SSP leads as cops stage flag march in city
Bathinda, October 15 Aiming to instil a sense of security among public and fear among criminals, the SSP termed the march as 'roar of lion' to show police presence in the city. Nearly 800-strong police force, many of them gasping for breath, followed the SSP who covered the prominent areas in the city in almost two hours. The march kicked off at around 5 pm from the Police Lines and passed through the New Bus Stand, Fauji Chowk, Hanuman Chowk, Mall Road, Railway Station, Dhobi Bazar and Mehna Chowk to culminate at the SSP's office in the District Administrative Complex. The SSP called SHOs, DSPs, ASP and SPs for a meeting at his office wherein he instructed them to pull up their socks to ensure safety of area residents. While talking to TNS later, the SSP said, "The message is loud and clear. This roar is to stir up the police personnel so that they drive away all the criminals from Bathinda." Offering a helping hand, the SSP said cops have been told to extend a helping hand to the public and seek cooperation from them in weeding out criminals. "It is a kind of give and take theory; you scratch my back and I will scratch yours. People must cooperate with the police so as to make the area a no-crime place," Brar added. He pointed out that he has 'meticulously' planned to bring down the rising cases of snatching, theft and vehicle lifting. "We have a 15-day plan and after that, we will change our strategy in this regard," the SSP said. When told that every SSP makes a claim of reducing crime while assuming the charge of the district but there is still no end to criminal activities, he replied: "Only time will tell." It is pertinent to mention here that the previous night, Brar took a round of the city in plain clothes and took stock of the police nakas laid at various points in the city.

Six food samples found to be adulterated
Bathinda, October 15 The sweet samples were reported to be adulterated while milk samples were found to be containing water. "The milk samples did not contain any kind of synthetic chemical," the officials said. The sample of 'daal' was adulterated with colour so as to make it look more colourful and healthy. The samples of banana were taken from a chain of stores situated on the Bibiwala Road. "The Act dissuades using artificial methods to ripen fruits such as bananas and mangoes. The samples of banana were found ripened using calcium carbide or acetylene," said food inspector Amrit Pal Singh. The health officials said reports of 18 samples were awaited. They said challans would be produced in the court against the shopkeepers concerned. District Health Officer Dr RS Randhawa said keeping in view the festive season, health officials would intensify collection of food samples and conducting surprise checking at shops. Meanwhile, in a routine checking conducted in the Harbans Nagar area near Multania road, eatables and drinks were inspected. Checking was also conducted at the shops located opposite the Civil Hospital. At one of the shops, cold drinks were found to have passed their expiry date. These cold drinks were destroyed on the spot. From tomorrow onwards, the department would start collecting more samples. Fact file

Mercury dips, worries grow for paddy farmers
Bathinda, October 15 The farmers said that the process of procurement in the mandis is already slow due to high moisture content in the produce brought by them. With low temperature and high moisture the procurement would further get delayed, the farmers said. The farmers said the harvesting of Basmati would become late and it would also affect the process of lifting the paddy crop from the grain markets. “Naturally, the crops will not tolerate rains and may perish if showers continue. There is also no adequate measures taken by the government at the grain markets to save the crop lying there,” said a progressive farmer from Goniana near here, Jagtar Singh. The officials of the procuring agencies and the District Mandi Board said so far, 40 per cent lifting of paddy has been done in the market. They said the lifting of paddy was slow due to the high moisture content in the produce. The officials of the Mandi Board said they have advised the arthiyas to arrange waterproof sheets to cover the paddy lying with them so as to avoid moisturising the produce. The officials said they would not allow the crop to perish at any cost and all steps would be taken in this connection.

Role of anaesthetists crucial post-surgery
Megha Mann Tribune News Service
Bathinda, October 15 Dr Sanjoy Majhi, head of the department of cardiac anaesthesia, Max Super Specialty Hospital, Saket (Delhi), said pain in back due to epidural injections is just a psycho-social factor. "For past many decades, we are being told that epidurals give life-long pain and after taking epidurals, whenever we feel pain we relate it to the injections we took in the past," added Dr Majhi. Dr Gaganpal Singh, consultant, department of cardiac anaesthetists, Max Super Specialty Hospital, Bathinda, said the only way out to reduce discomfort was to exercise regularly and strengthen the lower back. He said the anaesthesiology had expanded beyond operation theatre and plays a crucial role in pain management as well as palliative care. He said it was the right of every patient to ask questions about the kind and effect of anaesthetists to be administered to him or her during the surgery. "Observing the World Anaesthetists Day, we want to create awareness among the general masses that they should not perceive anaesthetists as mere assistants of surgeons. Post-surgery, it is the anaesthetist that mitigates and manages pain in patients," he said. Dr JC Garg, an experienced anaesthetist in the city, said the branch had developed only in the past 10 years. But still, in city like Bathinda, patient's awareness regarding anaesthetists was negligible or poor. "In the city's periphery, nursing homes and small time hospitals are administering anaesthetists themselves without assigning the task to a trained anaesthetist. It is here that the patient's awareness plays a major role. The patient has every right to ask about who would be his or her anaesthetist and how would the drugs be administered to him," he said. Doctors added that the branch of science underwent revolution with the introduction of technology and newer drugs and now, there was a dearth of anaesthetists. For every six or seven multi-specialty doctors, there is just one anaesthetist. "Though medical colleges are offering post-graduate courses in anaesthesiology, the number of post-graduates being churned out every year is not enough to meet with the growing demand," said Dr Majhi.

Jhumba school tops in science drama contest
Bathinda, October 15 However, the Bhunder team expressed its unhappiness over the result saying they deserved to win the number one position. The Jhumba school presented the play, "Naroye Samaj Di Sirjana," on health and hygiene. The Bhunder team presented a play on science and society and the DAV School Raman presented the play "Power cut", woven around the energy crisis prevalent in state. All the plays were written by the science teachers of the respective schools and were original in their ideas. The artists were students of various classes. The winning team's play echoed concerns about the reproductive health of the girls. It described how girls below the age of 18 years deliver babies and die young during the delivery itself. The theme was represented by taking the village as a component and students enacting the role of various characters. The play depicted that out of every one lakh women, 460 died in India at the time of child birth, while this rate was a mere five for every one lakh in developed countries like the US. The 27 minute long play "Naroye Samaj Di Sirjana" also talked about the importance of keeping the surroundings clean, ensuring the vaccination of children and other health issues. Three plays written by the science teacher of Jhumba, Kulwinder Kaur, made it to the state level. These include "Naroye Samaj Di Sirjana", "Bahumuliyan Daatan Kudrat Diyan" (based on the usage of natural resources) and "Sarapi Hui Soch" (on women's health).
