Baddi, June 4
The Baddi police has arrested an assistant manager of a battery-manufacturing unit for extortion after he was caught red-handed accepting Rs 70,000 from the manager of a packaging unit in Nalagarh today.
Vijender Chandel, an assistant manager in Sukam Power Systems Limited at Baddi, in connivance with Shaukeen Singh, who hails from the Jaswa area of Kangra district and deals in scrap in the Baddi-Barotiwala-Nalagarh (BBN) area, had sent a letter to the said unit under the letterhead of an NGO, Manavadhikaar Emergency Helpline Association, on April 16 that the unit was violating various labour laws and action would be taken against it if the laws were not abided by.
Baddi SP Gurdev Chand Sharma said the letter had directed the unit to remove these discrepancies or face action. A case under Section 384 of the IPC has been registered against the two and they have been arrested.
The SP said initial investigations revealed that the labour officer visited the unit after the receipt of the first letter and he enquired about this complaint. Another letter was sent on May 25 as a reminder. Meanwhile, Chandel started calling the unit management to extend the illegal gratification of Rs 3 lakh so that the NGO did not proceeded further in the matter.
It was, however, decided that the unit management would pay Rs 2 lakh per annum to the NGO and it would be payable in three instalments while the first instalment of Rs 70,000 was to be paid today in order to diffuse the issue.
Harassed by the NGO, the unit management approached the police and a trap was laid where they caught Chandel and Shaukeen accepting the said amount.

Shun smoking, advise doctors

Tobacco smoking is one of the biggest public health threats the world has ever faced and over three billion smokers worldwide are not only putting themselves to risk but also non-smokers, observed city doctors on the World No Tobacco Day today.

“Children in households that permit indoor smoking are at risk of developing respiratory infections, ischaemic heart disease, lung cancer and asthma due to exposure to secondhand smoke (SHS). In addition, as per the World Health Organization (WHO), youths exposed to secondhand smoke (SHS) at home are almost two-times more likely to start smoking than those not exposed,” they said.
An estimated 40 per cent children were exposed to secondhand smoke at home and were at a greater risk of becoming smokers, said Dr Deepak Bakshi, nodal officer, National Tobacco Control Programme (NTCP), Chandigarh.
“Parental smoking, availability of tobacco products and household acceptance towards smoking are some of the additional factors that can encourage a child to take up tobacco smoking. Certain children begin smoking as early as 10 years of age in India,” he said.
Dr RS Bedi, president, IMA, Chandigarh, said most smokers who were aware of the dangers of tobacco were keen to quit.
Dr Bedi said: “When a smoker tries to quit, the level of nicotine supply in the blood is restricted, which produces typical craving and withdrawal symptoms like irritability, anxiety, depression, insomnia, increased appetite, etc.”

IIT Mandi signs MoU with German varsity

New Delhi, May 31
India today discussed with Germany a possibility of collaboration between universities of the two countries where Indian and German institutions could partner to advance their academic interests.
Two MoUs were even signed today between IIT Mandi and the University of Stuttgart representing TU9 Germany and the University of Hyderabad and Westfalesehe Wilhelmns University of Germany to develop faculty with stress on doctoral and post-doctoral programmes; mutual recognition of qualifications, particularly vocational education and joint research programmes.
The pacts were signed in the presence of Human Resource Development Minister Kapil Sibal who held a meeting with German Federal Minister of Education and Research Annettee Schavan here.
Sibal said the setting up of such collaborative universities would be a welcome step to further higher education sector in the two countries. The minster also stressed that opportunities in the field of higher education and skill development in both the countries were enormous and called for mutual recognition of degrees and diplomas awarded by the educational institutions of both the countries.
The HRD minister also emphasised increasing the avenues for vocational education and setting up joint ventures between the two countries under the public private partnership (PPP) model for skill enhancement. He noted that there was a need to publicise the fact that many courses at graduate and postgraduate level in Germany were conducted in English. This, he said, would help more Indian students to avail of the opportunity of studying in Germany.
India, meanwhile, offered to host an Indo-German Higher Education Summit later this year to be co-chaired by both the ministers with the participation of academics.
