Wheat crop burnt by crackers
Ludhiana, April 26 Taking strict action SSP Jagraon GS Toor today booked the authorities of the Shubham marriage palace for negligence that led to the fire incident. The SSP further conducted a meeting with the Commissioner of Police and promised to work in coordination with the Ludhiana city police to tackle the menace caused by marriage palaces on Ferozepur Road. Giving strict guidelines, he has banned the bursting of crackers on the Ferozepur road and further said that strict action would be taken against the people who take out marriage processions on the highway and cause traffic problems. “I have told the DSP, Dakha, to conduct a meeting with the marriage place owners and strictly implement the guidelines. Besides, a recovery vehicle would also be deployed near marriage palaces to tow away the wrongly parked vehicles,” said SSP. The incident took place at 10 pm when residents of Baddowal, Hassanpur and Gahaur villages blocked the road and protested against the burning of wheat crop. The protesting residents complained that people, who were part of the marriage possession, had burst crackers. Splinters from fire crackers fell on the wheat crop and reduced the standing crop of over 20 acres to ashes. The loss could have been more but the villagers doused the fire by pouring water. The villagers said that they had visited the marriage places and urged the organisers to stop the bursting of crackers. This led to a heated argument between members of the marriage party and the villagers. The villagers alleged that the members of the marriage party, who were in an inebriated condition, fired gunshots in the air to deter the former. The rattled farmers then blocked the Ludhiana-Ferozepur road for over three hours and vandalised two marriage palaces and several vehicles. The SSP said that the marriage palace authorities had not yet made any complaint pertaining to the vandalism and damaging of property. “Certainly we would probe the matter if there would be any complaint pertaining to vandalism by the residents,” said the
SSP. Harrowing experience
Visiting a wedding ceremony turned out to be a harrowing experience for hundreds of residents travelling on the Ludhiana-Ferozepur Road to attend the marriages. Narrating the experience, Vinita Chaudhary, who was returning home after attending the marriage along with her husband and daughter, said enraged farmers holding sticks and other farming tools in their hands were protesting against marriage place owners. Some were seen banging on cars of residents who were trying to make their way through the protest. For nearly an hour, she remained stuck in the midnight traffic
jam.

Sports infrastructure amiss
Charanjit Singh Teja Tribune News Service
Ludhiana, April 26 Students studying here rely on roads and streets for playing games like cricket, football and badminton etc. As per the state government guidelines, the sports fund in higher classes are to be collected through various funds from the students. But in a majority of the schools, there is a higher ratio of students belonging to the Scheduled Castes and Backward Classes. With their (SC/BC students) fees being exempt by the state government, the school authorities fail to collect sufficient funds from all students. Due to this, the sports facilities being provided to the students suffer. The funds for sports are to be generated after the primary level. Up to the primary classes, there are absolutely no facilities available for students in sports. However, some "lucky" school authorities do get indoor sports equipment from the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan. According to officials in the education department, the school authorities are responsibile for providing the sports infrastructure to students. Schools should provide infrastructure for at least one sport. Playground is mandatory for all the schools. There are a number of schools like Government Primary School, Abdulapur, Government Primary/high school in Engine Shed area that do not even have sufficient place for the morning assembly. The Education Department organises annual school games from block to state levels, but most of the time, students of some prominent schools of the city take part in those tournaments. A majority of government schools of the city do not take part in these competitions. Ranjit Singh Malhi, District Education Officer, Primary, said, "There are seven-eight government primary schools in the city which do not have playgrounds for the students. Most of these schools are running in congested areas of the city. We cannot provide them grounds but we will provide them indoor sports equipment."

‘Craving for easy money led to crime’
Mohit Khanna Tribune News Service
Ludhiana, April 26 While their village Talwara has hardly seen any kind of development, a posh locality (Golf Link) has mushroomed close to their village. The rich of the city purchased huge farmhouses in the area and money flowed during late-night parties. However, this did not change the social status of the trio and they kept on doing menial jobs to keep their kitchen fires burning, said a police official not wishing to be named. The official said that the trio started with snatchings. In the beginning, they used to target young boys and girls visiting the area. After intercepting the victims, the accused used to snatch their valuables. This went on for nearly a year, with Umesh, Harwinder and Pritpal gaining in confidence. They began to target girls visiting their area along with their boyfriends. After raping the victim, they used to snatch her valuables. The victim did not report these incidents to the police, fearing social embarrassment, said the police official who is part of the investigative team. Profile of accused
Harwinder Singh, alias Binda, is aged only 22 and is the youngest of his three brothers. His eldest brother is an
electrician and runs his shop from Talwara village and also provides DJs for functions. His other brother works as a driver with a bank. His father was suffering from tuberculosis died when the police took him for questioning on March 18. The second accused is Umesh Karda, also a resident of Talwara village. His family background is no different. His father works in a private company and Umesh is the eldest of his two sons. Umesh has studied till Class XII and works as a daily Pritpal Singh, alias Laddu, is all of 21 years, living in a one-room house, Pritpal is the eldest of three siblings. Ever since his father died some eight months back, Pritpal has been taking care of his mother, and younger brother and sister. Officialtake
The trio is not alone dreaming of becoming reach overnight. There are many youths who commit petty offences to make a quick buck. Before they realise their mistake, they reach a point of no return. The city and its vicinity have witnessed several such incidents where youngsters from periphery areas or lower strata of society have committed crime to make easy money. The trend of crime has also changed. Now the snatchers target the vulnerable. Like we have seen in the case of Moga DSP and Monica Kapila. The trio was targeting victims, who were meeting secretly. Such victims remained mum and did report the matter to the police, fearing social embarrassment. This also emboldened the trio and ultimately led to the brutal murder of the DSP and
Monica. — MF Farooqui, DIG Ludhiana Range |

Home Ministry to initiate CBI inquiry soon
Manav Mander Tribune News Service
Ludhiana, April 26 In 2009-2010, bogus bills of more than Rs 20,000 crore were issued by some bogus companies in the market. During investigation, it was unearthed that traders across the state in order to claim the income tax credit (ITC) and refund had presented bogus turnovers of around Rs 20,000 crore. Nearly 60 per cent of the firms showing bogus turnover were from Ludhiana. The Federation of Punjab Small Industries’ Associations (FOPSIA) has filed a grievance petition to the Home Ministry against the excise and taxation department of Punjab to investigate this scam and order a CBI inquiry. After considering the facts, the Home Ministry has issued a preliminary inquiry in this regard. “The department was responsible to monitor the working of these companies because all companies were filing online returns to the department but for saving their skin, excise officials had started threatening innocent industrialists and traders for recovering that value added tax (VAT) amount. The notices were issued to thousands of traders and industrialists. Their VAT refund claims were disallowed and just for an eyewash, criminal cases were filed against few of those bogus bill traders,” said Badish K Jindal, president of FOPSIA. While KBS Sidhu, director, (investigations), excise and taxation department, has written to Badish Jindal and demanded the facts about this scam and FOPSIA is collecting the data in this regard. Controversies
The bogus bill scam has always been surrounded by controversies. The whistle blower of the scam, Jaswinderpal Singh, a clerk working with the department, died after he met with an accident under mysterious circumstances at Sudhar. He was instrumental in preparing the files against bogus firms. Later, two ETOs who were also investigating the bogus bill scam met with an accident. The department had pointed their finger towards the bogus bill traders for these accidents with department officials.

Discontinuation of quota disappoints students
Gurvinder Singh Tribune News Service
Ludhiana, April 26 “We are already lacking in institutes of the national repute in the state and now with curtains on quota is disappointing,” said Gagandeep, a pass out of the university. Another student said without any quota for students of Punjab now, competition is going to be tough to make it to the institute. Manoj Sharma, a student of Class XII, said this had brought the bleak picture of engineering colleges in the state to the fore. “An IIT came to the state recently and that, too, has to find its feet and build a reputation. Why we cannot have good institutes for the region, so that the government and youth doesn’t have to crib at pulling down of quotas,” complained Akashdeep Singh, another student pursuing engineering. Harpreet, a lecturer, says the government has to have better regulation of the colleges rather than increasingly giving them autonomy. But the government should maintain good standards and infrastructure, so that the institutes do not have to demand autonomy. Pardip Singh, another pass out, said, “Thapar University has built a brand in quality and why should it be restricted to Punjab. Currently, Punjab has so many engineering colleges in the state and the seats of these colleges remain vacant. One can imagine the kind of education being imparted at these institutions,” he said.
