Parents want CET scrapped
Ludhiana, June 9
The Public Cause, an NGO working to highlight the problems of people, has alleged that Punjab Technical University (PTU) in connivance with the state government was minting money with regard to its admission stunt, which earns it over Rs 8 crore per year. The members of the NGO, including parents of a number of students, feel that CET should be scrapped and the university must not be allowed to “fill their pockets” in the name of counselling, which starts once the results of CET are declared.
Declared topper without checking result
Ludhiana June 9
In an apparent bid at publicity by fair or foul means, the principal of Guru Nanak Girls College, Model Town, has not seemed to even check the merit list of the B.Com first year, before releasing the picture of a student supposedly having topped the exams across the state. In fact, there were at least two other girls in Ludhiana itself, who had scored more marks than Priyanka Sharma, whom the GNG College claimed to have topped the state.

Buddhist food festival
Ludhiana, June 9
Holding a Buddhist food festival at a place like Ludhiana may not be a good business proposition. As the name itself suggests it is purely and strictly a vegetarian affair, without any non-vegetarian substitutes. However, the organisers at Majestic Park Plaza seem to have taken a good care of the non-vegetarian taste buds of the Ludhianvis with “vegetarian chicken and mutton”. There is nothing non-vegetarian in this food except for the chicken and mutton analogues driven from soya.
