Paddy straw collector put on trial
Amloh, October 13 Dr Harmanjit Singh of the kendra addressed the farmers at the function. He asserted that the use of such machines would help reduce pollution caused by burning of paddy straw and stubbles. The machine would collect straw from a field and put it into the trolley. It provides an alternative to burning of straw through its use in fields. This process is useful for organic farming due to availability of micronutrients like zinc, iron, maganese, etc. to the crops. It is pertinent to mention here that 160 to 180 lakh tonnes of paddy straw is burnt every year, affecting the health of people and the soil. Dr Devinder Singh Mand from the kendra pointed out that the PAU had recommended twin-purpose happy seeds machine for harvesting paddy and sowing wheat at the same time. It saves inputs in farming. Mr Balbir Singh Jaria, a progressive farmer, asked the farmers to follow the recommendations of the university. Dr Arjun Singh and Dr Jaswinder Paul Singh Grewal (both Agricultural Development Officers) were also present on the occasion.

GNEC students decry police lethargy
Ludhiana, October 13 The students were upset that some police officials and politicians were shielding the accused and only two of the six main accused had been arrested. Students also organised a dharna opposing an inquiry being conducted by the Crime Branch of the Punjab Police into an alleged assault on the student, Paramvir Singh. Students said the inquiry was just a whitewash and the real accused were being cleverly shielded. The dharna was lifted only after senior police officials assured the agitating students that justice would be done in the case. As many as 94 students had identified one of the main accused ,Parwidner Singh, before the Inquiry Officer of the Crime Branch, yet no action seemed to have been taken.
