MOGA Cinema halls face the music
Apart from the lack of facilities, it was found that none of the five cinema houses here had applied for the issuance of provisional licences, nor had they deposited the annual charges for the renewal of licences. Acting under Section 7 of the Haryana Cinema Act, district magistrate R.S.Doon has cancelled the licences of all five cinema houses and imposed a fine of more than Rs 2 lakh on each of them. The local tehsildar has been asked to seal the cinema houses and ensure that no movies were screened there. A committee comprising the Rohtak SDM and officials of other departments found irregularities in the functioning of all cinema houses. These included non-functional air-conditioners and fire-extinguishers, improper seating arrangements, ill-maintained toilets and parking lots etc. It was also found that the buildings of the cinema houses were also in a pitiable condition. According to the rules, the cinema houses are supposed to be air-conditioned in the towns having a population above 50,000. The report states that the managements of the cinema houses had submitted an affidavit, stating that the cinema houses would be air-conditioned in a year. However, it was not done. While the managements of cinema houses maintain that they were not in a position to install ACs, the administration took the irregularities and the lack of facilities seriously and ordered to seal the cinema houses and fine their managements. Punjabi book on career guidance The publisher, Dr Atamjit Singh, principal of Amardeep Singh Shergill Memorial College, Mukandpur( Nawanshahr), while explaining the concept, said," When I joined this college, I found that most of the rural students are not really aware of the emerging trends in society and commerce. They opt for subjects or courses not by conviction or deliberation but by following others who are no different than them. Parents, except in certain cases, are equally ignorant. Colleges generally form a small committee to help students choose their subjects. But a short interview with such committees doesn't prove to be very useful. We don't have the facility of aptitude test either, anywhere in the district. Under the circumstances, we decided to prepare this book and give to all students of the college." The book has chapters on arts, commerce, science, computers and armed forces. Every chapter, after a brief introduction, explains the scope of a particular field in addition to information on higher studies in the specific branch. Written by a group of lecturers from Mukandpur College, one part of the volume has been contributed by Sunita Sehgal Dhillon, who is a lecturer in English at the Government College for Women, Amritsar. The book was vetted by Dr Rajnish Arora (GNDU Amritsar) and Jatinder Kumar Sareen, an employment officer. Interestingly, a college in Amritsar has also distributed 2000 books among its students. ASSM College wishes to re-publish the book after improving and updating its contents.

To the utter disbelief of his parents, he could not be cured even after check-up from renowned experts in the state. They later came to know that their only son was suffering from a disease in which bones do not get particular enzymes from blood. Although he never went to school or college, he managed to complete MA in economics. He has done a postgraduate diploma in computers also. He prefers to be self-reliant and to do his chores himself. He takes coaching classes to earn his living, besides inspiring students not to be let down by physical disabilities. Contributed by Sunit Dhawan, Parmod
