Relief to industry, residents face longer cuts
Ludhiana, August 3 However, in the wake of huge gap between the total availability of power and demand, the domestic category consumers will have to face power cuts of longer duration during the day. Under the revised power regulatory measures which take effect from today, three compulsory weekly off days for the category II and category III industrial units, and four weekly off days for category IV (arc and induction furnace units) have been withdrawn. From today onwards, all categories of industrial consumers, except category IV, will observe one weekly off day. Besides it will get 11 hours day time supply during normal working days. The revised power regulatory measures have apparently been announced following protest by the industry which has been facing the heat of the unprecedented power crisis for quite some time now. Several industrial bodies had announced to resort to indefinite strike and come out on the streets to protest against the failure of the state government and the PSPCL authorities to provide adequate power supply to the industrial sector. Sources in the PSPCL, however, maintain that with the power utility is facing a shortfall of anything from 15 to 20 per cent in the total availability of power from all sources against the prevailing demand. The duration of power cuts being imposed on domestic consumers is bound to go up if additional power supply is provided to industry. “The residential areas will have to face cuts of longer durations," admitted an official. He said that revised regulatory measures are aimed at providing uninterrupted power supply to domestic consumers during night. Apprehending more cuts to small and tiny industrial units located in mixed land use areas in the industrial capital of the state, the Federation of Punjab Small Industries Associations (FOPSIA) has condemned the revised power regulatory measures. President of the FOPSIA Badish Jindal said while some relief has been provided to the category II and category III industries, thousands of small and tiny units located in mix land use areas in the city and covered under category 1 will have to face scheduled and unscheduled cuts of more than eight hours during the day which would hit their production and many of them will be forced to shut their units. The PSPCL, Jindal said, was acting on a divide and rule policy to thwart the agitation by the industry as the revised measure would pit those located in designated industrial areas and mix land use areas against each other. Regulatory Measures Under the revised power regulatory measures which take effect from Friday, three compulsory weekly off days for the category II and category III industrial units, and four weekly off days for category IV (arc and induction furnace units) have been withdrawn. From Friday onwards, all categories of industrial consumers, except category IV, will observe one weekly off day. Besides, it will get 11 hours day time supply on normal working days. The residential areas will have to face cuts of longer duration. Industry hails relief The United Cycle and Parts Manufacturers Association (UCPMA), an industrial body representing 2,250 micro, small and medium enterprises units and Asia's largest body in single trade, has welcomed the relief given by the PSPCL to the industry. Gurmeet Singh Kular, president of the association, along with other office-bearers, said better power supply and curtailment of weekly off days would help the industry operate regularly, achieve the production targets and retain the industrial labour. The association also urged the PSPCL to withdraw the peak load restrictions on the industrial sector, which were still in place and were hampering smooth running of the industrial units.

City police cracks whip on eve-teasers
The drive against eve-teasing was conducted in the afternoon when around 20 policemen led by Assistant Commissioner of the Police (ACP) Gurpreet Kaur Purewal laid a naka on the road outside the Khalsa College for Woman, popularly known as “geri route” among city youths. The presence of the police came as a surprise for many who were seen taking an immediate U-turn on seeing the police. The youngsters nabbed by the police were seen calling talking to their ‘crisis uncles’ — politicians and policemen. Many were seen offering their phones and urging policemen to talk to politicians and senior police officials. However, their repeated requests went in vain. Many youngsters were seen apologising and promising that they would not indulge in eve-teasing again. Many youths claimed that they were visiting the college to pick their relatives. The college road wore a deserted look on Raksha Bandhan. However, barely 24 hours after the festival, it was choc-a-block with youths. “Nuisance will not be tolerated and strict actions will be taken against eve-teasers. We are not doing moral policing. We are providing safe passage to college students who are harassed due to the repeated incidents of eve-teasing,” said ACP Gurpreet Kaur Purewal. The action was taken following repeated complaints by parents of girl students studying in the college. Commissioner of Police Ishwar Singh had earlier issued a notice that the victims of eve-teasing could directly contact him and lodge their complaints. The college students, who were seen talking on mobile phones while coming to college on their scooters, were also pulled up.

A detailed presentation on the project was made by the Local Government Department and the Punjab Infrastructure Development Board with the top brass of the state government at a meeting held in Chandigarh on July 17.

"When this project would start functioning, Ludhiana will reach amongst a next level of cities," he said. The project will include two corridors covering the entire city. The first corridor, with a length of 15.798 km, is planned from Ayali Chowk on Ferozepur Road to Bhakhra Beas Management Board (BBMB) Power House on Chandigarh Road with a total of 14 stations.

No salary for 5 months
Mandi Ahmedgarh, August 3 Teachers said they would boycott Independence Day function first and Teacher's Day functions later if their salaries are not released. They urged the government to treat their service at par with other government employees. “It is on record that we have never received our salaries regularly since we have joined the service. While our other colleagues get salaries and dues almost regularly and we have to wait for months together every now and then,” said teachers led by Ajit Pal Singh Jassowal and Harvinder Singh Bilga, office-bearers of the state body of the B.Ed Teachers Front (Punjab). Regretting that they had been feeling embarrassed before their grocers and milkmen for not paying their bills, teachers alleged that they had to pay penalties due to delayed payment of bills and loan installments. Criticising the state government for alleged unconcern to their genuine demands, the affected teachers lamented that their financial condition had become so poor that even their children’s desire are to be suppressed. “What to talk of fulfilling demands of our children, we are unable to run our kitchen for obvious reason of not being paid salary for over five months,” said Jassowal and Bilga. They added their outfit had decided to launch struggle in a phased manner Incharges of various schools situated in the area maintained that the bills regarding various categories of teachers are to be prepared by the respective treasury officers and that unusual delay had been caused due to change in mode of payment of the salary.

College suspends professor
Ludhiana August 3 Professors, who were staging protesting against the college management said, “We are protesting as the college authorities have suspended professor Sunil Aggarwal, a political science teacher, without any reason.” Professor Rohit Kumar, president Punjab and Chandigarh College Teachers Union (PCCTU) local unit KLSD College said: “If the management had some problem with prof Sunil Aggarwal, then it could amicably solve the issue. Suspension was not only the available alternative. Even management has created the kind of atmosphere that has forced the non teaching staff to go on strike.” Meanwhile, the college management claims prof Sunil Aggarwal used foul language and blamed management with false allegations. So it suspended him by charging insubordination. The major conflict between teachers and college management is about the status of college as college management claims that college is self-financed (unaided) college so they want to work as a private institute. However, professors admit that the college is unaided but they expect all the benefits of aided colleges from management as the college is affiliated to Panjab University and UGC funded. Teachers claim that college management has not been promoting the teachers to senior scale despite they meet the eligibility for promotions. Sandeep Kumar Aggarwal, vice-president of College Management Committee said, “Not a single teacher meets the eligibility of promotion.” Another issue that worries teachers is that the college is going to drop the Bachelor of Arts (BA). Teachers, who teach graduation classes, feel unsecured. The college did not give admission to any student seeking admission in political science this year. However, Sandeep said, “College is a self-financed body so if the management feels any course is not profitable then it can drop it. We do have not any political science teacher in the college so we do not want to cheat any student. So we denied the admissions.” It needs to be mentioned here that there are 21 permanent teachers in the college, who used to protest against management in the past.

Bhattian STP's capacity up
Ludhiana, August 3 But even after its completion, the sewerage board officials have not made it fully operational and carried its trial runs only. Ever since the monsoon season started, the STPs in the city were not functioning properly and no proper passage has been made to drain out sewerage water. After the sewer disposals into the Budha Nullah were closed, the burden on the STPs had increased and there was an immediate need for their upgradation. Also, the less capacity of the STPs might also lead to water logging on the streets as the rain water could not be drained out properly. Due to absence of storm sewer in most parts of the city, the rain water goes directly into the sewerage lines, from where it reaches the STPs. And when the Bhattian STP becomes fully operational, the MC would be able to drain out 50 MLD additional water whenever it rains heavy. Speaking to The Tribune, MC Joint Commissioner A S Sekhon said that the Bhattian STP had been upgraded to 161 MLD from an existing capacity of 111 MLD. “The STP is presently on a trial run and soon it will be made fully operational. Once it becomes fully operational, the problem of water logging on the streets could be checked to a large extent. Soon, the other STPs will also be upgraded,” claimed Sekhon. The STP in Bhattian village treats water from ward number 1-15 of the city. This STP was upgraded after the centre government provided a grant of Rs 35 crore under the Jawahar Lal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM).

No clue to murder motive
Ludhiana, August 3 The Taranjit Kaur murder has left many questions unanswered. The first and foremost question is why would anyone kill a 60-year-old woman who has no personal enmity with anyone? If she was killed by some robbers, burglars or following a heated argument with rag pickers over the stealing of some material, as the police suspects, then why Taranjit did not retaliate? If at all it was a robbery murder, then why the robbers did not take away the gold jewellery she was wearing? If it was personal enmity then why particularly Taranjit was targeted and why not the other members of the family? In the meantime, as many as 25 rag pickers were allegedly picked up by the Model Town police for questioning in connection with the murder case. Rag pickers who frequent the Model Town area were let off after questioning. Further, the police is also scanning the footage of the close circuit television (CCTV) cameras, installed in the houses close to the residence where the murder took place. The police is primarily suspecting the rag pickers as the old desert cooler and television, which was dumped by the family on the roof of the house, were found on the ground floor on the day of the murder. "One thing is for sure. The murderer was someone familiar as this was the reason why the victim opened the gate and let the assailants enter the house," said SHO Ashok Kumar. The police today tried to contact Sukhdeep Singh, Taranjit Kaur's elder son, who did not attend her cremation. Sukhdeep's absence raised many doubts. He had remained in jail for nearly a year in connection with his wife Amanpreet Kaur's death. Amanpreet died due to strangulation under mysterious circumstance on June, 2008. Amanpreet's family has been accusing Sukhdeep and his family members of murdering their daughter. Sukhdeep is at present in a rehabilitation and drug de-addiction centre at Kotdwar in Uttarakhand. The police today reportedly wrote to the rehabilitation centre authorities and asked them whether Sukhdeep was in the rehabilitation centre on July 31. Sources said Sukhdeep was present in the rehabilitation centre on July 31 and he was still there. However, the police officials were reluctant to share the details of the conversation. Sources said the police today questioned several persons, including Amanpreet's relatives, in connection of the murder case. Questions Unanswered in Taranjit murder case
