Encroachments removed
Ludhiana, May 13 Though the owners had started removing the encroachments on their own, the MC employees did not take any chance and demolished the extended portion with JCB machines. "We were removing the extended portions on our own. These were small portions and there was absolutely no need to create panic among the area residents by bringing a heavy police force," said Sukhpal Kaur, one of the residents. Assistant Town Planner (Headquarters) Kamaljit Kaur said the MC had been duped by encroachers in the past. "When we go there they start removing bricks from the encroached area and assure us they will do the needful. But as soon as the MC teams have left, they stop the work. So this time, we removed encroachments on our own," said the ATP.

Tree falls on power cables; supply to localities disrupted for 10 hours
Ludhiana, May 13 A huge tree, grown in front of a mall under construction, fell on the power cables at around 4.30 am. The field staff of the Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) and workers engaged at the shopping mall had a tough time removing the uprooted tree, which took almost 10 hours. A huge beehive on the tree made the task a bit more difficult. The power supply to the affected localities was restored at around 3.30 PM, officials of the PSPCL said. A visit to the spot revealed that the area around the tree had been dug up by the construction company workers to lay sewers. As the ground around the tree had softened due to digging, a mild storm that lashed the city late last night uprooted the tree. The PSPCL staff working at the site did not rule out the possibility of a foul play behind the uprooting of the tree as it partially blocked the view of the near-completion shopping mall. Residents of several areas, including the Old District Courts Chowk, Sessions Chowk, Bank Street, Rajinder Nagar, Ram Nagar, Kailash Chowk and Dr Bindraban Road localities, had a hard day braving the hot and humid conditions without power supply. They had to go without water in the morning and afternoon as well.

Patwaris buckle under workload
Ludhiana, May 13 The state government had recruited patwaris in 1982. The Punjab Cabinet sectioned the filling of 1,230 vacancies of patwaris before the Assembly elections. Claiming that the sectioned posts were inadequate, the Revenue Patwar Union has demanded an increase in their number. Rupinder Singh Grewal, district president of the union, said: “The patwaris have been working under extreme workload. One patwari is taking care of five circles. The state government has to fill all vacant posts. The 1,230 posts are insufficient and as many are going to retire in the next two years. The new cadre of patwaris will first get training and only then join the department. It will take two more years. So, the government has to section more posts”. Mukesh Kumar, District Revenue Officer, said: “It is true that owing to a shortage of patwaris in the department, the workload on them has increased. The state government is going to recruit more patwaris.”

railway station Charanjit Singh Teja Tribune News Service
Ludhiana, May 13 A large number of passengers, who are not able to move without a wheelchair, daily visit the railway station. Their attendants have a tough time shifting them from one platform to another. Recently, the authorities got a foot overbridge constructed that connects all the platforms. But, they forgot to make any provision for easy movement of the physically challenged and elderly. Such passengers are forced to cross the tracks through the carrier pathway, putting their lives at risk. Dr Satpal Mehra, a visitor to the railway station, said: "As there was no ramp at the station, we had a tough time shifting my wife Santosh, who is unable to walk because of her badly swollen knees. Last time, we missed the train as we were unable to make it to Platform No. 3 on time. The railway authorities should construct separate bridges for the physically challenged and elderly." A physically challenged person, Purshotam Singh, said: "Whenever I have to travel by train, my elder brother picks me up in his lap and take me across the bridge. The Railways should seriously think about this issue." Officerspeak

Stalling of demolition drive at chaura bazar Asks him not to violate HC orders by regularising encroachments Shivani Bhakoo Tribune News Service
Ludhiana, May 13 In a letter written to the Mayor, Sabharwal stated that the High Court while disposing the civil writ petition 4886 of 2003 had already ordered that illegal encroachments should not be regularised. The order states: "Vide a subsequent order dated February 10, 2004, the state government was restrained from regularising unauthorized encroachments and constructions made in the municipal area of Ludhiana. Thereafter, on February 19, 2004, the said restrain order was expanded qua all the municipal areas in the state of Punjab with a further direction to the Commissioners/Chief Executives/ Executive Officers and Secretaries of all municipal corporations, municipal councils, municipal committees and nagar panchayats to ensure that nobody is allowed to make encroachments on all public lands including those falling under municipal areas.” Sabharwal told the Mayor that Article 141 of the Indian Constitution termed judgements of the Supreme Court “Law of the Land”. “The Supreme Court also says, ‘A plain or simple judicial decision on fact can not be altered by a legislative decision by employing doctrines or principles such as public trust doctrine, precautionary principle, larger safety principle and competence of the state legislature to override agreements between two states,” he stated in the letter. "In any way, the legislature cannot neutralise the effect of the orders of the High Court passed in CWP 4886 of 2003 by passing any kind of resolution. On basis of the facts and directions by both the Supreme Court and High Court, encroachments of Chaura Bazar should not be regularised in any way as it will surely be against the directions of the High Court and Law of the Land", said Sabharwal.

accused’s acquittal in Sarabha nagar shootout case Mohit Khanna Tribune News Service
Ludhiana, May 13 The prime prosecution witnesses in the Sarabha Nagar shooting incident reportedly turned hostile following a compromise between the parties, leading to the acquittal of all accused. Taking strong exception of the entire episode, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Lok Sabha candidate and a senior Supreme Court lawyer HS Phoolka said, “The police should have presented the case properly. It was not a fight between the two groups. They fired shots into the air, vandalised the public property and threatened area residents.” On the issue of the prime witness in the case turning hostile, senior advocate Ajay K Jindal said, “We should strengthen the law of perjury, so that the witnesses think before retracting their statement. The shootout reflects the degeneration of society and loss of morality." “The arrest of an accused is eyewash, an exercise the police do to save their skin. After arresting the accused, the police “in some cases” receive kickback and work overtime to favour culprits. Investigations are directly influenced and controlled by politicians. In the absence of evidence, the accused gets bail. The recently released Jolly LLB, a courtroom comedy drama film, aptly describes the plight,” said senior advocate Ashok Lakhanpal. The incident Four persons had allegedly suffered bullet shots when two groups of the Youth Akali Dal (YAD) clashed in the posh Sarabha Nagar G Block market on February 27. The incident took place when Kinda Dhaliwal and his rival Kaka Grewal picked up a quarrel at the main market in the Sarabha Nagar area. Both of them reportedly challenged each other to meet at the Sarabha Nagar G Block market. In the evening, both the groups, comprising 25 persons each, reached the market. They started abusing each other. Soon, the verbal duel turned into a shootout. Armed assailants took shelter in nearby houses. More than 100 rounds were exchanged. The incident was considered a severe blow to the law and order situation in the city. It had embarrassed the SAD- BJP alliance. Under pressure, the police had arrested all accused.

Excise Dept amends input tax credit
Ludhiana, May 13 One of the most important conditions for availing the input tax credit is that even if you purchase taxable goods for sale or for manufacturing purposes, you will not get the input tax credit of tax paid unless such goods are sold or are used in manufacturing processing. Earlier, the input tax credit was available even if the goods were ?for sale? or were used in manufacturing or processing of goods meant for sale. "Under another condition (effective from April 1), the input tax credit will be available when such goods are ?sold? or are ?used? in the manufacturing or processing of goods meant for sale," said Excise and Taxation Commissioner Anurag Verma. Gurmeet Singh said the amendment had made things difficult for them. Now, traders will be required to maintain a register containing details of goods. ? Not only inter-state traders but exporters will also be affected by the move. Now, the exporters will get the input tax credit of tax paid on the purchase of goods only when such goods are actually sold in the course of export. "The input tax credit proportionately may be retained on the basis of closing stock available at the end of the year," added a senior official from the department. Jatinder Khurana, taxation lawyer, said the department never informed traders about any amendment.
