Police release diversion plan
Ludhiana, November 25 The traffic police have appealed to commuters going to Chandigarh and its adjoining areas in routine to opt for the southern bypass. Sources said the traffic police were in the process to discussing the matter with the Inter-State Bus Terminus (ISBT) authorities to discuss the possibility of change in the route plan. A traffic police officer said if buses and industrial vehicles were diverted to alternative routes, then traffic at Dholewal would become manageable. The advisory suggested that after taking the southern bypass, commuters could take the Doraha Neelon route. The traffic would be diverted towards Sherpur Chowk and from there to Samrala Chowk. The commuters heading from RK Road to Sufian Chowk will have to take the road under the bridge. The provision has been made to provide a smooth passage to the commuters coming from Chandigarh Road and going towards bus stand. Rahul Verma, a traffic expert, said the decision on diverting the traffic came following the orders of the ACP-Traffic Richa Agnihotri. The move was taken on the lines of diversions made during the repair of the Jagraon bridge. “The traffic diversion made at the Jagraon bridge was a success. We had diverted the traffic coming from Bharat Nagar Chowk to a U-turn under the bridge, to Dholewal Chowk. We are applying the same formula at Cheema Chowk. Our purpose is that we should make minimal use of traffic lights and avoid commuters from being stuck at roundabouts,” said Rahul Verma. The one side (from bus stand to Cheema Chowk) will remain closed for nearly two months. Traffic advisory

MC gears up for demolition drive as HC hearing nears
Ludhiana, November 25 Around 400 notices were issued in the particular case about three days ago and residents were asked to file replies. The Municipal Commissioner, Pradeep Aggarwal, said: “We are likely to remove the encroachments by the end of this week as notices have already been served on the violators.” One of the officials of the building branch said the last hearing in the case was on September 30. “An affidavit has to be filed in the High Court on December 2 about the action taken by the authorities in the case. The reality is that the Municipal Corporation has remained silent on the issue all these months and now when the date is fast approaching, action is being planned,” said the official. Owing to the festival season and prior to that due to unavailability of adequate police force, action against the encroachments in Industrial Area A and the area behind Hathi Complex, near Rose Garden, was put off. Another official of the building branch said the encroachments had to be removed at any cost. The Punjab and Haryana High Court is clear on the matter. Owing to political pressure and residents’ protest, such drives could not succeed. “Sooner or later, the encroachments need to be removed,” he added. Officialspeak

Authorities turn Pied Piper to rid rly station of rodents
Ludhiana, November 25 The railway officials said rats had made holes under the concrete surface of platforms. They have also damaged the concrete surface. Divisional Railway Traffic Manger SS Bhatia said passengers throw eatables on the tracks and platforms. This practice encourages the growth of rats. The anti-rodent drive has been quite effective. Ravinder Sharma, Station Superintendent, said: “The rat menace was one of the major problems at the railway station. We received funds for cleanliness of the station under Swachh Bharat campaign. To curb the population of rats, we have initiated this anti-rodent drive. We got success in the initial days. We have killed more than 3,000 rats. The drive is still going on”. The authorities have not hired any pest management company. Earlier, the health wing of the Railways used to hire pest management companies for the purpose. But, a few years ago, the task of controlling rats was entrusted to the engineering wing. With the Railways not hiring any pest management company, the population of rodents has been increasing on railway stations. The railway authorities cemented the tracks to check the menace, but to no avail.

Ward No. 20: Non-functional tubewells sink residents’ hopes
Ludhiana, November 25 The ward comprises areas, including Madhopuri, Tilak Nagar, Chauri Sarak, Shivala Road and Division Number 3. It is represented by BJP councillor Monika Devinder Jaggi. Jaggi said the non-operational tubewells were causing problems in water supply. “Now, the MC has reduced the water supply hours. The residents do not get water for two hours in the afternoon. These tubewells need to be made operational soon. The sewerage was laid about 40 years ago. Sewers have neither been replaced nor maintained. Whenever there is a leakage in a sewer, sewage gets mixed with municipal water supply. The problem of contaminated water aggravates during the rainy season,” said Jaggi.

private aided colleges Lovleen Bains
Doraha, November 25 Members of the Punjab and Chandigarh College Teachers’ Union (PCCTU) said they protested against the dilly dallying attitude of the government as far as the fulfillment and implementation of their genuine demands were concerned. “If the same continues the protest shall now be taken to the classes,” they said. Elaborating on the demands of teachers, PCCTU president Prof Kuldip Singh stated that it was height of indifference of the state government towards higher education. “The teachers working in the affiliated aided colleges have not received their salaries for the last 18 months due to non-release of grant meant for the payment of salaries from May 2013 onwards. As a result of which the teachers and the colleges have been trapped into vicious cycle of debt and about 75 per cent of the colleges are on the brink of closure,” he added. “Presently, 60 per cent of the total posts of the teaching and non-teaching staff are lying vacant. The woes of these institutions have accumulated over the years as the government has imposed a ban on recruitments in 2005. It is only on the directions of the court that the government has accepted to fill all the vacancies in the next three years. But not complying entirely with the directions given by the court, the government has in turn placed an order to the colleges to do the same only on contract basis.” “Our other demands include streamlining the Academic Performance Indicator (API) score system for the promotion of teachers under career advancement scheme, re-inclusion of teachers working against un-aided posts under the umbrella of Security of Service Act, relaxation from refresher courses as per UGC guidelines, extension of retirement age to 65 years from the present 60 years as per the notification by the Central Government, provision of development grant to the unaided colleges, review of sanctioned posts, implementation of all the clauses of the Central Government’s notification and UGC guidelines.” In the meantime, a committee has been formed by the principals of private aided colleges to support the move of the teachers and extend every possible support to them towards the fulfillment of their cause. Principal Swaranjit Singh, president, Principals’ Association, shared, “The government has crossed all limits of indifference to the sufferings of teachers. So, we will now support their cause and try our best to make the government pay heed to their genuine demands.” ‘GOVERNMENT IS BEING INDIFFERENT’The government has crossed all limits of indifference to the sufferings of teachers. So, we will now support their cause and try our best to make the government pay heed to their genuine
demands.

Brick-kiln workers up in arms
Ludhiana, November 25 Addressing a protest of brick kiln workers in front of the Deputy Commissioner’s office at the Mini-Secretariat here today, former legislator and vice-president of the Construction Workers’ Federation of India Tarsem Jodhan said the mafia groups and their political patrons were fleecing the people of the state. “While on the one hand, lakhs of workers had been rendered partly unemployed due to non-functional brick kilns and slump in construction work, on the other hand more than 70 per cent of the youth had fallen prey to drug menace with the government acting like a mute spectator,” he said. Jodhan said as a result of wrong policies of the Centre and the state government, brick kilns, which earlier used to work for nine months in a year, were operating for just three months. Attributing the forced closure of kilns to the connivance of the government with brick kiln owners, he said more than three lakh brick kiln workers had been rendered unemployed. The trade union leader said under the garb of restrictions under the Mining Act, a section of the kiln owners had deliberately closed down the kilns in a bid to create artificial shortage of bricks with the objective of fleecing the consumers and the work force. Coming down heavily upon the SAD-BJP government in Punjab for what he described as repressive actions, Jodhan condemned the unprovoked lathi charge on students, including girls, at Punjabi University, Patiala. He demanded a high-level inquiry into the incident and stern action against the guilty. Other speakers, including Sinder Singh Jawaddi, Parkash Singh Hissowal, Charanjit Singh Humayunpur, Harbans Singh and Darbara Singh, said the affected workers would expose the anti-people and anti-worker policies of the government. They demanded that the brick mafia be dealt with iron hands and all kilns be made operational without any further delay.
