Novel protest: ETT teachers to follow CM wherever he goes
Jalandhar, October 2 Despite the fact that formal orders on the front have been issued to 6,000 teachers by the government, none of them have been shifted to the education department so far. Irked by the government’s inaction, the union has held repeated protests and dharnas. In the meeting today, union members decided a novel way of protesting - following the CM on his visits, wherever he goes. From October 8 onwards, they will embark on this mode of protest. Interestingly, during the union’s last (bare-busted) protest, on September 28, the government had given in to another of the union’s vital demand - of the constitution of a directorate for the teachers not covered under the shifting orders. Though the CM had agreed to the demand of the setting up of the directorate, talking to The Tribune, state leader of the union, Ranjit Singh Bath said though we wanted that 2,600 head teachers (HT) and 1,200 (CHT) centre head teachers be moved to the directorate, only 618 HTs and 263 CHTs have received the green signal so far. Other demands like changing of the salary head of the teachers and issuance of CBS accounts to teachers also remain pending until now.

Police chiefs of Punjab, Chandigarh
and Delhi are trainees of Lalit Bhatia
Chandigarh, October 2 It was during his stint at the then Police Training College, Phillaur - now Maharaja Ranjit Singh Police Training Academy - that BK Gupta, Police Commissioner, Delhi, Pradeep Srivastava, Inspector General of Police, Chandigarh and Anil Kaushik, Director General of Police, Punjab, reported for training after their appointment at the Indian Police Service in 1975-1976. “I was not only reviewing their parade every morning, but also teaching them the Service Manual. During those years, Service Manual was not taught to the IPS probationers at the Lal Bahadur Shastri Police Academy. Instead, most of them used to come to PTC, Phillaur, for training,” Bhatia said, who has now settled down at Patiala. Incidentally, Bhatia was the topper among the Punjab officers belonging to the 1970 batch of the IPS. His other batch mates were SC Jain, DR Bhatti, GS Aujla and MPS Aulakh, who all retired as DGPs. Both GS Aujla and MPS Aulakh had got their cadres changed to the Punjab Cadre. Bhatia, who specialises in police rules and cyber crime, now lectures at various police training schools and academies. His last posting was DGP, Vigilance, Punjab State Electricity Board. Meanwhile, Anil Kaushik, the senior most IPS officer belonging to the Punjab cadre, has become the fourth officer to head the Punjab Police during the current SAD-BJP Government in the state. Soon after taking over, the SAD-BJP Government recalled NPS Aulakh, younger of Aulakh brothers, from the Central deputation to head the state police. He later moved to the Central deputation again after his appointment as the Director General as the elite, NSG KK Attri, replaced him. When KK Attri retired, the SAD-BJP Government took on inter-state deputation from Jammu and Kashmir to head the state police. On his superannuation now, Anil Kaushik has become the head of the Punjab police with his immediate predecessor being elevated as the Adviser, Home. Anil Kaushik has exactly a year to go for his
superannuation. |

The ETT Teachers Union Punjab today held a meeting at the Desh Bhagat Yadgaar Hall to emphasise upon their long-pending demand of shifting of teachers under Zila Parishad to the Education Department.
National executive member and senior BJP leader Manoranjan Kalia today paid tributes to Mahatma Gandhi and former Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri at the birth anniversaries of both the leaders.
For Lalit Bhatia, former Director General of Police, the appointment of Anil Kaushik as the new chief of the Punjab police must have warmed the cockles of his heart. Belonging to the 1970 batch of the Indian Police Service, Bhatia enjoys the distinction of remaining one time teacher-cum-trainer of the present day police chiefs of Punjab, Chandigarh and Delhi.
