Ludhiana, May 23 The overall slowdown and recession in the realty sector notwithstanding, the commercial site, measuring one acre and located adjacent to West End Mall on the national highway, was purchased by a local developer, ADS Buildwell, through a public auction at the rate of Rs 1.04 lakh per sq yard as against its floor price of Rs 99,501 per sq yard. Five bidders, each of them having paid an eligibility fee of Rs 48,15,848, took part in the auction conducted by GLADA Estate Officer RK Popli and Additional Chief Administrator Baldev Singh. Against the reserve price of Rs 48,15,84,840 for the site (a corner plot), the successful bidder made an offer of Rs 50,33,60,000 to clinch the deal. The site is meant for commercial use with a floor area ratio of 1:3, land coverage at 40 per cent with unrestricted height subject to clearance by the Indian Air Force authorities.

CM gives nod to canal water project for city residents
Ludhiana, May 23 MC Commissioner RK Verma, who along with Mayor Harcharan Singh Gohalwaria, attended a meeting convened by Badal in Chandigarh today, said the pre-feasibility report of the project to augment the urban water supply in cities of Ludhiana and Amritsar was prepared by experts of the Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee. The project was also discussed both in the Finance and Contracts (F&CC) Committee of the MC and in a meeting chaired by Maj Gen VK Bhat, head of the Technical Advisory Group under the Punjab Urban Development Mission. According to Verma, the proposal, after being cleared by the CM's office, will be forwarded to the Centre for seeking funds from World Bank rather than executing the project under the Jawaharlal Nerhru Urban Renewal Mission, which could provide funds to the extent of only 50 per cent of the total cost of the project. "If World Bank approves the project, the funding will be 100 per cent." At present, the total water supply in the city is through underground water and nearly 850 tube wells and submersible pumps are used for this purpose. Verma told Ludhiana Tribune that the canal-based water supply project for the city would involve a total expenditure of around Rs 900 crore. As per the pre-feasibility report prepared by the IIT, Roorkee, the canal water will be brought to the city through a 22-km-long underground pipeline. Verma said, "We have received a positive response from the government and hopefully World Bank will also give its nod to the project," he said.

Rly passengers go thirsty
Ludhiana, May 23
The railway station authorities have failed to provide basic facilities facilities like cold water to visitors who have to spend some time at the railway station before boarding trains. With a rise in the mercury level, the old problems have started emerging here. Owing to frequent power cuts and intense heat, water tanks mostly remain empty. As many as 12 water coolers have been installed on different platforms, yet passengers are forced to drink hot water from the ordinary taps. Some times due to power cuts and some times due to unscrupulous vendors, who intentionally switch off the power coolers to boost the sales of packaged water at the railway station. Moreover, the coolers are inadequate to meet the heavy rush of passengers at the station. There are four water coolers at platform number 1 while four are shared by passengers of platform number 2 and 3. One water cooler each has been installed at platforms number 4, 5, 6 and 7. Ironically, these water coolers do not dispense cold water. According to the railway officials, the station remains crowded in the summers. The water coolers are not able to provide chilled water throughout the day amid such a heavy rush of passengers. Ravinder Sharma, Station Superintendent, said: "We found that some miscreants switch off the water coolers. So, the passengers have to buy packaged water from vendors. They have their financial interests. We are going to be strict against such vendors. He appealed to the social workers and NGOs of the city to set up more water coolers at the platforms in the public interest.

MC employees fail to get cold water in own office
Ludhiana, May 23 Hundreds of city residents visiting the MC office for different purposes, as well as the staff members of the MC have been left to fend for themselves in the absence of adequate arrangements for drinking water at every floor of the building, in such extreme heat wave conditions. Parminder Mehta, spokesperson for the Congress councillors, alleged that the water coolers installed at one or two places in the MC office were either non-functional or dispense normal water, which was almost at boiling temperature with the mercury soaring between 45 to 47 degrees. He said the MC employees had submitted a complaint to the MC authorities about inadequate water coolers and dispensers at the office about a month ago, but no action has been taken in this regard so far. Suraj Bhan Bakshi, a senior citizen, who visited the MC office for making an inquiry about his house tax arrears, said he had been shuttling between different offices of the civic body for more than three hours. "I have all along been looking for cold drinking water, which is not available anywhere in the office. A non-functional water cooler dispensed boiling water," he said. City Mayor Harcharan Singh Gohalwaria said the problem of scarcity of drinking water in the MC office had been brought to his notice only today. “I have issued orders for the immediate installation of water coolers and RO systems on each floor of the MC office and these should become operational in the next two or three days."

Shivani Bhakoo Tribune News Service
Ludhiana, May 23 The Additional Civil Judge has further directed the Civil Surgeon to seal the samples with the seal of the board of doctors and take every precaution to preserve them. The samples will be tested at a laboratory in Hyderabad. The Civil Surgeon has also been asked to send the samples to the laboratory at the plaintiff's expense to determine the fact whether Charanjit Singh's DNA matches with that of Kushaljit Singh Bindra and Lovejit Singh Bindra. The orders were issued on May 22. Meanwhile, Bhupinder Kaur, the woman who claims that both her sons were fathered by Charanjit Singh, today alleged that the court had earlier issued orders on May 13 to get the DNA samples but the authorities were dilly-dallying on the collection of samples. "The orders were issued on May 13 and I don't know why the samples are not being taken by the Civil Surgeon. The court has given one month's time and after a few days, the court will be closed on account of holidays. Charanjit Singh' brother and sisters have been trying hard that the DNA samples are not taken so that they can get more time to appeal further. My children need to be given their father's name and I will fight for their rights," said Bhupinder Kaur, the complainant. Amarjit Singh Tikka, Charanjit Singh's brother, however, said he had nothing to do in the matter. The court had issued directions to get the DNA samples tested. We can not deny that. Besides, Charanjit Singh is also improving. Bhupinder Kaur had alleged that her "in-laws" were harassing her and were not letting her meet her "husband" Charanjit Singh, who has been admitted to the ICU, DMCH. what the Civil Surgeon says

He has passion for machines
Ludhiana, May 23 He came to the PAU and met the Vice-Chancellor a few days ago. He claimed before the VC and experts that he could manufacture a machine, which could harvest one acre of land in just three hours. Vice-Chancellor, Baldev Singh Dhillon, gave him a chance to manufacture such a machine. “My objective, to innovate the machine, is to reduce human efforts in the agriculture. Those machines, which run on fuel or power, prove costly and are not eco-friendly. Poor agriculturists can’t afford to buy them. Hence, they have to work hard in the fields,” said Sujeet. Sujeet has a different story of love with the machines. He wanted to get admission in any of the prominent IITs’ of the country. But due to less marks in Class X and following the wish of his parents, he failed to achieve his goal. “Motors, machines, force, energy were in my practices, when I was in Class IX,” he said. His parents wanted to see him as a “lawyer”, so Sujeet took up the LLB course in Darjeeling. Due to lack of interest in law, he spent years to become a graduate. As per his parents’ wish, he got admission in the LLM but he left it soon after. “I decided to go with my dream. There was an exhibition of innovative machinery at the IIT, Kanpur. I had to struggle a lot to enter the venue. Organisers gave a challenging task to all the participants. The machine, which I had made, got first position. That was the unbelievable moment for me. Then, I got a good chance at the IIT, Mumbai. I have innovated machine for the convenience of farmers. It was highly appreciated. So, I got its patent on my name. I have some bad experiences with NGOs also,” said Sujeet. “I came here at the PAU to demonstrate my machine. But the PAU Vice-Chancellor, Baldev Singh Dhillon, supported me. With their finical assistance, I have upgraded my model. I want to name this machine with a word ‘Punjab’,” he added. When asked whether he was inspired by any movie, he said: “I am not inspired by any movie. But one can make a movie from my life story,” said Sujeet.

Power cuts expose govt claims
Jagraon, May 23 Besides, the regular power cuts have also exposed the tall claims of the state government which had been claiming of making Punjab a power surplus state so far. As the level of mercury has been rising continuously, the number of scheduled and unscheduled power cuts being imposed in Jagraon area have also increased. These prolonged power cuts are taking a heavy toll on the local residents. During the first three days of this week, the local residents had to face power cuts of more than 24 hours. "The estimate of a cut can be judged from the refrigerators which have failed to freeze the water due to power cuts. We have to rush different corners of the town to purchase ice for cold drinking water," says Rajesh Kumar Rana, a resident of the local College Road. The local residents faced a power cut of around 12 hours yesterday from 9 am to 9 pm. The power cuts have also increased the sale of diesel since it is used by the shopkeepers for running their generator sets. The local petrol pump operators admits that there has been quirt rise in the consumption of diesel due to regular power cuts. Similar is the condition of rural areas surrounding Jagraon. Residents say that they have to face a power cut of at least seven hours everyday. The power cuts have further increased the problems of public already boiling at a temperature of around 45 degree Celsius. Punjab State Power Corporation Limited Jagraon SDO, Ravi Singh, said the power supply was kept shut for a long time yesterday as the employees were busy installing a new transformer to provide better power supply to the consumers. "Besides, the difference between consumption and supply of the electricity has been increasing further due to the hot weather which ultimately affects the supply. But we are trying our best to supply maximum power supply to the people," he added.

Women lead in organ donation: Experts
Ludhiana, May 23 Today, doctors invited all the kidney patients and organ donors to motivate the masses to donate organs. An interactive session with the doctors and dieticians was also organised for the patients. Many couples were present there, in which the wives donated their organs. "We do not have any specific data. But it has been observed that around 70 per cent women donate kidneys and to save their male relatives. But no husband came forward in last year," said Dr Bakshish Singh, consultant, Department of Nephrology and Transplant, SPS Apollo Hospital, Ludhiana. "Not only in relation of husband and wife but mothers also donated organs to their sons and sisters to their brothers. But it is rare when a brother donated organ to his sister," he added. Dr Vikas Kumar at SPS Apollo Hospital said, "I agree that males also come forward but very few but there are some material conditions. In our male dominating society, usually male members earn the livelihood for all the family members, so it is connected with survival also." Increasing organ transplant cases Doctors expressed their worry about the less number of donors, who come forward to donate their organs in India. Dr Rahul Kohli said, "The statistics portray an alarming need for organ transplantation in India. At present, of the 1.5 lakh new patients, who suffer from end-stage renal failure annually, only 3,500 get kidney transplants and 6,000 undergo dialysis. "The kidney and other organs can be utilised within 48 hours of brain dead case. In foreign countries, they meet the requirement of human organ by developing a system. Accidental deaths help a lot to provide organs to needy people. India should also develop such system," said Dr Bakshish Singh. "The organ of a deceased, who died due to brain dead, can be utilised. But here, we do not have any system to the organs of deceased persons," he added. Govt aid elusive * Doctors said diabetes, hypertension and kidney stones due to changing lifestyle are the major cause of kidney failure. Ironically, a huge number of youngsters are also in the trap of kidney problems. After spending Rs 15 to 20 lakh on dialysis and transplanting kidneys, poor parents worried about marriages and employment. * Jagseer Singh (25) from district Muktsar, transplanted his kidney soon after completing his degree of BCA. His mother, Karamjit Kaur, donated her kidney to him. In the past three years, his father, who owned five acers of land, spent Rs 16 lakh to cure his son. Now, the debt-ridden father is worried how he will clear his debt, when his son is also physically enervated. * Same is the case of 24-year-old girl from Khanna, who returned from New Zealand after detecting the kidney problem. Her father spent Rs 18 lakh to transplant her kidney. Now, he is worried about his daughter’s marriage." Ironically, there is no government aid or any support system for such cases.

Fire at printing press
Jagraon, May 23 Sources said the fire broke out at 10:45 pm. It was first noticed when a resident, living nearby the godown, spotted the flames rising from the godown. He, immediately, raised an alarm and woke up the residents of the locality following which,
a large number of people gathered on the spot and started dousing the fire. Since the fire had not spread much, the local residents managed to douse the fire by
themselves by pouring water over it with buckets. When the fire was finally doused, the residents entered the godown and found a motorcycle was completely destroyed while many papers were reduced to ashes. The exact reason behind the fire could not be ascertained yet. But it is believed that the fire broke out in a generator set that was running after a power cut. The police has started the investigation to find out the cause behind the fire incident. It is pertinent to mention here that this is a second fire incident in Jagraon in the past five days. Earlier, goods worth several lakhs of rupees were destroyed in a fire that broke out in a multi-story departmental store near Rani Jhansi Chowk, Jagraon.

Learning through actions, they even ‘beat’ normal kids
Ludhiana, May 23 Their steps on the song "Waka Waka it is time for South Africa" (Official 2010 FIFA World Cup album) proved that they have no parallels in synchronisation when it comes to dancing skills. Children of Deaf and Dumb School have no parallel in synchronisation when it comes to dancing kills. The team work was so strong that during each short break, each one of the special children was trying to make his partner learn the right dancing action. Commenting on this their trainer, Happy Singh, said, "They are no less than budding choreographers. Each one is disciplined in his own way. I love to teach these children dance every year for free and in lieu of this I get their love and affection." During the interval, an LKG student, Sukhjeet, was making a class third student Roshan learn as how to do hip-hop. While Amana nd Roshan were practising their feet for a folk dance. Besides their hobby class, they were also attending to all the visitors with gestures of folded hands. Unable to speak and listen, perhaps they are better human beings, who understand each other’s emotions. When one of the students could not tell her name, another Pallavi wrote her name on the paper," She is Arushi" and again the duo became busy in practising. Greeting the children of different age groups who were busy in learning Jazz, Jamba, classical dance etc Parmod Dada general secretary of the school said, "It is very nice to see that their confidence level is getting enhanced day after day."

Medical practitioners make their presence felt
Mahesh Sharma
Mandi Ahmedgarh, May 23 Prompt and economical availability of the medical facilities at the odd hours was cited as major factor behind their following. Acknowledging the trend, a large number of elderly voters from nearby areas of the region said they had voted in favour of candidates recommended by the medical practitioners who had emerged as their family doctor during past years. "As we are not associated or related to any of the political parties or the candidates, we preferred to cast our votes in favour of candidates recommended by our family doctor who is a registered medical practitioner," said Gurmel Singh of Dehlon arguing that all members of his clan were united on the issue as the practitioner had been indispensable for the family for obvious reason of frequent need of medical services. Further, investigations revealed that some practitioners had also succeeded in winning block samiti seat for them or their spouse, while others lost by narrow margin. Dr Dev Krishan of Jogi Majra, who contested the election on Congress ticket, bagged Sohian block samiti seat. At Jhuner, it was contest between two practitioners wherein Dr Jagtar Singh Jaggie won on SAD symbol. Similarly, Dr Avtar Singh harnessed support for his victorious wife Kulwinder Kaur. Dr Uttam's wife Rani Kaur however lost by narrow margin of 16 votes.
