Lesson to learn:
Say No to Tobacco
29 year old Satish Kumar Sansi, working as a cobbler on the roadsides in Delhi, is suffering from cancer for the last two and a half months which has been caused due to chewing of GUTKA TOBACCO. Out of his five family members suffering from cancer, three have already died, the three being his father, elder brother and paternal uncle. His other elder brother is also suffering from cancer.Patient Satish Kumar went to TATA Memorial Hospital, Bombay for treatment but the treatment could not even be initiated as he was unable to afford any expense for his treatment.
Now he has approached Advocate Ashok Agarwal, Member, Monitoring Committee on Free Treatment Facility in Identified Private Hospitals, for free treatment and he has accordingly been sent to Max Super Speciality Hospital, Saket for free treatment.
Remembering Communist Martyrs
Pledge to fight for a society based on justice and equality
On the occasion of 23nd martyrdom anniversary of Com Gurmail Singh Hunjan and Com Joginder Singh who fought against separatist designs of Khalisatni terrorists and laid down their lives for integrity and sovereignty of the country, a mammoth public meeting was organised at their native village Pandher Kheri, Block Dehlon, Distt. Ludhiana where like previous years thousands of people gathered to pay homage to the beloved leaders. While paying homage Com Dr Joginder Dayal, Member Central Executive Committee CPI praised the glorious role of comrades in Punjab who did not care for their lives to save integrity of the nation during the days of terrorism in Punjab. Their fight against separatism bears no parallel. As a result of that the lost glory of state of Punjab was restored. He cautioned that similar danger signals are appearing again with the exhibition of Bhindranwala and other terrorists. It is a serious matter that the present Akali BJP government is completely ignoring such development and sheltering such elements. State Secretariat Member of the CPI Com Bant Singh Brar said that on the one side communists have to fight out such tendencies alongside the struggle for socio economic justice. After the neoliberal economic policies the working class, peasantry and other toiling masses are hit hard due to job freeze, under employment, insecurity of jobs, rising prices of essential items and inability to afford the high cost of health and education. The super rich are being given subsidies while the govt. is taking away all subsidies from the poor people. In Punjab, he said, the public sector is being scuttled blatantly. Referring to the transport he said he said that whereas the govt. run buses are being run on non profit timings, the private buses owned by the CM and his kins are being tax concessions and highly profitable timings causing immense loss to the exchequer.Com Kartar Singh Bowani – Distt. Secretary CPI said that the deteriorating law and order situation in Punjab is a very serious matter. He expressed deep concern at the falling economic condition of the farmers in Punjab leading to suicide by them. Com Sukhminder Sekhon-Secretary CPI Ludhiana, Dr.Arun Mitra, Com O.P.Mehta, Com Ramesh Rattan, Com.Gulzar Goria, Amar Singh Bhattian, Mewa Singh-Raikot, Bhagwan Singh-Maloud, Com D.P.Maur Com Surinder Singh Jalaldiwal, Dr.Gulzar Pandher, Principal Jagjit Singh, Com.Paramjit Sehora, Com.Kulwant Singh Hunjan also gave tribute to the martyrs. Com Gulzar Goria compeered the event.
The function was presided over by Mrs.Sharanjit Kaur and Mrs.Harbans Kaurs widows of the martyrs. Com Sharanjti Kaur gave scholarship to the students of the village schools who have scored first and second position. Revolutionary cultural programme was presented by Sushma and Babby.

Dr Bedi is a pioneer in beating heart surgery
A new chapter of success added in CMC
Ludhiana, 12th May, 2012 (Shalu Arora and Rector Kathuria) Mr Jagdev Singh was in a very difficult situation. He was suffering from severe heart disease. All his heart arteries were blocked. He had earlier had 2 stents put in – but they too had blocked. He was at a grave risk of suffering from a major potentially fatal heart attack. Added to this was the fact that both his kidneys had failed and he was on continuous peritoneal dialysis.
He was seen by Dr Harinder Singh Bedi – Head of Cardio Vascular and Thoracic Surgery - at the prestigious Christian Medical College and Hospital, Ludhiana. Dr Bedi consulted Dr Timothy - Head of Nephrology and it was realised that the though the patient needed an early bypass surgery but because of his kidney failure he was at a great risk. This is because the conventional on pump CABG produces an inherent kidney failure of its own which when added to the existing problem would have been difficult for the patient’s body to handle. So he underwent a triple beating heart bypass which was preceded by a cycle of dialysis and followed by routine peritoneal dialysis cycles. Dr Bedi has trained at the St Vincents Hospital in Sydney where he has seen such cases deteriorating rapidly with conventional surgery
The other members of the cardiac team involved in this marathon surgery were Dr Allen, Dr S Garg , Dr Melchi , Dr Paul, Dr D Arora , Dr Saavan , Dr Pearl and Dr Neelakshi . The kidney failure and dialysis technicalities were taken care of by the superspecialist team of nephrologists headed by Dr Timothy – his team included Dr Jasmin and Dr Pratish . In a CABG patient the greatest risk is low blood pressure but this was tackled by doing a beating heart triple bypass surgery.
Mr Jagdev is now doing well. Dr Bedi is a pioneer in beating heart surgery in which he holds a Limca World Record. He said that because of the special technique devised by him patients who were earlier refused surgery can undergo this life saving procedure with safety.
Dr Abraham G Thomas – Director of CMC – emphasised that now complex heart surgeries are being done successfully at CMC. This is possible because of the excellent infrastructure and faculty of CMC. He said that CMC is committed to bring International level cardiac care to the doorsteps of the people of this region.

Delhi HC:
Implement Pay Commission recommendations from date of inception
The Delhi High Court today rejected the appeals filed by an unaided school, Rukmini Devi Jaipuria School, Rajpur Road while holding that the teachers of unaided private schools are entitled to parity in pay and emoluments’ with their counterparts working in government schools under Section 10 of Delhi Education Act, 1973. Accepting the contention of advocate Ashok Agarwal appearing for the teachers that it’s a travesty of justice that the teachers are denied their lawful salary without any justification, the court while directing the school to pay arrears of salary from 01.01.1996 within four weeks also imposed costs of Rs 15,000 for each appeal.
The court also held that all the employees of all unaided recognized private schools are entitled to benefits of pay and emoluments from 01.01.1996, the date the fifth pay commission recommendations have become applicable and the schools cannot deny or delay the same on the ground that it could not recover fee from the students.
Upholding the order of the single bench of Justice Kailash Gambhir, a bench comprising Acting Chief Justice A K Sikri and Justice Rajeev Sahai Endlaw directed the Rukmini Devi Jaipuria School to implement the recommendations of the Fifth Pay Commission and pay the teachers accordingly.
Justice Gambhir had earlier directed the school to pay all the arrears with effect from January 1, 1996 but the teachers claimed that they were only paid with effect from April 1997, after 15 month.
Lawyer Ashok Agarwal, appearing on behalf the four teachers, told the court that many private schools are violating the recommendations of the Pay Commissions even though they have collected surplus funds from the students.
Their audit records show that the private schools have crores of rupees lying as surplus which they collected from the students on the pretext of implementing the Fifth and Sixth Pay Commission, Mr Agarwal contended.
He told the court that Section 10 of Delhi School Education Act, 1973 mandates that the employees of all the Unaided Private Recognised Schools are entitled to benefit of pay and allowances etc as per the Government school teachers.
Senior Advocate, Sanjeev Sachdeva, appearing on behalf of the school, said the pay commission recommendations are only applicable to the government-aided schools and not to private schools.
