Stand-off over Kajauli water continues
Chandigarh, September 5 The meeting was attended by the Chief Secretaries of Punjab and Haryana, the UT Adviser, besides other senior officials of Punjab, Haryana and Chandigarh. Haryana once again demanded 40 per cent share in the 80 MGD of water from the Kajauli waterworks (Phases V, VI, VII and VIII). Sources said Punjab told Haryana to get its share of water from phases V, VI, VII and VIII by laying separate pipelines. However, Haryana maintained that it would not allow Punjab and Chandigarh to lift any water from Bhakra before fixing its share. Haryana also objected to Punjab’s proposal for laying a wider pipeline for phases VII and VIII of the Kajauli waterworks. The sources said Haryana accused the UT Administration of reaching an "understanding" with Punjab without involving any of its officers to allocate the entire water of phases V and VI to Punjab. A senior official of the UT Administration said both states had no problem in giving water to Chandigarh. However, they were yet to solve their differences. At the meeting, the Punjab Government agreed to a proposal of the UT Administration for widening the diameter of the pipeline to be laid so that instead of 40 million gallons per day (MGD) of water, 80 MGD could be carried through the pipeline. The matter had reached the Punjab and Haryana High Court through a writ petition filed by Mohali councillor Kuljeet Singh Bedi seeking directions to expedite the construction of phases V and VI of the Kajauli waterworks, which would bring in an additional 40 million gallons of water per day to the tricity.

Postmortem fails to ascertain cause of student's death
Chandigarh, September 5 Nitika, a 14-year-old Class X student of Government Model Senior Secondary School, Sector 19, died under mysterious circumstances yesterday on the school premises. She collapsed all of a sudden during the recess. She was taken to the GMSH-16, where she was declared dead. Her postmortem, which was delayed yesterday due to her family’s initial disapproval, was conducted in the Sector 16 hospital this morning, after which the body was handed over to her family members who cremated her at the Mani Majra cremation ground. The relatives and parents of the deceased were in a state of shock over her sudden death. “She was a bright student and had big dreams,” said a grieving relative. Her father Ankush Kumar said Nitika was an adorable child. “Every day in the afternoon, I used to pick her up from school. My wife is yet to come to terms with her death,” he said. “We refused the postmortem yesterday because we knew it was a case of natural death,” said the father. Meanwhile, the viscera samples of her body have been sent to the CFSL, Sector 36. “The report will take a few weeks to come. Before that it will be difficult to ascertain the cause of her death," said Rajeev Vadhera, Medical Superintendent, GMSH-16.

pu Elections Tribune News Service
Chandigarh, September 5 Hectic campaigning was seen on the campus today. Student leaders of all parties were seen visiting all departments to garner support. There was less pomp and show and stress was on one-to-one interaction with students this time. Leaders and party supporters started campaigning early this morning so that they could cover the maximum possible number of students to garner support. NSUI leader Jaswinder Singh said on the last day of campaigning, he went across the campus and met as many students as he could with the party’s manifesto in a bid to garner support. “I apprised the students of the party ideology,” he said. Tents put up by student organisations wore a deserted look throughout the day as party supporters and leaders were moving on the campus in a bid to woo the voters. ABVP leader Dinesh Chauhan said while a group of his party supporters went to various departments to interact with students today, others informed the voters about the polling procedure.

P’kula set to get region’s first poison centre
Panchkula, September 5 In a bid to ensure that victims who take poison do not die while being taken to hospitals, a round-the-clock phone helpline facility will be provided to guide attendants of such patients on what needs to be done to reduce the effect of poison. A proposal has been finalised by the Health Department, which will soon be sent to the Haryana Government for approval. “We have finalised a proposal for setting up a poison information centre at the General Hospital. We will have a separate department with a separate staff, who will be trained to handle poison-related cases,” said a senior official of the department. He said, “There are cases where it takes time to bring a person who has taken poison intentionally or by mistake to a hospital and he may die on the way. The centre will provide a 24-hour helpline facility to extend help to the attendants of such patients.” Though the hospital already has treatment for poison, but its scope is limited as it takes a lot of time to know which type of poison is there in the body, which often delays treatment. “The poison collection centre will have doctors specifically trained to deal with poison-related cases,” said another official of the Health Department. The centre, which is likely to come up this year, will also provide consultancy to callers, guiding them on how to avoid poisoning and unnecessary hospital visits. “If the government accepts the proposal, the centre will be of great help to the entire region,” said Dr Sunil Gambhir. –– TNS

High drama at coaching centre
Chandigarh, September 5 When the team, including ADC Mahavir Kaushik, reached the institute to execute the demolition orders, as there were bylaw violations in the building where the coaching institute was being run, the owners of the building locked the gates from inside and did not allow the officials to enter the building.

Cases of attacks by cats, monkeys on the rise
Chandigarh, September 5 Over 500 cases of attacks by monkeys, cats and mongooses had been reported in the city last year while the number of such cases has reached 400 this year. Among these cases, the monkey-bite cases had remained the highest both the last year and this year. A total of 151 monkey-bite cases were reported at the government dispensary at Sector 19 last year while the number has already reached 110 so far this year. According to medical experts, rabies caused due to the bites of these animals can prove to be equally harmful as that of the bite of a rabid dog. The appropriate immunisation against rabies is a must for even a small scratch caused by these animals. Many patients have been treated at the Government Medical College and Hospital, Sector 32; the PGI and private hospitals as well for animal bites over the last one year. The best precaution against rabies is the immunisation of the victim immediately after bite. The bites of these animals can prove to be equally poisonous as that of a rabid dog, said Dr Poornima, in charge of the Sector 19 dispensary. According to the experts, the spread of rabies in the body is slow, yet if unattended, it can cause major difficulties to the victim. The virus travels through the blood of the victim and it can reach the brain and settle there before attacking the nervous system. However, it can remain dormant for months and sometimes even for years. The brain and throat of such victims get swollen and they can feel difficulty in breathing and drinking, said an expert. While 4,700 dog-bite cases had been reported at the dispensary last year, the figure has reached 3,700 so far this year.

Tests for rare neurological disorders introduced at PGI
Chandigarh, September 5 With the launch of these tests for patient care here today, the PGI has become the first public institution in the country to offer the service. The cost of each of these tests will be nearly half what is charged at private labs and the reporting will be done by experience neuroscientists, said PGI officials. The tests include genetic testing for epilepsy, muscular dystrophy, ataxias, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, migraine and retinitis Each of these 27 tests, which cost between Rs 6,000 and Rs 10,000 at private laboratories across the country, will cost between Rs 3,000 and 5,000 at the PGI. "These tests will primarily be introduced for patient care. But each of these tests will boost the research work at our institutes. The facility is available at various government institutions in the country. However, the utility has remained restricted to research work," Dr S Prabhakar, Head of Department of Neurology, said. These tests are available at private labs and hospitals in Delhi and Mumbai at exorbitant rates and are not within the reach of needy patients, said an official at PGI. A national seminar was organised at the Department of Neurology today to review the emergence and advancements in the field of molecular diagnosis. The experts gathered for the seminar concluded that genetic testing was complex, not well defined in Indian law and accreditation requirement was lacking. |
Timely treatment can check recurrent miscarriages: Expert
Chandigarh, September 5 While a number of couples these days are resorting to surrogacy, following two or three miscarriages, timely treatment can easily help women to sustain their pregnancies even after frequent miscarriages, said a senior consultant, Dr Preeti Jindal, while addressing media persons here today. The key causes for miscarriages among women aged between 30 to 35 years are deficiency of iodine and low intake of folic acid. Consulting experts at recurrent-miscarriage clinics immediately after a miscarriage can help in early detection of the cause. The investigations for the determination of cause for recurrent miscarriages take two months and the treatment costs a total of Rs 5,000, including the required tests and medication. "For those women, who are prone to miscarriages and conceive in late age like after 35 years, fall in the 'High Risk Pregnancy' group. In such cases, amniocentesis test should be conducted so that the status of foetus normality can be gauged. The test, called amniocentesis, is a certified preventive tool," said Dr Jindal. Nearly 30 per cent of the patients visiting the special miscarriages clinic at Max hospital in the last one year were found to be suffering from genetic abnormality. Another 20 per cent were suffering from thrombo philias, a condition where woman's blood thickens to an extent that the foetus gets inadequate supply which further results in miscarriages. Other causes of miscarriages include diabetes, thyroid and congenital disorder in uterus. Recurrent miscarriages lead to depression among women and the family tends to lose hope for child, said Dr Jindal.

Now, water tank to woo voters!
Chandigarh, September 5 In a similar gesture, one of the student organisations purchased a water tank for the Panjab University’s Dr HSJ Institute of Dental Sciences and Hospital, as students complained of poor water supply in the department. However, the department refused to accept the tank. A student party contesting the elections after knowing that the students of dental college demanded clean and sufficient supply of water purchased a water tank from a sanitary store in Nayagaon worth Rs 2,300. Sources said the student party offered the water tank to the department as a donation, however, the institute’s director refused to accept the water tank, which has a storage capacity of 2,000 litres. Officiating director of the dental college, Prof Ashish Jain, when contacted confirmed that one of the student parties had offered a water tank, however, they refused to accept it. “I immediately refused the proposal,” said Jain. Meanwhile, the party leader justifying their move said there was a need of additional water tank for drinking water in the department, following which they contacted an NGO to donate the water tank. Although the students parties have been taking students on a one-day trip to hill stations and offering movie tickets, the incident of donating a water tank is new, which is also counted as one of the violations under the Lyngdoh Committee recommendations. Offering freebies to the students is also violation of another clause, which states that no candidate contesting the elections can spend more than Rs 5,000. |

Think before casting ballot: Students for Society
Chandigarh, September 5 Sachinder Pal Singh, an MPhil student in economics department and general secretary of the society, said they were counselling students to vote for the organisations, which they think had worked for the students’ cause and had fulfilled the promises made in the past. The student bodies attract the voters by throwing lavish parties and organising trips, however, after winning, nobody even bothers to fulfill the promises made to the students, Singh said. Other members of the society are visiting all departments requesting the students to utilise their right to vote by making a choice of candidate rather selling their vote to any student party. We are requesting the students to cast their votes keeping in mind the ideologies of the student parties, Singh said. The members are building their network among the students and have asked them to spread the message. “We are informing the students about the society’s motives and background and hope to spread the awareness even after the elections,” said one of the members. The organisation is also campaigning against violence spread by the student parties in the campus and is requesting the students to ensure violence-free elections. |

Tough time for student bodies
Chandigarh, September 5 September 7 being a holiday due to the student elections followed by three more holidays is giving a tough time to the parties to ensure that hostellers stay back. The PU’s decision to announce September 10 (Monday) as a holiday in the view of student elections has added to the worries of student organisations banking on the hostel votes in the student elections. Although the party loyalists would stay back to support the leaders, the students disinterested in the elections have started moving back to their hometown to enjoy the long weekend. Student Organisation of Panjab University (SOPU) president Manoj Lubana said with only two days left for the elections, they were making each possible effort to convince the hostellers to stay back. “We are not emphasising that the students should stay back and vote for our party, but we are encouraging them to exercise their right to vote,” Lubana said. Echoing same sentiments, Panjab University Student Union (PUSU) leader Sumit Goklaney said the party’s girls’ supporters in the hostels have been assigned the duty to ensure that the girls stay back and vote for the party, similarly, in the boys’ hostels, the students are being convinced to stay back. One of the hostel wardens said Thursday being a working day, the students were expected to leave the campus by evening. PU officials said the rationale behind the elections being organised on Friday was that the students go to their hometowns after voting in a bid to ensure peace on the campus. This was the only reason Monday was declared as a holiday in lieu of which September 1 was already observed as the working day, officials said. With a total of 13,723 votes registered at PU, around 6,000 are hostel residents who play a major role in deciding the fate of candidates contesting the elections. |

Department to revise award policy
Chandigarh, September 5 For last many years, the education department has been following pre-laid approach to select teachers for the award. Every year teachers are asked to apply for the award based on a certain rules framed for the purpose. Thereafter, the concerned high-level committee recommends few names for the award after screening the applications received. This system, however, has attracted strong views from different quarters. Many observed that the current policy has not always brought attention on the deserving candidates for the award. Rather some ‘smart’ teachers manage to hog the limelight. A teacher at today’s award function said the department should make a search committee every year, which should see the work of various teachers on ground and then recommend their names to the concerned high-level committee. “There are many deserving teachers who don’t apply for the awards. It is therefore the responsibility of the department to identify the committed teachers rather than following the passive approach,” said a teacher. VK Singh, during the function, said the department is in favour of evolving the state award policy and to felicitate those who really deserve the awards. “We would definitely work on this direction in near future and would bring out a strong and better policy for next year’s award ceremony,” he said. |
