Row over Aggar Nagar gate
Ludhiana, June 3 According to information, ever since Aggar Nagar came into being, this gate has been there. This gate is being used by the residents of residential colonies such as Raghunath Enclave, Asha Puri, Parkash Colony, Madhuban Enclave, New Asha Puri, Shant Park and Professor Colony. With the crime rate rising in the area, the residents of Aggar Nagar, Block A, decided to close this gate permanently. This decision didn’t go down well with the residents of the adjoining colonies. They felt that if this particular gate was closed permanently, they had no other option but to take a longer route for reaching Ferozepur Road. They objected to this decision and met SDM Kuljit Pal Singh Mahi. The SDM ordered the opening of this gate, which the Aggar Nagar residents accepted. Raja Singh Gill, president of the New Asha Puri Welfare Association, said even though this gate was opened, the residents put stones on the road on the pretext of carrying out some construction. “It became very difficult for residents to drive on this road. The Aggar Nagar residents had even dug up the road at certain points, which was got repaired on the SDM’s orders,” he said. When some women of the area tried to make way by clearing the stones, the Aggar Nagar residents objected to it. This led to heated arguments among them and the police was informed. It reached the spot and tried to defuse tension. Amrit Lal Aggarwal, president of the Aggar Nagar society, claimed that the land where Aggar Nagar had been developed was purchased by the society members. “It's our road and our gate. Following some incidents of car theft and snatching, besides a child getting injured due to heavy traffic on the road, our society members decided to close this gate permanently. When we received the SDM’s orders, we opened the gate. But, when we were carrying out some construction activity on the road, some persons reached there and started loading the material on a tractor-trailer. When we objected to it, they attacked us and one person was injured.” The PAU police station personnel said: “We are having a meeting with the area residents. A Tehsildar has also been sent by the SDM so that we can reach some solution”. The SDM, Kuljit Pal Singh Mahi, said the road had been been used by the local residents ever since Aggar Nagar came into being. “No person can close a public street and we will also not allow anyone to take law into his hands,” he said.

Deceased suffered from rare psychiatric disorder
Mohit Khanna Tribune news Service
Ludhiana, June 3 Raju's father, Shankar Mahto told the police about his son's psychiatric disorder. He said Raju, who was under medication, used to walk in sleep and cover distances of several kilometres. On the day of incident, Raju, after taking dinner, went to sleep. Shankar Mahto, who runs a nursery, reportedly told the police that he had no clue as to when his son left the house and covered a distance of nearly 10km from his house in the Sunil Park area in Haibowal to the shopping mall site located at Session Chowk. Raju walked on 500 steps of the stairs at the mall to reach the 10th floor of the building. The police suspects Raju died as his had a slip while walking on the 10th floor. Jaswinder Singh, additional SHO of Division No. 8 police station, said: "I spoke to his father, Shankar Mahto, after the incident and was shocked to learn about the youth's ailment. Shankar told me that his son had left the house several times in the past, but every time he used to bring him back. This time he went far away and died after falling of a building." Initially, Shankar used to think that his son was possessed by an evil spirit. He took his son to several 'tantriks', but in vain. It was a few days ago that Shankar came to know that Raju was suffering from an ailment, and began his treatment. However, investigation into Raju’s death has left many questions unanswered. How Raju entered the mall and went up to the 10th floor without being noticed? According to the investigating officer, four guards of a security agency keep a record of workers working at the site and every worker wears a fluorescent jacket and helmet before entering the mall, then how could Raju manage to sneak into the premises. When the incident took place several labourers were working inside the building. Strangely, none of them noticed Raju. What is 'fugue state'
We call it a 'fugue state'. It is a rare psychiatric disorder, in which the person leaves the house in a dreamlike state of altered consciousness that may last for hours or days. The person suffering from this psychiatric disorder goes into the amnesia kind of situation where they cannot recall the course of
events. — Rajiv Gupta, Consultant Psychiatrist |

PAU employees meet DC
Representatives of the PAU Employees Union met the Deputy Commissioner-cum-Election Officer Rahul Tewari and demanded that appropriate help be provided to the family of an employee of PAU who had died during poll duty.

A meeting of All-India Traders Party was held here on Monday under the chairmanship of Bharat Bhushan Sood. Speaking on the occasion, Sood said it seems both the central government and state government are against the interest of the trade and industry. Heavy taxation on the industry is making it very difficult to move further and seems things are
only going to become worse in the coming times. "Seems that government will also impose tax on breathing fresh air,” he said. Scheme criticised
People's Awareness Forum, a NGO, criticised the advance consumption deposit scheme of Punjab Power Corporation Limited. The forum resolved to give memorandum to Power Regulatory Commission to stop collection of this deposit because it is against the code of supply.

Textile industry resents no subsidy on reconditioned machines
Ludhiana, June 3 "Industry is facing acute shortage of skilled labour as labour from outside Punjab is not coming due to the state due to various central government schemes like NAREGA which has forced them to remain at their native places. In the present
scenario, upgradation of units with modern machines is more relevant today to maintain the
time schedule of suppliers. But the industrialists have to face undue delay in getting the subsidy on new machines due to the negligence of the banks," said Darshan Dawar, president of Knitwear Club. The delegation of knitwear club has also met Sunaina Tomar, joint
secretary, Ministry of Textiles in this regard. The delegation discussed the problems arising from the scheme TUFS as the government has withdrawn subsidy from reconditioned machines, due to which the textile industry is badly affected. The delegation requested to revive the same scheme on reconditioned machines. Also from the allotted funds for TUFS, minimum 50 per cent should be
kept reserved for the SME sector as the bigger and organised units take maximum benefit out of it and till
the time SME's get ready after documentation, funds for them lapse, said Narinder Miglani, general secretary. Further, Dawar said, “Labour shortage is becoming a major factor before us. To tackle this problem, we are left with no other option but to depend upon machines. Imported machines are more equipped and thus we import reconditioned machinery from countries like France, Germany and Taiwan. Things have become difficult after the government withdrew subsidy from reconditioned machines. The withdrawal should be taken back as things are becoming really difficult for the industry to survive."

Colourful gear catches residents’ fancy
Ludhiana, June 3 Fashion sensibilities and tastes have almost changed upside down within a of couple of years, as jeans, shoes, purses, bets and clothes all have entered the new era 'dyed' in colour. City residents no longer shy away from wearing colours that jump out at you. Red trousers, yellow shoes that perhaps would have invited sniggers and frowns from onlookers till two years ago, now draw admiration and fan-following from the young brigade. Fashion and use of colour, although weighed towards feminine tastes, but fashion-equation now has turned 'even' as men also go gaga over brightly
coloured-shoes and jeans. "I wouldn't be caught dead wearing yellow red shoes till a few months ago, but I myself have got a new bright red pair," smiles
Rohit. "You'd notice that many colourful accessories in the market are unisex. Even pink is no longer considered 'women-only' colour," he adds. Most of the fashion brands are also jumping on the colour-bandwagon. "Bright colours are there the next few seasons too, according to fashion forecasts. So most of the fashion brands, both international and indigenous, have pronounced usage of colours in their new collections," says
Anshul, from a hosiery brand. Fashion is cyclical and the modern colourful times take inspiration from old decades. "If you look at the movies of 70's, you would find a riot of colour in the dresses, and it has come again and it is not here to stay," says Kulkiran Kaur, a fashion faculty member at the
INIFD. But some of the youngsters want new trends to leave the legacy of colour. "I used to get fed up at the sight of blue jeans and black-brown shoes. It was as if people lacked ingenuity to wear other colours till some years ago. Whenever, I wore any bright
colours, I only used to grab rude eyeballs," says Prakriti, pursuing graduation. "But thankfully, fashion community has woken up to other colours in the spectrum. I just hope that the new fashion trends retain some respect for colour, so that colourful dresses we see around in the city keeping bringing the cheer," she smiles.

Dusty weather plays havoc with eyes, respiratory system, say experts
Ludhiana, June 3 Dr Anurit Gill, senior consultant in medicine department of SPS Apollo Hospital, said, "Patients with nasal allergies, asthma etc face difficult time in such weather. Their problems get aggravated manifolds. The only precaution they should take while travelling or going out is to cover their nose and mouth with a piece of cloth and should consult a doctor in case their respiratory problem aggravates." Proper diet can be of great help for such patients. Dr AK Handa, Senior Medical Officer, Community Health Centre, Mandi Ahmedgarh, said, "We are receiving more patients with respiratory allergies these days. People should avoid going out in dusty weather and should take healthy diet including more fruits and vegetables. They should avoid fried and heavy diet." Not only respiratory problems but eyes also get affected with the dust storm. An eye specialist, Dr Ramesh, said, "Patients with minor infections keep coming almost daily. Dusty winds cause irritation in eyes. Sometimes, to get relief, patients use eye drops at their own, which also damages eyes. It is advised that one should consult an eye-specialist in case irritation persists due to dust particles and avoid self-medication."

Illegal construction goes unchecked
Ludhiana, June 3 Several shops and other commercial establishments have come up on the 60 feet main road of Bhai Randhir Singh Nagar, which is a residential area as per the MC records. But due to 'hesitant' approach of the building branch, the particular road has turned into a hub of illegal establishments. Even now, two to three buildings are being constructed on the road. The issue was highlighted in these columns recently. An area resident said, "The need for verification arises when the construction is not going on as per the building bylaws. But in this case, a commercial complex is being constructed in a residential area and that too where the MC cannot pass the building plan as 'commercial'. We have come to know that the owner has got the building plan approved as 'residential'." Sources in the MC said a majority of shops on the particular road had building plans sanctioned as 'residential'. "But if commercial complexes have come up, it cannot be possible without the
permission of building branch officials," said the resident. Mayor Harcharan Singh Gohalwaria said, "MC Additional Commissioner Isha Kalia, who also heads the building branch, has been asked to get the illegal structures demolished and submit a report by tomorrow evening."
