School with a difference
Chandigarh, March 15 Probably the first of its kind among the government schools’ category, this school, with the
help of its gild named “Krishna Eco Club”, has developed a nursery in its compound with herbal plants which has medicinal values. “The purpose of creating such a garden is to inculcate awareness among the students of these medicinal plants,” Anil Sharma, headmaster of the school, said. The Chandigarh education department, in its endeavour to provide green environs to schools, had provided free plants to some schools. “For the upkeep of these plants, we have chalked out a programme in such a way that students are directly involved in taking care of the plants. We have divided different beds of these plants among various classes. We also hold competitions where prizes will be distributed to those classes who keep their saplings lively and healthy. This will generate ‘team spirit’ in them.” Talking about the importance of these plants, Ram Pyare, the mali of the school, said the nursery has Vasaka leaves, which are very useful for cough, chronic bronchitis and asthma; Kala Vasa used as a diaphoretic in gout, fever and whooping cough; Karpur Tulsi leaves that are good for the eyes and help in slimming; Khus root, a febrifuge and refrigerant; Ghrita Kumari leaf pulp, used as a laxative and Lemon Grass, used in perfumery and aromatic, etc. The other innovative idea of the school is a little bird sanctuary. It was the brainchild of the headmaster which was given a practical shape with the help of lab attendant Jaswinder Singh. “This is the outcome of total waste material. It cost us just Rs 100. We collected whatever waste we had in our school. The idea was to provide a shelter for the birds.” Presently there are
more than 80 huts of different shapes and sizes. But no bird is made captive here. These are
all open huts painted by our students under supervision of our fine arts teacher Sanjeev Arora.

J&K Sex Scandal Tribune News Service
Chandigarh, March 15 The two are among the five persons who had been booked under the Prevention of Immoral Trafficking Act. In the next one week, the court is expected to conclude the arguments against the alleged kingpin, Sabeena, her husband and Raman Matoo, an MLA. This will enable the trial court to speed up the process of framing charges against the accused. The Punjab and Haryana High Court had directed the trial court to speed up the trial. Arguing the case, counsels for Mir and Kandey stated before the court that no evidence against the accused had been put on record by the CBI. “The court has to see to allow the defence to tender evidence in their support. Against the statement of the witness at serial No. 39 and no.59, the time and date of the occurrence has not been mentioned. Both persons have been implicated merely on the statement of the girls.” During the previous hearing on March 13, the judge had directed the CBI and defence counsels to argue on the charges. Seeking discharge of Iqbal Khandey, his counsel pleaded innocence on the ground that proper investigation was not carried out by the CBI.
