TRUCKERS THREATEN INDEFINITE STIR FROM JANUARY 15
Monday, 02 December 2013 | PNS | BALANGIR | in Bhubaneswar
The All Odisha Truck Owners’
Association on Sunday threatened to go on an indefinite strike from midnight of
January 14-15 next unless their seven-point charter of demands is fulfilled.
This was announced at a Press conference at the end of the association’s
executive body meeting here.
The demands include hike in freight charges, end of harassment of truckers at the inter-State check-posts and corruption by MVIs posted there and privatisation of the registration system.
The association leaders said the Government last fixed freight charges in 2008 when the diesel price per liter was Rs 37 as against the present price of Rs 57. The Government has set up three technical committees to look into this problem since 2008 and the committees submitted their reports which were never implemented. The association has tried to appraise the problems to Transport Minister Subrat Tarai, but he has no time for talks, said association secretary Ravi Satpathy.

Acting on a tip-off under the
direction of SP Awinash Kumar, a special squad-led by Inspector Ranjan Patnaik
on Thursday raided the godown and residential premise of a storage agent, Gopal
Agrawal in Loisingha and seized 50,000 quintals of BPL rice and 2,000 quintals
of wheat stored illegally.
Agrawal is the storage agent for 12
gram panchayats of Loisingha block.
During verification, Agrawal could
not show valid documents in support of the stored items. He was immediately
taken into custody, said Inspector Pattnaik.
Prior to this, there was widespread
allegation in the concerned panchayat areas about regular irregularity in
delivery of PDS rice and wheat to the BPL consumers and the tribal people were
the worst victims of such bungling as nobody heard their grievance.

Balangir ICTCs run short of
technicians; HIV testing hit

Even as the World AIDS Day was
observed on Thursday with much fanfare with a new theme “Zero new HIV
infections, Zero discrimination, Zero AIDS-related deaths”, the vacant posts of
laboratory technician in Integrated Counseling and Testing Centres (ICTCs)
opened in the migration-prone rural areas of the district, have hit the
detection and diagnosing of HIV/AIDS patients.
According to sources, out of the 14
blocks of the district, only in five ICTCs located at Balangir, Titilagarh,
Patnagarh, Kantabanji and Chudapali, required number of counsellors and
laboratory technicians are found. The technicians at Government PHC of
Saintala, Loisingha and Degoan have been given training on HIV/AIDS too. But in
the most migration-prone areas, where people are more vulnerable to HIV/AIDS,
such as Tureikela, Khaprakhol, Muribhal, Sindhekela, Tusura and Gudvella, there
is no laboratory technician to test the infection of the disease. In the
district headquarters hospital, there is only one lab technician who is in
charge of both the sections of the ICTC.
“Mere counselling is not enough and
it is futile to expect poor persons to go to distant places to test their
blood. If a poor person returns from an ICTC without being tested, it becomes
very difficult to bring him again to the testing centre,” pointed out an NGO
worker.
So far 492 persons have been
detected as HIV positives and 68 persons have died due to AIDS, informs CDMO Dr
Vikrant Kindo. The CD4 machine is being installed here in the district and it
would be functional after the technician joins here, Kindo informed. In the
Balangir ART Centre, a total of 220 people are on pre-ART and 80 people are
under ART treatment, he said.
Meanwhile, the Link Worker Scheme,
which was working in the rural areas in the district since 2009 for
identification of HIV/AIDS, treatment and linkages with different schemes, has
been closed in the midway leaving its workers and patients in lurch.
“HIV/AIDS remains one of the biggest
global challenges for our generation. It is essential to combat it through
effective awareness campaign and education. Odisha is considered vulnerable due
to a large number of persons resorting to distress migration. Balangir is
highly prone to HIV/AIDS. Awareness is necessary,” said MP and convener of
parliamentary committee on HIV/AIDS Kalikesh Narayan Singh Deo.
