Trust shuts eyes to illegal mobile towers
Ludhiana, September 8 Whether it is conversion of residential buildings into commercial establishments or installation of illegal towers atop the residential and commercial buildings in the Trust colonies, the authorities seem to have assumed the role of mute spectators, or at the most, a notice is served to an erring allottee for violation. No follow-up action is taken in such cases. Information obtained by a city-based RTI activist, Gagandeep Singh Threeke, from the LIT authorities under the Right to Information Act indicates that only one mobile tower has been installed on a residential building (151-B) in Rajguru Nagar Colony of the Trust in violation of the terms and conditions of allotment of plot. The LIT officials also said a show-cause notice was issued to the allottee in December 2006, and again in September 2012. However, the ground reality remains that at least four other mobile towers have been installed in the colony on the roofs of shop-cum-flats and shop-cum-offices which figure nowhere in the record of the Trust as per information provided to the applicant under the RTI Act. If the residents living in the vicinity are to be believed, all these mobile towers were erected some eight or 10 years ago without obtaining any permission or payment of fee stipulated by the state government for this purpose. The area residents allege that by its failure to act against the installation of these illegal mobile phone towers in the colony, the LIT had not only suffered huge financial loss but the residents were also exposed to harmful radiation. The LIT officials said a mobile tower could not be installed atop a residential building and it was a clear-cut case of violation of the terms and conditions of allotment. It was also officially stated that in such cases, the allotment of plot is liable to be cancelled after issuing a show-cause notice to the defaulting allottee. The Trust also has the right to disconnect water and sewerage connection of the residential building and take up the matter with power utility for disconnection of electric supply to the building. Meanwhile, an official of the engineering branch of the Ludhiana Improvement Trust said four mobile towers erected on commercial buildings in the colony had come to the notice of the Trust. While confirming that no permission had been obtained for these towers, nor had any fee been paid by the allottees, the official said action as per the rules was being taken against the owners of the buildings.

MC apathy takes toll on city roads; residents have bumpy ride
Ludhiana, September 8 All major roads, including the Pakhowal road, Ferozepur road, Kitchlu Nagar road, Model Town road, Sarabha Nagar road, Civil Lines road, BRS Nagar road and road in the Industrial Area and Focal Point, have developed big potholes. The residents find it difficult to avoid bumps on these roads even at slow speeds. The BJP councillor, Inder Aggarwal, said the MC working was “without vision”. “Crores are spent on the carpeting of roads but they are back in a miserable condition within six months. It is a waste of public money. In the absence of adequate staff, none keeps a tab on the material used by the contractors. As a result, substandard material is used in the construction of roads. There has to be a proper planning before starting these kinds of development works,” Aggarwal said. Residents have been confronting their area councillors over poor state of basic facilities. “The condition of roads is so bad that one or two accidents take place each day. The drivers of two-wheelers find it difficult to drive on the damaged roads riddled with potholes and stagnant water. The MC is wasting taxpayers’ money. Officials are making money through illegal means in connivance with contractors. Many contractors have been caught red-handed using substandard material, still the civic body has failed to take any stern action against them. With this kind of approach, residents are bound to suffer,” said the spokesperson for the Congress councilors, Parminder Mehta. According to information, the payments worth about Rs 150 crore were yet to be made to contractors, leading to delay in the completion of works worth about Rs 100 crore. The road repairs have come to a halt as the contractors wanted their payments released soon. Many residents had complained to the MC that its staff were repairing roads in the rainy season, which could affect the quality of construction. Official Speak

Beggars make most of the occasion
Mela Chhapar is no exception to the trend, where hundreds of drifters come to seek alms from devotees in the name of God. The police is on a hunt for suspected gangs which might be exploiting beggars who have been coming to the fairs despite being unable to sit and walk. Suspecting pickpocketing by a section of beggars, the authorities have urged the devotees not to entertain them. However, the police have been directed not to deal with them sternly, fearing action by human rights organisations. Like any other rural fair, the venue for Mela Chhapar starts attracting a large number of beggars, a majority of them migrants, before the commencement of the event. Women and children, outnumbering men, cause more trouble as people find it difficult to get rid of them. Those who beg for alms and parsad, sitting in rows, do not cause any inconvenience to the devotees. A large number of beggars, including physically challenged, have been coming to the mela to collect alms. The authorities concerned have failed to understand how the beggars reach the venue every year. Their pitiable condition make people donate generously. “How can they collect and preserve offerings in cash and kind is beyond the comprehension of the common man?” asked an organiser. Sanjay Mittal, a social activist, apprehended that some organised gangs were exploiting the differently abled. Mittal said two years ago, he had seen a person taking money from a beggar, whose both legs were amputated. The police have deputed extra force at sensitive points near the shrine and other congested areas. The devotees have been alerted against pickpockets through the public announcement system at the mela. “At the same time, we have appealed to the devotees to beware of swindlers and pickpockets and not to encourage begging,” said Singh.
