The Allahabad High Court onThursday dismissed a pleaseeking a 'fact-finding inquiry'into the history of the Taj Ma-hal and the "opening of 22rooms' on the monument'spremises, saying the petitionerfailed to point out which of hislegal or constitutional rightswere being infringed.

The Lucknow bench of justicesDK Upadhyay and Subhash Vidyarthipulled up the lawyer of petitioner Ra-jneesh Singh, who is the media in-charge of the BJP's Ayodhya unit, forfiling the PIL in a "casual" mannerand said it cannot pass an order underArticle 226 of the Constitution in thematter.

The article empowers a highcourt to issue to any person or author-ity in the area under its jurisdictionorders or writs to enforce the funda-mental rights.

The bench said that the petitionercould not point out as to which of hislegal or constitutional rights were be-ing infringed. The petitioner's lawyerRudra Vikram Singh urged the courtto permit him to withdraw the petitionand file a fresh plea, but the bench didnot accept his request and dismissedthe petition. The writ petition was

filed on Saturday in the registry of theLucknow bench of the High Court byRajneesh Singh seeking a fact-findinginquiry into the history of the Taj Ma-hal. It also sought opening of thedoors of its "22 rooms" to see "thetruth, whatever it is". Several Hinduright-wing outfits have claimed in thepast that the Mughal-era mausoleumwas a Lord Shiva temple. The monu-ment is protected by the Archaeolog-ical Survey of India (ASI). The peti-tion also sought the setting aside ofcertain provisions of The Ancient andHistorical Monuments and Archaeo-logical Sites and Remains (Declara-tion of National Importance) Act1951, and The Ancient Monumentsand Archaeological Sites and Re-mains Act 1958, under which the TajMahal, Fatehpur Sikri, Agra Fort, Iti-mad-ud-Daulah's tomb were declaredhistorical monuments.

Nitin made fake RC for terroristsSHIV KUMAR SHARMAKARNAL: Nitin Sharma along with his colleagues prepared the RC re-covered from 4 Khalistani terrorists caught from Bastada Toll plaza fKarnal. Madhuban police station is now registering a case against Nitinand making efforts for his arrest. The four arrested terrorists are on 10-day police remand. Apart from Karnal Police, different investigatingagencies have interrogated the accused. According to the complaintlodged with Madhuban police station, an Innova vehicle was recoveredfrom 4 Khalistani terrorists on 5th May. Two RCs, a Scorpio and a Brez-za were recovered from the vehicle. Regarding the vehicles registeredon these RCs, the accused had claimed that they had bought the vehi-cles at different times. He has all the cars. To verify these vehicles, bygoing to the names and addresses mentioned on the RC, it was foundthat the car of the above Scorpions is in the name of Iqbal's son Mus-takim resident of Deodhar district Yamunanagar. This car is near him.The engine number and chassis number of the vehicle were matchedwith the RC of the vehicle which were found to be correct as per theRC.In the same engine number or chassis number, the HAS 031 wasmatched which was found correct as per RC. The second crash hadbeen prepared by putting this in the engine number and chassis num-ber. Another Scorpio car was running on it, which was with the accusedand had been captured by the Ferozepur Punjab Police. The RC ofBrezza number is registered in the name of Rajneesh Kadian son Sat-bir Kadian resident of Siwah district Panipat. The car was bought byRajneesh in 2018. Since then this car was with Rajneesh, which wasparked at his house. The engine number and chassis number of the ve-hicle was matched with the RC which was found to be correct as perthe RC. According to the accused, they have a Brezza vehicle of thesame RC number. Same RC is made on two vehicles. Two differentRCs have been prepared by changing the engine number and chassisnumber of one vehicle. When the vehicle was caught, the identity of theaccused would not be known. In this way, by preparing a fake RC with-out filling the tax, the government has been harmed unjustifiably.

In a bid to combat the menace ofdrugs, the Punjab Chief MinisterBhagwant Mann on Thursday di-rected the SSPs/CPs to act in tan-dem with STF to launch joint oper-ations to nab the big sharks runningdrug mafia.

Addressing a high-level meet-ing of DCs and SSPs here at PunjabBhawan this morning, the ChiefMinister categorically said that incase any incident of drug supplycomes to his notice from any part ofthe state, then the concernedSSP/CP would be held solely ac-countable. The Chief Minister alsoasked the police officers to immedi-ately swing into action in casesomeone lodges any complaintabout drug trafficking. He said nolaxity would be tolerated for eradi-cation of drug at any cost as its sup-ply chain would have to be brokento save our youth who had fallenprey to drugs.

Emphasising the need to tight-ening the noose around the drugsmugglers across the state, theChief Minister said that strict action

would be taken in case of defaultbail due to non-presentation ofchallan in the stipulated mandatoryperiod, particularly in cases of com-mercial recovery.

Showing zero tolerance forthose who are in hand in glove withthe drug peddlers, the Chief Minis-ter underlined the need to evolve aneffective mechanism to punish theerring police officials who weregiving patronage to the drug ped-dlers.

The Chief Minister also direct-ed the DGP to issue detailed guide-lines to all the SSPs not to disclosethe price of drugs seized during re-covery in the international market

as this practice attracts the innocentpeople to make quick buck. He,however, said that rest of the infor-mation regarding quantity seized,location of recovery and the detailsof accused could be made public.

Underscoring the need, Bhag-want Mann asked the Health andPolice departments to work in closecoordination with a focus to adoptreformist approach towards pettyoffenders. He stated that OOATclinics are being increased from ex-isting 208 to 500 immediately to fa-cilitate the drug addicts to get easyaccess for treatment within a radiusof 5-6 km from their residence. Healso emphasized the need to set up

the peer support network, whichwould be instrumental to prevailupon the drug addicts to refrainfrom drugs through their own lifeexperience about quitting drugs.

He also asked the DGP tostrengthen the investigation mecha-nism also so that an exemplary pun-ishment could be handed down tothe guilty involved in drug mafia atthe earliest. He said this step wouldgo a long way as deterrent for oth-ers to desist from selling drugs infuture. The Chief Minister alsoasked the DGP to speed up theprocess for confiscation of proper-ties belonging to those involved indrug mafia.

has become a laughing stock, inwhich it has been said thatgovernment schools will beshifted in two shifts. As per theorders of the government, thesecond shift will start from 12.30pm. The announcement ofholidays has angered the parentsof the students and has giventheir written consent to theschools that they are ready tosend their children to school. Onthis occasion, the Federation'sDistrict President Gaurav Guptasaid that the government hasmade this announcement due tolack of proper arrangements inits government schools, whileprivate institutions have all thenecessary arrangements to avoidthe heat.

NAMS oration award for Prof. DusejaCHANDIGARH, MAY 12

Dr Ajay Duseja, Professorand Unit Head in thedepartment of Hepatology,PGIMER, Chandigarh hasbeen conferred with theprestigious Gen. Amir ChandOration Award for the year2021- 2022 by the NationalAcademy of MedicalSciences (NAMS), India.This award has been given toProf Duseja for the title –‘Non-alcoholic Fatty LiverDisease (NAFLD) – TheIndian Scenario’ for his workin the area of NAFLD formore than two decades. Hiswork on NAFLD includesalmost all research areasincluding epidemiology topathogenesis, risk factors,diagnosis and treatment. Hehas been invited to deliverthis oration in the annualconference of NAMS.NAFLD is a lifestyle diseasewhich affects 25-30% of theworld population. In Indiathe prevalence of NAFLD inthe general population isclose to 40% but the work byProf Duseja had shown it beprevalent in 53% of blooddonors in Chandigarh.

NAFLD is a spectrum whichranges from simple fat in theliver called simple steatosisor non-alcoholic fatty liver(NAFL) to non-alcoholicsteatohepatitis (NASH)which in addition to fat in theliver is associated withinflammation (swelling) andscarring (fibrosis). Patientswith NASH are at higher riskof progressing on to cirrhosisliver (scarred liver) and livercancer. Prof Duseja is aFellow of the NationalAcademy of MedicalSciences (FAMS), Fellow ofthe American Association forthe Study of Liver Diseases(FAASLD), Fellow of theAmerican College ofGastroenterology (FACG),Fellow of the Society of GIEndoscopy of India (FSGEI)

and Fellow of the IndianSociety of Gastroenterology(FISG). He has more than 25years of experience asfaculty with focussedresearch in different areas ofHepatology. Prof Duseja ispresently the Secretary-General of the IndianNational Association forStudy of the Liver (INASL)and is the PrincipalInvestigator of the INASL’slarge on-going multi-centrestudy called the IndianConsortium on NAFLD(ICON-D) study. The interimanalysis of around 4000patients of ICON-D studypublished last month hadshown that around 20-30%of Indian patients withNAFLD already havesignificant fibrosis (scarring)in the liver and 10-15% havecirrhosis liver at their firstpresentation to thehepatologists. These figuresbecome alarming keeping inmind a very high prevalenceof NAFLD in the generalpopulation. In fact, NAFLDhas now become the mostcommon chronic liverdisease the world over,including Asia and India.

New technique proposes to improvesafety in difficult heart surgery

NEERAJ SHARMAMOHALI, MAY 12

Dr Harinder Singh Bedi , Director ofCardiovascular Sciences at the Ivy Hospital ,Mohali has devised a new method to enlarge theaorta to overcome difficulty in Aortic RootEnlargement (ARE), which is a technicallydifficult surgery. He has already tried this newtechnique in a pig’s heart and it worked verywell. Dr Bedi has also presented this technique toa distinguished peer group at the 14th CME ofthe prestigious Association of North Zone CardioThoracic & Vascular Surgeons (ANZCTVS) .The method was discussed in great detail andapplauded by all. The chief guest in CME andPresident of the Indian Association of CTVsurgeons also gave his valuable input on this new‘Bedi technique’ . Dr Bedi said that Aortic RootEnlargement (ARE) is a technically difficultsurgery required in a few patients who need alarger size aortic valve replacement than ispossible with conventional methods . If anadequate sized valve is not put in – the patientwill suffer from an iatrogenic aortic stenosis and

can have a poor prognosis. There are generally 3surgical methods of ARE and all 3 may not bepossible in some specific subset of patients,”Heart surgeons occasionally need to operate ona case who has already had a previous surgerywhich precludes the use of these techniques.Surgeons have been looking for a method toovercome this problem, Dr Bedi informed. DrBedi has proposed an incision in the commissurebetween the left and the right coronary artery andto take it down to the annulus . Then this gap isclosed with a pericardial or Dacron patcheffectively enlarging the annulus by 1 or 2 sizeswhich is adequate.

EDITORIAL

Thinning IndiaIndia is getting fatter. According to the National

Family Health Survey 2019-20, the percentage ofobese women increased to 24% from 20.6% in

2015-16, while the percentage for obese men rose to22.9% from 18.9% (in 2005-06, only 12.6% womenand 9.3% men were obese). According to a study pub-lished in the Indian Journal of Community Medicinein 2020, more than 135 million Indians are obese. Fur-thermore, the National Centre for Biotechnology In-formation estimates that by 2030, India would ac-count for 27.8% of global obesity, which would ac-count for 5% of the world population. The rise in obe-sity among Indians is alarming since it is the leadingcause of hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular dis-eases, certain types of cancers and arthritis.

The Centre is planning to impose a tax on foodsthat are high in sugar, fat and salt. Niti Aayog is cur-rently reviewing the evidence in order to determinethe appropriate rate of tax to be levied on these foods.Will a tax on obesity-causing foods deter people fromconsuming them? One can try and answer this ques-tion based on the international experience with such atax — the ‘sin tax’.

Public Health England notes in a report that inMexico, where 10% tax on sweetened soft drinks wasintroduced in 2014, the total volume of taxed bever-ages purchased over the year was 6% lower than whatwould have happened without the tax. However, evi-dence from other countries is not as compelling. InFinland, additional taxes were levied on confec-tionery, ice cream and soft drinks in 2011. While theprice of soft drinks increased by around 6% annuallybetween 2011 and 2013, consumption declined by anaverage of slightly more than 1%. In Philadelphia, animposition of a tax of 1.5 cents per ounce on sweet-ened beverages sold within city limits in 2017 causedsales to fall marginally in low income neighbour-hoods.

International evidence on the effect of a tax onobesity-causing food is mixed. It is unclear whethersuch a tax would address India’s obesity problem. In-deed, the success of such a tax will depend on theprice elasticity of obesity-causing foods (the respon-siveness of demand for such foods to changes in theirprices), which, in turn, depends on what proportion ofincome people spend on such goods and whether suchgoods are perceived as addictive. If people spend asmall proportion of their income on such foods and/orthese foods are addictive, the price elasticity is likelyto be low rendering the proposed tax ineffective.

Face To FaceDay after day, O lord ofmy life, shall I stand be-fore thee faceto face. Withfolded hands,O lord of allworlds, shall Istand beforethee face to face. Underthy great sky in solitudeand silence, with humbleheart shall I stand beforethee face to face.In this la-borious world of thine, tu-multuous with toil.

Plastics in atmospherepollute oceans

Anew study investigates the atmos-phere as a related cause of plasticpollution in the waters of our planet.

The findings of the research were publishedin the journal 'Nature Reviews Earth & En-vironment' by an international team of re-searchers including experts from the AlfredWegener Institute, the Institute for Ad-vanced Sustainability Studies in Potsdam,and the GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre forOcean Research.

According to estimates, by 2040, thelevel of plastic pollution could reach 80million metric tons per year. Plastic parti-cles have now been detected in virtually allspheres of the environment, e.g. in waterbodies, the soil and the air. Via ocean cur-rents and rivers, the tiny plastic particlescan even reach the Arctic, Antarctic orocean depths.

A new overview study has now shownthat wind, too, can transport these particlesgreat distances - and much faster than wa-ter can: in the atmosphere, they can travelfrom their point of origin to the most re-mote corners of the planet in a matter ofdays.

Today, between 0.013 and 25 millionmetric tons of micro and nano plastic peryear are transported up to thousands ofkilometres by ocean air, snow, sea sprayand fog, crossing countries, continents andoceans in the process. This estimate was ar-rived at by an international team of 33 re-searchers, including experts from the Al-fred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centrefor Polar and Marine Research (AWI), andthe Institute for Advanced SustainabilityStudies in Potsdam (IASS) and the GEO-MAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Re-search in Kiel.

"Air is a much more dynamic mediumthan water," said co-author Dr MelanieBergmann from the AWI. "As a result, mi-cro and nano plastic can much more quick-ly penetrate those regions of our planet thatare most remote and still largely un-touched." Once there, the particles could

affect the surface climate and the health oflocal ecosystems. For example, when thesedarker particles are deposited on snow andice, they affect the ice-albedo feedback, re-ducing their ability to reflect sunlight andpromoting melting.

Similarly, darker patches of seawaterabsorb more solar energy, further warmingthe ocean. And in the atmosphere, mi-croplastic particles can serve as condensa-tion nuclei for water vapour, producing ef-fects on cloud formation and, in the longterm, the climate.

How do plastic particles get into the at-mosphere?

First of all, through human activities.Particles produced by tyres and brakes inroad traffic, or by the exhaust gases fromindustrial processes, rise into the atmos-phere, where they are transported by winds.However, according to the overview study,there is also evidence suggesting that a sub-stantial number of these particles are trans-ported by the marine environment.

Initial analyses indicate that microplas-tic from the coastal zone also finds its wayinto the ocean through eroded beach sand.The combination of sea spray, wind and

waves forms air bubbles in the water con-taining microplastic. When the bubblesburst, the particles find their way into theatmosphere. As such, transport to remoteand even polar regions could be due to thecombination of atmospheric and marinetransport.

Consequently, it is important to under-stand interactions between the atmosphereand ocean, so as to determine which parti-cle sizes are transported, and in whichquantities. The atmosphere predominantlytransports small microplastic particles,which makes it a much faster transportroute that can lead to substantial deposits ina broad range of ecosystems.

As Melanie Bergmann explained: "Weneed to integrate micro and nano plastic inour measurements of air pollution, ideallyon an international scale as part of globalnetworks." For this purpose, in a first step,first authors Deonie Allen and Bergmannbegan collecting samples of microplastic inthe air, seawater and ice during a Polarsternexpedition to the Arctic last year.

Joining forces to grasp the microplasticcycle Understanding and characterising themicroplastic cycles between the ocean and

atmosphere will require joint efforts. In thisregard, in the study, the team of researchersled by first authors Deonie Allen and SteveAllen from the University of Strathclyde,Glasgow, outlines a global strategy for cre-ating a seamless, incomparable database onthe flow of micro and nano plastic betweenthe ocean and atmosphere.

"There are so many aspects of the emis-sions, transport and effects of microplasticin the atmosphere that we still don't fullyunderstand," said co-author Prof Tim But-ler from the IASS. "This publication re-veals the gaps in our knowledge - and pres-ents a roadmap for the future."

Two dedicated working groups fromthe Joint Group of Experts on the Scientif-ic Aspects of Marine Environmental Pro-tection (GESAMP) prepared the study. Ac-cording to study co-author and GESAMPmember Prof Sylvia Sander from GEO-MAR: "The study makes it clear that acomprehensive grasp of the ocean, and ofthe effects of human influences on it, canonly be achieved by networking re-searchers and their data. The great chal-lenges of our time are on a global scale. Ac-cordingly, we have to pursue answers topressing questions with expertise that is ascomprehensive and international as possi-ble. That can only be done by working to-gether."

GESAMP is a conglomerate of elevenorganisations belonging to the United Na-tions. Its goal is to arrive at a multidiscipli-nary, science-based understanding of themarine environment. To date, the networkhas already collaborated with more than500 experts from countries around theglobe on a range of questions. Micro andnano plastic in the air is also relevant forhuman health. In a recently released Britishstudy, microplastic was detected in thelungs of 11 of 13 living human beings."This is yet another reason why we need tointegrate plastic into monitoring pro-grammes for air quality," Bergmannstressed.

DNA provides unique insights ofmoa and climate change

According to a study atthe University of Ota-go, ancient Moa DNA

has provided insights into howspecies respond to climatechange.

The findings of the re-search were published in thejournal 'Biology Letters'.

By analysing the ancientDNA of the extinct easternmoa, researchers from the De-partment of Zoology foundthat giant birds altered theirdistribution as the climatewarmed and cooled.

Lead author Dr Alex Ver-ry said the species was spreadacross the eastern and south-ern South Island during thewarmer Holocene period butwas restricted to the southernSouth Island during the heightof the last Ice Age about25,000 years ago.

This is in comparison tothe heavy-footed moa, whichretreated to both southern andnorthern regions of the SouthIsland, while the upland moainhabited four different areas.

"The eastern moa's re-sponse had consequences forits population size and geneticdiversity - the last Ice Agelead to a pronounced geneticbottleneck which meant it

ended up with lower geneticdiversity than other moa liv-ing in the same areas," Dr Ver-ry said.

The study is the first timehigh throughput DNA se-quencing, which simultane-ously sequences millions ofpieces of DNA, has been usedto investigate moa at the pop-ulation level.

The findings highlighthow past climate change im-pacted species in differentways and that a 'one size fitsall' model is not practical.

"It makes us wonder whatis going to happen to speciesas they attempt to adapt to cli-

mate change today and intothe future? Will they also at-tempt to move to new areas inorder to survive? For somespecies this will not be possi-ble, some species will run outof space, such as alpinespecies which will have tomove upward but can only goso far until there is no moreup," he said.

Co-author Dr Nic Raw-lence, Director of Otago'sPalaeogenetics Laboratory,said the research is a rare ex-ample of the impacts of pastclimate change on extinctmegafauna from NewZealand.

US-China commission to brainstormsecurity implications in South, Central Asia

US-China Economic and Secu-rity Review Commission willdiscuss on Thursday (local

time) Beijing's activities in Southand Central Asia, besides the conse-quences of the economic ties withChina.

The chairman of the US-ChinaCommission board CarolynBartholomew and the chairman ofthe board of the 'Project 2049 Insti-tute' and a partner at Pacific Solu-tions LLC Randall Schriver, in themeeting, will brainstorm the issue ofseveral countries reconsidering theireconomic ties with Beijing.

Notably, there's a growingawareness in India like UnitedStates that trade and investment withChina are not only economic butalso national security issues.

The commission, which pro-vides US Congress with the latest

updates on what China is doing inSouth and Central Asia, will alsodiscuss the ongoing Russia-Ukrainewar, including how Moscow's actionin Ukraine may give Beijing an op-portunity to deepen its influence inCentral Asia.

Reports say that China is active-ly working to shape the regional se-curity architecture to its benefitthrough joint military exercises,multilateral organizations like theShanghai Cooperation Organizationand even the direct presence ofarmed forces in Tajikistan.

The US-China commission willalso discuss that the US, India andother countries in South Asia face agrowing military challenge as Peo-ple's Liberation Army (PLA) sol-diers encroach on territories ofneighbouring Bhutan, Nepal, andIndia.

Taliban suppress protests by womenagainst mandatory hijab in Kabul

Taliban militants dispersed ahandful of women whostaged a demonstration in

Kabul against the decision to makehijab mandatory and also detainedjournalists.

In the protest in Kabul, the pro-testers chanted 'The burqa is notour hijab' and 'Afghan women inthe Taliban's grip - the Afghan peo-ple in need a mouthful of bread,"three days after the Taliban tookthe decision to make "the hijabmandatory," The Khaama Press re-ported.

They took to the streets withthe slogan "Bread, Work, and Free-dom," claiming that their rallies

were a continuation of Afghanwomen's protests.

The protest began at the Ansarisquare of Shahr-e-Naw and contin-ued just outside of the Ministry of

Interior, where the Taliban sur-rounded them and detained jour-nalists, according to The KhaamaPress citing Zhulia Parsi, one of theprotesting girls.

"The Taliban snatched the girls'smartphones and took them away,"she claimed. According to Zhulia,Taliban forces reportedly rippeddown the banners and dispersed theprotesters. She further said thatthey wanted to take the women in-side the ministry and force them toconfess. Earlier, regarding themandatory hijab, the US stated thatif the Taliban do not halt their ac-tions, it will increase pressure onthe regime. At a press briefing onMonday, State DepartmentSpokesperson Ned Price said thepressure will continue until the Tal-iban rescind some of their recentdecisions restricting women's and

girls' rights, reported The KhaamaPress. "We have explicitly raisedthis concern with the Taliban, andwe have some instruments at ourdisposal that we are prepared toutilize if we believe the Taliban'srecent crackdown on women willnot be reversed or repealed," saidPrice. On Saturday, the Talibanleader issued a new directive re-quiring all Afghan women to wearthe Islamic hijab. Taliban's state-ment outlined the steps taken bythe Ministry for the Propagation ofVirtue and the Prevention of Viceofficials to oversee the implemen-tation of the mandatory hijab, re-ported Khaama Press.

The first step in this process isto find unveiled women's homesand advise and warn the women'sparents. In the second stage, thewoman's father or guardian is sum-moned to the concerned depart-ment, and a case is filed against thewoman's father or parents, and theperson's trial begins, reportedKhaama Press. During their previ-ous rule, from 1996 to 2001, theTaliban denied women the right towork and education, and thegroup's stance over the past ninemonths, which has dominatedAfghanistan, suggests that thegroup is once again pressing forstricter controls.

6 in 1 vaccination - a big boon for babiesand the parents: says Dr. Rajiv Gupta

mritsar: Children are exposed to an innumerable number of germs, some of Awhich can cause serious diseases. A child's

immune system is still developing, and it cannot fight against all deadly diseases. According to the World Health Organization, immunization is one of the most successful public health interventions to prevent deaths from infections such as diphtheria, pertussis (whooping cough), and tetanus in all age groups. The 6 in 1 combination vaccination protects children from 6 serious illnesses: diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, haemophilus influenza type B, hepatitis B, and poliomyelitis. Speaking about this, Dr. Rajiv Gupta, MD Pediatrics, Dr Rajiv Gupta's Children Hospital Amritsar, said, "Through the combination vaccination the child gets protected against six diseases in a single injection, with minimal to no side effects. Therefore, it is a boon for children and parents alike. By reducing the discomfort for children, combination vaccination also eases the parent's stress. Pediatricians play an important role in providing information about different vaccination options to parents and help them make an informed choice for their children." According to the immunization schedule of the Indian Academy of Pediatrics, children would need to take the DTP-IPV-Hib-HepB vaccines at the age of 6, 10 and 14 weeks. 6-in-1 vaccination provides protection for these 6 diseases.

The difficultiesbeing faced by of Builders &Developers of Kharar werebrought to the notice of HarpalSingh Cheema by Dr.AmritBansal President of the Builders& Developers WelfareAssociation of Kharar. He wastold that Builders and developersin the state are facing a lot ofproblems which is resulting inmigration of future projects to theneighboring states of Himachaland Haryana. It was expected thatnew government in Punjab, willgive listen to the problems beingfaced by the realtors of the stateand pay full attention to solvethese and help us to boost realestate in the state and so thatrevenue could be generated onhigher lever. He was told thatdelay in getting approvals was amajor challenge to this industryas they were getting completeapprovals in more than one-yeartime, which becomes a burden ondeveloper and project costincreases many times, resulting

high price of homes to end usersand major losses of revenue tothe government. They said thatthey have calculated that abuilder developing a project inPunjab is generating approx. Rs.14,00,00,000 (Fourteen crorerupees) per acre and as onaverage a project of 10 acres’land is source of one hundredforty-three crores revenuegenerated to state government.

They said that ease ofapproval can be helpful inbringing huge revenue to the stategovernment. They requested forsingle window system or self-certification scheme for ensuringall the approvals with in 30 days.

They told the minister thatthere were outstanding dues ofbuilders against EDC/IDC andEWS charges. Builders/developers couldn’t depositthese charges due to bad

condition of real estate market inlast 10 years. Now these chargeshave become a big burden due toheavy interest implemented onthe amount.

1500/- Sq. feet and in the samecity Rs. 2000/- per sq. Feet areapplicable with in municipalarea. How it is justified that twodifferent charges are applicable inone city? Moreover, thesecharges are applicable Rs. 2000/-per sq. feet in Kharar/Zirakpur,where sale price of flat is 60% incomparison to Mohali. Thesecharges should be uniform andfor same size of the flat (25meters) and request to apply Rs1500 per sq. feet for 25 meters inZirakpur/ Kharar Area.

among the leading wicket-takers in thetournament with 21 scalps including afive-wicket haul.

"What we are trying to get better asa team is making sure that one of thosetop-four creates a bit of a base. We havegot some really strong hitters at theback.

"The games where we didn't do sowell, there was a big cluster of wicketsin the powerplay. Obviously need somestability but at the same time you gonnamake sure you don't go into defensivemode," said du Plessis after the massivewin over SRH.
