A 17-digit unique ID would be provided to owners of properties. The MC Commissioner has attached town planner Harpreet Ghai, executive engineer MPS Kalra and other officials to the Punjab Remote Sensing Centre. MC Commissioner Rakesh Kumar Verma said that for one reason or the other, the project was getting delayed. "But now I have deputed some officials who will oversee this project on daily basis.

Once we get the mapping done, we will also be able to keep a check on encroachments and illegal constructions and several others." He said: "Once we get the digital mapping done, we will be able to calculate the property tax sitting in the office. We will also update the information about roads, such as the date on which it was constructed and number of times it was re-carpeted." Once the project is complete, it will not only help in better urban planning, but also in effective implementation of developmental schemes, he added. Property information a click away

Incidents of sweet makers using spurious khoya and colours for preparing sweets have become common. So I have switched over to dry fruits while for pooja, mithai is prepared at our home," said Tarun Jain, working at an insurance company. With dry fruits available in different flavours and essences people are quickly taking to it. "Almonds are available in different flavours like rose, kesar, elaichi and are a hot favourite among the masses. People are retreating from mithai these days," said Gaya Parsad, a salesman at a departmental store. Chocolates are ruling the roost. It is popular among the youth and the old.They are in great demand this festive season. "I think chocolates are a better option than mithai. Atleast chocolates are safe and I know I am giving something safe to my near and dear ones.

Fruit sellers all smiles
Ludhiana, October 17 "It is the best time of the year for us. Sale of the fruits has goes up manifold. Devotees buy fruits not only to consume but also make offering at the temple," said Mian Razaq, a fruit seller of Aggar Nagar. Ashima, who is observing fast on all the days of Navratras said, "I avoid eating fried food during fast and instead binge on fruits as they are a good source of fiber and also do not let me gain weight". Fast but don’t starve
Eat fruits and vegetables: While fasting, you should binge on fresh fruits like banana and apple as they keep you full for a longer time and control cravings. You can have these fruits with milk or plain yogurt. Raw vegetables like cucumber and tomatoes can be included in the list. To stay healthy during Navratra, have fruits or fruit juice every two hours to avoid acidity. Drink lots of water and fluids like fruit juices and buttermilk. To prevent acidity eat fruits or dry fruits every two hours. Packaged food like potato chips and wafers should be avoided. Fried food like pakodas, kheer, sabudana khichdi and kheer, are not advisable as they are low in fibre. Take care of your health: Many people do not have the stamina to fast for all nine days. Headache, vomiting, indigestion, improper bowel movements, bloating, weakness and acidity are common health problems people face while fasting. People who suffer from diabetes, hyper acidity or gastroenteritis should avoid fasting. Don't starve: While fasting, many people skip meals completely and rely on water. Don't starve as your body needs vitamin and nutrient supplements. Prolonged fasting can lead to weakness, acidity, fatigue etc. So, see that you are not depriving your body of energy that is required.

Sweetmeat workshop still running from residential area
Ludhiana, October 17 After receiving complaints from the residents, Amar Sweets in Haibowal has been sealed thrice till date, in May and November last year and on June 25 again this year. In November, the main door of this workshop was sealed by the MC team. But the owners started using another entry point to run their workshop. So on November 9, the MC team led by the then Assistant Town Planner Kamaljit Kaur sealed the entire workshop. But the area residents rue that the main issue has not been solved as the owner of Amar Sweets is running a workshop from a residential area. SP Sharma, an office-bearer of the Adarsh Lane Welfare Society, alleged that the workshop was sealed by MC officials thrice. “Even an FIR was registered against the owner of Amar Sweets on September 6 because he had broken the seals put by the MC. But this has not solved any purpose because the officials from the Division Number 4 Police Station claim that the FIR was registered because the owner of Amar Sweets broke the MC seals and not because he was running a workshop from the residential area. The MC has miserably failed to take any action against the owner as he continues to operate from the residential area,” rued Sharma. The members of the Adarsh Lane Welfare Society have planned to protest outside the camp office of MC Commissioner Rakesh Kumar Verma tomorrow. MC Commissioner Rakesh Kumar Verma assured that if the owner of Amar Sweets was still running a workshop from the residential area, the MC would initiate action against him.

Teachers, students have a field day
Mandi Ahmedgarh, October 17 Teams of the Administration officials inspecting various schools of the region, though unhappy over the situation, preferred to take lenient view of the alleged irresponsible role of teachers. Though some teachers were found absent from their duties during the surprise checking, their heads later tried to shield them on the pretext of sending them on official duty to various offices, including Block Primary Education Offices. Malerkotla SDM Rajesh Tripathi had deployed some teams, each led by an executive magistrate to check working of various government elementary and primary schools of the local town and surrounding localities. Though none of the teams found ideal atmosphere suggesting regular parent-teacher meeting at any of the schools, the teams did not take action against the erring teachers and heads. Students at some schools informed the officials that their teachers frequently missed classes on various pretexts. Manjit Singh, Naib Tehsildar, said the situation was disappointing at a majority of schools. "We issued a warning to teachers this time. Though we have not recommended action against any of the teachers, we have apprised our seniors of the exact situation," said Manjit Singh. Manjit added that he would be inspecting the school soon to confirm if directions of the higher officials are being implemented in letter and spirit.

Manufacturers not happy with 0% import duty
Ludhiana, October 17 President of the Federation of Punjab Small Industries Association (FOPSIA) Badish K Jindal said under the South Asian Free Trade Area (SAFTA), the duties were to be brought at 20 per cent and by 2012, duties were to be brought to 0 per cent by imposing an annual cut. "If we get duty free products from Pakistan through Wagah Border, other countries such as China, too, can en route their products through Wagah Border to India to give local manufacturers a tough competition. These products can be auto parts, electronic products, garments and cycle parts. The trader will not bear the brunt, but it will be the manufacturers who will be in losses as cheaper products will be easily available in India," said Jindal. A local manufacturer, Suresh Kumar, said the industry would get a setback if products started flooding from Pakistan, Bangladesh and China.

Since the festivities have begun with the onset of Navratras, the evenings have come to life with fairs being organised in different parts of the city.
Chocolates and dry fruits have taken over the traditional mithai (sweetmeat) today. It is only for the pooja that people buy mithai while for the custom of exchanging sweets and consumption at home: it is either chocolates or dry fruits.
With the onset of Navratras, the sale of fruits has gone up. The people can be seen making a beeline to the fruits shops.
As World Food Day is celebrated, Ludhiana is emerging as a food hotspot on the food map of the region, not only for its own array and legacy of finger-licking city food, but also for bringing into its fold a number of multi-cuisine and world-class restaurants.
