Man avenges dad’s murder, arrested
Jalandhar, May 7 The accused, identified as Harwinder Singh, alias Bindu, of Ali Chuck village in Lambra, got a tattoo of his father’s picture inscribed on his left shoulder which he flaunted with tears in his eyes. His father Sohan Singh was murdered in 2010. After his father’s death, the police charged four accused with murder. The charges against two suspects - Amarjit Singh and Joginder Singh - were dropped after the police investigation. However, Harwinder was suspecting their role in the murder of his father. In November 2011, Harwinder along with his accomplices Daljinder Singh, alias Jinder, Lakhbir, alias Lucky of Gondpur village and Sonu, alias Bacha of Gonachuck village near Lambra, allegedly hacked Amarjit to death and after 15 days, they allegedly killed Joginder. In the meantime, murder charges were proved against the other two accused, identified as Sukhwinder Singh, alias Sukha, and Harjinder Singh, alias Jinda, and they were arrested by the police. But Harwinder was adamant to take revenge from the ‘killers’ of his father and wanted to kill them. He recently managed to get a bail of one of the accused, Sukha, and was also arranging for a bail of another accused Harjinder. Fearing threat to life, Harjinder was not signing the bail application while the other accused, who was released on bail, has gone underground. Even during press conference, the accused Harwinder was saying: “I have two to take revenge of my father’s death and will kill other two accused soon.” ASI Jassa Singh said the police today arrested Harwinder Singh and Daljider Singh, alias Jinder. The remaining accused, including Lakhbir, alias Lucky, and Sonu, alias Bacha, were still at large, he added. The police has also recovered a .32 bore country-made pistol and three live cartridges from the accused. The accused Daljinder was also wanted in 12 other criminal cases, including loot, robbery and attempt to murder. The plot

Punjabi film
'Sada Haq' being shot at Central Jail
Jalandhar, May 7 Based on a story of aspirations, conflicts and rights of the Punjabi youth - as the name suggests - the sequence shot at the Central Jail of the film involves the part where the lead protagonist of the film is jailed. Talking about the film, Rakesh Sood, director of the film, said: “The film is about a Canadian girl who comes to India for a research. Youth is the primary theme of the film and it also deals with the drug issue.” While the grapevine says the film deals with the subject of the famous Jagtar Singh Hawara case, Sood denies such reports. Speaking on the privilege of being possibly the last film crew which will shoot at the film here, Sood says: “Yes, it was just a co-incidence, but came as an added advantage. Creating a special set and building a proper atmosphere would have been difficult, but luckily we got the empty jail to shoot in and it is going to add to the feel of the film.” The shooting in Jalandhar will be wrapped in a few days and the crew will head to Chandigarh and them to Himachal Pradesh to shoot the remaining part of the film. The film is slated to be released in October. |

From stuntman to action director
Jalandhar, May 7 In the city to shoot for Punjabi film 'Sada Haq', The Tribune caught up with action director Darshan Mahal, as he shared his life's journey so far. Mahal started his journey with the 1974 Punjabi hit 'Sawa lakh se ek laraun'. Having worked in Bollywood flicks like Mohra, Guru, Vardi, Naam, Daku Bhairon Singh, Dosh and others as an action director, he has also been associated with some of the biggest banners in the early part of his career, as a stuntman. He was also awarded for his work in the Hindi series 'Mission Kargil'. Talking about his early days, Mahal says: "I started my journey as a stuntman for the Punjabi film 'Sawa lakh se ek laraun' and later moved on to action direction." Born at Bamma village in Amritsar, Mahal's idol Dara Singh, who inspired him to take to the world of action, had motivated him to be a part of the film. "I was one among five brothers and my father didn't think much of this profession. When I got my first film, I only told my mother about it. During the shoot, I saw my livid father walk onto the sets of the film. He wanted to take me back home. But luckily for me, Dara Singh came to the rescue and convinced him to let me work. From then on, there was no looking back," Mahal says. In 1979, Dara Singh took Mahal to Mumbai and introduced him to the who's who of action. He met Veeru Devgan and began training under him. He did stunts for films like Kranti, Krodhi and Satyam Shivam Sundaram among others. He started his journey as an action director with the Punjabi film 'Rabb dian rakhan' and later took to Hindi films. He has also worked in the serial 'Mission Fateh' and his latest Punjabi flicks have been Mitti (starring Mika), Mar Jawan Gur Khake and Kabaddi. He is currently directing action for the hit series 'Shivaji' and has just finished a Hindi film project. His idols, he says are Dara Singh and Dharam Bhaji, who he has also worked with countless times. He presently lives in Mumbai with his family. He has three daughters settled in Chandigarh, Hyderabad and Mumbai and a son.

This is called all-round development
Jalandhar, May 7 Starting from the Kishanpura locality to Laxmipura and the old Tanda Road, the ward clearly shows the progress made by spending a sum of Rs 6.50 crore on various development works done by councillor Sunil Jyoti. While a park was developed in Vikas Puri on a seven kanal land by spending Rs 25 lakh, another amount of Rs 40 lakh was spent on installation of streetlights in the ward. Almost all the residents were found content with the pace of development in their ward. Joginder Singh from Laxmipura said, "There is no such major problem in the ward barring the fact at some places, one can spot garbage littered in the corners of the localities. Although garbage lifters come on a regular basis but this has remained one of the problems. We are content with the development works competed by our councillor." Residents of Laxmipura also expressed satisfaction over the laying of inter-locking tiles in their locality. "The work was started last year and it was completed in a start to finish schedule. Now, we have a clean environment," said Ashok Kumar. Even the shopkeepers of Tanda Road also lauded the efforts of the councilor stating that they had been facing a peculiar problem of waterlogging during the monsoons in their shops. "Earlier, monsoons would bring in misery for all the shopkeepers as stagnant rain water would enter in the shops. This problem came to an end with sewerage system and the construction of road", said Sonu, a shopkeeper. But a section of residents also claimed that the councillor usually remains unapproachable, hence leading to problems for them. "There have been times, when we faced this problem. Although, a progressive person but he works according to his own whims & fancies. He should remain available for readdressing our grievances", the residents said. The residents of New Santokhpura locality blamed the councillor with reconstructing the entire locality including Vij Nagar, where he resides. "Almost all the localities in this part of Niwi Abadi and New Santokhpura are lagging behind in development. Piles of garbage, stagnant water and lack of cleanliness has been the major problems in our colonies", said Ramesh Pratap a resident of this locality. "Despite all round development of ward number 4, there are localities in Santokhpura where people are forced to live in filth. The councillor should have focused on our localities too", added the residents of this locality. Amount spent Councillor Sunil Jyoti spent Rs 6.5 crore on major development works like 100 per cent drinking water supply, sewerage system, and installation of streetlights and development of public parks. Out of this, Rs 40 lakh was spent on streetlights, Rs 25 lakh on Vikaspuri Park, Rs 60 lakh on interlocking tiles. Lack of development in Santokhpura There are certain localities of Santokhpura and Niwi Abadi where development works like laying inter-locking tiles and streetlights have not been done. Prospective candidates While the Congress is yet to open its cards in announcing its candidate, Sunil Jyoti, a BJP candidate, is sure to contest in the MC elections. "I am waiting for my next tenure to make my ward as an example in terms of facility and beautification," he said. Not accessible! "I am proud that I am the only councillor, who goes for a round to different localities of my ward every morning on a motorcycle. Right from 7.30 am to till late at night, I had always remained available for people," said counsellor Sunil Jyoti.

Commuters suffer as MC goes slow on road work
Jalandhar, May 7 Reason: The sluggish pace of work by the MC. The Rs 34 lakh project involves construction of a road, central verges, sewerage lines and pedestrian paths. The Municipal Corporation had initiated the work to lay storm water sewerage on the stretch a few months ago and the work is still underway. However, MC officials say the work to lay sewerage is at its tail end and soon a concrete road will be laid. The work of laying central verges and construction of pedestrian path has almost been completed. Term it the lethargic approach or paucity of funds, the MC has been dilly-dallying the work to lay a concrete road, putting commuters to inconvenience. Due to its proximity to the ISBT, the road witnesses huge rush of vehicles, including buses, trucks and cars, but potholes on the road slows down the traffic movement leading to snarl-ups. Commuters heading to Police Lines from the Garha road are forced to take a longer detour through the BMC chowk to reach their destination. The absence of traffic personnel on the road often leads to long traffic jams, rue commuters. "We usually avoid commuting on this road as it has large potholes. The smooth flow of traffic is also obstructed due to the bad condition of the road," said Anil Kaushik, a daily commuter and a resident of the Garha area. Chaman Lal, MC engineer, said 60 per cent of the storm water sewerage laying work has been completed and the remaining work could take more than two months. "Till the work to lay storm water line is complete, it is not possible to lay a concrete road," said.

ACP's odd behaviour stuns media, officials
Jalandhar, May 7 The moment the press conference started, ACP Rajinder Singh Cheema started behaving awkwardly and was seen waving his hand in the air in front of the media and higher police officials. Interestingly, when the ACP was behaving in a strange manner, ADCP crime, senior of the former, was seen standing helpless along with him. During the conference, the ACP was loudly asking the media to click his photograph and other police officials sitting along with him were also feeling awkward. As the press conference was on, the ACP left the room and urged the media to click his photograph with his new Mercedes Benz. "Yar badi mushkil nal eh car layi a, tusi meri photo lagao is car nal newspaper ch (Friends, please click my photographs with my car)," ACP said.

Officials of PSIEC, Directorate of Factories to be indicted
Jalandhar, May 7 Ladhar hinted at this claiming that there was no reason why these officials had been sleeping all these years when the ownership of the land changed, construction was going on and the factory had been operational. "The office of the PSIEC is located just at 100 metres away and there should have been no reason why they were not aware of the illegalities by the factory owners", he claimed. He said that he would visit the site tomorrow and see the things for himself. "Even as the rubble would have been cleared, there could be more things required to be noted. I have called all the officials at the site tomorrow including those of the sewage board on whom the fingers are being pointed out by the owners. I have even asked them to put their claims on paper," he added.
