Police informer shot dead
Ludhiana, March 5 The incident took place around 8.15 am when two armed assailants riding on a motorcycle stopped outside the temple and the man riding pillion shot the victim, Satish Kumar, at point blank range. According to the temple priest, two shots were fired. The first shot missed the target and the second pierced through his head. Area residents said Satish lived in a rented accommodation in Maya Nagar and ran a barber shop. He was from Karnal and had come to the city nearly a decade ago. He was a regular visitor at the temple. An eyewitness said the accused fled towards Rose Garden and the motorcycle did not bear a registration number. Onlookers could not muster the courage to chase the killers. Preliminary investigation has indicated that personal enmity might be the reason behind the murder. A country-made pistol was used to commit the crime. Police sources said three persons were suspected to have committed the crime. “It was a planned murder as the accused were aware that the victim visited the temple daily. One of the accused was standing near the temple and is suspected to have informed his accomplices on the phone when Satish reached the temple,” an official said. The accused reportedly had a scuffle with the barber in the morning when he was opening his shop. Panic spreads
The incident spread panic in Maya Nagar and Ghumar Mandi. Residents blamed the “callous attitude” of the police for the growing crime rate. Congress leaders Amarjit Tikka, KK Bawa and Ishwarjot Cheema, alleged: “Instead of buying and selling property, the police should focus on nabbing criminals. It has failed to crack the DSP murder case and another daylight murder has taken place.” Kamlesh Rani, a resident, said: “We heard shots and rushed outside, only to see a horrific sight. The victim’s body was lying in a pool of blood. Later, a huge police force arrived at the spot. We do not know what is happening to the law and order situation.” Satish’s friends said he used to help the needy. Why victim was targeted
It is learnt that Satish was a police informer and was a frequent visitor at various police departments. He had helped several residents who were scared of lodging a complaint with the police. Information provided by him had led to the arrest of a gang leader recently and the gang was looking for an opportunity to settle scores with him. Heart-rending scenes
Satish’s wife Seema and their 10-year-old son were inconsolable. She was cursing the killers for ruining her life and the future of her child. “Who will look after my child? Why did they kill my husband? He had never done anything wrong,” she lamented.

Bains brothers object to raid on furnace unit
Ludhiana, March 5 Both of them had contested the elections as rebel candidates from the Atam Nagar and Ludhiana South Assembly segments, respectively. Claiming that the raids just a day before the election results were politically motivated, Simarjit said after the top SAD leadership failed to win him over to its side, it had resorted to pressure tactics. He said some eight teams of officials of the enforcement wing, drawn from different places of the state, had descended at their factory and carried out an intensive check of energy meters and installations. “All through the duration of the raids, the PSPCL team was in touch with its headquarters and every development was being conveyed to the top brass, which clearly shows that the action of the enforcement wing was initiated at the instance of their political masters,” he alleged, claiming that nothing was found amiss. Former president of the youth wing of the SAD, Simarjit had parted ways after being denied ticket from the Atam Nagar Assembly seat. Instead, the party allotted the ticket to his brother Balwinder Singh from Ludhiana South. However, in the end, both brothers contested as rebel candidates in the face of fierce pressure from the party leadership to make them withdraw. While officials of the enforcement directorate of the PSPCL were tight-lipped, highly placed sources said at the end of the raids, which continued for several hours, the officials had taken away two faulty/non-functional energy meters which would be sent to the ME laboratory for testing. “Whether of not the meters are tempered with will be known only after the report is received. Further action, if warranted, or a demand notice on the basis of the average consumption will be issued,” the sources said. |

Tiny Sushmita said that she liked all the colours but yellow was her favourite. These children are all away from their parents and families. It is up to the community to come together and bring joy to these children, said a worker at Bal Bhawan. The celebrations were organised by a private hospital. Dr Vikas Bansal, consultant, department of pediatrics and Dr Gurpreet Kochar, department of pediatirc neurology from SPS Apollo Hospital, said the festival was all about coming together as the spirit of Holi in particular was contagious.

It is these moments that make them feel loved and cared for, said

Dog Sterilisation
Ludhiana, March 5 The owner of Doggie Lane Foundation has charged the Ludhiana Municipal Corporation and the monitoring committee with overlooking the much-hyped project. “The sterilization of stray dogs has finally been shelved due to the callousness of the municipal corporation. The corporation left no stone unturned to get the project shelved. The project, which was started with much fanfare and media hype, could sterilize 4,000 dogs only. No one has achieved this target in North India,” added Himmat Grewal. The company, which had bagged the contract two years ago, said the company had stopped working sue to the non-payment on September 25, 2011. Grewal said, “I met Municipal Commissioner Jaggi last week. He had decided to count organs of 1,200 dogs today. But this seems to be another misadventure of the corporation. Except for municipal official Dr YP Singh, no one, either from MC or from the monitoring committee showed up today. Payment of 800 dogs, which was due after the June 2011 counting and was supposed to be paid within 30 days, has not been made till date.” The organs, which had been rotting for almost eight months, were to be counted by the monitoring committee and civic officials today. These were supposed to be destroyed later on. Jaggi had asked Doggie Lanes to also sterilize 1,000 dogs out of 5,000 mentioned in the contract. “After placing the organs in open for several hours, Doggie Lanes was told to come again .We have faced the wrath of MC, Monitoring Committee, the police and the goons on numerous occasions, but we tried to work for almost two years single handedly. But, today, they are left with no option other than shelving the project. I feel, MC wakes up only when they want us to sterilize dogs roaming in VVIP areas or when someone dies of a dog bite,” Himmat Grewal alleged. He said Jaggi had strictly ordered the counting to be done even if the monitoring committee members don’t show up and to mark them absent. Dr YP Singh, who was present during the counting of dog organs, could not be contacted. Municipal Commissioner Malwinder Singh Jaggi said he wasn’t aware of the matter. “I know that the counting was to be done today, but only the health officer can give you the details,” he added. Municipal Health Officer Dr Vipin Malhotra said counting could not take place as monitoring committee members were either sick or out of station. “We have informed them in advance, but they could not come for the counting,” he added.

PSEB
exams
Ludhiana, March 5 Earlier, PSEB had decided to install CCTV cameras as an alternative to flying squads for the smooth conduct of the examination. As, now, the board has decided against installing CCTV cameras, teachers and organisations are doubt whether it would be able to effectively curb the menace of copying. Meanwhile, the board officials don’t have any specific strategy in place to check copying in the examination halls. According to PSEB Chairman, Dalbir Singh Dhillon, the board will install CCTV cameras only in border areas and sensitive examination centres due to paucity of funds. Sukhdarshan Singh, president, Nakal Virodhi Adiaapk Front, said, “If the board doesn’t have funds for installing cameras in examination centres then why have they decided against sending flying squads. The board is being pressurized by private schools.” “Students got jittery after the board decided to install CCTV cameras in examination centres. Now, they are feeling relaxed as all powers have been vested in superintendents. And everybody knows to what extent they can control copying,” another teacher said.

sutlej club
Ludhiana, March 5 A member said that humility was on the decline in the club. Many of the old members of the club are worried and concerned about the future of the club. "Earlier, the atmosphere of the club used to be great. There was sense pride in coming here and interacting with people. But over the years, people have started flaunting their wealth," said an old timer. "We miss that decency, manners and etiquettes of the members," a woman member said. It had become embarrassing to bring family and friends to the club, said a member Because of this incessant politics, groupism and backbiting in the wake of the upcoming elections. Another old-timer said that he hardly visited the club, now. "We have seen good times at the club, when there was certain sophistication about the people and the place. But now, I feel a sense of revulsion towards the club because of all this," he said. According to Deputy Commissioner Rahul Tewari, if some members are behaving in an absurd way in the name of elections, 3,000 members should ensure that they vote out the troublemakers. Regarding the incident that had taken place last night, he said that it was good that truth was coming out it the open for all to see and decide about such members. About the lavish parties with expenditure mounting in lakhs against the code of conduct, he said that the code of conduct would be applied after the announcement of date of elections and action would be taken if someone violated it. Some members suggested that the DC should form a disciplinary board to keep in check any such incidents of rivalry and should visit the club incognito for the discipline to be maintained.

Residents not happy with six-laning of national highway
Doraha, March 5 If other villages and towns have been kept in mind and the provision of alternative ways has been made, why has this particular village and the adjoining villages been left out?” lamented the villagers of Jaipura. “The villagers have been reaching their respective destinations through alternative routes so far, but with the authorities blocking these, they are now left with no option,” a village resident said. “We don’t know whether an alternative arrangement will be made for us, but as per the developments it is being felt that the authorities have overlooked the convenience of residents,” another resident added. “The villagers said there was no one to listen to their problems,” stated a villager. “The National Highway Authority of India should at least ponder over the inconvenience being caused to residents. Once the widening is completed, no body will listen to us. If the authorities fail to rise to the occasion and make an alternative arrangement, we will be rendered “pathless”,” said a resident of Maksudran. The NHAI officials in Ambala, when contacted, said, “It is a national highway and entertaining each and every body by making flyover provisions for them is next to impossible.”

Addressing grievances not MC’s cup of tea
Jagraon, March 5 The protesting shopkeepers shouted slogans against the civic body authorities for ignoring their long-pending demands. The protesters also blocked the road for one hour. Later, a delegation of the shopkeepers visited the office of municipal council president Baldev Krishan Dhir and handed over a memorandum to him. The shopkeepers said the road had neither been constructed nor repaired for more than eight years. “The road was last constructed in April, 2003. The contractor, who was allotted the work of constructing the road at that time used substandard material,” said Amar Nath
Kala, a shopkeeper. Residents said they had taken up the issue with the authorities, but nothing happened. They lamented that neither any political party nor the local administration seemed interested in solving the problem. “We have taken up the issue with the MC officials a number of times. We even met District Planning Board chairman Bhag Singh Mallha and local Congress MLA Gurdeep Singh Bhaini urging them to initiate the construction work. Though every time we were given assurances of starting the work, nothing concrete has been done so far,” said Pawandeep Singh. The road is in a bad condition. Water gets accumulated on it during rainy season. Due to improper water drainage system, rain water enters houses and shops. Through the memorandum handed over to the municipal council president, the area residents have urged the civic body to start the work at the earliest. The residents have also threatened to block traffic on the road on a regular basis if their demand was not met. Municipal council president Baldev Krishan Dhir said the MC had been laying interlocking tiles on all roads and streets of the town. He said tenders would be floated for outsourcing work pertaining to laying of interlocking tiles on the road.
