| Punjab Deputy CM Sukhbir Singh Badal at the CII gathering at New Chandigarh |
Chandigarh, November 14, 2013 (PNW) Punjab Government would promote medical tourism in the state as this sector had a great potential to boost the state's economy, Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal said on Thursday.
Mr. Badal said the planned Medicity would be developed on 300 acres of land at New Chandigarh, with top-notch hospitals being established. He was speaking at an event organized by CII to present the Human Achievers Awards.
He said that New Chandigarh has the potential to emerge as the Medical Hub of North India as the state has already equipped with first-class infrastructure in the health sector comparing to the other states.
Mr. Badal also boasted that Punjab was already equipped with superlative health sector infrastructure as compared with other states of India. He added that previous governments had not paid attention to create medical facilities for the needy in the state. He also called on NGOs to come forward and save the girl child.
The deputy CM also used the occasion to honour 198 highest taxpayers as well as warn tax evaders, saying that the government would not only recover taxes but also register cases against tax evaders.
Speaking on the topic, he said, "We will not only recover the tax but also register cases against those evading tax."
During the past financial year of 2012-13, the state government collected Rs 14,544 crore tax revenue from nearly 2.35 lakh registered traders and manufacturers.

Nepal allows Gurpurb in Kathmandu gurdwara
Chandigarh, November 6
The Nepalese Government has agreed to celebrate the birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev at Guru Nanak Math, a 400-year-old gurdwara in Kathmandu, on November 17. Pilgrims from all over the world will be allowed to take part in the event.
The government has also accepted the demand of the Sarbat Da Bhala Charitable Trust -- headed by SPS Oberoi -- about the installation of Guru Granth Sahib and implementation of the Sikh code of religious conduct at the gurdwara in the presence of Akal Takht chief Gyani Gurbachan Singh on November 15.
Interestingly, the land of the 'math' still stands in the name of Guru Nanak Dev. Oberoi said that in 1516, the then Nepal King Raja Jai Jagat Malla of the Malla dynasty had donated 1,600 acres for religious service to the first Sikh Guru.
“As there was no one to take care of the 'math', various encroachments have taken place. Presently, only 34 acres are in the possession of the shrine. However, with the help of the local population and officials, we managed to get access to the original papers signed by the then ruler under the official seal. To ensure no dispute arises about the donation, the king had made his son the witness,” he added.
A delegation of Indians headed by Oberoi had been in touch with Nepal’s Prime Minister Dr Baburam Bhattarai for past few months to restore the 'maryada' of the gurdwara.
Oberoi said that after a Nepalese court accepted the land donation, the government has, in principle, agreed to allow restoration work at the gurdwara. It has been entrusted to the Sarbat Da Bhala Charitable Trust, which has a registered branch in Kathmandu, and to the local people.
Oberoi said that the Trust had signed an MoU with the Guthi Sansthan of the Nepal Government for the celebrations and the Akal Takht chief would personally monitor those.
A 300-year-old handwritten bir of Guru Granth Sahib (about 1,554 pages) is lying in a cupboard of the gurdwara just like any other book. “We will also try to install Guru Granth Sahib there,” he added.
ROYAL GESTURE
Trainee IAS officer killed, 4 hurt in road ccident
Chandigarh/Moga (PNW) - A trainee IAS officer from Bihar, Nishant Kumar (26), died and four others were injured when the vehicle in which they were travelling met with an accident on Moga-Barnala road, around 15 km from here, near Daala village, early on Wednesday.
The accident took place when driver Raj Kumar, who was among the injured, lost control of the car. The vehicle first hit a railing, then a tree and overturned.
Moga Senior Superintendent of Police Kanwaljit Singh Dhillon said: "The speedometer recovered from the spot showed the vehicle was being driven at 110 km. Also, it was a bit foggy at that time. We regard overspeeding as the cause of the mishap."
Others injured are Shashi Ranjan, Harsh and Ajit, all IAS trainees. While Harsh is from Kanpur, Ajit and Shashi Ranjan are from Bihar. "They were returning from a party thrown by an officer in Jalandhar," said a source.
The impact of the crash was such that the engine of the Innova car, which carried a red beacon, flung out and landed in nearby fields. Nishant died on the spot.
"The four were going to Takhtupura village. They had come to Moga for training," said Amit Kumar, Additional Deputy Commissioner.
There were different stories over who was driving the vehicle. While Dhillon hesitated and said: "I am not aware of it," Singh said "the driver was driving it".
Sources, however, said: "The driver has denied that he was driving. On the other hand, the injured officers are claiming that the driver was driving. But the driver has not got any injuries despite the fact that the front of the car got badly damaged."
