Municipal corporation’s final warning to
shopkeepers
Mayor says strict action will be taken this time in Company Bagh Chowk, Jyoti Chowk, Basti Adda Chowk up to Nakodar Chowk Aparna Banerji Tribune News Service
Jalandhar, March 3 Teams of the Tehbazaari Department, accompanied by police officials, issued warnings to shopkeepers of Sunday Market to remove their shops, stalls and encroachments from given area, failing which strict action would be taken against them.
The visit of officials resulted in a commotion in the market, as some vendors began wrapping up their stalls today itself. Other shopkeepers, though, surrounded the MC officials to demand an alternative place to set up their shop. The teams issued warning to shopkeepers encroaching on the road stretch of Company Bagh Chowk, Jyoti Chowk (Rainak Bazaar), Basti Adda Chowk up to Nakodar Chowk. While the move was welcomed by residents, some expressed reservations about the action, claiming that the encroachments had usually resurfaced in the past. Mayor Sunil Jyoti said this time encroachers would be strictly dealt with. “For the past few months we have been taking serious action against encroachers in the city and activities in this direction have regularly been taking place. While we also need people’s co-operation for the success of these drives, we are committed to press hard on it this time,” the Mayor said. Vikrant Verma, superintendent, Tehbazaari Department said, “We have issued the last warning to shopkeepers and from next Sunday, no encroachments will be permitted in the area.” Speaking on the encroachers’ demand for the provision for an alternative place, Verma said, “Reactions during such drives are inevitable. But we did not tell shopkeepers to set up the encroachments, so we can’t provide them any alternatve space either.” Notably, the Sunday Bazaar encroachments have given a hard time for many years. Due to the busy, congested Sunday Bazaar, residents in the vicinity have often complained of serious problems. They say they still (until today) have to park their vehicles (cars and bikes) outside the area and have to bring them back in the night, as during the day, there is no room to move vehicles to their houses. Traffic congestions are also common and the bazaar also poses a threat to patients because ambulances and vehicles can’t be moved in and out.

Musician wants to connect with youth through contemporary music
Amritsar march 3 To perform at the classical music festival at Virsa Vihar in the city, Pravin talks about his love story with the bamboo stick, fusion and future of classical music. "When I started training with my father, he taught me one thing: Bansuri may be the simplest instrument to look at but it is the toughest to learn," he says. Pravin is the first Indian artist to play 8-ft contrabass in a concert, winner of Suramani Award. He has done solo shows around the world and formed a fusion band Krishna. Having mastered his father’s unique style of singing on flute called gayaki style and thanthrakari style, Pravin is busy balancing fusion and classical music. "I believe that fusion of classical music with various contemporary genres can bring in younger audience, who otherwise listen to western music. Though I do raga-based fusion, it is just a different music package the roots and therapautic nature of the music remains intact," he says. With three generations of flautists in the family, the youngest being his son Shadaj, 8, Pravin says he enjoys playing in small towns rather than metros. "A few understand classical music. It is easier to connect with that audience who understand well with the classical music. His upcoming performance in the city will be a fusion of Carnatic and Hindustani style. |

Mehta accuses Amarinder of dictatorial attitude
PHAGWARA, March 3 He said the Congress was losing its base in urban localities due to the maintaining distance policy of Captain with workers. Talking to newsmen here, Mehta said Captain should make a self analysis in stead of accusing Congressmen. He alleged that Captain himself went on attempting to join hands with the PPP, which is the B-team of the SAD (Badal). He urged the Congress high command to reconsider and replace the PPCC leadership to ensure the victory of the Congress in the coming Lok Sabha elections and to strengthen the party in the state. Mehta claimed that Ludhiana Congress MLA Rakesh Pandey, who is the son of slain veteran Congress leader late Joginder Pal Pandey, put his hard efforts and organised Congress rallies, which were addressed by Union Minister Manish Tiwari and former Chief Minister Rajinder Kaur Bhattal in Moga.Mehta said the Congress won by a margin of 800 votes in ward no 15 allotted to Rakesh Pandey. Mehta said that rather than issuing notice to others, PPCC president should issue a notice to himself and go in for a serious introspection on why the Congress lost elections in 2007 and now in 2012 under his presidentship.
