Mr. HS Mann stated that they had raided a plant ‘Presto Remedy’ and seized more than 12,000 jabs.
“In a separate case, we have seized lakhs of capsules and other medications being illegally carried by two persons in Nabha,†he said.

In spite of measures to put control over drug addiction in Punjab, the threat stays inherent in local politics. The forthcoming zila parishad and panchayat samiti polls are the same. The drug path is the easiest way to lure male voters, especially at a time when the voters know that the ruling party always has an edge in panchayat body elections.
However, instead of IMFL and other expensive contraband, top favourite during the assembly elections, cheaper variants are being supplied in these elections. Opium, poppy husk and country made liquor are the best bets to attract the villagers, who are now free after the harvest season. With the three available for Rs 100 or less for an individual, the budget suits the candidate’s pocket.
A visit to villages in Patiala is enough to see opium and poppy husk changing hands. After a hectic morning campaign schedule, evening is the best time to supply such freebies and get “assured” support. While it is tough for the Election Commission staff to reach every nook and corner, the local police is too unable to check such lapses.
“Usually no one asks for it (as passing on liquor and contraband is an open secret) and the candidates also do not directly pass it on. It is supplied through near and dear ones to persons who can mobilise support for the party”, said a former MLA, who is managing the zila parishad elections in a constituency for his party.
“We cannot imagine an election in rural areas without the use of drugs and liquor”, he said, adding free liquor parties are hosted with oral invites by candidates.
It is not difficult to identify drug addicts in villages. “During the election time, everyone gets his quota as per his liking. The only fact in consideration is the tight finances given the election standards”, claimed a candidate’s relative in Nabha. “Usually, it is the ruling party candidates who can afford to spend so much as they always have more chances to win”, he added.
Even the police records suggest that the inflow of drugs has increased with contraband worth over Rs 3 crore seized in and around Patiala during the past fortnight. Three days ago, the Shambhu police recovered two quintals of poppy husk and arrested four persons, while on May 8, 5 kg of poppy husk was seized from a tractor.
“We have issued instructions to all SSPs to ensure that drugs are not allowed anywhere and those found guilty should be arrested immediately,” claimed Patiala Zone IG Paramjit Singh Gill. Despite claims by the administration and the political parties, allurements for easy votes continue unabated. The only difference in this election is that Congress candidates have tight budgets and more checks to face as compared to their counterparts.

The Punjab Education Department confronts an uphill job in striking a well-mannered teacher-pupil proportion in administrative educational institutions in rustic regions as the sum of teachers there are too low. The section will start its rationalization campaign from May 15.
The teacher-pupil proportion in rustic educational institutions did not alter even after the rationalization drive implemented last year.
The number of pupils in administrative educational institutions is growing every year and a lot of the teachers are functioning on demand positions in the cities thus adding to the anguishes of rural educational institutions.
There are over 400 empty posts of master cadre teachers and 50 of lecturers in Patiala district alone and the majority of these posts are in the rustic belt of Samana and Patran.
Punjab Education Minister Sikander Singh Maluka stated that under this campaign, 2,000 to 2,500 teachers would be shifted.
Sikander Singh Maluka added that there were more than 10,000 empty positions of teachers all through Punjab. Maluka added though the section had employed 5,100 teachers, the court had placed a stay on the staffing, holding up the procedure by more than a month.
The department will recruit more staff.

Eyeing to attract customers and improve sales, real estate company Parsvnath Developers has rolled out a plan on 3,000 flats where purchasers will require making a payment of just 25% on booking and the remaining on possession.
The company anticipates sales income of Rs 2,100 crore from this plan that is valid on 16 housing and 4 commercial projects for the coming 45 days.
“We are launching a new system which will modify the dynamics of real estate business. The purchasers have to pay 25 per cent of the total cost on booking and rest 75 per cent on offer of possession,” Parsvnath Developers Chairman Pradeep Jain added up.
The plan would assist the first time purchasers as they don’t have additional money to bear dual financial load of paying house rent and rates of interest on home loan, Jain noted.
These 20 projects are situated in the national capital, Ghaziabad, Greater Noida, Dharuhera, Sonepat, Moradabad, Ujjain, Saharanpur, Bhiwadi, Panchkula and Rajpura.
“We will be providing around 3,000 flats in this system in a price array of Rs 1,750 to Rs 20,000 per sq ft. These flats are under various stages of construction,” he said.
When questioned about sales income from this plan, Jain added that the company anticipates Rs 2,100 crore sales from the unsold stockpile of 3 million sq ft offered in this plan.
The overall saleable region of 20 projects is 11 million square foot, out of which 8 million square foot has been sold and 3 million square foot is unsold inventory.
“We have a receivable of Rs 1,400 crore from the customers from flats already sold.”

Confirmed 8 years back, the proposal to move the jam-packed inter-state bus stand here has not moved an inch, with the enforcing firm having long desolated it.
In the year 2005, when Captain Amarinder Singh was chief minister, a proposal was made to relieve traffic overcrowding and create better facilities for travelers by shifting the bus stand a kilometre from the current place on the Rajpura road.
In its preceding period of the Akali administration, deputy CM Sukhbir Badal laid the cornerstone of the multi-floor plan on February 18, 2009.
The scheme was to pass over in 18 months. The Delhi firm, which was to build up the AC bus stand on build-operate-transfer (BOT) basis paid up the first lot of money of Rs. 27 crore to Pepsu Road Transport Corporation (PRTC) as rent money for a period of 20 years. Each year, it was to make a payment of Rs. 1.25 crore as charge to the PRTC with 5% augmentation.
The bus stand valued around Rs. 350 crore was to consist of a hotel. The Delhi firm failed to start the project on the dot agree to in the contract, even though the Pepsu Road Transport Corporation had given it the ownership of the land. The contract lost its legality when the firm failed to react, and the Pepsu Road Transport Corporation moved the Punjab and Haryana high court to withdraw the land’s control.
“The PRTC won the case in court,†stated PRTC managing director DPS Kharbanda. “The company was penalised for violating rules. The case is also pending with the Punjab Infrastructure Regulatory Authority (PIRA).â€
The Pepsu Road Transport Corporation will forward the high-court verdicts to PIRA and expect to settle things to be capable of inviting fresh tenders.
Even shifting the bus stand won’t resolve the congestion trouble, as the novel bus is only a kilometre off the current site, and in no way situated strategically.

Even as the state administration claims to have bettered the education segment, pupils of Mata Gujri Senior Secondary School in the district, Fatehgarh Sahib, are forced to attend classes openly.
Sources stated that teachers had to take 5 classes in the gallery because of scarcity of rooms in the school complex. They stated that the key cause for this was shifting primary school pupils to this educational institution.
The sources added that the District Institute of Education and Training (DIET) was being run from the primary educational institution at the present.
In addition, the district government has booked 2 rooms in the educational institution for Zila Parishad and Block Samiliti polls to take place on May 19, leaving little room for pupils.
Especially, the District Institute of Education and Training is being run from the primary educational institution as the contractor is yet to obtain the last payment for the District Institute of Education and Training edifice, the construction of which was over 2 years back.
School principal Harnek Singh stated that he had brought the matter to the notice of the higher agencies. He added that around 750 pupils were enrolled in the educational institution and 135 pupils of the primary educational institution had been transferred to the school.
Recently, Punjab CM Parkash Singh Badal had forwarded a grant worth Rs 2.50 lakh to the educational institution but the principal stated that it was not possible to build additional rooms in the school compound with this sum.
District Education Officer Harvel Singh added that the educational institution had enough rooms and the school functionaries had never asked for building of extra rooms. He stated that he had asked the school head to forward a written reply on why the classes were held openly.

During the second week of December 2012, after ex-mayors Ajit Pal Singh Kohli and Jaspal Pardhan had approached him, Punjab CM Parkash Singh Badal spoke with rustic development and panchayati raj minister Rakhra over phone.
“The CM told rustic development and panchayati raj minister to clear the problems,” stated a source in the CM’s office.
“Pardhan wished Rakhra to ask the sarpanch of Dudhar village (where the project is proposed) to sign the final no-objection certificate (NOC).”
On May 13, media reported how the rustic development and panchayati raj minister had forwarded verbal orders to sarpanch Harpal Singh to not pass the final no-objection certificate until his signal.
Harpal had accepted it on record. When Ranjit Singh Brahmpura was rustic development head during the last term of the Shiromani Akali Dal administration, he also had requested Rakhra (then constituency in-charge of the SAD from Samana) to provide his permission to the plan.
At that time, Ajit Pal Singh was mayor.
In the last 2-years-and-a-half, 3 mayors have taken over in Patiala and all have asked Rakhra to push the sarpanch to give nod to the no-objection certificate. Some days back, Amarinder Bajaj, was the newest mayor to meet Rakhra to get his assistance in this regard.
“Since the project was to end the solid-waste woes of the city, we all tried our best to convince Rakhra but even the CM’s asking him to cooperate was to no avail,” said a former mayor.
The detaining of the no-objection certificate has also concealed 200 fresh jobs for the local youth. Heads near to Rakhra state that the minister dreaded counterattack from villagers, if solid waste was treated in his electorate.
The project, despite all permissions from the panchayat, administration and the municipal firm, is stuck for the last two years, awaiting the sarpanch to sign the concluding NOC to allow the administration get hold of 20 acres for the plant. Of the 40 acres needed, 20 acres already is with the Patiala civic body on lease.

The Central Road Transport Authority (CRTA) has forwarded green signal to Punjab Road Transport Corporation (PRTC) to update all the 10 terminals of Punjab transport undertaking.
The overall project cost remains at around Rs 32 crore and Central Road Transport Authority will bear half of the expenditures.
A group of the Central Institute of Road Transport (CIRT), Pune, visited the state during the month February to overlook the working of Punjab Road Transport Corporation. After probing the functioning of all the bus stations in the state, the Central Institute of Road Transport group forwarded their report to the Ministry of Surface Transport in order that the ministry could give PRTC funds to update itself.
Mr. DPS Kharbanda, PRTC Managing Director stated that the terminals would be computerized that would make the functioning of the organization more efficient, comprising paying salaries, pensions and gratuity.
“The Global Positioning System (GPS) that will be installed in all our buses will help us monitor the routes of the buses. We will know the exact position of a bus and the number of trips it has made on the click of a mouse. This will assist us in curtailing our expenditure by 15 to 20 per cent. Since the revenue is fixed, cutting on our expenses will help in improving the finances of the organisation,†added Mr. DPS Kharbanda.
The implementing authority – Central Institute of Road Transport will start the functioning by the coming month.

One of the most former private universities in the nation, Thapar University (TU) came into existence in the year 1956. Introduced as Thapar University of Engineering and Technology, the institution afterward came forth as a deemed university.
K.K. Raina, director of Thapar University, stated that the renowned institution was the dream of Lala Karan Chand Thapar, originator of the institution who went up with the thought shortly after the partition.
The nation then required expert engineers and hence the job was to generate motivated and extremely trained technical personnel for the country.
Ms. Seema Bawa, dean, TU, stated, “The majority of our pupils (numbering 4,000) are from the Punjab, national capital, HP and J&K. Even though we have pupils from the other States, we would like to invite more students from the southern States to apply to TU and add to the existing multicultural ambience of the campus.â€
Another USP here is the importance given to sports. Each student has to pursue any one sporting activity.
The institute is licensed by NAAC and government and scholarly set-up is like that of IITs.
“The strong point of our university is our talent. During the academic year 2012-13, 515 research papers have been published. 60% of our faculty (total 235) have completed their Ph.D.s and many have completed their post doctoral as well,†says Mr. Raina.
A few of the text books penned by TU teachers a couple of decades back, continues to be prescribed by leading institutes in the nation, said Dr. Seema.
Thapar’s placement record has been 90% constantly over the years.
Engineering hopefuls from all over India can apply to the different programmes offered at the TU.
Admission is entirely on merit and based on JEE marks. There is no management quota and seats are given to NRIs in addition. For additional data on admission and programmes offered at the TU, log on to: www.thapar.edu.

The excise and taxation functionaries have called off the license of the local Unique Wine Developer Ltd (L-1) situated on Malout Road at Muktsar.
As per Mr. Jaspal Garg, Deputy Excise and Taxation Commissioner (DETC), Ferozepur, “There was an inconsistency in the official and physical stock obtainable at the godown of Unique Wine, Muktsar, and they were forwarded a challan by our functionaries in this regard. They were summoned today at my office and their licence was called off after they failed to generate the necessary papers.â€
But, he stated, “The owners of Unique Wine may now lodge a plea before the higher authorities in this regard.â€
The pick-up vehicle of Unique Wine possessors was grabbed at Bathinda with around 700 boxes of beer on May 09.
These were reportedly being sent to the city of Patiala.
The proprietors had at that point failed to turn out the papers before the excise functionaries and an FIR was registered.

Breaching the poll code of conduct, functionaries of the Rural Development and Panchayats Department today forwarded ads for selling 863 acres of common village land at an auction in various parts of Sanaur block in the region.
The land is approximated approximately Rs 300 crore.
While the ad was forwarded on May 10, another wrongdoing on the part of the functionaries was the public sale was fixed for May 11.
Sources added that the said move to call the auction in haste may be aimed at allegedly benefiting certain favorites. For, not many bidders were likely to turn up at such short notice.
The advertisement, issued in a vernacular daily, read that the land in Sassa Gujran and Mardaherhi villages would be auctioned on May 11, though the department has given some gap for a similar auction in Churaso, Jafarpur and Maddo Majra villages (on May 13).
Officials in the Rural Development and Panchayats Department said the prime common land in the five villages was up for auction despite the poll code of conduct being in force in Punjab ahead of the zila parishad and panchayat samiti elections.
Regulations hint the auction of village common land over 100 acres needs in print consent from the zila parishad linked (presently polls are being held to choose the body in Sanaur) with its complete assemblage. But in the present case, the regulations have been disregarded.
But, Vinod Gagat, District Development and Panchayat Officer maintained “nothing incorrect was being done and no code was violated”.
Another administrative representative, however, stated that the public sale was being intentionally held at such a time to keep authentic bidders out of the contest and to make sure the families of the local sarpanches who were hesitant of their triumph this time were benefit.
Probes by media people detected that the land under consideration was valued around Rs 300 crore, though it could have brought in extra had the bidding been proposed appropriately.
A number of villagers are also against the public sale. They have asked for a stay on the procedure and an investigataion against the blameworthy. They even went to the extent of charging the head connected (who is from Patiala region) of “going soft on the functionaries “.
When med, Rural Development and Panchayats Minister Surjit Singh Rakhra agreed that the functionaries were wrong in holding a public sale at short span of 2-3 days.
“I will look into the matter and accordingly fix responsibility,” he added.

Punjab CM Parkash Singh Badal’s declaration to float a new firm for the sale as well as purchase of electrical energy has not descended well with power engineers of Punjab.
Opposing the state administration’s verdict to figure a novel company for trading of power, PSEB Engineers’ Association (PSEBEA) stated that Parkash Singh Badal had verbally guaranteed them that there would be no further privatization of power firms, during talks on unbundling of Punjab State Electricity Board in the year 2010.
The engineers stated that presently, PSPCL was accountable for procurance of power and arranging funds for its sale and purchase.
The association said it had opposed the creation of another company as there was already a PSPCL body – power purchase regulation (PPR) organisation – in place for sale and purchase of electricity.
PSEB Engineers’ Association stated that power purchase regulation organization was led by a chief engineer and operated by knowledgeable engineers who had been doing the job for years.
PSEB Engineers’ Association witnessed the verdict as a move, which would “cause backdoor entry of discontented constituents and marginalise the subsisting set up of PSPCL.”
Engineers also claimed that under the transfer scheme notified by the state administration, PSPCL had to engage in the business of distribution, generation and trading. They said that under Clause 5 (g) of the tripartite agreement – signed between Punjab government, successor companies of PSEB, PSEB Engineers’ Association and other trade unions, after unbundling of PSEB in April 2010 -Â any alteration of transfer plan and memorandum of articles of association would be made after consultation with the signatories of this agreement.
“So,” PSEBEA general secretary Sanjeev Sood said, “the CM can’t take such a decision. But, now in violation of the tripartite agreement and verbal assurances, Punjab government has decided to form a new company for power trading.”
Sanjeev also urged for a gathering with Badal to talk about the matters.

On May 13, the National Commission for Scheduled Castes will carry out a hearing on the non-execution of the Scheduled Castes Sub Plan (SCSP) in Punjab.
Previously, commission chairman PL Punia had directed the Punjab administration to discover how many welfare plans under the proposal had not been executed and forward the steps taken report by Monday.

The Punjab state electricity regulatory commission (PSERC) has forwarded a notice to the Punjab administration on its move to alter return on equity in power financial support to be offered to Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL).
Admitting an appeal by retired electricity board engineer Gurnek Brar, the power watchdog has asked the state administration and the PSPCL for answers by June 4.
It will take notice of the appeal on June 11. Gurnek has objected to the Punjab administration’s verdict to fine-tune return on equity against power funding that the government gives to the power corporation in lieu of free electricity to the agriculture sector and below poverty line (BPL) families.
The adjustment of return on equity against cash subsidy amounts to a dividend of 15.5% on the equity to the state government. However, the PSPCL, which is under losses already, cannot be needed to provide a dividend to the equity possessor, the requester has stated, looking for that the state administration be provide a month to forward the due subsidy for the years 2011-12 and 2012-13, stood at Rs. 304.46 crore and Rs. 412.39 crore, respectively.
Before the commission each year, the Punjab administration commits to making the full payment of subsidy but on March 28, 2013, the joint secretary (finance) had planned that for 2012-13, the return on equity of Rs. 405.73 crore was to be modified against subsidy.
In its tariff order for the year 2009-10, the PSERC had stated that the return-on-equity was payable to the owner only if the utility was in profit and the amount was available.
“In a situation where the PSPCL has made huge losses, the question of paying return on equity to the government does not arise,†it had said.
In case the state administration plows ahead and alters the return on equity in the financial support for 2012-13, there is every chance of its doing it in the existing fiscal year as well, fears Brar.

The police officials have detained a person for posing as the DC of the IT section department from Bengaluru on May 11.
The charged, Subramanyam, has been accused of troubling and blackmailing the builder of a housing project after posing as DC of the I-T division in support with Krishan Grover of Rajpura.
Trishla Buildtech MD Harish Gupta stated that an apartment was bought by one Rajni Batta, wife of Sudhir Batta, from him, who further sold it to Krishan Grover.
Krishan is a CA by profession, who after buying the apartment in Trishla City project, near Nabha Sahib in Zirakpur on the Patiala highway, failed to submit the transfer charge of Rs. 1.5 lakh.
He, in its place, attempted to force the manager, Himmat Singh, to transfer the apartment without charging any charge. The manager alleged that he received repeated threats from Subramanyam, posing as DC of the IT section from Mumbai over calls, electronic mails and SMSs.
They then accompanied up inquiries and were stunned to make out that there was no such officer in Mumbai.
When they asked Subramanyam to call from a landline, they came to know that the call came from Bengaluru. Trishla Group inquired again, but found no officer by this name. It then sought assistance from SAS Nagar SSP, who in its place asked the SHO in Zirakpur to inquire into the incident and do the needful.
After conducting the inquiry, he sent a police group to Bengaluru to discover the reality, where the IT section disclosed that no such officer was functioning with them.
A group was again forwarded to detain Subramanyam from Bengaluru.
SHO Trilochan stated that the charged has confessed to his offense and said that he did the same owing to Grover, as he was a employee under one of Grover’s close pal.
On the complaint of project manager Himmat Singh the Zirakpur police have lodged an FIR against Krishan Grover of Rajpura and Subramanyam under Sections 419, 420 and 170 of the IPC.
