Debate continues on delayed general house
Ludhiana, August 31 One of the BJP councillors put the entire blame on the Mayor, Harcharan Singh Gohalwaria, for delaying the general house meeting. “There is no vision, no planning and development in the city has come to a standstill in the absence of funds. We have to face angry residents of our wards. The mayor and the municipal Commissioner should also face the councillors at a general house meeting. For how long will they escape from the reality? Most councillors are up in the arms against poor planning,” said the BJP councillor. The SAD councillor from ward number 59, Tanvir Singh Dhaliwal, said residents had every right to confront the councilors. “Being elected representatives, we are bound to answer their questions. We have requested the Mayor to convene the general house to make the things clear for both the councillors and the general public,” said Dhaliwal. Another BJP councillor Inder Aggarwal said everyone had the democratic right of expression. “General house should be called at the earliest. At the meeting, we all can express ourselves and suggest ways to improve the MC working. Even if there are arguments, something fruitful will surely come out of it,” said Aggarwal. The spokesperson for the Congress councilors, Parminder Mehta, said the mayor was not “gutsy” enough to address their genuine problems. “The councillors of 75 wards have to face the wrath of the general public daily,” rued Mehta. Mayorspeak
The Mayor said he was busy with recruitment process in Chandigarh. “There is a staff shortage and unless we recruit staff, things will not be sorted out. Within a week, I will go through the agenda items and after that we can decide on a general house meeting,” he said. |

CMCH gives yoga dose to beat stress
Ludhiana, August 31 Dr Harinder Singh Bedi, Head, Cardio-Vascular and Thoracic Surgery Department, CMCH, said: “About two months ago, I, along with my student Shobhita and Dr Sandeep Goyal, psychiatrist, conducted a study on 24 nurses of our department. We noted down the blood pressure and pulse rate of these nurses daily for one month. These nurses were asked to attend a 15-minute yoga class on the premises of the hospital for one month. We give them a questionnaire to be filled in on the first day of our survey and another one at the end of the month. This questionnaire was based on stress-scoring system.” Dr Bedi said after one month, it was found that their stress level had come down by 50 per cent and the pulse rate was also normal. Such a wonderful result from 15-minute yoga daily was a big source of inspiration for all. So, it was decided to make this exercise mandatory for all nurses of the department. Acharya Nirmal Singh, a yoga guru, who trained these nurses, said: “I daily go to the CMCH for assisting these nurses in doing simple yoga exercises. The nurses do yoga before their tea break at around 10 am. I have trained them in some simple joint relaxing exercises and a few breathing exercises.” Retired as Branch Manager from Markfed, Punjab, in 2003, Nirmal Singh said: “I learnt yoga after attending some camps. I also conduct free yoga classes at Sunil Park before going to the CMCH.” He said the health of these nurses had improved a lot. Many resident doctors of the CMCH also attend this yoga class regularly.

Fitness regimes favoured over gym to stay slim
Ludhiana, August 31 “I think people have started to realise that great body is not necessarily about big muscles, but lean and muscular body instead. So they have started opting aerobic exercises that involve their own body weight and strength training instead of carrying heavy weights,” says Vikrant, a resident. People are gravitating towards interesting fitness workouts, including high energy dances, power yoga and sports such as kickboxing, pilates or other high-intensity fitness regimes. Amandeep, another resident, agrees that she has not only lost weight though power yoga and other aerobic workouts, but also finds herself more attracted towards sport activities instead of monotonous gym workouts. “After liking it for about a couple of months, my eyes used to glaze over at the thought of going to gym. But outdoor fitness regime without any weights has kept the fun alive for more than six months now,” she says. There is no denying that muscle building has its rewards, but it is more for those in professional sports, building strength for specific purpose or those in the business of looks, including acting and fashion, says Amit, a resident. “I think the end desired result is fitness, so if it comes in a more interesting way, the better it is. In fact gyms have also started to include such activities now,” he says.

Women not always ‘bad drivers’ There is a general “opinion” of a majority of the residents that women are “bad drivers”. Even if a woman is an expert driver, having an experience of over 15 years in this congested city, people feel that women are always responsible for traffic jams or banging their vehicles into others. A friend of mine was going through the narrow roads of the Mata Rani Chowk in her car. A passer-by stopped and said: “Traffic is bad here and you will not be able to take a turn. If it is ok with you, can I help you?”. The friend politely declined the offer by saying “no thank you”. Making another such remark to a colleague, a commuter, while crossing the road, said: “Oh madam, you cannot drive on this narrow road. Now you will block the entire road and there will be a traffic jam. You should not have taken a car here”. The colleague got annoyed but preferred to ignore what the person said. However, she thought that why society had no confidence on women drivers. Even if it was fault of others on the roads, women drivers are often “accused” of creating mess! Pipe dreams
The cash-starved Municipal Corporation has been formulating several ambitious mega infrastructure development projects involving huge expenditure at the behest of their political masters without bothering about financial part of such projects. The MC has been finding it difficult to provide funds for routine maintenance works like patchwork on roads and streets that remain in a state of neglect, or add to the network of water supply or sewerage system, or for storm sewer in the mega city projects like Metro rail, four-laning of the Ferozepur Road from Jagraon Bridge to Sidhwan Canal, 24x7 water supply, beautification of major intersections or providing street furniture on major roads in the city, but it is still continuing with the review meetings to achieve its goals. The claims made by political functionaries (read Deputy CM Sukhbir Badal) notwithstanding, with the financial condition of the MC being what it is, most of the projects have little or no chances of seeing the light of the day. Beggars ‘get washing’
Continuing its campaign against beggars, the District Administration, along with a few NGOs, rescued some beggars last week. The rescued beggars were taken to the night shelter. To get some information, I called up one of the team members who rescued these beggars and asked as where are the rescued beggars at present? The person said: “The beggars are being given ‘washing’ at the shelter home. Then they would be taken to the Lord Mahavir Civil Hospital, Ludhiana.” For a moment, I thought that I misunderstood what he said. I again asked him what is being given to the beggars? He said: “washing madam washing”. I could not resist my laughter as what that man meant to say was beggars were being given bath. Contributed by Shivani Bhakoo, Kuldip Bhatia and Anupam Bhagria

Residents rule out regulations
Shivani Bhakoo Tribune News Service
Ludhiana, August 31 He said, “The Municipal Corporation does not give permission to install gates in public places. In the absence of any check, the residents are committing illegality without any fear.” A few residents said if the civic body had given a go-ahead to the installation of gates, it was against the law. “The violators do not fear anybody. They know the civic body won’t act against them. If they are scared of robbers or snatchers, they can approach the police, but they do not have the right to convert a public place into a restricted area,” the residents said. They said civic officials were hand-in-glove with the violators, adding that the gates could lead to a fatal accident as a driver, while manoeuvring a turn, may ram the vehicle into a gate. Manoj, another resident, said a few residents had converted space outside their houses into parking lots. “How can the civic body overlook such violations? Thoroughfares cannot be converted into parking lots or gardens. The practice should be stopped. Without seeking permission from the authorities, how can somebody install gates?” asked Manoj.

Nothing to satiate artists’ appetite
Ludhiana, August 31 A state-of-the-art gallery that has been the pending need and demand of art lovers and art enthusiasts, not only to provide a platform to budding artists, but also as a centre to encourage art and fine arts, is yet to flourish in the city. “Although a couple of art galleries exist in the city, including the relatively new one that reopened at Punjabi Bhawan, these are not the professional-level galleries that can attract the creme-de-la-creme and elite of society. Not one of art galleries are on a par with those in metropolitan cities or the ones in Chandigarh,” said Sanjiv, an art lover. “There is a need to instil finer tastes, including the love for art, among the youth, but nothing on the cultural or artistic front is happening,” said Avneet, another art enthusiast. The government and the administration should take the initiative. “Although the elite of the city go to metros and go after brands, but they must get behind local artists and encourage development of art in the city instead,” said Raghav. “Ludhiana has the talent, but it lacks proper platform and financial backing and corporates can flourish and develop art. Apart from the art development, it can be a great way to invest in artists and art from financial standpoint as well,” he said. No platform

Digital tools spin magic on canvas
Ludhiana, August 31 “I often choose my pressure-sensitive design tablet and pen for creating art. With more technology coming and newer versions of art and design software, these digital tools simulate the art more closely to the art through actual artistic tools,” said a city-based artist. “Although purists don’t consider digital paintings and art as real art, more and more artists have started exploring the digital art as well,” said Ishwinder, an art lover. “The merit of such art is more based in the concept,” he added. Digital art is getting a boost with the advent of touch-screen tablets as well. “Many good touch-screen tablets come equipped with software and apps for creating art. Many more such apps can be installed,” said Manveer, a youngster. He said: “The experience of touch-screen tablet gets even closer to reality as you actually touch the screen for creating art, just as you touch the canvas or drawing sheet at times. With the arrival of more digital tools, it is helping more talent to take a leap into the world of art.”
