Garment showroom gutted at congested Chaura Bazar
Ludhiana, May 18 Fire Officer Gurmel Singh said without wasting any time, six fire tenders along with 12 firefighters reached the spot and put out the fire. "The day being a Sunday, we faced difficulty in reaching the spot. The roads were jam-packed with visitors as a rehri-fari market is held at Chaura Bazaar on every Sunday. Thankfully, the fire was controlled before it spread to adjoining buildings," said Gurmel Singh. Hundreds of persons gathered at spot. The firefighters had a tough time moving their fire tenders and reaching vantage points to douse the fire.

Ludhiana, May 18 Pardeep has alleged that he had an old rivalry with the assailants. He told them that he could not support the Independent candidate as he was a government employee. Meanwhile, Inspector Sarabjit Singh, Station House Officer (SHO), Daba, expressed ignorance about the controversy. "I am not aware Pardeep had made any such statement.

Simarjit had written to the Election Commission, expressing his fears about implication in a false case. In the meantime, the police has registered a case against Davinder Singh, Gurpreet Singh, Lucky, Peeta and Subba Singh of Guru Gobind Nagar in the Daba area and started the investigation.

Better Ludhiana medical menace Manav Mander Tribune News Service
Ludhiana, May 18 With diagnostic charges alone running into thousands of rupees these days, these poor migrants prefer spending a couple of hundred rupees on a prescription devised by these roadside quacks. Ironically, many quacks have set up their stalls right under the nose of the district administration, with some running their business outside the Mini-Secretariat. Migrant labourers their prime target The Focal Point area is burgeoning with these quacks who are catering to various labour colonies and clusters in the industrial area, Sherpur, Vishwakarma Colony, Janakpuri, Shivpuri, Tajpur Road, Basti Jodhewal, Kundanpuri, Shimplapuri and in villages around the city. Simple ailments of the patients are not only misdiagnosed by these quacks but also complicated with prescriptions of steroids and other harmful substances. Some quacks also claim to cure serious ailments such as AIDS. Not caring two hoots for ethical medical procedures, they also put their patients at the risk of contracting HIV and hepatitis B infections. Concentrated in areas around the bus stand, these “medical practitioners” openly advertise in the electronic and print media. Childless couples, men suffering from general debility, youngsters wanting to increase their height or the middle-aged people wanting to control hair loss are their main clients. While one such "doctor" claims to treat his patients with German and American medicines, many quacks claim that they make their own medicines based on guarded secrets of several generations. A quack, commonly known as “Rajasthani doctor” reportedly uses what he calls animal and plant extracts for ailments such as skin allergies. Ayurveda, too, has been defamed by many unqualified people, who pretend to use the ancient medications for treating their patients. By prefixing doctor or vaidya with their names and suffixing degrees such as BAMS and MD, they dupe people. They can be found running their clinics in the city and neighbouring towns and villages with impunity. Admn
violates HC directive While most quacks continue to prosper, the administration has conveniently chosen to look away. By doing so, the authorities are violating a directive of the Punjab and Haryana High Court that instructed the state government in general and the Civil Surgeon in particular to conduct periodical raids and surveys on shops and clinics of unqualified medical practitioners. Out of thousands of quacks operating in the district, the health department has been able to register cases against only a handful in the past few months. Expressing helplessness, an official of the Health Department admitted that unregistered medical practitioners had a flourishing business in the city. “Whenever we conduct a raid, these practitioners shut shops, only to resurface at the same spot or at times relocating to another part of the city,” said the official. Even the Indian Medical Association (IMA) members who are authorised to register cases against quacks at the nearest police station have shown unwillingness to fight for the cause. Put patients at risk ‘Department doing its bit’ ‘menace on ima radar’

Youth urged to preserve historic buildings
Mandi Ahmedgarh, May 18 Conceding the need of renovation of residential and commercial buildings situated in Chaura Bazar area, the enthusiasts argued that at least the year of construction scribed on the buildings should be retained. Investigations revealed that a majority of the buildings situated in Chaura Bazar were constructed much before thirties and forties. While some of the owners had retained the year of construction scribed on the outer walls, others inadvertently removed the historic signs. Sat Pal Aggarwal, patron of the Aggarwal Sabha, said he had advised the members of his family to preserve maximum possible originality of the building in which his parents had moved on the night of August 14 in 1947. “Though I understand that the buildings require renovation and strengthening, still have asked my family to retain the year of construction scribed on the front wall,” said Sat Pal claiming that walls of the building were constructed with typical small bricks. Rameshwar Sharma, a former teacher, another octogenarian informed that grandparents of Mela Ram Aggarwal led by Basanta Mal and Pirthi Chand were first to purchase a few shops in the Chaura Bazar in 1933. These shops were later sold or presented to different families deciding to settle at local town. Harbhagat Singh Rasaldar, Ram Sarup Khajanachi and Bansi Mall were among pioneer settlers of the locality. Recognising the importance of the area, Tarsem Lal Garg, patron Social Welfare Organisation, said efforts would be made to perpetuate memoirs of pre-independence period. Though, signboards of a majority of commercial organisations display Ahmedgarh as the name of locality, a gurdwara and a government primary school running from a building constructed in 1933 are still known as situated in Bahadurgarh, said Garg.

Extra vigilant
Although counting of votes for the Ludhiana Lok Sabha seat went off peacefully on May 16 on the PAU campus, the teaching and non-teaching staff of the varsity living inside the university had a harrowing experience throughout the day due to tight security arrangements. The campus was turned into a fortress; the overcautious security personnel perhaps overstepped their brief. Ban on entry of outsiders in the campus due to security reasons is quite understandable, and even warranted, but refusal to let in the domestic servants even when their employers-the faculty members and other PAU staff were ready to vouch for them, was a bit too much. Even as most of those living inside the PAU residential area chose to remain indoors, the police and security forces were so edgy that quite a few senior faculty members, having the university stickers on their vehicles, had to argue to gain entry inside the campus while returning to their houses. It was bit too much. Isn't it? Green effect
All the counting centers established at various locations in PAU campus were neat and clean. But the counting centre of Ludhiana (East) was having an environmental touch. The tables kept for election staff were decked up with fresh rose flowers. However to guide the visitors for parking their vehicles at some other place, an eco-friendly method ‘notice board’ was used. A placard stating ‘No parking’ was hung with the stem of Bougainvillea plants outside Sukhdev Singh
Bhawan. Indeed the message pleased every visitor. High expectations
After the historic win of Narendra Modi now messages and status on social networking sites and apps are getting flashed. People are putting forward their aspirations from the new government. Some want the price of petrol to be decreased, homemakers want cheap grocery, some want free un-interrupted power supply, others want speedy justice. Among all these a tea stall vendor says he is sure the price of tea and sugar to come down so that tea stalls can flourish. Everybody is putting forward his demands and expectations from the new government. Let’s put our fingers crossed and hope the new government fulfills everybody’s desires. Summer relief

Ludhiana, May 18
The president of the Sutlej Club, DC Rajat Aggarwal did a smart move by announcing the club's elections within a very short period. He did not give ample time to the contestants, their supporters to throw lavish parties, indulging in petty politics and mud-slinging. The members had not even thought that elections will be announced immediately once Lok Sabha election results declared. In fact, majority of the contestants were not geared-up for the contest. They virtually got 3-4 days' time to do the leg-work, reach out to members to support them. One of the old members of the club said, "These elections were held in most decent manner in past several years. Had these contestants been given time or opportunity, lakhs of rupees could have been wasted on organising parties to woo members. Besides, there is not much mud-slinging." 
Come summers, and it is time to consume more water. And to the parched residents the oval shapes dotting the roads, at the roadside stalls put up by local vendors are a boon on a hot afternoon. One of the residents said that these watermelons ( see
pic) on the roads look like pieces of art and all the more beautiful as these not only beat the heat, but also quench the thirst and satisfy hunger during the hot afternoons. "If the Almighty has created the extreme weather conditions, He has also given the gifts to deal with these," said a resident.
