Jubilation time for toppers of Class X CBSE exams in city
Jalandhar, May 30 Gurnoor Singh of MGN Public School, who has been a topper throughout, said, "It is God's blessing and the credit for making me do good goes to my parents and teachers, who always stood by me." Gurnoor, whose father Jaswinder Singh is a property dealer and mother Simerjeet Kaur a housewife, said he had been topping before as well but says Class X results were special. While he plans to pursue studies in the medical stream, he is savouring a moment of freedom before the pressure of studies hits hard yet again. Gurnoor and his bunch of five friends had a field day after the declaration of results today. After celebrating and cheering at school, the friends went touring on streets outside his school. At home, relatives come pouring in to congratulate the family till late evening. Vidushi Gupta of Apeejay
School was also at her chirpy best after the results were declared today. Securing 10 CGPA, she and her friends had a lot of fun at school and after school she was busy attending calls. "It feels great," she said. "I have been on phone all day, the congratulatory calls just don't stop. The hard work pays and this is just the moment," she said. Also a hard-boiled topper, she has also wooed teachers with her sterling performance in academics and her leadership skills. Vice head girl in Class V, she was also noted for her scientific skills, which took her to a school trip to NASA, organised by the National Space Society. Attributing her success to her parents, who never denied her the comforts that she needed as a student, she quipped, "My name also means intelligent." Being in the non-medical stream, she now plans to aim for the IIT. |

MCs told to prohibit use of potable water for construction purposes
Jalandhar, May 30 The department has decided to allow the use of borewells and tubewells in the municipal areas in the state only for the purpose of drinking and domestic use. Director, Local Bodies, Priyank Bharti said, "From now on, only alternative sources such as surface water sources or treated water from nearby sewage treatment plant can be used for construction purpose." Passing orders to the Commissioners of nine cities - Amritsar, Jalandhar, Ludhiana, Patiala, Bathinda, Mohali, Moga, Phagwara and Pathankot - and Regional Deputy Directors of Amritsar, Jalandhar, Ludhiana, Patiala, Bathinda and Ferozepur, the Director, Local Bodies, has asked them to even submit monthly report on the enforcement of the directive to their respective Deputy Commissioners, who are authorised officers for the purpose. The authorities of civic bodies have even been asked to incorporate a condition of not using underground water for the construction in the allotment letters, building plan approval letters, permits issued by the Improvement Trusts and MCs to applicants intending to raise construction of any use falling in the areas notified by the Central Ground Water Authority (CGWA). The matter pertains to a civil writ petition filed by HC Arora against the state of Punjab on which the orders were passed last month. The orders read, "PUDA and state authorities are directed to place on record as to what conditions are imposed on the builders to use recycled water for the purpose of construction and what is the procedure adopted to monitor the same. In all the cases, where licences have been granted to the builders, the PUDA shall find out making physical verification whether any borewell has been established and how much water is being extracted. The builders can be asked to put water meters on those borewells as per the directions issued by the CGWA so as to ensure the quantity of water extracted. The water can be extracted only for the purpose of drinking and not for construction." Since the orders have been passed to this effect last week, the builders are yet to get a copy of the same. When asked about the same, Amardeep Samra, a realtor, appreciated the move, "Depletion of groundwater is a big concern, I welcome the idea. The only difficult part will be that the cost of construction will go up as the treatment plants will be far off from most locations." Anil Chopra, a coloniser, however, seemed a bit critical and said: "If such an order is to be passed, the civic bodies must ensure that there are pipelines of recycled water available across the city." |

Laboratory, machines of infertility centre sealed
Jalandhar, May 30 The ongoing dispute between three partners - Varish Kumar (non-medico), Dr BS Johal and Dr Jasleen Kaur (medico)- finally came to fore with the medico directors withdrawing their registration from the centre. The centre was a joint venture of Varish (50 per cent share), Dr Johal and Dr Jasleen, with 25 per cent share each. While Varish Kumar claimed that the machines were sealed by the Health Department on his request to avoid their misuse after two doctors put in their papers, Dr Johal claimed that they had snapped ties from Kumar as he was already under police scanner and had some criminal cases pending against him in different courts. “We have started our own IFV centre in New Jawahar Nagar,” Dr Johal claimed. Two days ago, two doctors -Dr Jasleen Kaur and Dr Monika Bhatia- snapped their ties from the centre and approached the district health authorities for returning their documents- licences and registration for operate ultrasound machines - they had deposited in the department, sources revealed. On their request, Dr RL Bassan, civil surgeon, constituted a team of doctors, that visited the centre and sealed the machines as there was no other doctor having license and registration to operate them, sources in the Health Department disclosed. Dr Bassan revealed that the scanning machines of Vardaan Infertility and Medical Research Centre - were sealed to prevent their misuse on the request of the centre management.
