High drama at MC house meeting
Chandigarh, June 25 The high voltage drama, for the first time in the history of the MC, unfolded when Mayor Harphool Kalyan and other Congress councillors didn’t come to attend the MC House meeting and in their absence BJP’s Senior Deputy Mayor Hira Negi occupied the Mayor’s seat and started the House proceedings. The Mayor, who along with other Congress councillors was busy pacifying two Congress councilors — Satish Kainth and Darshan Garg—who were sitting on protest outside the Chief Engineer’s office, sent a message to the House through Additional Commissioner Sunil Bhatia to adjourn the House meeting. But, Bhatia, who came to the MC House along with Joint Commissioner Rajiv Gupta, without giving any reason to councillors, who were present in the House, simply said the House was adjourned for tomorrow and left the House immediately. Thereafter BJP-SAD councillors and some nominated councillors felt insulted by the way Sunil Bhatia conveyed the message, and in protest began the House proceedings. In the House. there were total 19 councillors (10 from the BJP, two from SAD, six nominated members and one from the Congress) but no officials, including the MC Commissioner and the Secretary were present. BJP’s Hira Negi who was sitting on the Mayor’s chair, took up the agendas one by one and passed eight developmental agendas of the city.
Suspend Addl Commissioner: Councillors
BJP-SAD and five nominated councillors signed a letter and demanded the suspension of MC Additional Commissioner Sunil
Bhatia. They submitted that Bhatia’s behaviour of conveying the message to
adjourn the meeting was in violation of the MC Act.
Meeting held as per the Act: Leader of Opposition
BJP councillor Arun Sood, who is the Leader of Opposition, said they waited for the Mayor for quite some time and when the Mayor did not turn up, the Senior Deputy Mayor started the House proceedings. As per the Act, the Senior Deputy Mayor has the power to hold a meeting in the absence of the Mayor. The BJP has also submitted a complaint against the Mayor to the UT Adviser, he said.
Act shameful, meeting illegal: Mayor
Mayor Harphool Kalyan said the act of BJP-SAD councillors to occupy the Mayor’s chair and begin House proceedings was shameful. Since the Mayor, the Commissioner and the Secretary were not present, therefore this so called meeting was illegal. The adjourned meeting will now be called on Thursday and all these agendas will be taken up. The BJP wanted to enjoy the powers of the Mayor. Therefore, they occupied my seat as they have not won the Mayor’s post for the last many years,” he said.

WORLD VITILIGO DAY
Chandigarh, June 25 Dermatologists said in every clinic, five to six cases came and many also rang up private doctors to know whether the disease was contagious. Dr SD Mehta, former dermatologist of GMSH-16, said, “Young women suffering from vitiligo often face rejection for wedding. These days, people come to consult me before they fix up a marriage if one or more family members of the girl suffer from vitiligo. For instance, two days ago, I found a family telling me that they selected a girl for marrying their son. The girl’s mother had vitiligo. They later found that her sister was also affected. The family sought my opinion fearing if later the girl would also develop the disease. But it is not so, these are just myths.” Dr Davinder Parsad, additional professor, department of dermatology, PGIMER, said, “Vitiligo patients are already stressed and the social stigma attached to it aggravates the stress level, increasing the damage. But the good news is that vitiligo is curable. We have cured the disease in many young patients using surgery and laser techniques. so why take stress?” Apart from oral medication, the ultraviolet therapy — narrowband (NBUVB) and UVA are methods for treatment. The phototherapy treatment has been a boon to patients in the northern region. The department also offers various surgical therapeutic options for grafting. A rickshaw rally was flagged off at PGIMER with a poster show on vitiligo messages. An information booklet on vitiligo was released. A short play on myths of vitiligo and patients sought consultation from experts. Myths about the disease
What is vitiligo Vitiligo (phulvehri) is a pigmentary disorder of cosmetic concern and social stigma in India. Patients develop single to multiple asymptomatic white spots on various parts of the body. The department runs a pigmentary clinic on every Friday for these patients. Last year, 673 new patients and 2,330 follow-up patients visited the clinic.

Rain exposes chinks in Admn preparedness
Come rains and chinks in the Administration’s combative mechanism is exposed. The authorities concerned have failed to come out with a concrete set of combative measures to check the monsoon fury and the scars rain leaves behind. The Administration’s preparedness went for a toss when rain took the city by surprise recently, inundating the city roads, snapping cable network and uprooting trees. The downpour resulted in long spells of power failure. While the showers brought a short breather from the sweltering heat, it rained miseries for the city residents in more ways than one. Stationary vehicles were damaged as trees uprooted by high-velocity winds fell on them. The rainwater entered houses in low-lying areas forcing their occupants to spend a sleepless night with no water and power supply. In such a situation, the City Beautiful presents an ugly picture. The Administration needs to chalk out a concrete combative plan and equip its men well so as to take the showery surprise head on. Piecemeal measures employed by them will not bring any tangible outcome. Ramesh K Dhiman, Chandigarh Sector 17 inferno: Better check violations before
This refers to the tragedy in which two firemen died while dousing flames at the NIELIT building in Sector 17, Chandigarh, recently. It is unfortunate that human negligence led to the building catching fire and ultimately collapsing. The owners, Trehans who had let out the building in 1979, have blamed the NIELIT for creating wooden partitions on the premises due to which the fire became uncontrollable. It is not right on the part of the owner to point the finger at his tenants now. Why did he not bring it into the notice of the authorities concerned earlier? It is almost 35 years now after the building was rented out to NIELIT. It may be mentioned that all office spaces in the city, which have been let out, have wooden partitions for the purpose of sub-letting. These partitioned rooms are so congested that it is difficult for a person to even walk comfortably let alone running for safety in an emergency. There is no place for fire tenders or firemen to enter offices situated on upper floors. It seems that even the Fire Department does not check these buildings or simply issues clearance certificates to the owners of the buildings in lieu of monetary considerations. There are gross violations of building bylaws while fire safety is compromised in such buildings. Only when a major tragedy strikes, the authorities concerned wake up and start the blame game. In the Sector 17 incident, even trees were hindering firefighting. All such illegalities and hurdles must be dealt with an iron hand and necessary safety precautions must be taken in all buildings to prevent loss of life and property. The authorities concerned should conduct periodic checks to locate such violations and penalise the offenders. RK Kapoor, Chandigarh

PU freshers prefer technology over manual assistance
Chandigarh, June 25 The parties were left out with MA courses guidance for the students as majority of the forms are now available online for various courses. In fact this year the students are not opting to use the facility of the students parties help desk to get the forms filled and submitted in the university. Students have complained, on earlier occasions, that their forms were misplaced by the party workers due to which they faced inconvenience. They decided to submit the admission forms themselves in order to save themselves from the problems later on. Even the party leaders accepted that there is steep decline in number of students seeking help at the help desk this year. One of the senior leaders of the NSUI party, former president Manoj Lubana, said in the past they usually did not get time to have their meals after the help desks were set up in the university, but now the time has changed. “Our motive to set up the help desks is only to help the students with any kind of query. We are basically here to help the MA and LLB students for admissions,” said Amninder Mann, SOPU president of the PU.
