Schools refuse to pay enhanced cost
Ludhiana, April 16 Not only this, the Trust authorities failed to recover dues worth several lakhs from schools. Information provided by the LIT under the Right to Information Act to Rohit Sabharwal, president, Council of RTI Activists, revealed that 9.55 acres were allotted to Sacred Heart Covent School in the Sarabha Nagar area at the rate of Rs 20,000 per acre. The reserve price of the adjoining land was Rs 27 per square yard, which roughly works out to be anything between Rs 85,000 and Rs 90,000 per acre. Other beneficiary schools which were allotted land on subsidised rates in the Bhai Randhir Singh Nagar locality, a posh residential area, include DAV Public School (32,000 square yards), CFC Public School (10,212 square yards) at Rs 25 per square yard and Sacred Heart Convent School (13,020 square yards) at Rs 14 per square yards. The reserve price of the adjoining land in this colony at that particular period was Rs 50 per square yard. As per the conditions governing the allotment of land by the LIT, the allottees are bound to pay the enhancement, if any, which becomes payable to the owners for the acquired land at any subsequent stage following the orders of the court. And this is where the beneficiary schools defaulted on payments. The LIT officials also failed to discharge their duty diligently for the recovery of the enhanced cost. Information provided by the Trust revealed that DAV Public School and CFC Public School were asked to pay an enhanced rate of Rs 14 per square yard in November 1985. In December 2012, they were asked to pay Rs 22 per square yard. In other words, DAV School and CFC School have defaulted on the payment of Rs 4.48 lakh and Rs 1.42 lakh from November 1985. The amount has increased manifold as the LIT charges 18 per cent annual interest on dues. The three beneficiary schools located in BRS Nagar owe around Rs 12.15 lakh by way of enhancement of Rs 22 per square yard that was demanded in December 2012. Officials of the Trust claimed that demand notices were served on the schools, but despite several reminders, the enhanced cost of land had not been deposited to date.

Due to the callous attitude of the MC, some NGOs and social organisations have also been holding protest outside MC Commissioner's official residence. One such organisation held a 'matka phod' protest outside MC Commissioner Rakesh Kumar Verma's residence today.

However, senior MC officials felt that the safety grills should be installed at the accident-prone site only. Later, another proposal regarding installation of grills on a 250m stretch was prepared.

Gold price continues to fluctuate
Ludhiana, April 16 Jewellers were relieved after the gold prices began recovering marginally. "Customers should not panic as the gold prices will normalise in a short while. Selling pressure has led to downfall in the prices. People who were waiting for the prices to go down further today came out of their houses to buy gold as the price rose marginally," said Anand Sikri, president of the Ludhiana Jewellers Association."While some are waiting for the prices to come down further others are taking the plunge and buying gold. Gold is a part of our culture so people think it is wise to buy when the prices go down. Many customers came today to buy even as the prices continued to fluctuate," added Mala Dhanda, another jeweller form the city. The main reason for gold's short-term fall in prices is the rise of dollar due to the economic crisis in Europe. The dollar has also moved up on the hopes that the US economy is recovering from its crises, which could nudge the Federal Reserve to withdraw the stimulus package earlier than expected. Some investors were seen shifting money from safe havens like gold to riskier assets like stocks. "It does not mean you should dump gold from your portfolio. It is too early to do so. One should be careful because the metal is trading close to its long-term support levels," added Harman Ahuja, a broker.

procurement season
Mandi Ahmedgarh/Payal, April 16 Commission agents also feel sandwiched between producers and officials of procurement agencies. While the farmers pressurise them to 'manage' immediate procurement and lifting, the officials threaten to initiate action against them in case the producers are allowed to dump moisture-laden heaps in the yards. Acknowledging the gravity of the situation, Vidhan Sabha Speaker and Payal MLA Charanjit Singh Atwal said he had advised the authorities in various procurement agencies to realise problems of the peasants and get the needful done for drying the produce if brought in markets with reasonably higher content of moisture. At the same time he stressed on sensitisation of farmers against harvesting unripe crops. Farmers led by Baldev Singh Latala and Sikandar Singh Jartauli, general secretary and vice-president of the Punjab Kisan Sabha, regretted that the officials of the market committees had failed to impress upon the commission agents to make necessary arrangements for protecting heaps of wheat from adversaries of weather. Situation is worse in those markets and purchase centres where the produce has been dumped on kutcha ground in the open. Latala and Jartauli urged the authorities to impress upon the commission agents to arrange sufficient number of good quality PVC sheets to cover heaps in case of showers. District Food Controller Sona Thind, AFSO Narinder Singh and Payal SDM Mohinder Singh assured Atwal that every effort would be made to purchase and lift produce brought by farmers in a liberalised manner.

corruption at government offices
Ludhiana, April 16 "Following a number of complaints, we have pasted the number at all the sub-registrar offices to curb corruption," said SSP (Vigilance) Satinder Pal Singh. When asked if the department had received any complaint in the past one week, the SSP said to date no complaint had been filed by anyone. "Our motive is to make the public aware that they can contact us if officials or staff demand money from them and their identity will be kept secret," said the SSP. But the recent raids at the sub-registrar office (West) has certainly jolted both the officials and staff. "Tehsildars/naib-tehsildars/staff are all scared after the raids. Most of the work is done in the first half of the day at sub-registrar office (West)," said a tehsildar. Rampant corruption in the sub-registrar offices refuses to die down. Yesterday, a person was "thrashed" by a few youngsters at the 'behest' of a patwari at Transport Nagar as the former refused to grease the palms of the staff for getting a simple farad. But no departmental action has been taken against the accused. Naib tehsildar joins office
Naib tehsildar Harminder Sidhu, whose name was taken by an accused in a corruption case during the recent raids by the Vigilance Department on the sub-registrar office (West), joined the office on Monday. Neither the Revenue Department nor the Vigilance Department has initiated any enquiry against Sidhu due to his "well-established political links". SSP (Vigilance) Satinder Pal Singh Sidhu said the department was recording the statements of the staff and as and when required Sidhu would be called for
questioning. Deputy Commissioner Rahul Tiwari said that department would take any action only when the Vigilance Department would write about it. "The case is with the Vigilance Department and it is investigating it," said
Tiwari.

MC puts off demolition drive
Ludhiana, April 16 The drive was postponed as the MC officials claimed that they did not get the required number of
police personnel for assisting them in the drive. For the removal of encroachments, the MC had prepared an action plan under which all encroachments would be removed from the city in a phased manner. The action plan was prepared following the directions of the Punjab and Haryana High Court. But after the February 26 drive, the civic body has been putting off the drives for one reason or the other. In Industrial Area and Textile Colony, the MC had to remove a total of 406 encroachments. As the MC was not able to carry out the drive on April 9 and 12, the authorities decided to clear the encroachments yesterday. When the MC had planned the drive on April 10, it had demanded 300 police personnel, including policewomen. But yesterday, they got 110 policemen. MC Additional Commissioner Isha Kalia
confirmed that the drive had to be postponed due to inadequate police force. "The police department told us that most of the personnel were on Navratra duty. But this does not mean that we have cancelled the drive," she said. Drives that could not be carried out
Demolition drives this month
