UT Council takes up key issues today
Chandigarh, February 8 Sources in the Administration revealed that in view of increasing vehicles in the city, the authorities had come up with the recommendation that the buyers had to prove beforehand that they had parking space before the purchase of vehicle. Officials said as there was an acute shortage of parking space in commercial and residential areas in the city, this proposal had been mooted by the authorities. The MC is also planning to increase the parking fee five times to manage the heavy rush of vehicles in commercial parking lots. A senior official of the UT Administration said the Municipal Corporation authorities had been avoiding imposing house tax for the past two years for which a number of reminders had been given to them. The official said under the JNNRUM, the MC would have to impose 2 per cent of house tax to avail the grant-in-aid for a number of ongoing projects, but the MC had not tabled the issue in the General House meeting so far. The proposal of imposing house tax would also be discussed at the meeting. The tax structure in the city reflects in the living standards. Chandigarh has a high per capita income, so it should be expected to pay a viable tax, said a resident of Sector 7. Officials said the council would also finalise the decision about the construction of under passes, multi-level parking, mass rapid transport system and master plan of the city. Sources said the authorities were thinking about preparing a report about the comparative study of a number of vehicles and the capacity of the roads of the city. Officials said for the propagation of solar energy in the city, theauthorities would also table the solar city project to maximise the use of solar energy by the department concerned of the UT Administration. It would also earmark land for the setting up of infrastructure for solar plants.

Tension at GMSH-16 after baby’s death
Chandigarh, February 8 The hospital authorities refuted the allegations and claimed that the child was “brought dead”. According to the baby’s father, Guddu Tewari, a resident of Kajheri, they had gone to the medical dispensary at Ramdarbar in the morning to get the child vaccinated. He claimed that at the dispensary the doctor who administered the vaccine to the baby boy advised them to give him paracetamol in case of fever. Tewari, who hails from Jagdishpura village, Bihar, said they subsequently went to Sector 17 for shopping, where the child started vomiting. “They immediately rushed him to Sector 16 hospital at about 3.30 pm, but no doctor attended him for almost half an hour,” he alleged. Tewari said the hospital staff delayed the issuance of the card and his repeated requests to doctors to attend the child did not yield any result. When contacted, Dr Rajesh Dheer, officiating Deputy Medical Superintendent (DMS), denied any negligence on part of the hospital and said the child was brought dead. “The child had died due to “aspiration of milk”, which was revealed after tube was put inside lungs,” he said. He said he was informed by the emergency medical officer (EMO) that “rigor mortis” had already developed when the child was brought to hospital. He said when the doctor concerned declared him dead, the family took away his body from the hospital and returned after two hours around 7 pm and blamed the hospital for the child’s death.
There was no negligence on part of the hospital. The child was brought dead. It had died due to ‘aspiration of milk’, which was revealed after a tube was put inside his
lungs. - Dr Rajesh Dheer, officiating Deputy Medical Superintendent, GMSH-16

“White coat syndrome or anxiety and stress caused in some people when meeting a doctor can result in blood pressure getting elevated. Such persons should relax and wait in the reception area of a clinic or hospital for about half-an-hour before getting their blood pressure checked. Also, one should not start on medication just based on one or two readings.

‘Safai abhiyans’ fail to keep town clean
Mohali, February 8 A number of “safai abhiyans” conducted by the civic body authorities from time to time have failed to satisfy the residents who often allege that the sanitation contractors are hand in glove with council concerned employees and fail to work according to the terms of the agreement. Heaps of garbage, dry leaves, and garden waste are a common sight in the town. Even the footpaths along the main roads can be seen strewn with filth and polythene bags. The council, at present, has three chief sanitary inspectors and five sanitary inspectors. The civic body has even failed to register complaints of residents at the four centres set up in this regard. Such complaint centres have become non-functional over the past many months. Kuljeet Kaur, resident of Phase III A, said that sanitation was poor in the area. The safai sewaks come to clean the roads, whenever, they feel like and not on a regular basis. Dry leaves collected by them along the main roads were often set on fire creating pollution in violation of the norms. Sanitary inspectors of the civic body were rarely seen checking the work of contractors in the town, said SS Barnala, former municipal councilor. Administrator of the council JC Sabharwal, however, said that he had ordered the sanitary inspectors to make the four complaint centres functional immediately. The complaint centre for zone I would be located in Sadar Octroi post, for zone 2 in the Rose Garden, for zone three in the Silvi Park and for zone 4 in the office of water works at the Phase VII industrial area. Sanitary inspectors had been asked to be present for an hour in the complaint centres to register the grievances of the residents and ensure that these were addressed, added Sabharwal. He said penalties had been imposed on the contractors for engaging inadequate number of safai sewaks. A sum of Rs 62,000 was deducted from their payments in December and another Rs 62,000 was deducted in January. The town has been divided in four zones for cleaning purposes. Zone one consists of Phases I, II, III , IV and VI, Zone two of Phases III A , III B 1, III B 2 , VII and VIII, Zone three has Phases IX to XI ,Sector 48 C and Industrial Area, Phase IX. Sectors 70, 71, Phase V and industrial are Phases VII and VIII fall in Zone four.

MC for turning open spaces into parking lots
Chandigarh, February 8 The official said past year, the corporation chalked out a plan to identify open spaces as per the requirement of each sector, which could be converted into community parking lots.
As per the records of the MC, the city had about 1,600 small parks. It had been proposed that an open space be earmarked, which could be converted into a parking lot for a cluster of 50 houses. The official revealed that around 200 cars were getting registered in the city everyday, which obviously meant an increase in demand of parking space in commercial and residential areas. Every year, the MC was increasing commercial parking lots in various sectors as per the requirement, but except community parking at Sector 19, no other project had been approved till date.

Proposal for CCTV turned down
Zirakpur, February 8 But the proposal did not find a favour with the local government of Punjab. Sources in Zirakpur MC Office stated that the council had sent a proposal for installing the CCTVs for approval of the local government. An amount of Rs 9 lakh would be spent on the project. But the government had not accepted it and replied that the funds for the police functioning were arrogated from the different head, official added. On January 26, 2011, the council along with the police department had conducted a meeting and planned to install the CCTV cameras, equipped with latest technology, at more than 20 sensitive points in the town. During the meeting, it was decided that a private company would be hired to install the cameras and funds would be spent by the police department as well as the Municipal Council, sources added. A control room would be set up at the Zirakpur police station and its working would be monitored by the Station House Officer (SHO). A senior council official stated that the matter would be discussed in the council meeting after the code of conduct will over by the Election Commission.
CCTV cameras installed at police station

Seizures common among minors, says study
Chandigarh, February 8 While the prevalence rate of seizures among children in urban areas was 9 per 1,000, it was 16 per 1,000 in rural areas. The prevalence of epileptic attacks was 6.24, though no figures were available on the national level. Various studies indicated that 5 per 1,000 person suffered from this disorder. The worldwide prevalence of epilepsy was about 7 per 1,000 in children. Explaining the difference between epilepsy and seizures, Dr Singhi said most seizures were febrile, which were associated only with fever, Epilepsy was the result of multiple seizures or fits, with at least two occurring without immediate cause. Dr Singhi explained, “Epilepsy is related to the brain. The level of electromagnetic waves sent from one part of the brain to the other and the rest of the body or the chemical balance get disturbed. As a result, waves or the imbalance cause stay in a part for a longer period, causing disturbance.” Dr Singhi said many people considered epilepsy a kind of a mystical problem and not a disease. Even the educated in cities put a black shoe near a patient’s nose whenever an epileptic attack occurred. An epileptic attack would last between two and three minutes and some for a shorter duration. By the time a shoe or a black thread was used, the person would have already recovered, making people believe that the superstition worked. Mild epilepsy could turn chronic due to delay in treatment. Dr Singhi said, “People ignore initial symptoms, as a result of which the condition is aggravated.” Proper treatment was the only cure. What to do...
And what not?

Perfect picture of poor upkeep
Chandigarh, February 8
There were heaps of garbage at a park in Sector 32 for the past several days. A retired bureaucrat living in the vicinity of the area said a wedding function was organised at the park a couple of days back. Paper foils and eatables lied scattered on the ground, he rued. He was unhappy that the area had not been cleaned, leading to unpleasant sight and smell. A park near the Attawa chowk at Sector 42 had not been repaired after digging work had been carried out more than two months back. Tarsem Lal, a local resident, said it had become a parking area for tractors and trolleys. People had been throwing garbage in the park, which remained there for days together, he added. The railing around a public park at Sector 46 was in a pitiable state because of the negligence of residents and the poor upkeep of the authorities concerned. The concrete wall had been broken at many places and attempts had been made to bend the iron railings, probably to steal the iron. The matter had been taken up by newly elected councillors during the previous meeting. The new councillors spoke on the poor standard of sanitation at various parks in the city.

university Aspersions cast on inclusion of Senators in unfair means committee Sumedha Sharma Tribune News Service
Chandigarh, February 8 Going by the feedback submitted by a retired judge, who had been on the UMC panel, PU Senators owing to their different stakes hamper the objectivity of the committee with their “sifarish”. “Being a part of the PU’s UMC panel was extremely shameful for me, as the cases were decided not on their legal merits, but politics of PU Senate. Though I have been offered this post again, I am in no mood to take it, as Senators walk in and give me a list of defaulters to be let off, as they are their vote banks. I would suggest that the Senators should be barred from such academic committees,” read the letter sent by this judge. “The number of incoming cases is same and conviction has reduced, so isn’t the reason obvious. Over the year, number of Senators being put in such committees has increased, decreasing the objectivity considerably. I know that it has been a decade-long practice and involvement of fellows was deemed important, as they were the key stakeholders of the university. Things, however, are not so ideal now, such committees are generally misused by those who are involved in day-to-day politics of Senate and university,” said Tasrem Bahia, a former Senator for 30 years. Interestingly, his view finds support amongst a section of current Senators who feel that its high time that politicisation of academics is dealt with. “I have been raising this issue for a while now. It’s time that we accept that Senate today is primarily about politics and in interest of students, the academic committees should be free from its impact. Anybody who stands to gain in Senate by decisions taken here should not be there,” said Senator AC Vaid. “I am not saying remove Senators completely but we should put those names whom we deal inaccessible to a large section of students and people,” agreed Rabinder Nath Sharma. PU power Senator GK Chatrath, however, claims it to be a question mark on the honesty of Senators. “Any child caught with a parchi cannot be saved even by God, leave aside Senator’s sifarish. Are you trying to say that we are all dishonest? Get me the name of a person who got a student let off and the Senate will deal with him sternly. The fellows are guardians of PU’s dignity and thus are a part of the committees,” said Chatrath. Even a senior PU official claimed that its high time Senate and Syndicate are separated from academics. “Any wrong thing that suits their interest shouldn’t be allowed to continue just because it has been on for years,” said this official.

PU teachers at warring ends
Chandigarh, February 8 “Faculty members of Panjab University came out in strong support of Prof RC Sobti by instituting a signature campaign in his favour - details of which will be sent to the University’s Chancellor and Vice-President, Dr Hamid Ansari, tomorrow. This counters the claim made by a few office-bearers of PUTA of having acted on their behalf in approaching Dr Ansari to institute an inquiry against Prof Sobti. Many faculty members expressed their angst at the manner in which institutional prestige was being jeopardised by needless controversies and questioned the timing of these news reports towards the tail end of the Vice-Chancellor’s tenure,” read the note. PUTA, meanwhile, has accused the Vice-Chancellor to be misusing
DPR office for his personal publicity. “A majority of teachers are not even aware of any such campaign and even the official note fails to state the number of teachers who participated in the campaign. In what capacity did she go ahead organising such event and sending notes? Is she PU PRO or VC PRO? We can have an open house on this issue and judge teachers mandate. We just asked inquiry into the media reports but never held the VC guilty because we have full respect for his research credentials,” said PUTA president,
Dr Akshay. While Vice-Chancellor RC Sobti could not be contacted for his comments, a senior official revealed that the signature campaign was not an official function and the authorities have no information about any such note. In what is bound to brew into a major controversy, Panjab University teachers are at warring ends over the Vice-Chancellor’s (VC) alleged public “vilification”. A day after PUTA asking the Chancellor to institute an inquiry into press reports questioning VC RC Sobti’s research credentials, PU director public relations, Mohanmeet Khosla, issued an official press note bashing the body for acting on teachers’ behalf, who supported Sobti. PUTA, meanwhile, has accused the Vice-Chancellor to be misusing DPR office for his personal publicity.
