Infant dies of suspected diarrhoea
Ludhiana, July 28 The baby's mother Lalita and father Inderjeet Gautam, who are in a state of shock, said: "Neha had four-five bouts of loose motion on Thursday morning and vomited once. She also had high fever. We took medicine from an RMP doctor. The loose motions and vomiting stopped, but fever shot up. She breathed her last on the way to hospital in the evening." The couple has another daughter who is three years old. Inderjeet Gautam said: "None of us are suffering from diarrhoea. Neha was on bottle-feed since her birth. We used to boil the bottle once a day and after every feed wash it with detergent." Asked if they ever attended an awareness camp of the health department in the area, he said: "I have been living here for the last four years and have never come across any such camp. But this morning, many doctors, ANMs and other staff of the health department visited our house and asked us about Neha's medical history." The district epidemiologist, Dr Puneet Juneja, said: "We held a check-up camp in the area today. At present, four cases of acute diarrhoeal disease with no dehydration have been reported . Out of these, two patients are below five years of age and two are adults. They have been given ORS packets." Septicemia likely
Since the cases are sporadic and not confined to one street and the number is not high, it is not an outbreak of acute diarrhoeal diseases. Neha was suffering from high fever and her parents took her to a local practitioner, who advised her to be admitted. She was not admitted to hospital and she died. All her other family members are all right. The possible cause of her illness is septicemia and not
diarrhoea.

Inderjeet Gautam, father of the deceased, said: "After about 10-12 days I saw many safai karamcharis lifting garbage. They should lift garbage every day. Not only MC employees, but also the health staff visited the area today and made people aware about water and vector-borne diseases." Sham Sunder, a resident of Gurmel Nagar adjoining Geeta Nagar, said: "There is no sewerage system here and drain water is everywhere." The health department teams surveyed four streets in the immediate vicinity of the area comprising 1,000 residents. The team distributed chlorine tablets and ORS packets among residents. Health education pamphlets were also distributed, urging people to use boiled/chlorinated water. They were also told not to eat cut or overripe fruits. About 292 patients visited the medical camp and were treated for various ailments. None of the patients required admission. The Municipal Corporation team was also working in the area and was told to increase the chlorine levels in water being supplied to the area and also improve sanitation. The District Epidemiologist, Puneet Juneja, said: "We have been working in coordination with the Municpal Corporation. About a week ago, we got to know through ANMs about garbage dumps and got them lifted after informing the sanitary inspector.'' Appeal to public
The Civil Surgeon has appealed to the public to call at control room no. 01612444193 in case of a complaint so that timely action could be taken. Drainage pipes are small
Sewerage is still to be laid here. A road is being constructed along the Budha Nullah. Due to this, drain water is now flowing to the nullah through small pipes. Residents keep throwing polythene bags in the drainage water, choking the pipes. We have told people to throw garbage in dustbins and have asked safai karamcharis to lift garbage every day. The sanitary inspector has also been told to ensure cleanliness in the
area. |

Powercom fails to meet demand
Ludhiana, July 28 Even after imposing a ban on the use of ACs in
PSPCL, the corporation has failed to improve the situation. Power officials said overloading had aggravated the problem. As the monsoon has not spread well, things have gone from bad to worse. Residents are reeling under frequent power cuts. PSPCL officials admitted that a five-hour power cut was being imposed everyday, but residents lamented that they were facing outages every hour. Chief engineer KL Sharma said, "We have to supply power to fields also. Moreover, the humid weather has added to our woes as it has become difficult for use to meet the supply-demand gap." |

Green belt or concrete ground?
Ludhiana, July 28 Horticulture wing officials do not even admit that debris is being dumped on the green belt, but when The Tribune team visited the spot, debris could be seen scattered on a large portion of the green belt. This is the same green belt where trees and plants were damaged after some safai karamcharis set garbage afire in June. Residents said this was one of the worst maintained green belts of the city. “We think we are living in a posh locality, but the horticulture wing is not making any efforts to maintain it. Bushes have grown and the newly planted saplings have dried up even during monsoon,” a resident claimed. Landscaping officer Surinder Kumar refused to admit that debris was lying in the green belt. But when told by The Tribune team that it had photographs to substantiate the claim, he immediately said it was the responsibility of the bridges and roads wing to get the debris cleared. MC Joint Commissioner AS Sekhon, who heads the horticulture wing, said when Malwinder Singh Jaggi was the MC Commissioner, he had written to him regarding the issue. “But now he has been shifted. I will take up the matter with the department concerned,” he said. Not our job
I have not received any communique in this regard from the landscaping officer. The debris is in the green belt, so the horticulture wing should remove it as it is the one maintaining it. If our house is unclean, we clean it ourselves. But if they want us to clean the green belt, we don’t have any problem doing
so. |

Will start boating facility at Buddha Nullah, says MC Commissioner
Ludhiana, July 28 It was an altogether different kind of ride for the newly appointed Ludhiana Municipal Corporation commissioner who visited the Budha Nullah here today. Verma paid a visit to the Nullah and the two Sewerage Treatment Plants (STP’s). Verma termed his visit as the one to the “Darker side of Ludhiana”, which he plans to make “not so darker” in the years to come. Accompanied by the senior MC officials including Joint Commissioner, AS Sekhon, Rakesh Kumar Verma, went to the Sewerage Treatment Plants in Bhattian and Jamalpur, the bio-medical waste treatment plant at Jamalpur, solid waste management plant and dumping ground at Jamalpur, slums of Dhandari Khurd, Fauji Colony, Sherpur, Baba Deep Singh Nagar and Ganda Nullah covering project. After visiting these projects, Verma reached the Budha Nullah. An MC official, who had accompanied Verma to the nullah, said that Verma was literally shocked on seeing the pollution levels of the Nullah. “The MC commissioner was visibly saddened on the state of Budha Nullah. He told us that he wanted full commitment from all the MC officials, who were directly linked to the cleaning and maintenance of Budha Nullah,” the official informed. When contacted for his reaction, Verma said, “I also visited the disposals which fall into the nullah. Our STP’s do not have the facility of treating the untreated water coming from factories and that is why it is falling directly into the nullah. A high-level team from the centre is visiting the city on Monday and it would hold a series of meetings with the MC officials as well as with the local industrialists regarding the setting up of a new Common Effluents Treatment Plant (CETP). Once, this CETP starts, the Budha Nullah will be a clean water body and day is not far when we would have a boating facility there,” claimed the MC Commissioner.

I personally feel that when the metro project starts in Ludhiana, the city will join the next level of cities and will be able to attract a lot of investment,” he said.

Chetan Bhagat keeps date with city
Ludhiana, July 28 He said, "My mother is from Ludhiana." He was amused and surprised that in the city known for butter chicken, hosiery and business, organisers took the "risk" to organise a session with an English author and about 900 persons were expected to visit the event. He said nobody was immune to criticism and even sadhus got worked up if criticised. "But one has to be like a lotus in the muddy water," he said. But some criticism is valid to an extent, as people say that "the language can be better, that there are too many love stories and I market my novels." With two Bollywood movies, including Hello and 3 Idiots, already made on his novels, another movie Kypo Chhe based on his novel Three Mistakes of My Life is in the offing, he says. Another movie based on his novel Two Sates is also being made, he informed. He said his new book called Book of Columns, is going to be released and has articles about "what young india wants". He added that he would like to write more about reaching the younger generation in smaller towns, and semi-rural areas. Talking about the movie 3 Idiots not following the storyline of Five Point Someone and the slight tiff with Rajkumar Hirani, he said he had to give freedom to filmmakers and take initiatives, but the core message had to be the same, he said. Talking about his message for the youth, he said youngsters today were ambitious and were more selfish concerned about "meri naukri and meri chhokri" but they lacked the exposure. "Now, Internet is everywhere, and there is no reason they shouldn't learn and be well-exposed and read. The system has to give exposure and opportunity to them," he added. He was in the city for a motivational session CEO -2020 at Guru Nanak Bhawan organised in collaboration with the LMA and Shelly's Media Track. The three-hour session focused on communication, innovating for survival with the changing times and incorporating technology.

Contribute to Wikipedia Punjabi, says representative
Ludhiana, July 28 "Interestingly, Punjabi was one of the first languages along with Odia and Assamese to feature on Wikipedia back in 2002, but there has been very less contribution by people to the Punjabi version of the website," said Surinder Wadhawan from Wikipedia, who was here at the CCIT institute, for the first-ever workshop Wikipedia Punjabi. "People probably turn back because they are either not aware that they can add, edit and correct all the information that is available on the website, or they don't know how to do so," said Wadhawan. "Wikipedia is a platform for everyone and one doesn't need to be an expert in an area to write about it. One can write whatever one knows about. All you need to do is to create an account and start contributing," he stated. The process has been highly simplified since November last year with the introduction of unicode input language. "The key map has also been provided on the website. Typing in Punjabi is extremely easy on the website, even if you have never typed in the language before, because alphabet been attuned to the English keyboard," he added. Shubhashish, a consultant with Wikimedia Foundation, said the website could become an asset for Punjabi language and Punjabi culture. "The best part is that it is a self-regulatory website as more and more people visit and contribute and edit the content, it becomes a collective knowledge base," he said. Punjabi writer Janmeja Singh Johl was also present on the occasion. Gurdeep Singh Guglani, who has contributed more than 250 articles to the website, asked the students to use the website. "It is extremely simple to use and everyone should contribute to create the knowledge repository for all in our mother tongue," a student said.

Jagraon DSP's statement sparks row
Jagraon, July 28 Surinder Kumar had stated this while addressing a press conference at Jagraon yesterday following the arrest of a youth with 5 gm of smack. The DSP had stated that several shops situated near the Ludhiana Railway Station and Lakkar Bridge were involved in the sale of these drugs. Reacting to the statement, Ishwar Singh stated, "There is no such area in the city where drugs are sold. It seems that the Jagraon DSP is not aware of the facts and ground realities and therefore I suggest him to clarify the facts before making such statements." He added that the record available with the Ludhiana police made it clear that a large number of drug peddlers had been arrested by the police since he took over the charge as the Commissioner and there has been a considerable decline in the smuggling of drugs. When contacted, Jagraon DSP Surinder Kumar said, "I had only said that the youth arrested with smack had confessed to have brought smack from Ludhiana, but my statement was presented in a wrong way," he added.

Coaches protest against sports dept
Ludhiana July 28 Coaches working with the Punjab sports department on a contractual basis protested at Guru Nanak Stadium here today. They urged upon the state government to regularise them and enhance their salaries. The 55 coaches, stationed at different centres across the state, had been working with the department for last four years on a meagre salary of Rs 9,800. According to Sanjiv Sharma, secretary of the Contractual Coaches Union, the sports department advertised 225 regular posts of coaches on July 14 last
year, but did not mention any priority for coaches already working. He rued that the advertisement did not mention experience and seniority of contractual coaches for consideration. A condition was added that the candidate should have won a medal in the sports discipline concerned. This had forced contractual coaches to file a writ petitiont to stall recruitment. Following court orders, the sports department again advertised on July 15 this year. But after verbal promises, the department did not give priority to experience and seniority of coaches working on contract, he added. "If the government does not meet our demands, we will boycott training and sports events," said Charanjiv Singh, president of the union. "We contribute a lot to make all events organised by the Punjab government successful. The department takes our services for elections duty on minimal pay, but when we demand our rights, the government pays no heed," said another coach. Said Jaspreet Singh, another coach, "The situation makes the future of sportsmen in Punjab clear. Who will be attracted to games when they know that their coaches are being paid Rs 9,800 as salary. The coach of the women's kabaddi team, Manjit Kaur, had been working on contract. She met with an accident near Bathinda during the second World Kabadi Cup early this year.
