Campaign message fine, but spirit lacking
Ludhiana, October 20 The mela is being organised by the tourism and cultural affairs department to create awareness among people about social evils like foeticide and pollution. However, the authorities are sending out a contradictory message by killing saplings. Harsimrat Kaur will give a speech to save trees on the occasion and Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal will be the chief guest while finance minister Upinderjit Kaur will inaugurate the function. The saplings were planted by the forest department two months ago in the college. The authorities pitched tents on the college ground for stalls and the saplings were uprooted when a carpet was rolled out on the ground. “Politicians often come to the campus and give lengthy speeches on environment, plantation and foeticide. But the ground realities are different. In reality, no one cares for saplings and daughters,” said a student.
‘What can we do?’
A month ago, we had written a letter to the college to ensure the safety of saplings during the festival season as the college organises several events on its grounds. The college did not bother about it. If someone had damaged the saplings outside the college boundary, we would have penalised them. but if the government is organising the event, what can we
do?

Octogenarian shoots daughter-in-law
Khanna, October 20 Jagar Singh, a former peon with the excise department, opened fire at his daughter-in-law Amritpal Kaur with his licensed .12 bore rifle and fired two shots in her chest. The SP (D), Khanna, Balwinder Singh, said the family of the accused used to have arguments often and Jagar Singh held his daughter-in-law responsible for it. Yesterday, when he saw Amritpal Kaur arguing with her son, he went to his room in a huff and returned with his rifle and shot her. After hearing the shots, the husband of the deceased ran towards her to save her. Seeing him, the accused opened fire on his son also, but he saved himself by taking cover behind a wall. The SP said when the police reached the spot, the accused had fled. The octogenarian took this step in a fit of rage. He had the rifle for the last 20 years and he had never misused it, the police said.

9 pollution centres found cutting corners
Ludhiana, October 20 Of the 35 PUC centres checked by the officials, nine were found issuing pollution under control certificates without even checking vehicles. The PPCB had conducted a survey in the city on October 14, where ambient air quality samples from the bus stand, Bharat Nagar Chowk, Jagraon Bridge, Samrala Chowk and Dholewal Chowk were taken. It was found that the Jagraon Bridge area was one of the most polluted parts of the city, where 348 microgram/m3 of air was found to be polluted during the day. This figure is three times more that the national ambient air quality standards, which is 100 micrograms/m3. PPCB senior environmental engineer Karunesh Garg said the surprise check was
conducted after it was found that the extent of vehicular pollution in the city was very high. “Shockingly, nine PUC centres were issuing pollution check certificates without checking vehicles. But even more shocking was that the machines at some centres were not even working and they were still issuing certificates,” he said. Defaulting pollution check centres n

Justice has been done: Kamaljeet’s kin
Ludhiana, October 20 “Justice has been done,” said the kin of Kamaljeet Singh, who was shot from point blank range at a taxi stand office in Upkar Nagar by Suraj Ahluwalia three years ago. The news of his conviction by the Sessions Court brought cheer on the face of Gurjinder, Kamaljeet’s cousin who was present in court when the judgment was pronounced. For Amar Singh, father of Kamaljeet, Suraj Ahluwalia was like a family member. “Happy, Kamaljeet and Suraj were good friends and used to visit the houses of one another. I never thought that Happy and Suraj could kill my son,” he said wiping his tears. Kamaljeet used to return late at night and the trio would often drink together. Inderjeet, brother of the victim, said: “Suraj used to boast about his security guard and his weapon. I had warned him not to indulge in such activities and stay grounded. I had an inkling that Suraj would kill my brother one day.” The victim’s mother Balbir Kaur could not bear the shock and has been suffering from a heart ailment since his murder. “I was planning to get him married. But the killers snatched him away at the fag-end of my life. Why did they kill my son? He had not harmed them. Why was he shot brutally? Finally, justice has been done,” said an inconsolable Balbir Kaur. |

Women in rat race to look thin
Ludhiana, October 20 Dr Rajiv Gupta, a city-based psychiatrist, said, “Not only adolescents but married women are also taking part in the rat race. Such patients either start starving themselves or induce vomiting after overeating. This has become a common phenomenon among women who enjoy kitty parties or love to attend social functions. Unable to control their taste buds, they eat all spicy and fried stuff and then induce vomiting fearing that it might make them fatter.” Dr Rajiv Gupta said: “I treat two to four such patients daily. Most of them suffer from three types of diseases, namely anorexia nervosa -in which patient has tendency to lose weight and start inducing vomiting. While some suffer from obsessive-compulsive disorder. In it, patients keep doing same work again and again like washing hands and induced vomiting. However, a few of them also come under the category of “maladjusted people”-who get happiness after eating but then vomit everything.” All this helps in keeping them mentally active, but too thin. The women and girls indulging in this are perhaps not aware of its ill effects.

Assault
Case Vows to root out corruption from food dept Mohit Khanna Tribune News Service
Ludhiana, October 20 The development took place after the sexagenarian moved the Punjab State Human Right Commission (PSHRC) for seeking justice in the case. Following his complaint, the PSHRC ordered an independent probe into the matter. The probe was handed over to a senior IPS officer. In charge of the Sarabha Nagar police station reinvestigated the matter and absolved Khurana from the assault charges. The cancellation report states that the charges against the 60-year-old cancer patient, who is physically challenged, as his left hand and jaw don’t work, were found to be false. He was charged for allegedly thrashing a ration depot owner with a cane. Heaving a sigh of relief following the cancellation of an FIR Khurana said: “I had no inkling that I would have to pay such a heavy price for applying for a new ration card.” The problem started after the ration depot owner refused to register his form. “I smelled a rat and came to know that the ration depot owner has made fake entries. I sought information in this regard from the Food and Civil Supplies Department regarding the total number of beneficiaries. But this rattled ration depot owner who begin harassing me.” The Information Commission took up Khurana’s complaint for hearing on August 6, 2010, and the commission asked the then Punjab DGP for an immediate enquiry into the allegations. “Following the hearing, I came to know that I was booked four months ago in an assault case. They implicated me in a case so that I could not lay bare the scam in the Food and Civil Supply Department,” said Khurana. As soon as Khurana returned home after attending hearing on August 6, a police party raided his house and told him that a case has been registered against him. “I was arrested and taken to the police station. I was released after furnishing a bail bond of Rs 25,000,” he said. He added, “Now that the charges against me have been found to be false, I would again launch a crusade against the corrupt employees working in the District Food and Civil Supply Department.”

22 trained in prawn farming at GADVASU

Freshwater prawn farming is gaining popularity in India due to huge domestic and international demands, said Dr Asha Dhawan, Dean, College of Fisheries.

The GADVSU is trying hard tp address these problems so as to make prawn farming popular in the state. Dr Akhil Gupta, Assistant Professor (Fisheries) and the coordinator of the training programme, briefed the trainees about the care of post-larvae, role of supplementary feed and better managerial practices to boost prawn production.

Shun crackers this Diwali, urges youth association
Ludhiana, October 20 Gurinder Chahal, president of the NGO, said for most people, crackers were the highlight of Diwali. But little did people realise that in thickly populated and highly polluted cities like Ludhiana, the temporary joy of watching crackers burst wreaked havoc on environment. The toxic substances in crackers released toxic gases that were harmful to health. Also, the high noise level generated by the crackers caused immense suffering to birds and animals. Not only this, crackers were dreaded by those who were ailing. Dr Karandeep Singh Kochar, an ENT specialist, said the toxic substances and other chemicals that went in the manufacture of crackers could lead to several temporary health problems and over the period to many chronic diseases like irritation in the respiratory tract, anaemia and damage to kidney, nervous disorders, hearing impairment and allergic skin conditions. NGO joint secretary JB Singh said the sustained drive against crackers had evoked a good response and the sale of crackers in the city had reportedly declined by 20 to 30 per cent. “However, a lot more is still to be done and relentless efforts have to be made to save the environment,” he said.

Osteoporosis Day Anupam Bhagria Tribune News Service
Ludhiana, October 20 Dr RS Sodhi, head of the orthopaedic department and Medical Superintendent of Shri Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital, said: “In the recent years, I have seen that city adolescents -- between the ages of 11 and 18 years --- are also suffering from osteoporosis. The reason is poor outdoor activity. Children only play computer games and avoid outdoor games, which are required for healthy bones. Among my patients, about 25 per cent are adolescents.” Giving reasons for osteoporosis among the elderly, Dr Ravinder Vatsayan, an ayurvedacharya, said: “Sedentary lifestyle, excessive smoking and drinking and taking low levels of dietary calcium are reasons for the bones becoming porous and brittle in old age.” He said certain digestive disorders effected the absorption of nutrients. These disorders included inflammatory bowel disease and celiac disease, long term use of steroids, thyroid disorders and autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis. Heredity predisposition was another cause of osteoporosis. “Osteoporotic conditions can be present without any symptoms for decades unless the bone fractures. Osteoporosis also does not affect the whole skeleton to an equal degree. Prevention of osteoporosis in the elderly is as important as its treatment. Unfortunately, by the time the disease is detected, nearly a quarter of the bone mass is already lost,” he said.
