municipal poll
Amritsar, June 15 Confirming this, Deputy Commissioner Rajat Agarwal said a three-member team of experts constituted by the State Election Commission today visited the city to probe the alleged hacking of electronic voting machines, as complained by the SAD candidate from the ward, Rajkumar Jolly. The results would be declared only after the completion of the probe. The team, which has almost concluded its investigation, is likely to submit the report to the police by this evening or tomorrow morning, said the DC-cum-district election officer. “The police will forward the report to state Election Commission, which would further pass the necessary instructions regarding the declaration of results,” said the commissioner. He expressed hope that the results would be declared within a couple of days. Meanwhile, booth number 9 recorded 54.06 per cent voting while booth number 11 recorded 55.72 per cent polling. The poll process passed off peacefully. People started queueing up for voting, which started at 8 am and concluded at 4 pm. Re-polling was ordered at the two booths by the state Election Commission following the complaints lodged by the presiding officers about booth capturing during the civic polls held on June 10. They had alleged that unscrupulous persons barged into the booth and misbehaved with the polling staff besides forcibly casting votes. Subsequently, separate cases were registered against unidentified persons and the report was submitted to Election Commission for further action. As far as the poll scenario is concerned, the SAD is most likely to capture the seat in view of the fact that the Congress candidate and main contender from the ward, Surinder Chaudhry, switched loyalty to the ruling party a day after the civic polls. Later, an independent candidate and Congress rebel Dinesh Kumar also joined the SAD.

4 new HC judges take oath of office
Chandigarh, June 15
The other three Judges administered oath by Acting Chief Justice Jasbir Singh are RP Nagrath (High Court Registrar-General), Rekha Mittal (Punjab Legal Remembrancer) and Inderjit Singh Walia (Jalandhar). At a ceremony attended by sitting and retired judges of the High Court, bureaucrats, relatives and advocates, the Judges swore to "bear true faith and allegiance to the Constitution of India as by law established". They also swore to "uphold the sovereignty and integrity of India" and "duly and faithfully and to the best of ability, knowledge and judgement, perform the duties of the office without fear or favour, affection and ill-will". The ceremony started with the warrants of appointment being read out. The development is significant as the High Court now has just 43 Judges against the sanctioned strength of 68. The number is expected to fall further with the impending transfer of Justice Nirmaljit Kaur to the Rajasthan High Court as a permanent Judge and Justice Alok Singh to the Jharkand High Court. The result of the shortage of Judges is there for all to see. The High Court has approximately two lakh pending cases.

Case filed but no action against factory owner yet
Jalandhar, June 15 The police swung into action following the publication of a report in The Tribune in this regard. However, relevant Sections of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2000, have not been included in the FIR. Nor has Varinder, owner of Maha Mai Industries, where the incident took place, or his son Paras been named in the FIR. Suspected of stealing some factory items, Nazim (13) was tied with a mesh grill and slapped repeatedly by Paras and others on Thursday. Inspector Vimal Kant, SHO, said the case had been handed over to SI Paramjit Singh for further probe. He said the names of the factory owner and his son would be included in the FIR after the recording of supplementary statements. To a query, he said: “Sham Lal is at large. Efforts are on to nab him.” Sarita, city coordinator for Child Line, Union Ministry for Women and Child Development, said she would take up the matter with the police. Nazim, a resident of Bashirpura locality here, was engaged by a sweeper to collect garbage. When the boy came to lift garbage at Maha Mai Industries on Wednesday, he allegedly picked up some items valued at less than Rs 1,000. The following day, he was detained and hit by the factory owner and his son.

Finally, jails dept sends proposal for promotion
Patiala, June 15 Sources said proposal for promotion of Deputy Jail Superintendents to the post of Jail Superintendent was hanging fire for the past many years due to court cases and delayed departmental clearances. “Finally, the proposal is in the pipeline and it would help officers get increased pay and seniority,” said an officer. A few years ago, sighting low pay scale and no promotions, out of the total 24 Deputy Superintendents selected to join in the Jail Department, only nine joined and the rest did not turn up despite repeated reminders. “A DSP in the police gets Rs 10,000 more than a DSP of the Jails Department. Coupled with tough working conditions, it gives place to corruption,” said a senior officer. The last Departmental Promotion Committee (DPC) of the DSP-level officers in the Jail Department was held in 2003. Over 23 officers in the rank of DSP have been awaiting their promotions for the over eight years. On top of this, staff shortage, condemned vehicles, old weapons and wireless sets have made life of officials posted in jails real difficult. “We have forwarded a proposal for the promotion of Grade-I officers and it would clear the backlog,” said IG (Jails) Jagjit Singh. “There was a delay due to some official reasons, but now we have sent the proposal to the Home Department and soon the DPC would clear the names”, he added. A jail official said, “As lower constabulary does not get promotion, they indulge in illegal activities and with staff shortage, they know that they have become indispensable for the department.” Punjab DGP (Jails) Shashi Kant, who will retire by the end of this month, said he would clear all pending promotion related cases before he vacates office.

Power cuts leave people high and dry
Patiala, June 15 In Patiala city, power cuts varying from two to three hours are being imposed. In Ludhiana, yesterday, there was a six-hour long power cut in some residential areas. It is learnt that because of some major technical snag, the power situation in some areas of Ludhiana district would be adversely affected for a few more days. In Fatehgarh Sahib, the situation is really bad with the Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) imposing unscheduled cuts of almost six hours in a day. Apart from domestic power consumers, farmers have also complained that they are not getting eight-hour power supply, as assured by the PSPCL authorities before start of the paddy season. Satnam Singh Behru, state unit president of the Indian Farmers' Association, said, "We were told by the Power Corporation functionaries that from the over-loaded sub-stations, they would provide six-hour power supply. But, contrary to this, even sub-stations, which are not over-loaded, the PSPCL is not providing even six-hour power supply. The situation is grim and we seek immediate intervention of Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal in this regard." Both PSPCL Director, Distribution, Arun Verma and Director, Generation, GS Chhabra were busy in official meetings. Sources said the state was reeling under power crisis because of less hydro-generation and sudden spurt in power demand after June 10. "The frequency of the Northern Grid is low and was recorded 49.5 during afternoon. At this frequency, we can't even over-draw from the grid," said a senior Power Corporation officer.

Four months on, rural doctors await salaries
Patiala, June 15 Talking to The Tribune, Dr Aslam Parvez, state president of the Rural Medical Services Association, said 1,186 rural dispensaries were handed over to the Rural Development and Panchayat Department in 2006 and as many rural doctors were posted there, one in each dispensary. “After working for five years, the services of the doctors were regularised in May last year but after that they have not received their salaries on time. We have time and again reported the matter to the state government but to no avail,” added Dr Parvez. “Despite years of hard work, the Zila Parishads are not serious on the issue of regular disbursal of salary to the doctors who are working in peripheral rural areas, “said Dr Jatinder working in Ferozepur district. He said they got their first salary after six months of regularisation of their services. The second salary was given after a gap of three more months and now, they have been waiting for the salaries for the past four months, he said. A lady doctor from Bathinda said her husband was on bed for the past many years and her daughter was studying in an engineering college. “I am the sole earning member in the family and it has become very difficult for me to run the house in these conditions when you are not getting salaries for four- five months,” she added. Meanwhile, doctors alleged that due to non-disbursement of funds for electricity and sanitation in rural dispensaries, they were also paying the electricity bills from their own pockets. “The Zila Prishads are supposed to give funds for electricity but there are only three-four districts in which these funds have been released. Therefore, the electricity supply in a few dispensaries has been disconnected and doctors and patients are compelled to bear the scorching heat,” they said. “How can we function properly in such adverse conditions without salary and electricity,” said Dr Anand Malhotra, organising secretary of the association. He further said there was a lot of difference in allowances in all the districts. Despite strict directions about the allowances, many districts have not given full salary to the rural medical officers. Ludhiana doctors alleged that in spite of strict orders, the local Zila Parishads are not giving them mobile allowance since the inception of the order. “Same is with the conveyance allowance, academic allowance and DA throughout Punjab” alleged Dr Shivdeep Kaur from Sangrur district.

No gurdwaras on caste lines, warns Takht
Amritsar, June 15 Akal Takht Jathedar Giani Gurbachan Singh said: “It has been brought to our notice that the people are not allowed to pay obeisance in a some gurdwaras because of their caste. This is wrong. The gurdwaras belong to all and anyone from any religion or caste can visit a gurdwara. No gurdwara committee can stop anybody from offering reverence at the shrine.” The Sikh clergy ostracised Bhai Dharam Singh Nihang for posting a video on YouTube questioning the authenticity of Guru Granth Sahib. The Jathedar said Bhai Dharam Singh had been summoned to clarify on the issue a number of times, but in vain. “We have decided to ostracise him. The Sikh Sangat should neither keep any contact with him, nor invite him to any religious or social event.” The Sikh high priests also directed the management committee of Gurdwara Khalsa Prakash, Windsor, to allow all to pay obeisance at the shrine. Shiromani Panthic Council chairman Manjeet Singh Calcutta hailed the Akal Takht edict directing the Sikhs not to raise gurdwaras on the basis of caste. He said the Takht should ensure that this was implemented at the ground level. Fears on Bluestar memorial baseless, says Damdami Taksal Reacting to the recent statements of various political parties over the Operation Bluestar Memorial, Damdami Taksal Chief Baba Harnam Singh today termed their apprehensions regarding it as ‘totally baseless’. In a statement, Baba Harnam Singh said The gurdwara being raised in the memory of Operation Bluestar would be in consonance of the traditions of Shri Harmandar Sahib and Shri Akal Takht, he added.

Youth Cong to hold protest on June 20
Youth Congress president Vikramjit Singh Chaudhary said the SGPC move amounted to inciting unrest in the state. Blaming Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal for the decision to honour Rajoana, he said: “Everyone knows that the SGPC is controlled by the SAD and Sukhbir Badal is its president. The YC leader said raising a memorial to militants killed during Operation Bluestar was totally unjustified and would only encourage hardliners, itching to make a comeback. He said Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal’s silence on the issue was a matter of concern. Equally dubious was the role of the BJP on the matter.Chaudhary said making heroes of killers amounted to conferring legitimacy on those who had acted against the State. Appealing to the government not to succumb to sectarian pressure, Chaudhary said the party would hold a peaceful protest in Amritsar. Later, more protests would be held till the SGPC reviewed its decision.

Vested interests trying to create rift: BJP
Chandigarh, June 15 The BJP leadership is unhappy that the SAD used all “resources” to ensure the victory of SAD nominees and some Independents in the civic elections, but left those of the BJP to fend for themselves. Most BJP leaders refused comment. They said any statement, if required, should come from BJP vice-president Shanta Kumar or JP Nadda. Rai claimed that prior to the civic poll, a meeting between senior BJP and SAD leaders had decided that irrespective of the poll results, the Mayor in Amritsar and Jalandhar would be from the BJP and in Ludhiana and Patiala the SAD. The meeting held at the CM’s residence was attended by Shanta Kumar, state BJP chief Ashwani Sharma, Bhagat Chunni Lal, national secretary Navjot Singh Sidhu, BD Tandon, general secretaries Ajay Jamwal and Kamal Sharma and Anil Joshi.

Two years on, shelter home awaits govt aid
Jalandhar, June 15 The manager, Mohinder Pal Swami, stated: “Out of the Rs 10-lakh financial aid, Rs 5 lakh has been sought each for ‘Nari Nirman’ and ‘Shishu Greh’ but we did not get even a single paisa last year and even this year so far.” While neither Social Security Minister Madan Mohan Mittal nor Director of the department Gurkirat Singh could be contacted despite repeated attempts, the CEO said it did not face much difficulty in arranging Rs 30 or 36 lakh per annum which was spent on taking care of abandoned kids at the shelter home. Thanks to the generous individuals and some NGOs who keep on donating for the noble cause. The shelter home was set up by AN Gujral and Pushpa Gujral, the parents of former Prime Minister Inder Kumar Gujral, for the women in distress eight years after Independence in 1955. A foreign-based NGO, “Pakhar”, has alone been providing Rs 4.5 lakh per annum to the shelter home for several years. Besides, several individuals and NGOs, including the Lions Club and the Rotary Club, donate various items to it from time to time. Meanwhile, Swami stated: “Nari Niketan had got financial aid worth Rs 1 lakh from the state government in 2010.” When The Tribune team visited the Nari Niketan on Thursday evening, Monica and Sunny Sama of Makhdoompura locality were distributing eatables among the inmates to celebrate their son Karan’s second birthday with them. Karan’s grandmother Sunita was joyous over his son’s decision on celebrating his birthday with the abandoned kids. At present there are 36 inmates from one month to 25 years of age at the shelter home. While girls above the age of three are kept at ‘Nari Niketan’, kids below the age of three are looked after at ‘Shishu Greh’. “Anyone may leave a kid in the cradle installed at the entrance of the Nari Niketan. Besides, the administration also sends abandoned kids to ‘Shishu Greh’,” Colonel Shoker added. Formally approved by the government, the Nari Niketan is also providing services as an adoption centre to needy Indians as well as foreigners. “As many as 60 applications for adoption are still pending with the Nari Niketan,” the CEO said.

For ‘path’ at Dukhbhanjani
Beri, wait till 2020
Amritsar, June 15 Dukhbhanjani Ber is considered as one of the most sacred places in the holy shrine’s complex. The list of those seeking to hold a “path” at this place is so long that besides commoners, big shots like Army officials, chief ministers, film actors, sportspersons and affluent businessmen are in the queue. In the past, megastar Amitabh Bachchan, the Ambanis of Reliance Group, Bharti Mittal of Airtel, NRI hotelier Sant Singh Chhatwal, actors Akshay Kumar and Rishi Kapoor had sought blessing through an “akhand path” at the shrine. Another most sought after place for organising an “akhand path” is Har-Ki-Pauri (first floor of the Golden Temple’s sanctum sanctorum). Here, bookings have already been done till 2017-18. Similarly, bookings are full for Lachi Ber and Gurdwara Thara Sahib up to 2017-18, followed by Gurdwara Baba Gurbaksh Singh till 2017. The Akal Takht features next in the list with “path” bookings made till 2016. For a “path” at Gumbad (the top floor of the sanctum sanctorum), one will have to wait till 2015. Sources in the SGPC said: “Bookings for Dukhbhanjani Ber, Har-Ki-Pauri, Akal Takht and Gumbad have been closed for the time being. It becomes difficult for us to maintain the record and hence no bookings are being done at present”. In the entire Golden Temple complex, there are around 40 to 45 pious places where “akhand path” is on round-the-clock with devotees from across the world making bookings for different spots. “Bheta” (offering) for organising an “akhand path” is Rs 4,100. The “path” goes on for 48 hours before the “bhog” ceremony is organised on the third day. The SGPC has 650 “pathis” for holding these “paths”. Besides Golden Temple, “akhand paths” are also performed at historic gurdwaras in other parts of the city. On an average, 35 to 40 “paths” begin daily in SGPC-run gurdwaras, including the Golden Temple. The SGPC also facilitates accommodation for those who make bookings. Though most of the devotees make it a point to be present at the time of the “path”, there are a few who do not turn up. However, that doesn't affect their booking and the “path” is performed as per schedule.

Withdraw taxes on petrol, diesel: CPM
Chandigarh, June 15 During a meeting of the party’s politburo, which was attended by representatives from several states in the country, the politburo welcomed the affirmative role being played by regional parties and said it was a healthy trend as the UPA government had led the country into a financial crisis. Party general secretary Jagjit Singh Lyallpuri, while addressing newsmen here, said resolutions had been passed in the meeting to call for reforms in the political and economic structure of the country besides appreciating the creation of a bloc of regional parties against the UPA. Regarding Punjab, politburo member Prem Singh Bhangu and Punjab committee secretary Kuldeep Singh said the SAD, which called itself a farmer’s party, should withdraw taxes on petrol and diesel. They also claimed that farmers were only getting five to six hours of power supply and that they should be given 15 hours uninterrupted supply for smooth transplantation of paddy.

Breach in Bist Doab Canal
Gakhlan (Jalandhar), June 15 Harbhajan Singh, a farmer, claimed that his recently transplanted paddy had been damaged. Another farmer Amarjit Singh said the water had inundated the fields where he had sown fodder for his cattle. Village residents claimed that there was a small cavity in one of the banks of the canal about half a kilometre beyond the breach site. They said when water started flowing into the fields of a farmer late last evening, he plugged the cavity and dug up the embankment at another site. The villagers also alleged that a diary owner was discharging sullage directly into the canal. This had turned the canal water filthy. Irrigation officials today monitored the removal of hyacinth and debris from the canal with a JCB machine. Sacks filled with earth are being used to plug the embankments. Parveen Kumar, Assistant Engineer, Irrigation, was at a loss of words to explain why the canal had not been cleaned in the dry season. “ The breach has not occurred on its own,” he claimed. Tehsildar Amanpal Singh visited the site to assess the situation.

Teachers to gherao CM’s residence on June 27
Patiala, June 15 Union president Gurwinder Rattan said their posts were published in 2009, but they got appointment letters almost after two years and that too after a lot of struggle. “Even after 11 months of issuing appointment letters, the government has not yet regularised our services as a result of which we are compelled to receive almost 10 times lesser salaries than regular master cadre teachers in the Education Department,” he said. Union general secretary Daljeet Singh said, “The Punjab government says that instead of protesting, the associations should seek an appointment with the Chief Minister and narrate their grievances. But our repeated requests for the past two years for an official meeting with him have been turned down.” “Therefore, we have decided to hold district-level protests on June 20 and gherao the Chief Minister’s residence at Chandigarh on June 27,” he added. He said there were more than 50 per cent teachers who have not received their salaries for the past 11 months even since their appointment.
