Augmenting power supply to city Kuldip Bhatia
Ludhiana, June 4 At the review meeting attended by officials, Choudhry was apprised of major snags that had hit the power transmission and distribution system during the past few days, thereby affecting the power supply to almost the entire city. PSPCL chief engineer of Central Zone KL Sharma told the CMD that with fire destroying two 100 MVA transformers at the 220-KV Lalton sub-station and a new 100 MVA transformer installed on Ferozepur Road developing initial hiccups, almost one third capacity of the zone was gone. "Officials and staff worked on a war footing to reconstruct one of the damaged transformers at Lalton Kalan to rectify the snag in the newly installed transformers at Ferozepur Road. With both transformers becoming operational during last week, some 90 per cent of the demand of power is being met by the PSPCL while occasional load shedding is being exercised in some localities," the chief engineer said at the meeting. Choudhry observed with a bit of concern that the hub of industry in the state had no cushioning capacity as far as the infrastructure for power distribution and transmission was concerned, with the result that even minor snags in the equipment created major problems and people had to suffer. "The constraints in the way of providing uninterrupted power supply to the city have to be removed as early as possible, and the PSPCL management would go all the way to achieve this objective," he assured. In the course of the assessment of the progress of the new projects for addition of capacity in the zone, Choudhry was informed that the second 100-MVA transformer at the Lalton Kalan sub-station was expected to become functional on June 8, while another 160 MVA transformer, in the process of installation at the Ferozepur Road sub-station would be commissioned within next one month. "With the capacity addition, the city would have adequate cushioning capacity, and it would become possible to bring about significant improvement in the quality of power transmission and distribution," the PSPCL chief engineer asserted.

Demand for gensets, inverters up
Ludhiana, June 4 With the city reeling under massive power cuts in the sweltering heat due to the gap in demand and supply, people are making a beeline for the shops selling inverters and gensets, both branded and local ones. After the sub-station at Lalton caught fire, the city faced erratic power supply and city residents thronged the shops selling inverters and genets. Gensets were also hired on rent for a few days. "A lot of people took gensets on hire for nearly two-three days. It proved to be a good opportunity for us as we fell short of gensets and the queries of the people were pouring in. We charged Rs 100 per hour and managed to earn some quick bucks after the city was blacked out due to the fire in sub-station at Lalton," said Rakesh Kumar, dealing in the same of gensets on the Pakhowal road. "The demand is exceptional this year. Compared to the last summer, the demand has gone up three times at least. This year, purchases started early due to the long hours of power failure," added Bittu, dealing in the sale of inverters. Most shops have sold out branded products and the price of assembled models have also gone up due to the shortage of branded goods. "Earlier, on an average, we used to get 20 enquiries a day. Now, we receive at least 80 calls a day," he added. The basic model, which used to sell at prices ranging from Rs 13, 500 to Rs 14,000, is now priced above Rs 16,000. A basic model can help a household run four lights and four fans for at least three hours. Similarly, the price of a UPS that can power six lights and six fans for three hours is up from Rs 22,000 to Rs 25,500.

Spat over AC installation leaves 11 injured
Ludhiana, June 4 The neighbours, who fought with each other over the installation of an air-conditioner (AC), again exchanged blows and assaulted each other with sharp-edged weapons in Civil Hospital. Bittu Chopra, a Harbanspura resident, was installing the air-conditioner outside his house. Bisham Malhotra, his next-door neighbour, objected to the installation of the AC and complained that the heat thrown by the exhaust fan of the AC would raise temperature in his house. The argument turned ugly and both neighbours called their friends. The two groups first clashed at Harbanspura. After the clash, they were rushed to Civil Hospital, where they also tried to get a medico-legal-certificate. But during the time of treatment they again clashed and both the groups attacked each other with sharp edged weapons. A youth, identified as Jimmy Dang, was seriously injured in the clash and rushed to the CMC&H hospital for treatment. The injured were identified as Bisham Malhotra, his wife Saroj, sons Sunny and Honey, relatives Subash Uppal, Vikas, Jimmy and Chand. Sham Sunder, Anil Kapoor, Kiran and Ram Parkash were from the group belonging to Bittu Chopra. The police has recorded the statement of both groups and started investigation.

Real estate dealers make it big
Ludhiana, June 4 Experts in the property and real estate market assert that the extended payment schedule staggered over three years for property sold in an open auction and giving possession on payment of 25 per cent of the sale price, were two major factors that were being exploited to the hilt by smart players. “The facility of making payment in equated half-yearly installments over a period of three years is an age-old practice, aimed at providing benefit to the genuine buyers. But in the wake of steep rise in the prices of land and built-up property, and some of the commercial pockets commanding price of as high as Rs 1 lakh or more per square meter, the speculators and real estate dealers are taking full advantage of extended payment schedule to set a new benchmark for market rates in a particular locality,” sources maintained. If the real estate dealers in the city are to be believed, the public auctions for sale of property, conducted by GLADA or other government agencies, have become convenient tools for the market forces to artificially jack up the rates of property. “The property that went under the hammer is often taken by the real estate developers or their agents at abnormally high rates on payment of 10 per cent earnest money and another 15 per cent within one month of the auction. A majority of the buyers don’t come forward to pay the balance amount for the simple reason that they never intended to really purchase these particular properties as the sole objective of entire exercise being to raise the prevalent market prices to a new high and make easy money,” a property dealer based in Urban Estate said. Citing example of auction of plots in Urban Estate and Sectors 32-A, 38 and 39 recently, another real estate developer said the prevailing market price of plots and other property had gone up by almost 40 per cent immediately after GLADA sold the plots at a prices ranging between Rs 25,000 and Rs 45,000 per square yard. “Understandably, many of the bidders did not deposit the balance amount as they never wanted to buy this property in the first place. The money lost by them by way of 10 or 25 per cent of the sale price of the property was written off as a sound business investment,” the dealer commented. Maintaining that the prevailing policies for auction of property were in favour of speculators, Kulwant Singh, a city-based businessman, wanted the state government to amend the system of selling property through public auction. “If development agencies earnestly want to keep speculators away, they should impose a restriction on change of ownership for a specific period, or else the total sale price of the property be recovered within a period not exceeding six months or at least one year.” |

Rehri owners play cat-and-mouse game with health officials
The team of the health department has to keep on waiting for hours together for that particular “rehri” owner to come. At the end, they are left with no option other than destroying the unhygienic eatables. Recently, during a random checking conducted by the team of the health officials led by District Health Officer Dr Kulwinder Singh at the Sherpur Chowk, a “rehri” owner selling sugarcane ran away, but he left utensils and equipment behind. District Health Officer Dr Kulwinder Singh said: “We kept on waiting for its owner for almost two-to-three hour. But when nobody turned up, we destroyed all sugarcane and the juice.” It is not for the first time that health officers are facing this problem. An employee of health department said, “We often face this problem. Our efforts to conduct random checking get nullified when such ‘rehri’ owners flee from the spot on seeing our van. Mobile phones have become a handy tool for conveying the presence of health officials to other ‘rehri’ owners”. Ludhiana Civil Surgeon, Dr Subhash Batta, said: “The ‘rehris’ are allotted numbers by the municipal corporation, but now those selling eatables are being registered by the health department under the Food Safety and Standard Act. District Health Officer, Dr Kulwinder Singh, said: “We have pinned our hopes on the Food Safety and Standard Act. In it, ‘rehri’ owners selling eatables are supposed to get themselves registered. We are making them aware of it and fixed August 5 as deadline. With this, we will get all details of ‘rehris’ serving eatables anywhere in the district. The health department will issue ID numbers to them. Thus, we will be able to keep a check on the menace of unhygienic and adulterated food being sold by them. “People should also this in mind before eating food served by ‘rehri’ owners. Those who comes such violators can lodge their complaints at 0161 2444193,” he added.

Guidelines annoy teachers
Ludhiana June 4 Instead, the DGSE office has sent a layout of a diary to the schools. Teachers of the upper primary schools have been asked to arrange diaries on their own.

Teachers of government schools state, “If diaries are so important, the higher authorities should not have discontinued it.” Sandeep Singh, a teacher from local Government School, said, “It is true that teacher diaries are very helpful for pre-planning teaching methodology. Thus, the department should star sending dairies like earlier.

CICU for zero tax on export
Tribune News Service
Ludhiana, June 4 “The Rupee is depreciating regularly. Despite efforts put in by the government, it is not successful in controlling the devaluation of the Rupee. In 1991 a similar situation happened when Rupee was suddenly devalued from 18.86 to 28.38 and the government provided tax exemption to the exporters. It was a very successful measure leading to steep hike in the export in India,” said Avtar Singh, general secretary, CICU. In May 2011, the Rupee versus US dollar was close to 44.00 where as the current price is close to 56.00 so in a year Rupee has weekend by 27 per cent, correspondingly the Indian export price has increased accordingly. The export is not competitive presently and India is losing grounds to China, which is strengthening its export by improving quality and offering products at competitive prices. Chinese tax structure is also supportive to the exporters, added Upkar Singh, joint secretary, CICU. The Rupee closed at 56.23 on Wednesday due to oil importers increase demand, ahead of the end of the month. The global cues are providing trigger that the rupee was also being weighed down by deep concerns about country’s economic and fiscal conditions. CICU have urged the government to follow the same measure and announce no income tax from export income for the next five years. It will definitely lead to increase in export hence dollar inflow will increase strengthening the Rupee.

Philatelists disappointed
Ludhiana, June 4 "This delay in arrival of postage stamps has started happening very often. We wait for postage stamps to arrive on the date of release," said Mukesh, a postage stamp collector. The information about the arrival of a stamp is put on in advance on blogs and websites, and we keenly wait for postage stamps to be available at the post office. But the delay of four-five days is too much. Another philatelist said sometimes, philately enthusiasts kept sending postage stamps to foreign collectors and friends on the basis of date of release of the stamps, so the delay in arrival of stamps became disconcerting. However, an official from Circle Post Office at Chandigarh said that sometimes, the delay creeps in the case of non-government postage stamps in particular. As the department of posts invites proposals for stamps printing at least two years in advance, but sometimes these are accepted only a year in advance, leaving lesser time for printing and dispatch of the stamps all across the country. So the delay happens particularly for the proposals accepted just a year in advance, he said. The delay also happens due to transportation hitches, as most of the stationery of the department is printed at a press in Nashik, he said. |

PAU opens new seed shop
Ludhiana, June 4 Earlier, the seeds were sold at the farmer centre and office of farm superintendent, which were located in the interior areas of the university. Observing this need of the farmers, the university authorities had started selling seeds on the main road on a tractor-trolley for some time. But now, this has been replaced with a shop.

Dr Jagtar Dhiman, additional director communication, said, “The university always takes care of the convenience of farmers. It is a step towards our services to the farmers.” “Initially only seeds are available on the shop but after some time, literature and other products of the university would also be available,” he said. Hardeep Singh, a farmer from Mullanpur, said, “Earlier we had to specially visit the university campus. The farmers’ office is far from the main road, so it was difficult to approach. Now, one can buy the seeds from the main gate easily and it is more convenient,” he said.

High interest rate vexes small units
Ludhiana, June 4 This sector is the mainstay of Punjab’s economy next to agriculture and contributes significantly toward the generation of revenue and employment avenues. Most of the Punjab’s industry is in micro, small and medium sectors, but they still have to pay high rate of interest on loans as their cash credit limits for working capital are inadequate. Avtar Singh, General Secretary, Chamber of Industrial and Commercial Undertaking (CICU), said the banks were charging 14 to 16 per cent interest on loans to micro and small enterprises. He added that though the cash credit limit for a loan seeker should be 20 per cent of the projected sale figures of the approved project, but banks in general were not willing to grant this facility to MSEs. Upkar Singh, joint secretary, CICU, said, “There is an urgent need to provide adequate credit at cheaper rate of interest to the MSE sector, which has been marginalised under existing institutional mechanism. The banks should also offer special scheme for cluster development which will help in promoting industrial growth trajectory in our state,” he added. Stimulus packages
n Existing working capital limits should be enhanced by at least 25 per cent to meet extra expenses without additional collateral security. n
Interest rates should be brought down by 2 to 3 per cent for MSMEs. n
Women entrepreneurs should be provided credit at lower rate of interest up to Rs 50 lakh advances. n
About 50 per cent waiver of bank service charges for MSMEs should be provided. Credit schemes not implemented n
Grant of collateral free loans up to Rs 10 lakh to all interested units. n Grant of collateral free loans up to Rs 100 lakh to interested units under the CGITMSE Scheme.
