Travelling at midnight is proving fatal for commuters. The city and the surrounding areas have witnessed three accidents in the past fortnight in which seven persons, including eminent satirist Jaspal Bhatti and senior journalist Amrita Chaudhary, lost their lives. Commissioner of Police Ishwar Singh and MF Farooqui, DIG, Ludhiana, said overspeeding was one of the causes behind the three accidents.

"Besides overspeeding, it has been observed that drivers of the ill-fated vehicles fell asleep, which led to the accidents. In all three cases, we observed that the drivers were tired due to continuous travelling. Drunken driving is also a major reason behind accidents at times," said Farooqui.

"We have a long list of such casualties: Giani Zail Singh, Capt Kanwaljit Singh, Aditya Jaitely, Amrita Chaudhary and now Jaspal Bhatti - they all lost their lives in accidents caused by bad roads and poor infrastructure," said industrialist and philanthropist Ranjodh Singh.

Universal Human Rights Organisation (UHRO) has demanded strict implementation of traffic rules in the state. The UHRO stated that the police should esure that the speed limit rule was followed even on highways to check road accidents.

Meanwhile, Dr Sandeep Puri, medical superintendent, DMC Hospital, said had Bhatti worn the seat belt, he would have been alive today. According to Puri, wearing the seat belt while sitting on the rear seat is also important. He said Bhatti was sitting on the rear seat and he had a "free fall" when the car collided with a tree. Similarly, senior journalist Amrita Chaudhary, who was also sitting on the rear seat, died after sustaining severe injuries as her car collided with another car.

Earlier, the MC was getting fogging done for one hour in the morning and one hour in the evening. Now, the duration has been increased by half an hour in the morning as well as in the evening.

The step has been taken so that the civic body can keep a check on the spread of dengue in the city. MC officials have asked city residents to inform the civic body in case they want to get fogging done in any particular area.

"This is just a precautionary measure and we hope that we will be able to keep a check on the spread of dengue with this initiative. I want to tell the residents that we have ample stock of medicines. If need be, we can increase the fogging duration further," Sekhon said.

Tanvir Singh Dhaliwal, councillor from ward number 59, said he was already getting fogging done in his locality on a regular basis. "If residents of my ward want to get fogging done in any particular locality, they can call me anytime," said Dhaliwal.

Government departments seem to be facing an acute financial crunch. A cheque for Rs 1,000 issued by the office of the District Food and Supplies Controller (DFSC) to a local resident has bounced due to "shortage of funds".

The cheque was issued by the office after the consumer court of Ludhiana ordered the office of the DFSC to pay a compensation of Rs 1,000 to a resident, Kuldeep Singh Khaira, who is also an RTI activist, for "deficiency in service" as the DFSC failed to provide information to him under the RTI Act on time.

Interestingly, the DFSC office, instead of issuing a cheque from its departmental account, allowed the cheque to be issued from the personal account of one of its employees.

Khaira had sought information under the RTI Act regarding the rent deed of the DFSC office. The DFSC office is located on the third floor of the MC (Zone D) building in Sarabha Nagar here. It is learnt that the DFSC office has taken this floor of the MC building on rent. However, the DFSC office failed to provide this 
information on time and Khaira lodged a complaint regarding this with the consumer court.

On February 10, the consumer court, Ludhiana, had ordered the DFSC to pay a compensation of Rs 1,000 to the complainant on account of deficiency in service. The order was to be complied with within 30 days from the date of receipt of the order.

A cheque for Rs 1,000 (of the Gurdev Nagar branch of the State Bank of India bearing number 956246) in favour of Kuldeep Singh Khaira was issued by 
the DFSC office on March 14. Along with this 
cheque, a memo number (Najar-2012/1555) was also sent which stated that as per the orders of the consumer court, a cheque (number 956246) was being sent as compensation. This memo also bore signatures of DFSC Rajnish Kumari.

Speaking to Ludhiana Tribune, Khaira said. "I was shocked to find that the cheque was dishonoured due to shortage of funds. The cheque was sent by the DFSC as 
the letter attached with it bore her signatures," Khaira said.

Employees of Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) from the City (East) and City (West) circles today held a meeting in connection with the forthcoming one-day strike, called by the PSEB Employees Federation (AITUC), Punjab, for November 8.

Addressing the meeting, Mushtaq Maseeh, secretary, PSEB Employees Federation, said to mobilise the cadres for the strike, PSPCL employees would show black flags to the PSPCL management during their field visits and burn effigies till November 7 to lodge their protest against the "anti-employee" policies of the management.

The trade union leader said the employees were forced to resort to the agitational path because the PSPCL management had adopted an adamant attitude towards the genuine demands of the workers. "Many of the demands of the employees are not being implemented after having been accepted during meetings with representatives of the unions," he said.

Maseeh alleged that on the one hand, the PSPCL authorities had refused to pay 30 per cent arrears of the revised scales due from January 2006 to July 2009 on the pretext of resource crunch, on the other hand, the available funds were being squandered on poor-quality work done by private agencies under the policy of outsourcing.

The employees were being deprived of other financial benefits as well under the garb of a financial crisis, he added.

Even after over one year of the Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal had laid the foundation stone of 25-bed proposed community health centre here, residents are yet to see any draft plan proceeding further from paper work to practical and functional entity.

Leaving aside construction of the new wing and up-gradation of existing facilities, posts of eight doctors, which were created long time ago, are yet to be filled.

Admitting unexplained delay in commencement of work on the project, Gill legislator Darshan Singh Shivalik said he had raised the issue in recent session of the Punjab Assembly and the Chief Minister and the Health Minister had assured to start the work on the project started without further delay.

"Now I have once again taken appointment with the Chief Minister to discuss the issues and get the process expedited," said Shivalik maintaining adding office-bearers of various social and political organisation had approached him to get the needful done in the matter.

Investigations revealed that senior Badal had laid foundation stone of proposed 25-bed community center here during an elaborate function at 11.15 am on October 6, last year and the then Health and Family Welfare Minister Satpal Gosian and Punjab Subordinate Service Selection Board's chairman Santa Singh Umaidpuri were present on the occasion when the Badal dedicated the project to the people.

The proposed setup was supposed to have three operating theatres and at least six specialists among the doctors. It was declared that all facilities, including diagnostic tests, would be available round-the-clock.

So much so the officials who designed, acknowledging that the existing infrastructure of majority of government medical centres was prone to microbial growth had stated that all floors, walls and ceilings would be covered with special aseptic tiles and coatings.

Though the hospital had been included in list of upgraded institutes two years earlier, the government had been staggering the process for upgrading it and now after one year of its formal foundation laying ceremony the department is yet to start the construction.

Residents of the area led by Param Deep Singh Deepa, SAD leader and Nirmal Singh Chahal, a social activist, have once again urged the higher authorities including the Chief Minister and the Health Minister to impress upon the officials to complete the formalities for upgrading the centre to the community health centre.

Besides catering to about 50 villages falling under the Ludhiana district, the proposed health centre is expected to provide medical assistance to victims of accidents taking place on the Ludhiana-Malerkotla and the Kila Raipur-Sahnewal roads.

Even though the process of filing nomination papers for the four posts of the Ludhiana Effluent Treatment Society (LETS) is yet to commence in the next couple of days, the election-related activity among the leaders of industry has assumed feverish pitch with many prominent members of industry throwing their hats in.

More than 850 members (industrial units) of LETS will elect the chief executive officer (CEO), a secretary and two directors. The elections will be held on November 30 this year.

According to the Director of Industry and Commerce, Punjab, who is also the ex-officio chairman of the LETS, the nomination papers can be filed till October 30 and scrutiny of papers will take place on November 1. The withdrawal of nomination will be allowed till November 8 and the final list of the candidates will be displayed on November 9.

Joginder Kumar was CEO of LETS for almost six years, which was formed to run the Common Effluent Treatment Plant (CETP), set up by the Punjab Small Industries and Export Corporation Limited at Focal Point, Phase VIII. The plant was built for the treatment of hazardous waste discharged by electroplating units located in Ludhiana and others areas in Punjab.

Although Joginder Kumar has not entered the fray this time. The group, led by him, has formally announced the candidature of Avtar Singh, secretary of the Chamber of Industrial and Commercial, for the post of the CEO. The group has announced the candidature of Rajan Gupta for the post of secretary while Manmohan Singh Ubhi and Rajinder Goyal will contest for the posts of directors.

At one time, the name of prominent industrialist KK Seth was doing rounds for the post of the CEO and he had the backing of many members of the United Cycle and Parts Manufacturers Association (UCPMA), the largest representative body of bicycle and parts manufacturers. However, after sensing that the election would turn out to be a hard battle which might lead to factionalism, Seth declined to push his candidature.

However, as things stand now, the group led by Joginder Kumar, will face a stiff challenge from the other section of the industrial fraternity which intends to put up Charanjit Singh Vishwakarma, who heads a body of Medium, Small and Micro Enterprises, for the post of the CEO while other probable candidates for the three posts would include Narinder Bhamra, president of Fasteners Manufacturers Association, Badish K Jindal, president, Federation of Punjab Small Industries Association and Gurmeet Singh Kular, president of the UCPMA.

Sources said a section of the industry was still making efforts to bring the two groups to a common platform to achieve unanimity over the names of candidates and avoid the elections.

Punjab is making a major contribution in the central pool of grains even though percentage of contribution has decreased. The main reason behind this is more production of wheat and other crops in other states. This was said by Sudhir Kumar, Secretary, Food and Civil Supplies, Government of India, while interacting with mediapersons after visiting various grain markets today.

He said the wheat, lying in the mandis of Punjab, would be cleared through the export of 20 lakh ton of wheat by the central government. He denied of abolishing 10 per cent import duty on sugar, which was imported from foreign countries. Representatives of Punjab Flour Mills also met him and demanded that five per cent VAT, imposed by the Food Corporation of India, should be stopped as they had already paid five per cent VAT to the Punjab Government.

Earlier, Sudhir Kumar visited Salim Tabri grain market and ensured lifting of paddy. He said: "This year there is target of buying 130 lakh ton of paddy and by now 66 lakh ton has been procured, out of which 61 lakh ton has been procured by government agencies and five lakh ton has been lifted by traders ." He also visited grain market at Sahnewal.

It's after a gap of more than seven months that the staff of 48 government-aided schools in the district have a reason to cheer before Divali. They have received their salaries after a gap of seven months as their salaries were not paid since February this year.

Even though the staff at other government-aided schools in the state got their salaries regularly, yet it was some "error" by the District Education Office (secondary), which led to such delay.

The delay was caused due to an "objection" by the state government regarding the estimate prepared by the District Education Office (secondary). Due to the objection a fresh survey was conducted, which wasted more time. Later, when the school managements submitted their bills till September, they were asked to submit them till August because the state government had sanctioned funds only till August.

Davinder Rehan, a teacher in a government-aided school, thanked the state government for issuing the funds. "Now the salaries for September and October are left," he said. Ludhiana district is having 48 government-aided schools where 95 per cent of the grant is provided by the state government and five percent is contributed by the management committee of that particular school.

As Facebook and social media get bigger and their reach expands, reports of their misuse and adverse impact of these, including addiction, are common. True utility and relevance of these have been questioned many a time. But there is a silver lining as a number of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) are leveraging the power of social networking to make a difference to society.

A number of city-based NGOs have joined social networking websites. NGOs like Aagaz, which rely on field work and do not have a registered office, stand to benefit by making their presence felt online as these can now easily reach out to people. Maneet Grewal, president of Aagaz says that online and social media presence has led them to better contacts. "Around 80 per cent of the contacts we have so far came through online presence," she says. It helps in generating more awareness and keeping people informed about what they are doing and reaching out to people to gather more support and volunteers, she says.

Ludhiana chapter of Goonj, another NGO, that is helping people in need and making the leftover material and disposed of things by people reach those in need, got help from online presence. "The advantage of social media of course is the two-way real time communication," says Maneet Dhawan, from the NGO.

"Ludhiana Cares" a Facebook page, that has been created recently by the Ludhiana Management Association as a common page for NGOs already generating interest among many, according to Dhawan.

Most of the city-based NGOs have already listed on the page and at least 15 more NGOs reached within a day or two of its creation.

Social media is a better way to reach out the youth in particular, says Preet, a resident. It can create a huge difference to getting more volunteers and sensitising the youth about the gravity of the issues as well as the organisations working in various spheres, he says.
