Of Rains and Floods

  • In India the Monsoon has become quite unpredicted. The month of Sawan or July/August is usualy rainy season in Punjab and other neighbouring states, but this time the story is different. We have mearge rainfalls and on the other hand, there are floods in Bihar state. It seems the monsoons are emptying rainy clauds en-route and it is causing prolonged summer season here.
  • Badals (literal meaning 'clouds') come and go, we have little showers in the name of rains. Sweating, viral fever and suffocating climate is prevailing here.
  • And news are also violent and bloody.... a youth in Hoshiarpur Govt. College stabbed a girl whom he wanted to be his beloved. This one sided 'love' appeared naked hullingaism in the city. The eve-teasers are becoming more and more violent. The ill-fated girl was a promising student of B. A. Final year.
  • In GTU (Govt. Teacher Union Punjab) is going to held demonstration in the hometown of the Education Minister Punjab Mrs. Upinderjit Kaur on 11 August 2007. They have a 3-point demands ie 1. to stop engaging govt. teachers for non-teaching tasks, 2. to stop political interferance in teachers' transfers, 3. to ensure regular monthy salaries of teachers etc. There are other demands also. The Union's Gen. Scy state Mr. Shiv Kumar told mediapersons that all negotiations with govt. officials failed and they are left with no other option than to stage demonstration in from the residence of the EM.
  • People are worried for the deteriorating condition of almost 700 residencial quarters of BBMB colony in Sector 3 and Sector 2. It's been more than a year passed after the deptt had abandoned there well built quarters. Still there is no visible policy for the welfare of BBMB colony. Would that the Energy Minister India and the Chairman of BBMB turn up and heal the township!
