Local politicians have their way
Ludhiana, April 23 The local residents, shopkeepers and "rehri" owners held a protest against the MC team. They forcibly took away five confiscated "rehris". The protesters were led by area councillor Inder Aggarwal and later BJP district president Parveen Bansal joined them. According to information, the Tehbazari wing officials had gone to the Shingar Cinema area to clear the road of illegal "rehris". The officials claimed that the drive was planned following a complaint by a resident. When the officials started confiscating "rehris", their owners objected to the drive, claiming that these were parked on the footpath and were in now way slowing the flow of traffic. However, the officials continued with the drive. When area councillor Inder Aggarwal came to know about the drive, he rushed to the spot and asked the officials to leave the area. The MC Tehbazari Superintendent, Rajeev Bharadwaj, said he had gone to the area to clear the cinema road of encroachments following a complaint. "We were not allowed to confiscate 'rehris' as Parveen Bansal and Inder Aggarwal resisted the drive. Bansal stated that he will speak to the MC Commissioner about it, so we came back," he claimed. Speaking to The Tribune, Inder Aggarwal claimed that earlier the ‘rehris’ used to block the flow of traffic. "I persuaded the ‘rehri’ owners to shift to the footpaths. It's sad that the MC officials confiscated the ‘rehris’, which were parked in a corner. I wonder why the Tehbazari officials fail to notice the ‘rehris’ parked outside the Zone A office, at Field Ganj, Saban Bazar, Chaura Bazar and other such areas. It's almost every fortnight that these ‘rehris’are confiscated," he claimed. Aggarwal stated if the MC wanted to clear the road of encroachments, they should first take action against the government offices and banks in the area. "Several vehicles remain parked on the Shingar Cinema Road outside these banks, but the Tehbazaari wing has never confiscated them. The MC should, in fact, provide a piece of land to these 'rehri' owners," he added.

transfer jitters
However, they feel they will be transferred anytime as the Lok Sabha elections-2014 are likely to be announced anytime. According to the Election Commission, the officials, who have been posted in a district for the last three years, have to be shifted in any case. In almost all the departments, the issue of transfers is extensively discussed among officials. "Thankfully, we will not be transferred till May 31. But for how long can we escape from transfers? My transfer is long due and it will be notified anytime after May 31," said one of the top officials here. Another senior PCS official said she was mentally prepared as her transfer was on the cards. "Since my children are studying here, I wish I was posted nearby. The government has the right to shift us anywhere and we must not complain," she added. "Of course, it is not easy to adjust to a new environment but there is no other option. We all have to abide by the rules". An official in the Excise Department here said he was granted a "grace" extension by the government. "Ludhiana, which is a happening town, attracts officials. I have told my wife and children to be ready to leave the city anytime. Both my children like the city very much and they feel bad when the issue of transfer is discussed. But, you can not escape it," he said, adding that many officials had "sources" in Chandigarh, who provide them information about any changes being carried out by the government. Being an industrial hub and one of the biggest districts of Punjab, transfer to Ludhiana is considered as a "plum-posting". And most of the officials feel bad when they are posted to small districts.

While I play in the park or when I go to my friend's place, she sends my elder brother with me now," said the student. A teacher at Sacred Heart School said while she was taking her English class today, a few girl students asked her if Delhi was a "deadly" place. "I asked them why they were asking such a question.
