He was on ventilator and had other complications also in addition to swine flu.

It is hoped that we will get the details in the morning." It is the second death from swine flu this year. The first death was reported on April 21. The patient was from Nangal and he was provided treatment at the DMCH. Dr Bhatia said there was no need to panic, though taking adequate precautions was imperative. "We have already issued directions to the Civil Surgeons all over the state. The treatment for swine flu is available at the district hospitals." He said the infection spread through the air route and it was important to maintain personal hygiene. "Frequent washing of hands is one of the precautionary measures," he added. In case of symptoms like high-grade fever, cough, cold, sneezing, headache, diarrhoea, vomiting and breathlessness, immediate medical intervention must be sought, said Dr Bhatia.

Daljit Bittu’s police remand extended
Ludhiana, September 27 Additional Public Prosecutor Monika Gupta submitted before the court that several calls were made from Pakistan on the cell phone of the accused. This fact came to light while interrogating him during the previous police remand. The police was trying to ascertain whether those calls had any connection with his "counterparts" Jagtar Singh, Wadhawa Singh and other extremists, residing in Pakistan at present. The police was also probing whether they were making any plans to disturb peace in the state by conniving with each other, the public prosecutor added. The defence lawyer refuted the police theory. He said most of the calls alleged to have been made from ISD code +92 were missed calls and only two or three of these were “received”, that too for a short duration. |

Vanity Numbers for Vehicles
Ludhiana, September 27 During the past six months, the department has generated over Rs 1.82 crore through four such auctions of vanity numbers. District Transport Officer MS Chatwal said Ludhiana district always led in the state in the matter of generating income through the auction of vanity numbers. "Residents are crazy to get vanity numbers and are willing to spend lavishly to get the numbers of their choice," said Chatwal. Pushpinder Singh (name changed), a local resident, who bagged the 0005 number for his Audi a few months ago in an auction, said he had to shell out Rs 2 lakh for it. "I was always eager to get an Audi and when I purchased it, I decided to get an attractive and lucky number for my vehicle. Number five has been
lucky for me, so I got it by paying Rs 2 lakh," said Pushpinder Singh. Due to the craze for vanity numbers, many residents, who have now purchased new vehicles, do not want to part with their old numbers. "People sell old vehicles, but not the vanity numbers, which is against the rules. If one has purchased a new vehicle, a new number has to be allotted to the owner. However, if he or she wants to retain the old number, permission has to be sought from the Transport Department, but residents hardly follow the rules. In such cases, we will act tough against the defaulters", said Beant Juneja, traffic in charge.

GLADA auction draws poor response
Ludhiana, September 27 The SCOs, shops and booths, which were sold at a marginal premium, carried a reserve price of Rs 6.04 crore.

IPS officer's transfer orders revoked
Ludhiana, September 27 It is learnt that public pressure did the trick for Sharma. The ACP enjoys considerable support in the city. His drive against encroachments on the roadside by vendors was highly appreciated. He had been instrumental in tackling the growing crime rate by busting several gangs of criminals. The tow-away drive was introduced during his tenure as the ACP (Traffic) and it had received an overwhelming response. Sources said industrialists pitched for Sharma and pressed the Chief Minister to revoke his transfer orders. ACP (East) Naveen Singla, too, was in the spotlight as he was transferred four times during the past one year. Hectic activity was witnessed last evening after the news of the transfer of the two officers spread in the industrial city. Representatives of the Knitwear Club and several members of industrial associations met Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal, requesting him to revoke Sharma's transfer orders. Some police officers were of the view that the decision to transfer Singla was harsh as he had already been transferred four times during the past one year. By this morning, both officers had completed their pending assignments and were all set to leave the city. However, in the evening Sharma's transfer was revoked. Last night, a delegation of the Knitwear club met the Chief Minister, who was in the city to attend a religious programme. “The CM promised us to revoke Sharma's transfer orders. We thank the CM for keeping his promise,” said Vinod Thapar, president of the Knitwear Club.
Public pressure

Sand shortage hits construction work
Ludhiana, September 27 Those who have already started construction work on houses or business establishments are the worst sufferers. Many of them have reportedly stopped the construction work due to the sand shortage. Those continuing with
the construction work have been forced to shell out hefty amounts for sand. Sand and gravel dealers maintain that the shortage of sand is likely to continue till October 9. “The next date of hearing in the case has been fixed for October 9, when the court is likely to issue some orders. There has been a shortage of sand in the district due to the ban on sand mining. We are getting a limited stock of sand, that too by paying a huge amount of money,” said RK Chabra, a local dealer. The prices of sand have skyrocketed during the past two months. Sand, which was available for Rs 12 per foot about a month ago, is now being sold for over Rs 20 per foot. “I had ordered for a small trolley of sand three days ago. I got it today. I had to pay Rs 1,000 for it. I still feel lucky as I will now be able to continue with the construction work of a hall, which had been stopped due to the unavailability of sand,” said Avninder Singh, a businessman. Earlier, the auction for mining of sand in three quarries in Ludhiana district was to be conducted online on September 25 and people were expecting that they would get respite. However, due to the postponement of the auction, not only have the prices increased further, but people have been facing a shortage of sand. Sources said following the strict measures adopted by the police, a majority of the landlords had stopped procuring sand from their fields. However, trucks and trolleys of sand were being brought in from other states in an illegal manner.

No end to traffic woes of Jagraon residents
Jagraon, September 27 The frequent traffic jams have become the order of day on most of city roads and one can often seen long queues of vehicles struck in traffic jam. The most drastic situation is at Lajpat Rai Road where there are many important government offices including Telephone Exchange, Post Office and major banks like State Bank of India, Punjab, and Sindh Bank, Central Bank of India are located very close to each other. People visiting these offices and banks often park their vehicles on roadsides, which obstruct the smooth flow of traffic. Visitors term the lack of proper parking space in the town as the main reason behind frequent traffic jams. Besides, the illegal encroachments by most of the shopkeepers in front of their shops have further worsen the situation. Same is the situation on the Tehsil Road, where long lanes of vehicles can been always seen struck in traffic jams. Though the local police has installed no parking signboards on various points of this road yet the people often park their vehicles there. One such signboard has been installed in front of the office of the SSP, Jagraon, but the people including the police officials still park their vehicles here. Another area of the town, which often witnesses frequent traffic jams is Old Grain Market Chowk which is the junction of three busiest roads of the town including College Road, Railway Road and Lajpat Road and when the vehicular traffic of all these roads in addition to the traffic coming from Old Grain Market side meets here, the situation becomes too chaotic that even the pedestrians find it difficult to make their way through the vehicles struck in traffic jam. In fact, this is one of the oldest and most congested areas of the town. The illegal encroachments by the shopkeepers in front of their shops have crammed it further which is the main reason behind frequent traffic jams. The lack of parking space results in haphazard parking of vehicles by the visitors on the roadsides, which worsens the situation further. The local residents blame the illegal encroachments by the shopkeepers and the visitors coming from nearby villages for the problem. “The shopkeepers have encroached upon the roadsides which has narrowed the already congested area. Besides, the visitors coming to the town often park their vehicles on road sides in an uneven manner which obstruct the smooth flow of traffic,” says Kapil Gupta, a local resident. The visitors on the other side blame the lack of parking space for the problem. “There is no proper parking space in whole of the town therefore we have no option but to park our vehicles on the roadside. The local municipal council shall provide a proper parking space to the visitors to avoid such situation,” suggested Sukhjinder Singh Chinna from a nearby village who frequently visits the town. The local police blames lack of cooperation on part of public for the traffic problem. “We have tried upon an array of ideas to sort out this problem. We even carried out a specific drive some time back under which we sought public cooperation and help from the municipal council for removing roadside encroachments. But neither the local municipal council nor the public is ready to cooperate with us,” says DSP Surinder Kumar. Jagraon Municipal Council president, Baldev Krishan Dhir, admits that the lack of parking space and illegal encroachments by the shopkeepers has been the main reason behind frequent traffic jams, which is causing huge inconvenience to the public. “We keep launching anti-encroachment drives to remove illegal encroachments time to time. But people do not cooperate with us and again encroach upon roads,” stated Dhir.

Traders oppose FDI in retail
Ludhiana, September 27 “We are against the government’s policy of permitting the foreign direct investment in retail, and the entry of big Indian businesses in retail. Traders, big and small, will be affected. Small traders will be affected as big corporations and the MNCs will make the smaller ones go out of business,” said a hosiery dealer. “The entry of Walmart and other big retail chains would devour small shopkeepers and hawkers. Big supermarkets want monopolies while small retailers cannot compete them. They will simply get squeezed out and that is what happened in Britain,” added Rajinder Singh, a departmental store owner at Model Town. The government should learn lessons from other countries which have been affected by the corporate retail. In Thailand, multi-national retail chains that entered in 1997 captured over 10 per cent of the market share, impacting 60,000 small retailers. The Thai government had to step in and create a fund to give assistance to them and has since imposed zoning restrictions on mega retail stores. While in China, the foreign direct investment in retail is highly regulated; many stores are allowed to stock only China-manufactured goods, said member of Retail Karyana Merchant Association.
