Sit-ins new fad on PU campus
After the recent incidents at Panjab University (PU),where two faculty members had to face the music due to internal politics under the garb of complaints and agitations by students,not only the teachers are living in fear as to who will be the next target,but jokes are also being cracked and shared on the deteriorating condition of PU. Blaming it on weak administration,the faculty members have started calling the vice-chancellors office the doorsteps to a temple,where every wish of the students get fulfilled once they sit on a dharna.
Neglected councillors
The Municipal Corporation councillors often find themselves neglected. The latest controversy over not receiving invites to the Rose Festival on time has the councillors fuming. What has added to their woes is that the Mayor was present not only at the inaugural function in the morning but also at the cultural evening. While a proposal to give additional invitation cards to the councillors had earlier been turned down,they even failed to receive their own cards on time.
Jaagte raho
The frequent surprise visits by the new Chief Justice,Ranjan Gogoi,has every court employee on his toes. His recent surprise visits to three district courts Ropar,Kharar and Mohali in a single day had caught court employees by surprise. Known for his promptness and decisiveness,the new chief justice has already conducted surprise checks/raids in various offices. Jaagte raho is what all court officials,especially employees of the Chief Justices Court,tell each other everyday.
Cop frightens child actor
After succeeding in fooling his parents as well as the police with his concocted abduction story,a child actor got frightened when a senior police officer told him that she would visit his school the next day to investigate the matter. Will you talk to my teacher was the instant query of the 10-year-old Class V student,who had acted in the recent Hindi flick Yamla Pagla Deewana. Yes,I will speak not only to the teacher but also your principal, the DSP-rank officer had told the child. Immediately realising his sin,he confessed before his class teacher even before the police managed to reach his school the next day.
No comments
Peeved over being misquoted in a section of the media,a senior police officer now desists speaking to journalists. No comments,please,is what he usually says while maintaining that the wrong statement reported in the media had made his position awkward.
