IIT results today; party already on
Chandigarh, May 17 All thanks to the IIT’s idea of uploading checked ed optical response sheets, a little hard work from city coaching centres has given aspirants an assurance of their admission and a fair idea of their ranks. This year, for the first time the sheets were put on the web, allowing students to see marks and even request a revaluation. “On the basis of actual score and reflective ranks, we have over 98 students who will be getting into the IITs from the tricity. Bijoy is expected to top the tricity, as he has got 377 marks. He has been our student for the past two years and on basis of our compilation of results from across the centres, we are saying so. The ranks have been Bijoy is expected to share his score with Delhi boy Nishanth N Kaushik. Meanwhile, city Anant Gupta with a score of 368 marks is expected to secure the second rank, but as a coaching expert of Sector 24 puts it, "Ranks may differ with the declaration of results, yet with the IIT uploading the marks, students at least know that they are through so anxiety is much less than expected. We have high hopes from both Bijoy and Anant and see them as toppers. Where exactly are they in the list can only be said tomorrow.” “The national fever of calculating reflective ranks has been flared by a so-called national survey done by a leading coaching institute. We had put the result on the Net to ensure transparency. The results may have assured many of their admission chances, but we should all wait for May 18 to talk about ranks,” said one of the organising officials of the IIT.
Grace marks
Candidates across the board have got four grace marks for a dubious question from the chemistry section of the IIT entrance examination held on April 8. The addition is bound to bring slight changes in the overall score of many

PGI penalised Rs 2.5 lakh by panel
Chandigarh, May 17 Jug Jeevan Pal and Chander Mohan, both residents of Ambala City and sons of the patient who was implanted two stents after she was diagnosed as having jaundice, in their complaint to the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum-II, had submitted that their mother had died due to medical negligence. However, the forum dismissed the complaint. Not satisfied with the decision, the two moved the State Commission to seek the redress of their grievance. The commission slapped a fine of Rs 2.5 lakh on the PGIMER Chandigarh for its failure to maintain the record of the stents implanted in the patient. The complainants had said that their mother was suffering from jaundice and was admitted to the PGI for treatment on July 1, 2007, and she was diagnosed as having jaundice. This was the main reason in the blockade of liver and a 10-cm straight biliary stent was placed inside the patient. She was discharged from the hospital on July 6, 2007, with the advice for a follow-up after seven days at GE-OPD. It was further stated that the patient's condition deteriorated and the complainants took her to the PGI on July 17, 2007, for check-up, where various tests were prescribed by doctors. As the condition of the patient did not improve, they again rushed her to the emergency on July 28, 2007. It was stated that though the patient was crying with acute abdominal pain, the doctors refused to admit her. Later, an ultrasound was advised, the report of which showed blockade in the stent deployed earlier and another stent was deployed, besides the old blocked stent on July 30, 2007. They further said that on August 5, 2007, acute respiration failure stage developed and they requested the doctor, on duty, to see her who kept on sleeping despite repeated
requests. It was further stated that as the patient's condition was very critical, the doctor advised for placement of Central Line. However, senior doctors later realised that the Central line had been wrongly executed and the process of manual ventilation would also not be helpful to save the life of the patient. They then took the patient home against medical advice, which resulted in the patient's death before she reached home. It was further stated that no record regarding the supply of stents was maintained by the PGI which amounted to medical negligence and deficiency, in rendering service. The counsel for the opposite party averred that the patient was an elderly lady, with tumour causing biliary obstruction and had suffered two episodes of severe cholangitis. An effective initial
management with endoscopic stent placement and antibiotics therapy was promptly done on
the patient. The patient was admitted on a priority basis in the GE Ward, and it were the attendants of the patient, who did not comply with the instructions, issued by the doctors, from time to time. It was further stated that the doctors of Radiology Diagnosis Department assessed the patient and found that biliary duct was mildly dilated, but was not amenable for placement of percutaneous drain. It was further stated that the question of continuation of high doses of antibiotics, causing the death of the patient, was irrelevant, as all doses administered to the patient were standard doses, as per the published guidelines. Rather it was stated that the doctors had planned endotracheal intubation, which was not consented to by the family of the patient. The commission, comprising president Justice Sham Sunder and member Neena Sandhu, while modifying the district forum order, observed that had the record been properly maintained by the opposite party, the complainants would not have been forced to entertain a lingering doubt in their mind that the stent, implanted in the body of their mother, was defective, and sub-standard, which caused a lot of misery to them. For this, the opposite party is to compensate the complainants, the forum ordered.

Flights fail to take off, land
Chandigarh, May 17 Airport manager Ashok Gangwar said a total of 13 flights that were to take off from Chandigarh to various destinations were cancelled due to low visibility. An equal number of flights that were supposed to arrive were cancelled. The weather caused inconvenience to hundreds of passengers who had to take road transport to reach their destinations. Meanwhile, the airline operators returned the fare to the passengers. One of the passengers, who had to reach Delhi for a meeting, said the cancellation of flights made him miss the meeting he was supposed to attend.

Further delay expected
New Delhi, May 17 In a letter to his secretariat, HRD Ministry has clarified that the selection of PU's V-C, as of other central university V-Cs, has to be done through "proper identification of a panel of three to five names by a search committee through a public notification or nomination or a talent search process or in combination". It says the search committee hence constituted has to conform to UGC Regulations 2010 on Minimum Eligibility for Appointment of Teachers to higher educational institutions. These regulations stipulate that the search committee for the V-C must have a nomine of the Chancellor as chair of the committee; a nomine of the UGC Chairman; a nominee of the Syndicate/Executive Committee/Board of Management of the university concerned. If UGC regulations are to apply to PU, the search committee the Chancellor constituted earlier would not hold good as it doesn't have a nominee of the UGC or the PU Syndicate. All three members on that committee — Justice Leila Seth (retd), scientist Dr P Rama Rao and former Ambassador IS Chadha are Chancellor's nominees, an issue that led to protests in Chandigarh over the constitution of the committee. It was following this controversy that the Chancellor on April 11 asked HRD Ministry for a clarification on whether UGC regulations 2010 applied to PU, otherwise governed by the Punjab University Act, 1947. The Government has clarified to the Chancellor that "a legislation (like the PU Act) made by the state by virtue of Entry 25 of List III of the Constitution would have to yield to the legislation made under Entry 66 by the Central Government (in this case the UGC Act)." The clarification states clearly, "The UGC was created under the UGC Act 1956 by the Parliament. Regulations the UGC issues under the Act are in nature of a subordinate legislation. Since the Punjab University Act, 1947 is a State Act its provision which is not in consonance with the central legislations would have to yield to the central legislation. The UGC Regulation of 2010 mentions that universities and state governments shall amend Acts of the universities concerned within six months of adoption of the UGC regulation of 2010. The UGC Regulations are therefore applicable to Panjab University also." Importantly, central universities constituted in 2009 through the Act of Parliament have not yet amended their statutes to implement UGC Regulations 2010. The HRD Ministry has communicated this point to the Chancellor whose office said the final decision would be sent to PU Registrar soon. Incumbent PU V-C R.C. Sobti's term expires In July. Ideally, V-C selection process must have ended by that time.

MC braces to tackle market fires
Chief Fire Officer directed the shopkeepers to provide sufficient space around the shops for the movement of firemen in the event of an emergency. As a security measure, he directed the shopkeepers to check the main line, electrical fittings, loose wiring and temporary connections in their shops and if any fault is found these should be rectified at the earliest to avoid fire. He instructed the representatives of the markets to regularly check the fire-fighting equipment installed in their shops and remove all types of articles and packing material from the roofs. During a visit to the rehri market of Sector 15, the shopkeepers alleged that such meetings were merely an eyewash as for the past 10 years, they had been asking for the replacement of wiring at the market as also the shifting of the transformer to some safer place, but till date no action had been taken by the authorities. At the Sector 22 rehri market, it was found that no passage had been cleared by the enforcement department or by the shopkeepers and articles were lying in front of their shops. It may be mentioned that during mock drills in the past, fire teams were unable to find a clear passage in front of the shops. They had complained that the enforcement department was not taking any stringent action against the shopkeepers to make them remove articles from the passage except for issuing challans. Even the electric wires criss-cross over shops. Most rehri market traders justify encroaching on the corridors because their stalls being "too small". Many dhabas and tea stalls are located deep inside the markets and their stoves and gas cylinders pose a risk to the market safety. The luckiest are the shopkeepers of the rehri market at Mani Majra who just have to participate in these special meetings to know what steps they should take towrds fire safety. But, during a visit to the market the shopkeepers narrated the ground realities and said in the past three years not even a single fire mock drill had been organised by the department in their market. No longer in practice In 2000, former Mayor Shanta Abhilashi had constituted two committees to educate traders of rehri markets on the fire safety norms and anti-encroachment measures. A police team was also deputed at each rehri market for two months to keep a strict vigil during the late hours. In 2008, the fire committee had asked for a fire safety survey of rehri markets and removal of encroachments, which hamper the movement of fire tenders. In 2010, a special enforcement team was constituted to keep a check on the encroachments in rehri markets in order to curb fire incidents during the summer season. The enforcement team was accompanied by a fire official of the area to check the fire extinguishers and fire arrangements made by the market associations in their respective areas.

2 of CITCO station staff found guilty of fuel pilferage
Chandigarh, May 17 While holding a clerk, Rajiv Kohli, and a junior salesman, Ramesh Kumar, responsible for negligence, the vigilance has recommended departmental action against the duo. Sources said the report was yesterday received by the office of the Managing Director, CITCO. A vigilance inquiry into the case had been ordered last year by the Adviser to the UT Administrator after the matter was reported in these columns. The vigilance team has found that 3,378 litres of diesel was unaccounted for. Initially, a pilferage of over 16,000 litres of fuel had been reported. The shortage in fuel was noticed during a check of the accounts. It had been alleged that tampering was done with the stock register by using white fluid. A similar pilferage was reported from the filling station at Sector 56 earlier. At least 18,067 litres of unleaded petrol worth Rs 12 lakh had been unaccounted for between April 1 and August 18 last year. 5,918 litres of diesel recovered in 2 months
In November, 2011, the shortage of diesel had been recorded at 9297.34 litres (after adjusting the normal losses) but in December, 2011, and January, 2012, the shortage of diesel has come down to 3,378.04 litres. This means 5,918.94 litres of diesel has been generated or recovered between November, 2011, and January 2012 in two months time.

Sexual harassment charge against doc
Chandigarh, May 17 The drama sparked off yesterday when one of the women technician of the department thrashed him in his office for allegedly making advances on the pretext of getting her admission to PhD. She has completed her MSc course. The matter, however, was settled when the duo mutually decided to end the issue and not lodge any complaint. The other members, however, filed a complaint against the doctor, who, they alleged, was in the habit of luring girls by making hollow promises. They also alleged that the doctor's behaviour was not acceptable and he had sent lewd SMSes to many women employees, who, however, had ignored his advances. Following this the authorities have marked an inquiry to Prof Savita Malhotra, chairman of the committee against sexual harassment. Meanwhile, Professor Malhotra said she had nothing to say in this regard. The PGI spokesperson, Manju Wadwalkar, however, said the action would be taken as per the rules.

Power staff rectify fault in underground cable
Chandigarh, May 17 According to the information, the department had detected two faults, one at Sector 19 and the other at the roundabout of Sector 27-28. The officials rectified both the faults at around 2 pm. After the fault in the cable had occurred on May 14, the load was transferred to the other supply lines. The residents of Sector 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23 and Sector 24 had faced a tough time for nearly eight hours on May 14. When the department shifted the load to another supply line of Sector 52, the residents of that sector experienced unscheduled power cuts. An official of the electricity department said now the situation was under control. The department had sought help from its counterpart in Punjab as it had no functional fault-finding equipment. The department had bought fault-finding equipment in 1996. As the machine had outlived its life span of 10 years in 2006, it has developed a snag and has not been working properly since then.

Residents get muddy water
Zirakpur, May 17 “Nothing concrete has been done so far to solve the problem. Only false promises have been made,” says Surinder Kumar, a resident of the colony. “Residents have been falling ill due to the consumption of contaminated water. As we have no option, we have to put the water in utensils and wait for hours before use for the mud and other impurities to settle,” says Rampher.

College BSc students can opt geology, geography
Chandigarh, May 17 Kumar said that in the present day of globalisation there is an increasing demand for an interdisciplinary approach in teaching so as to better understand the natural and human environments as well the interactions among them. “It is the need of the hour to understand the processes shaping environmental and societal development over space and time. However, our current curriculum was not conducive to creating a wider spectrum of opportunities to our students for achieving academic excellence,” he said. He added that the importance of studying geography and geology with sciences leads to theoretical approaches and practical research findings can be applied to problems of environmental management in various physical, cultural, political and socio-economic contexts both at the national and global level. An interdisciplinary curriculum at the undergraduate level will confer bachelor in science degree, to the students. The proposed provision would help the students in more academic fashion and the specialist nature of the programmers would make the graduates highly marketable and have a wide range of employment, with government and private agencies, typify by computer software development, hydrology in developing countries, meteorology, remote sensing research and operations, river authority management, publishing, locational analysis and transport planning, travel and recreation management and environmental impact assessment (EIA).
