Tangri men hold builder to ransom
Ludhiana, November 22 The builder, Mahendra Yadav, was allegedly released after he paid Rs 57,000 as ransom and promised to pay another Rs 43,000. He had to surrender his motor cycle to the alleged kidnappers. The builder made frantic calls to his friends requesting them to arrange money. By the time he could arrange Rs 57,000 to secure his release, he was badly bruised, both physically and mentally. It took him six days to muster up courage to file a complaint before SSP R.K. Jaiswal here today. In 2003, Tangri, his sons and Shiv Sena (Rashtarwadi) activists were forcibly removed from a market four years ago in a three-day operation involving hundreds of policemen led by then SSP Harpreet Sidhu. Tangri was booked in several cases of extortion and rioting. He was also booked for allegedly providing arms to accused in Gujarat riots. Though the division No. 3 police inquiring into the matter has not registered a case so far, it has detained Durga Singhania, one of the suspects who allegedly held the complainant captive. Police sources said a person close to former Shiv Sena chief Jagdish Tangri returned Rs 50,000 to Yadav at the police station. In his complaint to the police, Yadav alleged that a woman had been calling him up for engaging his services for building a house for some time. On November 16, he set up a meeting with the woman near Daresi ground. When he reached there, the woman told him on the phone to accompany a man, who would escort him to Gur Mandi. However, he was taken to a building behind the temple at Gur Mandi, where he was tied and beaten up. The leader of the group, Durga Singhania, asked him to give Rs 1 lakh as ransom. Singhania reportedly referred to Tangri during his talk with Yadav. At 8 pm, Yadav was finally released after paying Rs 57,000, with the condition of paying another Rs 43,000. Yadav shared his experience with friends who asked him to lodge a complaint with the police. He said he would not have gone to the police had Singhania not threatening him again for money. SSP R.K. Jaiswal ordered immediate action, after which Durga was detained. SHO division No. 3 Surinder Bansal declining to give details of the investigation, but said a case would be registered. Yadav confirmed that he had received Rs 50,000 back.

Excise department’s
endless wait for FIR
Ludhiana, November 22 Department officials have met the police time and again in this regard, but nothing has been done so far. The incident happened on the evening of October 18 when a team of the state excise and taxation department went to Lakha to nab a person reportedly engaged in the sale of illicit liquor from his house. The team alleged that it was manhandled and its official vehicle smashed. Following the incident, the team filed a complaint at the Hathoor police post. Department officials said their repeated reminders fell on deaf ears. Senior officials, too, brought the issue to the notice of the police officials concerned, but no action was taken. “It has been over a month, but the police is not registering the case. If this is its attitude, it would be very difficult for us to perform our duties,”a senior official said. Incidents of misbehaviour with tax sleuths have been on the rise. Police officials were not available for comments despite repeated attempts.

Protest by College Road traders
Tribune News Service
Ludhiana, November 22 Barricades had been put up on the road to divert traffic heading from Fountain Chowk to Cemetery Road three days ago. While the traffic police said the decision was taken with a view to preventing frequent traffic jams on the road, residents complained that the barricades were instead adding to the chaos. “There had been no major snarl-ups on the road in the past. The diversion of traffic has brought our business to a halt,” rued Vinit Dhanda, general secretary of the Ludhiana Jewellers Association. Shopkeepers of the area today raised slogans against the local administration against the decision. Residents rued that as a consequence of the barricades, traffic chaos had now shifted to the Basant Road.“It should have eased movement of traffic near the Fountain Chowk, but the diversion has only added to the problem. I got late to office owing to the snarl-up near Fountain Chowk this morning,” complained Shreshta, a city resident. Residents said the road where traffic flow had been restricted had a charitable hospital and patients were now being forced to take a detour to reach it. “We have to come all the way from Fountain Chowk for a regular check-up at the charitable hospital. The hospital is a stone’s throw away from the chowk but traffic restriction can prove fatal for patients,” said Usha Mehta, a resident of Kitchlu Nagar.

Pictorial Warning Kuldip Bhatia
Ludhiana, November 22
In an advisory issued here today, Dr Prakash C. Gupta from Healis - Sekhsaria Institute for Public Health, who had recently conducted a study on the adverse effects of bidi on human health, said a section of tobacco industry (bidi manufacturers) has launched a campaign in an attempt to create confusion among masses by misrepresenting the information regarding the harmful effects of tobacco. “These vested interest are also trying to generate empathy by claiming that the welfare of bidi workers will be affected by pictorial warnings, while claiming that bidis are less toxic because they are ‘natural products’, which is far from the truth.” Quoting from the findings of his study, Dr Gupta avers: “Tobacco use in any form is harmful and every tobacco product is toxic; but bidi seems to be the most toxic among all. Bidi is essentially a problem of the poor and a bigger problem among the poorest.” In contrast, he says, providing correct information about bidi becomes a problem for super-rich bidi barons and industrialists. So far, the policy-makers have heard from and acted in the interest of the rich and influential. But now - through mandatory printing of pictorial warning on packs - there is a chance to inform masses correctly by scrupulous implementation of the amended rules. According to Dr Gupta, the relevant scientific and factual information indicates the extent of health hazard that bidi smoking poses in India. “Compared to less than 100 billion cigarettes that are produced annually, 700-800 billion bidis are produced per year in India. Although an individual bidi contains much smaller amounts of tobacco (~0.2 g) than a cigarette (~1 g), it delivers an equivalent or even higher amounts of tar and nicotine, and other potent toxins compared to cigarette.” A follow-up study of one lakh individuals conducted in Mumbai found that bidi smokers were at 93 per cent higher risk of death when compared to non-tobacco users, whereas the excess risk for cigarette smokers was 42 per cent. Even a small amount of bidi smoking has been proved to be harmful - those who smoked only one to five bidis a day had 73 per cent higher risk of death. In addition to death due to diseases like lung cancer, mouth and throat cancer, heart disease and lung disease, bidi smoking in India increases the risk of death from tuberculosis by 163 per cent. Even smoking less than 10 bidis a day increases the risk by 141 per cent, the study revealed. Dr Gupta stated that lack of education among most bidi smokers makes it imperative that they be provided adequate information, pictorially, on the health hazards of bidi smoking.

Trust initiative to revive green revolution
Ludhiana, November 22 The programme focussed on diversification in paddy-wheat rotation by demonstrating and popularising alternative crops-basmati, groundnut, maize, etc. cultivation and demonstrating the benefits of integrated pest management in cotton. Encouraged by the results of phase I (2002-2005), the trust supported the directorate of extension education (PAU) in Kharif 2006 to further disseminate improved production technologies and practices for groundnut and basmati in select villages in Sangrur and Amritsar districts, where enhanced seeds, M-522 and SG-99 of groundnut and super and basmati-386 of Basmati, were grown in two villages, in each crops, under the guidance of PAU experts. The average yield of basmati increased by 30 per cent with half the number of irrigation (12) as compared to non-basmati rice (23). Similarly, a saving of 85 per cent in irrigation water was realised by growing groundnut as compared to paddy in Sangrur district. The basmati and groundnut demonstration were upscaled to 1,000 acres and 700 acres, respectively, in kharif this year by supporting the department of agriculture, Punjab, and the area of demonstration enlarged to include Amritsar, Gurdaspur and Taran Taran for basmati and Sangrur and Hoshiarpur for groundnut. PAU replicated groundnut demonstrations in Mansa. In order to infuse fresh knowledge and impetus in cotton cultivation, the model of IPM, standardised by department of entomology, PAU, during 2002-2005 was further upscaled with financial support to the department of agriculture, during kharif 2006 and 2007. Impressed by the success of IPM technologies supported by the trust, it is planned to expand the programme to over 400 villages during 2008 crop season, as the state government is eager to join hands with the trust to save cotton farmers from new pest, mealybug, as well as existing pests.

Letters
It is understood that the Punjab government has allowed half-day leave in its offices and corporations for those who want to take part in the nagar kirtan (read traffic jams). Normally, the state should not align itself with any religion. These nagar kirtans and rath yatras are a nuisance and causes traffic jams. A few days ago the Chief Minister flagged off a rath yatra in Ludhiana. Already our roads are choked as shopkeepers are allowed to display their products outside their shops. This results in further traffic hazards. A large number of vehicles can be seen plying on the roads. Many have died in accidents and lawlessness rules the road. When nagar kirtans and rath yatras are organised they reveal our poor mindset and least concern for the fellow citizens. As far as I know god will never be happy if you harass your neighbour and fellow citizens.
The government should rise above petty politics and distance itself from religion for better governance. G.S. Gill, Readers are invited to mail letters (not more than 200 words) at "ludhiana@tribunemail.com" or post the same to The Tribune, 1, 2 Improvement Trust Building, Badaur House, Clock Tower,

Teachers against entry of corporate sector
Ludhiana, November 22 All district board schools in Punjab,were converted into government schools from 1957 onwards, keeping this very motive in mind. Spokespersons of the union, Charan Singh Sarabha, Jagmel Singh Pakhowal, Parveen Kumar, Sakander Singh Cheema, Saudagar Singh Sarabha said the policy of Badal’s government of establishing Adarsh Schools and exclusive private and elementary schools, will further lead to serious repercussions. Moreover, establishment of such private schools on one side and imposing a blanket ban on regular appointments of teachers against 40,000 vacant posts in government schools is a hidden agenda to dilute the government school system in the state. This educational policy will deprive children of poor and lower middle class, especially of rural areas, from getting education in these exclusive schools due to fee structures. The basic aim of imparting free education by these private schools will suffer because the corporate are entering the field of education with the sole aim of earning profit.
