Change in drainage system
Ropar, August 19 Addressing a press conference today, the president of the association Roshan Lal, said no technical person can suggest going for such plan and they would oppose the move tooth and nail. It was on August 10 that the residents staged a dharna over the issue on the Bela road and had blocked the traffic. The protests sparked in the area when the workers of Water Supply and Sewerage Board tried to connect the pipelines laid by the board with other colonies of the town. The sewerage system in the locality was not able to carry the sewage of other parts of town and could collapse immediately leading to the insanitary conditions in the area, said Oberoi. A committee headed by Additional Deputy Commissioner (development) was to look into the matter and we have explained it to the committee but to no avail, he said. |

No first-aid kits during games
Chandigarh, August 19 The recent inter-school tourneys have witnessed a number of matches in almost five different events of the sports. When it comes to players’ safeguard, the department fails to provide a proper medical facility to them. A number of matches including of football, judo, tae-kwon-do, dodge ball were organised in the absence of the medical staff, here. “Games like football and judo need proper and immediate medical help, if required. But the officials have nothing to offer except a glass of water. The schools, where some tourneys are being organised, might have sick rooms which are not fit for players. A medical staff is needed at all the venues to avoid any untoward incident,” said Kulwinder Singh, father of a judo player. For the last many years, the department is organising the event in absence of medical staff. It can be seen that the officials fail to provide even stretchers during the inter-school football competitions. “The department is a part of the UT Administration and can ask for the medical support on a mere fee. No official has ever worked on the fact that the incident can happen anytime and the presence of a proper medical is needed for the players,” said the official. The state sports organisers, DPI school said, “The officials have been clearly instructed to have at least first aid kit with the table referee. I do not know about the exact situation but will ask the officials to look after the matter properly. As the organisers, it is our duty to safeguard the player’s talent,” said PS Brar. “We have been playing these tournaments for the past many years under various age-groups. Except few venues, we have never seen any proper medical facility on grounds. We sometimes, carry our own first-aid but a proper facility is always required. The things are approachable but all one needs is to wake-up the officials’ interest,” said some soccer players.
