Teacher, kin sexually abuse boy
Ludhiana, October 19 The police have reportedly recovered sex toys, videos and other articles from the house of the accused at Sham Nagar. The accused have been identified as Madhav and Raghav and their sister. The case was registered after the 14-year-old boy, along with his parents and activists of the Bachpan Bachao Andolan, approached the police. “Soon after receiving the complaint, we registered a case under the Protection of Child from Sexual Offences Act and conducted a raid at the house. The teacher and her brothers perhaps got the whiff of the police raid and fled the house before the police could reach there,” said the Division No. 5 SHO. It has come to light that when the victim revealed his exploitation at the hands of the suspects, the trio threatened the family with making the video public and implicating the victim in a false rape case. In his police statement, the victim, a resident of Vishwakarma Town, said he, along with his parents, used to live in the same house as tenants. His family has cordial relations with the teacher’s parents. A few years ago, the victim and his parents shifted to another house. Last year, the victim’s parents told the teacher that the boy was not faring well in studies. She offered her tuitions free of cost. The victim said instead of teaching him, the teacher used to show him pornographic films on her laptop and used to send him lewd messages. The victim said the teacher used to make physical relations with him after drugging him. He claimed her brothers used to record her sexual acts with him in camera. The complainant claimed the teacher kept abusing him and when he objected she threatened to kill him. On September 10, while she was in the kitchen, he transferred some of the clippings of her sexual acts (with him and other boys, including her aunt’s son) on his pen drive. Finally, the family mustered courage and approached the NGO, which took the boy to the police station and got a case registered under sections 294 (obscene acts and songs— whichever, to the annoyance of others), 506 (punishment for criminal intimidation), 34 (acts done by several persons in furtherance of common intention), 3-4-5-(L), 14-15, 16 and 17 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act 2012 against the suspects. Multiple victims

Diwali shoppers shy away from loosening purse strings
Ludhiana, October 19 Almost all markets are decked up. It seems the whole of the city has come out to make purchases for Diwali but the shopkeepers have a different story to tell. Ajay Beri from Beri and Company said the sales were average, like the last year. “The buyer thinks twice before spending this time. The sales have not picked up as per the expectations of shopkeepers,” said Beri. For jewellers, there is a total recession. “People may be buying electronics items, utensils, mobile phones, etc, but the jewellers are not that happy. Gold and diamonds are expensive, not many can afford such jewellery. But three or four years back, the business was tremendous when the real estate was at the peak. But now the scene is totally different,” said Dhanda. Akash from a grocery store in Ghumar Mandi said markets were witnessing a huge rush but people were buying only those items, which they had to. “It is not that customers are buying without giving much thought towards the prices. In most of the cases, residents are spending on necessary items only. Still, shopkeepers are hopeful that Diwali sales will pick up in the next two days,” said Akash. A city resident, Manju Anand, said looking at the rush in the markets, one cannot believe that sales are not satisfactory. “It seems everyone has come out from his or her house to make purchases for Diwali. But yes, I am also buying things which are necessary. Since we have been exchanging gifts during Diwali for the past several years, so the tradition has to be carried on. But before spending on anything, I have to think several times, whether it is worth it?” said the home maker.

Get-togethers over cards set Diwali mood
Ludhiana, October 19 Not just in clubs, but the card-sessions are also being held at get-togethers organised by residents at farm houses and homes. A business woman said for the past five days, she had been regularly playing cards at such parties till early morning. “The parties are organised at friends’ places and we go there to play cards and have fun. Though I have to be at my workplace at around 11 am, I play cards till 2 am. These are just four or five days of the festive season when we enjoy the most. Our stakes are not too high and we keep a limit. But, our husbands play high stakes. Two days ago, my husband won around Rs 40,000 in a single sitting,” she added. During these parties, catering is well organised by “party lovers” and eatables and drinks are served to the guests till the game is on. “We all want to play the game so we hire cooks. While you are playing, eatables and drinks are served throughout. We are not the routine card players, but we enjoy playing cards during Diwali days,” said another resident. A few years ago when there was a boom in the real estate market, leading businessmen would often miss attendance at their factories or business establishments to play cards. A businessman said one could not make profits throughout the year from factories but here while playing cards, residents had made crores in a single night. “But in the past one or two years, the stakes have come down and now residents play cards to have fun,” he said.

Only money can realise MC's dreams
Ludhiana, October 19 A plan of Rs 4,600 crore has reportedly been submitted to the Deputy Chief Minister. It seems that the Deputy CM is unaware of the Municipal Corporation’s financial condition, which doesn’t even have money to pay salaries to its employees. Contractors, too, are up in arms against MC as it has failed to provide them funds for development works that they carried out in different wards. To discuss the issue, a meeting was held in Chandigarh recently. Sources said Badal had also asked the Secretary, Local Government, to formulate a policy regularising illegal buildings by November 1. The Municipal Corporation is going through a rough patch. Petrol stations have refused to fill fuel in MC vehicles, the City Bus Service had to be stopped abruptly as the company refused to ply buses due to losses, the general body meeting is not being convened for the simple reason that the authorities have no answer to councillors’ queries that why development works were stopped in wards? President of the District Congress Committee Gurpreet Gogi, who is also a councillor, said, “Everyone has the right to dream big, but for that you need to make efforts too. Political interference in the MC should be stopped so that revenue could be generated. The MC is in a mess and efforts should be made to bring it out of it.” Commissioner of the Municipal Corporation Pradeep Aggarwal said the government was trying hard to provide all facilities to the public. “The MC will rope in agencies such as World Bank and HUDCO for upgrading infrastructure,” said Aggarwal.

A Happy Diwali for encroachers With the festival of lights round the corner, the markets are abuzz with activity. Almost all the shops have been tastefully decorated by owners to welcome their customers so that they can make good business. he stocks are being kept outside the shops by putting stalls and the potters are seen selling diyas, calendars, hatris etc on the roads. There is virtually no space left to move around in markets freely in such huge rush. And the authorities, too, have adopted a lenient approach by not taking stern action against those who have encroached upon the roads. “We do not want to take action as Diwali is the biggest festival celebrated in the country. We are pleading to shopkeepers to extend a helping hand to avoid encroachments and facilitate easier movement of people. We do not intend to spoil the spirit of festivity,” said an official of the tehbazari wing of MC. Development dreams
While on the one hand, the crisis-ridden Municipal Corporation is finding it difficult to make payment of bills worth more than Rs 50 crore pertaining to routine maintenance and development works already executed by the contractors, and payment of salaries to the employees is also erratic, on the other hand the top brass of the civic body was discussing major development projects involving an estimated expenditure of Rs 4,600 crore with the Deputy Chief Minister, Sukhbir Badal, in Chandigarh earlier this week. Neither the Deputy CM nor the MC authorities spelled out in as many words as to source of funding for these mega projects. A city resident commented, the MC seems to have lost track of its priorities. “The city residents have a right to have good roads, adequate supply of potable water, disposal of sewage and storm water and proper delivery of other civic amenities which are nowhere in sight. In such a bleak scenario, the residents feel that the mega projects will not go beyond the project reports and drawing boards. No check on parking violators
Due to festive season, city markets have been witnessing a lot of rush. A majority of people who come to the markets to buy anything or just for window shopping park their vehicles at their own will. Reportedly they are least bothered whether the vehicle they parked has blocked the major part of the road or not and thus leading to traffic jam. Fearing the towing away of their vehicle, some good samaritans also indulge in another practice. They make any of their family members sit in the wrongly parked vehicle and they move away for shopping. I wish traffic police be strict with such violators.
