PU Syndicate meeting to decide action against ex-sports director
MA Geography or MSc Geography? Syndicate members meeting tomorrow will also consider a resolution regarding the conversion of the discipline of geography from arts to science. Prof R.K. Kohli had moved a resolution that instead of MA Geography, it should be M.Sc Geography. The dean, faculty of arts, Prof Ashvini Aggarwal, has objected to the move on various grounds.
Chandigarh, February 22 And the whole purpose seems to have been defeated. The inquiries conducted over a period of four years have come to a naught with the main enquiry officer H.L. Sharma (whose report had found Ajmer Singh guilty), now telling the university that he does not want anything to do with the issue any more and “he should not be troubled any further”. Interestingly, also the university has found that while the Sharma inquiry committee had found Ajmer Singh guilty, there is no documentary evidence to corroborate his findings. The university Syndicate meets tomorrow to consider the action to be taken against Ajmer Singh but it seems no charges can be framed against him and the matter can’t be sent to the police for further action. The matter of what action should be taken against Ajmer Singh came up for consideration at a Syndicate meeting held in July, 2006, when it was decided that charges should be framed against him, supported by documentary evidence, and thereafter, a compliant be filed with the police. H.L. Sharma was contacted by the university to frame the charges since he had been closely associated with the whole thing but he refused adding that the police should not be involved in the case. It was also realised that Ajmer Singh allegedly misappropriated Rs 1.65 lakh but his Central Provident Fund had only Rs 87,000 and so the whole amount could not be recovered. Also in the absence of any documentary evidence it was useless contacting the police. The matter again came up for discussion by the Syndicate in September last year. Then syndic Prabhjit Singh had asked for details of how much the university had spent on the inquiries. The university authorities will be placing these details before the Syndicate tomorrow. H.L. Sharma was paid over Rs 73,000, R.K. Khullar associated with him was paid over Rs 37,000 and Ranjit Singh also associated with him was paid over Rs 32,000. Another enquiry officer A.N. Mathur, who conducted an independent probe into a related aspect of the case, was paid Rs 40,000.

Conference stresses on better neuro-management
Chandigarh, February 22 The TEE (echo examination of the heart through the food pipe) workshop is being conducted by the Department of Anaesthesia and intensive care of the PGI. Surindra Rengaswamy, assistant professor, Boston University of Medical Centre, USA, claimed that the patient and expert (echocardiography) ratio in India is quite inadequate. Moreover, the number of experts in the field is also less. The advancement can be used for detecting tumours and holes in heart, besides proper functioning of valves in pre- and post-surgeries, he added. Knowledge about the functioning of the brain of a patient (on the operation-bed) plays a major role in the heart surgery. Neuro-management is equally important for surgeons while performing heart surgery, opined Andreas Fiehn from Germany. Apart from this, risk management in such surgeries reduces the chances of mortalities, he added. Balachunder and Kathirvel, both from the USA, highlighted the use of the TEE for measuring the blood-pumping ability of the heart and the abnormalities associated with it. Vijayendra (USA) talked about the assessment of the degree of narrowing/leakage of different heart valves. The next session comprised lectures by Rohit Manoj (PGI) and Bainbridge (Canada) pertaining to the latest advances in the TEE in assessing the heart diseases in newborn and children. Krishna Kumar (Kochi) explained the added advantage of the TEE in the assessment of heart diseases in newborn following surgical repair. Assessment of adequacy of the heart-valve repair and repair of the enlarged and ruptured great vessel were explained by Vijayendra and Kathirvel from the USA. Utility of the TEE in conducting the beating heart surgery was explained by Bainbridge. |
