No bidder takes part in MC auction
Ludhiana, November 21 As the financial condition of the Ludhiana Municipal Corporation is not good, the MC had planned to auction three of its properties to generate revenue. But unfortunately, today’s auction had to be cancelled as no bidder participated in it. The reserve price for this property was fixed at Rs 40,000 per sq yard. Interestingly, Assistant Town Planner (ATP) Surinder Singh Bindra was seen urging the probable bidders to take part in the auction, but to no avail. Some of the people, who had come to participate in this auction raised questions on the reserve price fixed by the MC. “The reserve price of Rs 40,000 per sq yard is too high for this area. Had it been between Rs 20,000 and Rs 22,000 per yard, we would have certainly taken part in the auction. Or the MC could have auctioned this property in chunks because otherwise the total cost comes out to be around Rs 24 crore,” said a probable bidder. To take part in this auction, the bidders were to pay Rs 23 lakh as earnest money and a minimum of three bidders were required to complete the quorum. Some people seemed interested to take part in the auction, but when they came to know that not even a single person had deposited earnest money, they backed out. Meanwhile, a group of people present there also alleged that the said property belonged to them and the MC was auctioning it illegally. “The matter is in the court and the MC cannot auction it. We have even submitted an application regarding this matter to the Deputy Commissioner,” claimed Satinder Singh, a relative of Randhir Singh of Barewal Awana village, who claims to be the real owner of this land. This claim of a group, led by Satinder Singh, certainly played spoilsport as the probable bidders stayed away from the auction. But, the MC officials, too, produced a document which stated that the property could be auctioned. “If the MC wants to put the property to auction, then the pendency of the civil suit is not hindrance in the auction of this property. So, the MC Ludhiana can put the property to auction,” read a letter signed by GS Gill, law officer, Zone D office of the MC. Senior Town Planner Hemant Batra said the auction had been cancelled for want of bidders. “We waited for them till 2 pm but no bidder turned up. The fresh date of auction will be announced after consultation with the MC Commissioner,” said Hemant Batra. Two more properties to
be auctioned
The second property to be auctioned is a 9,820 sq yard plot near Dairy Complex on the Hambran Road and it will be used for residential projects. Its reserve price has been fixed at Rs 10,000 per sq yard and the auction will take place on November 23. Another property where 30 SCOs of 100 sq yard each will be constructed adjoining Keys Hotel near Shaheed Bhagat Singh Nagar will be auctioned on November 26. The reserve price for it has been fixed as Rs 1.5 lakh per sq yard, which means each SCO will be sold for at least Rs 1.5 crore.

MC offices to have bio-metric system of attendance
Puneet Pal Singh Gill Tribune News Service
Ludhiana, November 21 To make sure that the MC officials reach their offices on time, Mayor Harcharan Singh Gohalwaria checked attendance at the Zone C office today and found that one employee was absent while another reported on duty late. Both these employees were issued show-cause notices by the Mayor. Ever since Gohalwaria took over as Mayor, he has been regularly conducting surprise checks in the MC offices. It’s not that he has been conducting surprise checks only in the morning, but checks have been carried out in the evening also. For the last several years, the proposal of installing the bio-metric system of attendance in the MC offices has failed to materialise for one reason or the other. While speaking to The Tribune, the Mayor said the idea of installing the bio-metric system in the MC offices came to his mind after it was observed that some of the MC employees were not staying in office during office hours (9 am to 5pm). Even though I have been conducting surprise checks in the MC offices, now, I have decided to get the bio-metric system of attendance installed in all our offices. This way, the employees will have no other option but to remain in the offices. The MC employees should understand that even if they remain away from their seats for 10 minutes, a resident, who has come to MC office for some work, will suffer. And I must make it very clear that I will not tolerate any such indiscipline in my offices. The employees will have to sit in the offices from 9 am to 5 pm, said the Mayor. This system will be installed in the building of the Zone C office in the next about 10 days and will start functioning immediately. Mayor 'shocked' to see grime on foundation stone
While Mayor Harcharan Singh Gohalwaria was taking a round of the Zone C office located on the Gill
Road, he suddenly halted before an illegal tea stall operating outside the office building. A black marble slab was installed at the spot where the stove was kept by the vendor. As the Mayor walked towards the slab, it suddenly turned out to be the foundation stone of the Zone C office building. Gohalwaria could not read it as it was literally blackened with smoke and grime. I tried hard to read the letters inscribed on the foundation stone but in vain. I asked Zonal Commissioner AS Sekhon to get the foundation stone cleaned and all such encroachments removed from the area. We have been clearing encroachments from different parts of the city, but if such encroachments exist right outside our own offices, then we should not be proud of this fact. I have given two-day time to the Zone C staff to get the encroachments removed and get the area cleaned, said the Mayor. |

Encroachments removed from road
Puneet Pal Singh Gill Tribune News Service
Ludhiana, November 21 Mayor Gohalwaria has been carrying out anti-encroachment drives in different parts of the city for the past few days. "I have promised that I will remove encroachments from one road daily and today it was the Pakhowal Road," said the Mayor while speaking to The Tribune. The anti-encroachment drive was carried out between the Railway Crossing on the Pakhowal Road and the Ludhiana Municipal Corporation limits. Interestingly, Gohalwaria got off his official vehicle and walked the entire stretch of more than 3 km. "I don't want that the anti-encroachment drive should be carried on paper only. That is why I chose to leave my official vehicle and walked till the municipal limits. This way, I came to know about the encroachments on roads in a better way," said Gohalwaria. As Gohalwaria was walking on the Pakhowal Road, some MC officials accompanying him were huffing and puffing to keep up with him. "We thought that the Mayor would just visit the Pakhowal Road, but when he got off his official vehicle, I knew that we would now have to walk till the municipal limits," said an MC official, requesting anonymity. Encroachments outside shops on this road lead to frequent traffic jams, leaving commuters fumed. A group of the residents of the area had requested the Mayor to visit their area. "If any resident feels that the MC officials of their area are not performing their duty honestly, they can contact me anytime. And I assure them that I will visit the area and get their problems sorted out," said Harcharan Singh Gohalwaria. During the drive, the MC Tehbazaari wing confiscated more than a dozen rehris, several ‘farhis’ and other goods, that were kept on the road.

Units asked to produce mixed land use certificate
Ludhiana, November 21 Kishan Chand said when the corporation had approved in its master plan and earmarked the MLU areas then why is the PPCB asking them to get the certificate? "They can themselves check the maps but still they are asking for the certificate. Getting a certificate is not an easy job as we have to submit the required documents and pay Rs 5,000 as fee. It is a waste of both time and money," he said. Badish Jindal, president of the Federation of Punjab Small Industries Association (FOPSIA), said the PPCB was asking for the certificate certifying that the unit is under the MLU category. It is a sheer waste of time and will make the things more complex. "When everything is on record and even the corporation has approved in its master plan then why are the PPCB authorities asking for the certification? If there is a need for the same, they can cross check it from the corporation or look at the maps. The owners of units will have to pay Rs 5,000 each as fee, which is uncalled for," he added. "I need to get an NOC from the Pollution Control Department, but instead of issuing me one they have asked me to produce a certificate of MLU. Now, I will have to shell out money for getting a certificate and my work, for which I need an NOC, will get delayed. Getting the MLU certificate is not a one-day job. I will have get the required documents attested, submit the fee and then I will get the MLU certificate. When everything is approved by the government then demand for such certification is uncalled for," said Manohar Chand, another unit holder.

Unavailability of funds hitting small units
Ludhiana, November 21 Most of the owners of the sick units said they did not have access to the institutional credit. "Banks insist on guarantee for loans and charge
higher interests than the base rate. Therefore, SMEs end up borrowing from other informal sources at high interests," said Jagdev Singh, a small
unit holder. "Delayed payments by big companies are impacting the functioning of small enterprises. This further reduces capital, available with a unit for productive use and lead to sickness," said Kundan Makhija, an exporter. Another reason for the bad health of the SMEs is bunching of ownership and management functions of these enterprises, which are controlled by one or few selected people. "There is lack of versatility and professionalism as well as shortage of competency to efficiently manage businesses in the present economic scenario," said Makhija. While narrating his tale of woes, Parshotam Jain said he tried his level best to save his unit but to no avail. "The loan was mounting with each passing day while the credit was not flowing in.

Industry worried over low duty on imports from Pakistan
Ludhiana, November 21 The local industry is worried that China will take advantage of low import duty on imports from Pakistan in dumping Chinese items in India through the Pakistan route. "At presently Chinese are dumping their goods in India through the Bangladesh route and once the 5 per cent duty on imports from Pakistan is effected China will choose the Pakistan route to dump goods in India. We want the government to seriously check this practice before 5 per cent import duty is imposed on imports from Pakistan," said Badish
Jindal, president of the Federation of Punjab Small Industries Association
(FOPSIA). Items will be undoubtedly dumped in India through Pakistan and it would seriously affect the domestic MSE sector. Such imports need to be curbed, he added. Another industrialist Jeevan
Rai, representing the MSME sector, said 5 per cent import duty on goods from Pakistan was a welcome step but they wanted the Pakistan route should not be misused. "We are already facing a tough time as items manufactured by the MSME sector are also traded through South Asian Free Trade Area
(SAFTA), giving a tough competition to the local cycle and knitwear industry. We want that the products manufactured by the MSME sector should not be allowed to be traded though SAFTA and now the 5 per cent import duty will prove double whammy for the local industry as China will misuse the Pakistan route," he said.

Verka dealers protest
Ludhiana, Nov 21 Jaspal Singh, one of the dealers said Verka wanted to promote its products including cheese, butter, lassi etc to gain more profits. "But we can’t force the consumers to purchase these items. Some prefer other products over Verka and the managements should understand this and must not compel us
to sell their products," he said. There are over 600 dealers (Verka) in Ludhiana, which are divided over the issue. Kewal, one of
the dealers said that at the time of giving the distribution to dealers, latter had to sign an agreement that they could
only sell the particular products. "Still if others sell products of private companies, then the management will object," he said. AS Bhagpur, chairman Verka Milk Plant, said that some of the dealers had protested as we had asked them to promote Verka products. "There is nothing wrong in it. They get only those products, which are profitable. But they have to achieve their targets too. We told them to promote our other products including lassi, butter and cheese, too. But they prefer to promote the products of private companies, which float many additional schemes. They held a protest today against our appeal,"
said Bhagpur.

Statins no less than ‘wonder drugs’
Ludhiana, November 21 Dr Rajneesh Calton professor and head of cardiology department of the Christian Medical College and Hospital said,
"Statins are recommended when a person witnesses heart problem. It is indeed helpful drug, which is used to prevent the heart disease. It is also advised even is a person doesn't have heart problem but has high level of cholesterol. But its usage without consulting a doctor should be avoided as these also have side-effects like muscular pain and liver
disfunction.'' However, Dr GS Wander, chief cardiologist-cum-coordinator of the Hero DMC Heart Institute said, "There are eight reasons for heart diseases. But statins handle most important reason of heart problem i.e. controls increased level of cholesterol. In the UK, low doze statins are over the counter drugs. For an Indian, level of the LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein) should be less than 70. So a cardiologist advises ratio of statins while keeping in mind the level of
LDL." Dr Harinder Singh Bedi, head of cardio vascular and thoracic surgery at the CMCH said, "When a person suffers from heart problem, first we try to control his cholesterol level by asking him to bring changes in his life style. But in case it doesn't show any improvement, then we recommend
statins. It is a wonder drug but should be taken only under medical supervision. But a person, who is already taking
statins, should also take all necessary precautions for healthy heart like exercise and diet etc."

Sports dept faces challenge of accommodating kabaddi players
Ludhiana, November 21 However, right now the sports department is going door to door to manage the arrangements for the women Kabaddi players who have been summoned to Ludhiana for the selection camp. Due to the absence of accommodation for players in sports complex, district sports officials have been arranging the rooms at the Punjab Agriculture University (PAU) and other government rest houses. PAU rest houses are full due to the ongoing National KVK conference where KVK delegate has come across the country. Ironically, there are around eight rooms that have been lying abandoned in the district sports
complex. Teja Singh Dhaliwal, a veteran sportsman said, "Selection and practice camps of players are a regular process. A hostel is needed in the district sports complex. Hostel is equally important for players as play ground. Every time, organisers have to beg for the rooms from colleges and hostels. Government should construct hostel for players or renovate the rooms available in sports complex. Kartar Singh, District Sports officer, "The camp would be organised at the PAU grounds so it is better to make the arrangements for players at the PAU. Otherwise, we have to pay for the transportation. We have talked to the authorities for the accommodation and it would be
managed."
