Bathinda, July 18
 The surprise visit made last night by Punjab Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal and Member of Parliament from Bathinda Harsimrat Kaur Badal to a police station, hospital and power substation here.
had caught the district administration by surprise and for the whole day today, all departments concerned were busy streamlining the public grievances redressal system.
The visit of Sukhbir and Harsimrat was aimed at assessing problems being faced by the public so that administrative reforms could be moulded keeping in view
the requirement and aspirations of the
public.
The Deputy CM’s visit led to the SSP issuing instructions for expeditious redressal of complaints, and the Chief Medical Officer, Bathinda, directing the SMO to ensure that each indoor patient in the hospital was examined by senior doctors at least thrice in a day besides streamlining the emergency working.
The Punjab Power Corporation, through a separate order, made every SDO accountable for ensuring that power failure complaints were addressed promptly.
The SSP, Bathinda, issued orders to all police stations in the district to ensure the expeditious disposal of cases. He said that as desired by the Deputy CM, the stolen property recovered should be handed over to the owners within two weeks of the completion of the court procedure.
He said to check crime, police controlling vehicles fitted with GPS were being introduced in the city to ensure quick redressal of public grievances. The SHOs have been directed to keep each complainant's mobile number, and senior officials have been told to randomly call the complainant to check whether their complaints have been redressed timely and effectively. A complaint box will also be kept outside each police station for the public.
The Chief Medical Officer, in a separate order to the SMO, made him accountable for seeing to it that every indoor emergency patient was checked by the doctors at least
thrice a day. The SMO will ensure that doctors’ movement register was maintained properly.
To check the fleecing of patients by chemists, orders were issued that while prescribing medicine besides the trade name, the generic name should also be mentioned and it should be ensured that costly medicines were not prescribed to patients. The SMO will also look into the hygiene and
cleanliness of toilets in the hospitals.
The Punjab Power Corporation has also asked SDOs to keep open the complaint office from 7 am to 7 pm and keep one vehicle available to attend to complaints. A junior engineer would sit in the office from 8 am to 4 pm daily.
Immediate impact
- SSP orders speedy redressal of complaints in all police stations of Bathinda
- SDO made accountable for addressing power complaints promptly
- SMO to ensure indoor emergency patients are checked thrice a day

While Hollywood thrives in using black as the choice colour whenever it wishes to make a gangster film, never choosing white as the choice of colour to express a class, Hindi film industry is particularly enamored of White color whenever it wishes to make a gangster film. The trend has been manifest for quite a long time, and ONCE UPON A TIME IN MUMBAAI also follows in the same pattern, so we have an Ajay Devgn, possibly portraying the character of Haji Mastan on the silver screen in all whites.... |

Working in LAMHAA has proven to be an enlightening and educative experience for Bipasha Basu.

So much so that she believes that the situation shouldn't be looked at in isolation because it could hold true even for states like Maharashtra or We... |

Sikh U.S. Army Officer Successfully Completes Basic Training
First Sikh U.S. Army Officer in Two Decades to Successfully Complete Basic Training
First Practicing Sikh in 23 Years,
Accepted by Fellow Soldiers and
Exceled During Training
(San Antonio, TX) March 23, 2010 - Captain Tejdeep Singh Rattan graduated from basic training yesterday at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio to great fanfare from the Sikh community. Through the campaign that began last April, the Sikh-American community reached a major milestone with the first turbaned Sikh officer to complete basic training in over two decades.
| |
|
Standing side by side with his fellow soldiers, Captain Tejdeep Singh Rattan chants the U.S. Army's creed, with his articles of faith intact, during graduation ceremonies for his Officer’s Basic Training.
|
| A Proud Soldier |
|
 “I am overjoyed to serve my country, work with my fellow soldiers, and to have completed basic training,” said Captain Tejdeep Singh Rattan after the ceremony.
|
Though the Army's policy of not allowing Sikhs to serve with their articles of faith intact remains in place, Sikhs can celebrate that Captain Rattan's accommodation and successful completion of basic training proves Sikhs do not have to sacrifice their religion to serve effectively in the U.S. Army.
"I am overjoyed to have completed basic training and now able to serve my country," said Captain Rattan. "Most importantly, I was able to successfully complete all aspects of my initial training and had an overwhelmingly positive experience with the base command, Army leadership, and my fellow soldiers. I look forward to continuing to serve my country."
| Graduation Draws Attention of National Media |
|
 Media outlets across the United States attended the historic graduation. The day after the event, more than 350 news articles were published about the story.
|
Contrary to the concerns of some, Captain Rattan met all the requirements of a solider during basic training. He wore a helmet over a small turban during field exercises. During gas mask exercises, he successfully create a seal. He also built strong bonds with the soldiers in his platoon.
Yesterday's graduation marks a significant milestone in the campaign to ensure Sikhs may serve in the Army. The Coalition looks forward to the day when military policy allows any Sikh to serve without having to make a request for accommodation. It is the Sikh Coalition's intention to continue fighting until every Sikh can freely assume the profession of their choice.
