Punjab Traders Want Business Friendly Policies

The recent amendments in Punjab 's VAT ( Form 15 and Worksheet 7 )  are steps in the right direction but a lot needs to be done to improve business activity in Punjab. 

Inspector Raj corruption needs to brought under tolerable limits.All tax gathering systems should be made simple and transparent.

Traders should be given due respect. Traders provide all the taxes from which the Govt. is run.

Other issues of Property Tax., Overpricing of Petrol ( highest VAT in India ), Choongi ( Octroi ) on Urban Electricity Bills , making provision for Free Electricity to Physically Handicapped Punjabis , imposition of tax on Palatial Farm Houses etc etc should be taken up at the earliest.   

South Asians Should Present a United Voice Internationally

My late father , Dr. Dharam Paul Aggarwal had seen the pain of Partition ( 1947 ) in his youth.

He used to say that community wise , it turned out to be a partition mainly of Indian Muslims.

The world , especially the Anglo Saxons , would have been more sensitive had South Asia given a united front.

What is being done in Afghanistan, Iraq , Iran , Libya etc is not positive.

We , also , Pray for greater co-operation among South Asian nations of Pakistan , India and Bangla Desh , so that a more effective and powerful Muslim  perspective is offered when ever and where ever this is required internationally.

Q :Will the downing of Malaysian Airlines MH17 be the trigger for a near term downtrend in global markets?

Our Answer :

Yes ,for Airline Stocks . Like Post 9 /11 or as shown in fictional James Bond Thriller Casino Royale. Fictional terrorist financier, Le Chiffre shorts Airline Stocks of SkyFleet Company and then tries to destroy SkyFleet's only prototype

========================================================
FICTIONAL JAMES BOND THRILLER : CASINO ROYALE

Le Chiffre invests the money along with his other creditors' money in the aircraft manufacturer SkyFleet. Though SkyFleet's shares have been skyrocketing, he plans to short the company by purchasing put options, and ordering the destruction of the company's new prototype airliner, set to make its first flight out of Miami International Airport. Bond intervenes and foils the plan, costing Le Chiffre his entire investment.

AFTER a second tragedy in four months, Malaysia Airlines stock has seen a dramatic 13 per cent fall in the first few minutes of trading on the Malaysian stock market.

Fond and Nostalgic Memories of Jalandhar ( Jullundur )

It is nostalgic to see and try to recall old places of the city of my birth. The Company Bagh was where, I remember, my maternal uncle Ejaz Ahmad would sometime go to play cricket when he would come to his hometown on short visits from New Delhi. He played first class cricket for Delhi and UP-CP combined Eleven. His friends were Lala Amar Nath and his next door neighbours Wazir Ali Nazir Ali brothers.
Though I haven't been so lucky, but my elder brother, the late Hameed did visit his birth place way back in '83 and was honoured by the old headmaster-owner who, though old, was still dedicatedly running the excellent school where our education had started

NRI Properties in Jalandhar Manipulated by Political Dons

Jalandhar citizens are animatedly discussing a News Report in 17-07-2014 dated Jalandhar Kesari (  Punjab Kesari ) where it has been exposed that a group of Political Dons identify such NRI properties in Jalandhar which are owned by NRI s and whose owners rarely visit India. Many such ignored properties are under un authorized encroachments or have been let out to Govt. Departments at a very low rent.  

The Political Bosses approach such NRI owners by visiting them abroad. They buy such NRI properties by paying just 10 to 20 % of the true market value.

After that political clout is used to get the properties vacated. If these properties are under Govt. offices occupation , then these Govt. offices are made to shift else where. 

A case has been cited of a very valuable property in Adarsh Nagar Jalandhar   ( area 5 kanal +  )which was earlier office of  District Education Officer ( Primary and Secondary ).

New Passport Officer Jalandhar Announces Tough Action on Fraudulent NRI Marriage Culprits

New Passport Officer Jalandhar . Harmanbir Singh Gill has announced very strict action against the culprits of fraudulent NRI Marriages.

These measures include :-

Seeking Deportation of the Culprits
 Getting them declared as P O ( Proclaimed Offenders )
Getting their Properties Confiscated through Court Action

Now  , it will be very difficult for the Fraudulent NRI " Husbands " to escape Justice.

Many NRI s indulge in Multiple /Holiday - Pleasure Marriages on their visits to India for free Sex and Dowry. Some wish to take with them  a Free Maid Servant under the garb of a " wife ". Many NRI s simply dump their so called wives ( many with children ) and simply return back ( in many cases to their previous  wives in foreign lands )and simply forget their duties towards their Indian  " families "

This is a modern variant of human trafficking ( CNN)

Punjab Govt. to Rescue Brides Trapped in Fraudulent NRI Marriages

Lured by false promises and pressurised by prospects of easy immigration for other family members, many young girls of Punjab are suffering from fraudulent NRI ( Non Resident Indians ) marriages. It is very heartening to know that Punjab Government has taken concrete administrative steps to help the victim girls . 
The victims have been divided , broadly , under two categories :- 
1 ) Where the NRI groom has returned and disappeared in foreign land thereby deserting his wife( and children ) in India 
2) Where the bride has been taken to a foreign country but is kept there against her wishes in semi slavery like conditions. In such cases the immigration papers like Passport have been impounded by the husband . 
Punjab Government has estimated the number of such complaints to be 10000 ( But unofficial numbers are many times over ). Punjab Govt.'s Social Security & Women - Child Development Department ( Chandigarh ) and Union ( Central ) Govt.'s Ministry For NRI Affairs ( New Delhi ) have joined hands. 
Punjab Government's Social Security & Women - Child Development Department's Deputy DirectorRajnish Kumar Jasra informed that they are in the process of collecting relevant information throughCDPO s at Block levels and Programme Officers at District levels. 
Punjab Govt. would , also, seek the help of NGOsand Ministry of External Affairs. Initially conciliation would be attempted. Indian brides trapped abroad would be extended full legal and financial help. Alternate immigration -passport documents would be provided. 
These steps taken by Punjab Govt. are very timely and essential. Fraudulent NRI marriages has emerged as one of the major social crisis affecting Punjab today. Many NRIs hunt for young Punjabi girls and show their relatives, mainly brothers and uncles , prospects of immigration for them. These relatives force the unlucky girl into NRI matrimony. Some times the groom is up to thrice the girl's age ; some times the groom is already married, at times more than once etc. Some of these grooms are on the look out for cheap household maids ( unavailable abroad ) or these NRIs are , simply , going in for another " holiday marriage " during their stay in India. Apart from the girl they get the use of free "dowry " . Once , their stay In India is over,they disappear abroad after giving their India wife false promises of calling her abroad once the immigration " papers "are cleared.
