Child Helpline officials flouted norms
Probed inmates in school during class hours without informing principal Mehakdeep Grewal/Aarti Kapur Tribune News Service
Chandigarh, April 25 Surprisingly, the principal of Government Model Senior Secondary School, Sector 15-C, Amarjit Kaur, was clueless about any such visit by the helpline representatives in the first week of April after the helpline received the complaint of molestation against Bal Niketan supervisor Manish Arora. Sources said that the representatives of the Bal Niketan also met the principal to complain about the incident after the inmates revealed that the helpline representatives had probed them on the school premises during class hours. The Director of Public Instructions (schools), Kamlesh Kumar, said, higher authorities were not informed regarding the matter. Ideally, the helpline authorities should have taken the principal into confidence and questioned the students in the principal’s office. Kumar further stated that entering the school without seeking permission amounts to trespassing and probing students in the school was a violation of children’s confidentiality. The principal confirmed the representatives had come to the school, but they did not inform them (the school authorities) about the purpose of their visit and did not seek any permission. She said that the school management thought that the helpline representatives had come to conduct an awareness camp or lecture. She further said that till date no complaint had been made to the higher authorities in the Education Department but she would apprise the authorities.
Guidelines
As per the common guidelines of the education code and ethics of the UT Education Department, if any visitor wants to meet a child in the school, an entry has to be made at the gate and permission should be taken from the day teacher. The principal and the teacher in the class should also be informed about any such visit.

Sessions Judge RK Sondhi conducts surprise check
Panchkula, April 25 Sondhi was accompanied by Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM)-cum- Secretary of DLSA, Hemraj Mittal, and para-legal volunteers, including woman advocates. Only one security guard was found on duty when the DALSA team reached there. Sondhi told the supervisor that on many occasions, whenever their team conducted a surprise check, the gate was found open at night. He ordered that the gate should be locked at 8 pm and no outsider should be allowed to enter the premises after that. "It is quite strange that only one CCTV camera is installed at the gate and there are no cameras in the corridors or anywhere on the premises. They take attendance of the children just once in the morning," said para-legal volunteer Manbir Singh Rathi. Talking about the Chandigarh incident, Sondhi told the girls "You all know what happened at a similar home in Chandigarh. If anyone misbehaves with you here, you must let us know. I do not want any such untoward incident being repeated here." The District and Sessions Judge spoke about the security measures to be taken by girls. Sondhi allowed only female helps to enter the quarters of the girls and only female tutors would come to teach them. Sondhi instructed that the staff should accompany any outsider who entered the premises. As many as 25 girls and 25 boys are living here in separate quarters. The DLSA team found that the surroundings were well maintained. Female para legal volunteers also interacted with the girls.

Pvt destitute homes avoid govt aid to escape interference
Chandigarh, April 25 As per the records of the department, there are three homes for destitutes in the city which are run by private NGOs, including the Missionary of Charity in Sector 23, Guru Aasra Trust in Palsora and Bal Niketan Society in Sector 15. However, the former two do not take financial help from the government. The reason is that if they do so, the Social Welfare Department will get the power to ensure adherence to the norms set under the Integrated Child Protection Scheme, which provides for qualification and salaries of the staff. Also, there are set infrastructural norms that have to be followed by homes for destitutes. Resultantly, the UT Social Welfare Department could only monitor or inspect their premises every month and suggest them to follow the norms set under the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2000, or issue advisories. Recently, during an inspection of three of these destitute homes, a team from the department found that these homes were not maintaining any data pertaining to inmates. As per the norms, details of all the inmates should be uploaded on a portal. On a number of occasions, the department had recommended installation of CCTV cameras on the premises of these homes, but they failed to do so. Sources said in routine, the department officials use to inspect the area, ventilation and hygiene at these private destitute homes. voices that matter After the Bal Niketan incident, fresh advisories have been issued to all private homes for destitutes to strictly follow the norms. Inspections are being carried out at these homes, a report of which will be submitted by the next week. The department has power to cancel the registration of a home in case there is a major violation and children could be shifted in case of a serious complaint. Rajesh Jogpal, director, UT social welfare department We have started preparing data base of the inmates for the online portal. We did not receive any instruction for installation of CCTV cameras on the premises from the authorities or the team that visits after every three months to inspect the home. Sister Priya, Mother Teresa mission of charity So far, we have not received any direction for uploading details of residents on web portal or installing CCTV cameras on the premises.

Taps won’t go dry this summer
The installation of new tubewells in the city has been pending for the last two years. MC officials said that with the tubewells being installed, the city would get more supply of water, which will help in tiding over the impending crisis. “By June, the tubewells will become functional and this will help in meeting excess demand of water during summers”, a senior MC official said. At present, the city receives 87 MGD water. However, the demand during peek summers reaches up to 116 MGD water. With 38 more tubewells installed in the city, the water supply will go up to 94.5 MGD. The city already has 207 tubewells that provides 20 MGD water and the rest 67 MGD water reaches city from Kajauli water works in Mohali after travelling around 27 kilometers. The officials further stated since the MC would not be supplying 9 MGD canal water to Panchkula and Chandimandir from the Chandigarh’s share, there would be surplus water with Chandigarh this year. Chandigarh was supposed to provide 6 MGD to Panchkula and 3 MGD to Chandimandir from this year, but since the machineries are yet to be installed it will not be possible for it to supply water by the year-end.

The case has now been adjourned to May 6 when the trial will begin in court. The body of Pinky was found in a jute sack in the jungle area of Sector 52 on December 1, 2013.

Advanced neuro centre: PGI gets Ministry’s nod
This will be the first such centre in the region, North of Delhi. At present, there are only 100 beds available for patients suffering from stroke or needing neuro-surgery. There are no separate ICUs available, forcing patients to wait despite emergency. Confirming the development, Prof S Prabhakar, Head, Department of Neurology, PGIMER, said, “The centre will bring relief to the patients who face inconvenience due to shortage of beds and ICUs. There is no other health centre in the region that provides tertiary care in neurology so, the inflow of patients remains very high at the PGI.” While land is yet to be formally earmarked for setting up the centre, it is proposed to be constructed near the Gol Market, behind the Advanced Cardiac Centre on the PGIMER campus. Over Rs 200 crore will be spent on the construction of the centre. The four- storeyed neuro-center will have different ICUs and separate stroke centre. In the absence of a stroke centre at the PGIMER, the patients are treated in the common facility and allotted beds as per availability. The centre will also run OPDs and diagnostic tests for neurology. The number of patients rushing to the PGIMER for treatment of stroke has increased manifold in the past 10 years, say experts. The PGIMER currently has Advanced Cardiac Centre, Advanced Pediatric Centre, Advanced Eye Centre and Advanced Trauma Centre running successfully in addition to the Nehru Hospital for other specialties. In the region, the only neuro-centre exists in the AIIMS, New Delhi.

UT traffic cops told to stop ‘targeting’ vehicles from other states
Chandigarh, April 25 Sources said the UT Home Secretary had received several complaints that the traffic wing of the Chandigarh Police specifically ‘target’ vehicles bearing outstation registration numbers to ensure proper adherence to traffic rules. UT Home Secretary Anil Kumar confirmed that during a meeting recently, he had issued verbal orders to senior officials of the UT police to stop unnecessarily harassing such people. In the coming days, he would issue written orders, he added. The Home Secretary said, "Chandigarh is the capital of Punjab and Haryana and people of these states should feel proud while entering the City Beautiful. However, on seeing vehicles with outstation number plates, UT traffic cops unnecessarily stop them to check their documents. Action should be taken to check serious violations. For minor violations, the police should only give warning to the drivers of outstation vehicles." "It is not that drivers of vehicles from Punjab and Haryana only are subjected to harassment. Situation is no different in case of vehicles from other states," he said. Sidharth Chauhan, a resident of Shimla, said the traffic police unnecessarily harass visitors from the neighbouring states. "It always happens with me. Every time I visit Chandigarh, I am stopped at almost every other light point, which is humiliating, specially when my family members are with me," he lamented. Welcoming the Home Secertary’s orders, Veena Koul, who hails from Jammu and Kashmir and resides in Panchkula, said they hope that following these directions, cops deployed at traffic light points would not stop them unnecessarily. In March 2012, two traffic constables and a head constable were suspended for harassing drivers of outstation vehicles. In February 2012, two traffic cops were suspended when an SP found them troubling a driver. Sources said 30 to 40 per cent of the challans issued by the UT traffic police in a year were given to those who had come from other states.

GMSH-16 shuts evening dental OPD
Chandigarh, April 25 The evening OPD of dentistry was the only evening OPD that sustained till now, a year after the evening OPDs in various specialties were introduced at the hospital and its allied centres with much fanfare. While the concept made it convenient for the working class families to avail the services without compromising on working hours, officials in the hospital cited a variety of reasons for closing the OPDs. “These OPDs were not government-approved OPDs. Also due to absence of any new posts sanctioned by the government after 1997, we had to put our existing doctors on duty which not only burdened them but we also found that the number of patients turning up for the evening OPDs was not significant,” said an official of GMSH-16. The evening OPDs in the department of eye, medicine, gynaecology, surgery, ENT, dermatology, paediatrics and dentistry were introduced in March last year. However, gradually, all OPDs were discontinued except that of dentistry.
Evening OPDs not new
In 2002, on directions of the then Union Health Minister Shatrughan Sinha, a number of PGIMER specialties had started evening OPDs. However, soon, due to paucity of time left for research for doctors, a majority of OPDs were discontinued within few months. The evening OPDs, however, still continued in nearly 20 (out of total 125) departments at the PGIMER. These include various specialties such as pediatrics, cardiology, psychiatry, nephrology, ENT and few others. residents speak Such facilities are badly needed in our city for service class. Everyone at my home remains busy in first half of the day. It gets difficult for a person like me to leave work and go to hospital in morning hours. Pawan Mahayana, shop owner I run a shop and all other members of my family go for different jobs. To visit OPD, I am sometimes forced to close the shop in morning or restrict myself to a private doctor. Rohit Bhutani, city resident Children are forced to miss school to visit hospital as the OPD timings and school timings clash. Evening OPDs were a good option to handle this problem. Indra, housewife

State panel sets aside order against Grover Hospital
Chandigarh, April 25 In its judgment, the state commission observed, “Reportedly, there was no incidence of lens breakage during the surgery. It was a phenomenon, which occurred after the surgery and was unavoidable due to reasons such as old age and history of eye disease. In our considered view, the said incident, by any stretch of imagination, cannot be attributed to medical negligence on the part of the hospital authorities in the follow up treatment after the surgery, followed by recorded prescription wherein it was recorded “satisfactory cataract recovery”. “Moreover, the surgery was performed by a team of expert surgeons and there was no reason to believe that there was medical negligence during the course of surgery," the commission observed. The commission dismissed the appeal filed by the complainant, Avinash Kaur (76), who had sought enhancement of compensation in the case. The complainant, a resident of Sector 37, had alleged that the surgeons implanted cataract lens before rectifying the problem in her retina. Later, she allegedly found that the lens was fitted without removing cataract, which resulted in swelling and infection in the eye forcing her to seek treatment in another hospital. The hospital authorities contended that the major cause of poor vision in her left eye was vitreo- foveal traction (retina problem) apart from cataract. It was further stated that the complainant was aware of the problem as she told that she was informed so by an eye specialist at the PGI. They further contended that they adopted the prescribed line of treatment and as per the laid-down guidelines. In their written reply, the hospital authorities stated that when the complainant visited the hospital she was in possession of a permission letter from the CGHS Wellness Centre No. 1, Sector 45, mentioning diagnosis of cataract in the left eye and she was sent with permission for Phaco and PC IOL-left eye (cataract surgery). It was further stated that as per the protocol, the CGHS issued the permission for a procedure on the basis of recommendation by a doctor of the PGI. The hospital chose to perform the Phaco with PC IOL (cataract surgery) instead of first rectifying the retina problem through vitrectomy. Such a course was chosen keeping in mind the best of interests of the complainant since she was a poor prognosis case where likelihood of unfavourable outcome of the surgery was high, as it firmly established medical principle that cataract surgery should be performed prior to vitrectomy (retina treatment). The opposite parties further stated that the dislocation of IOL had not occurred till February 19, 2012, and therefore, there was no question of any remedial measures to be adopted to manage the dislocated
lens.

Traditional ways of campaigning fade into oblivion
In the ongoing campaigning for the Anandpur Sahib parliamentary constituency, particularly in Mohali and surrounding villages, people are missing the traditional election cacophony, interesting slogans and old patriotic songs being played on tape recorders fitted on vehicles driven at slow speed. "I am missing the high-pitch recorded slogans like 'mohar kithe launi hai.... and jitega bhai jitega...' played on rickshaws, rehris or three-wheelers from morning to night,” said Sudarshan Lal, a local resident. He added that the amplifier-fitted vehicles created the election environment. Expressing similar sentiments, Kulwant Singh of Phase VII said the traditional way of campaigning was very effective. "As these vehicles, which were hired by political parties for campaigning, used to roam around throughout the day, everybody came to know the candidates, their parties and election symbols,” he said. Surinder Singh, a resident of Kumbhra, recalled how he and his friends used to run behind such vehicles to get flags, badges, stickers and pamphlets. "New ways of campaigning, including roadshows and messages on social networking sites, have phased out the traditional way of electioneering. The new methods fail to create the election tempo that used to be created around elections earlier,” said Surinder Singh. Congress MLA Jagmohan Kang, who is one of the main campaigners for the party candidate Ambika Soni, said, “Most contestants are adopting new ways of electioneering as the Election Commission has become strict on election expenditure incurred by candidates and the new forms of campaigning are gaining popularity.”

Classes IX and XI Mehakdeep Grewal Tribune News Service
Chandigarh, April 25 School principal JS Jayara said: “With the institute getting affiliation, job avenues will expand for the students as more subjects will be introduced.” Earlier, the school was affiliated to the Punjab Education School Board. Now it has got approval for affiliation for Classes IX and XI from this academic session. Jayara said in Class IX social studies subject would be replaced by social science. In Class XI, instead of double music subject, including instrumental and vocal, there would be only one music subject (optional vocal or instrumental), while history along with political science would be introduced in the curriculum of Class XI. While highlighting the benefits after getting the approval, the principal said earlier the students had to travel either to Mohali or Kharar to appear for the board examinations. Now, they would be able to take the exams within the city itself. “It was difficult for us to find helpers to write Punjabi for our students for the examination. Now, we will not have to search for any of them,” he said. He said now it would become easier for the students to take admissions in other states as well. Chairman of the institute Maj-Gen (retd) Rajendra Nath said: “We had recruited a former principal from a CBSE school six months ago to make relevant changes in the syllabus and prepare the school staff for the affiliation.” When the chairman was asked whether the school would conduct any recruitment of teachers after introducing new subjects, he said: “We will consult the UT Education Department regarding the recruitment and, if needed, we will hire as we have adequate funds.” The school authorities claimed that they have plans of introducing mathematics as well from the next academic session.
