MC staff dump garbage outside doctors’ houses Patiala, July 10 The employee leader, Harjit Singh, had died during hospitalisation following which the corporation employees blamed the doctors attending to him for negligence and demanded that cases be registered against them. Medical teachers of Government Rajindra Hospital held a meeting after the garbage-throwing incident and went on strike for two hours. Earlier in the day, two trolleys of garbage were thrown outside the houses of Dr G.P. Singh and Dr Jasbir Kaur, besides Dr S.K. Verma. While Dr G.P. Singh and Dr Jasbir Kaur stay close to the level crossing No. 23, Dr Verma lives in the Model Town locality. Dr Jasbir Kaur was in charge of the ICU where the union leader died while Dr Verma is in the Plastic Surgery Department. Dr Jasbir Kaur said the garbage had been thrown in such a manner outside the house that it was difficult for her to come through the main gate. “Neither can I take a vehicle out,” she said. She said Dr Verma had also been subjected to the same treatment. She alleged that earlier the employees had forcibly entered the ICU after the death of the union leader and damaged a ventilator. Punjab State Medical Teachers Association president Janak Raj and Secretary B.S. Sohal in a statement later said the medical teachers would hold a rally in front of the OPD on Monday. They said the union leader had died because he had inhaled the acid which had effected his respiratory tract. Hospital In Service Doctors Wing president D.S. Bhullar said the only hope for the patient after the damage of his respiratory tract was extra corporeal membrane oxygenerator and hyperberic oxygen, which were given to him. Mayor Vishnu Sharma confirmed that the employees had thrown garbage in front of the houses of the doctors. He said the employees felt that the doctors had been negligent in their duties and that cases should be registered against them. He said he would make attempts to get the garbage lifted at the earliest. Mr Sharma said that he had briefed Patiala MP Preneet Kaur about the entire incident. |

Govt exposed on poll
security issue Chandigarh, July 10 It may sound incredible, but it is true. The Commission, after identifying sensitive and hyper-sensitive polling stations in the state, requested the government to ensure the deployment of paramilitary forces during the SGPC polls. In fact, a letter was written in this regard by the Commission on May 24 to Punjab Chief Secretary and authorities concerned in the Central government. But no reply was received. Apprehending law and order problem in the state during the elections, the Commission took up the matter with the Centre. But it was verbally told in no uncertain terms that "law and order situation was a state subject". It was told to approach the state government for necessary action, once again. The Commission reiterated its demand for the deployment of para military forces in the state for ensuring "free and fair" polls. A letter in this regard was shot of to the Chief Secretary and Punjab Government's Home Department on July 7. This time the Commission was not forced to wait for long. On July 9, the Home Secretary told the Commission that arrangements for the deployment of forces could not be made due to lack of time. The development is significant as in Punjab alone there are 2157 sensitive, and 203 hyper-sensitive, polling stations. Majority of such stations are in Amritsar constituency. In Haryana, the number of such stations is much less. There are just 118 sensitive, and 23 hyper sensitive, polling stations. As of now, the Punjab Police has decided to deploy 37,222 personnel for maintaining law and order in the state during the elections. In addition, regular patrolling would also be undertaken. In Haryana, 1,942 personnel would be deployed while in Chandigarh 108 cops would remain on election duty. Expressing dissatisfaction with the security arrangements in Punjab, Chief Commissioner of Gurdwara Elections Justice J.S. Sekhon said, "In most of the polling stations either Head Constables, or else Assistant Sub Inspectors, were the seniormost police officers". Giving an example, Justice Sekhon said in Mansa, head constables were supervising security arrangements in almost all the stations while the presence of gazetted officers was a must in sensitive and hyper sensitive polling stations. |

CAT sets aside AG (A&E) Welfare Officer's selection Chandigarh, July 10 The order was passed on a petition filed by Ms Usha Sharma, Senior Accounts Officer in the same office, who was wrongly overlooked for the post. In her petition, Ms Sharma stated that she along with seven other officers, including Mr Kumar, applied for the post when it fell vacant in February, 2003. She has claimed that since she was the seniormost officer among the applicants, she was sure that she would be selected. In fact, while she had been given 'very good' in the past five years in her annual confidential reports (ACR), the selected officer got the same grade only thrice. However, the Departmental Promotion Committee (DPC) headed by Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) Member Gurbachan Jagat ignored her claims and selected Mr Kumar. The petitioner also claimed that she was told that she was not selected as she was a female and was left with less time to serve on the post. However, the respondents denied that there was any arbitrariness in the selection. They also asserted that seniority could not be the criterion when the selection was on deputation basis. In the detailed order, a Division Bench of CAT comprising Vice-Chairman Justice O.P. Garg (retd) and Member L.M. Mehta set aside the selection and appointment of Mr Kumar to the post. The Bench also directed the official respondents to convene a review DPC to make fresh selection for the post within three months. The Bench also ordered that the review DPC should not consist of the same members who comprised the earlier
DPC. |
Chatterjee for streamlining House proceedings Amritsar, July 10 Mr Chatterjee, who was the chief guest at the 98th convocation of the 112-year-old Khalsa College here, told The Tribune that he was prepared to conduct proceedings of the House and would sit till to avoid adjournments and allow proper debate on important issues concerning welfare of people and country. The CPM leader and seasoned parliamentarian said that he had urged the members not to disrupt the House proceedings but participate in discussions for strengthening the parliamentary democracy. Mr Chatterjee said that he was planning to allow five supplementary questions for the members from various political parties during the question hour and sought the cooperation of members to make question hour lively. The Lok Sabha Speaker pointed that he would give more opportunity to the young parliamentarians to raise vital issues concerning the country. He said this would help them understand proper functioning of the House and participate through positive suggestions for the betterment of Parliament. Mr Chatterjee said he planned to invite editors of various newspapers and TV news channels for better coverage of parliamentary proceedings as he felt that the frequent boycotts and walk-outs made headlines while the serious debates lose prominence and get lost in inside pages. He felt that it was the duty of all of us to raise important issues both inside and outside Parliament which should catch the attention of the common man and the media can play an important role in projecting the issues raised in the House. Earlier, Mr Chatterjee in his convocation address said that education was the key factor in the transformation of the country and said that he was proud to visit a century-old institution which had glorious past and excellent future. He said that the country was safe in the hands of students of Khalsa College. He complimented girl students who had excelled in academics and remarked that although the Lok Sabha had not been able to pass the bill for 33 per cent reservation to women but hoped that it would come through soon, so that women got their rightful due in Parliament. The Speaker gave away 787 degrees to graduate and postgraduate students from various faculties of the college. Earlier president of the Khalsa College Governing Council Satyajit Singh Majithia welcomed the Speaker while principal Dr Jaswinder Singh Dhillon presented annual report of the college. Some eminent alumni of the college were also honoured. These included Panjabi University Vice-Chancellor S.S.

Fearing Oppn, Sonia gave up PM’s post: Sushma Pathankot, July 10 Addressing a gathering of BJP workers here today, she claimed that Ms Gandhi had refused to accept the post of the Prime Minister fearing her vow. She (Ms Swaraj) had pledged to lead the life of a Sadhvi to motivate the people of the country against the installation of a foreigner as the Prime Minister. Ms Gandhi gave up the post fearing the Opposition and her inability to handle the coalition. She was still interfering in the working of the government from outside, due to which Mr Manmohan Singh had been reduced to a puppet Prime Minister, she alleged. Launching an attack against the Union Human Resources Minister, Mr Arjun Singh, she said the BJP government had removed certain anomalies from the textbooks in which national heroes were portrayed in derogatory terms. However, Mr Arjun Singh was changing the textbooks according to the whims of the Communists. The BJP, despite being a major opposition party was never called for a meeting to discuss the contents of the school textbooks, she alleged. She said the BJP would continue its struggle politically against the removal of Governors nominated by the NDA government and the induction of tainted ministers in the government. Mr Swaraj was here to mobilise BJP workers
for the Swabhiman Week being observed by the party. |
Trans-railway residents block rail traffic Bathinda, July 10 The residents, agitating for the past many months for opening the level crossing, where a wall had been constructed after a railway overbridge was constructed, demolished the wall to create a thoroughfare. Though the police reached the spot, it remained a mute spectator. The station master talked to the agitators but failed to pacify them. The agitators raised slogans against the Centre and the state government. Mr Vijay Kumar, president of the Railway Phatak Lagao Sangharsh Committee, said after the wall was constructed, the people residing in trans-railway colonies had started facing a number of difficulties while visiting the main town. He pointed out that the railway overbridge was yet to be put to use officially, but the authorities had constructed the wall illegally. He said the committee had decided not to leave the spot till a thoroughfare was created. He denied that the agitators had pelted stones on passengers. Mr B.K. Singh, Station Superintendent, pointed out that the level crossing would not be opened as it would amount to an illegal action. He added that he had not received any complaint in connection with the pelting of stones. Mr K.A.P. Sinha, Deputy Commissioner, said the civil administration could not stop anyone from lodging a protest. He added that he would write to the Union Railway Ministry in connection with the demands of the residents of trans-railway colonies. |

Hospital emergency sans medicines, equipment Patiala, July 10 Patients coming to the hospital emergency are at the best assured of a bed whose mattress is usually torn and sheet dirty. However, one has to be lucky to get a stretcher and an attendant to wheel the stretcher to the bed in the Emergency. Once in the Emergency, attendants realise that it has neither any medicine nor equipment in the facility. Painkillers, anti-vomiting medicines or others which are used in case of poisoning, including snake bites, are not available. Friends and relatives of patients have to get medicines from the chemist shops on the main road outside the hospital. The Emergency does not have any ambu bag, which is necessary to provide artificial respiration to critical patients. It also does not have any gastric tube, which is necessary to wash stomach. A gastric tube costs only Rs 20. Besides, other small things like splints for orthopaedic related cases are also not available. Medical Officers on duty in the Emergency Wing find it difficult even to function due to lack of even a register to prepare medico legal reports (MLRs). They have to keeping photostat copies of some proforma on their person so that they can prepare the proforma. If they do not have them, attendants of patients have to get them photostat. The Emergency also lacks in house investigative facility. The replacement of even something like oxygen cylinders is patchy. Sources say the hospital has become so hopelessly inadequate in dealing with trauma cases that it is not admitting such cases in its Emergency. It is requesting attendants of such patients to take them to the PGI in Chandigarh or some other facility. |

Health centre of little help to patients Pathankot, July 10 The centre meets healthcare need of more than 20 villages near the Indo-Pakistan border. At present one senior medical officer (SMO) and one medical officer is posted in this centre besides the paramedical staff. The SMO is on leave and only one medical officer examines the patients. It is difficult for one doctor to manage the 30-bed rural hospital. The government provided sufficient infrastructure and modern medical equipment but there is none to operate the machinery which has been causing inconvenience to public. Mr Karan Singh a resident here said that if a serious case came to the hospital, he is referred to other hospitals. Mr Davinder Mehta, another resident of the village said, due to shortage of doctors, we prefer treatment from a private doctor going to the CHC. According to people here most of the residents were deprived of healthcare though the problems were brought to the notice of leaders and health authorities, shortage of doctors at the centre continues. Politicians of the area have not bothered about the problem of the people and residents are forced to go for costly private treatment, which poor patients could not afford said villagers. No patient wants to get admitted to the centre as even life saving medicine are not available there. Given special problems of the border area and its remoteness while poor patients cannot go to centres urban centres such as Pathankot or Gurdaspur, in emergency, their misery gets compounded as there is no bridge on the Ravi because the temporary bridge has been lifted following the arrival of monsoon. Gurdaspur Chief Medical Officer Dr
N.S. Suman said shortage of doctors persisted due to ban on new recruitment problems were temporary and things would improve at the CHC as soon as the government lifted the ban and more funds arrived for providing medicines and other infrastructure. |
