CBSE warns erring schools
Ludhiana, August 12 Khanderao was in the city today to attend a science exhibition at Sacred Heart Convent School. “Students of schools who fail to develop their websites will not be allowed to sit in board exams and the schools might end up losing their affiliation,” added Khanderao. The CBSE has directed the affiliated schools to develop their websites with comprehensive information about their setup and management. The information to be provided online in the web portal includes affiliation status, details of infrastructure, names and designation of teachers and their salaries, class-wise enrolment of students, postal address and email, telephone numbers and details of members of the school management committee. The schools have to prepare their annual report and upload the same on the website before September 15. He said parents should inform the CBSE about the schools that falsely claim to be affiliated with the Board. “Strict action will be taken against erring schools. There is nothing wrong if some schools claim of following the CBSE pattern. These schools only follow the pattern set up by the Board but are not affiliated with us,” he said.
CBSE orders go unheeded
Ludhiana, August 12 The CBSE had recently asked the schools to update their websites with the information regarding the fee structure, and for the first time it had asked schools to put the salary grades of teachers on the website as well. The move aimed at bringing transparency and curbing the exploitation of teachers at the hands of private schools. Schools were given one month's time to do the needful. Barring a few (around 15), however, most of the schools affiliated to the board have protested the move. Director of Green Land Schools Rajesh Rudra said schools were writing letters to the CBSE against the instructions. "We are paying full salaries to teachers. Besides, the information is regularly given to the Income Tax department. There is no point in uploading the details on our websites,” said
Rudra. Harmit Kaur, director, Sahodaya Schools, however, said it was unfortunate that schools were not taking the directions of the board seriously. "When we are paying the salary to our staff, then why should there be any reluctance in making it public? Schools being run by trusts have no problem in putting the entire information on their school website, unlike other private schools,” she said. Harmit Kaur said there were many schools in Ludhiana being run by individuals who paid salaries to the staff as per their wish. “The matter of meagre salaries being paid to teachers was brought to the notice of the
CBSE, following which the board asked the schools to make the information public,” said Harmit
Kaur.

Industry to pay lump sum tax on goods sent through trains
Ludhiana, August 12 The rates fixed are Rs 1,500 per case and Rs 2,500 for big bag. The receipt of the tax paid will be collected from the counter of the department at the railway station and the same will be pasted on the consignment. The decision was taken at a meeting held here today which was attended by Surinder Kaur Riar, Joint Commissioner, Excise and Taxation Department. It was a long-pending demand of the hosiery and knitwear industry that lump sum tax should be charged from them on the products being sent out of the city through the Railways. This move will also help curb ‘peti mafia’. "The step taken by the department is appreciable. Now, there will be no checking of goods as receipt of the tax paid will be pasted on the consignment. Though we have recommended Rs 1,200 as lump sum tax per box, but it has been fixed at Rs 1,500 by the department. We will urge the department to reduce the tax,” said Naveen Sood, president of the Ludhiana Hosiery Association. Darshan Dawar, president of the Knitwear Club, said genuine traders also had to suffer due to ‘peti mafia’. “But now every trader sending the consignment from the railway station will be paying a lump sum tax to the department,” he said.

MC fails to check illegal construction
Ludhiana, August 12 At present, a portion of a house located right opposite the Sarabha Nagar market is being allegedly converted into shops. But officials of the building branch of the MC were unaware of the illegal activity till The Tribune team informed them. An area shopkeeper told The Tribune that a portion of a house facing the Sarabha Nagar main market was allegedly being converted into shops. "The owner of the house is carving out two shops by constructing walls in the porch," said the shopkeeper. Last month, an ice-cream shop was constructed by 'renovating' a house in the same lane. After The Tribune highlighted the illegal construction, the MC officials swung into action and got the shop closed. These shops are located in a residential area and as per rules the owners cannot carry out any business activity from the area. Over the years, it has been observed that whenever officials of the building branch visit the place, the owners tell them that they were just 'renovating' their house. But when the same 'renovation' takes shape of an illegal shop and is opened overnight, the building branch officials fail to notice it for reasons best known to them. The illegal construction is going on right opposite the Sarabha Nagar main market which is frequented by a large number of people, including MC officials. When contacted, MC Additional Commissioner Isha Kalia said she would ask her staff to visit the area. "We will take action against the owner of the house if the house is being converted into a commercial establishment," she said.

Fake pesticides flood market
Jagraon, August 12 The rise in demand has resulted in production
of duplicate pesticides. Some dealers have been allegedly selling fake pesticides to the illiterate farmers at an unreasonably high price. The Agriculture Department officials have reportedly failed to check on the sale of these pesticides to the farmers. According to sources, the pesticide dealers in connivance with certain officials of the agriculture department have been deliberately spreading the rumours among the farmer community, to increase the sale of the fake pesticides and earn easy money. Some educated farmers, however, said the situation is not as grave as being presented by the agriculture department. "Only 15-20 per cent of the paddy crop is affected by pest attack, which is
a normal occurrence. The number is not as alarming as compared to the previous years," said Manjit Singh, a farmer from Malak village. Block Agriculture Officer Jagraon Balwinder Singh said, “Some pests are damaging the paddy crop. But there is no need to panic. As per our estimate, pests have damaged around 30 per cent of the paddy crop." The block agriculture officer said he was not aware of the current trend of selling of duplicate pesticides in the market. Singh, however, advised
the farmers to take suggestions from the agriculture experts before buying and using pesticides on their crops.

When we reached the accident site, I was shocked to see the mangled remains of the bus. If I hadn’t got off the bus, I would have been among the victims,” said Gurbir Singh. "I was coming from Faridkot to Jagraon this morning in a bus. When the bus reached near Mehna, I saw some people lying dead on the road while many others were critically injured.

Jagraon, August 12 The protestors led by Kothe Rahlan sarpanch Gurcharan Singh and president of local Bahujan Samaj Party unit Mangal Singh raised slogans against the Municipal Council authorities. The protestors said the civic body officials had failed to solve the problems faced by the residents due to the dumping of garbage near their houses. This was the second protest staged by the residents of the area in the past three days. On August 10, the residents, while protesting near Bhadarkali Mandir, raised the demand for shifting the garbage dump to some other area outside the town. "When we staged a protest recently, the Municipal Council authorities assured us that they would stop the dumping of garbage in this area. The authorities, however, failed to keep their words, and the practice of garbage dumping by the MC workers is still going on,” said Gurcharan Singh. Mangal Singh said the protest would continue till the garbage dump was shifted from the area. Municipal Council president Baldev Krishan Dhir said the civic body had already started the process of shifting the garbage dump to some other location. "We are doing our best to shift the garbage dump as soon as possible, but the process might take some more days for completion.

Elevated Road a killer stretch
Ludhiana, August 12 The Elevated Road in the old city area was constructed for decongesting the city traffic, but it has been failing its real purpose as accidents occur on a regular basis and people lose their lives as there is an accident-prone curve near Master Tara Singh Memorial College, here. In June, an NGO, had installed safety grills near the deadly curve, but still, a 50-year-old man became a victim to the curve last night. The NGO had got these grills installed with their own funds and the MC did not even bother to cover the remaining stretch with grills, later on. This is not the first time that such an incident has taken place at the same spot. Gurpreet Singh, a 15-year-old student of Class VIII of a private school, died in an accident when he was going somewhere along with his father Kuldeep Singh, a mechanic, on the Elevated Road on February 8. In March 2008, two youths had died after falling from the Elevated Road from almost the same spot. Several other residents have also lost their lives when they either lost control of their vehicles or met with an accident. Sometimes, MC officials put the onus of the accidents on residents, but this time, the accident took place as the rain water had accumulated on the Elevated Road. And due to sludge, the road became slippery, which led to the accident. "The speed limit on this road is 40 km per hour but some residents still drive at a higher speed," claimed an officer, who did not wish to be named.

Construction of new footbridge starts at Ludhiana railway station
Ludhiana, August 12 Already, two footbridges exist that link certain platforms, but none of these link all the platforms. The passengers face inconvenience while moving from one platform to another. Moreover, one of the existing footbridges is too narrow and passengers have to slug it out while passing through it. The Railways had started constructing a footbridge in 2010-11, which was planned to link all the platforms and both entries of the railway station. But due to some technical problems it did not materialise. The railway authorities said that the space between tracks was insufficient to install pillars, so the authorities decided to design a new bridge. The footbridge is a long-pending demand of the residents and the former Railway Minister had assured the residents that it would be constructed soon.Ravinder Sharma, Station Superintendent, said, "The technical team found some problems in the proposed footbridge. Now, the higher authorities have decided to construct a bridge that links all the platforms of the railway station. It will provide relief to the visitors and passengers. We hope that it will be constructed within one year.” |

Tewari seeks revamping of Bio-remediation Project
Ludhiana, August 12 He also brought to Natrajan’s notice that the state government was posing as a road block and hence the project was being delayed. Natarajan assured Tewari that she would take up the matter with the state government and ensure that the difficulties and hindrances would be removed at the earliest. He said, during a personal inspection on October 24, 2012, he was surprised to learn that the scope of the project had been narrowed down to 6 km from the original 16 km. These six km are towards the end of the Buddha Nullah before it empties itself into the River Sutlaj, he said. "While I can fully understand that it is important to mitigate the effluent that flow into River Sutlaj. However, what confounds me is that for all intents and purposes this project completely bypasses the 10 odd km, which are intrinsic to its course through the city, which has a thick population residing on its either side", he regretted. Urging the minister to expand its scope, he said, "I will be obliged if you candirect the CPCB or the officials concerned in your Ministry to comprehensively and holistically review the scope of this project to ensure that it really benefits the 25 lakh odd residents of the Ludhiana city by cleaning up the entire 16 km stretch and not only the last sixkm".
