City asphyxiates as green cover vanishes
Ludhiana, June 17 For the ‘convenience’ of the public, a park in the Model Town area is being converted into a parking lot. A letter has been written by Hira Singh Gabria to the MC Commissioner stating that in the absence of parking space, traffic jams occur in the Model Town market and the public had to face inconvenience. As there was no designated parking space in the market, visitors avoided visiting the place and the shopkeepers had to suffer losses. “The park in Gol Market should be converted into a parking lot,” the letter read. Following this, a letter was written by the Assistant Commissioner (Technical) Zone D, B and R, stating that a legal opinion should be sought. The legal adviser asked questions: “Whether the park was being used by the public? Whether the MC was paying the maintenance cost of the public park? To which the Executive Engineer of the Horticulture Department replied that a report on April 3, 2014, had confirmed that the park was being taken care of by a gardener who was being paid by the MC. The legal adviser in his report said orders should be issued by the competent authority. The Assistant Commissioner recommended to send the case to the Finance and Contracts Committee of the MC. What the SC says? As per orders of the Supreme Court (given in case of Machavarapu Srinivasa Rao and Another versus The Vijaywada, Guntar, Tenali, Manglagiri Urban Development Authority and others – civil appeal number 7935 of 2011 dated September 19, 2011), “Once the master plan or the zonal development plan is approved by the state government, no one, including the state government/development authority, can use a plot for any purpose other than the one specified therein. There is no provision under which the development authority can sanction construction of a building or use of land for a purpose other than the one specified in the master plan/zonal development plan. The power vested in the development authority to make modification in the development plan is also not unlimited. It cannot make important alterations in the character of the plan.

Municipal Corporation ‘bends’ rules
Ludhiana, June 17 It is learnt that the Municipal Corporation has given the contract of maintenance of a tubewell to one of its sanitation workers, who comes under 70 per cent safai sewak category and is getting salary on DC rates. Since the contractor is “close” to one of the functionaries of the civic body, no one dares to scrap his contract. Amit Kumar, a resident of Lakshmi Puri, Salem Tabri, sought information from the Assistant Public Information Officer-cum-Assistant Engineer, Operations and Maintenance (O and M), Zone A, MC, under the RTI Act. It was learnt that at ward number 25, six tubewells were being run by contractors.

Zonal Commissioner Kamlesh Bansal said an employee or worker with the MC could not be given the contract of the tubewell or any other thing. “This is against the MC rules”, said Bansal. An “undertaking” has been submitted by the safai sewak to the civic body on this issue. Tomorrow, every other worker will give an undertaking.

Tough guy goes soft on drug addicts
Ludhiana, June 17 Many addicts are suffering severe withdrawal symptoms due to the unavailability of drugs. Families of the addicts are also going through a harrowing time. In some cases, family members have approached the police to go soft on the drug mafia as it has jacked up the price of contraband. Sources said the matter was brought to the notice of Police Commissioner RK Jaiswal following which he had instructed police officials to identify the addicts and send them to the de-addiction centre. Confirming the development, Jaiswal said Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime) MS Dhesi and ADCP-I AS Pawar had been told to send the addicts to the de-addiction centres. The Police Commissioner also arranged a meeting with Deputy Commissioner (DC) Rajat Aggarwal and officials of the health department to discuss the matter. “They (addicts) are a part of our society. They have the right to live, like all of us. Their only mistake was that they had strayed. We should make a sincere effort to help them leave the menace and live a healthy life,” said Jaiswal. At present, the de-addictions centres at the Civil Hospital receive four to five patients every day. Barring a few, the centres being run by private hospitals are mere eyewash. Police sources said the private hospitals were not keen on treating the addicts belonging to economically weaker sections as it was not going to generate profit. “Drug peddlers, who are also addicts, suffer from severe withdrawal syndrome in police custody. They urge us to arrange drugs. It is difficult for us to deal with such a situation,” said a police official. Number game It has come to light that instead of taking action against drug peddlers, the police had arrested drug addicts to jack up the number of NDPS cases. Fearing arrests, the addicts went into hiding. Sources said the Police Commissioner came to know about it and directed the officials not to take action against the addicts. |

Residents demand ROB on Pohir, Jagera road
Our Correspondent
Mandi Ahmedgarh, June 17 They said Dhulkot road should be repaired immediately so that recently constructed underbridge at Ghungrana could be used by people commuting between the town and Ludhiana. Justifying demands raised by the residents, local BJP and SAD leaders have constituted a committee headed by former state president of Bhartiya Yuva Morcha and SAD leader Jagwant Singh Jaggie, which will coordinate with authorities in Union Government to get an ROB sanctioned. Regretting that elected representatives of the segments had failed to get the long pending demand accepted due to lack of coordination among local leaders Sita Gogna, president of local unit of BJP, said a 10-member committee had been constituted which would take the issue to a conclusive end. “Unlike earlier steps which were proved futile we will attach a recommendation letter from local legislator Iqbal Jhoondan, state BJP president Kamal Sharma and BJP leader in legislative party Bhagat Chui Lal, with representations to be received from various social, business and constitutional bodies,” said Sita Gogna, adding a delegation led by Ashutosh Vinayak will soon leave for Delhi. Residents rued that activists of various organisations of the Gill constituency had succeeded in getting an underbridge constructed near Ghungrana village in Ludhiana district, while local leaders of the town irrespective of their political allegiance were busy in appeasing their masters. The Ghungrana bridge, which could have been a boon for people commuting between the local town and Ludhiana, has proven to be of no use for the residents as the only approach road leading to Ghungrana road is in dilapidated condition and people are scared of commuting on the road during night. Frequent and undue closure of level crossings at the Pohir and Jagera roads here, has not only become a nightmare for motorists but also for residents, shopkeepers and pedestrians who suffer due to traffic jams on both the roads. The residents alleged that the officials cared a little for the rule governing operation of level crossings. They alleged that there had been frequent scuffles with the railway employees, manning the level crossing, over the issue of closure of gate for longer durations. All pleas to higher authorities in the administration and the department of railways regarding the issue had fallen on deaf ears. Frequent closure of level crossings has resulted in a situation wherein residents of nearby localities have stopped visiting the town for making routine purchases. |
