Blind murder case solved
Wife among three accused arrested Jaswant Shetra
Jagraon, May 24 After this, the police had registered a case against unidentified persons and begun the investigation. The deceased was identified as Amarjit Singh of Gahaur village near Mullanpur Dakha. One of the three accused arrested by the police include victim’s wife Sukhdeep Kaur, while the other include two youths Satnam Singh, alias Satti, and Karamjit Singh, alias Tinku, both residents of Mandi Gobindghar. The alleged illicit relationship of Sukhdeep Kaur with both the youths Satnam Singh and Karamjit Singh proved to be the main reason behind the murder of Amarjit Singh, claimed the police. SSP Jagraon Gurpreet Singh Toor said Sukhdeep Kaur came in touch with both Satnam Singh and Karamjit Singh through her account on social networking website Facebook around five months ago, following which Sukhdeep Kaur developed illicit relationship with both Satnam Singh and Karamjit Singh. According to Toor, for some time the relationship went on unnoticed, but after a couple of months Sukdeep’s husband Amarjit got suspicious about the activities of his wife and started tracking her. “Amarjit ultimately came to know about the illicit relationship of his wife with Satnam and Karamjit,after which he tried to stop his wife from meeting both youths. But even after this, Sukhdeep did not stop meeting both youths, which resulted in regular fights between the husband and wife,” revealed the SSP. Toor further said that on May 11, Sukhdeep hatched a conspiracy along with Satnam and Karamjit to eliminate her husband Amarjit Singh from their way. Under this pre-planned conspiracy, Sukhdeep took her husband to Ludhiana with the plea of checking the eyesight of their son. After reaching a hospital at Ludhiana, Sukhdeep also called Satnam and Karamjit there and introduced his husband to them as her relatives, said the SSP. “As Sukhdeep already knew that her husband had to visit a village near Moga for an urgent work and he was getting late, she asked her husband to leave with both the youths saying that both of them are also going towards Moga. Unaware of the plan, Amarjit agreed and left with both the youths in a car,” said the SSP. According to police, on way to Moga, Karamjit and Satnam got Amarjit to share some drink with them. While drinking, one of the youths added some toxic drug in the drink of Amarjit and then restarted their journey. After a few minutes when Amarjit fainted, both youths stabbed him to death with a knife and dumped his body outside Sohian village near Jagraon late in the night. Before leaving, they also took away some gold and wallet carrying Amarjit’s driving licence along with them.The SSP added that it was the Facebook account of Sukhdeep which helped the police in cracking the mystery behind this murder, following which the police arrested Sukhdeep, Karamjit and Satnam. The police has also recovered the knife used in the crime as well as wallet and driving license of deceased from their possession. During the preliminary investigation, the accused confessed their crime before the police, added the SSP. The police has registered a case under sections 302, 404, 34 of IPC and the further investigation is on.

'Tow-away cop' transferred
Ludhiana, May 24 Sharma, who took the reins in January, earned accolades and brickbats for strictly imposing the tow-away drive. For the first time, roadside eateries were removed from the Rani Jhansi road that was a major bottleneck. Similarly, the police cracked its whip on erratic parking of vehicles outside shopping malls and launched the tow-away drive. The move proved fruitful and lessened the chaos on the Ferozepur road. The ACP, along with SHO (Traffic) Manjinder Singh, identified unnecessary traffic blockage points and plugged small diversions to smoothen traffic flow. Dr Ajit Anmol Singh Gill of a heart care centre said, "Perhaps for the first time, city residents have started obeying traffic rules. Yes, the officer was strict, but that was the only method to teach the politically well-connected residents of the city, who ignore traffic rules."Raj Avasthi, a businessman, said, "For the first time, the police could manage to solve traffic problem in Ghumar Mandi and any car parked beyond the yellow line was towed away. By doing so the officer ruffled many feathers, but he went on to do his job. We need such officers to restore respect and faith in the police." RS Patial of DAV Schools said due to the efforts of the Assistant Commissioner of the Police, the traffic problem was eased to a great extent. The city needs more such officers to keep a tab on traffic and law and order problems. Meanwhile, there is little to rejoice for traffic violators as the Commissioner of Police has appointed Naveen Singla as the new ACP-Traffic to replace Swapan Sharma. Both are batchmates and said to be good friends.

Allotment of petrol pump site
Ludhiana, May 24 Not only this, as against the recommendation of the state government to recover the entire cost of land in lump sum, the then Trust officials allowed the allottee to deposit one fourth of the cost of land on allotment and the balance in five equated installments with 12 per cent interest. The internal and external audit report of the LIT for the year 2010-11 states that 1577.77 square yard of land was allotted for a petrol pump in June 1994 at the rate of Rs 3250 per square yard, whereas the Collector (Deputy Commissioner) had fixed the rate of this particular piece of land at Rs 6090 per square yard. Taking serious note of the events that had preceded the process of allotment, the auditors observed that the beneficiary Raju Sharma had made a request in April 1994 for the revision of the rate fixed for the allotment of the site on the ground that the site was not commercial. "Being in agreement with the applicant, the then LIT authorities took up the matter with the Collector and got the rate revised to Rs 3250 per square yard. In doing so, the Trust officials had completely ignored the state government notification dated January 23, 1994, vide which the said site was declared a commercial site and reserved for a petrol pump," the auditors asserted. The audit report, a copy of which was obtained under the Right to Information Act 2005 by Arvind Sharma, , secretary, Council of RTI Activists, further objected to the allottee being allowed to deposit one fourth of the cost of land on allotment against directions of the government for the payment of entire cost of land in lump sum on allotment. It further says that the Examiner, Local Fund Account, Punjab, Chandigarh, had also said, vide its letter dated Sept 6, 1996, that the LIT had suffered a loss of more than Rs 43 lakh in allotment of this site. The state government, the auditors pointed out, had, after discussing the matter at various levels, decided to initiate action under section 72-A of the Punjab Town Improvement Act 1922 and accordingly a letter was written to the deputy commissioner to take further necessary steps in this direction. The Council of RTI Activists has urged the state government to fix responsibility of the officials for this financial irregularity and take necessary action for making up the financial loss that was suffered by the LIT due to the allotment of land at a lower rate.

Sale of cut fruits goes unabated
Ludhiana, May 24 However, the health department has intensified its campaign in periphery areas like Jagraon, Payal, Doraha, etc. The summer season is in full swing and people try to chill out by having cold drinks and eating seasonal fruits like melon, watermelon, papaya, etc. Many commuters love to eat cut fruits, which are being sold by vendors at different places in the city. Ironically, customers are not aware of the fact that some of these vendors use artificial sugar and colour to make it more colourful and sweet, following which consumers fall sick after eating them. Not only this, despite instructions of the health department, gol gappa vendors are also serving eatables without wearing gloves. It has been observed many times that even the customers do not ask the vendors to wear gloves, which are mandatory for serving the eatables to avoid any type of infection. District health officer, Ludhiana, Dr Kulwinder Singh said, “We have already started keeping a check on hygienic conditions in the city. Only yesterday, we came across over ripe papayas at the Old Sabji Mandi, which we got destroyed.” But he tried to evade the answer to the query when asked as how many rehari owners selling cut fruits in an unhygienic way have been checked in a week. He said, “We have acute shortage of staff with us, as we have to keep a tab on many aspects.” Inspection at Doraha

People shift to public transport
Students, employees wait for buses, taxis to reach schools, colleges, offices Mahesh Sharma
Mandi Ahmedgarh, May 24 Though momentarily, employees and businessmen, restricting use of scooters, motorcycles and cars for commuting between their residence and the place of work, have started traveling by bus and train. Families, which once used to send their wards to educational institutes, located in other towns and cities in their own vehicles, have started looking for others who would share expenses of taxis. Investigations by The Tribune revealed that the latest and the steepest hike in petrol prices had worst affected the lifestyle of middle class families. Those using cars have started contacting their colleagues and friends for pooling vehicles in routine. Students and employees, who earlier, used to commute in private vehicles, were seen waiting for buses and trains on first day after the price hike. Avtar Singh Taari, an organiser of a transport group said a large number of families sending their wards in private cars to educational institutes at Ludhiana and other cities had approached him for hiring buses and taxis on sharing basis, immediately, after the announcement of increase in petrol price yesterday. Prince Sharma, a contractor of local Jawahar Nagar, who, earlier, used to commute to his residence and Ludhiana in his car, said he would be sharing vehicle with one of his cousins. Inderpal Walia and Dr Manoj Sharma, officials of an industrial unit, are among those who adjusted their timings with intent to save expenses by sharing vehicles with the other passengers. Manmohan Singh, a local businessman, said he had advised his employees not to misuse a scooter and a motorcycle meant for visiting various clients of his organisation due to the hike in petrol hike. Tarsem Garg, an office-bearer of the Social Welfare Organisation, said that members of the organisation had been asked to stop bringing their vehicles to their shops in routine. This, besides compensating rise in petrol prices would also help in solving the traffic problem in market as there is lot of rush these days. Investigations further revealed that bus and tempo operators got more passengers, dominantly commuters today morning. On the other hand, officials of some departments, including commercial banks were unconcerned about the hike in petrol prices. Rather some of them, who are conservative in using vehicles, are happy as they are paid for the fuel consumed by them on a monthly basis according to their rank and official duty performed. Members of award staff of all nationalised banks were entitled to receive 15 litres of petrol, whereas those performing duty as JMGS 1, 2 and 3 were entitled to get 65, 80 and 90 liters of petrol, provided they own a four-wheeler.

Left parties stage protest
Ludhiana, May 24 Terming it as a bolt from the blue for the common man, the party activists maintained that the hike in petrol prices is bound to have a cascading effect on the inflation in general and prices of all essential commodities in particular. Speakers at the rally said the opposition parties had cautioned the government against deregulation of the prices of oil in the country which would give a free hand to the oil companies to raise prices at will and hit the common man hard. Demanding an immediate roll back of the increase in prices of petrol, leaders of the left parties also called upon the Punjab Government to rationalise the taxation burden on petrol in the state, which was the highest in the country as compared to other states. "The steep, and highest ever, hike in petrol prices coupled with continuing devaluation of rupee has thoroughly exposed the bankruptcy of the economic policies of neo-liberalism. The statement by the Finance Minister, Pranab Mukhrjee, that the government has no control on the oil companies now further exposes the mockery of the government," they remarked. The protesters reminded the government that each time the prices of petrol and diesel were increased; the prices of essential eatables and other items go up automatically, which hit the common man's budget. They also reiterated the suggestion made by left parties to create a reserve fund at the level of the government to adjust the variation in the prices of crude oil in the international market.

Rupee sinks, steel prices rise
Ludhiana, May 24 “Dollar sensitivity has increased the cost of steel making and thus increases pressure on the steel units’ margins. In Europe and elsewhere, the weak economy has led to weak demand. Steel prices, too, have fallen in those regions. Any gain that the Indian steelmakers expected to have by pushing higher export volumes has also been hit,” said Badish Jindal, president of the Federation of Punjab Small Industries’ Association. The rupee declining to a new low of 56.8 to the dollar added to the woes of the industry. Analysts feel the largest impact will be on coal imports. “It is the impact of declining value of the rupee that the price of steel is being increased. On one hand, international buyers have started asking for discounts due to decline in the rupee value, but the reality is that the input cost has taken an upward trend,” added another industrialist, Rajan Kalra. “The fall in the value of the rupee by nearly 20 per cent in the last few months is mainly going to affect imports of coal by the Indian companies. Since steel manufacturers mainly rely on imports of cooking coal, it is likely to hit them. A 15-20 per cent dip in the global input prices has been more or less similar to the fall in the rupee exchange rate,” added an expert.

MC chief initiates cleanliness drive
Jagraon, May 24 The president was leading a cleanliness drive initiated by the municipal council in the town with the aim of motivating the general public for keeping their surroundings clean and providing cooperation to the municipal council employees in maintaining hygiene in the town. Though the municipal council had invited all 18 councillors to take part in the drive, unfortunately, only one councillor, Satish Kumar Pappu, accompanied the president to take part in the drive. However, the MC president looked quite upset and disappointed due to the absence of remaining 17 councillors during the drive. Expressing his dissatisfaction over non-participation of other councillors in this drive, Dhir was forced to say that when the councillors who have been elected for the service of the public are not serious on the issue, it is not possible to effectively motivate other people of the city for this cause. But despite this, the MC president and Satish Kumar Pappu accompanied by some employees of the municipal council carried out this drive in various areas of the town to give a message to the residents to come forward and help improving the sanitation level of the town.

The increase in the prices of petrol will also be a crushing burden on the family budget of ordinary people.

Now PU on FB, Twitter
Ludhiana, May 24 "It is a positive step for dissolving the formal barrier between the faculty and students, such a platform is needed in our local colleges as well. We should use the virtual space for something constructive," said Gagan Makhija, a student pursuing graduation of KCW. Hailing the move, Harleen Singh, a student pursuing mass communications from PU said that it has proved very beneficial for them. "In addition to this the SMS alerts on campus placements and guest lectures is an added advantage for the students," she said. Sukhpreet Dhaliwal, pursuing engineering from a local college said, "We have fan pages of different schools and colleges on the FB but colleges should themselves start their own pages so that students are updated about the new courses and curriculum. The PU has taken the lead and colleges at the local level should follow them," said he. "It is a novel idea if colleges also go online. "After college most of the youngsters are online surfing, chatting or updating their status messages on FB and twitter. PU's departments entering the virtual world are a welcome step and I recommend the local colleges should also make their web pages and profiles. Most of the teachers do have but if a page is dedicated to the college it will prove really beneficial and students can be made aware about the guest lectures or any other extra curricular activity through these sites," said Sheetal, a lecturer at a private college.

Delay in results makes students anxious
Ludhiana, May 24 "I have missed my tuition to know the results. The school authorities told us that due to the unspecified problems, the result would be declared late. The time of announcement is very crucial for a student. The delay was very unfortunate," said a student from BCM School. "I have been waiting for result since morning. The whole day passed praying to God. I am expecting at least 9.8 CGPA. The Board should declare the results on time. It gets really tough for students,” said Rahul, a student. "Not only I but also my family was equally anxious for results. They have been asking me about the result throughout the day. I have nothing to tell them," Some students, however, saw the brighter side of the delay. "I am expecting a good score. So, instead of the simple muh meetha, it would turn into a late night party with friends and family," said another student.
