‘Need for earmarking protest zone’
Ludhiana, September 16 Last Sunday it was the Karabara chowk on the main GT Road that was blocked by teachers for more than three hours and today it was the point near Vardhman Spinning Mills on the Ludhiana-Chandigarh road, which was blocked for around three and a half hours. The teacher unions on both these days were different, but the inconvenience to the residents was the same. Ironically, the residents had no other option but to find alternative routes to reach their destinations. Today, hundreds of members of the 7654 Sanjha Front Teachers Union, Punjab, had blocked the Ludhiana-Chandigarh road from around 1:30 pm till 5 pm. Due to this blockade, the Ludhiana police had made elaborative plans and the traffic was diverted to alternative routes so that the commuters don’t face inconvenience. But, this certainly led to a waste of precious time. Krishan Kumar, a resident of Kartar Nagar, said whenever he travelled to meet his relatives in Kharar, he preferred the Ludhiana-Chandigarh road. “But today, due to the protest by teachers, the traffic was diverted to the adjoining streets, which led to traffic chaos there. Now, I have to travel extra distance to Sahnewal and from there I will take a road towards Samrala to reach Kharar,” he added. Due to regular road blocks in the city, the need of earmarking a specific place for holding protests is being felt once again. “If this pattern can be followed in our state capital, then why not in Ludhiana? The residents should take up the issue with the elected representatives of their respective areas. I feel that if the state government really wants, then it can easily earmark a specific piece of land for protests. This will not only help in saving time, but even the police, which is deployed on the spot, will be able to devote much time in tackling crime than tackling teachers,” said Arvinder Singh, a shopkeeper of Samrala Chowk.

gastro outbreak
Ludhiana, September 16 "We have written to the departments concerned. As far as the Health Department is concerned there was no delay in providing treatment to the patients and adopting other curative measures," added Mittal. The Health Minister was in the city to attend the 2nd annual conference of the Punjab State Chapter of Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons of the India. Around 200 delegates came from various parts of the North India registered for this event. Around 50 oral presentations and 20 electronic posters were presented by registered delegates during the
scientific deliberations of the congress. During this conference, the Health Minister emphasised the adoption of new technologies for researches and bringing about reforms in the medical field. Talking about technical advancement, Dr Sameer Kaura, organising secretary, said, "At this conference effort has been made to save paper to some extent by going for
electronic poster presentation instead of paper poster presentation". Unattended, minister cools heels at cafe The conference was scheduled to start at 9.30 am and the doctors started the function on time. But, the Health Minister, who was supposed to inaugurate the function, reached late by one hour. When the minister reached the conference hall, the presentation session was going on and all lights were off. The minister left the conference hall and went to a café in the same hotel. When the doctors came to know that the minister had left the hall, they got panicky. They started efforts to pacify the minister. Finally, they were able to pacify the minister and the welcome ceremony was organised with zeal. However, one of the organisers justified the minister's leaving the hall, saying that the minister did not want to disturb the ongoing presentation, so he left the hall. |

Inter-state gang of looters busted
Khanna, September 16 Talking to media persons at the office of the Khanna district police today, the DIG of the Ludhiana range, MF Farooqui, said the district police, on a tip-off that four women members of a gang were roaming in a car along with a driver and they often robbed innocent women after offering them lift and also sold narcotics. A police team chased a swift car near Doraha while other teams blocked their way near Issru on the directions of SSP, Khanna, Ravcharan Singh Brar. After being besieged by the police, the looters tried to escape and in a hurry hit DSP Payal’s vehicle. A police party, led by Inspector Waryam Singh, finally nabbed them. The DIG said all the members of the gang were relatives and belonged to the Sansi tribe. At least 20-member gang, comprising mostly women, has been involved in incidents of snatching in almost all the areas of Punjab, in some cases even outside Punjab. They have perpetrated crime in several areas, including Bathinda, Mansa, Sangrur, Patiala, Fatehgarh Sahib, Ludhiana, Jagraon, Moga, Faridkot, Muktsar, Nawanshahr, Hoshiarpur, Jalandhar, Amritsar and Delhi. The main member of the gang is a proclaimed offender in two cases of loot in the Khanna area. The members of this gang would strike in remote villages and offer lift to women. Once a woman boards their car, they would rob her of gold ornaments and then push the victim out of the car with the help of their men accomplices at a deserted place. They had even forcibly pulled their victims into their car and robbed them in some cases. Farooqui said this gang had seven splinter groups, which had been operating for about 4 years. The SSP, Khanna Police, Ravcharan Singh Brar said the police had recovered gold ornaments worth about Rs 11 lakh and about 1.6 lakh in cash from their possession. He said police parties had been dispatched to nab the other members of the gang. 4 cops honoured for bravery
The DIG, Ludhiana, MF Farooqui, honoured four personnel of the Khanna police for showing exemplary bravery during an operation to nab the members of the inter-state gang of looters. The four policemen are Assistant Sub-Inspector Harjit Singh, Havildar Shamsher Singh, Constables Sukhvir Singh and Rajwinder Singh. He added that one on the constables overpowered the car driver in a paddy field where he was hiding. The other constable jumped from his running motor cycle while he was chasing the members of the gang. The ASI, who was on control room duty, was in touch with all the officials concerned during the
operation. |

Tough duty takes toll on policemen’s health
Ludhiana, September 16 Nearly 700 persons, including police personnel and their families, attended the medical camp organised by an NGO here today. The camp was conducted under the observation of doctors of Dayanand Medical College and Hospital (DMC&H), including Dr GS Wander, Dr Sandeep Puri, Dr JS Sakhon and GS Brar. "Diabetes and hypertension are some of the common problems among policemen. Some were found to be suffering from skin disease as well. Interestingly, not many cops were having potbellies," said Dr GS Brar. A cardiologist, Dr GS Wander, said, "I feel for them. All these are lifestyle diseases.
These problems occur due to a lack of sleep, long duty hours and erratic routine." Commissioner of Police Ishwar Singh said steps would be taken to ease the stress level of policemen. "We are conducting yoga and physical fitness camps for policemen," said the Commissioner of Police. He encouraged the police personnel to get them and their families medically insured. Langar turned out to be crowd-puller
Initially, a handful of policemen, along with the members of their families, turned up at the camp. As soon as the word spread that a langar was being organised at the camp, women, along with their children, started thronging the place. A woman said she got her medical check-up done and she didn't have to go through the routine chore of cooking food. Cops seek leisure time
The doctors faced a situation when lower-rung policemen requested them to suggest bed rest on their medical check-up report so that they could go on holidays. |
Wedding planners making hay in Ludhiana
Ludhiana, September 16 Organisers of such exhibitions are cashing in on the riches of the city and the love for glamour and celebration here. "Wedding is a multi-crore industry and Ludhiana is certainly a huge market, for its love for flamboyance and celebration," said an organiser of wedding exhibitions. "People of Ludhiana have money and are becoming more aware. They seek high-quality fashion and upmarket lifestyle. This is the reason why we have brought high-end products of home décor and interior design along with the bridal wear this year," said Ratika Seth, another
organiser. Organising exhibitions by attracting customers has become a business here. "Wedding season, coupled with the festive season is the perfect time to beckon people," she said. But owing to the increasing frequency of these exhibitions, the novelty factor about the exhibitions is wearing off and residents are getting used to the exhibitions in the city. "Earlier we used to run to any fashion and lifestyle exhibition happening, but now these have become a everyday affair. We know, even if we don't go to one, there is another one around the corner," said Komal, a resident. As the exhibitions have become very common, organisers are now trying to create a brand of the exhibitions and trying to target a certain segment. "You have to do the groundwork and research to create a brand," said Maninder Singh Sethi, an organiser. "Exhibitions are a form of interactive marketing, so attracting a certain segment to your exhibition according to the kind of products needs research," he added.

diesel hike
Ludhiana, September 16 Announcing the decision after a meeting of the state committee of BKU here today, president of the body Ajmer Singh Lakhowal said thousands of farmers from all across the state would proceed to Delhi on September 24 by trains, buses, cars, tempos, trucks and tractor-trailers. After a halt at Gurdwara Bangla Sahib, a massive protest will be held in the national capital on
September 25. He said the Centre had increased the prices of diesel which would further add to cost of farm inputs. "But at the same time, the government was not prepared to grant a proportional hike in minimum support price (MSP) of wheat and other crops. "Similarly, the refusal of package of relief for drought-hit farmers of Punjab is arbitrary, unjust and discriminatory,”
he added. Lashing out at the Gujarat state government for its campaign to uproot the farmers, who were settled there for decades, he said the move was unconstitutional and against the law of the land. Lakhowal said the agitation launched by the Punjab farmers under the banner of BKU would continue till the government relented and all their demands, including roll back of hike in diesel prices, remunerative MSP of wheat and other food crops as per the recommendations of Dr Swaminathan Committee and package of relief for crop losses due to deficit rain, were accepted. Among others present included Puran Singh Shahkot, Sharanjit Singh Mehlon, Harmit Singh Kadian, Shamsher Singh Gharuan, Gurjant Singh Abohar, Avtar Singh Mehlon, Megh Raj Buttar, Baldev Singh Gumtala, Ram Karan Singh and Harbinder Singh
Bhamian.

Drowning incidents on rise
Mandi Ahmedgarh, September 16 In a communique addressed to higher authorities, including the Chief Minister and the Minister of Social Welfare, Women and Child Development, the office-bearers of different organisations, led by councillors Bimal Sharma, Dilshad,Kedar Kapila and Jiwan Singh, alleged that the administration had failed to safeguard the banks of the water bodies in the region, which had resulted in the deaths of a number of
children. They have urged the higher authorities to safeguard the banks of the ponds. A few years ago SDM Malerkotla had directed officials of the Block Development Office to impress upon the officials of the civic bodies to construct a boundary wall around the cattle ponds but still majority of the ponds and water bodies remain unsafe. The councillors regretted that the threat of an animal or a child getting drowned in the ponds, in the absence of boundary walls, was extremely high in the area. As the ponds are generally situated close to the residential areas, the risk of falling into them is more during the night. Earlier, several children had drowned in the ponds. Dheeraj Kumar, 11, son of a migrant labourer of Kakarwal village, was found dead in the village pond recently. In another incident Dilwar Khan alias Mehtab, 4, had died after drowning in a pond at Falaund village on August 28.

City's hospitality bowls over Talpade

Although I have been to Amritsar and Chandigarh, it was my first visit to Ludhiana, and I would love to be here again," said Shreyas. "It is a home away from home," he said. "Although we keep doing some activity or the other in big cities, meeting and interacting with people in the interiors give you a better idea of what the expectations of the audience are from you," he said. "The real fans and audience are outside metro cities," he added. He said cinema was becoming more realistic now.

reporters’ diary
City residents falling victim to water-borne diseases such as gastroenteritis, cholera and jaundice and vector-borne diseases such as dengue and malaria has become a regular feature in the present weather. The recurrence of these diseases speaks volumes about the poor condition of sanitation and public health as well as the total failure of authorities to take corrective steps and preventive action. Learning no lesson from their past failures, the government officials blame each other, or debate about calling the outbreak an epidemic or not. The insensitive administration makes no visible attempt to improve the level of sanitation and quality of drinking water, or provide basic amenities and break the breeding cycle of mosquitoes. Keeping away from "commoners"
At an exhibition meant for the affluent of the city, a couple of exhibitors were discussing about the distance of the venue from the city. One of them was wondering aloud if the exhibition would attract enough footfalls, being organised on the outskirts of the city. The other one retorted, "It is good that only high-end buyers would come all the way for these expensive products. At least commoners won't come pestering us with "yeh dikhao, woh dikhao". A resident who overheard the conversation said the city was becoming a picture of contrast, where the haves are starkly juxtaposed with the have-nots, and the gap between them continues to widen. Traffic woes
With each passing day, the traffic on certain roads, both in the old city and the newly developed areas, is getting worse with commuters and vehicles stuck in traffic jams. The traffic police officials also seem to be at their wit's end while managing the traffic on most of the roads as the vehicle population continues to multiply. Of late, there has been some improvement in the enforcement of traffic rules but proper management is still lacking. The traffic cops would do well by taking some tough decisions, and allowing only “one way” traffic on some of the problematic roads. This move will certainly meet some opposition from shopkeepers and residents of those areas, but at times a bitter medicine has to be given to cure certain chronic diseases. When I lost a bet
Finally, my friend won the bet he had with me eight months back before the Assembly elections. He had made a bet that Capt Amarinder Singh and Manpreet Badal would come together after the elections. He presumed that they would form a coalition government after winning the elections. But after the BJP-SAD combine formed the government, I made him realise several times that he had lost the bet, and often ridiculed him when we discussed politics. A few days back, however, he called me up in a "triumphant" tone and said, "I told you before the elections that they will be together, and here they are. I have won the bet."
