Additional VAT of 0.5 per cent Manav Mander Tribune News Service
Ludhiana, September 6 "Instead of tiding over the problem, the government is aggravating the woes of the common man. The rising prices are burning a hole in our pocket," said Ramesh Verma, a bank employee. Shrishti Aggarwal, a homemaker, said, "It is becoming difficult for us to make both ends meet. The prices of pulses and flour have also shot up. Levying tax on property and other luxuries is understandable, but the rise in the prices of essential commodities is beyond my comprehension."

8 per cent VAT on optical industry Tribune News Service
Ludhiana, September 6 The meeting was chaired by president of the association Dr Subhash Bansal. Members of the optical industry, including shopkeepers and retail traders, turned up in large numbers from Ludhiana, Amritsar, Jalandhar, Phagwarah, Kapurthala, Bathinda, Sangrur, Moga, Hoshiarpur, Ferozepur and other parts of the state. During the meeting, members of the association submitted a memorandum to the vice-chairman of the Punjab Small Traders Board, DP Chandan, urging the Punjab government to rollback the immense burden that had been put on the industry by introducing 8 per cent VAT. "When VAT was introduced to replace the sales tax, the Punjab government had assured the industry and members that the amount of VAT introduced would be unanimous among all northern states. But the Punjab government has introduced an extra 3 per cent VAT on the industry in Punjab, even though the neighbouring states of Himachal Pradesh, Haryana, Jammu and Kashmir, Chandigarh and Delhi have only 5 per cent VAT, " said Dr Subhash Bansal, president of the association. DP Chandan assured the members of the association that he would take up the issue with Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal and make him aware of the problems being faced by the industry. Bansal added that due to the Punjab government’s decision to implement 8 per cent VAT, not only the industry but the public in general was also suffering due to higher costs. He said the Punjab government should understand that optical business line was like a medical line, where a person with weak eyesight had a necessity of wearing spectacles just like a sick person needed to take the medicine. Association’s chairman Surinder Pal Singh stated that due to higher VAT levied by the Punjab government on the industry, it was becoming difficult for them to survive.

The policemen revealed that when they were about to board a bus for Ludhiana at the Moga bus stand, Seera suggested them that one of his relatives owns an SUV and they could hire it easily to reach Ludhiana. The policemen agreed to it. On their call, two youths and a girl, who claimed themselves to be relatives of Seera, came with the SUV, picked up the undertrial and the policemen and headed for Ludhiana. After reaching Ludhiana, the policemen presented the undertrial in a court and left for Barnala for another hearing. On their way, they stopped for lunch at Haveli restaurant near Mullanpur. Before having lunch, Jagseer urged the policemen to remove his handcuffs and they agreed to it. After having lunch, Jagseer ran towards the SUV, boarded it and disappeared. The policemen did not disclose the incident to anyone and kept on searching the undertrial at his native village. Prem Singh, SHO, Mullanpur, said: “The policemen also concocted a story that Jagseer fled from a Ludhiana court. But when they failed to prove it, they revealed the true story at the Mullanpur police station. The head constables have been arrested.”

eating out
Ludhiana, September 6 Relishing daal, bhaji, mixed vegetable and paneer may cost one dear. The district health department has come across a number of such eateries. During a raid conducted recently, officials of the department had found that synthetic permitted food colours were added to the eatables. Food safety officer Ravinder Garg said,"We love to relish bhaji and daal at these eateries, but these may affect our health. The colours that are usually added to these foods are brilliant blue, sunset yellow, erithrocin and green. Recently, a sample of sauce collected from a chicken shop had failed the test. District health officer Dr Kulwinder Singh said,"These colours are supposed to be used in micrograms. But owners of eateries use it in more quanity which may result in cancer. Therefore, we keep telling the owners to avoid using these." Contrary to natural colours, kesar and turmeric powder do not pose any health hazard. But eatery owners avoid using these. The DHO said,"Synthetic permitted colours should be used in snacks, ice-creams and that too in small quantities. These can lead to serious health problems, therefore one should avoid eating at these eateries."

Teachers without salary for 6 months
Puneet Pal Singh Gill Tribune News Service
Ludhiana, September 6 The teachers alleged that they were yet to get their salary. There are 48 government-aided schools in Ludhiana district which means that 95 per cent of the grant is provided by the state government and 5 per cent is contributed by the management committee of that particular school. Davinder Kumar, a teacher at Nauhria Mal Jain Model Senior Secondary School, here alleged that they had not been receiving salary on time for the past three financial years. "In 2010-11, our salary was late by eight months, in 2011-12, it was late by seven months and in this financial year, there is a delay of six months. We usually get salary on a quarterly basis, which is a sad state of affairs. If permanent teachers can get salary every month, why does the government delay our salary" he lamented. It is not only the teachers, but the Class IV employees are also suffering due to the indifferent attitude of the state government. "Even in 2011-12, we had to approach the court for getting our salary. It was after the court intervened that the matter was resolved," said Kumar. Paramjit Kaur Chahal, District Education Officer (secondary), said there had been a delay in the disbursement of salary. "We had sent the estimate to the state government, but there was some objection, due to which the salary got delayed. Now, we have again sent the estimate and we are hopeful that the state government will disburse their salary soon," claimed Chahal.

Comply with norms, govt tells steel makers
Ludhiana, September 6 So, consumers can soon expect standardised steel products meant for construction and infrastructure sectors, as BIS norms will be applicable for almost all steel products while steel producers are feeling the pinch of recession as the demand for steel is decreasing and they are having heavy inventories. Many producers of induction furnace industry do not follow the quality standards and need to upgrade their facilities. The move is aimed at ensuring that quality of steel products like bars, rods and wires, is as per the standard specifications. Till now, it was not there. Industrial users are trying their best to convince the government to revoke the order. “The order seems to have come into being with the connivance of main steel producers. Secondary producers like induction furnaces producing steel can’t afford to have registration with the BIS," said PD Sharma, president of the Apex Chamber of Commerce and Industry. “Our main steel producers have always been keeping the steel prices as high as possible to earn undeserved profit to the great disadvantage of the user industry. Steel producers have always on a lookout to discourage steel import into the country. Now, they have a technical tool in the shape of BIS to discourage imports and to handicap the secondary steel producers,” added Ramesh Singla, another industrialist. Steel under quality control
The ministry has brought steel under 'quality control'. The move will come into effect from September 12. All steel producers will have to get registered with the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS).
