New twist to students’ row Chandigarh, October 6 A breakaway faction of the winning Students Organisation of Panjab University led by Bhupinder Beniwal, chairman during the elections, who was removed from the post after the victory, has demanded resignation of Santokhwinder Singh Nabha, the president. Nabha supported by Dayal Pratap Singh Randhawa, a former president of the student council, meanwhile, claims to have expelled Beniwal from the party. PU has constituted a committee comprising Prof Bal Krishna, Department of Laws, Dr Tankeshwar, department of Physics and Prof M.M.Sharma to look into the controversy. A committee member said he had received a copy of the election constitution, however, papers of the two parties in question were still awaited. Beniwal had given a copy of his representation of a notice of no-confidence, claiming signatures of 25 elected members of the student council. The university authorities, however, sought representation from a regular university student. Ankur, general secretary, has submitted the representation seeking ouster of Nabha, which has finally been taken up for consideration. It may be remembered that Nabha had called a press conference the day following the oath-taking ceremony, saying that Beniwal had no right to comment because he was not a student in the first place and that he had been removed as the chairman. Beniwal, however, said that when he could be made a chairman for the elections under the same circumstances, the opposite party had no right to make the opposite claim now that their purpose of victory had been served. Interestingly, Nidhi Puri (vice-president) and Nishu Dubey (joint secretary) had on the day of elections put their signatures on a stamp paper, claiming support of Beniwal and seeking resignation of Nabha. Minutes later, at tea, after the oath-taking ceremony, Nidhi Puri told reporters that she was with Nabha. Another 5 minutes later she was addressing a press conference with Beniwal saying she stood with Beniwal and had thought about the change “only two minutes back”. Later in the evening, she visited The Tribune office and said she had re-thought about the matter and was determined to support Nabha. She maintained her stand next day at a press conference. Beniwal at the same press conference said that two persons deciding against supporting him made no difference because he had signatures of more than 40 persons. Nabha maintained that much of the present confusion had arisen due to the fact that there was no written constitution. Earlier, all decisions on the party matters had been taken by an executive. SOPU will come out with a written document soon after things are sorted out. |

No barriers at Grain Market Chandigarh, October 6 Sources in the Chandigarh Administration said the Administrator may even be unaware that the barriers had not started functioning. These barriers were set up two months ago. However, they have not started functioning, allegedly under pressure from grain market traders. The traders closed the ‘‘mandi’’ as a protest when the barriers were set up. The Administration buckled. Had the check barriers been functional, it was expected that revenue collection from market fee would have doubled from the present Rs 3 crore. All deposits into the market fee were presently on a voluntary basis by the traders. Market fee is imposed on all trucks bringing in produce into the mandi. And today the contract between the market committee, an elected body, and a private security agency to provide security at the six check barriers ended. The committee paid up Rs 3 lakh to the security agency even as the barriers were not made functional. Now the market committee is also up in arms. Member of the committee Bhupinder Singh Badheri told The Tribune that a meeting was held where the Chairman of the Committee, Mr Kesar Singh, was present. It was decided that the committee will function on its own and not tolerate any interference from the Administration. The Administration first asked the committee to set up the barriers to check evasion of market fee. All calculations were made. This included that wholesale traders, who buy items like rice, pulses or sugar in bulk from Delhi for further supply to Punjab and Himachal, were the biggest evaders of market fee. Under this segment collections were just Rs 70 lakh last year. In the wheat, paddy, vegetable and fruit segment fee collections were higher Now the Administration has been verbally asking the committee for a report on the ‘‘ what has been the use of barriers’’. |

City could have been just another Model Town Chandigarh, October 6 This was the most telling comment made by Mr Balbir Verma, president of the Indian Institute of Architects, when asked to comment on the frequent criticism of Le Corbusier for his alleged failure to provide housing for the poor and foresee other problems facing the City Beautiful. “This criticism is not valid,” said Mr Verma during the course of an interaction carried out by TNS today with several leading architects of the country who had gathered here today to attend the 114th birth anniversary of Le Corbusier. “He was a visionary who planned every project in minute detail. Le Corbusier’ greatest contribution to the Indian architecture was in the form of a sense of discipline instilled among the people. He laid down plans in meticulous detail which could not be changed according to the whims and fancies of the citizens. “But for this discipline, Chandigarh would have rapidly deteriorated and become just another model town available in any Indian city. The problem, if any, lies not with the architecture, but the governance of the city”. Mr M.N. Sharma, former Chief architect of the erstwhile Punjab and Chandigarh, who was associated with Le Corbusier in the planning and execution of Chandigarh, said that Le Corbusier was way ahead of his time with feet firmly rooted in the past culture
Space, light and volumes were always there as basic elements in Le Corbusier’s creations. He remained a great sculpture in his paintings as well as architecture. Since the advent of modern architecture, in the early 20th century, Le Corbusier had been considered one of the its founding fathers, and today, he must be regarded as the one who endured as this century’s greatest architect. His architecture had been proven to contain more than what was characteristic of the period. What was fascinating about Le Corbusier was that, as the time went by, his works appeared more meaningful and ageless. He said Corbusier’s philosophy and ideals were becoming increasingly valid today and had stood the test of time. “Speaking purely in the context of Chandigarh — with passage of time — we have lost our bearings and are struggling to keep pace with the changing conditions for true understanding and forthright actions....It was sad that the Museum of Knowledge and the Capitol Complex had not been completed till today”. Mr Jeet Malhotra, former Chief Architect of Punjab and a long-time resident of Chandigarh, says that one learns about the importance of Chandigarh only when you go to another city of India. “After living for so many years in Chandigarh, I shifted to Delhi to practise in the National Capital. But whosoever I ran into said that I must be crazy to leave a place like Chandigarh and settle down in Delhi. So now I have come back to Chandigarh to stay here”. Mr Malhotra said that nobody could foresee the needs of a city all times to come. Therefore, it was possible that Le Corbusier, too, could not foresee and provide for the poor in Chandigarh. But some of the ideas like building duplex houses was way ahead of his times. “We could not understand why one should have duplex houses and keep on shuttling between for kitchen and drawing room on the ground floor and bedrooms on the first floor. But now we realise that this is the best plan, offering you total privacy and segregation on the first floor...” Mr S.N. Kohli, Chairman, Punjab and Chandigarh Chapter of the Indian Institute of Architects, also echoed similar sentiments, emphasising that Le Corbusier’s contribution could not be belittled. It was not correct to say that he did not provide for housing for the poor. As a matter fact, he planned for two-bedroom houses for peons and other low-paid employees at a time when such a concept was unheard of. One could not plan for everything for all times to come because needs of the people and the city keep on changing. And there was nothing to prevent the administrators from changing the relevant bye-laws to provide for new contingencies.

Workshop on new trends
in automation begins Chandigarh, October 6 In his key-note address, Dr Kirpal Singh, principal of Shri Sukhmani Institute of Engineering and Technology, Dera Bassi described various types of automotive power plants and discussed improvements in the performance and emission levels of automobiles during the past half century. He also gave a brief description on the concept of future source of automotive power such as fuel cells. Giving an overview of the Euro emission norms, Mr Lakhinder Singh, Chief Manager (R&D) of Swaraj Mazda, also discussed Indian emission norms and the technologies required for diesel engines to meet the stipulated norms. He said to achieve respective norms, changes in combustion chambers, fuel injection system and other related engine components were introduced. In his talk on “Aiming at Perfection : The jet engine”, Wg Cdr D.P. Sabharwal, secretary of ASI, said low fuel consumption and easy maintainability were two areas where the jet engine had seen a lot of improvement over the years. He said modular design, electronic engine control and engine condition monitoring concepts, that were just ideas floated till recently, had become a reality today. Demand for higher performance, he added, had led to the development of newer materials and production technologies. Speaking about the role and functions of SAE, Mr A D Sidwani said the society had about 80,000 members concerned with various branches of engineering, spread over 90 countries. Dr Sukhbir Singh, Senior Manager (R&D), Maruti Udyog Limited, spoke about the multi-point fuel injection system in automobiles. Engineering students also presented several technical papers on solar and electric powered cars. A quiz contest on “Automax” was also organised on the occasion. |

FAUJI BEAT Chandigarh The roots of the organisation can be traced to the “Articles of War”, adopted by British Parliament in April, 1747. Regulation 17 of the Article empowered the government to adopt a Military Pay Master for disbursing pay and allowances of officers, NCOs and other ranks. The department has been referred to as Military Pay Master General Purser General and Pay Master-General through the ages. Audit of payment of military stores, contracts and all bills for military charges were given to this department in 1773. Day by day, the department faced increasing challenges, according to military needs. The Accountant General of Military Department was re-designated as Controller General of Military Expenditure in 1865. In October 1913, Financial Adviser Military Finance was created in place of the Military Finance Branch. In 1920 military accounts were transferred to the Military Accountant General, while Controller of the Royal Air Force was formed at Ambala and Controller of Marine Accounts was formed at Bombay (now Mumbai). Four regional controllers were assigned the task of maintaining accounts for respective commands. On October 1, 1951, the Military Accounts Department was redesignated Defence Accounts Department and as such Controllers of Military Accounts were redesignated Controllers of Defence Accounts, and the Military Accountant General was re-named Controller General of Defence Accounts. The history of the Defence Accounts Department has been closely linked with the growth of the armed forces in India, and the department has come a long way since the days of the East India Company. Today, the Defence Accounts Department is responsible not only for payment accounting and internal audit of the three services, but also that of the ordnance factories, research and development organisations, Border Roads Organisation, Canteen Stores Department and the Coast Guard. The department pioneered automation of accounts with the induction of computers as early as 1969 and considerable qualitative improvement in the maintenance of accounts has been achieved. Pilot projects have also been undertaken for developing a system of audit through computerisation of the inventories held by the Army, the Air Force and the Navy. |

MURDER MILES Panchkula This intersection is manned by traffic lights as well as traffic policemen. The District Administration has set up a police post at this point but senior police officers admit that when the lights fail, a single policeman cannot cope with the heavy rush of vehicles. The bridge on the Ghaggar on the Panchkula - Naraingarh road is another accident-prone point, say those who frequent the area. Mr Sher Singh, of Sector 12, Panchkula, who crosses the bridge regularly to visit the gurdwara, said that he had to be “extra cautious and parking of trucks has further narrowed the road”. Vehicles have to pass through curves and no indicator has been put up to warn the motorists. The road becomes more crowded on full moon days (Puranmasis) and other special occasions when thousands of devotees from Chandigarh, S.A.S. Nagar and the surrounding areas throng the gurdwara. Though there is ample parking space in the gurdwara, yet many devotees prefer to park their vehicles on the road. Trucks parked on the road add to the traffic confusion. However, an officer of the traffic wing of the police said that they had posted policemen in front of the gurdwara to check those who leave their vehicles on the road before entering the gurdwara. |

Concern
over rise in number of accidents Chandigarh, October 6 In a meeting held here today, the association expressed concern over the increase in the number of road accidents and accused the traffic police for it. The members alleged that the police was only engaged in issuing challans and was not trying enough to regulate the flow of traffic. The Police Control Room gypsies standing on the various roundabouts also came under attack during the meeting. The police personnel post at these PCRs were accused of engaging in unnecessary checking of documents of the commuters and thus causing chaos on the roundabouts. According to the association members, the PCR gypsies are either parked in the middle of the roads or on other wrong places. They also accused the city VIPs of violating traffic rules. This was stated in a press not issued by Mr Bhim Sen Sehgal, chairman of the association. |

Mogambo halts
for ‘sarson da saag’ Chandigarh, October 6 After a lot of difficulty (due to road blockade in the morning), the reel-life Mogambo reached the Platinum Honda showroom in Sector 35 and placed himself in a comfortable corner to savour his favourite lunch: “sarson da saag” and
"makki di roti". Simple living seems to be in his grain. Had it not been, he would not have especially called up his friends in Batala from Mumbai yesterday and asked them to meet him up in Chandigarh the next day over a humble lunch! Satinder Singh told Chandigarh Tribune today, “Amrishji told us that he would be halting at Chandigarh for a while. He requested us to prepare some ‘sarson da saag’ and ‘makki di roti’.” So there was Satinder with a packed lunch, which the star savoured for quite some time in the showroom where he also launched the latest blue Honda Activa scooter. Another issue of conversation was the highly-stylish dress code of the legendary actor. He sported a trendy look, furthered by his trade-mark hat which had a partridge feather on it. As Amrish Puri went around the showroom, the entrance was obviously blocked by people who were desperate to catch a glimpse of the cine-star. He, however, did not stay for long. Around 3 pm he left for Manali by road. |

Tasting
the luxury of limousine
Chandigarh, October 6 “We are feeling excited after having a ride in the luxury car. We came to know last evening that my husband had emerged as the winner in the draw. Had we got to know little earlier we would have invited our friends also”, exclaimed, Ms Jasbir Kaur, his wife. “The dream ride started at 10.30 in the morning. We went straight to Nada Sahib gurdwara and Mansa Devi temple to thank God for giving us this moment of pleasure. Then we went around the city, at the lake and to other places,’’ she added. “It is unbelievable that we have had a ride in limousine car. If God is kind enough, we will buy the car some day. The best part of the car is that it has spacious seats and is equipped with cellular telephone, television and VCD player. We will share our experience with our friends,’’ said their son and daughters . The campaign offers two parameters into one. In the first one, the customer is served a coupon. The customer has to fill in personal details in the coupon. He has to guess the approximate amount at which the vehicle will get fuelled upto auto cut-off. If the guess is within permissible limits, the customer gets the fuel free of cost. In case the customer guesses it midway he or she pays half the price for the fuel. The coupon is dropped in the draw box from which a single draw is taken out every evening. It has to be filled in by the customer and put in a draw box. Every evening a draw is taken out and the winner is entitled to a 12-hour ride in a limousine with driver.  |

KHARAR DIARY Kharar A large number of students from Kharar commute to Chandigarh for their schooling but are unable to join the coaching institutes there because of their timings as well as their heavy fees. Taking advantage of this situation, some teachers from Chandigarh have started their coaching classes in this town. Some others have hired the services of lecturers from Chandigarh. Most of these coaching centres cater to the needs of the 10th and +2 students, charging a student anything from Rs 400 to Rs 800 per subject. They also provide coaching for pre-engineering and pre-medical tests. These centres are run on the pattern of those in Chandigarh, with printed notes and other study material. The coaching centres defend the tuition culture, saying that tuitions are necessary because of the high teacher-student ratio in schools because of which the weak students are not able to get due attention. ‘‘We provide them with condensed study material such as printed notes and hold regular tests for revision,’’ says a teacher who runs a coaching centre. Most of the teachers here feel that the students of Kharar require extra coaching as they are not exposed to competition. The students call tuitions a necessary evil. They feel that they are unable to compete with the students of Chandigarh and Mohali without extra coaching. ‘‘When we complete our matriculation from a school in Kharar and join a school or a college in Chandigarh, we find ourselves at a disadvantage. We understand Hindi but schools in Chandigarh offer only English medium,’’ they say. They have no choice but to seek admission in Chandigarh schools as 85 per cent of the seats in Panjab University are reserved for students of Chandigarh schools. In any case the tuition culture has come to stay in Kharar, pushing classroom teaching to the back seat. |

REMINISCENCE Chandigarh, October 6 “Even though I go out for a walk every evening, I have stopped enjoying it lately”, he asserts. “The residents have increased the height of the boundary walls to make them insurmountable. They have been drawn into the protective seclusion of their closed, claustrophobic, houses in the process”. He recalls: “In the days that are no more and will, perhaps, never return, the unimpressive walls permitted you to interact with neighbours while walking down the street. Not only this, you could look at the brightly lit houses and feel the presence of life even without spotting a single face”. “In the 80s, we would stop in front of every house while out on a walk and exchange pleasantries with the youngsters. Or else, wish the elders, reposing in comfortable chairs in verandahs”. That was years ago. “In fact, in the last century, the scenario has undergone a complete metamorphosis,” Mr Bains recalls. “The walls have been raised to the height of 10 feet. Today, you get the impression that you are walking through narrow corridors, instead of sauntering on the streets. This is not all. As soon as the sun goes down, you start feeling that the city has been abandoned, or perhaps bombed”. The reason for this disconcerting trend, Mr Bains, feels, is the projection of crime. “The coverage of crime has increased in the city due to the competition created by the presence of so many newspapers. As a result, even minor thefts are being reported. This has led to fear among the residents”, he observes. “You will always find them discussing crime. Little wonder, the walls have been raised and grills installed. Even the service lanes in the northern sectors now have gates’’. He concludes: “Crime has definitely gone up in the city. Instead of eight murders in nine years, we now have over 20 killings annually. A murder was committed even in a peaceful place like Sector 10,. something unimaginable until a few years ago. But the residents should also realise that the city’s population has increased. I can understand the people’s anxiety of making their houses secure, but in the process, city’s character is being destroyed”. |

WOMAN ENTREPRENEUR Chandigarh She joined her husband in the business which involves manufacture of PVC pipes, water storage tanks, dustbins and the recently launched mobile toilets. She is also an active social worker and has delivered several talks on women entrepreneurship at different places. ‘‘In a conventional set-up like ours, I was married off when I was doing my post-graduation course. I always had the urge to establish my own identity, and after the children had grown up enough to take care of themselves, I decided that I should work, and opted for our own business to make a beginning. Advertising was the first thing she thought their business needed the most and she started looking after this aspect. Her sphere of work spread slowly and today she handles most of the operations. Di Plast Chowk in Mohali has been designed by her. A major project that manufactures mobile toilets is being entirely handled by her. ‘‘Right from the concept to sales, I have looked after everything and it has been very successful’’, she says with a sense of pride. She also listens to the grievances of the employees, handles internal co-ordination and also travels to conduct meetings of dealers, architects, plumbers etc. ‘‘The employees have immense confidence in me and when they have a problem, they come to me for a solution’’. Not that things came to her easily. Her position today is the result of much hard work. She did a woman entrepreneurship course and some other short-term and orientation programmes including courses in environment studies. ‘‘I always want to keep myself abreast of the latest in our industry and work hard for it’’. She
attributes her success to her family, but her managerial qualities, creativity and the desire not to be a part of the crowd have contributed a great deal to her success. |
