Dalit woman is sarpanch of Punjab village
PHULL: A 21-year-old Dalit girl has become sarpanch of this village in Kapurthala district in the recently-held panchayat polls. Sukhi had not imagined, even in her wildest dreams — engrossed as she was in household chores and stitching to help her family make ends meet — that she would one day head the village. In fact, mother Piar Kaur was to contest the election but after her voter's card was lost, she had to shelve the plan. Sukhi's father Sucha Ram, a mason who had returned from Dubai some time back, was determined that somebody from the family contest the election and that was when Sukhi entered the fray. As the seat was reserved for an SC woman candidate and she happened to fulfil the requirements, there was no looking back. "I also wanted to be active in social life but could not get a chance," Sukhi said, while adding that destiny gave her the opportunity and villagers also supported her wholeheartedly. If the lost card of her mother forced the candidature on her, it was a margin ...

Manoranjan Kalia blames Congress govt for anti-Punjab stance
CHANDIGARH: The Punjab Local Bodies and Industry Minister and senior BJP leader Manoranjan Kalia Sundya blamed successive Congress governments at the centre of pursuing a "consistent and conscious anti-Punjab policies on religious, social, political and economic fronts since independence. By doing this, the Congress has always been trying to bleed the country's sword arm and dig holes in the nation's food bowl." Kalia demanded a special economic package for the development of the state. Speaking at the BJP's National executive Committee meeting in New Delhi this afternoon, Kalia said that the post-Independence history of the country is replete with instances of the purposely anti-Punjab and even anti-Sikh policies of the Congress party and its governemnts in New Delhi and Chandigarh. Their obsession with anti-Punjabism is so pronounced that they did not spare even the emotional and spiritual moments like the 400th anniversary of the installation Sri Guru Granth Sahib which the whole world ...

Punjab VIPs’ pride is the police’s worry
Over 10% of the state force is wasted in guarding politicians and bureaucrats, for whom security personnel are a status symbol CHANDIGARH: Chivalrous they may be, but the Punjabis’ new-found penchant for security guards has put the state police in a quandary. It is not peculiar that Akali Dal MLA from Beas Manjinder Singh Kang is guarded by 63 police personnel, including a dozen commandos, even if he does not list among VIPs facing threat to their lives. Last week, deputy speaker of the legislative assembly Sat Pal Gosain raised a hue and cry when the state government decided to slash his security from 19 to 14 men. He immediately shot off a letter to DGP NPS Aulakh protesting the move, even though he is officially entitled to only four guards. According to an official estimate, over 10% of the Punjab Police force serves as security men to various important, and unimportant people, despite the state not witnessing a single militant attack on an individual in the last 12 years. A senior ...

Aussies show strength in IPL
THE hype and hoopla surrounding cricket's rich new Indian Premier League seems to be working. Australian stars including Shane Warne, Ricky Ponting, Mike Hussey, Matthew Hayden, Brett Lee and Glenn McGrath have all featured prominently in the league's opening games. Hussey smashed 116 not out from 54 balls to guide the Chennai Super Kings to a 33-run victory over the Kings XI Punjab in Mohali on Saturday. The crowd of around 15,000 was treated to a feast of big hitting with 447 runs scored in 40 overs. The Chennai batsmen cleared the boundary 16 times in its innings to equal the Twenty20 record, while the 25 sixes hit during the game was the second-highest total ever. Hussey did not receive a bid in the first round of the IPL player auction and was eventually picked up by the Chennai team from the reserve list at a much lower price than some lesser-known players, including his brother David. Australian James Hopes, who plays for Kings XI Punjab, had an eventful match conceding a ...
