Pak troop movement speeds up migration GURDASPUR, June 15 (UNI) — The movement of heavy armour and artillery by the Pakistan Army across the Gurdaspur sector of the Indo-Pak border has accelerated the pace of migration of people from border villages to safer places. People migrating from the Dera Baba Nanak, Narot Jaimal Singh area and Bharial Bulge across the Ravi have reported the movement of tanks and artillery pieces at feverish pace across the border in Pakistani villages of Narowal, Chanduwal, Machoke, Hari, Kot-Doaba and Jalala. They said the movement of tanks, artillery and heavy vehicles could be easily heard on the Indian side. While all nine villages in the Bharial Bulge, a veritable island surrounded by the Ravi and Ujh on two sides and the international border on another side, have been virtually emptied. Nearly 40 per cent population of the border town of Dera Baba Nanak and villages like Dharmkot, Gurmak, Dala Talwandi Shahzada, Rattar Challar, Agwan, Thetherke and Khaswalia has migrated in the past three days. A special meeting addressed by Deputy Commissioner S.K. Sandhu and Batala police district chief Lok Nath Angra at Dera Baba Nanak town yesterday to instil confidence among the people has failed to check the migration. Though the authorities have not yet issued any evacuation order, trucks, tractor-trailers and bullock-carts loaded with men and materials have been steadily moving away from border villages. With memories of the 1965 and 1971 war still afresh in the minds of older residents of these villages farmers in many villages have stopped sowing paddy, apprehending the outbreak of a war. The Indian Army has also
taken precautionary measures and built a temporary bridge
across the Ravi near Makora Pattan. It has reached across
the river in Bharial Bulge, which is vulnerable to
Pakistan blitz. The movement of the Army has also been
reported from the Dharmkot Randhawa and Kassowal area,
hastening the pace of migration. |

Moving valuables away FAZILKA: In the Fazilka sector people living near the line of defence have started shifting their household goods, food grains and valuables to safer places following enhanced activities of Pakistan forces along the border. Among those who have moved to Fazilka town are villagers of Pakka Chisti, Noor Mohammad, Churiwala Chisti and Beriwala. Most of them have shifted to their relatives. Residents of these four villages which are partially located across the barbed wire fencing have witnessed battles with Pakistan in 1965 and 1971. At Pakka Chisti anxious and wrinkle-faced Kakko Bai (70) and her nine family members were getting her household goods loaded on a tractor-trailer. "I do not want to take any risk as during previous wars I did not have a handful of grain for my family. While articles and foodgrain were being shifted to her relatives house near Fazilka on the Ferozepore road the family was continuing farming. Jagir Singh, another resident of the village, said most of 250 families have moved their household articles and valuables. However they were carrying on farming till the last inch of their land. Mukhtiar Singh of Noor Mohammad who was on way to Fazilka transporting his household goods in a tractor-trailer said his village was at a strategic point. In case of war the armed forces attack the temporary bridge disconnecting their village from Fazilka town, and trapping between armed forces of both the countries. Mr S.K. Singla, SDM
Fazilka, said he was seized of the matter and in touch
with the BSF and the Army authorities. He had directed
Tehsildar and the BDPO Fazilka, to reassure the villagers
of their safety. |

Work to control water-logging
on war-footing HOSHIARPUR, June 15 — To overcome the ever-increasing problem of water-logging in the Bet areas of Mukerian and Dasuya tehsils of the district, the Drainage Department has started the work on a war-footing. This was stated by Mr Iqbal Singh Sidhu, Deputy Commissioner, in a press statement here yesterday. Commenting on the news item which appeared in The Tribune on June 14, Mr Sidhu said during the recent visit of the Chief Minister, Mr Parkash Singh Badal, at Dasuya, inhabitants of the affected villages apprised him of the situation being faced by them due to water-logging. They urged the Chief Minister to tackle this ever-increasing problem on a permanent basis. On the direction of the Chief Minister, the Drainage Department had prepared a scheme of Rs 16.49 crore for resectioning the existing drains and constructing new ones in the area and submitted it to the state government on March 12, 1999. The work on the project was started in April in Kaulpur, Hyatpur, Mana-Talwandi, Godra, Attalgarh, Terkiana, Sadarpur, Dhirowal, Barota, Nangal Seghe, Chhangla, Safdarpur, Kurala, Zahura, Mirapur, Western Bein, Talwandi Salan, Sabhazpur, Chanota, Jhingar-Barket, Mangat link drain and Kotli areas. The Deputy Commissioner said most of the work on the construction of new drains and resectioning of the existing ones had been completed and the remaining work was in full progress on a war-footing. All work was likely to be completed before June 30, 1999, he added. He said he had
personally inspected most of the affected villages at the
time "sangat darshan" and the inhabitants had
shown satisfaction at the work being done for tackling
the water-logging problem. |

Indo-Pak rail, road traffic not affected WAGAH, June 15 (UNI) — Despite tension between India and Pakistan due to the situation in Kargil there has been no fall in the rail and road traffic from both the sides. Customs Commissioner D.S. Sra said here today there had been no noticeable change in the traffic on the biweekly Lahore-Attari Samjhauta Express or on the Lahore-New Delhi bus service which runs for four days of the week. He said while the bus coming or going to Lahore is normally full to its capacity the number of passengers on the Samjhauta Express had declined but this was normal as such a change occurs during the summer season. Mr Sra claimed that nor had there been a change in the number of Indians going to Lahore nor of Pakistanis coming to India on both the road and rail routes. According to official figures, 33 Indians went to Lahore along with eight Pakistani nationals on board the bus on June 12.

PCMS delegation meets
minister HOSHIARPUR, June 15 — The Punjab Civil Medical Services (PCMS), Association has demanded a probe into the functioning of the Punjab Health Systems Corporation (PHSC), alleging that the money acquired from the World Bank to run the same is being misutilised by the authorities under various pretexts. A delegation of the association led by Dr Ajay Bagga and Dr M.L.Puri, called upon Mr Manoranjan Kalia, Health Minister, at Chandigarh yesterday. In a representation, they pointed out that while costly and sophisticated equipment such as ECG machines and electronic weighing machines had been purchased, basic drugs such as cough syrups were not available. These were out of stock at health centres which catered to the medical needs of 80 per cent of the population. Mr Kalia assured the deputation that he would take necessary steps to streamline the working of PHSC at the earliest. He instructed the Director Health Service, Punjab, to constitute a liaison committee for remaining in touch with the PCMS doctors in the state. Mr Rajesh Chhabbra,
Principal Secretary, Health, Mr S.S. Channi, M.D., PHSC,
and Dr G.S.Preet, Director, Health Services, Punjab, were
present during the meeting. |

Teachers boycott evaluation work JALANDHAR, June 15 — The work of evaluation of answersheets of thousands of examinees came to a halt as the teachers boycotted the centres in all the three universities of the state, on a call given by the Punjab and Chandigarh College Teachers' Union (PCCTU). The teachers lodged strong protest against the "negative" attitude of the Punjab Government and the universities towards their problems. The union president and general-secretary, Mr S.S. Hundal and Dr V.K. Tewari respectively, claimed that the boycott was observed at Patiala, Bathinda, Muktsar, Moga, Hoshiarpur, Ludhiana, Dasuya, Chandigarh, Jalandhar, Amritsar, Gurdaspur — the table-making centres of the Punjabi University, Panjab University and Guru Nanak Dev University. The union resented that the DPI (C), Punjab was obstructing the implementation of revised pay scales and allowances in the non-government colleges in spite of the government notification of March 24, 1999 that extended all the benefits available to the teachers in universities and government colleges. Asking the colleges to send their estimates and claims in unrevised scales and allowances by the DPI (C) was flayed. The union demanded that the provisions of the notification granting enhanced allowances as available to government employees must be given along with the incentive increments, career advancement scheme, fixation at minimum of Rs 14,940 for all those who served in unrevised scale of 3700-5700 for five years on or after 1.1.96. The teachers' leaders also resented that the unaided affiliated colleges had been kept out of the purview of pay revision. The HRD Ministry and the UGC would disburse 80 per cent of additional expenses for all posts as on 1.1.96 to maintain and promote standards in higher education and thus fulfil their constitutional responsibility. Unfortunately, the Punjab Government was not only playing anti-teachers, anti-education role but was also enacting anti-Punjab agenda by denying Central assistance. This anti-Punjab role was being spearheaded by the Finance Minister Capt Kanwaljit Singh and the Finance Secretary, Mr Rajan Kashyap, the union leaders alleged. The union regretted that
Punjabi University and Guru Nanak Dev University had so
far not revised the remuneration for examination work on
a par with Panjab University. The GND University
Vice-Chancellor, Dr H.S. Soch, had assured the union
deputation on February 26 that the whole issue would be
looked into positively on the receipt of the decision of
Panjab University. |

Punjab ordinance on teachers
stayed CHANDIGARH, June 15 — The promulgation of the ordinance of June 8, 1999, by the Punjab Government, giving regular appointments to all those teachers who were recruited in excess of the posts advertised in 1992 and whose services were terminated on November 13, 1997, in pursuance of the orders of the Punjab and Haryana High Court, was challenged today in the Punjab and Haryana High Court by way of a writ petition by Ms Sandeep Kumari and three others. Mr Justice H.S. Bedi and Mr Justice Amar Datt, who comprised the special Bench to hear this petition, stayed the operation of the impugned ordinance and issued notice of motion for July 7, 1999. The case will go before a Bench headed by Mr Justice G.S. Singhvi who earlier decided the matter. From January 1994 to June 1994, , the respondent state had filled 10,000 posts of teacher. However, the government had advertised only 2461 posts. A large number of writ petitions were filed in the high court and the court in Yaswinder Singh Rana's case quashed the appointment of 7737 teachers as illegal. The state accepted the decision but the appointees against 7737 posts filed an S.L.P. in the Supreme Court which was dismissed. The review petition was also dismissed. On December 10,1997, an ordinance and later an Act was passed to provide permanent appointments to terminated ad hoc employees. The operation of the ordinance was, however, stayed by the high court on writ petitions filed in the high court and later on a full bench held the ordinance and the Act as unconstitutional. The Punjab Government issued the impugned ordinance dated June 8, 1999, to provide relief and remove hardships of those teachers who were regularly selected and had rendered three years service before their appointments were quashed by the high court. However, as per the ordinance, those appointments were being made as a one-time measure only, considering extreme hardships of the teachers and their families, it was stated. The case of the
petitioners was that the ordinance was unconstitutional
and without jurisdiction and has been issued to bypass
the judgement of this high court and the supreme court. |

Anti-encroachment drive
continues LUDHIANA, June 15 — To prevent parts of the city adjoining Budha Nullah from getting flooded in the coming monsoons and to decongest the older city by providing 33-feet-wide road on both sides of the nullah, removal of encroachments from government land by a joint team of the Drainage Department, the Revenue Department and the Municipal Corporation, Ludhiana, continued for the 18th day yesterday. The construction of wide roads will make the operation of drag-line machines possible which will prevent the flooding of these areas. Five A-category buildings (multi-storey cemented structures), 15 B-category structures (smaller pucca buildings) and about 150 C-category structures (kutcha/pucca houses) were demolished in yesterday's drive. So far, 95 A-category structures (including many multi-storey structures and some hosiery and dyeing units also), 215 B-category structures and about 1,150 C-category structures have been demolished. The Municipal Commissioner, Mr S.S. Sandhu, said another 10 acres were reclaimed yesterday by removing the encroachments.

roads is going on a war-footing. Plans are being
finalised to develop green belts and parking areas on the
banks of the nullah where the width of the government
land is more than what is required for the construction
of roads. |

Consumers resent PSEB's decision LUDHIANA, June 15 — The Punjab State Electricity Board has given another jolt to the medium-supply and large-supply consumers who apply for new connections or get their loads extended by charging the amount spent on the bifurcation augmentation of 11 KV feeders. Mr Avtar Singh, General Secretary of the Chamber of Industrial and Commercial Undertakings, said previously the amount spent on the augmentation/bifurcation of 11 kv feeders used to be borne by the department itself as it is the duty of the electricity board to keep its distribution system in order. On one hand the board is charging Rs 750 per kw as service-connection charges from all new applicants or where the extention of the load is asked for, and then again compelling the medium and small consumers to pay this additional charges on account of the amount spent on the bifurcation/augmentation of feeders. In some cases the demand
has been raised after some months from the date of the
release of new connections/extention. Some of the
consumers feel that had this demand been made at the time
of the issue of demand notice by the board, they would
have refused to take the extention. |

security AMRITSAR, June 15 — Mrs Gurbachan Kaur, sister of Sant Harnam Singh of the Neeldhari Panth whose mortal remains have been lying in the basement of a gurdwara at Naushehra Majha Singh for the past 19 years has urged the Chief Minister, Mr Parkash Singh Badal, to provide her adequate security as she was facing danger to her life from the other faction of the Panth.

should not be placed above the basement where the mortal
remains of the sant was placed. However, Bhai Ranjit
Singh, the then jathedar, had settled the issue by
shifting Guru Granth Sahib to the other building. |

24-hour power supply sought PATIALA, June 15 — Mr Prem Singh Chandumajra, General Secretary, All-India Shiromani Akali Dal yesterday demanded 24-hour power supply for the farmers. In a press statement, the former Member of Parliament, said the claim of SAD-BJP government of providing free power supply to the farmers had proved to be false as less than four-hour supply was being given to rural areas. This supply was marred with voltage fluctuations. Under such circumstances the production of rice crop would be hit, he added. Mr Chandumajra alleged that the Badal government was deliberately giving irregular power supply to reduce the rice production as they had no place to store it. He said on June 21 he would lead a delegation of farmers of the state to meet the Chairman, Punjab State Electricity Board, to apprise him of the problems being faced by the farmers. Meanwhile, Mr Ajinder
Pal Singh, Organising Secretary, Punjab Pradesh Congress
Committee, has in a separate note also stated that there
was a short supply of electricity to tubewells when the
transplantation of paddy was in full swing. |
