afraid to wound.” In the end, I quote an Urdu couplet by Amir Minai- Khanjar chale aur pe tarapte hain hum ‘Amir’

Want to buy books, wait till October 10
Ludhiana, September 29 This book depot located at the Punjabi Bhawan was locked 18 days ago as its keys are with one of its staff members, who has been on leave since September 12. Satnam Singh, district bhasha official said, “There is a shortage of staff. We have to make do with only 20 per cent technical and 30 per cent clerical staff. It is hard to manage when someone goes on leave. We will sort out the problem within one or two days.” When people come to buy books at the depot, a peon announces, “If you want to buy a book then you have to wait till the depot opens.” The state languages department, Punjab, recently republished a few of the rare books, which were in demand. Gurpreet Singh Khaksaar, a teacher from Govind National College, Narangwal, said, “I have visited the book depot thrice in the past 20 days to purchase a few books for pursuing my research work. But, I only found a lock dangling in its door.” Inder Singh Ghaga, a religious preacher said, “The languages department of other states play an integral role in promoting regional languages. But the Punjab languages department has failed to attract readers as well as researchers. A large number of valuable books are out of stock and the department lacks proper building also.” “People come here with a hope to purchase books on concession, but they return disappointed on seeing the depot locked. As the result, the department is also facing financial losses,” said an employee of the education department.

Travails of finding missing kin
Ludhiana, September 28 She had been staying in the Golden Temple, Amritsar, for the past six months. But, now, she has been asked to move out and find some work for herself. During her stay in Amritsar and Nawanshahr she came in contact of a few persons who recollected having seen her husband in Ludhiana. She is now making rounds of various police stations to lodge an FIR here. Talking to The Tribune, Rekha said: “I am a shattered. I have lost my parents and in-laws. Not a single person is there to bank upon. Since we were living in a rented accommodation in Madhya Pradesh, the landlord threw me out. I don’t know what has happened to my husband and daughter. The persons who were interested in purchasing the piece of land in Nawanshahr aren’t even aware of it and claim that they (both husband and daughter) didn’t even reach the place.” With tears in eyes, Rekha added: “I don’t know what to do or where to go. The police said since my husband left Madhya Pradesh, it couldn’t register the case there. The Nawanshahr police claims to have noted down the details. They have promised to inform me about my kin’s whereabouts, but refused to lodge an FIR.”

Power Supply
Ludhiana, September 29 The chief engineer, central zone, Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL), while interacting with industrialists expressed resentment against unscheduled power cuts, shut downs and tripping caused by overloaded and weak distribution network. This interaction was organised by the Apex Chamber of Commerce and Industry here last evening. Chamber’s president PD Sharma said the distribution network was in a shamble. The PSPCL either seems least bothered or else is reeling under resource crunch for not taking up much needed revamp of the distribution system, he added. “The industry is coping with scheduled power cuts and weekly off days as these are known in advance, but the unscheduled cuts or shut downs disturb the entire production schedule due to the element of uncertainty,” he added. He further sought uniformity in compulsory weekly off days stipulated for the industry from time to time. “Realising the scarcity of power that the state is facing, if the PSPCL is not in a position to have the same off days for the entire industry, then the least it can do is bring uniformity in industrial clusters to have same weekly off days as most of the industrial units in clusters are interdependent,” he added. The president of the chamber and numerous other representatives of the industry also focused on complaint booking and redressal mechanism, which left much to be desired. In the wake of drastic constraints in power supply to the industrial sector, it became all the more important that any disruption in power supply be rectified with a sense of urgency to save the consumers from avoidable loss of production. The members of the industry also pointed out that if off days were imposed on weekly basis, the induction furnace units and the rolling mills should not be treated at par since the rolling mills ran on very low capacity and ought to be clubbed with general industry. “Similarly, small induction furnaces used for heating and melting purposes also merit some relief in weekly off days.” The PSPCL chief engineer assured the industry that efforts would be made for bringing uniformity in off days in industrial clusters and streamline the system for booking and redressal of complaints.
