hawala racket busted Mohit Khanna Tribune News Service
Ludhiana, February 18 The suspects, residents of Mehsana district in Gujarat, were nabbed from the bus stand area this morning when they were planning to take the money to Yumananagar. Kulwinder Singh, ADCP-III, said the three suspects had been living in the Sham Nagar area for two years. “Posing as transporters, they had spread their hawala network in the city. We were keeping an eye on them and tracking their movements. After receiving a tipoff this morning, we nabbed them,” said Raj Kumar, SHO of the Division No. 5 police station. The police was currently scanning the mobile phone details of the suspects to find out whether the trio had any international link. “We are at the preliminary stage of investigation. We have yet to find out whether the suspects were backed by some terrorist organisation,” said the ADCP. Sources said those running the hawala racket had been working far more efficiently than any money transfer company. “If someone has to send money to a friend in Mumbai, he contacts them. They pay a visit, collect the money and call up their aide in Mumbai,” said a police source. “The aide visits the friend and hands over the money. He makes the sender speak to the friend over telephone for confirmation. The business was thriving on trust,” the source explained. The police handed over the matter to the enforcement department to find out how many persons were involved. The suspects were school dropouts. While Nirmal had been receiving Rs 8,000 a month, Dalip and Harish were being paid Rs 6,000 per month. The police only managed to nab the conduits, but failed to lay its hands on the kingpin.

Congress leader cries foul
Ludhiana, February 18 Claiming the involvement of Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (ADCP-II) Satveer Singh Atwal, he said, “The case was registered at his behest. Only the police can explain how the owner can be booked in a land-grab case,” he said. Sharma claimed that the police did not ask him to present his side his side of the story before registering a case against him. “The case was registered at 11:30 pm on February 16. The police raided my residence as if I was a criminal or terrorist. My family panicked at the time of the raid,” he said. “I will drag them to court and file a defamation case against the police officials involved in registering the case against me and my partner Vipan Jain,”
he stated. “Before raiding my house, the police should arrest the killers of DSP Balraj Singh Gill and ASI Gurdial Singh,” he further said. He went on to claim that the complainant, Harpal Singh, on the basis of whose statement the case was registered, was not a partner in the property. “ADCP Atwal told me that the land is worth Rs 100 crore. I wonder what his intentions were,”
said Sharma. In a show of strength, local Congress leaders and councillors Gurpreet Goggi, Balkar Singh, Amarjit Tikka, Som Nath and Kailesh Kapoor criticised police highhandedness. Despite repeated attempts, ADCP Atwal was not available for comment. Police sources said that the 16,000-sq-yd plot in the Dhandari Khurd area had been purchased by Jain, Sharma and Kulbir
Singh Virk. After real-estate prices hit the roof, Sharma and Jain had occupied the front side of the land and started construction, which led to the trouble. |

Strange but true — driver’s licence after going through test in just 16 seconds!
Ludhiana, February 18 If this is the way driving tests are being conducted by inspectors here, fatal accidents are bound to take place on roads, feel experts. Dinesh Chadha of Ropar procured information from the district transport office at Ludhiana that during the period from January to August past year, the department had issued 40,177 learner’s licences and 22,376 permanent licences. In the span of eight months, the department issued a total of 62,553 licences after conducting driving tests. The information provided included the fact that the driving tests were conducted by the motor vehicle inspector at the Punjabi Bhavan here from 10 am to 1 pm every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. This meant that the tests took 9 hours a week, 35 hours a month and 288 hours in eight months. In 288 hours, the office conducted a total of 62,553 tests and each test took 16 seconds. “In 16 seconds, a person cannot even sit and start a car,” said Chadha. The vice-chairman of the Punjab State Road Safety Council, Kamaljit Soi, expressed shock over this startling fact. He said the driving tests were nothing but an eyewash. “The department does not have the infrastructure to conduct driving tests. In 16 seconds, it checks how a person drives, takes a U-turn, reverses the vehicle and obeys traffic rules,” he stated. “Hundreds of innocent persons lose their lives in fatal accidents, but we refuse to learn. Middlemen get everything done at a price. I do not think that inspectors even conduct the tests,” he rued. |

Correcting syllabus just before exams
Ludhiana February 18 Teachers have been teaching class-VIII Punjabi students that Rabindranath Tagore got married in 1833 and the month in the Hindu calendar that starts after Lohri is ‘Poh’. Many students may have crammed this incorrect information for the examination. But now, when examinations are round the corner and students are revising the syllabus, the board has circulated a notice among district education officers to correct the information and rectify the mistakes. In the circular, the board has pointed out that Gurudev Tagore got married in 1883 and ‘Magh’ is the month that begins after Lohri. "We welcome the rectification, though it has come after a long time. It is understood that ‘Magh’ starts the day after Lohri. The correction in the year of Tagore’s marriage was necessary," said a teacher with a government school.

District short of wheat storage space
If the official data is any indication, there is a shortage of space for keeping about 2.06 lakh metric tonnes (MT) in the district.

Wasted or utilised, that’s the question
Ludhiana, February 18 Instead of utilising this time, students start asking one another for answers. Some teachers say students use this time for the selection of ‘copying material’. After selecting the required ‘slips’, they throw out the rest. Examinees also have to fill in the optical machine reader (OMR) form on the first page of the answer sheet within the three hours. They spend between 15 and 20 minutes to fill in the form, according to many teachers. They have to encircle letters of their name, roll number, name of subject, subject code, class and other columns. Teachers and educationists suggest that the board reduce the time for reading the question paper and give extra time for filling in the OMR form. “It is hard to control students for the 15 minutes before the examination begins because they start sharing ideas about answers. The board should reduce the time as it is waste of time. If the board thinks that three hours are not sufficient, it can increase the time,” said Gurbeer Singh, a mathematics teacher with a government school. “Student utilise this time for the selection of copying material. Copying is very common at schools in the state,” said another teacher, requesting anonymity. “After distribution, the examiner provides examinees 15 minutes to read the question paper. After that, they fill in the OMR form, which consumes at least 15 minutes. They spend half an hour without reason. Answer sheets should be given to the examinees before the question paper as students can fill in the information in 15 minutes,” said Balwinder Kalia, an educationist. How can a student turn his neck if invigilators are honest? It depends on invigilators. They have to control students as it is their duty. We provide the facility to students. If they misuse it, invigilators are responsible. Teachers should improve their character instead of pointing fingers at the system. Invigilators can give answer sheets to fill in the OMR before question
papers. Dalbir Singh Dhillon, chairman, Punjab School Education Board |

‘Traders continue to cheat consumers’
Ludhiana, February 18 The Legal Metrology (weights and measures) Department, hit by infrastructure deficiency, has, meanwhile, totally failed to curb the nefarious practice. Shockingly, the department does not even have a telephone number where consumers can register their complaints. The staff is always on field duty so meeting them is a distant dream. This fact came to light after a city resident had sought information in this regard through the RTI Act. RTI activist Varinder Singh through the RTI has asked about the timings of the department and the telephone number at which consumers could register their complaint. Surprisingly, the reply from the department mentions that the government has not provided them any telephone and the department opens from Monday to Friday. As they have field work, so they are in the field most of the time. In addition, there are only five employees of the department posted in the city. “Seeing the population of the city, five employees for the entire city are very less in number. Five persons can never cover the length and breadth of the city. The department should strengthen its staff for improving work efficiency,” said Varinder Singh. “Customers are being cheated with under-weighed goods. There are question marks on the genuineness of the weights and measures tools being used by traders right from roadside vendors to big shops,” said Jagbir Singh, a resident of Kitchlu Nagar. Vegetable vendors can be openly seen flouting norms. Some of them do not even use proper weights and go unchecked. “Instead of using weights, some of the vegetable vendors in the city are using stones to weigh the stuff. I tried to reach the legal metrology department, but was unable to contact the officials,” said Harpreet Kaur, a homemaker from BRS Nagar. The crux of the problem is that there is gross absence of government mechanism to plug this trend. The Legal Metrology Department, which is duty-bound to regulate the misuse of weights and measures, is functioning, but only on pen and paper, added Varinder Singh.

Experts stress on resource mgmt
Ludhiana, February 18 The former Vice-Chancellor of PAU, Dr KS Aulakh, chaired the seminar. PAU Vice-Chancellor, Dr Baldev Singh Dhillon, delved on “Punjab agriculture: Issues and challenges”. He said earlier varieties of wheat and paddy responded well to fertilizers and that in an attempt to harvest more, farmers used excessive nitrogen and other inputs. Dr SS Gill, director-general, CRRID, deliberated on “Expenditure and resources mobilisation for the revival of Punjab economy”. “With proper management and governance, Haryana and Gujarat have left us behind,” he said, adding that the per capita income, which was nearly double in 1979-80 than the national average is diminishing. He emphasised on proper resources management. Dr Gill expressed concern that currently the state has a debt burden of Rs 80,000 crore.

Dr Karam Singh, consultant, Punjab State Farmers’ Commission, discussed the role of institutions in the development of the state.
