Withdraw occupation certificate of adjoining building: MC to Estate Office
Rajinder Nagarkoti Tribune News Service
Chandigarh, June 12
The decision was taken after getting reports from engineers of the UT Administration, MC and Dr IC Sayal, former head of Punjab Engineering College’s structural engineering department and adviser of the MC’s engineering wing. In these reports, it was mentioned that the adjoining building is under an immediate serious threat as the building, which had collapsed on June 8, was part of a cluster of buildings, with every building connected with each other. Pillars, iron rods and other iron material of the adjoining building have been damaged. Besides, the concrete of the building has also fallen apart, the reports pointed out. MC Commissioner Vivek Partap Singh said the reports had highlighted that entering the building was fraught with risk. They had recommended that all safety measures should be followed before allowing any kind of activity in the adjoining building. Till that time, the occupation certificate should be withdrawn, he suggested. ADC Tanvi Garg said officials of the Estate Office would act on the basis of the building bylaws and in the coming days, the Assistant Estate Officer will take a decision in this regard. Harpal Singh Ranota, co-owner of SCO 117-118, said as there were more partners in this building, they would decide their future course of action in a day or two. He said they were in a complex situation as tenants of the buildings wanted to start their work, but the Administration had said the building was unsafe. They were yet to decide whether to repair the building or construct it afresh, but as the building was not insured, they would have to face a loss of crores or rupees, he said. Admn declares other buildings safe The UT Administration has revoked Section 144 of the CrPC imposed on the other buildings in the row of the NIELIT in Sector 17, which collapsed after a major fire broke out on June 8. However, the restriction will continue on the NIELIT and the adjoining building, which has been declared unsafe. The order, however, does not apply to police, para-military, military persons or any other government servant on official duty. 5 lakh litres of water sprayed, may weaken holding capacity of soil So far, around five lakh litres of water has been sprayed on the simmering debris, which is not being removed in a bid to ensure that the adjoining building does not suffer major damage. Experts said water was not being drained out from the site, which was seeping in the ground. The water would weaken the holding capacity of the soil, which could further result in the collapse of the adjoining building.

Ruby got furious and took the child and threw her in the village pond,” said a police official. As soon as Sukhram saw Ruby going towards the pond, he rushed behind, but by that time, she had already thrown the child into the pond. A priest in a nearby temple saw Ruby throw the child.

Sector-17 building collapse Agenda to come up in next House meeting; all political parties united on the issue Rajinder Nagarkoti Tribune News Service
Chandigarh, June 12 The agenda in this regard will come up for discussion in the next House meeting. MC Commissioner Vivek Partap Singh said in the next House meeting, they would bring the agenda for monetary compensation and a job for the victims’ kin. The MC would also request the UT Administration not to include the compensatory jobs under the 5 per cent job quota given on compassionate grounds, he said. Mayor Harphool Kalyan said the civic body would provide every possible help to the deceased’s family members. He said he would ensure that councillors of all the parties support the agenda. Congress councillor Mukesh Bassi said his party would support the proposal. Bassi said they sympathise with the victims’ families. The Congress would also demand that the MC should make a policy to deal with such cases in future, he added. The leader of Opposition in the MC, Arun Sood, said the BJP-SAD alliance had already demanded a job and compensation for the family members of each victim. Besides, they would also propose a group insurance for the firemen in the Fire Department, who put their lives at risk. Job for kin of firefighter who died in 2008 The MC will also propose to provide a job on compensatory ground to a family member of Amarjeet Singh (44), a firefighter who died while dousing fire at a house in Sector 22 in 2008. He is survived by his wife and two sons. Although the family was given a compensation of Rs 3 lakh, they are still awaiting a job. MC Commissioner Vivek Partap Singh said they would once again propose a job for Amarjeet’s family member. Job for victim fireman’s kin doubtful? While the MC will propose jobs for the family members of the Sector 17 fire incident victims, it would be difficult to provide job to a family member of Ravinder, one of the victims, as he was employed with the Air Force. Ravinder’s family members have also demanded a compensatory job from the Chandigarh Air Force station.

Nod for comprehensive cancer care centre at PGI
Chandigarh, June 12 Even as the PGIMER is currently recognised as a regional cancer centre, offering treatment to 40,000 cancer patients and involving a number of super-specialities for complete treatment, the departments are scattered as well as burdened with other responsibilities. The PGIMER registers 5,000 new cancer cases every year, while its capacity is limited to 3,000. The figure is expected to reach 10,000 by the year 2020. The comprehensive cancer care and research centre will bring different specialities — surgery, oncology, radiotherapy, paediatrics, gynaecology, neurosurgery, internal medicine and ENT –- all under one roof. The centre will also offer teaching and research. The decision was recently taken at a meeting of the PGIMER’s Standing Academic Committee. “The PGIMER cancer centre needs to have its own building, outdoor and operating facilities. It will also have teaching facilities to produce trained manpower for different specialities of oncology. The centre will also be involved in the research of various aspects of cancer and its treatment,” the committee noted in its report. The proposal will now seek a final approval and grant from the governing body chaired by Union Health Minister Dr Harsh Vardhan. The meeting is expected to be scheduled in August this year. A detailed five-year plan with year-wise development of the cancer centre has also been presented in the proposal. Patients at receiving end Sample this: A patient diagnosed with multiple myeloma (blood cancer) first goes to the Internal Medicine Department, then undergoes bone marrow transplant and is referred to the Haematology Department. He follows up on medicines. A patient diagnosed with breast cancer first goes to the General Surgery Department and is then recommended mammography in the Radio-Diagnosis Department. The surgery date gets prolonged due to the waiting list. Post-surgery, the patient follows up in the Radiotherapy Department. All these departments are isolated and spread out across 277 acres on the PGIMER campus.
Facilities to be provided at cancer centre Patient care Medical oncology, bone marrow transplant, paediatric oncology (for children), palliative care (for patients at end-stage cancer), preventive oncology (early detection), psycho-social counselling (motivation of cancer patients), anaesthesia, CT scan and MRI, laboratories (biopsy), tumour registry, day-care facility.

Dehydration, lack of hygiene up diarrhoea cases in region
Chandigarh, June 12 PGI experts said in India, one diarrhoea death was occurring among children every minute these days. “Two days ago, we received a two-month-old baby suffering from extreme dehydration. Parents need to be careful about maintaining hygiene at home,” said Dr BR Thapa, Department of Paediatric Gastroenterology, PGIMER. Recommended homemade fluids are lime water, rice water, lassi, dal water, coconut water and a solution prepared by adding two finger pinch salt and a tea spoonful of sugar to 200 ml of water. Precautionary measures * Acute diarrhoea is a preventable disease. Administration of homemade fluids/ORS can prevent dehydration. This is possible if parents are aware of the causes and precautions for the disease. * Exclusive breast feeding till six months of birth reduces diarrhoea-related mortality. * Vitamin A supplements can prevent the diarrhoeal episode. * Domestic measures like maintenance of personal hygiene, proper storage of water, proper disposal of excreta and waste of the house can prevent diarrhoea. * Washing hands with soap and water is very important. * Food handler’s hygiene is also very important to check the occurrence of diarrhoea. * Water should be stored in clean containers having small mouth with tap to dispense water.

Proposal for setting up fire station in Zirakpur goes down the drain
Zirakpur, June 12 The fire incident at the National Institute of Electronics and Information Technology building in Sector 17, Chandigarh, which claimed two lives, seems to have failed to wake up the Punjab Government from slumber and rethink for setting up the fire station here. Keeping in view the population of the area growing by leaps and bounds, municipal councillors on August 7, 2012 had passed a resolution in the full house for setting up the fire station. The civic body authorities had reportedly sent a proposal to the government but it failed to materialise till date. The MC had proposed the fire station with one post of fire officer, two posts of fire tender, four posts of driver, accessory and other equipment. A budget of Rs 1.5 crore was also estimated for the fire station apart from the monthly salaries of the staff, said sources in the MC. Currently, a fire station at Dera Bassi is catering to Zirakpur, Dera Bassi, Lalru and other parts of the sub-division, including industrial units in Mubarikpur, Dera Bassi, Dappar and Lalru. “With the population reaching nearly 1.20 lakh and scores of multi-storeyed buildings coming up here in the past one decade, the Zirakpur MC desperately needs an independent and well-equipped fire station to meet any urgency,” said Sunil Bandha, a Zirakpur-based real estate consultant. Rotarian Bhupinder Singh Saini, a resident of Dera Bassi, said not only Zirakpur, but also Dera Bassi, Lalru and the surrounding areas have witnessed a huge development in the past. There were instances when the local fire station had to call machinery and equipment (Dera Basi is not having) from Mohali and ammunition depot, Dappar.” Parminder Singh, executive officer, Zirakpur Municipal Council, said the proposal for the fire station was ready and it would be resubmitted to the government soon. Manjit Singh, station fire officer, Dera Bassi, claimed to have enough manpower and machinery with him. “Our firemen are even helping the neighbouring fire stations in various fire extinguishing operations often”.

Mohali, June 12 The chemists are upset as the police on their own, without any drug inspector or other such authority, have been conducting raids at their shops. “We are not against the checking of our stock but the drug inspector of the area or other such authority should accompany the police at that time,” said HS Bhatia, president of the Mohali District Chemists Association.

Fountain ponds need immediate attention
I have noticed children drinking dirty water that flows into the fountain area from the pipes around the circular walls of the pond. Mothers accompanying their children can also be seen helping them in drinking this dirty water. There is a fountain in the middle of Shrub Garden in Sector 46C where everyday I have to tell children and their mothers that the water flowing into the fountain and the pond is not fit for consumption. But the practice continues unabated. There are a number of such parks with fountains in the City Beautiful and the practice of drinking dirty water must be prevalent there also. This may result into infections in children. The MC should install notice boards at fountains and all entry/exit points of parks/gardens informing the public that the water of the fountain(s) is not fit for drinking purpose. The lightening system at the bottom of the fountains is also non-functional for several years. RK Kapoor, Chandigarh Bus shelter need of the hour at Badheri Hundreds of persons commute from Badheri local bus stop to various destinations in the city daily by the local buses. But there is no shelter at the Badheri bus stop. In the absence of a bus shelter, people face difficulties as they have to stand in the sizzling heat and incessant rains. The Welfare Association MIG-I Houses, Sector 40C, Chandigarh, has already sent a number of letters to the departments concerned in this regard. The Area Councillor of Ward No. 9 (Sectors 39-40) has also taken up the issue. A large number of bus shelters have been constructed in the city in the recent past under the BOT Scheme, but Badheri, which desperately needs a bus shelter, has been left out. The authorities concerned should construct a “pucca” bus stand at Badheri so that the people, especially senior citizens and students, who board buses from this place, heave a sigh of relief.
