Marriage palace owners get relief
Ludhiana, December 19 Responding to fervent pleas made by the affected marriage palace owners, the government has allowed certain relaxations in the last date for submission of applications, payment of fee for regularisation as well as in the stipulated building bylaws. While the proposed amendments, which have been cleared by the state Cabinet, are yet to be notified, sources in the Housing and Urban Development Department said the last day for the submission of applications for regularisation, fixed earlier as December 20, had now been extended to December 31. A time frame for the process of regularisation had also been laid down in the policy, and the regulatory bodies would have to accord approval latest by January 15, 2013. Similarly, the condition of payment of 50 per cent of the total charges for regularisation, payable along with the application, has been relaxed, and now the applicants would have to pay 25 per cent of the total charges at the time of the submission of application as first instalment of the regularisation fee. The sources said the government had also conceded the demand for relaxation in the condition of minimum area for marriage palaces on link roads in the state. The relaxation in the minimum required area would be available to existing marriage palaces only while new marriage palaces would have to adhere to the provisions laid down in the policy. In addition, the government had also amended some other conditions in the building norms keeping in view the practical difficulties being faced by the marriage palace owners, the sources said. Hailing the relief provided by the state government, Gulshan Kumar, a city-based realtor and marriage palace owner, said the government should also reconsider the change of land use (CLU) charges of Rs 50 lakh and Rs 40 lakh per acre fixed for marriage palaces located on highways and link roads, respectively. District Town Planner MS Mann, who was entrusted with the task of carrying out a physical survey of all existing marriage palaces, said the initial survey of 119 palaces had been completed. "The details collected by the survey teams with regard to dimensions and other conditions laid down for the regularisation of marriage palaces are being tabulated and the report will be submitted to the Greater Ludhiana Area Development Authority (GLADA), the regulatory body, within a couple of days," he said. Chief Administrator of GLADA Shruti Singh said once the survey report of marriage palaces was received from the Town and Country Planning Department, the process of acceptance of applications along with the first instalment of the CLU, would be set in motion. |

Respite for danga peerats
Ludhiana, December 19 The danga peerats were provided accommodation in two categories: Lower Income Group (LIG) and Middle Income Group (MIG). Initially, for the LIG flats, danga peerats were to pay Rs 33,000 while for the MIG flats, they were to pay Rs 88,000. Following directions from the High Court, the authorities were asked to prepare a list of the danga peerats and allot the houses through a draw of lots. In the meantime, the agencies concerned, including the Housing Board and PUDA, asked the state government to revise the rates to make up for the difference in the cost of the land and construction as the earlier rates had been fixed about two decades ago. The interest factor was added to the actual cost. The Financial Commissioner, Revenue, held a meeting on the issue and the new rates were fixed at Rs 15 lakh for an LIG Flat and Rs 34 lakh for an MIG accommodation. The danga peerats moved the High Court against this decision. The court asked the government to give a second thought to the decision. "A meeting was held a few days ago in Chandigarh and the Chief Minister asked the authorities not to levy the interest factor on the actual cost of the house. A copy of this decision will be sent to the authorities concerned soon. It will give respite to the danga peerats," said a senior official of the Revenue Department, Chandigarh. |

Garbage raises big stink; blame game continues
Ludhiana, December 19 A private company, A2Z Waste Management Ludhiana Ltd, has a contract with the Ludhiana Municipal Corporation but areas developed by the LIT are suffering because A2Z is allegedly not lifting garbage from these areas. The road running parallel to the railway track in Shaheed Bhagat Singh Nagar on Pakhowal Road looks like a garbage dump. For the past few days, neither A2Z nor the LIT has made efforts to lift the garbage. Residents of this area have been requesting the LIT as well as the area councillor to get the garbage lifted. LIT officials say it is the responsibility of the MC to get the garbage lifted. Area councillor Tanvir Singh Dhaliwal said, "The LIT, the MC and A2Z should understand that if there is an outbreak of disease in the area due to the garbage, it can spread to the adjoining localities as well. It will be better if they realise their duties and get the area cleared,” he said. MC Joint Commissioner AS Sekhon said if there was any such problem, he would get the garbage lifted. “We have already written to the LIT that as the contract of solid waste management is with a private company and we pay it for lifting the garbage, the LIT should pay Rs 450 per tonne as charges for lifting the garbage. A formal letter in this regard was sent a few days ago. We are also trying to fix a meeting between the MC and the LIT on the issue,” said
Sekhon. 'Sorry, office timings over'
LIT engineer Sukhbir Singh Jakhar said the Trust did not a mechanism for lifting garbage. Asked whether he would take up the matter with the MC, Jakhar said, “My office timings end at 5 pm. After that I have to devote time to my personal affairs. Whatever information you require, please call me tomorrow between 9 am and 5 pm. Right now I am busy with my friends,” he said. |

Ludhiana-Ferozepur highway turning into death trap; admn fails to check menace
Ludhiana, December 19 Not a single day passes without a fatal accident on this stretch. Overtaking and rash driving has become an unwritten rule on the stretch from Ludhiana to Mullapur. Taking cognizance of the issue, Deputy Comissioner Rahul Tiwari, along with the then DTO Ashwani Kumar and road safety experts had conducted a survey earlier last year. The team had identified 22 accident prone spots on a stretch from Mullapur
to Ludhiana and decided to install delineators, cat eyes, speed breakers and sign boards on the
road for the safety of the commuters. The project, however, was never undertaken as the PWD department expressed its inability in bearing its cost. Following the election, moreover, it was decided to turn the stretch into
an expressway. The commuters complain that the construction company removed the existing sign boards from the road, making it even
more unsafe to travel on the stretch. Buses driven rashly
Drivers of the private as well as the government-owned buses are contributing to the menace. They are indulging in rash driving, leading to fatal accidents. Several attempts to install speed governors on these buses have also failed. Road safety experts feels that accidents will decrease if speed regulations are imposed on the highway and persons involved in over speeding are strictly dealt with. Marriage palaces add
to the menace
The marriage palaces are also contributing to the menace. People visiting the marriage parties are often in an inebriated condition while returning, leading to fatal accidents. Recently DIG, Ludhiana Range, MF Farooqui and SSP, Jagraon, Ashish Choudhary had taken strict action against the persons who were found indulging in drunk driving. It led to fall in such incidents.

Bus stuck in workshop, courtesy cash crunch
Ludhiana, December 19 A driver working with the LCBSL told The Tribune that low-floor bus (number PB 10 DJ 8475) had developed a mechanical snag more than a month back. “Another bus (number PB 10 DJ 8474) had also gone to the same workshop due to some mechanical snag but was sent back after repair. The other bus, however, is still in the workshop because the LCBSL authorities failed to clear a bill amounting to around Rs 40,000. We have come to know that the workshop owners had told categorically that till the time the bill is cleared, they will not give delivery of the bus,” he said. The LCBSL officials, however, refute these allegations, and claim that the bus has been parked in the workshop because there has been a delay in the delivery of some spare part. Baljit Singh, manager, LCBSL, said: “There are no issues related to any outstanding bill because our buses keep visiting the same workshop for repairs.” When contacted, Rakesh Kumar Verma, chairman, LCBSL, and MC Commissioner, said the matter had not come to his notice. At present, the LCBSL is successfully running a fleet of 20 low-floor non-AC buses in the city, out of which 10 have been procured from the Tata company and the other 10 from Ashok Leyland. Another lot of 30 buses is parked in the Tata company’s regional sales office near Chandigarh and is still awaiting delivery.

Jagraon, December 19, 2012 During the protest, the union members raised slogans against the state government and the state transport department for constantly ignoring their demand. While speaking to the media persons after the demonstration, Jagraon unit president of the union Sukhdev Singh said: "The state government has been deliberately causing financial loss to the Punjab Roadways buses to benefit the private bus companies owned by certain leaders of the ruling party. The union has decided to not join the work till our single point demand of regularising the drivers and conductors hired under the contract system is not met." As a result of the strike, hundreds of buses are not plying on the roads, making the passengers, particularly the students, a harried lot. "We completely depend upon the Punjab Roadways buses to reach our college, but as the Punbus buses are not plying, we have to wait too long to board a bus. Moreover, the drivers of the Punjab Roadways buses do not stop their buses at bus stops and we have no option but to board private buses and shell out extra money to reach our college," rued some students while waiting for a bus at a local bus stand. Other passengers too have been facing a lot of inconvenience. Some passengers complained that they have to travel to their destinations in packed buses. The passengers have urged the state government to resolve the issue as soon as possible. Public, a harried lot We completely depend upon the Punjab Roadways buses to reach our college. But as the Punbus buses are not plying due to the ongoing strike, we have to wait too long to board a bus — An affected student
