Labour Crisis & Punjab Industries

Industrial developments basic pillars are –

·        Labour

·        Electricity and Water (Utility)

·        Uninterrupted availability of Raw Material

·        Competitive price of products

·        Sales strategy

·        Economical and durability of products

·        Brands grip on the mindset of masses

Other then labour all others are secondary issues’ or have less importance. In the past Punjab State Industries were getting free flow of migrant labour from the poor states of the country like Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, where chances of getting good monthly packages’ were very limited, thus residents of these states look towards prosperous state and Punjab State was top in their list, but it is the story of past and before the tenure of Nitish Kumar in Bihar as Chief Minister. As with every passing month and year Bihar state started marching ahead on the path of prosperity, simply due to Nitish Kumar’s efficient and honest governance. He strongly blocks holes for corruption from the government schemes and government departments of the state which have direct link with public and prosperity of state, result of it after state enters seventh year of his rule, now state is much improved on score of issues’ like –

·        Corruption

·        Misuse of government funds

·        Time bound services to the public

·        Seizure of corrupt officers property

·        Distribute cycles to the girl students

reason of it residents of the state which prefer to work in other parts of the country started getting good opportunities in their home town itself, hence now scenario has change and now they prefer to stay in their home town with good opportunities, but it is the hard fact that it effects Punjab state Industries directly and very badly as now industrialists are facing heat of it in the shape of shortage of labour which is resulting in downfall of their productions. 

Recently as per news Manchester of Punjab that is ludhiana complaining of shortage of migrant labour as now in their hometown with their families score of doors are open with good opportunities which increases attractive monthly packages comparatively they were getting in other states under exploitation. Considering shortage of migrant labour which has no alternative industrial houses have thrown lucrative offers to migrant labour by not only increasing salaries packages’ but also adds other benefits along with shrinking the working hours -

·        Working hours shrinks from eight hours to seven hours

·        Cell phone benefits

·        Will get cycle which will help them to travel from their living place to working areas without spending extra money

·        Add house rent from five hundred rupees to one thousand rupees in their salaries 

As per information which is pouring from different sources migrant labour which are working in the plants of Punjab now started putting pressure on the unit owners and threat to leave the work, like-

·        Now labour don’t listen factory owners advise nicely and positively and threat to leave if they will get any words from them.

·        Now labour which has to recruit at the knitwear plants demanding bonus on to per piece.

·        To lure migrant labour they seek that Punjab government should issue ration cards and provide them eatable stuff at subsidize rates.

Impact of shortage of labour is seen on every sector whether it is knitwear, cycle or any other unit of ludhiana, owners are unable to get required labour, thus their output has fallen drastically from fifteen to twenty percent only because of labour shortage, now as they have thrown their cards in the shape of benefits to the migrant labour it has yet to seen how much it will give them yield of labour, other wise industrial house will left with no other option but to give labour much more handsome packages’ they are getting in their hometown, so that they can continue running their units.

Shoes to Slap

   From past few years anger among peoples towards politicians become physical and they try to express it in the presence of security personnel’s and media, not scared about their daring actions results. It has seen that on score of occasion it is said that mental condition of the concern is not sound, but at the same time it is the matter of thorough study why peoples are so much furious against the politicians and they are ready to express their anger in violent manner? Now it has advance from material throwing to physical involvement.

    First time in the history of aggressiveness and anger incident happened when former President of USA George Bush was in Iraq in the month of December 2008 and talking to media persons in a press conference, then during press conference Iraqi television journalist Muntadar al –Zaidi throw his shoes two times but George Bush bend and escape to get hurt himself from sudden development, then security personnel’s arrested him and later on Muntadar al-Zaidi face the trail, but incident motivate score of persons across the globe to express their anger towards politicians, hence later on phase started of throwing shoes or chappals at politicians, and India is not exception in this case.

Politicians were targeted by Indians with shoes or chappals on different occasion. List of such politicians are as below –

• P Chidambaram – On 7^th April, 2009 journalist of dainik Jagran Jarnail Singh, throw the shoe at P Chidambaram when minister refuse to discuss involvement of Jagdish Tytler in 1984 anti Sikh riot cases.
• LK Advani – On 17^th April, 2009 BJP worker throw his slipper at senior party leader LK Advani in Madhya Pardesh but missed the target.
• Manmohan Singh – 26^th April,2009 was day when Prime Minister Manmohan Singh was targeted with shoe during election campaign at Ahmedabad by 21 year old computer engineer student Hitesh Chauhan, but it was not reached near to Manmohan Singh.
• BS Yeddyurappa – On 28^th April, 2009 then CM of Karnataka BS Yeddyurappa was targeted with slipper at a BJP rally but slipper fell far short of dais.
• Omar Abdullah – On 15^th August,2010 was targated with shoe by suspended police constable, during independence celebrations in Srinagar.
• Baba Ramdev –  On 24^th March, 2011, Mitu Singh Rathod throw boot at Baba Ramdev who was CRPF troop and was angry because of corruption speech instead of yoga demonstration.
• Suresh Kalmadi – On 26^th April,2011 Manoj Sharma,former lawyer from Madhya Pardesh throw slipper at Suresh Kalmadi inside Patiala house court.
• Janardan Dwidedi- On 6^th June,2011 disguise himself as a journalist throw shoe at Janardan Dwidedi during press conference at the party head quarters.

but recently it has seen that in India anger of public has risen to new label towards politicians as from throwing shoe or chappal they are now using themselves to attack on politicians. By name Harvinder Singh of thirties from Rohini area of New Delhi assault on former Telecom Minister Sukhram, now day before yesterday he slap Union Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar and after slapping he was shouting,“ I will kill you, every where there is corruption in India, scams,”. After incident Pawar left the place in his car, but security personnel’s arrested Harvinder Singh. Leader of all the parties condemn the attack and declare if anybody in the country is not happy with the way of government policies then there is certain ways to object but physical attack is not acceptable on politicians, and public has power of vote to defeat the leader whom they don’t like in the elections. No doubt every political party of the country has crirticise action of Harvinder Singh, but if we pick the words of Harvinder Singh then he was shouting after slapping that every where there is scams, you are corrupted, so his action is against corruption and scams not against any party or leader but in recent times as score of leaders are trapped in the cases of corruption, so it should we consider as his anger against government’s failure to tackle both the issues’ of corruption and scams, moreover it can also be added with statement of opposition party’s leader Yashwant Sinha who said that peoples are furious against failure of government on price rise and it wont be surprise if it burst or become violent, plus from last three days parliament session is on but shockingly single minute of work was not happened due to adjournment of parliament, so peoples are seeing all this, thus it can be one of the reason of provocation.

     It is the responsibility of the politicians and political parties to serve the country and public honestly and simply blaming others is just running from their liabilities as every profession seeks justification towards their profession, other wise as now peoples anger enters into new label which is certainly cannot good for country and can take ugly shape in future if our rules keep on ignoring the problems face by common people of the country.   

Corruption Grinding Common People

    Recent time in the country issue raised by Anna Hazare(social activists) of corruption become magnet as it pull every section of society whether its political parties(ruling or opposition), common people, celebrities, media or industrialists and everybody has their opinion towards corruption, but it is the hard fact that only average common people of the country feel heat of corruption as he/she has to face on an average daily basis government officials to get their work done which is not an easy task, thus directly effective and grinding in corruption, rest are only playing with the word of corruption to fulfill their motives.

   First time in the month of April this year Anna Hazare started his fast unto death agitation against corruption , to take strict action against government servants he and his team able to bend government to constitute committee which had same number of representation by civil society and government, then dilly dally policy of government towards lokpal bill made team Anna to do hunger strike for second time on same issue of corruption in the month of August, and that time Anna Hazare’s hunger strike spread over the period of two weeks, and after getting assurance from government on lokpal that it will come up with strong lokpal bill after getting recommendations from standing committee, but as it need some time so it is not possible for government to get pass it in the monsoon session but certainly in the next parliament session that is of winter session bill will be pass, but after getting wrong signals from government again team Anna seeks from government in writing that it will pass lokpal bill in the winter session as it get written assurance from NDA other wise in the coming by election team Anna will oppose UPA candidate.  Warning from Team Anna was listen by deaf ears by UPA, following it team Anna oppose Indian National Congress and appeal public not to vote its candidate, result of it candidate of Indian National Congress lost its deposit also and four other constituencies where elections were held simultaneously all the seats won by other then congress party. Perhaps Indian National Congress is not aware about the fact that how much common peoples of the country are grinding in the wheel of corruption and to open the eyes of anybody below coded story is enough about harassment of public in the government department-

·        In Hoshiarpur district of Punjab, Government of Punjab acquire land to build canal in the month of August this year through notifications, to compensate land owners Government of Punjab follow the set standards by Government of India, half the owners collected the payment from Canal Office, Hoshiarpur, but left land owners whose land was acquired by government now find it really very hard task to get compensation, due to one reason or another. First it was mentioned by the concerned office clerk that authorised signatory is transfer and newly appointed officer yet to take LA power and if al of you can make contact and request him to take LA power then he can issue their cheques, land owners then make at least contact with concerned office at least fifty times and also through same number of calls but till date Government officer has not taken LA powers but passing on new excuse every time they make contact, not only they lost land but also making contact with office as if concern office has to oblige them, nobody sure how and when they will get money or simply they need to pass on money to get the compensation?

It is responsibility of the Government to distribute cheques as and when they acquire land of common people of the country for any project but contrary to this common people harass by concerned officer as if he is obliging them, and he has not fear of acts like Right to Information or Right to Service Acts, so one can understand how much is need of the hour for strong lokpal bill which will help common people to get some relief from government corrupt officers.

Vinod Kambli: Explosion or Reality ?

Of late World of Cricket is under the grip of stories of fixing which are highlighted by different sources’, these stories gets wind after court in London gave its verdict on the issue of spot fixing which includes three Pakistani players, during fourth test at lord of Pakistan tour to England in the year 2010 –

·        Salman Bhatt -  Jail terms of thirty months

·        Mohammad Asif - Jail terms of twelve months

·        Mohammad Amir – Jail terms of six months

First time whistle blower of match fixing in India was Manoj Prabhakar, who spoke to media about match fixing in India during late nineties, committee was constituted for probe and Mohammad Azharuddin was banned from his any association with cricket, although just recently it is lifted. First time in the history of cricket match fixing allegation was proved with evidence when South African cricket team was India under the captaincy of Hansie Cronje , then Delhi Police recorded conversation between Hansie and bookie and it was reveal that two other players of South Africa were also involved with Hansie in this fixing and they were Herschelle Gibbs and Nicky Boje. When news break it was hard to deny by Hansie Cronje. Later on ICC erect anti corruption unit to keep away fixing from cricket.

In the year 2010, when Pakistan cricket team was in England and during fourth test at lord string operation was conducted by media and in it bookie Mazhar Majeed and three players Salman Bhatt, Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir were caught red handed to play the match as per his direction. When it was telecast by electronics media then it was deny by three players but this story gets last chapter written by court when it gave verdict of punishment and monetary fine to accused three players.

   Ink of spot fixing news was yet to dry when former head of ICC’s Anti Corruption unit Lord Condon announced that match fixing is happening in every country from quit long, in response to it few cricket associations deny Condon acquisition. 

Now just few days back statement came from former Indian cricket player Vinod Kambli that he has suspicion that semi final of 1996 world cup of India against Sri Lanka was fixed, to strengthen his words he said that pitch was good for batting and if India won the toss it was decided that India will bat first but when India won the toss and opted to bowl first it was surprising move that captain opted to field first, but in respond to kambli’s acquisition then captain Mohammad Azharuddin respond that it was collective decision to bat first as Sri Lanka chased score very well in the world cup in the league match at Delhi, if Kambli has not information of meeting before the match, then perhaps he was sleeping, even coach Ajit Wadekar also stand behind the words of Mohammad Azharuddin, but till date no other single player of sixteen members team (including five reserve) back kambli’s words. Score card of first semifinal of 1996 game of Wills world cup, about whom Kambli has suspicion India against Sri Lanka is as follow –

• One Day International No. 1081
• Played at Eden Gardens, Calcutta
• India won the toss and opted to bowl first , 13 March 1996 - day/night (50-over match)

It is really surprising that it took period of sixteen long years for Vinod Kambli to speak about his inner conscious that particular game was fix, till date neither he has support of any player of that game nor he has present any proof which endorse his words that he is correct. It appears that just to remain in the news he made issue of nothing and if he has any suspicion then he should come up with his words, other wise it will leave him lonely stranded one side and all his team mates on other side along with cricket fraternity of India.
