overcharging Anupam Bhagria Tribune News Service
Ludhiana, August 12 Talking to The Tribune, Anil Garg, District Transport Officer, Ludhiana, said: “There were many complaints of overcharging by the staff of the authorised agency. I sent a report to the State Transport Commissioner, Punjab, and got the extension counters of this agency closed. The agency was running three extension counters at Dana Mandi, Khanna and at one more place in the district. The company was also issuing these high number plates through some selected automobile dealers. Many customers complained of overcharging by dealers. So, I ordered that no plates will be issued at the extension counters and through selected dealers. Now, these number plates are issued by this company only at the DTO’s office.” There are more than 1.6 lakh vehicle owners in the district who are still to get the high security number plates. Following the directions of the Supreme Court, the Punjab Government made it mandatory to have high security registration plates on vehicles in the state on May 1, 2012. The government awarded the work M/S Agros Impex (I) Private Limited, a New Delhi-based company. Meanwhile, the State Transport Commissioner, Punjab, said the government had approved rates for these registration plates. If anyone is overcharged, he can send his complaint to the DTO (District Transport Officer) or email it to astc.punjabi1@gmail.com.

Fogging claims reek of scam
Ludhiana, August 12 According to information, the MC has around 14 fogging machines, which are sent to wards daily, especially during the rainy season. The MC provides 90 litres of diesel to each big machine daily. Besides, it provides five litres of petrol to 75 portable machines. Apart from that, diesel is provided to tractor-trailers on which the big fogging machines are kept. The Congress councillor from Ward Number 35, Sushma Mehta, said though a proper fogging schedule was sent by the department, fogging had not been started in her area. “I have not seen any fogging machine in the area since August 1. The portable machines, one for each ward, are seldom used while the staff concerned claim diesel and petrol expenses on a regular basis. Fogging has not been done even once in the area. Mosquitoes have started breeding in the ward at an alarming proportion,” said Mehta. Inder Aggarwal, BJP councilor, said a fogging machine was sent to his ward once in 15 or 20 days. “I have requested them to at least send the machine once a week. The breeding of mosquitoes has become a cause of concern for the local residents,” said Aggarwal. Meanwhile, the Inspector of Zone A, Ravi Sharma, said there were three big machines for both in Zone A and B and proper fogging schedule was followed. However, no record of machines sent to areas is maintained by the department. The Inspector said they randomly checked the fogging schedule. Meanwhile, residents feel if the fogging schedule was followed religiously, then there would have been no dengue threat in the city every monsoon. Rekha Kumari, a resident of an area near Haibowal, said no fogging had been done in her area to date. Facts say it all
No record
No record of machines sent to areas is maintained by the department. When asked how they maintained a record of whether a machine had reached a particular area or not, an Inspector said they randomly checked the fogging schedule |
