Youths open fire in Sec 17; 2 hurt
Chandigarh, May 19 The incident occurred after a birthday party got over at The Buzz Lounge and Club in Sector 17 at 7.30 pm. Three youths who were invited to the party created a ruckus in an inebriated state earlier following which the bouncer, Rahul, turned them out. Rahul is a resident of Sector 40. Infuriated over being turned out, the youths returned in a white Tata Safari when the party was over. The bouncer, Rahul, was at that time accompanied by Pradeep, who had come to pick him up and was standing outside The Buzz. The Tafa Safari had ‘Multani’ written on it. The youths in the Tata Safari then fired three shots at the two, creating panic in the area. While one shot was fired into the air, two bullets hit Pradeep and Rahul, leaving them injured. While the gunshots were aimed at Rahul, Pradeep got injured accidentally as he was with Rahul at that time. The youths then fled after hurling abuses at Rahul and leaving the two in a pool of blood. Rahul sustained a bullet injury in his hip while Pradeep was injured in the thigh. Passersby rushed both of them to the PGI and called the police. The party was hosted by Rattan Lubana.

Mechanical engineer, two others held for ATM thefts
Panchkula, May 19 The three, Manjit, Hargyan and Mohammad Nazeem, were arrested by the police while they were planning to strike at an ATM in Pinjore last night. A patrolling party saw them near the Mallah road and felt suspicious. The police recovered gas cutters, rods, an oxygen cylinder, a country-made pistol, a gas cylinder, a rope and monkey caps from their auto. During interrogation, they admitted to have made attempts of ATM thefts at Pinjore, near Saket Hospital, Beer Ghaggar and in the Chandimandir area. The three youths learnt the gas-cutting technique to break ATMs on the Internet. Manjit, a
resident of Bihar, is a mechanical engineer and was working with a firm. The other two,
Hargyan and Nazeen, are auto drivers. According to sources, Manjit was not getting enough salary and decided to enter the world of crime. Surpisingly, the oxygen cylinder that was used in the gas-cutting technique was stolen from an ambulance of the General Hospital,
Sector 6. Manjit was known to Nazeem, who introduced him to Hargyan. Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Ashwin Shenvi said, “They have confessed to their involvement in ATM thefts. The Baddi police are working on the case. We have provided them the leads.” Recently, the Panchkula police had nabbed a mechanical engineer for committing thefts in Panchkula. The engineer, Vikas, had said that unemployment pushed him into the crime.
Took cue from the Internet
The police said the three youths learnt the gas-cutting technique on the Internet. They also learnt where the money is kept in the machine and how the gas cutter is used. The oxygen cylinder used by them for the purpose was stolen from an ambulance of the General Hospital, Sector 6, by posing as patients.

For Kirron Kher, the major challenge lies ahead
Chandigarh, May 19 Upon her also lies the onus of addressing the city’s immediate concerns such as ensuring that the Administration makes adequate arrangements to meet the shortage of 29 million gallons per day (MGD) of potable water and around 50 MW of power during the peak summer season. Various pressure groups such as residents' welfare associations and industrialists' bodies have been knocking at the door of the Ministry of Home Affairs to get their issues addressed, some of which have been pending for over five years. They say the new MP will have to be pro-active in making officials move and become the game changer as far the city’s state of affairs are concerned. Typical of the functioning of the UT top brass, the Administrator’s Advisory Council, responsible for advising the Administration on development issues and policy matters affecting the city, has not held a
single meeting in the past year and a half. The Administrator’s public darbar is a formality. In her election campaign, Kirron Kher had announced to conduct a janata darbar once in every three months. The Administration has been sitting on the Right to Service Act despite instructions from the Centre to frame policies under it. Time-bound services in the citizens' charter, which have already been implemented by Punjab, are still a distant dream for city residents. Despite the municipal corporation having a budget of Rs 792 crore, including a budget of over Rs 80 crore this year for recarpeting of roads, a number of roads in the city are in bad shape. The city desperately needs an efficient public transport system by supplementing the ageing fleet of buses with the Chandigarh Transport Undertaking and boosting the infrastructure. The transport undertaking is short of at least 100 buses.
Key issues that need to be addressed
High hopes No one has addressed the issue of need-based changes in 45,000 flats of the CHB. If they allow more floor area ratio in general houses, the same should be applicable in case of CHB flats. While UT officials fail to act, the politicians have been promising. We have hopes from the new MP. — Nirmal Dutt, chairman, CHB Residents Federation

The big North-South power divide in the city
Chandigarh, May 19
The posh Sector 7 A, which houses the residences of UT Adviser KK Sharma and other senior IAS and IPS officials of Chandigarh, Punjab and Haryana, besides politicians, there was no scheduled power cut in the past one month. While the northern sectors are home to politicians, bureaucrats and businessmen, a majority of the service class people resides in the southern sectors. UT Powermen Union general secretary Gopal Dutt
Joshi said UT officials always ensured 24-hour power supply to the VIP sectors. "Whenever there is a power breakdown in northern VIP sectors, which is rare, the Administration restores the power supply by drawing power from the 11 substations of the southern sectors. However, when southern sectors witness long power cuts, the UT Administration never supplies electricity from the share of the northern sectors, which have three substations, to them," he said. If there is a power outage in the VIP sectors, the department connects the respective transformers either with the supply from the 66 kV station in Sector 12 behind the Punjab and Haryana Secretariat or with the supply from Kishangarh to ensure uninterrupted supply. UT Superintending Engineer (Electricity) MP Singh rejected the "north-south divide theory". He said the Administration treated every consumer equally. As the population and commercial establishments were more in the remaining sectors as compared to Sectors 1-10, the pressure on the load in these areas was high, he said.

Now, sand mafia targets industrial plots in Mohali
Mohali, May 19 Around 50 acres in the industrial sector have been targeted where five to 10-foot-deep huge pits can be seen in several pockets due to the excavation of soil. Soil/sand worth several crores of rupees has been excavated by the mafia. The industrial plots in question belong to several industrialists, but the possession of the plots is yet to be given to them by the Punjab Small Industries and Export Corporation (PSIEC). “I was shocked to see a huge pit in my plot when I visited the area a fortnight ago,” said a plot owner on condition of anonymity. He said he had apprised the Mohali Industry and Commerce Association of the development. “I did not approach the PSIEC or the police for obvious reasons,” said the plot owner. Shockingly, senior functionaries of the PSIEC expressed ignorance about the development even though some top IT industries have set up their establishments in the area. Talking to Chandigarh Tribune, PSIEC Managing Director Y Mahajan said, "It (excavation of soil from industrial plots) is news for me. I have no idea about it." “I will soon send a senior official to the spot. If something wrong is found there, action will be taken against those responsible,” said Mahajan. A visit to the spot revealed that a proper way has been paved alongside the road after breaking its berm to enter a big plot. Fresh marks of wheels of trucks and tractor-trailers could be seen in the pits there. Nikhil Saraf, president of the Mohali Industry and Commerce Association, said he had received complaints from a few plot owners regarding illegal mining from their plots. “Illegal mining is taking place in the area. Action should be taken by the PSIEC in this connection and a case should be registeredd,” said Saraf.

Cops changed weapon boxes, claims
resident
Chandigarh, May 19 “We had deposited three weapons, including two revolvers and an Italian-make gun, at the Police Lines on March 14. When we deposited the weapons, these were shown to the authorities and we sealed them in original weapon boxes which came along at the time of the purchase,” he said. “Today, we went to take the delivery of our weapons and were surprised to see that our weapon boxes were not there. Instead, there was an ordinary box. The gun box, which was original, had a big sketch pen number marking on it. Asked why they did this, they said they had to put a number on it. I was disturbed by seeing this as these weapons have a value.” he said.
Boxes not changed: DSP
DSP Suman Kumar said the boxes had not been changed and the person was lying. “We did use the marking as its part of our procedure,” he said.

Re-assessed lease amount offered by
ut Tribune News Service
Chandigarh, May 19 The High Court also directed that the UT Administration shall not use coercive measures to recover the lease amount from the club during these 15 days. As the case came up for resumed hearing on Monday morning, the counsel for the UT Administration told the court that the Administration had revised the lease amount from Rs 13.44 lakh to Rs 10.02 lakh per month from the CGC for financial year 2008-09. The counsel also asserted that further lease amount would be fixed for subsequent years after considering proportionate hike on the base amount of Rs 10.02 lakh per month fixed from 2008-09. Taking a note of the submissions, the High Court asked the club management to take a decision on the acceptability of the re-assessed leases amount within 15 days. The Bench headed by Justice SK Mittal had on the previous date of hearing asked the Administration to file its reply to the petition filed by the Golf Club against the fresh terms of lease renewal and hike in amount. The notice came after attempts by the High Court to sort out the issue through mediation failed. The case will now come up for further hearing on May 19. The High Court, on a previous date of hearing, was informed that Supreme Court’s former Judge Justice Kuldip Singh was no more mediating. Justice Kuldip Singh was appointed as a mediator by the High Court to resolve the renewal of lease row between the Golf Club and the Chandigarh Administration. The High Court had earlier made it clear that it wanted the Administration and the club to put their heads together for resolving the row. Seeking directions for setting aside the order/letter issued by the Administration on November 15 and 16, last year, the club had contended that the same was totally illegal, arbitrary and discriminatory. The Administration, vide the letter, had asked the club to deposit lease money from March 16, 2008, to March 15, 2013. The amount, as per the calculations, comes out to be Rs 9, 27, 48,000. Directions were also sought by the club to extend the lease of the petitioner society either in terms of draft lease proposed by letter December 2, 2009, or on terms similar to that of the Delhi Golf Club, both in terms of lease money as well as the tenure.

Assault on mentally challenged person at RIMH Tribune News Service
Chandigarh, May 19 Dr Vani Ratman, Principal of the school, visited the Command Hospital in Panchkula today, where the 41-year-old is currently admitted and recorded the statements of his mother and the doctors who performed the life-saving surgery on him. “It is important to note that the other person who is supposed to have attacked him is not a psychiatry patient- as is being perceived by most parents. He is also suffering from mental retardation. Besides, for us, the larger issue of concern is to identify and implement ways to avoid such incidents in future,” Chavan added.
The case
On May 13, a 41-year-old inmate was attacked and sustained grievous injuries to his private parts. He was rushed to the Command Hospital (as requested by his mother) while bleeding badly.

Tame aggression: Experts
Chandigarh, May 19 “A separate institution for each category is a far-fetched solution, while staff needs to identify aggressive inmates and work rigorously towards bringing down their aggression through medication and techniques, experts said. “Given the fact that in a government setting, approval and processes consume a lot of time, some immediate solution has to be thought of here. Having separate buildings for them is a far-fetched solution,” said Dr Adarsh Kohli, consultant psychologist, PGIMER. “Rather, the staff should be involved in identifying the aggressive inmates and pay additional attention to them so that they can pacify the tendency of hurting others in them. There are a variety of techniques as well as therapies, medication for it,” she added. Meanwhile, Dr Simi Waraich, consultant psychologist, Fortis Hospital, Mohali, said, “Mental health is still very low on the priority list of decision-makers, especially in northern India. Doctors make efforts, but they are forced to restrict themselves due to unavailability of resources. Improving the strength of trained nursing staff and psychiatric social workers should be the top priority.”

Failure to solve issues close to the heart of residents led to defeat: Pawan Bansal
Former Member of Parliament Pawan
Kumar Bansal feels that residents did not vote for the overall
development and rather voted against their issues not being solved. With
15 years of stint as an MP, running across three consecutive terms, the
65 year-old vetran feels his agenda of banking on the development works
did not work wonders. Having announced to hang his boots, the old war
horse in politics speaking to Chandigarh Tribune says that he has
only announced not to contest election but will continue to be in public
life and work for the people. Excerpts.
How
do you take your defeat? The defeat is a pronounced one and decisive.
People have said that I had enough of an innings. I have announced not
to contest elections, but I will continue to be in public life. What
will be your role at the Centre or in the city politics? I have no
plans so far. It is for the central leadership to decide. The party and
the people have given me so much. It is time to pay back. People still
come to me with problems. Is the local unit of the Chandigarh
Territorial Congress Committee being changed? There is no change that I
am aware of. What led to your debacle? Failure to solve the issue
that was close to the heart of residents and influential groups What
were the issues? The core issues of the city like providing relief to
CHB allottee, allowing transfer of cooperative house building flats on
the basis of transfer fee, reducing the penalty of Rs 500 per sq yard
fine being charged from traders and no employee housing scheme remained
unsolved. I kept on taking up the issues with UT officials, but the
files were brushed under the carpet and no decisions were taken. What
was the difference between the 2009 and 2014 elections ? In 2009,
issues like transfer of flats in cooperative house building societies on
paying nominal transfer fee, allowing additional floor in rehabilitation
tenements were solved. But in 2014, the previous decisions were either
reversed or no decisions were taken by the Chandigarh Administration.
Were 10 years not enough to show results ? People stiil gave me five
more years after 2004 elections. I did make efforts to take up the issue
but was not successful in getting the results. But people want results.
The development works undertaken in the city and a number of trains
started from the city did not make any impact. Who is to blame for the
Congress debacle in the city ? I do not blame any individual. It is the
sorry state of affairs and the result of combined action of the
political parties. It is because of the false campaign in the booth scam
that no officer is ready to take decision wherever it involves financial
interest.

Better Panchkula Hina Rohtaki Tribune News Service In contrast to its image of being known as the Paris of Haryana, government schools in Panchkula present a poor picture. Chandigarh Tribune conducted a reality check in Panchkula-based government schools, which claim to provide the best of facilities to students.
Panchkula, May 19 Despite various inspections carried out by the District Legal Services Authority (DLSA) and reports sent to the Education Department and the Panchkula Administration, nothing has improved in these schools. There are no benches for children at Government Primary School, Sector 15, here. The students are being forced to take their lessons on the floor. Even, there was no proper lighting in the rooms. The students sit on the floor even in the biting cold. When asked about the poor condition in government schools, a teacher said: “What can I say? In fact the department itself doesn’t provide benches to the students of playway”. A man who prepares mid-day meal at the school, said: “My child doesn’t want to go to the school during the winters. He says he feels cold while sitting on the floor”.
Broken switches and loose hanging live wires were also found on the school premises, posing a risk to the lives of students. The broken switches had come down to such a level that any child can easily come into contact with them. At Government Primary School, Sector 19, here, girl students are asked to use a toilet at the back side of the school, which has a broken latch. “I don’t know why the government doesn’t extend any help to these schools. There is hardly any maintenance in these schools,” said local councilor Ravi Kant Swami. “Roofs of the school leak during the monsoon. It is really difficult to study in such conditions,” said a student of Government Middle School, Sector 4, Haripur, on condition of anonymity. Moss is deposited in the drinking water tank of Government Primary and Middle School, Sector 3, Devinagar. Excreta of rats, lizards in mid-day meal
The then Panchkula CJMs and secretaries of the DLSA had found excreta of rats and lizards in the mid-day meal of these students. The mid-day meal in various schools was also found to be fungus laden. A report was sent to the Panchkula administration, following which a 44-member committee was constituted. After that, the quality of mid-day meal improved to some extent. In August last year, the then CJM Jaibir Hooda had found worms and fungus-laden ration used for mid-day meal preparations in a few schools. He also found moss deposited in the drinking water tank in the primary school of Sector 15. The then CJM Sunil Chauhan had also found excreta of rats and lizards in the ration being used for preparing mid-day meal at the school in Devinagar. After several inspections by the CJMs, the administration was forced to improve the quality of the mid-day meal. Toilets in a pathetic condition
During a recent inspection by the District Legal Services Authority team at Government Middle School, Sector 4, Haripur, students were found sitting with waste construction material and a broken water tank lying nearby. The condition of
the toilets was so pathetic that the team could not even stand there for a minute. Govt school of Sector 12-A in bad condition
The condition of the government school of Sector 12-A here is very poor as four schools are being run from it. Two government primary schools (of Rally village and Sector 12-A), one middle school and one anganwadi school are being run from the same building. Over 1,000 students can be seen packed like sardines under one roof. There are only six classrooms in the school. The students end up sitting outside classrooms. WHAT student says
I have to stand outside the toilet when my friend goes inside it as its latch is almost broken. There is only one tap here.
— A student of Government Primary School, Sector 19, Panchkula WHAT officials say
I will enquire into the matter. I will also constitute teams to check the government schools on a regular basis. Action will be taken against those found guilty.~ — Savitri Sihag, District Education Officer — Ranjeeta

Shocker for PU hostel inmates
Chandigarh, May 19 As per university records, nearly 250-300 students are residing in the hostel. The members of the Student Association of India submitted a memorandum to the Dean Student Welfare today to look into the matter. Sources said for the past few months, the hostel was receiving an average electricity bill due to some technical fault. As such, the pending amount had been included in the bill this time. The official said another reason for the hefty bill was that a majority of hostellers were using electric kettles, heaters and dryers in the hostel even though several warnings had been issued to them not to do so. PU Dean Student Welfare Navdeep Goyal said, “As per rules, if the bill crosses a fixed limit, then it has to be paid by the hostellers.” “I will find out whether it is feasible to use other collections made from the hostellers for paying the bill,” he added.
