Eight-lane road turns killer stretch
Ludhiana, March 27 Compounding the matters, the traffic police have done little to implement speed limit on the stretch to avoid mishaps. Accidents involving two-wheeler riders have become the order of the day. Sources said the road-widening work carried out on the Ferozepur Road was aimed at ‘commercial benefit.’ This is because a number of malls and hotels have come up on either side of the stretch, turning it into a freeway. Traffic regulations have also been ignored for an under-construction shopping mall, near Sacred Heart School, BRS Nagar, on the Ferozepur Road. The traffic police have allegedly removed a road divider for the mall’s construction. This has led to rampant traffic jams on the stretch. Traffic chaos can also be witnessed at the busy Barewal Chowk. Despite repeated requests by residents, traffic lights have not been made functional at the point. During the late night hours, the stretch turns into a race track. fatal end

People need to act responsibly, police must keep check, say residents
Tribune News Service
Ludhiana, March 27 Speed thrills but kills
Some people drive fast just for the thrill. Roads are not meant for speeding as you are not only jeopardising your life but those of others and their families as well. — Puneet Kumar Better be late
In the modern-day busy lifestyle, people must do better time management in order to reach their destination in time, without speeding. Otherwise, it is better to be late than putting to risk others’ and our life. — Varun Sachdeva Be prudent
I met with an accident and fractured both my arms. I was speeding and pledged not to drive fast ever again. Some people don't even get that chance to learn, as they die or become permanently handicapped. So, it is better to be prudent than put our life to risk just to reach our destination a few minutes earlier. — Aman Don’t test egos on road
The discipline of driving responsibly has to come from within. When one person drives fast, others too try to emulate that person. Roads are meant for driving and not for racing. Surprisingly, many people test their egos on the road. Every other day, we hear of accidents, but we just don't learn. — Avtar Singh Keep strict vigil
The administration needs to take strict action against violators. The traffic police personnel must keep vigil round-the-clock. CCTV cameras must be installed to catch cases of speeding. Speed limits must be indicated at regular intervals on the road. — Balmeet Singh Feels unsafe to drive
It feels so unsafe to drive when vehicles just speed past you. In the absence of any check by the police, people continue to flout speed limit norms. Traffic police must act against such rash drivers to address the problem of increasing number of accidents in the city. — Sona Kapoor Counsel children
Parents are the first ones to be blamed for cases of rash driving on city roads. Parents themselves allow underage children to drive. Children ought to be counselled and taught the value of
life. — Manjit Singh |

Health dept issues 25 challans
Tribune News Service
Ludhiana, March 27 Challans were issued at the Feroze Gandhi market, Sarabha Nagar market and main market, Ferozepur Road. The challans were issued on the directions of the Civil Surgeon, Dr Subhash Batta. The violators were fined under the supervision of District Health Officer (DHO) Dr Avinash Kumar. Food safety officers Ravinder Pal Garg and Yogesh Goyal conducted the raids. The DHO has appealed to those selling tobacco-related products not to violate the Cigarette and Other Tobacco Products Act (COTPA) 2003. “COTPA should not be violated as nearly 10 lakh people die due to tobacco consumption every year. In India, 40 out of 100 people die due to tobacco-related cancer. Nearly 95 per cent people suffering from mouth cancer consume tobacco. The life expectancy of people consuming tobacco reduces by 10 years,” said DHO Dr Avinash. Civil Surgeon Dr Batta said, “It is mandatory to install a warning board outside shops selling tobacco products. The board should act as an advisory and mention that it is illegal to sell tobacco to people below 18 years of age. It should also mention that tobacco is injurious to health and causes cancer.” The DHO said shopkeepers should not display tobacco products outside their shops. “The sale of tobacco is not to be allowed within 100 meters of educational institutions such as schools and colleges. People should not smoke at public places such as schools, colleges, cinema halls, public parks, railway station,” he added.

Keeping the tradition alive
Ludhiana, March 27 It was the first Punjabi theatre group in Pakistan that staged political plays opposing the martial law. Shafiq Butt is in the city along with other traditional artistes known as Mir Aalams to participate in Folk Theatre Festival. Butt said his theatre group was dedicated to the mother tongue and staged plays in Punjabi only. The Punjab Lok Rahs organises the annual Punjab Lok Boli Mela in various parts of rural Punjab
in Pakistan. This year the fair was organised at Banga in Jaranwala, native village of Shaheed Bhagat Singh. Earlier, it has also been held at the mausoleum of Waris Shah, author of Heer. The Mir Aalams, also known as rahsdharis, have been associated with the group since 2002. They are known for their art of singing and comedy. Talking about the Punjabi movement in Pakistan, Butt said: "It is very unfortunate that despite more than 60 per cent population of Pakistan being Punjabi, very few accept it as their mother tongue. Communal politicians are forcing Urdu on Punjabis in the name of religion. Other than economic and political elites in Pakistan, all other sections of society have started recognising the importance of mother tongue. We are working to make Punjabi an election issue, so that our rich language gets the status it deserves.” Butt said his form of theatre that raised people-centric issues was still struggling to get acceptability in Pakistan. He said his theatre group had two types of artistes: traditional rahsdharis and modern artistes. “The traditional artistes have been staging rahs since centuries in rural Punjab. We gave them platform to keep the folk art and tradition alive. The modern drama group, meanwhile, raises core issues of the society,”
said Butt. The veteran artiste said the group had scripted and staged more than 650 Punjabi plays based on various issues. “All artistes participate voluntarily and are mostly students. We never take any aid from the government,” he said. Butt said the group always got a good response on the Indian side of the border. “The borders should be relaxed for the exchange of common cultural activities among Punjabis,” said Butt. Group from across the
border stages plays in city Folk artistes from the Punjab province of Pakistan staged the play “Gopi Chand” based on “Kissa Gopi Chand” at the PCTE Group of Institutes on Thursday. The traditional artistes, known as "rahsdhari", earlier staged the play “Puran Bhagat” at Punjabi Bhawan on Wednesday. The troupe belongs to a village in Sahiwal district and used to play “rahs” at rural festivals, marriages and other such occasions. Troupe leader Abdul Haq said: "We got a great response from the people of Ludhiana. People residing on both sides of the border have same language, culture and way of life.” One of the organisers, SN Sewak, said, “Globalisation has ruined our rich culture. We thank our brothers from Sahiwal for keeping our culture and tradition alive. The audience enjoyed the melodious voices of these folk artistes.” Kirandeep Kaur, a university student, said: "I watched the play "Puran Bhagat". I could not keep myself away from the play “Gopi Chand” on the PCTE campus. I really enjoyed all the performances.”
