Excavation near DMCH gives patients tough time
Ludhiana, March 12 The road was dug up by a private company to lay cables. Not only the main road reading to the DMCH, but also the roads leading to the Hero Heart unit have been dug up and left unfilled. One can witness frequent traffic jams on these roads. Ajit Singh, relative of a patient, said the ambulance ferrying the patient had been stuck in a traffic jam near the main gate of the DMCH for about 20 minutes. “For a critical patient, every minute is important. Getting stuck in a traffic jam just outside the hospital gate is very annoying,” he said. Excavation should be carried out at night and should be completed at the earliest to avoid traffic jams. Subhash, a worker at a nearby medicine shop, said ambulances enter or exit from the hospital every now and then. “Today, a patient was being brought from a nearby town in a private ambulance and it got stuck in a jam. We had a tough time clearing the way,” he said. “The hospital authorities should also ask the private company to speed up the work of lying cables. It is one of the major hospitals in the city and a number of patients are daily brought here,” said another patient.

Civic body officials shut eyes to bylaw violations
Ludhiana, March 12 Four such commercial buildings have been identified in Zone D. Two of these buildings have been sealed twice. A shop has been constructed on the main road between Prince Hostel and New High School without paying charges for change of land use. It was reportedly sealed twice by the MC authorities. Still, it is running business. In another such violation, owners of the HIG flats on the Rani Jhansi Road have constructed shops by changing the basic plans of the flats. Following complaints, the MC officials "sealed" the shops. But after some time, these started business again. One of the residences on the main road in Model Town (opposite Lyalpur Sweets) has been turned into a commercial establishment, without getting the land use status changed. The MC has not taken any action against the owner despite complaints as he enjoys a good rapport with a local Akali leader. At Green Field, the owner of a plot on the main road near the level crossing has constructed shops on it while the building plan has been sanctioned for a residence. About a week ago, the Assistant Town Planner, Zone D, Rajinder Sharma, had said he needed two days' time to look into these violations. He would tell an Inspector to visit these buildings. Commissionerspeak: MC Commissioner Shruti Singh said this was a serious matter. "I will get these files checked and will ensure action as well as disciplinary action against the employees
if any lapse on their part is established," the Commissioner added. |

Farmers get agri tips at mela
Ludhiana, March 12 Dr Baldev Singh Dhillon, vice-chancellor, PAU, presided over the mela. On the occasion, Dr Baldev Singh Boparai, former Member, Board of Management, PAU, and Dr Ravi Kumar Sabharwal, chief agricultural officer, Gurdaspur, were also present. The mela was based on the theme, “Belore Rasayanan Uppar Kharch Ghatao, Vatavaran Bachao, Munafa Vadhao (reduce expenditure on the use of unnecessary agro-chemicals, save environment and enhance profit).” Riar applauded PAU for producing great stalwarts in the field of agriculture at national and international levels. He appealed to the farmers to avoid show off, wasteful expenditure and said manual hard work is the key to success. Riar said the crop varieties developed by PAU hold great significance for Gurdaspur district. He urged the farmers to read PAU publications regularly. In his presidential remarks, Dr Dhillon described farmers as scientists who conduct experiments and give valuable feedback to PAU, which helps in research programmes. Dr Dhillon said this year the mela aims at advocating judicious use of agro-chemicals, as the indiscriminate use of agro-chemicals has resulted in the rise of farm expenditure and environmental concerns. He emphasised the importance of conservation of natural resources for future generations. He said the appropriate use of fertilisers should be made only after soil testing. For crop diversification and nutritional security, Dr Dhillon said it is good to adopt the kitchen garden model. He encouraged the farmers to grow vegetables and pulses in one kanal area to save money and stay healthy. He also called upon the farmers to make efficient use of Internet for the development of agriculture. Dr SS Gosal, director of research, told the farmers to avoid the use of varieties that have not been recommended. He called upon the farmers to follow PAU recommendations from time to time and maintain constant liaison with the university experts. Earlier, Dr HS Dhaliwal, director of extension education, said Punjab is contributing vitally to the nation’s food grain bowl. Punjab, at present, is producing 37 per cent of honey and 42 per cent of mushroom in the country, he said. The farmers should take full benefit of 17 Krishi Vigyan Kendras functioning across Punjab and remain in touch with the farm experts, he added. Dr Boparai said the RRS, Gurdaspur, is making important contributions to agriculture. It is a kind of small varsity where every facility is available, he added. Dr Paramjit Singh, director, RRS, Gurdaspur, proposed the vote of thanks. On this occasion, an exhibition was put up by various departments of the university.

Shaheed Bhagat Singh Nagar
Colony Kuldip Bhatia
Ludhiana, March 12 Residents of the area said tin sheets put up as temporary roofs on the garbage dump were flown away by high velocity winds that lashed the city earlier this week. The sheets were just put up to cover the dump without using guest plates and securing them with nuts and bolts. To make the matter worse, the tin sheets scattered around the dump had been taken away by jhuggi dwellers. Dr Vijay Kumar Sareen, a resident of the colony, said the open dump had become a favourite hunting ground for stray animals, while the garbage and other waste material lying in the open keep flying into the houses located around the site. Karamjit Singh Narangwal, another resident of the area, who is an architect, has pointed out several shortcomings in the material used for construction and the workmanship. He said 8mm iron bar (saria) was used for the construction of pillars in place of the required 12 mm. Rings to secure the iron bars were placed 1.5 feet apart as against the standard norm of 9 inches. “The tin sheets laid on the top of the dump were not placed over a guest plate and secured with nuts and bolts, which is the laid down practice for tin roofs,” Karamjit said. Arvind Sharma, an RTI activist and a resident of the colony, in a complaint lodged with the Vigilance Wing of the Local Government Department, said due to uncertainty prevailing over the maintenance of the colony, both MC and LIT officials were passing the buck as far as fixing responsibility for the poor quality of construction material as well as the repair of the dump was concerned. Demanding a probe and action against the guilty officials, he said a huge amount of public money was wasted in the construction of the garbage dump that was causing nuisance, rather than serving the purpose.

SIT finds drug case accused
innocent
Ludhiana, March 12 The accused have been identified as Harcharan Singh, a native of Dadd village settled in US, head constable Jugraj Singh, Manoj Kumar, a mechanic, Lakhvir Singh, a close aide of Harcharan Singh, Pawandeep Pappu and two drug smugglers Gagandeep Singh Robin and Gurmeet Singh Kali. While Robin, Kali and Jugraj have been arrested, Harcharan Singh, Manoj Kumar and Lakhvir Singh and Pawandeep are absconding. Vipan was arrested outside the Mini-secretariat on July 19, 2012, and nearly 3 kg of opium was recovered from his possession. Ever since he was booked in the case, Vipan had been maintaining that someone had planted opium in his car. Recently, Harcharan's brother Harbhajan Singh appeared before the Commissioner of Police, PS Gill, and demanded a reinvestigation in the case by a special investigation team (SIT). The Commissioner of Police constituted an SIT, comprising ADCP-III Satvir Atwal, ACP-West RS Sandhu and SHO, Division No 5, Dharampal. The team cracked the case and booked seven persons for hatching a conspiracy to frame Vipan. ADCP-III Atwal said the accused NRI, Harcharan Singh, was at loggerheads with his brother Harbhajan Singh over a piece of land. Both the brothers had filed cases against each other staking claim to the property. While Harcharan Singh had given the power of attorney to Lakhvir Singh of Dadd village, Harbhajan had given the power of attorney to Vipan Kumar for fighting legal cases in their absence. During July, 2012, Harcharan, Jugraj and Lakhvir Singh hatched a plan to frame Vipan in a false case. As per the plan, Jugraj and Lakhvir along with Pawandeep purchased 3 kg of opium from Robin and Kali. Later, they hired Manoj Kumar, a car mechanic, who planted the opium in Vipan's car while the latter was appearing for a hearing in the court. Once the contraband was planted, Jugraj informed the police about it following which Vipan was arrested.
One held with 4 kg opium The intelligence wing of the police nabbed one Rakesh Singh of Madhya Pradesh and recovered 4 kg of opium from his possession. The accused was arrested from Salem Tabri area following a tip- off.

Spend more time with children, parents urged
Ludhiana, March 12 Suhel Seth is India’s marketing and management guru and a columnist. He highlighted the nexus between businessmen and politicians, which has made the whole system corrupt. Commenting on the sadistic attitude of society where people feel happy at other person’s failure, he said everyone was driven by easy ways to mint money without taking into consideration the benefit of the nation and the deprived sections of society. He asked the parents to spend more time with their children and teach them about the values and the culture of the nation. He said business played a pivotal role in development and upbringing of society and the businessmen should fulfil their responsibilities with utmost importance. He threw light on the dilapidated state of democracy of the nation where we vote to throw out a person, rather than electing in a person. People were urged to build a strong education system and focus more on literature, arts, culture and history. The paradigm shift in the attitude of youth was also focussed as youth has started questioning the authorities and leaders of the country. Seth said, “We Indians need to act as a safeguard for our country’s inherited culture and preserve
it for the generations to come”. He urged the Indians to continuously innovate, keep an enquiring mind and start acting against what is wrong. The speech was followed by an interactive session. Sachit Jain, president
of the Ludhiana Management Association, said, “Seth had shown everyone a mirror that
we all are responsible for the poor state of our country”.

Extension to
CMD, directors of power
utilities Kuldip Bhatia
Ludhiana, March 12 As a direct consequence of the agitation, which will continue from Match 12 to 26, power supply in the central zone might be affected. Bhupinder Khosla, secretary, central zone, said during the ‘work-to-rule’ agitation, the power engineers would perform their duties strictly during duty hours only and would not perform the duties of subordinates. “In case of tripping of any unit at any of the thermal or hydro power plants in the zone and in case, there is a fault in transmission or distribution system during off-duty hours, both power generation and distribution might suffer, which will be the responsibility of the state government and the management of power companies,” he said. Khosla said there was resentment among power engineers over the move to increase the retirement age of the CMD and directors from 62 to 65 years, and allowing entry of IAS officers in the management. It was against the concept of professionalism in the power sector as well as a violation of the tripartite agreement made in 2010. Khosla added that power engineers were also upset over non-recovery of liquidated damages to the tune of Rs 1,000 crore from private thermal plants due to the delay in commissioning of plants at Talwandi Sabo and Goindwal Sahib, which would translate into increased cost of power in Punjab. “A lopsided policy of the state government to rely on private generation means an additional burden of Rs 1,250 crore per annum on account of imported coal whereas Punjab has sufficient coal for its own thermal power plants,” he said. “Further, the government will pay capacity charges amounting to Rs 1,700 crore for this financial year to private thermal plants without getting a single unit of power. Such financial burdens would only be shifted to consumers by increasing the power tariff,” Khosla added. Lashing out at the managements of power companies, Khosla said on the one hand, the managements were resorting to incurring unproductive expenditure in building guests houses while on the other, genuine demands of the employees were being overlooked on the pretext of austerity.
