Sh. Satya Pal Jain, Ex-Member of Parliament delivering his speech

Chandigarh Management Association (CMA) organised today a session on Vision Chandigarh at Bhartiya Vidhya Bhavan here today. Mr. Satya Pal Jain, Ex-Member of Parliament expressed his apolitical views on the development of the city to an august audience of CMA. Mr. Jain regretted that citizens of Chandigarh are not involved in the decision making process for the development of Chandigarh. He said the union territory is considered by center as a laboratory for providing training to IAS officers who are not serious in taking long standing view for the development of the city. There are many people living in the city who are retired but possess long experience in handling various aspects of development of the city. These people need to be involved in City development projects. Mr. Jain suggested that Government should constitute a joint interstate integrated council for the development of the Tricity. He said he is in favor of the concept of Chandigarh Capital Region (CCR) similar on the lines of NCR for solving the integrated problems of Power supply, Water, transportation, housing for the people coming to Chandigarh for work from the adjoining cities. While referring to the growing traffic problem of the city Mr. Jain said that no decision has been taken for implementing Metro in the city for the last 10 years, irrespective of which Government was in power in the Centre. He said that city should go for flyovers and metro on similar lines as in Delhi. Flyover from city to Railway Station and Airport is essential to solve traffic problem, he added. To solve water problem, a dam should be built at Gagger River to supply water to the Chandigarh rather than depending only on Kajoli Water supply, said Mr. jain. Mr. Jain said he is not against High Rise buildings to cope up with the increasing population of the city, while still preserving the heritage spots and the core concept of city layout and its greenery. He said that only 10 Marlas plots and lesser should be allowed for building housing in new sectors. While giving his views on the education provisions in the city, Mr. Jain said that there should not be any restrictions, based on ranking, for the students to get admission in various colleges to provide them education in their young age, when Government spends million on the Adult Education.

SEMINAR ON : 'Growing Traffic, Road Safety, emissions and climate change'

Aggressive driving wastes fuel, not to mention it increases stress and accidents

Dr. Pankaj Khullar Making his presentation on Global Warming Chandigarh Management Association organised a seminar on 'Growing Traffic; Road Safety, emissions and climate change' here today at BharatiyaVidyaBhavan. Dr. Bhushan Sood, NRI from Canada and traffic management expert and Dr.PankajKhullar, IFS, Principal Conservator of Forests, Himachal (Retd.) were the key speakers. BhushanSood while making his presentation on road safety said that it is important that city planners should formulate comprehensive policies to address the growing urban populations and demographic changes. He said that goals should be to reduce the number of killed and seriously injured on the roads. The distressing fact is that many of those killed are young people due to rash driving and their ignorance towards basic driving rules. Sood said that the schools should have compulsory week-end workshops for imparting driving skills to the youth and educating them as regards to road safety rules. He said that local administration should take appropriate measures as to engineering the slip roads, by lanes, and signage, zebra crossings and road markings. Enforcement of driving rules needs to be strictly enforced, he added. Dr PankajKhullarwhile making his presentation said that by following the speed limit rules; not only one can have stress free and safe journey but also reduce journey time, lower fuel consumption and emissions. Aggressive driving wastes fuel, not to mention it increases stress and accidents. He said study shows that by following road rules fuel consumption get reduced by 4% and vehicle emissions fell by up to 10%. Associations and society should inculcate a sense of pride amongst youth using cycles, especially for going to schools and colleges and to near shopping centres. Khullar said that carbon emissions from the vehicular fuels contribute substantially towards greenhouse gases and in coming years it will add further. The resultant climate change will have adverse implications for living safe and comfortable lives in his planet. Our youth need to be educated in this regard. EarlierDr.Gulshan Sharma, president CMA introduced the topic of the seminar. Present on the occasion were CMA members and students from various B-Schools.

CMA Should undertake Management Workshops and EDPs in association with Professional institutions where experts from CMA can be drawn for conducting the programmes. 3.
