| Grading
norms for sports certificates may be changed Chandigarh, October 2 Sports certificates are graded by a designated committee of the Chandigarh Administration’s Sports Department. Gradation of certificates is required by sportspersons to compete for seats in educational institutions under the sports quota and for competing for government jobs under the sports quota. The higher the gradation accorded by the Sports Department, the higher is the weightage given to the sports certificates in case of admissions to educational institutions or for jobs. Certain norms are laid down for the grading in Chandigarh. Now, under a proposal, some clauses are to be added while redundant ones will be deleted. The Education Department will also be roped in to bring the norms and rules more in tune with changing times. A source says the Sports Department is working to remove a clause which has caused more harm than good. At present, grading cannot be done even in the case of an international sportsperson who has not participated in trials for the Chandigarh team. This seems ridiculous for a sportsperson may have been busy with some international engagement or a national engagement which may be more important. Citing an example, an official says this clause will also apply in a case like, say cricketer Yuvraj Singh. If he misses the Chandigarh trials the babus in the department will hold back his gradation. It is another matter that Yuvraj does not need the gradation as one does not foresee him applying for government job or a sport quota seat in an educational institution. The clause also applies for national levels sportspersons. This business of making the Chandigarh trials mandatory for gradation has to go. Several sportspersons have suffered on this count. Another new clause will be added and recognition will be accorded to new sports disciplines like yoga. At present, certificates for such sports are not graded. A clause will also be weaved in for the benefit of sportspersons. This will keep in mind whether the financial position of the local federation prevents it from national level participation. In such a case, there is no fault of the sportsperson and so the clause will benefit him or her. The issue of grading certificates from outside Chandigarh or neighbouring states is still in cold storage as this can be done only on a reciprocal basis. Also, in the list of changes is the aspect that too many championships are being held and keeping an eye on all of them is not possible. A system will be worked out on the basis of which the participation will be judged. A source says in the grading system, participation in an international meet will get lesser grading than a position in the first three in an international event, with similar norms for national level, state level and district level participation. |

You
can’t keep tipplers down Chandigarh, October 2 A few liquor vends in Panchkula and SAS Nagar were spotted open today. A large number of liquor vends were seen with their shutters down, but doing business as usual from small openings in the shutters or from the rear of the shops or kiosks. The liquor lovers who were in knowledge of the locations of the liquor vends in the city and its surroundings had no problem in getting a bottle or two, though they had to shell out a few extra bucks. A liquor vend in Sector 17 here (near the traffic light points) was seen open by this correspondent in the morning (at about 9 am). Another just near the Chandigarh - Mullanpur barrier was selling liquor from an opening in the shutter (at about 2 pm). After talking to some of the nearby shopkeepers, it was revealed that the liquor was selling freely, with the only difference that the prices were ‘‘somewhat high’’. An official of the Excise Department said the department put a seal on locks of the liquor vends so that the shop owners could not pull up the vends. The seals were conspicuously missing in the periphery of the city as well as at a few vends in the city. Zirakpur, was no exception. Our
cameraman's lens captured a liquor vend with shutter open. At another vends, the liquor was seen sold in glasses and pouches. After
talking to some of the vend owners in Chandigarh, Panchkula, SAS Nagar and the periphery of Chandigarh, who were selling liquor today, it was revealed that their modus operandi were almost identical. ‘‘Pull down the shutters as soon as a police Gypsy or jeep is seen’’. |

PGI’s appeal against
compensation admitted The National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, New Delhi, headed by Mr Justice D.P. Wadhwa yesterday admitted an appeal filed by the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research against the decision of the Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, Chandigarh, whereby a compensation of Rs 2 lakh and Rs 5000 as litigation costs were awarded to Mr Devendra Kumar Sharma on account of alleged medical negligence and stated deficiency in service. The UT Consumer Commission had held that on account of not assuring the availability of a proper and functional drill machine at the time of the first operation done on September 26, 1999, by the Department of Neurosurgery, PGI, Chandigarh, the surgical procedure of Mrs Indrawati Sharma was deferred to October 7, 1999. Despite the successful conclusion of the second operation, the patient died on October 8, 1999 due to some respiratory infection which created other complications. However, since Mr Devendra Sharma declined permission to conduct any post-mortem examination of his deceased wife, the PGI could not ascertain the precise cause of his wife’s death. On a complaint to the UT Consumer Commission on August 7, 2000, compensation had been awarded to Mr Devendra Sharma. Anil Malhotra and Ranjit
Malhotra, counsel for PGI, contended in appeal that the UT Consumer Commission had clearly concluded that the second operation was successful and Mrs Indrawati Sharma remained alive till the next day. The evidence by way of affidavits of Dr
V.K. Khosla and Dr Gauri Joshi remained unrebutted and uncontroversial
and Mr Devendra Sharma chose not to cross-examine any doctor or lead medical evidence to prove any alleged carelessness or stated negligence. It was urged that in the face of such circumstances, the award of compensation was wholly uncalled for and untenable in law. It was also stated that the UT Consumer Commission had clearly come to the conclusion that both the operations conducted by the PGI on Mrs Indrawati Sharma were of a routine nature involving no emergency. Counsel urged that the Commission had given a firm finding that the availability of a functional drill machine at the time of the first operation could not be established as the cause for the ultimate death of Mrs Indrawati Sharma. Thus, it was argued that the allegations were inconsequential. In the appeal it was also stated that Dr V.K. Khosla had clearly deposed that it was not just for want of a drill machine that further surgical procedure was deferred and that the drill had no relation with the ultimate death of the patient. The surgeon had urged that since the operation was to go on for another four to six hours, it was a matter of a highly skilful judgement to avoid any kind of risk to the patient that the decision to postpone the further procedure was taken by the surgeon. More good, care and caution than harm was thought in the interest of the patient and hence the allegations of stated medical negligence were not based on correct facts. In the appeal petition Anil Malhotra and Ranjit Malhotra had urged that the allegations in the complaint having not been proved, no relief was admissible under the Consumer Protection Act and therefore, the judgement of the UT Consumer Commission was incorrect in awarding compensation and costs against the PGI. The National Commission while issuing notice in the appeal for January 7, 2002 ordered that in the meanwhile there shall be a stay of the impugned order of the UT State Commission. |

Fortis
impresses Dhumal SAS Nagar, October 2 Mr Dhumal, who took a round of the institute, said he was highly impressed by the facilities being provided, many of them being among the best in the world. He even praised the authorities for setting up a world-class hospital in 18 months. Talking to mediapersons, Mr Dhumal said he had requested the authorities of the institute to set up a modern hospital in Himachal Pradesh. He said his government would provide the necessary help in this regard. He said such an institute in Himachal Pradesh could be run without air-conditioners and patients would also benefit from the scenic beauty around. Asked whether most of the people of Himachal Pradesh would be able to afford the facilities provided by a superspeciality hospital, he said the facilities would be there for those who could afford it and in many cases the government would come forward to help the needy. During his tenure, the government had funded the treatment of 200 patients who underwent kidney transplantations and heart surgeries. Mr Dhumal was accompanied by Mr J.P. Nadda, Health Minister, Himachal Pradesh, and Mr Ravinder Ravi, Minister of State for Technical Education, Himachal Pradesh. The first phase of Fortis Health Care Institute was inaugurated on June 28 by the Chief Minister of Punjab, Mr Parkash Singh Badal. The institute was set up by the Ranbaxy group. |

Massive
turnout on last day of samagam Ratwara Sahib, October 2 While the Punjab Chief Minister, Mr Parkash Singh Badal, was among the surprise visitors to the samagam yesterday, it was the turn of the Punjab Finance Minister, Capt Kanwaljit Singh, to visit and address the massive gathering today. Sant Waryam Singh, founder President of the mission, who addressed the concluding session, said the main purpose of any sant samagam was to provide light to people at large in their search for the ultimate, the peace of the mind or contentment. Sant Waryam Singh maintained that Guru Granth Sahib, a most scientific granth, was not only for Sikhs, but for the entire humanity as it had solutions to all problems facing the modern world. He said that no religion taught disharmony or hatred for any one . Rather it was a binding force bringing people together.

Making
yoga, meditation compulsory for
medicos Chandigarh, October 2 Talking to TNS at Ratwara Sahib, where his institute runs a medical camp for the participants of the annual samagam of the Vishav Gurmat Ruhani Mission, Mr Dhasmana, a postgraduate in Hospital Administration from England, said doctors at the institute had been working on a number of projects. For example, though chemotherapy was considered the best for cancer, there was no way to treat the pain caused by this treatment. “We are trying to complement chemotherapy with yoga and meditation so as to lessen the pain. Then we have developed certain breathing and relaxation exercises which provide immediate relief from pain,” he said. The Rs 700-crore institute not only offers the MBBS course but also runs courses in homoeopathy, ayurveda, nursing and physiotherapy besides those for laboratory technicians and radiologists. The Medical Council of India has now given its approval to the institute to introduce the MS and MD courses from next month . The institute is spread over 185 acres. “We are introducing postgraduate courses in all but four specialities,” he said maintaining that the institute had also sought permission to increase its intake of MBBS students to 150 from present 100 as “this is the only medical college of Uttaranchal.” At present 85 per cent of the seats were reserved for domiciles of Uttaranchal and the rest for NRIs. “We have students from the USA, Canada and Dubai under the NRI scheme,” he said. Mr Dhasmana said that research at the institute was basically aimed at assimilating the best of all branches of medicinal sciences. The institute also planned to start its own cancer treatment centre to be followed by a cardio-thoracic centre. “We have one of the best faculties and we are also the cheapest. For example, total knee replacement may not cost more than Rs 5,000 at our institute. |

Can
police tackle cyber crime? Chandigarh, October 2 Cyber crime, the emergence of fly-by-night computer training institutes, different kinds of frauds with banks and other financial corporations are the new trends on the economic crime front. Skeletal and ill- equipped staff in the EOW cell is alleged to be responsible for the low detection rate of these new forms of white collar crimes, especially cyber crime. It may be recalled that the EOW cell had registered the first cyber crime case last month. A local medical transcription firm had been accused of hacking onto the FTP server of its business partner in the US, after the contract between the two firms had been snapped. Interestingly, the case is still hanging fire with the police not getting any proof that hacking had taken place. Though Vidyut Sanchar Nigam Limited (VSNL) had written to the police here and informed of the Internet Protocol (IP address), the police has till date not been able to get any confirmation about the activity log on the day the hacking is alleged to have taken place. Also, there has been a sudden rise in the frauds by computer education and training institutes in the city. During this year itself, as many as five institutes have been booked for cheating students enrolled with them . These institutes had enrolled students by luring them with advertisements and promising them jobs. However, in all the cases, the trained faculty was replaced from amongst the trainees? Students were not paid their stipend and the quality of education had also declined gradually. Though police has registered cases against these firms, there is no deterrence and the EOW cell is receiving a number of similar complaints. The financing of cars is also a major grey area for the EOW wing. A number of cases where a person would take loans from two to three different banks for buying one car. Fake documents are submitted to the banks and after the drafts have been collected from all the banks, no car is bought. Instead the drafts are sold for a lesser price than its worth. The fake bank drafts , believed to be in circulation in the city, are also yet another cause of worry for the Economic Offences Wing. A female small savings agent was recently booked on charges of submitting a fake bank draft in the post office. She had reportedly been paid through the draft for the Indira Vikas Patras that were sold to a client. A senior police officer, who did not wish to be quoted, maintains that the banks have to take their own safeguards in order to check against such frauds. “The police cannot be held accountable for such frauds. But all out efforts re made to bring accused in such cases to book,” he said. |

Gurdwara
heads told to be on alert Chandigarh, October 2 Heads of over 50 gurdwaras attended the meeting held at the UT Police Headquarters.

They were asked to enhance the security of the gurdwaras and were assured of police security. |
Nada Sahib Gurdwara to be
renovated Panchkula, October 2 Sources said the need for renovation was felt with the number of devotees offering their obeisance increasing by the day. The gurdwara building seemed inadequate to accommodate their swelling numbers. “There is never enough space to do justice to the devotees, who keep waiting for hours on end. When their turn to pay obeisance comes, they hardly get any time. Also, the building is very old and needs repairs in a big way,” the manager, Mr Hardev Singh Bhangu, said. Claiming that the building was nearly 52 years old and damaged at places, he added that the SGPC was given charge in 1988. “After that, repairs have been carried out at regular intervals, but it just does not suffice anymore,” he added. The Darbar Sahib, where the Guru Granth Sahib is traditionally placed, is presently squeezed in a room of 10 feet by 10 feet. This will be expanded to measure 105 ft by 70 ft. With this expansion, the dhadhis (narrators), singing from a separate room at present, will also be accommodated in the same room. The renovation of the shrine is expected to take nearly an year and a half and will be done in a phased manner. The expected cost of renovation will be nearly Rs 1 crore for the Darbar Sahib. The funds for the purpose have been arranged by the SGPC and the managing committee is greatly relying on devotees to donate generously for the cause. “It is their shrine and they will benefit with the work being undertaken. They have risen to our expectations in the past and we are in no doubt they will do so now as well,” the manager said. The manager of the gurdwara said the construction work of the new building would begin from October 5. The President of the Shiromani Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee (SGPC), Mr Jagdev Singh Talwandi, was expected to inaugurate the construction work. The gurdwara management had thrown open a serai for devotees coming from far flung areas, a long-pending need of the devotees forced to spend the night in the open. |

Five anganwari workers
given awards Chandigarh, October 2 Addressing an impressive gathering, General Jacob said, “The Chandigarh Administration will taken up with the Union Government the issue of increasing the allocation for integrated child development scheme (ICDS) for the union territory in view of influx of migrants here. We will request the Central Government to increase the allocation under various centrally sponsored schemes so that ICDS programme can cover the needy adequately.” The General added that from the figures available, the coverage of various programmes of ICDS, including “Apni beti apna dhan scheme”, “Postnatal assistance” scheme for Schedule Caste women and the scheme for adolescent girls required more application as the number of beneficiaries was marginal. Stressing upon the need for making the ICDS programme truly representative, General Jacob said the Social Welfare Department should have a network in slums and colonies to benefit the underprivileged. The anganwadi workers were crucial link between the people and the Administration as they were to identify the beneficiaries and ensure
that money was properly spent for the purpose for which the scheme had been framed. The Social Welfare Department should also ensure that quality nutrients were distributed to various beneficiaries under the scheme, he added. |

BJP
stresses need for unity Chandigarh, October 2 The party has been so riven with factionalism that the post of Mayor of Chandigarh is occupied by a non-BJP councillor despite the fact that the BJP councillors command an overwhelming majority in the Chandigarh Municipal Corporation (CMC). With elections to the CMC round the corner, the need for unity in the party ranks has never been felt more. Mr Yash Pal Mahajan, convener, presided over the meeting. The meeting was attended by Mr Dharam Paul Gupta, former president, Mr Satya Pal Jain, former MP, Mr Prem Sagar Jain, Mr Purshotam Mahajan, Mr Des Raj Tandon, Mr Neeraj Tayal, Mr Jai Ram Joshi, Mr Bachan Singh, Air Marshal R.S Bedi and Mrs Savita Sethi.

Almost all members, who spoke at the meeting, stressed the need to work unitedly for further strengthening the party. It was decided that in future, all briefings about the party meetings and statements carrying the party views shall be issued by the convener only. Mr Mahajan informed the members that Mr
O P Kohli, all-India secretary of the party, would come to Chandigarh tomorrow. A meeting of the ad hoc committee would also be held tomorrow which would be addressed by Mr

SIMI
should be
crushed: Bajrang Dal Chandigarh, October 2 “The Bajrang Dal favours even the adoption of unconstitutional means to annihilate anti-national forces like SIMI and is ready to keep vigil on such elements,” the national co-convener of the Dal, Mr Milind Parande, told The Tribune. Expressing concern over equating the Bajrang Dal with SIMI, he said the patriotism of the Dal had never been in doubt while SIMI had been banned for allegedly engaging in anti-national activities. He said the ban on SIMI proved there was a section of fanatic elements who were in league with international Islamic terrorists, asserting that the Dal believed that all Indian Muslims were not supporting bodies like SIMI. Mr Parande said the Dal would launch a drive among Muslims to make them aware of organisations like SIMI. The Bajrang Dal leader, however, said if Hindus were provoked they would retaliate, though the Dal did not believe in violence. Mr Parande asserted that they had served an ultimatum on the Central Government to create conditions to start the construction of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya by March 12 or else the VHP would begin the work itself. Mr Parande said that “jalabhishek” in two lakh villages in the country had been going on since September 18 and would continue till October 16. The programme was also to commemorate the restoration of the Somnath Temple to the Hindus. He said “jalabhishek” programmes would be organised at 8,000 places in Punjab during the period and 75,000 taruns (youth) from Punjab would be trained to fight anti-national elements. |

City
has big potential for tourism:
study Chandigarh, October 2 A press note issued by the organisation said the planners had provided an extra wide concrete pavement called piazza pedestrian passing centre to center through Sector 17. It suggested that the space could be used to accommodate people from different walks of life. This would also provide them enough space for strolling at one spot.

City
Beautiful’s ugly spot Chandigarh, October 2 Residents complained that internal roads were in much deteriorated condition and that had become nearly impossible for commuters to use these roads. They rued that situation became very difficult during rainy days due to leakage in water pipes and sewer, which ultimately entered their houses. They said despite the fact that they had made numerous requests the authorities concerned in that regard but nothing came out of it. The president of the Residents Welfare Association, Mr V.K. Sharma, said there was no drainage in front of the flats No. 2167 and 2178. Water remained accumulated in front of their houses and on the road. Mr Sharma added that there was a danger of disease spreading in the locality. A resident, Mr Vashisht Kumar, complained that since the past many years he had been living in hell like conditions as there was no drainage in their locality. Roads are always full of dirty and big potholes, he said. Another resident, Ms Swati Sharma, added that tubewells and booster pumps near their houses had also created problems as water spillage usually gathered in the potholes making it difficult to use the roads. |

Yoga
panacea for Burail jail inmates Chandigarh, October 2 Another inmate, Lal Yadav, says, “I could not concentrate on anything and was suffering from backache. After joining yoga classes, I have been feeling more energetic and doing my work more
enthusiastically”. I used to worry about my case, pending in the court, and could not sleep at night. Many times, I had to take medicine to get sleep. After joining yoga classes, I am feeling better and am getting rid of the tension,” imforms Sonu, another inmate.
