School bus operators end strike
Ludhiana, July 18 Deputy Commissioner Rahul Tiwari said the school managements should support the van operators. The school bus operators were on strike since July 10 as the District Transport Office had impounded buses of a leading school that were running without valid
documents. Lambasting the school managements for not taking the responsibility of students’ safety, the DC said: “Don’t test my patience. You have to take the responsibility of students and sign an agreement to provide permits to the school vans. The students are your responsibility. I had to chip in as you have failed to find any solution to the ongoing problem.” The DC and District Transport Officer Anil Garg had called an emergency meeting with the school managements at Bachat Bhawan this evening to end the impasse. He said the next date of hearing of the case regarding the safety of schoolchildren was scheduled for August 1. “The Punjab and Haryana High Court has issued directions that the DTO cannot issue permits to school vans. We cannot issue licence to outdated school buses. The school managements need to share the responsibility,” said the DC. The DC said some schools had signed the agreement with the DTO to ensure the safety of students. “The schools that are not serious about the safety of students will not be spared. I get around 200 messages from parents daily who are facing tough time in dropping and picking up their wards. Strict action will be taken against schools that fail to sign the agreement with the DTO within two days,” said Tiwari, adding that he was not bothered about the protest by the school managements. Schools to face action
The DC said the managements of schools would be given two days’ time to sign the agreement prepared by the DTO. “If they fail to sign the document, we will write to the CBSE to disaffiliate the schools besides taking legal action,” he said. Camp at BCM School
The DTO organised a camp at BCM School, Shastri Nagar, to check documents and provide permits to school vans. About 150 bus operators were allowed to ply their vehicles. DTO Anil Garg said the office was ready to hold such camps in other schools. “We are here for the safety of schoolchildren,” said
Garg. Congress flays DTO
Pawan Dewan, president of the District Congress Committee, flayed the district administration and the Transport Department for ‘harassing’ the school bus operators. He said the authorities had failed to end the impasse for their vested
interests

Auction of parking sites on Ferozepur Road called off
Ludhiana, July 18 The MC had earlier conducted the auction for 13 sites identified for paid parking following the orders of the Punjab and Haryana High Court on June 26, 2013. At that time, only four sites were auctioned for Rs 83.40 lakh, marginally more than the reserve price. The bidders had, at that time, termed the reserve price of the remaining nine sites on the higher side. Thereafter, the MC’s field staff carried out an elaborate exercise to monitor the
movement of vehicles at the remaining nine sites and on the basis of its report, the MC had decided to reduce the reserve price of these sites by almost 20 to 25 per cent. However, even the reduced reserve price failed to attract the bidders. They said the sites would not generate enough revenue as compared to the reserve price of the parking sites. MC Additional Commissioner Isha Kalia, who supervised the auction with more than a dozen prospective bidders present at the Zone D office of the MC in Sarabha Nagar, said the auction had been called off. She said the reserve price of the remaining nine sites would be reviewed. The paid parking sites proposed to be put under the hammer today were from Shiraz Hotel to Bharat Nagar Chowk (reserve price Rs 14.40 lakh), Bharat Nagar Chowk to Mini-Secretariat (Rs 14 lakh), Gurdev Nagar to Sandhu Tower (Rs 14 lakh), Sandhu Tower to Malhar Road (Rs 17.56 lakh), Malhar Road to Mandir Street Sarabha Nagar (Rs 12 lakh), PAU Gate No 1 to Circuit House (Rs 11.52 lakh), Circuit House to Aarti Chowk (Rs 20 lakh), Aarti Chowk to Bhai Bala Chowk (Rs 28 lakh) and Bhai Bala Chowk to Canal office (Rs 21.60 lakh). Meanwhile, four paid parking sites along Ferozpeur Road that were auctioned by the MC on June 26 and made operational only a few days ago were also not running smoothly. Tiff between residents, shopkeepers and the parking contractors is a routine at these parking sites. The shopkeepers have been protesting against payment of Rs 100 per day for a vehicle. The contractors, however, lament that in the absence of proper entry and exit points, several vehicle owners evade payment of parking fee. On their part, the contractors have also failed to install electronic machines to check duration of the parking as the HC orders were explicit that a vehicle could be parked in these parking sites for a maximum period of two hours and thereafter the traffic police would tow away
the vehicle. |

Roads at Jagraon Grain Market a shambles
Jagraon, July 18 Countless pits in the grain market and pot-holed roads themselves speak volume about its bad condition and the government’s apathy towards improving the situation there. The farmers face the brunt whenever they bring their produce to the local grain market. The commission agents based at Jagraon Grain Market too complain of the inconvenience they face due to the bad condition of the roads there. The commission agents say that the roads were repaired four years ago after which no construction or repair work has been has been undertaken making the situation worse. The commission agents and the farmers rue that they have made several requests to the government demanding improvement in the local grain market in the recent past, but to no avail. "Despite our repeated requests, the Punjab Mandi Board authorities have done nothing to improve the situation. All our demands seem to have fallen on deaf ears", said commission agent Rajinder Singh. Sources said neither any construction nor any repair work had been undertaken for improving the condition of the grain market. Though the Punjab Mandi Board had started the work about two years ago, the work has not been completed so far. "The Punjab Mandi Board had laid stones on the roads two years ago, but the department has failed to lay the concrete material on them ", claimed the sources. Moreover, the commission agents had even raised the issue before Jagraon MLA SR Kaler when he visited the grain market on June 1. Kaler who was accompanied by the authorities of the Punjab Mandi Board during the visit had promised that the construction work would be accomplished within 15 days. But no work in that direction has started so far. Meanwhile, the blame game has started between the authorities of the Punjab Mandi Board and the Market Committee for the delay in construction work. Gurmail Singh of Punjab Mandi Board claimed that the construction work had been delayed as the Market Committee did not pay the required funds for the construction work. On the other hand, Jagraon Market Committee secretary Jaswinder Singh says that the Market Committee had already released the funds for the construction work.

Have you paid wealth tax?
Ludhiana, July 18 "The Wealth tax is a direct tax, charged on the net wealth of the assessee. It is a tax based on the benefits derived from the ownership of a property. The tax is to be paid year after a year on the market value of the property owned, even if the property yields no income. It is payable if the market value of certain assets exceeds Rs 30 lakh. The tax is one per cent of the combined value of such assets," said a senior IT official. Wealth tax targets unproductive, non-essential and idle assets. If you have bought a second house and not given it on rent, the value of the property will be included while computing your wealth tax liability. Gold and silver, whether bought, gifted or inherited, will also be included while calculating the tax. Even the cash you keep in your locker at home is liable to be taxed, said Munish Singla, a tax professional. However, productive and financial assets, such as commercial property, bonds, fixed deposits, stocks, gold funds, mutual funds, saving account bank balance and gold exchange traded funds (ETFs’), are exempt from wealth tax. There is a stiff penalty for evading wealth tax. An incorrect declaration of wealth can invite a fine of up to 500 per cent of the evaded tax. A person can also be jailed for up to seven years if the tax due is over Rs 1 lakh. Wealth tax evasion is easy to
detect because the assets are tangible. Wealth tax can be paid online or deposited at any designated bank branch. The wealth tax return is to be filed using form BA before July 31. If the assessee is liable to audit, the last date is September 30. You must know

Jagraon, July 18 Harinder Singh’s family broke into celebrations when they came to know that his wife had given birth to a boy child, ending their long wait. The couple was earlier blessed with a daughter 12 years back.

interlocking of tiles on club Road
Ludhiana, July 18 The area residents complain that the work of fixing tiles was being carried out by unskilled workers without proper supervision of skilled staff or even the field staff of the Building and Roads Branch of the Municipal Corporation. Col SK Sood, an Army officer (retired), said that he had apprised the area councillor, Narinder Sharma, as well as the MC Additional Commissioner, Isha Kalia, with the shoddy work being executed in a careless manner without any positive response from any quarter so far. "Of course the public money is being spent in the name of beautification of the area, but if the quality of work being carried out is any indication, the money is just going down the drain with no body giving bothering about it," he said in a frustrated tone.Many other area residents rued that the labour deployed for fixing tiles was indifferent to the lapses being pointed out to them. The progress of the work, they added, was very slow and at times, the entire work force disappeared for days together. Not only this, the debris and other material
have been left at the site where fixing of tiles has been completed. "Over all, the area where tiles have been fixed does not give a neat and tidy look which ought to be the basic purpose of the beautification project," the residents pointed out.Both Narinder Sharma and Sunil Sharma, SDO of the B and R branch of the MC said the work was being constantly supervised by the field staff of the MC. The work of fixing interlocking tiles on Club Road is still under progress and the contractor executing the work has been strictly told to maintain good quality of workmanship," said Sunil Sharma. He further said that once the work was completed, it would be inspected by the officials concerned and only if it met the laid down standards of quality, the final bill of the contractor will be accepted for payment in the due course.

monsoon woes
Ludhiana, July 18 One can use 5 to 10 dried flakes of amla by boiling these along with vegetables and daal. It is a rich source of Vitamin C, which never gets destroyed even after overheating." During the monsoons, people who start their day with tea should add a slice of ginger and a few leaves of Tulsi to their tea while preparing it. Those who have cough, saunf (fennel) and cardimum (chhoti iIlaichi) tea is the best." Vatsayan further said, "If one suffers from body aches, one should take Tulsi and daalcheeni tea." While an ayurvedic medical officer, Dr Monika Malhotra, said, "Due to acidity some people lose their appetite i.e. anorexia. They must take small slices of ginger with
rock salt, 15 minutes before having meals. It helps in secretion of digestive juices." Vatsayan said, "To keep the electrolytes of the body balanced, one should drink shikanjavi with salt, sugar, black salt, ajwain and zeera. People who are prone to diarrhoea should have isabgol husk (unrefined) with curd during the day time in this season." Allovera and gloe are also useful herbs. Allovera can be taken in the form of a dish (sabji) once or twice a week. People, who suffer from the problem of uric acid, should take gloe. The experts say that one can take small quantity of gloe (size of an index finger), crush it and squeeze out the juice. Take the juice everyday. Vatsayan said, "For controlling the cholesterol level and triglycerides, one can take two gm of triphala powder intermittently (two to three times in a week) with honey or warm milk. It clears the stomach and reduces toxicity, but one should not make it a regular habit."
