Amritsar, June 30. To make the holy city eco-friendly and environmentally sustainable, EcoSikh, a US-based organisation, today launched Eco-Amritsar 2017, a five-year green drive, to mark the city’s 440th anniversary.
However, the event turned out to be a low-key affair with Punjab Revenue Minister Bikram Singh Majithia, SGPC Chief Avtar Singh Makkar and Deputy Commissioner Rajat Aggarwal not turning up and instead sending their representatives. Though their names didn’t figure in the invite for the programme, the state government and the SGPC are the two major stakeholders in the campaign.
Addressing a gathering on the occasion, EcoSikh president Dr Rajwant Singh said: “EcoSikh has proposed a six-point agenda for conserving water, recycling and better waste management, alternate energy usage, introducing public transport, increasing green cover and open spaces, and also sharing information on greening strategies”.
He said the district administration had pledged to enforce rainwater harvesting in all government buildings and institutions and in establishments of 500 sq yds and above. The SGPC had decided to announce yearly celebration of the city’s foundation day which falls in June and to commit to organic farming on the land associated with the SGPC-run gurdwaras in Amritsar district, he said.
PEDA chairman Manjit Singh said they had already installed a solar power plant at the Golden Temple and would soon be putting up solar steam cooking system which would cut down LPG consumption of the shrine to half. He said they had planned to generate 10 per cent of the city’s power requirement from solar energy. Gunbir Singh of Khalsa College Governing Council said they had signed an MoU with EcoSikh for promoting organic farming, resorting to solar energy use and planting trees.

Patiala, May 8. Union Minister of State for External Affairs Preneet Kaur has requested the Planning Commission of India to clear the Jakhal-Narwana to Patiala via Samana rail line at the earliest, which was included in the 2009-10 Railway Budget.
In a communication addressed to Planning Commission Deputy Chairman Dr Montek Singh Ahluwalia last week the Minister apprised him that the railways authorities had confirmed that the project had been referred to the Planning Commission.
She said, “Samana being comparatively backward, considering its socio-economic status, this rail line is an urgent necessity to provide proper rail connectivity in this area.”
Preneet had recently reviewed with the Railway Minister and the Chairman of the Railway Board some demands pertaining to Patiala, which included new rail link, stoppage of Shatabdi Express at Rajpura and re-routing of some trains to Amritsar via Patiala.
