4 Page 4 MAMBALAM TIMES: Ashok Nagar - K.K.Nagar Edition May 19-25, 2012 NO HOLDS BARRED By M.A. SADANAND Bhagat Singh, our historic hero, had to show the entry pass at the pearly gates manned by the white men of British origin when he swung out of slave India on the hangman s rope. Our good neighbour Pakistan did not allow such an odium to besmirch Sarabjit Singhs character, since its jail housed not only prisoners but fiends who could not tolerate a foreign prisoner to be with them beyond 23 years for the super crime of straying into the holy soil of Pakistan by an inch or two across the border when he had an ounce or two too many of arrack in his blood system. So the puritans, like our own executioners in our jails, devised their own modus operandi and ended the incarceration of friend Sarbajit by a thorough job of skull-break that ended Singhs illegal entry into Pak territory. What is skullduggery in ordinary parlance, is protected in Pakduggery. Well, all things good or evil have to come to an end. To the unknown and poor family of the murdered Singh more than 400 million Indians have sent their sighs and the government has been munificent with various funds. Sarabjit did not die in vain. I believe, he would have, if he was able to talk, left the message, Don t cross the border of sanity if you are drunk. Health Association urges government to impose tax on cigarettes Welcoming the state government move to ban pan masala and gutka, Indian Public Health Association (IPHA) has now urged the government to impose taxation for cigarettes and other tobacco products as a measure to discourage users from buying the products. Talking to reporters, S. Elango (President of IPHA) said that taxation to the extent of 7-day discourse on Chaitanya Charitram Under the auspices of Janabai Trust (10, Murthy Street, West Mambalam; Ph: ), Erode Balaji Bhagavathar will give a daily discourse on Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Charitram from May 25 to 31 from 6 p.m to 8 p.m in Madras Kali Bari Temple (Umapathy Street Extension, West Mambalam). 5% will reduce the consumption of tobacco. Nobody bothers about the pictorial warnings that are currently displayed on the products. But if the products are more expensive, people may think twice before buying them, according to him. The money from the tax could be used to establish hospitals and radiotherapy units and for cancer treatment. The Global Adult Tobacco Survey for estimated that 170 million people used chewable tobacco, while another 120 million smoked tobacco. A study also conducted by IPHA in 2011 found that a majority of women in city outskirts use different forms of chewable tobacco. Chewable tobacco causes oral cancer which affects the cheeks, tongue, gums, lips and palate, he said. Drain covers damaged within a week of installation Following reports in Mambalam Times and appeals from the Residents Association to Chennai Corporation, metal gratings were used to cover the nine 4-inch-wide openings in the stormwater drains constructed on Motilal Street, T. Nagar, on May 4. Three of the nine gratings are already damaged and one of them is missing. The drains were constructed a couple of months ago by Chennai Corporation but the drain openings were left open. Last month an elderly woman resident of Motilal Street fractured her leg when it got caught in one of the openings. Open manhole closed after report in Mambalam Times Following a report published in Mambalam Times last week about an open manhole in the middle of Kavarai Street (West Mambalam) posing a danger to motorists, the same was closed by Metrowater workers a couple of days ago. The opening was closed with a metal cover. Scorching summer, blooming trees Gulmohar trees lining Thirumoorthy Street (T. Nagar) in full bloom. This photo was taken at around 2 p.m on May 15. Wind energy offers respite from load shedding City residents who do not have inverter/generator facility heaved a sigh of relief as there were no power cuts in the past few days. This has been thanks to power generated by wind energy farms as the average yield of wind power was on the rise. According to Y.E.A. Raj, Deputy Director General of Meteorology, wind energy intensifies normally by the third week of May. This year though, the season appears to have begun a week earlier due to the presence of a cyclonic conditions. However, it is common knowledge that any decision regarding revoking or reducing the duration of the twohour load shedding in Chennai will be done only after studying the pattern of wind power production. Speeding vehicle damages compound all of an apartment building Part of the compound wall of Bharani Apartments (No. 4, Thirumoorthy Street, T.

It is a narrow 30-foot-wide road. A mini bus owned by a private operator bea-ring registration num-ber TN20-AL9056 is frequently parked on this road thereby blocking off 50% of the carriageway causing hindrance to road users.
