Hooliganism in Gurdwara Varinder Walia Tribune News Service
Amritsar, August 24 In its preliminary report submitted to the DSGMC president, the committee has claimed that no damage has been done to Gurdwara Shaheed Bhai Taru Singh in Naulakha Bazar, Lahore. The committee comprising Kuldip Singh, Balbir Singh, Harbhajan Singh Matharoo, Harjinder Singh and Chanchal Singh had gone to Pakistan yesterday and visited the gurdwara. It also held talks with the PEPTB and Pakistan Sikh Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (PSGPC) officials. Talking to The Tribune, Parmjit Singh Sarna, president of the DSGMC, said he would also visit the gurdwara on August 29.

He said the PETPB was contemplating creating a common path on the pattern of Gurdwara Sis Ganj and Sunehri Masjid, New Delhi. On the other hand, Bishan Singh, president of the PSGPC, said Sikhs were not being discriminated against at the gurdwara.

The DGP, N.P.S. Aulakh, who was on a visit here today, declined any knowledge about the matter. But if the DGP had no knowledge regarding the suspected human bombs, then how their photos made way to the notice boards of police stations is anybody’s guess.

DGP’s clean chit to Patiala cops irks Amarinder
Patiala, August 24 He was reacting to the statement issued by the DGP yesterday that the municipal elections in Patiala remained peaceful. He said the DGP should instead take action against the police officials who helped in vote rigging during the corporation elections. His statement of giving clean chit to police officials was encouragement for those who were following undemocratic practices in the state. Amarinder said the SAD-BJP combine who had never been voted to power in Patiala have won over 43 seats. In many cases SAD candidates had got 99 per cent of the total votes polled. This clearly showed how fair the municipal elections were. I would write to the union minister for home against the IPS officials who reportedly worked for the ruling party during the corporation elections. Amarinder also held a meeting with Congress candidates who boycotted the elections on his call. About challenging the corporation elections, he said legally these could be challenged in the court of district magistrate. When the district administration was also a party to rigging how could we expect justice from them. There was no use of challenging the elections before the district magistrate. The former Chief Minister was seen gathering his ranks in Patiala today after news reports that many Congressmen of his camp were joining Bhattal and Dullo camps.

Hippo fossil found from Shivaliks
Patiala, August 24 While talking to The Tribune Dr Soni said fossilised upper jaw of a hippopotamus (Hexaprotodon Sivalensis) had been found in the Miocene era rocks (more than 5 millions year old) of the Shivalik ranges. This fossil has been found a few decades after the first hippopotamus fossil of the Miocene era was found in Myanmar. Soni has also found the fossilised jaw of the rarely found pig teeth of the Miocene era. Besides this, Soni has found a large number of other fossils from the Shivalik ranges that indicates the presence wildlife similar to one that existed in the African continent. Among his collections are the fossils of a large tortoise that are now extinct, giraffe bones, crocodile teeth, fish and numerous grass-eating animals, which flourished here in large numbers. One of the best specimens collected by Soni is an 11-foot long pair of the extinct stegodon elephant’s tusks. Only two species of elephants are now found on this planet. These are Asian and African elephants. However, 30 million years ago about 162 species of elephants lived on the earth at various periods of evolution. The Shivalik rocks show the presence of at least nine genera and 22 species of elephants, which had large populations at various stages of the geological period. The elephants whose specimens have been found from the Shivaliks had attained heights up to 4.5 mts and they had 4-mt long tusks, Soni said. Soni started taking interest in anthropology about 15 years ago. He used to occasionally go to hills and saw fossils for the first time at Dalobaha in Hoshiarpur. After that he started collecting fossils every time he used to visit the Shivaliks. His works have been published in the Anthropological Survey of India’s science journal and in a book published by the Anthropological Survey of India, Kolkatta. He plans to set up a fossils’ museum at or near Patiala if gets financial assistance from the government or private agencies.

Intelligence wing to report on graft
Chandigarh, August 24 Sources confirmed that inputs were being provided by field units of the intelligence wing with regard to the conduct of officials of the departments of sales tax, excise, revenue and food and supplies. The last one has been added to the list in the past two weeks as it is conducting the delivery of subsidised wheat and dal in the state. Officials confirmed that the operations were being handled discreetly from Chandigarh on the basis of specific inputs provided from the field units. The district police chiefs have been provided with specific inputs in the immediate past about corruption in a few departments. Revenue collection has fallen in Punjab during the first quarter of this financial year that has led to various suggestions to reverse the trend.

Hence, day-to-day activities would have to be watched by an additional agency, said an official.

Free transport proposed for AIDS patients Aditi Tandon Tribune News Service
Chandigarh, August 24 Besides, the department has issued strict instructions to government doctors against denial of treatment to patients. Seriously viewing the recent incidents of discrimination against the patients, the authorities are also drawing up a list of doctors who have denied patients access to treatment after learning about their status. The most significant development, however, is the decision of health authorities to offer free transport facility to AIDS patients, who are being lost to follow up. Enquiries reveal that 200 AIDS patients from Punjab on antiretroviral therapy (ART) at th PGI, Chandigarh, have been lost to follow up. At the Amritsar ART centre, 13 per cent of the registered patients did not return for treatment. The percentage was 5 at the Jalandhar ART centre. Confirming the news to The Tribune today, K.B.S. Sidhu, Punjab health secretary and project director, Punjab State AIDS Control Society, said most patients dropped their treatment because they were unable to afford the cost of travelling to ART centres. “We are proposing free transport for the AIDS patients, who must be tracked down on a regular basis, as also required by the National AIDS Control Organisation (NACO). Adherence to ART is the key to treatment. But patients are lost either to death or to poverty. We just want to help,” said Sidhu. The facility will be valid for the AIDS patients from Punjab on treatment at ART centres in Amritsar, Jalandhar, Chandigarh and Rohtak. It will, however, not be extended to HIV positive people not yet on ART. As on July 31, Punjab had 2,162 AIDS patients on therapy. Of these, 970 are on treatment at the PGI, Chandigarh, and Rohtak. The rest are on treatment at the Amritsar and Jalandhar ART centres. The Transport Ministry under the previous government had turned down the Health Department’s idea of free transport for the AIDS patients on grounds that it was not viable. The department is, however, hopeful of clearance this time, now that it has data on lost patients to show. If the proposal gets cleared by the Punjab Transport Ministry, Punjab will become the third state after Rajasthan and Himachal Pradesh to offer free transport to AIDS patients. The proposal will also encourage the AIDS patients to own up their status because unless they do that they won’t be able to avail of the facility. Rajasthan has got ID cards printed for AIDS patients. These have to be produced while on board any mode of public transport.

Gill opposes golf course project
Chandigarh, August 24 He said Chappar Chiri was a historic village where Banda Singh Bahadur had for the first time defeated the Mughal rulers in 1708 after their domination over a long period in this region. The setting up of the golf course, building houses for the rich and mighty and the opening of five-star hotels there would amount to tampering with the history of the region. The state government authorities could not be allowed to do this, he said. This act was now being misused in the garb of public interest to acquire the land of farmers for creating facilities for the leisure of rich persons. Seeking the scrapping of the land acquisition act which, he said, was being misused across the country to rob farmers of their land and livelihood and serve the interests of the rich, Dr Gill said the world’s leading democracies such as the US and European countries did not have such an act.
