CGHS dispensary faces closure
Chandigarh September 17 In fact, former Chandigarh MP Satya Pal Jain had also shot a letter to the UT Adviser, KK Sharma, requesting the Administration not to shut down the dispensary. The Administration had served a notice on the dispensary in charge to vacate it for the purpose of setting up a polyclinic in the area, a year ago. Another notice has been received recently. In a letter to Sharma, Jain said, “There is only one dispensary for the pensioners of the Central Government in Chandigarh, which was opened by me when I was a Member of Parliament from Chandigarh. At least 25,000 to 30,000 pensioners, including people of even 80 to 90 years of age, are getting medical facilities from here for the last so many years.” While a number of sites were identified a few years ago for relocating the dispensary, no progress has been reported so far. For the past three years, the dispensary has been functioning on extended deadlines. According to officials in the UT Health Department, the building where the dispensary was located was taken on rent from the Administration in 2002. The vacated site will be converted into a polyclinic adjoining the upcoming 50-bedded hospital in Sector 45. “The elderly will be at a heavy loss if the dispensary shuts down as they are not even covered under any other health scheme,” said an official.
Beneficiaries will not be displaced: Home Secy
UT Home Secretary Anil Kumar said, “The matter has not come to my notice. But certainly the beneficiaries of the CGHS dispensary will not be displaced. Let me look into the matter. There is enough space in the area and all can be accommodated, I believe.”

Brace for traffic snarls in city this festival season
Chandigarh, September 17 Last year, the UT traffic police and various traders association had urged the UT Education Department to allow the people to park their vehicles in school playgrounds, which were near the busy markets, in the evening hours during the festive season. But the Education Department had kept the issue pending. When contacted, Maneesh Chaudhary, SP (traffic), said last year he had sent a written proposal to the UT Administration and the Education Department but to no avail. This year they would not send any such proposal. But he assured that the traffic police would deploy extra police force in the busy markets to handle the traffic chaos, he said. Chaudhary also said in the coming days he would also hold a meeting with various market associations and would urge them that they should park their vehicles on the rear side of the markets, so that the customers could park their vehicles in front. UT Finance-cum-Education Secretary Saravjit Singh could not be contacted to comment on the issue despite repeated calls and SMSes. Charanjiv Singh, president, Chandigarh Beopar Mandal (CBM), said the UT Education Department should allow parking of vehicles on the school playgrounds as it would smoothen the flow of traffic. In the coming days, they will meet UT Finance Secretary and the SP (traffic) on the issue. He said the CBM would also issue circular to various market associations to deploy private security guards during the festival season to handle traffic chaos in the parking lots, he said.
Parking in schools will help clear traffic
If the UT Education Department will allow parking in school playgrounds during the evening hours in sectors such as 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 27, 28, 34 and 35, it will create more space for parking of vehicles.

Punjabi girls’ lifestyle leaves Pakistan patient, spouse impressed
Mohali, September 15 Sazida belongs to a Sikh family, which had migrated from Rupaeanwala village at Ferozepur in India to Pakistan during the Partition and adopted Muslim religion after settling there. “For the first time, I saw Indian Punjabi girls here and I am impressed with their freedom, fashion style, and lifestyle here. They (the girls) are no less than boys in every field,” said Sazida, who admitted that the girls in Pakistan could not imagine, even in their dreams, to enjoy such a life. Sher Afzal, who is perfectly alright now as per his doctor Ashish Singhal of Fortis Hospital, said after his stint of around 75 days in the town, he had made up his mind that they would encourage their daughter to rise in life. “Normally people in our country do not prefer their daughter to go for higher studies after Class X. But after seeing the confidence of highly educated girls here, we are determined that we would ask her to go for higher education and let her free to decide what she wants to be in her life,” said Sher Afzal and Sazida. “We will advise other members of our clan and friends to do the same, the couple said. Sazida said she wanted to see the village of her forefathers at Ferozepur but could not go there due to some reasons. “I have procured contacts of some old families of the village. Next time, I will surely visit the place,” said Sazida. Sher Afzal said he chose the Indian hospital following reference of his acquaintances. Dr Singhal said the condition of his patient across the border was serious when he was admitted to the hospital. “Now, he is alright after getting a new liver from his brother-in-law (the donor). He has to visit the hospital again after six months for a routine check-up,” said Dr Singhal. “We are looking forward to our next visit here and will definitely learn some new things from the place,” the couple added.

Schools await workbooks
Chandigarh, September 17 The department had taken the initiative after the National Achievement Survey revealed below-average performance of students in UT government schools. The task of preparing the workbooks was assigned to the State Council of Education Research and Training (SCERT) and the Regional Institute of English (RIE). Both institutes were told to relook the existing teaching material and prepare workbooks for students of government schools studying in Classes I to V, in order to supplement classroom teaching with activity-based learning. Although the first semester has already come to an end, schools are yet to receive the much-hyped workbooks that plan to introduce more visuals, diagrams, figures and exercises such as match the following and fill in the blanks. Officials said the workbooks were being prepared for over 50,000 students. One of the officials, demanding anonymity, said: “Though the workbooks had been prepared three months back, due to the lackadaisical attitude of the Education Department, which failed to allot the tender for printing of the books, the process had been delayed.” Around 30 educationalists, including junior basic teachers, trained graduate teachers and technical experts, had been assigned the work of preparing the books, said the official. Sources said earlier in 2010, workbooks for Class II students of government schools and resource books along with academics manuals for teachers were prepared on similar lines. However, since then no workbooks have been made for students. SCERT director Dr Surender Singh Dahiya said: “We are at the final stage of preparing the book; only the designing part is left.”

Chandigarh, September 17 During a special meeting chaired by PU Dean Student Welfare Navdeep Goyal, all wardens and the newly elected students’ council proposed not to hold any inaugural function in any of the hostels. The council, reportedly, proposed that the money collected from students for these events be donated to the Prime Minister’s Relief Fund for J&K. This was the first meeting that the council had with all wardens to discuss various hostel-related issues.

Around 1,000 girls have been waiting for a hostel room, with the number of girl students getting admitted to various PU departments on the rise. While 1,000 of the 4,300 students staying at boys’ hostels have an independent room, number of girls waiting for a room is increasing by nearly 150 every year. Seek hostellers consent, say wardens

Dept fails to act on audit objection
Chandigarh, September 17 During the audit, it was found that associate professor Rajiv Bhandari was availing himself of post and perks for which he was not eligible as per the UGC guidelines. The department, however, has failed to recover the perks. As per norms, eight years of regular service is required for granting of the senior scale to a non-PhD lecturer.

Interestingly, the posting orders on the basis of which the associate professor got the post and perks were issued on October 2, 2007, a national holiday. The benefit had been granted to him with the approval of the Personnel Department.
