Part of illegal building razed in Model Town
Ludhiana, November 7 The building owner, he said, later got a building plan approved for a residential building, but started constructing four shops. The part of the building was razed and a notice was issued to the owner asking him not to go ahead with the construction of the commercial building as the building plan had been approved for a residential house. The undeterred owner of the building, however, resumed construction of the building. Pillars were erected on which scaffolding was laid for a lintel.

Avoid foods that can turn your body into junkyard
Ludhiana, November 7 “Advertisements should be regulated in our country and the government needs to take steps in this direction. Before munching on junk food, consumers should know that they are eating something injurious,” added Dr Joshi. He said advertisements played an important role and sometimes people got carried away by marketing campaigns of companies. “Some companies label products as “diet” or “sugar-free”, but are actually as harmful as their original versions. Junk food is actually causing harm to our society, with more and more people falling prey to lifestyle diseases,” said Dr Joshi. You eat a burger with 1,200 calories and in turn require a run of 5 kilometres to burn the same. “People are increasingly becoming addicted to junk food, but at the same time, lack of physical activity is making things worse and resulting in obesity,” he said. Dr B Sesikeran from Hyderabad said nations had failed to achieve desired results where junk food was banned so instead of banning junk food, the government should ensure that eatables are not overloaded with saturated fats, refined carbohydrates, salts and sugar. “Food should be more nutritious and less fattening. The idea of having a no canteen is wrong because if there will be no canteen, students will eat out after school. There should a canteen in the school, but it should have healthy eating options. Instead of giving a packet of crisps or a burger to a child, mothers should look out for more healthy options that are at the same time attractive too,” added Dr Sesikeran.

Defunct city bus service Kuldip Bhatia
Ludhiana, November 7 The Congress leaders, including president of the District Congress Committee (Urban) Gurpreet Singh Gogi and several councillors, reached the bus parking depot adjoining the office of Sub-Registrar on the Humbran Road where they performed “aarti” of the stationary buses and also cleaned them up to focus on the problem of the local transport being faced by the city residents. In a word of caution to the Civic Administration, the Congress leaders said if the bus service was not resumed within one-and-a-half month by the MC, they would be forced to run the buses and provide the local transport facility to the public in their own way, which however, was not specified. Bittu and Ashu claimed that the erstwhile UPA Government had provided an amount of Rs 65 crore under the Centrally-funded Jawahar Lal Nehru Urban Renewal Mission Scheme for the city bus service in Ludhiana. Due to the negligence on the part of the Punjab Government and the MC authorities, the city bus service had been discontinued since July when the contract of the then private company was revoked with the result that the buses went off the road, they added. The Congress leaders apprehended that if the buses remained parked at the depot for some more time, these might become unroadworthy or turn into junk causing huge losses to the civic body, while at the same time leading to denial of an essential service to the city residents.

Farmers will get payment of paddy crop soon: Minister
Ludhiana, November 7 “We have written to the Centre to release Rs 15,000 crore for the payment to farmers. Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal also approached the Centre to get the funds released. We hope that the issue will be sorted out within two or three days,” said Finance Minister. Parminder Singh Dhindsa was in the city to preside over the national symposium on “Crop Improvement for Inclusive Sustainable Development” at Pal Auditorium in Punjab Agricultural University. The Central Government did not release the funds (cash credit limit) to the state government to pay the farmers for the procured paddy crop. While answering the queries of the media, Dhindsa said all subsidies, including agricultural subsidies, would continue in future. We will not change our decision under pressure as subsidies are in favour of the public of the state”. “We didn’t get any reaction from our ally, Bharatiya Janata Party, on subsides. Only the media is highlighting this issue. Everyone has its own viewpoint about subsidies. Personally anyone can oppose or favour subsides, but the decision to stop the subsidies can’t be taken without the consent of the high commands of both parties,” said Parminder Singh Dhindsa. Dhindsa said: “Punjab has seen remarkable agricultural growth in the past 50 years. The policies of the state government, new technologies and varieties developed by the PAU, and the technical improvements made by farm experts have led to increase in food production”.

Congress leaders demand high-level enquiry
Ashok Kaura
PHILLAUR, NOVEMBER 7 The leaders demanded a high-level enquiry into the non-utilisation of the funds saying such a lapse cannot be unintentional. They alleged that the Badal government had exhibited its discriminatory attitude by diverting the funds, meant for Scheduled Castes, to other schemes. They said the recent report submitted by the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment on the utilisation of funds by the state government meant for the Dalits had exposed the Badal government. The implementation of the Scheduled Caste Sub Plan has put Punjab at the bottom among the states, the trio claimed. They said it was shocking that the Badal government had failed to utilise 33 per cent of the plan. They claimed that an amount of about Rs 1,300 crore for scheduled castes remained unspent in 2012-13. While in the previous year, the amount was reportedly Rs 1,420.93 crore. The leaders also slammed Badal government for the proposed increase in VAT to 12.5 percent for diesel, which will increase the price by Rs 2.25 per litre. They said the Punjab Congress will oppose this move and will launch an agitation, if imposed. Commenting on the ruling alliance between SAD and BJP, the Congress Leaders alleged that despite deep differences between both the ruling parties, the leaders of SAD and BJP have started damaged control exercise, keeping in view the coming local bodies’ elections in Punjab and Assembly poll in Delhi.

‘Winter on Wheels’ reaches the city
Ludhiana, November 7 “Rather than just collecting clothes, we wanted to create awareness and celebrate the human bond that connects us all,” Firoze said. The caravan, including a truck carrying the winter clothes, has been through 13 cities before reaching Ludhiana. Firoze said the idea was not only to create awareness and appeal to people, but also to leave an imprint on their mind to celebrate the spirit of oneness of humans not just in the face of a tragedy, but otherwise as well. He said he travels almost throughout the year and had just returned from Kashmir when the tragic floods occurred. He added that although much of the material was being sent, but with winters approaching, they would need more woolen clothing. “With donations, we are going to buy blankets for them,” he said. The caravan started from Hyderabad on October 20 and reached Ludhiana today. They have been carrying out signature campaigns, music performances, street art performances, graphic art and wall painting activities in the cities they have been stopping by. Meanwhile, Poornima made a wall painting in the school showing a ray of hope for the flood victims.

Parents create ruckus outside Bal Bharti School
Ludhiana, November 7 Parents alleged that the school had not formed the Parent Teachers Association (PTA) in a democratic way as it was committed by the authorities concerned till September. Also, they had not returned the fee that was charged for smart classes, even though the smart classes never commenced. They also alleged the annual fee and tuition fee was being hiked inordinately every year. Parents of children in the school had protested earlier as well, following which a team from the District Education Department had visited the school. The parents said their children were being harassed by the school authorities in case of late submission of fee. Showing an answer sheet, they said although marks were awarded, but it was written that the child was a fee defaulter and marks would not be added. They also alleged that the authorities were being partial with the children whose parents had not raised their voice against the school. Meanwhile, the other children were not being allowed to participate in school activities and were being discriminated, they alleged. Despite the orders of the authorities, commercial activity was on in the campus and uniforms were also being sold on the premises, the parents alleged. Principal Poonam Dogra however, refuted all the allegations saying that only a few parents were leveling false accusations on the school. “Only some of the parents are creating ruckus for their vested interest and want to spoil the annual function to be celebrated tomorrow,” she alleged. She added that PTA already exists, but it would be formed according to government norms when such regulations are in place by the government. She added that smart classes were being run in the school since a long time now, and fee was nominal. No commercial activity takes place any longer on the campus, she said.
