The city topper wants to pursue his medical degree from the All-India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS).

The water was to be supplied till 8 am. However, the residents of many sectors complained the taps went dry almost 45 minutes before scheduled time.

Bariatric surgery catching up in tricity
A recent PGIMER study has found bariatric surgery scoring over intensive medical treatment among obese patients. In persons having body mass index above 32.5 along with lifestyle diseases like diabetes, bariatric surgery is a successful method to improve quality and longevity of life — against common weight loss measures, the study finds. A total of 31 obese patients (from the northern region) were involved in the study. They were divided into two groups of 14 and 17. The group of 17 patients was treated with medical therapy for weight loss while 14 patients underwent surgery. The study finds in patients undergoing weight loss surgery, “There was resolution of diabetes and hypertension in 36% and 29% patients, respectively, while none in the other group (which followed therapy for weight loss) showed improvement. There was also improvement in quality of life in people undergoing surgery.” The study titled, “Efficacy of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy and intensive medical management in obese patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus”, was published in the international journal, “Obesity Surgery-Springer”, this month. The study was conducted by the Department of General Surgery, PGIMER. In the PGIMER, 51 patients have undergone the surgery so far. Of these, 44 were women. In Max Hospital, Mohali, where the concept is new, six patients have opted for it while in the Fortis hospital, Mohali, nearly 30 patients have undergone the surgery in the past two years.
No shortcut to weight loss
“Those who are recommended the surgery need counselling and have to be mentally prepared to adhere to strict diet control as well as fitness regimen, both before and after the surgery,” said Dr Rajinder Singh, Head, Department of Surgery, PGIMER. Those having body mass index (BMI) above 37 are recommended the surgery if they are free from other diseases like diabetes. If a diabetic has BMI above 32, he or she can undergo the surgery.

Selja group boycotts Cong workers’ meet
Panchkula, June 7 The meeting of party workers was held at the Inderdhanush Auditorium in Sector 5 here. Led by All India Congress Committee (AICC) member Pratap Chaudhary, almost 100 members, including Mukesh Malhotra, a former district president of the Congress and a supporter of Selja, lodged a strong protest against certain remarks made by Ravinder Rawal, a former president of Panchkula Municipal Council. Raising slogans, members of the Selja group, including women, left the venue alleging that they were not given time to speak from the dais. Pratap Chaudhary alleged that the review meeting had turned into a “government meeting’ where no party worker was allowed to speak. “Even after a five-hour-long meeting, neither the relevant issues were taken up nor they (members of the Selja group) were given time to express their views,” he claimed. “We are Congress men by birth. Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and Kumari Selja are our leaders,” he claimed. Malhotra alleged that Rawal accused them of being backstabbers from a public stage and that too in front of Tanwar and the CM. “We all are working for the party for the last 25 to 50 years and the newcomers are pointing fingers at us,” he said. While talking to the Tribune, Tanwar claimed to have taken a serious view of the entire ‘drama’.

Poor infrastructure plagues Sector 28
Infrastructure is in a pathetic state in Sector 28-D, Chandigarh. The pavements in the market area are disrupted, leading to unauthorised parking for the repair of vehicles. Restaurants such as Pal Dhaba and other roadside eateries are at the receiving end as dust and smoke from vehicles near the 27/28 light point enters the eating joints. Youths indulge in triple riding and zoom past at high speed on the main sector road, while posing a threat to their lives and those of others. The sweepers and staff engaged to clean the area are not carrying out their duty well. The area is unhygienic and dirty. The newly elected MP of Chandigarh, Kirron Kher, should look into the issue and address the problem at the earliest. Col (Retd) Navkesh Singh, Chandigarh Poor school results: Onus on teachers, Admn
After going through the results of Class XII, one can have an idea about the dismal scenario of school education in government schools in UT. Barring Government Senior Secondary School, Mani Majra, almost all model and non-model government schools in Chandigarh have registered poor results in Class XII examinations. As many as 1,925 out of 10, 184 students failed the examination, while 1,428 students got compartment. The overall pass result registered this year remained 75.41 per cent, much below the overall pass percentage of last year, when government schools registered 86.91 per cent. The issue has become a cause of concern for parents. Due to this, parents prefer to enroll their children in private schools, where they end up paying exorbitant fees. In a majority of government schools, infrastructure is poor. Science laboratories are ill-equipped and there are no computers or libraries. Some school buildings are in a dilapidated condition with no black boards, clean drinking water and toilets. Absenteeism is another major problem. There seems to be no monitoring mechanism to make teachers accountable. The security of service with perks has become a hindrance to endorse discipline among teachers. What use are the Punishment and Appeal Rules, if they are only on paper? In addition to qualitative improvement in the methods and practices of teaching, there needs to be special focus on improving the personality of students by encouraging extra-curricular activities in schools. Teachers need to create a lively and stress-free environment so that learning becomes a pleasure. SK

PU has no vacant seat to make Kirron Kher a Senate member?
Chandigarh, June 7 Sources said as per the PU calendar, there are six ex-officio members of the Senate which includes the Chief Minister and Education Minister of Punjab, DPI Punjab, Advisor and DPI, UT, and Chief Justice of the Punjab and Haryana High Court. Besides this, for the past two years, the Chancellor of the university has nominated the Dean Student Welfare, Dean University Instructions, President PUTA and President of the Non-Teaching Staff Association as members of the Senate. While the PU calendar is silent about the MP as an ex-officio member or any provision through which, in the mid of the Senate term, the person could be nominated as its member. The teaching and non-teaching representatives today gave a representation to Panjab University Vice Chancellor that the new MP Kirron Kher should be nominated to the Senate by the Chancellor. They requested the VC office to find out a way to nominate Kher as a member of the Senate for the all-round development of the university and to get maximum assistance from the Central government. Records of the university revealed that in 1996 — when BJP senior leader Satpal Jain was elected as MP of the city — there was no vacant post in the Senate. After three months, when the former Vice Chancellor Prof MM Puri — who was also a Senate member — became VC of the university, Jain was appointed as a Senate member. When contacted, Jain said, “The Chancellor should include the Member of Parliament in the list of nominees to avoid such an unsavoury situation in future.”
