The
law does not allow writing anything else than the vehicle number on the registration plate. But, a large number of Ludhianvis are using this space only to flaunt their identity. The moment any person becomes an office-bearer or even a member of an

now.

At The
Crossroads
A keen observer of crime and politics
The
influences, which one imbibes during the adolescent age, seldom lose their impact on the mind. This is what happened in the case of Mitter Sain Meet (Goyal) who is now an acclaimed novelist. Born and brought up in Barnala, he received higher education in S.D. College, Barnala. During the period from 1968 to 1972, he was drawn to the movement that aimed at amelioration of the downtrodden. In 1971, he wrote his first novel, “Agg de Beej” (The Seeds of Fire), wherein he highlighted the conflict between a landowner and the landless labour. The novel touched the minds of the young Punjabi readers as it revolved around a significant situation in villages.
