Lack of preparedness exposed
Chandigarh, December 9 There were only three staff members, including a ticket checker, a projector operator and a security guard at in the theatre when the fire broke out. However, it is mandatory for the theatres to ensure the presence sufficient staff for operating the fire-safety equipment. The smoke generated in the balcony made it difficult for the firefighters enter the theatre. It took them about 90 minutes to douse the flames. The fire that started from the basement spread in the entire theatre within no time. Night show of movie "Son of Sardar" was on when the fire broke out. There were two families (6 persons) in the theatre who were rescued by the firefighters. “We could manage the situation well since there were only six persons in the cinema hall and the evacuation process was easy. Had there been more viewers, it could have led to a stampede-like situation,” said a fire official. Station house officers of the Sector 34 police station inspector Diwan Singh said: “We reached the theatre a few minutes after the fire broke out, but the viewers had already left.” Sham Singh, station fire officer of the Sector 32 fire station, said the exit points of the theatre were immediately opened.

PGIMER fails to repair faulty wheelchairs, stretcher
trolleys
Chandigarh, December 9 A number of trolleys and wheelchairs with minor defects have been lying at the workshop since months. An official from the engineering department said there were many trolleys and wheelchairs dumped in the workshop which do not have wheels. There are no other defects and these can be utilised easily, he added. A visit to the New OPD block and the general emergency wing revealed the problems faced by patients with chronic ailments who struggle to find trolleys and wheelchairs. While an octogenarian patient has to bear the pain in his recently operated leg to sit on his son’s scooter every time he comes to the PGI for check-up and walk to the patients’ lift in the New OPD block from the parking, another neuro patient has to keep sitting on a pavement for hours in search of a wheelchair to go inside. There are a total of 250 wheelchairs and 500 trolleys in working condition at the PGI. These have been distributed among the new OPD block, the general emergency and a few other departments. Due to the lack of designated space allocated for trolleys and wheelchairs, a patient keeps struggling to find the same. Neither the general emergency nor the new OPD block has any space for trolleys. Also, the recently built Advanced Trauma Centre lacks the facility. There are no sheds available in the hospital where these trolleys and wheelchairs could be protected from moisture.

open house response
The Municipal Corporation of Chandigarh has failed to protect its prime land from encroachers across the city. A large number of areas have been encroached upon by land-grabbers in parks, city roads and other areas meant for public. A majority of these encroachments are made at behest of well-connected persons.
I feel area councillors can play an active role in changing the face of this city, which is plagued with a dearth of open spaces so called encroachments by requesting the concerned resident of their respective area. Eight years ago, nobody would love to walk in Nehru park, Sector 22, Chandigarh, encroached by wastes, malba or useless exhibitions. Today it is one of the best-maintained gardens in the city and this has happened only with the efforts of the area councillor. Mayor Rajbala malik should instruct the officers to remove the encroachments. Sachin Sharma,
Chandigarh Shopkeepers should be made aware of accidents
A meeting should be arranged between the MC officials and the shopkeepers. The shopkeepers should be made aware of the severe accidents, which can occur, due to these encroachments. They should be informed that commuters are going to suffer without any fault of theirs. If all these efforts are going waste, then these market owners should be heavily fined. Priya,
Mohali Harsh action should be taken by MC
It is very difficult for the people to even walk on the corridors meant for the purpose. Shopkeepers display their products right on the corridors causing inconvenience to the customers. The customers are helpless. Because they have no one to complain to. It is sad and shameful that the municipal corporation (MC) has failed to remove such encroachments from the markets even through its many campaigns at irregular intervals. This shows that the MC is not giving the required punishments to the guilty shopkeepers. Its fines seem to be totally ineffective. In such a condition, the guilty shopkeepers must be fined heavily like Rs 1,000 for each item every time that is displayed on the public place (corridors). Even the material displayed on the encroached space should be taken away by the MC and later on auctioned to the public at cheaper rates. Unless harsh action is taken, the problem of encroachments by shopkeepers in the markets will not be solved. RK
Kapoor, Chandigarh Encroachments in markets have been customised
Encroachments in city markets have been customised by the officials responsible to remove them in collusion with the vendors doing the business on encroached public land with impunity. None of them is bothered that these encroachments cause inconvenience to the commuters. We are witness to the various fires that broke out in the rehri markets of the city where venders suffered huge losses. It has also become customary for some routine challans and wares of vendors are confiscated which are returned to these vendors after they pay the prescribed fees. Satish Chandra Sharma,
Chandigarh Not an activity of encroachment
In the Indian system, the day-to-day requirements are met by daily workers who cannot afford the rent of pucca stalls. But to make a living, they have to pay a fixed amount to the shop owner who permits them to display their wares in the space before the shops. In such a scenario, we should not treat these petty traders’ day time business activity as an encroachment on public land like that of higher ups in police force and in view of the services made available to nearby residents. S C Lutheran,
Mani Majra Weak laws of enforcement
The reasons for the failure on the part of MC officials in checking encroachments in the tricity is because of weak laws of enforcement, lack of effective regulatory and compliance mechanism. The poor officials of the MC enforcement wing hesitate to take any action against power full personals by the fearing the burnt their fingers in trying to scuttle. They always try to gain time on one pretext or other. I suggest that the enforcement wing must be given free hand to check encroachment without fearing the influential person. Vidya Sagar
Garg, Panchkula MC should fine shopkeepers
Everyone knows that the tricity is a modern and beautiful. The shopkeepers should avoid encroachment in front of their shops. The MC officials should fine the shopkeepers if they break the rules. The authorities should cancel the license of the shopkeepers if they disobey to the administration. Sumesh Kumar,
Mohali MC hand-in-glove with encroachers
The failure of the MC officials to remove or raze the encroachments in the city indicates connivance with the encroachers. The encroachments must be removed in a stipulated time. Apart from the MC officials, the police should also be given responsibility to ensure that the encroachments are not back. The encroachments are a stigma on the architectural planning of the city, which must be done away with Gurmit Singh
Saini, Canada Act with an iron hand against defaulters
Encroachment is done not only in the government properties like public buildings, roads, parks etc but also on a number of unallotted plots and flats valued worth crores of rupees, had been encroached upon by unauthorised persons right under the nose of the authorities. Notably, the junk dealers, sitting along with railway line, near the newly converted hotels at Phase II and certain points in Phase I Industrial Area, Chandigarh, are doing their business on encroached land. Besides, slum dwellers used to encroach upon the public land. The bureaucrats, especially, who have been allotted government accommodation, have constructed an illegal toilets in parks, Illegal sewerages and water and electricity facility have also been availed as “kundi connections” besides tents are pitched up near their residences for security people, servants, gardeners etc. These people used to have all facilities like television, fan, and coolers during summers at the cost of public exchequer. It is unfortunate that despite the orders of the Punjab and Haryana High Court against encroaching upon roads and public parks bureaucrats continue to indulge with the illegal practice. SK Khosla,
Chandigarh UT Admn has not learned any lesson
The Municipal Corporation, Estate Office and the police officials have failed to check encroachments in various markets. They have no concern even if the markets are in flames. The UT Administration has not learned any lesson. The shopkeepers have encroached every space in rehri markets and other such parts by displaying their goods. The rehri markets are full of clothe, wool, wood, and other flammable material. There are a number of eatable shops that use domestic LPG cylinders. ML
Garg, Chandigarh Encroachment has become a normal routine
The encroachment by the shopkeepers has become a normal routine. Burning embers of coal, red-hot tandoors, boiling oil cauldrons and cooking stoves are a common sight in the open. These causes inconvenience not only to the shoppers but also pose a serious fire hazard to them. Exemplary punishment should be meted out to any of the official conniving with them. Gursharan Singh
Bedi, Mohali Mushrooming of encroachments in tricity
Even after repeated action by the MC, the encroachments have not vanished. Due to a large number of displayed items and various stalls in the corridors of these markets, there is hardly any space left to pass through them. Such congested corridors are extremely risky as in case of any unfortunate incident, the visitors cannot make an emergency exit. Every time the MC officials make checks in markets, the shopkeepers run with their stuff and come back when the officials leave. The MC now has to take the issue seriously and be tough with the encroachers Dr Shruti K Chawla,
Chandigarh MC has failed to check encroachments
The corridors and pavements in almost all markets should be freed from encroachers. Strict actions need to be taken to remove such encroachments so that it is convenient for the public to move around without
chaos. Penalties should be levied on the encroachers. Isha Dahiya,

Unmanned parking at ISBT-43 worries residents
Chandigarh, December 9 Hundreds of commuters take buses everyday from the ISBT and travel outside the city after leaving their four-wheelers at the parking lot here. In the absence of a parking operator, there is no one to ensure the safety of vehicles. The parking has been lying vacant for the past over six months. Jatin Kapoor, who runs a travel company, said: “He often parks his car at the ISBT parking lot for a couple of days when he travels to Punjab. In the absence of a paid parking, it is quite unsafe to park the vehicle at the bus stand”. Naveen, an IT professional working in the city who every weekend visits his hometown in Punjab, said he had no other option but to park his car at the unmanned parking at the ISBT. “I sometimes reach back Chandigarh in the odd hours when auto-rickshaw drivers ask for very high fare to travel to Mani Majra. In that situation, having own car parked at the bus stand is the best option. However, parking vehicles at the unnamed parking is quite unsafe,” he said. Chandigarh Transport Undertaking (CTU) general manager SP Parmar said the CTU had tried to auction the parking twice, but they didn’t receive the minimum bid for operating the parking. “We are in the process of inviting applications
again and the contract will be allotted through the auction process,” he said. CTU officials said they had informed the police officials at the beat box, ISBT-43, about the unavailability of contractor and had requested them to ensure the safety of cars parked at the bus stand parking lot.

UT Admn plans to revise property conversion fee
Chandigarh, December 9 "Last time, the fee was revised in 2003. In the past nine years, property prices have gone up manifold," said an official. Of the total around 9,000 leasehold plots, at least 50 per cent have already got it converted. But the remaining plots are yet to be converted. Recently, the Finance Department has directed the UT estate office to work out the modalities for revising the conversion fee. The leasehold plots were allotted between 1975 and 2005. In 2003, the rates were fixed at Rs 1,710 per sq yard. Sources reveal that the issue of the transfer of leasehold property, mostly sold on the General Power of Attorney (GPA), was being discussed
after the GPA has been banned. In 2001, the Chandigarh Administration has allowed GPA holders to get residential property changed to their own names by first paying a fixed conversion charge and also 12.5 per cent of the present market value as stamp duty. The affected properties were either of the Estate Office or the Chandigarh Housing Board. The scheme for allowing conversion from leasehold to freehold had come in 1996. However, the GPA holders were not being considered.

Glazing to be removed from govt buildings in Sector 17
“Removing glazing from the government offices will send the right signal to others,” said a senior UT official. The Architecture Department had earlier pointed out that the defacement of buildings was also against the heritage plan. The heritage status does not allow glazing on corridors. Recently, the UT Finance Secretary has written letters to the Punjab and Haryana Chief Secretaries seeking their cooperation in maintaining the heritage status of Sector 17. As the UT estate office is not the allotting authority in case of government buildings, the subject fell under the purview of the Engineering Department or the Chandigarh Administration. Due to the ambiguity of the agency responsible for checking the violation, no action has been taken against the government offices so far. During a recent meeting, the UT finance secretary had directed the UT estate office to remove the violation from some of the offices so that others could also follow. While Punjab offices are located in 70 bays buildings, Haryana offices are located in 30 bays buildings. Over 50 offices of both states are situated on the upper floors of the SCOs in Sector 17.

Police of neighbouring states to interrogate fraudsters
Chandigarh, December 9 Anil Joshi, DSP, Economic Offence Wing (EOW), said the Delhi police had approached them with the similar complaints in which traders were duped with the same modus operandi. “More incidents of fraud will be unearthed with the arrest of the gang members, who had duped traders to the tune of more than Rs 2 crore,” Joshi said. The DSP said teams from the neighbouring states would be arriving in the city to interrogate the accused. The key accused used to surf Internet and identify dealers in various states and after the dealers fell in his trap, he used to ask for consignments in trucks to be delivered in the outskirts of Chandigarh and fool the truck drivers. The accused then used to dupe truck drivers and sell the material at lower rates. While the key accused, Gurpreet Singh, was arrested on December 6, the other four were arrested yesterday. The investigations have revealed that the key accused had opened an account at a bank in Faridabad on the basis of fake documents. The accused used to give demand drafts of fake accounts to traders. The DSP said Gurpreet used to fool the traders claiming that he had his company at Nalagarh, which didn’t exist. The UT Police is also scrutinising e-mail accounts and assets of all accused. The traders to whom the accused used to sell the material would also be contacted by the police. The police is also verifying their previous crime records. Meanwhile, all accused were produced before the duty magistrate today, who sent then to two-day police remand.
