Suicide by Dy Director (Vocational), education dept Incident exposes tall claims regarding extensive patrolling at Sukhna Lake Aneesha Sareen Tribune News Service
Chandigarh, June 4
On May 28, the police had fished out the body of a call centre executive from the lake. Kalawati, alias Kirti (20), had sent a text message before jumping into the lake to her friend. Police sources said there were just 14 police personnel posted for round-the-clock security at the lake, which made it difficult for them to patrol the almost 3-km-long stretch. The UT police have also been provided with golf carts for extensive patrolling at the lake, but even these have failed to prevent incidents of suicides. Moreover, a number of steps taken in the past to prevent suicides at the lake seem to have been forgotten. A few years ago, the UT police had started cycle patrolling at the lake to check incidents of suicide. The patrolling team was packed with high-power torches, life jackets and wireless sets so that valuable time could be saved and timely and faster help could be given. DSP Ashish Kapoor said it was difficult to man the entire stretch of the lake, more so during night hours. “However, we are taking steps to prevent incidents of suicides with intensive patrolling,” he said High drama as family objects to being photographed * High drama was witnessed at Government Multi-Speciality Hospital in Sector 16 after Vinod Kumar’s family, including his wife Vijay Kumari and younger son Raveesh, accompanied by their relatives, objected to mediapersons clicking their photographs. Wanting to be left alone in their grief, one of the relatives of the family slapped a photographer who was clicking their photographs. This resulted in a ruckus as the relatives and photographers indulged in a minor scuffle. Vinod Kumar’s wife hid her face and was later taken to the Emergency as she felt uneasy. * Vinod Kumar, who was recently involved in a controversy of violating rules for purchase of textbooks for libraries, had jumped into the lake on Tuesday. The police had fished out his body at 11.15 am. His body was identified this morning by his wife and son. Vinod was suffering from depression.

Excise Dept, manufacturers fail to agree on liquor prices
Chandigarh, June 4 Till the EDP is not approved by the department, different brands of liquor cannot be sold in the city. A meeting between excise officials and manufacturers failed to sort out the rate issue. Excise Commissioner Mohammed Shayin said efforts were being made to sort out the issue at the earliest. “It is only after the EDP is approved that other taxes such as VAT, excise duty and licence fee are added to calculate the landing cost of different brands of liquor,” said another official. Assistant Excise and Taxation Commissioner RC Bhalla said labels of only those brands were being approved the rates of which were on a par with the EDP rates in Punjab. To break the old practice of the manufacturers increasing the EDP at their will, the department has, in the new policy, decided to approve only those labels where the EDP has been kept on a par with that in Punjab. Over the past seven years, the UT Excise and Taxation Department had been “systematically” allowing liquor manufacturers an upper hand in annually increasing the EDP of different brands of liquor by over 45 per cent. This resulted in prices of different brands of liquor rising over the years. All the while, the same brands of liquor were being sold at comparatively cheaper rates in Punjab and Haryana.In the past, UT officials had never adopted the practice of asking the manufacturers to give an affidavit stating that they were supplying the liquor at the lowest price. Incidentally, a number of popular brands of the IMFL are being bottled by two bottling plants in Chandigarh. The same thing had happened in June last year. As the EDP was not fixed on time, wholesalers started selling liquor without paying the 12.5 per cent VAT to the UT Excise and Taxation Department.

Today is World Environment Day RSPM levels continue to be above the permissible limit Ritika Jha Palial Tribune News Service
Chandigarh, June 4 Against the permissible limit of an RSPM level of 60, the threshold till which the human body can resist problems (allergies and others), the levels have turned out to be much higher in all five zones since 2009 till December 2013. Due to the increased RSPM levels, allergies, respiratory problems as well as frequent illness and heart problems have increased among residents, say experts. “We alone are responsible for it. Other than natural remedies such as dense green belts, the unusually high number of vehicles plying on city roads is the biggest preventable cause for it. Channelling traffic and avoiding choking can also help control pollution,” said member secretary of the Chandigarh Pollution Control Committee PJS Dadwal.Pulmonary experts say these pollutants have been affecting the health of children in particular, leading to problems such as asthma and chronic cough. “You may have often seen people getting chronic cough as they frequently catch infection. It is important not to ignore these problems,” says Dr SK Jindal, who recently retired as the Head, Department of Pulmonary Medicine at the PGI. Dr Yashpaul Sharma, Head of the Department of Cardiology, PGI, warns that besides a sedentary lifestyle, enviormnental problems have been fast resulting in cardio-vascular diseases among residents. “The number of heart attack cases reported in our department have doubled in the past decade. While not all cases relate to envriomental pollution, factors such as noise and smoke have been affecting our body severely,” he said.

No paediatrician at Civil Hospital
Mohali, June 4 According to Dr Andesh Kang, chief medical officer of the hospital, one paediatrician has resigned from her post while the other has gone on long leave from April 30. Dr Kang admitted that there was no paediatrician at the hospital right now. However, hospital had made temporary arrangements. A paediatrician from Kharar and Dera Bassi hospital will visit the hospital for three days each. And interviews are being conducted to recruit a paediatrician. Notably several cases of child delivery come at the hospital. “In absence of any child specialist, the parents of new born babies are a harassed lot. In case of some emergency, they have to rush to private doctors,” said a staff member on the condition of anonymity. Besides, several parents of small kids, who need treatment, use to return from the hospital. “The hospital caters to poor strata so these people could not afford the hefty fees of private doctors,” said a patient at the hospital. According to data available, three deliveries take place every day on an average. In February as many as 148 deliveries took place in the hospital the number of such cases in March, April and May was 107, 93 and 81, respectively.

City Beautiful struggles to quench its thirst
With summer at its peak, low water pressure is giving sleepless nights to residents. Already short of 29 million gallons of water per day, the Municipal Corporation is struggling to meet the demand. Chandigarh Tribune gives an insight into the present state of affairs on the water supply scenario in the city Amit Sharma Tribune News Service
Chandigarh, June 4
The city gets its major share of water from Kajauli Waterworks. Chandigarh draws 67 MGD of surface water from Kajauli Waterworks Phases I, II, III and IV, while the remaining 20 MGD is drawn from 207 tubewells. To meet the increasing demand of water, the Municipal Corporation (MC) has mulled 38 new tubewells, which will provide an additional 7.5 MGD of water. However, concerns are being expressed on the falling water table, which would lead to further problems as the tubewells would be rendered as showpieces. The problem does not end here as the civic body has to provide 6 MGD water to Panchkula and 3 MGD to Chandimandir, which has not been provided till date. This is because the pipelines have not been laid. As soon as the pipelines are laid, Chandigarh will lose 9 MGD water, which is likely to worsen the scenario further, thereby leading to acute water scarcity. The shortage of water in summers also leads to low water pressure on the upper floors of marla houses in the city. To meet the increasing demand of water, Chandigarh has no option but to draw water from Kajauli Waterworks Phases V and VI. Distribution of water * The city has been divided into 6 zones for the purpose of water supply. * Each of these zones is fed through independent water works in Sectors 52, 37, 32, 26 and 12, Mani Majra I and II. * These waterworks are fed by the Main waterworks in Sector 39. This receives canal water from Kajauli. Wastage due to leakage in pipes * Nearly 20 per cent of the total drinking water is wasted every day due to leakage in the water pipelines, both internal and main pipelines, that have not been changed for the past few decades. * One-fourth of the available water goes down the drain due to leakages. Out of the 87 MGD water that the city receives every day, around 16-17 MGD water is wasted due to leakages.

City’s North gulps more as South suffers
Chandigarh, June 4 The imbalance in the usage of water is one of the major challenges faced by the Municipal Corporation. A detailed study conducted by the civic body’s engineering wing has revealed that the posh sectors use somewhere between 934 litres to 1,376 litres of water, per person, per day. Surprisingly, the consumption of water remains the same throughout the year. High water consumption per day has been reported in Sectors 2, 3, 5 and 9. The southern sectors use far less water compared to the posh sectors in the north. The consumption of water in Sector 56 is 138 litres per person per day. Civic body officials attributed the high consumption of potable water in the posh sectors to the watering of spacious lawns, besides washing cars which are aplenty. “The MC provides a connection for the supply of tertiary water to one-kanal houses at a monthly charge of ~50. Likewise, ~100 is charged for two-kanal houses. However, not many house owners have secured these connections,” said a MC official. Interestingly, residents in some villages are consuming water even below the national norm of 135 litres per person per day. The need to curtail usage of water has been raised by the civic body officials. This can be achieved by increasing the tariff for the higher slabs.
Treatment of water * The raw water from Kajauli reaches Sector 39, where it is treated. While 70 million gallons is treated at Sector 39,
5 million gallons is treated at Sector 12. * Alum is added to the water to collect the dissolved particles that can be weeded out. After floculation, sedimentation is carried out so that the impurities settle down. Thereafter, filtration is conducted. This is followed by chlorination to ensure that the bacteria are removed.

Punjab-Haryana row has city at receiving end
Tribune News Service
Chandigarh, June 4 The water is drawn from the Bhakra main canal that reaches village Kajauli, from where it is further distributed to Chandigarh, Punjab and Haryana. Chandigarh depends primarily on Kajauli Waterworks to meet its water requirement. While some amount of water is received through tubewells, there is no other source of water generation in the city. At present, the augmentation of water supply in Chandigarh is stalled due to a dispute between the two states. A few years ago, Chandigarh had prepared a proposal for the Augmentation of Water Supply Scheme, Phases V and VI. However, the project could not see the light of the day as the Punjab government — which had agreed to allow Chandigarh draw 40 million gallons per day (MGD) of water — refused the same stating that they would use Phases V and VI to draw water for Punjab, while Chandigarh would be supplied water through Phases VII and VIII. Since the land available for the laying of pipelines is limited, it was decided that instead of four separate phases, pipelines of larger diameter could be laid in Phase V and VI, to cater to the water needs of both Punjab and Chandigarh. The structure for the pumping chamber has taken shape at Kajauli Waterworks with the framework almost complete. Simultaneously, pipelines are also being laid on a land strip — which is 50 feet wide — extending from Kajauli Waterworks to the boundary of Punjab and Chandigarh. However, till date, the dispute over water sharing between Punjab and Haryana has not been resolved. As such, there is no decision on the release of water from both phases of Kajauli. The city will receive water from Kajauli Phase V and VI only after the governments of Punjab and Haryana reach a consensus over the distribution of water.

PGI gears up to mark No-Honking Day
Chandigarh, June 4 The School of Public Health, PGIMER, will mark ‘No-Honking Day’ in coming months by reaching out to residents and commuters in city through educators, police and other agencies to ensure that on the given day no horns are heard in the city. Dr Ravindra Khaiwal, assistant professor, School of Public Health, PGIMER, who specialises in environmental health, highlighted that increase in noise pollution can cause both short-term as well as long-term psychological and physiological disorders. He mentioned that there are sufficient scientific evidences that exposure to high noise levels can induce hearing impairment, hypertension, ischemic heart disease, annoyance, sleep disturbance, and decrease in concentration. To reduce the health impact of noise pollution and to generate awareness, we are planning to mark a no horn day in the city, said Dr Khailwal. It has been reported that maximum noise is generated by transportation systems and it contributes about 55 per cent to the total noise pollution. As per figures available with the Chandigarh Registering and Licensing Authority (RLA), as on date, close to 9 lakh vehicles are registered in the city. These include all varieties of vehicles. Since 1996 till 2013, about 2 lakh cars and jeeps have been registered. The number of two-wheelers, registered during the period was nearly 3 lakhs. “Chandigarh is a well planned and educated city. By carrying out such initiatives here, we can set examples for the country. Also, the high vehicular density in Chandigarh in proportion to its total area is a considerable factor when we measure noise pollution caused due to honking,” said Dr Khaiwal. The contrast in noise levels will be noted on regular Days and on No-Honking day.

Doon MLA hatched the conspiracy: ACP Sangwan
Investigating officer ACP Virender Sangwan was earlier accused of favouring MLA Ram Kumar Chaudhary during the probe Hina Rohtaki Tribune News Service
Panchkula, June 4
Sangwan also informed the court that the mobile locations of all the accused matched with that of Jyoti on the day of crime. The ACP, who supported the prosecution, told the court that the last call on Jyoti’s phone was made at 9.15 pm on the day of incident and the mobile’s location was in Zirakpur. This was also mentioned in the statements of the accused. Sangwan also stated that the mobile locations, as found by him with the help of the Cyber Cell, showed that all the accused, namely the MLA, Gurmeet, Dharampal and Paramjeet, were in touch with each other while Jyoti was being taken to various places. He said the MLA had obtained certain numbers on fake as well as genuine IDs with the help of some mobile traders. “Sangwan would now be cross-examined tomorrow. The actual facts would surface during the cross-examination,” said defence counsel Amandeep Bindra. It may be recalled that after Jyoti’s father Buti Ram had alleged that Sangwan was favouring the MLA in the probe and not doing fair investigations, a Special Investigation Team (SIT) was constituted. The three-member SIT was headed by Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Ashwin Shenvi with two ACPs as its members. The matter went to the Punjab and Haryana High Court after the father levelled similar allegations and sought the case be shifted to a separate agency. Meanwhile, Sangwan was also transferred to the CID wing. The case Doon MLA Ram Kumar Chaudhary and four others are accused of killing Jyoti, who hailed from Bhunga village in Hoshiarpur. The victim was found murdered in Sector 21, Panchkula. The police chargesheet stated that since Jyoti was coming in the way of Chaudhary’s political career, he eliminated her with the help of aides. First, Jyoti was strangulated and then a truck was run over her to show that it was an accident.

GMADA to impose 12.36% tax on various services
Mohali, June 4 The imposition of service tax will be with retrospective effect from July 1, 2012. The GMADA will be imposing service tax on legal fee payable to advocates, tower installation, income from rent of STD booths and others, income from community centres, lease money, consulting fee, miscellaneous receipts, processing fee, transfer fee and RTI document fee. However, then service tax will be 3.09 per cent in the case of built-up property i.e. built-up booths and the Purab Apartments. Reacting to the GMADA’s decision, the chairman of Mohali Property Consultants Association Shailender Anand said levying service tax from a back date was totally unjustified and would lead to disputes. Moreover, the tax percentage was very high, which would put a heavy fiscal burden on property buyers, he added. Anand said earlier, the transfer fee was two per cent of the cost of the plot. The new figure of 12.36 per cent was far too big a hike, he added.

Special classes for summative assessments Mehakdeep Grewal Tribune News Service
Chandigarh, June 4 The department had issued the orders to all government and government-aided school heads after the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) had issued a circular on May 1. The circular stated that the students of Class IX would be given one more special chance to improve their performance in the assessment examination. However, a cursory look at the affairs proved that the majority of the schools were not holding any classes for the students. According to information, a large number of students, nearly 50 per cent, had failed to clear their first special chance examination held in April. Out of the 85 government schools, only seven schools have got 100 per cent results. Earlier in May, parents and students had held a protest demanding that the schools should conduct special classes for the students who would be availing the re-test chance. However, all requests have fallen on deaf ears. Meanwhile, when principals from government schools were contacted on the matter, they took refuge in the contention that due to the onset of summer vacations no classes were being held. Officials from the Education Department claimed that they had given clear instructions to the school heads. However, due to their apathy the students were suffering. Some principals claimed that they had held special classes for students in May. Meanwhile, students alleged that the special classes were a mere eyewash. A student requesting anonymity said: “No special guidance or classes are being provided to us. However, earlier when we had staged a protest we were assured by the Education Department that the classes would be held.” The worst-performing schools in the Class IX results were Government Senior Secondary School, Kaimbwala, where only 4 per cent of students had passed; Government High School, Hallo Majra (only 11 per cent); and in Government High School, Mauli Colony, only 18 per cent students had managed to pass the exam. Nearly 16 government schools had less than 50 per cent pass results. According to CBSE directions, a student would have to obtain at least 25 per cent marks in summative assessments and total 33 per cent in each of the five subjects to be eligible to qualify for the examination.
