Feb surprise: City parts don white mantle
Chandigarh, February 15
Officials of the Met Office stated low pressure in the areas of northern Rajasthan and its neighbourhood resulted in today’s hailstorm. Cloud development in various sectors increased the intensity of the hailstorm. Snow in Shimla could intensify the cold wave conditions in the region, they added. The day, however, began with rain in the morning, with the minimum temperature settling at 10.4 degrees Celsius, one notch above the normal. The maximum temperature was recorded at 14.6 degrees Celsius, which is eight notches below the normal. While the rain caused inconvenience to commuters, it brought a pleasant surprise for youngsters and children who enjoyed the unusual site of hailstones and white roads in some part on a February evening. “It was unexpected but nice to see hailstones. I hope the weather stays like this on Sunday also. It will make for a perfect outing,” said Sumanya, an IT executive. Traffic was affected on many roads.

Disabled brigadier dies awaiting medical reimbursement
Chandigarh, February 15 Owing to an in-service disability, an automated implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (AICD) was implanted on Brig TS Sekhon (retd) in 2003. It controls low as well as high heart rate and its wires and leads are connected to the heart. The device has a life of about four years. A surgery to replace the AICD and to remove the wires was not successful. While on a visit to Germany to meet his daughter, the brigadier had a medical emergency. He was evacuated to a hospital where an emergency procedure was carried out to save his heart through a laser surgery and the wires were also removed. It was certified by doctors that the procedure was an emergency procedure and it was also endorsed by doctors of the Army in India. The total cost incurred was Rs 5.56 lakh which, it was claimed, was much less than the treatment that would have cost in India. The Ex-servicemen Contributory Health Scheme (ECHS) provides for reimbursement in emergencies at the government hospital rates. Hence, Brigadier Sekhon applied for reimbursement. Despite it being certified by the Indian and German doctors as a medical emergency, the claim was rejected by the MoD on the ground that he should have returned to India for the procedure and that the reimbursement of medical emergencies outside India was not permissible. The brigadier contested both the statements on the grounds that it was clear from the medical documents that it was an emergency and there was nothing in the ECHS policy which stated that emergencies outside India would not be reimbursed. The only stipulation in the policy was that in case of an emergency, only the rates as applicable to the AIIMS would be considered. He moved the Chandigarh Bench of the Armed Forces Tribunal, which allowed his petition in February 2011 and directed the MoD to release the reimbursement at the rates at which the treatment would have cost in India. The Tribunal also quoted a Supreme Court (SC) judgment which provides that medical expenditure has to be released at the Indian rates even if an emergency has happened outside India. The MoD did not implement the order despite no stay on it and appealed against it in the SC. Though the MoD’s appeal was dismissed by the SC, his application for the execution of the orders kept getting adjourned by the Tribunal.

Panchkula cops suspect wider network
Hina Rohtaki Tribune News Service
Panchkula, February 15 Talking to Chandigarh Tribune, Commissioner of Police Ajay Singhal and Deputy Commissioner of Police Ashwin Shenvi said their arrest could unearth a bigger network spread across the country. The Nigerians, identified as Chopper and John, alias Goodluck (both arrested) and David (absconding), used to contact people through e-mail and then talk to them on the phone. Their two women accomplices from Delhi and Jalandhar would help them trap their victims on the phone. "Our teams have worked day and night to bust this gang. They would trap their victims through e-mails informing them that they have won a lottery of £700,000 pounds. They would tell their victims that to convert the lottery amount into Indian currency, certain fees prescribed by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) have to be deposited by them," said Singhal. The victims were told that the fees had to be deposited in different bank accounts. The victim, Bhupinder, deposited Rs 14 lakh in 13 accounts. The accused used to withdraw the money through ATM cards, added Shenvi. After withdrawing the amount, the accused would either break the sim cards or discard them, sources said. The three Nigerian nationals are graduates and came to India three years ago. The absconding Nigerian, who is said to be the mastermind of the gang, is carrying all the cash. David, who was jailed for drug peddling and possessing a fake passport, was released 13 months ago. It's a big scam with the network spread all over the country. Money was deposited in the accused’s accounts from Nagpur, Goa, Bangalore, Mumbai and several other places, added Singhal. One laptop, three landline phones, three broken sim cards, four passports and one bank account copy have been recovered from the accused. The accused, John and Chopper, and one of their woman accomplices have been remanded in five-day police custody while another woman accused has been sent to three-day police remand. Partnership in crime turned into marriage Partnership in duping people culminated into marriage of a Punjabi girl and a Nigerian boy. The woman, who married the Nigerian national, David, has an 11-month-old baby boy, who would be sent to a juvenile home. The woman said she was introduced to David by another woman who was facing a trial in a Delhi court under the Immigration Act.

Narrow escape for fire officials
Chappar Chiri (Mohali), February 15 Mohali fire officer Mohan Lal, firemen Jatinder Singh and Sarabjit Singh and driver Amrik Singh were going to the venue of the Punjab Progressive Agriculture Summit scheduled for tomorrow, to attend rehearsal for landing of VVIPs’ choppers. Notably, the road was constructed two-three days ago to widen the approaching road to the Fateh Burj in view of the agriculture summit. The Fire Department personnel were sitting in the driver’s cabin of the fire tender (PB65-L-4450) when it overturned in the fields nearby. Luckily, all of them escaped unhurt. A Punjab Police constable, who was deployed there, said a mishap was averted in the morning too when another part of the road caved in. “A car plying on the stretch would have met the same fate but its driver managed to avert the tragedy,” said the constable. The caving in of the road raised questions on the quality of material used in its construction. Hundreds of vehicles would be using the road during the four-day event that begins tomorrow.
CM convoy passed a few minutes before
The convoy of Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal passed on the stretch twice, just a few minutes before the fire tender overturned. “We were not aware that a car was also stuck there in the morning,” said a senior Punjab Government official, admitting that the quality of the road needed to be examined.

All is not well in Congress camppoll

Senior leaders of the party fail to turn up at Lucky’s tea party for Bansal Rajinder Nagarkoti Tribune News service
Chandigarh, February 15 In a public display of mending terms with the sitting MP (within few days of rebelling against Bansal), Lucky had invited CTCC president BB Behl, Mayor Harphool C Kalyan and all Congress councillors. But the majority of senior leaders did not turn up at the tea party. Congress district president HS Lucky said the function was for MP Pawan Kumar Bansal and he attended it. Moreover, his (Lucky's) supporters also attended the function, he said. The political drama between Bansal and Lucky had unfolded on January 27 when Lucky opposed Bansal's candidature for the Chandigarh Lok Sabha seat. It ended after a meeting between the two leaders in Delhi on February 10. At today's meeting, Bansal said he was hopeful of getting the party ticket for the Chandigarh Lok Sabha seat but final decision would be taken by the Congress high command. He added that the Congress would announce the name of its Chandigarh candidate in the second list, which will be released in February end. BJP slams Congress
Arun Sood, a BJP's leader of opposition in the MC House, said as per rules, no community centre could be booked for holding a political function. However, the Congress flouted the rule by holding one in Sector 20 community centre in the name of
'tea party'. It seemed that MC officials were hand-in-glove with Congress leaders, Sood alleged.
Lucky or Bansal’s boycott?
In the Congress camp, there are two different views about today's function. While some are saying that Congress leaders did not turn up because they did not want to get their name tagged with Lucky, others say there was still some resentment against Bansal due to which senior leaders gave the tea party a miss.
No revolt in Cong: MP
MP Pawan Kumar Bansal said there was no revolt in the Congress city unit and it was only a media creation. Six candidates, including Bansal and Lucky, have sought the Congress ticket for the Chandigarh Lok Sabha seat.

Chandigarh, February 15 The BJP councillor from Ward Number 24, Rajinder Kaur, said she was shocked to see the invitation card for the inauguration of the projects in her ward. “The card also had my name mentioned too, however, nobody told me about the inaugurations earlier,” said Kaur. A new community centre at Vikas Nagar, an extension of community centre and a shopping complex is to be inaugurated at Mauli Jagran. Kaur said it was after her determined efforts that the projects were completed and the Mayor wanted to inaugurate the project himself. Arun Sood, BJP councillor, and leader of opposition said the Congress wants to take the credit of the new projects as the Lok Sabha elections are approaching. Kaur said she will get the projects inaugurated by senior citizens of her ward at 1 pm. City Mayor HC Kalyan said the area councillor was taken in confidence before finalising the inaugural ceremony of the projects. “These projects are the property of the MC and a Mayor is supposed to inaugurate these projects, how can the residents inaugurate the projects?” Mayor questioned. Mayor further added that the formal inauguration of the project would be held on February 17. “The move planned by the BJP councillors is illegal and I strongly oppose that,” he added.

Patch up: Lucky’s U-turn irks supporters
Chandigarh, February 15 In another comment posted on the Lucky's Facebook wall, which Lucky had removed later, Sikka wrote,
"Munna bhai sab ko MAMU bana kar chala gaya". Ajay Sikka said he had accompanied Lucky when he had filed his application for the Chandigarh Lok Sabha seat. He along with other supporters stood by him, but within a few days, Lucky took a U-turn and 'patched up' with Bansal, he said.

Another Lucky supporter, seeking anonymity, said, "Lucky was left with no other option because the party high command was favouring Bansal." HS Lucky said the majority of supporters were still with him and they had respected his decision. He added that Sikka was associated with the Haryana Janhit Congress
(HJC) as mentioned on his Facebook profile.

Cops, councillor should join hands to stop light thefts
Hibiscus Garden, situated adjacent to the CFSL and Alliance French Study Centre in Sector 36, is one of the oldest gardens in Chandigarh. The unique set up and calm atmosphere in the evenings cast a soothing spell on the visitors, who despite of the shortage of benches regularly visit the garden. Two days back, we were shocked to find five newly-installed lights stolen from the park. Yesterday too, we found the iron cage broken and one more light had been stolen by some miscreants. We hope that the councillor concerned and officials of the horticulture wing, with the help of police, will do something about it at the earliest.

2 PU senators to go on fast
Chandigarh, February 15 The senators include Dr Ajay Ranga, fellow and assistant professor (Law) UILS and Varinder Singh. They will sit on hunger strike on Monday. While other 10 senators, of the teaching association and non-teaching association will support them. Senators were demanding that when the rules of rotation for head of UILS are clearly defined in PU Calendar and all different committees constituted for this purpose recommended the rotation, then why the VC is providing undue benefit to only some selected people. On this issue, till date, two of the VCs including former professor RC Sobti and present VC Arun Kumar Grover had constituted four committees and they had recommended the rotation of headship as per PU Calendar. Considering the Rule 2.1 of PU Calendar III all the committees recommend the rotation of headship as chairperson among all faculty members eligible. Violating all committees recommendations the VC again appointed former chairperson for next three years who had already been heading UILS for more than last four and half years. PU dean of law department Satpal Jain said the vice-chancellor had constituted a committee on this issue and it was decided in the meeting that professor of the department will hold the position rotation wise which was implemented. He said he had not received any representation from the faculty of department on this issue.
