With Advani comes chaos
Ludhiana, November 13 The atmosphere was electric with local BJP workers jumping with joy and dancing on the roads. Many joined Advani’s cavalcade and burst crackers. The rath followed by a cavalcade of vehicles led to a massive traffic jam in the Daresi area. The tall claims of foolproof traffic arrangement by the police went up in smoke with overzealous BJP supports breaking the security cordon which further led to a major traffic jam. The city traffic went for a toss after the police imposed major traffic regulations for the veteran BJP leader, LK Advani's Jan Chetna Yatra earlier on Sunday. The cordoning off of all the major routes left the city residents high and dry earlier during the day. The entire Ferozepore road was out of bounds much before the arrival of the yatra. Daresi ground, the venue of the yatra was specially decked up for the occasion. Due to the high security, the residents were not allowed to enter the old city. The yatra adversely hit the business, complained the shopkeepers of the Chaura Bazar. “The traffic police imposed regulation since early morning and did not allow any vehicle to enter city. The resident were not allowed to take their vehicles in Chaura Bazar, Clock Tower and Daresi area due to which we suffered huge loss,” said Tarsem Singh, shopkeepers at Chaura Bazar. “Today I felt that we are living in an organized prison. We were not allowed to move in the Chaura Bazar due to yatra. Sunday is the only day for shopping and that too has been spoiled by the yatra,” said Reenu Rani, of Haibowal. Due to the imposition of traffic regulation the auto rickshaws were not allowed to take the vehicle inside the old city area. Many residents were seen walking towards their destination in the absence of any vehicle. Hotel booked
Advani and his daughter have been was booked in room suite 729 on the seventh floor of Hotel Fortune Klassik. As a result, the entire floor has been vacated. Guests, who were booked into other rooms on the seventh floor, have been shifted to the hotel’s eighth floor. SAD (Delhi) workers protest
SAD (Delhi) workers led by Gurdeep Singh Gosha protested against LK Advani’s yatra and termed it (the yatra) as a cheap political stunt in the wake of the forthcoming elections. “They are least bothered about corruption. The motive of the yatra is to get politicial mileage. Their party is in deep trouble in Punjab and it does not seem likely that they would win any seat in the assembly election,” said
Gosha. BJP workers fight for space
LK Advani’s visit led to chaos on stage with local BJP leaders engaging in a struggle to find space. A few entered into heated arguments. The matter was resolved following intervention by senior leaders. |

Ishmeet’s father distances himself from function
Ludhiana November 13 While Ishmeet’s mother and sister conspiciously stayed away from the inauguration function, Ishmeet’s father, Gurpinder Singh, remained aloof throughout the function. Talking to the Tribune, he said he had “no interest in the inauguration function, the government and the institute”. Gurpinder Singh was seen standing quietly away from the stage. He said he was keeping away from political limelight and other activities. Talking about the distance he maintained, Gurpinder Singh said, "I am here just for formality. My wishes are always with the institute. Being a proud father is enough for me instead of being a manager of any institute. It is our family’s decision to stay away from this institute." "We lost our son. It was the worst tragedy that could hit anybody. So, things are different for us. We feel more at peace being in the privacy of home instead of exhibiting our feeling to the entire world. Ishmeet still lives in the heart of people. He does not need any politicians to keep alive his memory,” he added. As his father kept away, Dr Charan Kamal Singh, uncle of Ishmeet Singh
and a veterinarian was trying to steal the show by participating actively in the function. He gave the inauguration speech and welcomed the Cheif Minister. Even the clipping which was screened in the presence of chief minister was highlighting Dr Charan Kamal Singh. "I am more committed to Ishmeet, this project and its progress and possibility of spotting new talent. I would request and hope from everybody including my elder brother (Ishmeet’s father) that he should bless us," said Dr Charan. ISHMEET INSTITUTE
Ishmeet Singh Music Institute has been constructed in his memory by GLADA on 2.15 acres at a cost of ~11 crore. The institute has state-of-the-art facilities that includes an auditorium with facility for videography. In addition, a recording studio, a library, an audio-software training room and separate cabins for practice have also been set up. Badal misses wife
While inagurating the institute, Badal turned nostalgic and missed his wife. He recalled how his wife, Surinder Kaur, was a fan of Ishmeet and had even made calls to different relatives and aquaintances urging them to vote for him while he was contesting the ‘Voice of India’ reality show. “She was very happy when Ishmeet won the contest,” Badal recalled. "Ishmeet was honoured following his victory in the reality show when my birthday was celebrated in Bathinda. He sang a song on my birthday," recalled
Badal.

LIT executive officer fined Rs 25,000
Ludhiana, November 13 In partial disposal of the complaint, state Information Commissioner Kulbir Singh said in his order, issued on November 11, that the amount of penalty, which was the maximum that could be provided under the Act, would be the personal liability of the EO and would be deducted from his salary. The compensation awarded to the complainant would have to be paid from the funds of the LIT before the next date of hearing. The complainant said in his petition that he sought information from the LIT on building bylaw violations in different LIT schemes from 2000 and follow-up action taken, if any, through an application filed on May 16. The commission noted that not only had the LIT authorities had failed in providing information to the complainant, but an LIT peon, Harpal Singh, had attended and marked his presence as clerk at the previous two hearings. It added that Harpal had been representing the LIT in five cases and had marked his presence at 33 hearings as clerk in all. “The commission has taken a very serious view of this action of the PIO by sending a peon to attend the hearings in the commission. This shows that the PIO is not taking the RTI Act seriously and has scant regard for the mechanism created under the RTI Act,” the Information Commissioner observed in the order. Before parting with the order, he directed the LIT authorities to provide complete information to the complainant before the next date of hearing. The case would come up for proceedings on December 16.

Rs 10 lakh cash, jewellery stolen from house
Ludhiana, November 13 According to the police, the house belongs to Laxman Singh, an NRI. While Laxman Singh is settled in West Asia, his wife Rani and children are living in the house. Rani told the police that she had gone to attend the wedding of one of her relatives in Jalandhar on November 10. The incident came to light last evening when Rani and her children returned from Jalandhar and found the entire house ransacked. A complaint in this regard was lodged with the police. A police team along with fingerprint experts visited the spot. The investigating officer said the theft seems to be the handiwork of an insider, who was aware of family’s absence. The thieves entered the house by scaling the wall. They broke open the main door and committed the theft with ease. They picked expensive cloths, jewellery and electronic appliances. The police has registered a theft case against unidentified persons. |
Pvt bus operators violate traffic rules
Jagraon, November 13 Though there is a strict ban on ferrying passengers on the roofs, private bus operators continue to violate rules with impunity. Despite the fact that many people have lost their lives while travelling on the roofs of buses, the practice is going unchecked here. One can see overloaded buses, especially during rush hours, with passengers hanging on to the doors. Most of the buses cater to the village population where other modes of transport are not available thus forcing the people to risk their lives. Bus operators claim that they do not force passengers to climb atop the roofs. “We do not force them. They risk their lives as there is no other mode of transport in these villages,” said a conductor of a private bus. Passengers on the other hand say they do not want to risk their lives by climbing atop the roofs of buses, but in order to reach their respective destinations on time, they have to do so. A large number of people who come to the city from surrounding villages everyday for their jobs rush to board buses in the evening and when they don’t get seats they climb atop the roofs. Some villagers, who often travel on bus roofs, lamented that they were forced to do so as there were a few modes of transport available. “We have to travel like this almost everyday as we have no other option. It takes just 15 to 20 minutes for us to reach our destinations and it does not really matter how we reach there,” said Inderpal Singh, a daily wager, who comes from Manuke village to Jagraon everyday for work. The villagers have demanded that more buses be plied on these routes, especially during rush hours. When contacted, Jagraon traffic in-charge Gurcharan Singh said, “We keep a regular check on buses and challan violators, but this is not a solution to the problem, as people do not have any other option to reach their respective destinations.”

Five down already, sixth starts giving way
Jagraon, November 13 On October 31, the cover of the manhole, which is situated in the middle of the College road, had caved in when a loaded tractor-trailer went over it. Despite repeated complaints of the area residents, the manhole remained uncovered for four days even as a large number of commuters use the road for reaching their respective destinations. A car also got stuck in the open manhole on October 31, but the authorities did not take the matter seriously. The new cemented cover was installed on November 4 after the issue was highlighted in these columns. But the new cemented cover, too, started caving in within a week of its installation. Residents said in the past three months, five manhole covers had caved in. Cemented covers were fixed on all 13 manholes on the College road during the laying of inter-locking tiles here more than two months ago. Residents alleged that substandard material was used by the contractor concerned while fixing inter-locking tiles. The inter-locking tiles too have started dislocating due to the use of substandard material. When contacted, MC president Baldev Krishan Dhir said he was not aware of the issue. He refuted all allegations and claimed that substandard material was not used by the contractor. He assured the residents of doing the needful.

Hosiery manufacturers, retailers worried
Ludhiana, November 13 Manufacturers maintain that retailers in other states have been demanding woollens, but demand and sales have not picked up north of Delhi. Sudershan Jain of Sarjeevan Knitwears says retailers and manufacturers are worried, but it is too early to say anything. He says, “Buyers have not started making purchases. One reason is that the biting cold has not set in. In case of rain, the temperature will fall and sales be pick up.” He has claimed that retailers in Delhi are worried as woollens from Bangladesh are being supplied at competitive rates. Another reason for the poor sales is the exhorbitant rates of sweaters, jackets and other woollens this season. Manufacturers maintain that prices of yarn have increased. Another manufacturer, Atul Kumar, has said a sweater available for less than Rs 1,000 past year is priced at Rs 1,400 or more at retail shops this time round. Seeing the increase in prices, buyers are reluctant in making bulk purchases, he says. A salesman at a retail showroom says there are just a few buyers this time round. “The season was excellent past year. It has been dull so far. Buyers purchase woollens for children, but not for themselves. Maybe they are waiting for colder days,” he adds.

‘Comprehensive evaluation has improved CBSE results’
November, Ludhiana 13 He was in the city to attend the annual day function of Sacred Heart Convent School, Sarabha Nagar. A few days ago Education Minister Sewa Singh Sekhwan said the state government had written a letter to the Centre asking it to exempt Punjab from implementing the Act till 2013, as the infrastructure needed to be upgraded in schools. Talking about the Comprehensive Continuous Evaluation (CCE), he said, “I have got a feedback from schoolteachers that the CCE was overburdening them. The problem has been created by their own bent of mind. They do not want to work and use their potential to utmost efforts. It is human psychology to stay away from hard work. The more we work, the more we improve. With the CCE, the results of CBSE have improved a lot and now there is no competition of marks among students.” When asked why a cross-curriculum approach was not being followed by the CBSE, he replied, “It is a good suggestion and can be forwarded to the curriculum committee of the board.” Cross-curriculum approachWith the cross-curriculum approach, extra burden of Comprehensive Continuous Evaluation can be reduced. For instance, a school can follow one theme per term and on the basis of that theme various activities can be conducted which can be incorporated through various subjects. For example, on the subject of pollution, a graph can be prepared which covers mathematics in some way. A debate can also be held on the subject.

Surfing at cyber cafe a thing of the past
Ludhiana, November 13 Meanwhile, cyber café owners have increased the surfing charges as the number of customers has decreased. A few café owners charge anything from Rs 60 to Rs 80 for one hour. There was a time when one could see a number of cyber cafes in the city. Despite the high cost of getting Internet service from the ISPs (Internet Service Provider), cafe owners made a healthy profit. Orkut, Yahoo and Facebook lovers helped the business boom. With the increasing popularity of Internet connections, the rush at the cyber cafés has cut down to some extent. With mobile browsing on smart phones becoming a hot favourite with youngsters, cafe owners suffered losses. A café owner on the Firozepur road, who has now started selling glass and sanitary goods, said, “We shut down the business a few months ago. Our cafe was very popular among students and we had good infrastructure. Earlier, a large number of people used to come to cafés, but now only a few turn up.” Another owner having a shop at Model Town Extension, said, “With Internet connections gaining popularity, not many prefer coming to cyber cafés. But as our shop is opposite a college, we witness a huge turnout everyday.” Gurjot, a student of nursing college in Shastri Nagar, said, “We go to cafes to get photocopies of our assignments or when our systems crash.”

Sahir’s friend Ajaib Chitarkar Sahir Ludhianvi was of convivial nature, the one who was sociable and friendly. He received his early education at Malwa Khalsa High School and later joined Government College, Ludhiana. During these years, he came into contact with a number of persons with whom he struck lasting friendship. Ibne Insha and Hamid Akhtar were Sahir’s contemporaries who earned, with the passage of time, prominence like him in the field of Urdu literature. Both of them shifted to Lahore after the Partition, leaving a big void in the literary ambience of the city. In the later years, Ajaib Chitarkar and Krishan Adeeb, who had been under his influence since the publication of Talkhian, formed lasting friendship with him. In the meanwhile, Sahir had shifted first to Delhi and then to Bombay to try his luck in Bollywood. Earlier, Painter Pritam Bawri, whose studio was near the Clock Tower, had provided company to the poet when he was passing through straitened circumstances. It is said that Bawri was the first person to whom the poet had recited his poem Taj Mahal which later earned great acclaim. Now Ajaib Chitarkar, poet and artist, is the only person in the city was very close to Sahir in yesteryears. He remembers the memorable day of 23rd November, 1970, when the poet visited Ludhiana to recite his poems on the occasion of Golden Jubilee celebrations of his alma mater. Sahir at one time visited Punjab Agricultural University when he as well as Krishan Adeeb had been employed there. Both of them went to Bombay at the invitation of Sahir and stayed in his bungalow Parchhaian for some days. All these events have been recorded by Krishan Adeeb in his book on Sahir-Khabon ka Shehzada. This book was rendered into Punjabi from the original Urdu by Ajaib Chitarkar. Ajaib Chitarkar is suffering these days from ailments generally associated with old age. He is a revered figure in the literary circles. He served Punjabi Ghazal Manch for a long time as its president. On Sunday, November 13 an award will be given in his name, while another one will be given at Punjabi Bhawan in the name of Dr Randhir Singh Chand, founder of the manch. On this occasion, I am reminded of Chitarkar’s poem Saraap (A curse) wherein he recalls the days of his childhood, youth and later years in a captivating manner. He considers himself a junk dealer who has stored in his heart the junk of the past years. First, he is reminded of his childhood when he learnt walking with the help of a wooden walker- There in a corner lies wooden walker It’s colour has faded and A lot of dust covers it With the help of it my childhood Learnt to take first steps. In his youth he wanted to subjugate the world that had thwarted the fulfilment of his desires. As a result of it a storm rages in his mind- This is the same armour Donning which the unbridled emotions Astride on the stead of youth Burst out like the raging storm To hold aloft the banner of victory Like Alexander. Still he was determined to win back his beloved who had estranged herself from him due to untoward circumstances- In a corner lies the pickaxe That I held like the Farhad of today To win over the love of Shireen By cutting the mountain of troubles For ushering in the stream of milk. Last of all, he recalls the sacrifices that he had made for ushering in a new era of peace, prosperity and progress- There lies the cross of Christ Nearby is placed Mansur’s gallows The world has martyred me Many times on these structures.

Ludhiana, November 13 The police also impounded the scooter of a resident of Haibowal for breaching security. She had come to purchase medicines in the old city area hours before the “Rath yatra” was scheduled to arrive. The women identified as Yogita (28), who was accompanied by her child, parked her scooter near BL Kapur Memorial Hospital and went to purchase medicines. When she returned, she was shocked to see her scooter being towed. “I asked the cops reason behind towing of my scooter. The cop told me that I have breached security by parking the scooter in a prohibited area. They told me that the place has been cordoned off due to Advani’s visit,” Yogita added. Police sources said the action was taken following intelligence inputs that anti-social elements were trying to disrupt the rally. Hence the area was sealed and strict orders were issued to impound abandoned vehicles. The woman’s scooter was released in the evening.

Just another day at work
Ludhiana, November 13 While children across the city celebrate Children’s Day, the day has little meaning for these children, for whom every day is a workday. They shoulder responsibilities early in life, some being blissfully ignorant as they volunteer to work and others pushed by their circumstances. Eleven-year-old Raju works at a garments shop in AC Market. He used to go to school, but did not like it. Ask him about Children’s Day and he shakes his head, indicating his ignorance. Abdul Talib is 12 years old. His day, distributing tea, starts at 8 in the morning. He goes back home at 8 in the evening. “I wanted to study. As money became scarce at home, I had to give up studies and start working,” he said. Sarvan Kumar serves water to guests and does all the cleaning at a shop. He earns Rs 1,500 a month, but this is enough to support his family of six, including three siblings. He had to give up studies following financial constraints. Ask him about Children’s Day and a smile lightens up his face. “I know that it is ‘Bal Divas’. We used to celebrate it at school.” Sadness immediately follows as it will be a day at work, as usual, for him.
