Beant Singh Case
Rayya, July 29 In
an interaction with mediapersons after holding sangat darshan, Badal
said, “The government will take steps to get back Tara as per law.” Taking
a dig at Capt Amarinder Singh, Badal said he had put the Guru Gobind
Singh Refinery project on hold due to his personal interests. “Interestingly,
he takes pride in this fact. Had it been implemented in time, it would
have put Punjab on the road to development,” he said. Asked about the attack on a DDPO in Gurdarpur, Badal said the inquiry into the case had been taken away from SSP, Batala, R.N. Dhoke and handed over to SSP, Amritsar (Rural), Iqbal Singh. Commenting on the rebellion among workers of the SAD and BJP for the candidature for municipal corporation elections, he said this happened every time before the elections and soon the party functioning would be back on track. The Chief Minister clarified that the government was not influencing the police inquiry into the case against former Congress MLA Jasbir Singh Dimpa. Ranjit Singh Brahmpura, rural development and panchayat minister, Ratan Singh Ajnala, MP, Manjinder Singh Kang, MLA, Beas, and senior functionaries of the state and district administration were also present.

The Patiala connection
Patiala, July 29 The human bomb, Dilawar Singh, and four others, including Lakhwinder Singh, Gurmeet Singh, Balwant Singh and Shamsher Singh, who is still at large, belonged to
Patiala district. Dilawar was a suspended SPO of the Punjab Police. His father was an employee with Punjabi University. Lakhwinder Singh was a Punjab Police constable, then posted in Chandigarh, and Gurmeet Singh was an engineering student. Balwant Singh was also a constable who served as a gunman with a local reporter and a local BJP leader. He was the second human bomb, who was to act in case Dilawar failed. Interestingly, all accused belonged to the Guru Nanak Nagar locality of Patiala. The fact that all of them belonged to the same locality might have brought them together for plotting the assassination. Some members of their families still reside here. Shamsher belonged to Uksi Jattan village in Patiala district. Jagtar Singh Hawara was also connected with Patiala. He allegedly kept hiding in the city after escaping from the Burail Jail.

Claims, counterclaims on refinery
Chandigarh, July 29 The
statement went on to claim that Badal used his “charisma and stature”
to get not just the refinery but other central government projects also. A
press note of the government said during his five-month stint, Badal has
been able to get the Rs 18,991 crore Sri Guru Gobind Singh Oil Refinery
at Bathinda cleared from the Government of India (GoI) through his “visionary
approach and passion for state's development and prosperity”. The
union ministry of petroleum and natural gas has issued full-page
advertisements in leading newspapers of the region to show that the
central government was instrumental in getting the refinery started.
This had not gone down well with the ruling combine. The Punjab government today said it was the biggest-ever development project in the history of Punjab to be set up over 1,200 acre of land having direct and indirect employment potential for 1.5 lakh Punjabis. The government claimed that in a series of path- breaking decisions, the central government had also approved inter-city transit projects worth Rs 3,035 crore comprising a network of four and six-laned expressways in Punjab. It has also given clearance to the expeditious completion of the six-laned expressway to link Chandigarh with Ludhiana and four-laned highways for the Ludhiana-Moga-Ferozepore and Chandigarh-Ropar-Kiratpur Sahib segments. In addition, the Centre gave a commitment to "actively pursue" the four-laned highway project for the Chandigarh-Patiala-Sangrur and Bathinda route. All these road projects would be completed in the mode of national highways and would completely transform inter-city transport in the state. The
statement further claimed that the Chief Minister had been able to
prevail upon the central government due to his “political charisma and
stature” to seek expeditious central approval for generating
additional 8,200 MWs of electricity in the state over the next three and
a half years. The Chief Minister has demanded more share in power projects and also a special scheme for rural electrification. The Planning Commission has agreed in principle to provide liberal financial assistance for our proposed initiatives for full and effective rural electrification plan (REP).

A Revolutionary’s Case Diary
Sangrur, July 29 Prof Sikander Singh, a research
scholar on Shaheed Udham Singh’s life and works, said today no one
knew about the whereabouts of the sons of the martyr even today as they
had neither exposed themselves as sons of Shaheed Udham Singh nor made a
claim to this effect so far. In the light of this, the Central and
Punjab governments should initiate steps to locate the sons of the great
martyr, as they were not the sons of Udham Singh only, but of India also
now, he added. Prof Sikandar Singh added that as per the statement of Udham Singh, made on September 9, 1927, at City Kotwali, Amritsar, he reached Claremont in California (USA) in February 1922 where he got a job in the mechanical section of Hudson garage. There he became acquainted with an American girl, Lloope, with whom he solemnised marriage in 1923 at Long Beach (USA) where he had found a job in the Aero-plane Department of a company. As Udham Singh was associated with the Gadar Party, the party shifted him to New York in the last week of December 1924 for organising revolutionary activities from there. Udham Singh had said in a statement that he had two sons from his American wife, Lloope, with whom he stayed at Lexington Avenue in New York up to 1927. Prof
Sikander Singh, who visited the USA from December 2006 to February 2007
for research on Shaheed Udham Singh and locate the whereabouts of the
sons of the martyr, told this reporter that he had come to know from a
Claremont resident, Leo, who claimed to be a classfellow of the sons of
Shaheed Udham Singh in 1932 at Claremont’s Sacramento School, that in
those days Udham Singh’s sons had been called “Indian’s sons”.
As per Leo’s statement, Lloope, the mother of the “Indian’s sons”
was very beautiful and talented with big eyes, who died before 1935.
After that Lloope’s sons left for Arizona (USA) with a relative of
their mother, he added.

Poll List
Patiala, July 29 As many as 18 sitting councillors have been denied tickets and a number of new and inexperienced faces have been fielded in their places.

SAD-BJP activists in tug of war
Abohar, July 29 The
commission agents alleged that these persons were removing the skin of a
dead cow in an unauthorised cremation ground between the new grain
market and Ajit Singh Nagar. SAD district general secretary Surinder
Saluja said he would bring it to the notice of Chief Minister that some
senior BJP leaders had been getting “underhand payments” from a
group involved in lifting dead animals from different parts of the town. The Congress-led municipal council had not revised the contract for lifting dead animals last year following complaints from different quarters that the contractors indulged in poisoning stray cattle to mint money. Sources in the BJP, however, denied the allegations.

Villages sweat it out for atta-dal
Khanpur (Kharar), July 29 All families, converged at village dharamshala, were kept waiting for three to four hours before being informed that the distribution of cards has been cancelled. Reason is that the code of conduct was imposed due to the Kharar Municipal Council byelections. "I have been waiting since 9 am. And now its 11:30 am. We were earlier asked to go all the way to the office of the district food supply controller at Mohali and collect cards. Later, we were informed that cards will be given on August 10," said Harnam Kaur, a village women in queue. The DFSC Rakesh Bhaskar and his subordinates had reached the village laced with lists of blue-cards beneficiaries, the cards and other requisite documents. They had been directed to distribute these cards in the village, instead of summoning them to the DFSC office in Mohali. "We have been informed that the code of conduct has been imposed due to the municipal council Kharar byelections of Ward number 8. So it would have been the violation of the code of conduct to distribute cards today," said Bhaskar. The election is pending on August 8. Meanwhile, the work of distributing cards in Dera Bassi, Majri and Kurali was completed. A total of 1,484 families will be given blue cards in entire Mohali.

Women in narcotics trade worries police
Abohar, July 29 The police nabbed Palo Rani, Lakhi, Raji and Manjit Kaur near Shergarh and Bakainwala, close to Pakistan border, and recovered 11 kg poppy husk from them. Interrogation revealed that they had been smuggling poppy from the neighbouring district Sriganganagar where the contraband was available easily at government-approved sale outlets. The women said their daily-wage earning husbands had been wasting much of the money on consuming liquor forcing them to enter in drug trafficking that fetched them a margin of Rs 150 per kg. Another woman resident of the local Government Seed Farm Colony, inhabited by former farm workers, was arrested doing retail selling of smack in the notorious locality. Parampal
Singh said a major chunk of 1 kg smack recovered during recent raids had
come from women. Earlier, there was feedback that drug addicts had been
frequenting Sadulshehar on the other side of the inter-state border, but
the police now found that drug trafficker Asha Rani and her daughter
Rajni had started visiting the colony for retail sale of smack. Rajni’s
18-month-old child will also stay in jail during judicial remand now.
The police had recovered 400 gm smack from them. Another woman in the upper streets of Nai Abadi here had been selling smack for a long time and involved her daughter and daughter-in-law also in the business. All of them had been arrested during raids in the past quarter of the year. Drug peddlers had for a short period stopped using women as carriers or retail sellers, but the menace had re-developed recently. The police will smash it, he hoped.

Kohli’s family claims his innocence Akash Ghai Tribune News Service
Chandigarh, July 29 Kohli was handed over to the British police and would be tried for the rape and murder of Hannah Foster, a British student. Talking to TNS at his residence, Jagjit Singh Kohli, father of Maninder, alleged that his son was innocent and they have ample evidence to prove it. But, everything was ignored intentionally to clear the way for extradition just to please the British government. He rued: “On one hand the government went out of way to help Haneef and on the other, in our case, it has shown extra swiftness in handing over its own citizen to another country to face trial. Nadeem, the music director who is said to have a hand in the murder of Gulshan Kumar, has been living a lavish life in England. Their government has refused his extradition to India. Why has not the Indian government helped my son?” “It took the authorities only 20 hours to send Maninder back to England after the Supreme Court pronouncement its judgement. They did not give us even a chance to meet him,” lamented the hapless father. Jagjit Singh, a retiree from the Industries Department, Punjab, alleged that his son has become victim of racial discrimination and his Briton colleague implicated him in a false case. Ishtpreet Singh, younger brother of Maninder, said they had filed a SLP in the Delhi High Court on the evening of July 27. “But now it’s all over,” he said. Hoping for a silver lining, the family feels that the justice would be meted out in the UK. When asked about Maninder’s confession to the crime before the Punjab police, Ishtpreet said the confession was extracted out of him under duress. Meanwhile, it is learnt that Maninder was interrogated at Alton Police Station where charges of rape and murder of Hannah Foster have been framed against him.

An ailing medical college
Faridkot, July 29 Woefully short infrastructure, lack of sophisticated gadgets required for the training of doctors and treating patients, besides the absence of lecture theatres, have cast serious doubt on the efficiency of the institution. The staff of these two institutions has been agitating for the past
fortnight. The current face off between GGSMCH and the state government is the result of a notification issued by the former Congress-run state government. The notification stated that the control of GGSMCH would be shifted from the Punjab government to the Baba Faridkot University of Health Sciences. This has compounded the problem and crippled even the normal services of the institution, which is the main source of treatment for people, especially from the lower income group, in the Malwa belt. In the absence of a clear policy for the health institution and fearing for their uncertain future, a number of senior faculty members have tendered resignations and joined the highly remunerative private health sector. This has reduced the number of faculty members in the institution to the lowest ever. A look at the number of specialists available in the institution makes the picture crystal clear. Against the approved strength of 24 professors, only eight are available and three associate professors are working against the six approved seats. Merely seven assistant professors are available against the required 26 while six posts of senior lecturers are lying vacant and same number of posts are unoccupied in lecturer grade. Seven seats of medical officer and four posts of other gazetted staff are lying vacant. G.S Gill of the Joint Action Committee of GGSMCH said over 600 gazetted and non-gazetted employees were working in these two institutions and most of them had put in 20 to 25 years of service. He reasoned that the major cause behind exodus of the faculty was clause 3 which declared that the existing strength of staff as on October 31, 2006, had been frozen and all cadres were announced to be "dying cadres". A visit to the university campus revealed that the college was being run in the erstwhile FCI warehouse. Students allege that tin sheets had been put in the name of roof and these leaked during the rainy season. They complained that even ventilators, CT scan and other necessary equipment was not available in the college and added that even the electrical system and apparatus were insufficient and faulty. Dr Ravinder Singh, vice-chancellor, Baba Farid University of Health Sciences, said shortage of staff and absence of equipment were not new problems. It was only in November that these institutions came under the control of the university and the grant was yet to come, he stressed. Meanwhile, describing the shortage as severe, the vice-chancellor added that they had hired as many as 70 doctors on their own on contract basis. Admitting that these institutions were facing nearly 60 per cent staff shortage, he said in spite of this the government had shifted about 10 doctors from the college. The university had intimated the state government several times about the problems, he
added.

Festival. The committee also took a decision to increase the amount of subsidy to the hosting college to Rs. 75,000 which will be at par with colleges hosting other traditional youth festivals.
