Subsidy on wheat seed
Chandigarh, November 9 He said the seed would be distributed through sale centres of the Agriculture Department, Punjab Agricultural University, PUNSEED, Punjab Agro, KRIBCO and IFFCO. The PBW-550 and PBW-502 variety of seed had been procured from private growers and was being given to the farmers at Rs 1,400 per quintal with a subsidy of Rs 500 per quintal. The DBW-17 variety was being distributed at a subsidised rate of Rs 1300 per quintal, the spokesman said. The state is replacing the PBW-343 variety seed (recommended earlier) as it had been infested with the yellow rust disease, lowering the yield. However, the state had received only 300 quintals of wheatseed of HD 2967, approved by the Indian Agriculture Research Institute (IARI) for replacing the PBW-342 variety. Similarly, PAU had given the state only around 5,000 quintals of the newly developed PAU 621 variety, forcing it to fall back on the old PBW-550 and PBW- 502 varieties that are also susceptible to the yellow rus disease. Under the state government’s "Seed Village Scheme", 30,600 quintals of seed has already been distributed among selected farmers. As many as 102 villages selected under the scheme have been provided with 20 kg seed per half a hectare of land with a 50 per cent subsidy.

Day after, SSP says lineman not kicked
Jalandhar, November 9 Sukhbir, who was in Kapurthala today in connection with Kabaddi World Cup matches, said, “Let me first examine what happened there.” The Deputy Chief Minister also has the Home Affairs Department. When contacted, the Faridkot SSP said he would submit his report to the Deputy Chief Minister at the earliest. He, however, did not mention any specific time limit for it. To a query regarding whether or not any action had been taken against the DSP whose photos were carried in various newspapers today showing him kicking a lineman, the SSP said, “The DSP was not kicking the protester. In fact, he was pinning him to the ground so that he does not manage to escape.” Meanwhile, the general secretary of the Jalandhar unit of Unemployed Linemen Union, Sukhdeep Lal, demanded that the DSP should be suspended. “Action should also be taken against other police personnel who were involved in beating the linemen,” he said. Reiterating the union’s demands, Lal said the merit list for the appointment of 5,000 linemen in the Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) should be issued without any delay. Lal said the interviews for appointing linemen were held from June 13 to July 26 but even after three months, no merit list had been prepared. He claimed they had met Badal on August 22 in this regard and the Chief Minister had assured them of action but to no avail. “Therefore, we have no option but to protest,” he added.
Badal no less than Saddam, Gaddafi: Capt Chandigarh, November 9 Referring to the kicking of an unemployed lineman by a DSP who was assisted by other policemen in civilian clothes, Amarinder asked the Chief Minister, “Is this the sewa (service) you are doing to the people?” Amarinder said the worst part was that the incident happened in the presence of the Chief Minister and he did not even bother to prevent the policemen from assaulting them, leave apart condemning the incident. On the “misbehaviour” with the media and the Chief Minister trying to laugh the matter off, Amarinder said, “It only proves beyond any doubt that the policemen acted at his (the Chief Minister’s) behest.” Demanding the dismissal of the particular DSP and other cops, the PPCC president said the linemen were staging a peaceful protest and the DSP and the other cops should be put behind bars for attacking them.

Huge turnout for recruitment of women constables in Patiala
Patiala, November 9 Shedding the conservative veil of their parents and society, these girls who turned up at the rally are determined to prove themselves in the physical fitness test in progress at the local Polo Ground. While the parents of a few of them are accompanying them, the rest are on their own, eager to carve a niche and secure a berth in the final Punjab police list of selected candidates. The Patiala DSP (D) Manjit Brar, one of the core members of the recruitment process, deputed at the recruitment trials says that the girls have to run 800 metres in the stipulated four minutes, to qualify. “A majority of these girls are fit and only miss the target by a few seconds, but that is what competition is all about”, Brar says, as he cheers a group of 12 odd girls short-listed after the successful completion of the race. A majority of the girls who turned up for the recruitment drive are from rural part of Punjab and claim that they are happy that their parents are also keen for them to get selected. “The first day when I told my parents that I was going to apply for the constable’s post, they were not shaken as I had thought they would. And instead, they asked my brother to accompany me”, claimed a candidate from Dakala village. With the minimum qualification being a height of five feet, three inches, the girls are required to clear a physical endurance test, in addition to minimum educational qualification. In addition, a salary structure of over Rs 12,000 is up for grabs, and a government job guarantee for backup, girls are willing to give their best shot to qualify for the post. The SSP, Patiala, Gurpreet Singh Gill said that a majority of the girls are from poor families and the amount of transparency in the recent recruitments has completely changed the people’s perspective towards these jobs. “Every girl now believes that if she is competent and qualified, she can get selected without any prejudice”, Gill told The Tribune.

Woman’s kidney goes missing 'post-surgery'
Jalandhar, November 9 Sanjogita, a 45-year-old woman, a resident of Friends Colony in Phagwara, who found her right kidney missing, had recently complained of abdominal pain. Doctors advised her to undergo tests and it was discovered that her kidney was missing although her kidney was clearly seen in the abdominal scans performed on her prior to the surgery. The shocking case came to light today when her husband, Harish Kumar, a smalltime transporter addressed the media here today. "My wife was admitted to a hospital on the evening of July 22. She underwent a scan and was diagnosed to be suffering from gall bladder sludge. But the next day (July 23), I went home to get some stuff. When I came back I saw that that the hospital surgeon had already taken my wife Sanjogita Devi to be operated upon without even informing me about it." Kumar said when his wife was brought out of the operation theatre she was bleeding profusely and the doctor advised that she be taken to the Dayanand Medical College and Hospital (DMC), Ludhiana. He said he left the hospital in a hurry due to his wife’s serious condition and so he did not even ask for a receipt for the treatment. "Her state was so serious then, I had thought she won’t survive. We had no hope for her survival. He said at the DMC hospital doctors were befuddled by the ‘strange’ gall bladder surgery." "Her state stabilised there after 15 to 20 days, after which I took her home," said Harish. He said she constantly complained of a pain which was unusual after such operations. So they went for a scan at the Mohan Scanning Centre on October 22, where it was found in the reports a few days later that her right kidney was missing. While the scans conducted at the Inder Scans and Diaganostic Centre (dated May 20) and those of the Guru Nanak Mission Hospital Dhahan Kaleran, (June 4) reveal, "Both kidneys are normal in size," the scan reports at the Mohan Scanning Centre, dated October 24 say "Right Kidney is not seen in right Renal Fossa." Interestingly, the scans at The DMC Hospital, Ludhiana, dated August 6 (some days after the operation) also say, "Right Kidney - It is not seen in renal fossa." While Harish has no evidence to prove his wife was admitted and operated upon in a Phagwara hospital, the name of the hospital is there on the blood requisition form of the Blood Bank, Phagwara, from where two units of blood were arranged for Sanjogita on July 23. While Harish says the incision on his wife’s abdomen is long enough to indicate that the kidney has been taken out, the doctor said the patient never went to him.

Akali Dal accuses Cong of stalling development works
Malout (Muktsar), Nov 9 Badal, who was here for a Sangat Darshan programme, said he had “personally requested Manmohan Singh to inaugurate the Virasat-E-Khalsa at Anandpur Sahib as he wanted that such a historic project be dedicated to the nation by an eminent personality of his stature”. However, the state Congress leadership, owing to their “vested interests”, allegedly sabotaged the Prime Minister’s visit and dissuaded him from coming to the state. Badal said it clearly indicated that the entire Congress leadership was bent upon stalling the development process in Punjab. Asking the Congress leadership to desist from “politicking” at the level of the Prime Minister whose realm was not restricted to any political party, the Chief Minister claimed he was a votary of morality in politics and was against any sort of discrimination. “But, my doors are open for everybody and even Congress MLAs or MPs cam approach me for getting developmental works executed. The Congress leaders must know that like PM, the CM also belongs to the entire state and they can approach me anytime,” he said. Badal claimed that unprecedented development had taken place during the current regime of the SAD-BJP alliance government. He claimed it was for the first time a master plan had been formulated for developing cities for which a sum of Rs 4,000 crore had been earmarked.

Bajwa backs Capt’s claim to CM’s post
Capt Amarinder achieved a victory of sorts yesterday at Nadala in the Bholath constituency where Gurdaspur MP Partap Singh Bajwa, also a claimant for the top post, claiming that the party would return to power and that Amarinder would be the Chief Minister. Questioned on his statement later, Bajwa said there was a need to project a single leader as the chief ministerial candidate to remove any confusion on this score when the Akalis and the Congress were arraigned in a tough electoral battle in rural areas. The Congress leader said he was aware that the party did not declare its chief ministerial candidate before the elections but “ it will be better to project Amarinder as the unanimous choice of the party for the top post.” Though Capt Amarinder was appointed PCC chief in October last year, there has been persistent speculation in party circles that the post of CM is still open. Senior leaders Jagmeet Brar, Rajinder Kaur Bhattal and Partap Bajwa, all claimants to the top post, are known to be one when it comes to challenging Amarinder’s authority. Bajwa’s statement is set to change equations. Sources said Bajwa felt cornered in the Majha region with a majority of ticket hopefuls firmly aligned with Capt Amarinder. Supporting Amarinder will give Bajwa some leeway in the Majha region where he wants to be projected as a regional satrap. Forthcoming public rallies are set to further strengthen Amarinder’s hold on the party with senior leaders already projecting him as the future CM. Potential challengers have become wary of striking any discordant note.

Govt withdraws grants to villages supporting PPP
At the Chief Minister’s Sangat Darshan programme here yesterday, over 60 sarpanches of various panchayats in Faridkot assembly constituency had been invited to receive funds for various projects. Grants worth Rs 5 crore were to be given. But within a few minutes of distribution of cheques among the sarpanches, those associated with Manpreet’s PPP were told to return them to the district authorities. Aman Inder Singh, Nawan Killan sarpanch, alleged that minutes after he got a Rs 9 lakh cheque for various development projects in the village, he was told to return it. “An Akali leader complained against me to Punjab CM that I was a supporter of Manpreet Badal and had attended the Dhudike rally of Sanjha Morcha’s on November 6. So, instant orders to withdraw the cheque were issued,” he said. “As I am identified as a supporter of Manpreet Badal and once an Akali leader in Faridkot revealed this fact to the CM, immediate directions were issued to me to return the cheque,” said Iqbal Singhm, sarpanch of Bholuwala village. Lakhbir Singh Arianwala, District Planning Board chairman, however, claimed the cheques were withdrawn following complaints by co-villagers of the sarpanches regarding non-utilisation of the grants for developmental works.

Government okays proposal for ‘Greening Authority’
Chandigarh, November 9 Punjab is among the states with the lowest forest cover, a mere 6 per cent whereas the national policy is to have at least 33 per cent of land under forest or tree cover. The area under natural forests in the state is about 4 per cent. Over the years, people have cut trees to bring more and more area under cultivation to grow more
foodgrain. “We are much concerned at the depleting forest cover over the past few decades”, said
Bhandari. “At present various departments-Forest Department, improvement trusts, municipal committees/corporations and the Punjab Urban Development and
(PUDA- and some NGOs and religious organisations are engaged in tree plantation”, he said. However, there was no coordination among them. The ‘Greening Authority’ would act as a coordinator, from planting saplings to post-plantation care, he said

Spectacular air show marks silver jubilee celebrations of Army Aviation Corps
Patiala, November 9 In a daring display, Cheetah, Chetak and Dhruv helicopters were flown to demonstrate various capabilities in support of the Army and civil administration. The show also included an impressive fly past by all types of aircraft held by the Indian Army. Chief of Staff (COS), Western Command, Lt Gen Baljeet Singh, who was also present during the show, lauded the spectacular contribution made by this young fledgeling arm over the last 25 years. As a part of the silver jubilee celebrations of the Army Aviation Corps, the Northen Command has organised such air shows at Nagrota and Eastern Command at Misamari in the first week of this month. While the South Western Command has planned an air show at Bathinda on November 12, the Central Command at Lucknow on November 11 and the Southern Command at Jodhpur on November 14. The Army Aviation Corps has its origin in World War II, when the army pilots flew small unarmed aircraft like Austers and Tiger Moths for reconnaissance and direction of artillery fire. The first Indian air observation flight was raised at Ranchi in August, 1947. Gradually, the air observation flights expanded and the Indo-Pak wars of 1965 and 1971 proved to be fields and skies of glory for this tiny band of winged warriors. Their contribution in the famous battle of Longewala added a new dimension to the phrase "unarmed into battle". On November 1, 1986, the Army Aviation Corps was born with the transfer of all air observation post assets from the Air Force to the Army.

Junior doctors observe three-hour strike
Patiala, November 9 Talking to The Tribune, Dr Ashish Jangir said: “We had given an ultimatum of seven days to the higher authorities but our demands have still not been redressed. Even after a three-hour strike today, we have not received any positive response from the higher authorities. So we have been forced to take an extreme step in the form of an indefinite strike from tomorrow onwards, till our demands are met," he added. He further said that they would not be available for any emergency duties in either in OPDs or operation theatres. “While our counterparts in other states are being paid well for their services, the existing stipend for junior residents is very less in Punjab.

The students would have to log on to www.ptuexams.com to put in their request. “The request would be forwarded to the concerned college for getting their NOC. Once the NOC has been sent, a confirmation would be sent to the student on his mail. After another three days of processing, the requested document would be dispatched to the applicant”, he elaborated on the process. The university also decided to give a golden chance to the students who have not been able to complete their degree within the stipulated time frame. As per the norms, the degree completion time is double the duration for any degree, for instance, it is eight years for a four-year degree. “However, there are nearly 500 students who have not been able to complete the degree even in this extended period.

Paddy scam: Clean chit to district controller, 7 others
Ferozepur, November 9 The court of Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Karnail Singh has accepted the application.The next date of hearing has been fixed for December 9, 2011. Crime branch DSP Balraj Singh said there were certain discrepancies in the investigation. It had now been found that the department officials had no role in the scam. In fact, the DFSC had detected the scam and lodged a police case. It was the accused rice millers who had “influenced” the police into implicating the department officials in the case with the help of local politicians. The police had earlier filed a challan against the DFSC and some rice millers without recovering the missing paddy. However, a few weeks back, the High Court stayed the framing of charges against the DFSC. At least, 1,92,973 bags of paddy belonging to Pungrain are still missing. The crime branch had arrested Sukhdev Singh, owner of Punjab Rice Mill, in August this year. Following vital clues from the latter on the missing paddy, the investigating officer had procured the arrests warrants for councillor Zora Singh, Kirpal Singh and Mangal working as a munshi in Punjab Rice Mill. However, they are yet to be arrested. The DFSChad lodged an FIR naming owners of Noor Rice Mill Satwinder Singh, Inderneel Singh and his wife Devinder Kaur in the scam. Deputy Director, Food Supply, Jaswinder Singh conducted an inquiry into this scam, summoning the record of several rice mills, but failed to recover the missing paddy. Sukhdev Singh claimed that he had provided vital clues on the missing paddy to his seniors but none was wiling to believe him. The crime branch is now looking to attaching the properties of the accused .

Speaker earns HC’s ire
Chandigarh, November 9 Taking exception, the High Court has minced no words to say that it saw a deliberate attempt to defy the orders. The Bench has warned of contempt proceedings in the matter. The standoff came on a petition filed by Ramesh Chand against the Punjab Vidhan Sabha and three other respondents. In his application placed before the Bench of Justice Permod Kohli, Chand has sought directions for staying an order by the Superintendent in the Vidhan Sabha secretariat’s (establishment branch) dated November 2. Chand has claimed that the under-secretary’s charge, vide the order, has been taken back from him in “gross violation of the status quo order dated October 13”. Justice Kohli observed: “It is alleged in the application that the order of status quo was duly communicated to the Secretary, Punjab Vidhan Sabha. From the order dated November 2, it also appears that the Speaker was apprised of the order passed by this court and despite that a direction has been issued that the order of the High Court will be taken into consideration after the decision of the LPA (letters patent appeal)”. Justice Kohli added: "This clearly demonstrates a deliberate attempt on the part of the Speaker to defy the order of this court with impunity without resorting to any legal remedy. A duty was cast upon the Secretary, Punjab Vidhan Sabha, to apprise the Speaker regarding the direction of the court”. Issuing a notice on the application, the Bench added: "We take exception to the manner in which disrespect has been shown to the rule of the law. Before initiating any further proceedings, including contempt, we direct the state counsel to seek instructions and ensure that the dignity of the court and the majesty of law is maintained". Before parting with the order, the Bench asserted: “We hope that the order of status quo passed by this court shall be respected by the concerned”. The case will now come up for further hearing on November 16.
