Beer set to become cheaper
Chandigarh, May 12
On the contrary, high-end brands of Indian Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL), draught beer, imported liquor and wine will become costlier as the UT Excise Department has increased the excise duty in the segment by 10 per cent to 25 per cent in the excise policy for 2014-2015.
The UT has gone in for drastic changes in this year's excise policy. Against the standard policy for 12 months, the new policy will be for 10 months. UT Excise and Taxation Secretary Sarvjit Singh said the overall quota of country liquor had been reduced from 27 lakh proof litres to 10.82 lakh proof litres and for the IMFL it had been reduced from 200 lakh proof litres to 83.23 lakh proof litres for a period of 10 months. He said the UT Excise Department would approve of only those labels where the ex-distillery price had been kept on a par with that in Punjab. The quota of liquor will now be distributed proportionately among vends keeping in view the licence fee of the respective vend, meaning that vends with high bid money will have a higher quota compared to other vends that attract less bid money. Accordingly, the number of vends has been reduced from 217 to 173. “The department was able to sell only 121 vends of the total 217 in the current excise policy. This was resulting in huge losses to the department,” said the official.
Little to cheer for liquor consumers
In the red for incurring a loss of over Rs 60 crore due to a poor response to the auction of all 217 vends during 2013-2014, the Chandigarh Administration has gone in for drastic changes in the excise policy for 2014-2015 to mop up revenue by incorporating various measures for stakeholders. On the other had, the minimum retail price of the IMFL has been increased.

Doctors found absent at dispensaries
Chandigarh, May 12 "Their leave applications were placed in the attendance registers and were shown to the inspecting team. However, these were not sanctioned by the competent authority, which means these applications were 'emergency devices' either written by someone else or kept on record for such an eventuality and in case nobody checked, these could be destroyed later," the inspection team noted in the report, a copy of which is with Chandigarh Tribune. One of the members of the five-member inspection team said, "The final report of the inquiry will be submitted to the Health Secretary shortly, while the interim report has already been given to him. Action will be taken on the basis of the final report." The team, headed by Joint Health Secretary SK Setia, inspected 13 health centres a few weeks ago. Key findings in interim report

PSEB Class XII results Students of Institute for the Blind come out with flying colours; Labh Singh gets 87.5% marks Mehakdeep Grewal Tribune News Service
Chandigarh, May 12
The young lad, who is from a humble background, came to the city to pursue his studies in 2006 and since then he has never looked back. High on determination, getting a good score was more like a cakewalk for him. "I never took studies as a challenge. I used to study only for three hours daily." Surpassing last year's highest percentage of 85.1, with no extra coaching and no monetary help, Arpit Kumar, son of a ricksaw-puller, bagged the second spot with 86.4 per cent marks. Arpit, who is crazy about technology and wants to make a name in the field of software coding, said, "My inspiration is my father, who toils hard everyday to ensure that his children are able to fulfil their dreams." Such is Arpit's hunger for knowledge that even before the results were declared, he got himself enrolled for an advanced computer course in Delhi. Jatin Jindal, son of a businessman, clinched the third position with 85.3 per cent marks. He aspires to be a judge. Jatin said, "This score will help me get admission to a law college; it is just the beginning; I want to achieve more in life." The institute's best tabla player, Sandeep Kumar Goyal, scored 98 marks in percussion. Of the 14 students who appeared for the exams from the institute, over five students secured more than 80 per cent marks, while the remaining students have all scored above 70 per cent. School Principal Jayara, who is happy over the students' performance, said, "We want our students to become an integral part of society. They should be provided equal opportunities. We have always taught our students that nothing is impossible and they can achieve whatever they aim for."

Better Mohali Bipin Bhardwaj Tribune News Service A six-lane ring road will divert Delhi-Manali, Delhi-Dharamsala, Delhi-Shimla and Shimla-Patiala-Bathinda traffic from Zirakpur. It will provide relief to commuters from traffic jams on the Ambala-Chandigarh Highway. The project launched by the state government in 2012 is likely to be completed soon. Zirakpur, May 12 The 3.5-km six-lane ring road will divert traffic from the Chandigarh-Ambala Highway near the Ghaggar Bridge and will rejoin the Zirakpur-Patiala road near Chhat village and then meet the Aero City in Manali to rejoin the Chandigarh-Manali Highway in Kharar. Similarly, the traffic heading towards Panchkula and Shimla would be diverted from the same point to take the Sanauli road that will rejoin the Zirakpur-Panchkula road ahead of Sector 20, Panchkula. With the construction of the ring road, the volume of vehicular traffic on the Zirakpur intersection and the overbridge will be reduced to almost half.
‘Find solution to the problem’
CM’s technical adviser Satish Chandra visited Zirakpur and took stock of the traffic problem following the Punjab and Haryana High Court’s directions to the Punjab Government to come up with a solution to the traffic problem. The technical adviser has also asked the PIDB, the PWD and the Zirakpur Municipal Council to find a solution to the problem collectively.
Major bottleneck in smooth flow of traffic
The local bus stand that is likely to be thrown open to the general public is being considered another major bottleneck in the smooth flow of vehicular traffic at this busy intersection. While local leaders are trying to take the credit for this “hazardous” development, officials of the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) accuse the state government of further compounding the traffic problem here. Constructed by the Punjab Public Works Department on the guidelines of the Punjab Infrastructure Development Board (PIDB), the bus stand will be thrown open this month. Officials of the PWD (B&R), on the condition of anonymity, said the bus stand was a part of the city development plan and was constructed to ease traffic congestion at the Zirakpur junction.
Blunder in constructing the bus stand
OC Mathur, project director, NHAI, held the state government responsible for making another blunder by constructing a bus stand and that too right adjacent to the highway. The bus stand was constructed at a location, which will block the
entire junction. The traffic problem will aggravate further in the years to come as the township is growing at a rapid pace. Presently, the NHAI has sent a proposal to widen the Panchkula chowk to the Patiala chowk stretch of the highway.
Narinder Kumar Sharma, MLA, Dera Bassi
What prominent residents say
The National Highways Authority of India constructed the overbridge at Zirakpur without discussing the proposal with the local residents and involving local engineering experts in the planning. There are a number of designing faults in the
overbridge. Deepinder Singh Dhillon, chairman of the Patiala Development Board
It is high time the Zirakpur Administration sorts out the issue of slip roads along the national highway and under the flyover with the NHAI to facilitate the business establishments with proper access to the
highway. Sunil Bandha, director, Zirakpur-based company
Scores of business establishments and MNCs have their offices in the approved commercial complexes. They have already paid all necessary charges to the local civic bodies. Now, they are switching over to some other places due to the absence of proper access to their
establishments. Rajesh Bhasin, a Zirakpur-based real estate developer
Presently, the occupancy rate of flats that have come up in Zirakpur is nearly 30 per cent. The problem will aggravate in the future when the occupancy rate will be 100 per cent. The government should declare “no-construction zone” along the six-lane ring road in the initial stage. Otherwise, a similar situation will occur here,
too. Rotarian Bhupinder Singh Saini
The district police have deployed 23 policemen, including an inspector, two sub-inspectors and 20 head constables, to regulate traffic in
Zirakpur. In the absence of any alternative route and the number of vehicles plying on the roads multiplying day by day, the stretch from the Panchkula chowk to Patiala
chowk, which is the lifeline of the town, remains completely choked throughout the day. Traffic rule violators further added to the congestion. Inspector Avtar Singh, in charge, Traffic Wing
I have been residing here for the past 40 years. I have not assumed that Zirakpur will develop beyond expectations. Now, bypasses are the only solution to the frequent traffic
jams. Harbansh Singh, president, Zirakpur Market Association

Mystery deepens in Saman death case
Panchkula, May 12 At 12.37 pm on April 20, when the duo was taken out of the gorge by the police, the mobile location of the girl’s phone, which was recovered by the family of the victim, was traced to Mubarakpur. Similarly, at 10.30 pm on April 19, after talking to his mother on the phone, the mobile location of Saman’s mobile phone was also traced to Mubarakpur. Jagtar Singh, Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP), who is heading the special investigation team (SIT) said, “At 11 am on April 20, our teams were there to rescue the duo from the gorge. The family said that at 12.37 pm, the mobile phone location of the girl that was found in the car was also traced to Mubarakpur.” He added, “As Himachal, Haryana and Punjab both adjoin Morni, so we are working on the theory that in the gorge, does the phone catch Mubarakpur signals.” The police are still clueless as to how come the internet was used by the girl at 10.05 am for 25 minutes and she managed to send 4KB and received 2 KB material. Meanwhile, the family was in tears, when they received Saman’s admit card for the preliminary examination of the Delhi Judicial Services today. “Saman has been asked to appear for the examination on June 1. They are not aware that he is no more. He hid it from me but had discussed it with his mother that he wanted to take the exam,” said, Rajender Dhanak, Saman’s father.
The case
On the intervening night of April 19 and 20, Saman Dhanak, grandson of a former Haryana Minister, died when his car fell into a 60-foot-deep gorge in Morni hills. His woman friend suffered serious injuries. It was after the family raised several missing links in the police investigation that a SIT was formed.

UT Admn to auction nine nursing home
sites
Chandigarh, May 12 Sources in the UT Health Department confirmed that approval for auctioning nine nursing home sites in various parts of the city has been granted. “We will begin auctioning immediately after the code of conduct imposed in view of the Lok Sabha elections is over,” said a senior UT official. At present, there are nearly 15 nursing homes functioning in the city. A number of other nursing homes have closed down over the past couple of years. Services at a majority of these nursing homes are limited to maternal health while the burden of other specialties, including cardiology and elective surgeries, lies majorly on the three government hospitals - GMCH-32, GMSH-16 and the PGIMER, officials said. The new nursing homes will help in de-congesting the overcrowded hospitals by taking away the load of at least the middle -class population in the city who can afford to pay higher costs at these nursing homes when compared with those being charged at government hospitals, they added. These sites include one in Sector 44, two each in Sectors 33 and 46 and four in Sector 51.
