ASI indicted, suspended
Chandigarh, December 16 The woman, who had got an opportunity to vent her grievance, had narrated her experience on how she was stopped by a traffic policeman and had asked her for the bribe. ASI Dulip Singh, who was then posted with the traffic police, has been suspended by the SSP after a preliminary inquiry found him guilty. This is the second instance when a police officer has been nailed on the complaint of a girl during an interaction on eve-teasing. A home guards volunteer, Om Parkash, was earlier dismissed from service after a student of the Government College for Girls, Sector 11, had complained against him to the SSP. UT SP (Traffic) Maneesh Chaudhery said the woman did not know the name of the traffic policeman who took bribe from her and after she narrated her experience, they had called all traffic policemen who were on duty at that particular time so the bribe accused could be identified. “The woman managed to identify the policeman and we ordered an inquiry. He was shifted to the Sector 26 police station and the file was then sent to the SSP,” said Chaudhery. SSP Naunihal Singh then passed the suspension orders this week. The interaction on eve-teasing at IT Park was held in October when the woman had complained that she was stopped by a traffic policeman at Modern Housing lights for over speeding. The ASI asked her to settle the matter on the spot and snatched money from her purse which she had taken out to show documents. After several days of struggle, the girl managed to get her money back from the policeman. “He asked me to show documents of the vehicle and started asking me about my salary. As soon as I took out the documents, he snatched the money from me,” she said. “After reaching office, I called at the police complaint number, but there was no response. Later, I somehow managed to speak with the SP and the policeman met me on the same road to return my money,” the victim added.

Chandigarh, December 16 The medical superintendent, GMSH-16, has also been made one of the respondents in the complaint. The complaint filed on October 30 cited the fact that there were only 116 doctors to attend to more than 2,500 patients at the Out Patient Department(OPD) at Government Multi Speciality Hospital (GMSH), Sector 16, everyday. “The above said figure of the doctors is very much on the lower side. However, the Administration has closed its eyes on the issue,” reads the copy of the complaint. The complainant, Arvind Thakur, contended that , “Due to the shortage of doctors at GMSH 16, appropriate facilities and medical care cannot be provided to the patients. Due to recent controversies emerging at the GMSH, the medical professionals are reluctant to join the hospital because it is not possible for the doctors at the GMSH to take care of each and every patient.” The Tribune had highlighted the issue earlier in September. Over the last one year more than 6.5 lakh patients have visited the hospital OPDs, while the number of patients in the in-patient department per day remained as high as 4,300. In addition, average number of surgeries performed per month turned out to be 1,000 and that of deliveries conducted in a month remained close to 850. The authorities attribute the rush of patients in the hospital to the lack of another other general hospital in the city.

Plaques a scar on city’s face
Plaques installed by officials for self-glorification has blotted the City Beautiful. The irony is that after installing the plaques, the officials do not even bother to visit the areas again. Most of the parks are a shambles. Nothing is being done to maintain these. A group of residents should hand over a memorandum to the Administrator, requesting him to do the needful. Priya Darsh Growar, Mohali
Projects must be completed on time Politicians should put in efforts to get the projects completed after laying foundation stones. These must be completed on time. People curse those who get their names engraved on plaques. What a shame! RK Kapoor, Chandigarh A right move Mayor Raj Bala Malik might have inaugurated the community centre at the Modern Housing Complex, Mani Majra, for self-glorification, but the beneficiaries owe a lot to the area councillor who got the work completed on time. The plaque installed on the day added to the aesthetics of the facade of the main building. SC Luthra, MHC, Mani Majra
Practice will continue The installation of plaques has become the in thing these days. No one knows about the foundation stone laid by President of India Dr Rajendra Prasad in Sector 1 in early 50s. It seems that even the officials have no control over the practice and it will continue. Tarsem Bhardwaj, Mani Majra Efforts must to maintain parks The plaque installed at the PGI's administrative block, with the name of Partap Singh Kairon, the then Chief Minister of Punjab, written on it adds to the beauty of the PGI. After laying a foundation stone, the officials should initiate steps to maintain the area. Gurmit Singh Saini, Ontario, Canada. Green belts should be maintained Politicians and MC officials launch projects with much fanfare, but when it comes to maintaining these, they choose to look the other way. Instead of installing plaques for self-glorification, they should maintain green belts. They should live up to the expectations of residents. Sumesh Kumar, Badhwar, Mohali A futile exercise Councillors are in no way behind, when it comes to taking credit for development works. Re-inaugurating already inaugurated parks or installing plaques do not make sense. The works that benefit residents should be appreciated. Sachin Sharma, Chandigarh Residents should raise voice The installation of plaques and inauguration is a part of our culture. The officials should launch projects to benefit the public. Politicians and bureaucrats are doing a wrong thing. Residents should raise their voice to put an end to the practice. Vidya Sagar Garg, Panchkula Practice has annoyed residents The poor upkeep of parks has resulted in resentment among the residents. Instead of putting up plaques, the MC should maintain parks properly as the civic body is short of machines and tools like tractors, grass cutters, leaf collectors and pest-spraying pumps. Dr Shruti K Chawla, Chandigarh Money should not be wasted Officials of the civic body must concentrate on important issues rather than wasting time and money in glorifying themselves by inaugurating parks and laying foundation stones, with their names engraved on those. Parks in the city are in a pitiable condition. Cleanliness drives should be carried out in the city. Vineet Kapoor, Panchkula Little is done for the upkeep of green belts Our city is becoming a city of plaques and those in power hog self-glorification. A little is done to maintain the projects. It is strange that the officials forget the projects after inaugurating those. Isha Dahiya, Panchkula Exercise should be banned The objective of the MC should be to serve the public. They should ask residents how they feel when they see a green belt in a poor state. There is a need to ban the practice. Satish Chandra Sharma, Chandigarh

No uniforms for schoolchildren
Chandigarh, December 16 “Children should get the school uniform at the beginning of the session, but uniforms have not yet been delivered to us,”
said the head of a government school. The children studying in the periphery schools
are reportedly more affected by the delay than those studying in the urban schools. The principal of the government school in Mauli Jagran said that this year the school had to take the help of some non-governmental organisations to arrange uniforms for the students from financially weaker sections of
the society. As per The Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act, students up to class VIII are to be provided free school uniforms. In Chandigarh, there
are around one lakh eligible students. The delay in supply of school uniforms is being attributed to indecision on the part of the department. Earlier, the Education Department had
proposed a one time cash subsidy, which was to be transferred to the joint account of the student and his/her mother, for the purpose of buying the uniform. Later, however, after a series of meetings with the heads of the schools and the senior officials of the department, it was decided that the school management committee (SMEs) of each school will be
responsible for buying the uniform for their respective wards. A school head, however, said that it was nearly a month ago that they were told about this decision, but since then there had been no word from
the department. District Education Officer Ram Kumar Sharma said the file had been sent to the higher officials. “As soon as it gets the official approval, the school heads will be informed about it with specific details,” he said.
