The Commissionerate Police today raided six student immigration centres and arrested seven travel agents for allegedly forging bank documents and student certificates for sending them to the UK, Australia Canada and other foreign destinations for making a quick buck.

Raids were conducted around noon today with the police registering six FIRs at the police stations concerned while making a recovery of Rs 20 lakh unaccounted cash, 42 copies of passports, laptops, computer sets and various documents.

The police conducted a raid at Express Student Education Services, situated in the City Square shopping complex on the old GT Road. The police arrested Gurinder Bhatti, who is a partner and a sub-agent for Mohali-based Seabird Immigration Consultancy. The police also recovered Rs 12 lakh, six passports, 10 computers, 13 files, including cases pertaining to eight rejected cases and documents showing excess FDR statements and bank balance on forged documents from the premises. An FIR has been registered at the New Baradari police station.

The police also arrested Bhavnoor Singh Bedi of Pyramid e Services, Mall Road. A recovery of Rs 7.29 lakh, three computers, 40 files, passports and two cases of rejected files has been made from his premises. A case was registered at the Division Number 2 police station.

OFFICIALSPEAK

The owners were taking Rs 6 lakh to Rs 7 lakh advance for getting the visa files cleared. Even the students whose cases had been rejected were being asked to make payment. So far, no involvement of bank officials has been found in getting forged loan letters, fake bank statements and fake FDR statements. The accused had even tied up with courier companies so that they had all information in hand regarding the delivery of visa documents so that they could extract more money. We are on the lookout for them also. Since the raids were conducted at noon, several more complaints have started pouring in at different police stations. — Jaspreet Singh Sidhu, DCP

Jalandhar, May 6
Taking cognisance of a recent Tribune report highlighting the violation of the pollution norms by some of the tanneries operational from the Leather Complex here, the Punjab Pollution Control Board (PPCB) chairman Ravinder Singh has issued strict instructions against the erring tanneries.

The PPCB has ordered to seal the drums of the five “wet tanneries”, which were operating from the Dry Leather Complex area. The Board has also issued instructions to the Punjab Effluent Treatment Society (PETS) that runs the treatment plant to make sure that not even a single drop of untreated waste is discharged in the Kala Sanghian drain. The instructions in this regard were issued by Ravinder Singh during the hearing given to the PETS at the PPCB Patiala headquarters.

From the PPCB, besides senior authorities from the head office, Superintending Engineer SP Garg and PETS CEO Steven Kler and PETS director-cum-secretary Ajay Sharma were present at the hearing.

Giving details, Board chairman Ravinder Singh said, “Prime Leathers, Fibertech Leathers, V.S. Fibre, Deepak Leather and Indo Globe tannery units, operating from Dry Leather Complex, were into the wet tanning process due to which the untreated waste was being discharged into the sewerage. Hence, instructions had been issued to the Board authorities in Jalandhar to ensure that drum of all these tanneries were sealed at the earliest. These tanneries may continue their dry tanning works, but certainly the wet tanning won’t be allowed.”

He further said that work was on to make some improvements in the treatment plant at the Leather Complex due to which presently, the plant, which has a capacity of a million litres of discharge per day (MLD), was treating a maximum of 4-MLD waste. Directions have been issued to PETS to make sure that the treatment plant operates to its maximum capacity of 5-MLD within 15 days’ time, added Ravinder Singh.

He said that the pre-treatment plants of many tanneries were not operational. “For the removal of the suspended solid particles from the waste of tanneries, the pre-treatment plant are used. Because of the non-functional pre-treatment plants, the common outlet overflows with discharge of the untreated waste. Surprise inspection drive would be initiated and in case the pre-treatment plant of any tannery was found non-operational, the drum of the erring tannery would be sealed”, said PPCB Superintending Engineer S.P. Garg, while speaking to TNS. It is also learnt that the Board has directed to review the discharge limit of the tanneries. Elaborating the matter, the Board officials said, “Earlier, when the 1.5-MLD treatment plant was working, the discharge limit was fixed, which was increased after the new 5-MLD plant got operational. The new discharge limit of all the tannery would be fixed in such a manner that there is no disparity.”

‘Seal the drums’

The PPCB has ordered to seal the drums of the five “wet tanneries”, which were operating from the Dry Leather Complex area. The Board has also issued instructions to the Punjab Effluent Treatment Society (PETS) that runs the treatment plant to make sure that not even a single drop of untreated waste is discharged in the Kala Sanghian drain. Also action is to be taken against the units not using pre-treatment plant

RTE Act deadline over, Education Department mum on schools not falling in lineAparna Banerji
Tribune News Service

Jalandhar, May 6
While the district education department had issued closure notices to as many as 41 schools in the district for failing to file the self-declaration forms within the Right to Education (RTE) Act deadline, which was on March 31, 2013, the state of the rest of the private schools in the district remains steeped in ambiguity.

While there are about 833 private schools in the district, 600 out of them, sent self-declarations to the department before the RTE Act deadline.

While sources in the education department themselves confirmed that among these, about 41 were issued closure notices, no notice has been issued to the remaining 100 to 150 schools, despite the fact that they, too, had not yet issued declaration forms.

While the education department teams had checked all the remaining schools and issued objections to them based on the discrepancies which were prevalent in them, no action has yet been initiated and no deadline provided to any of the schools against which objections had been raised, despite the fact that they continue to run from buildings with inadequate infrastructure and/or staff.

So far the only aspect in which a deadline has been issued is the matter of the TET teachers. While a majority of the schools don’t have one, they have been issued a 2015 deadline to hire TET teachers.

As per sources, about 200 to 300 schools in the district have been made in lands which are less than 1 kanal area despite that fact that RTE guidelines state private schools seeking affiliations should be at least in an area of 2 kanals.

A majority of these schools also disregard the RTE guidelines regarding the requisite area of rooms, lab and library infrastructure, presence of playgrounds, proper toilets, fire-fighting equipment among other discrepancies.

So far, no checks have been initiated to check which schools are working to fix these discrepancies.

While the biggest problems remain to be the very little areas in which schools are situated in, sources say there are a large number of schools which will never be able to make up for the discrepancies, as many of them are situated in dingy small buildings or located in narrow inaccessible streets.

Even as the education department observes a studied silence on these schools, gross violations existing in various private schools hint at the education department’s unwillingness to act against them.

The District Education Officer (Primary) said, “The work is on to check which of these schools has managed to fix the discrepancies. A list of violators had been sought from us, but so far the lists haven’t reached me. The official responsible for doing that is presently on leave.”

Speaking on whether a deadline had been issued to these violating schools, after which they might be closed down, the DEO (Primary) said, “So far no such deadline has been issued. That can be done only after instructions from the higher-ups.”

Only 41 closure notices

While hundreds of schools are blatantly violating the Right to Education guidelines, only 41 have got the closure notices. The Eduation Department is sitting on information regarding discrepancies among the rest. Less space, poor infrastructure, lack of laboratories and libraries are the common violations, but the department says that it will act only after instructions from the higher-ups.

Jalandhar, May 6
Even as the sealing of 61 marriage palaces, which have not applied for regularisation under the new policy, was scheduled to begin today by the Jalandhar Development Authority (JDA), a new order of by the Secretary, Housing and Development has put the action on hold.

The orders have allowed the palace owners, who have not yet applied for regularisation, to submit their files latest by May 15, restraining the staff from acting against them. The JDA had mulled action against 14 palaces of Jalandhar, 25 of Hoshiarpur and 22 of Kapurthala.

About 102 palace owners had applied for regularisation by February 28. There were 41 more applications received by the office after this time, leaving 61 still without compliance. The association of palace owners had then met the bureaucrats at Chandigarh and got the action delayed yet again.

A.Venu Prasad, Secretary, Housing and Development, had earlier ordered the closure notices to the palaces who had not applied, asking them to shut their premises in case they were not interested in applying through the new policy and getting the requisite permissions from the departments concerned.

Since many palaces did not shut down on their own, the JDA officials were ordered last week to seal the palaces. Chief Administrator JDA Supreet Singh Gulati said the palace owners had been given the last opportunity till May 15, after which the action was bound to be taken against the palaces which were covered under the master plan.

Asked about the status of other palaces which had applied for regularisation, he said, “Barring a few, most of the 102 palaces are yet to seek the NOC from the PPCB. Without this mandatory approval, we cannot give NOCs to the palaces.”

Complaint lodged against colleges charging fee from poor studentsMeeting summoned by Asst Commissioner (Grievances) todayTribune News Service

Jalandhar, May 6
The principals of 13 colleges of the city have been summoned by Dr Sanjeev Sharma, Assistant Commissioner (Grievances), with regard to the demand of fees from poor students.

Activists of the NGO Global Awareness Trust for Awareness of “Rights of Poor” today approached the DC with the demand that the fees of students of the said colleges be waived and action be initiated against the erring colleges.

While the DC was not available, activists approached the ADC Preneet Bhardwaj, who further directed them to the Assistant Commissioner.

While the SC scholarship and Indian and Punjab government instructions say that the fees of students with parents earning less than Rs 2 lakh should be waived in both government and non-government colleges, the same has not been done in the cases of these colleges, the activists claimed.

Madan Singh, president of the NGO, met the ADC and apprised him of the 28 to 30 children studying in various government and private colleges whose fees had allegedly not been waived.

The Assistant Commissioner has summoned the principals of various colleges to meet him at a meeting scheduled at 11 am tomorrow. District Welfare Officer Rajinder Singh, to whom the NGO had also complained has also been summoned.

Talking about the plight of some of the children, Madan Singh said there were some who were not even allowed to sit for the exams as they were asking for fee waiver.

The colleges against which the allegations have been levelled include St Soldier College for girls, Trinity College, SD College, MK College of Education, DAV College, Sant Baba Bhag Singh College, LPU, BD Arya College Cantt, MD Ifosus Lahar Complex, Nakodar, Doaba College and Guru Nanak National College, Nakodar.

JDA to introduce housing projects in Hoshiarpur, Nakodar 
Tribune News Service

Jalandhar, May 6
Having not been able to float even a single scheme since its inception six years ago, the Jalandhar Development Authority (JDA) has plans to float new housing projects at Hoshiarpur and Nakodar under a new Partnership Policy.

Having done away with acquisition schemes and land-pool scheme, the JDA is hopeful of getting a good response from the land-owners under its new policy.

The policy, which is set to be out in coming days, does not involve any purchase of land from the farmers, who continue to remain the owners till it is developed. The land, however, will be mortgaged to take a loan for development purposes. After the land development, the JDA will hold its auction, collecting 80 per cent of the selling price in favour of the landowner, and 20 per cent for itself.

Giving details, Chief Administrator JDA, Supreet Singh Gulati, said he was hopeful of the scheme getting a good response. “The policy will offer a win-win situation for the JDA as well as the land-owners. The land-owners will have a high share in the sale price of the property. The JDA will not have to take heavy loans on its head for investment purposes. The major cost borne by the JDA in any project goes on acquisition which will not be required in this case,” he said.

Earlier, the JDA had floated an Urban Estate, Phase-III, project first at Nangal Shama and then at Pholariwal. Both the projects, however, had failed to take off. In the Pholariwal plan, the JDA had planned to come up with a 300 acre scheme about four years ago, but it was grounded as the cost of the developed land came too high. The farmers were also not interested in land-pool scheme, as they were not sure on whether they would be able to sell it at their own end later.

Failure: Has not been able to float even a single scheme since its inception six years ago

‘Golden Visa’ Chinese man arrested for fraud (UPDATE)

As monied Chinese investors embrace Portugal’s Golden Visa programme, the ‘downside’ of the scheme has become all too apparent. Polícia Judiciária arrested a 42-year-old Chinese man in Cascais last week after an international warrant for his arrest was issued by Interpol. The man is wanted for a series of frauds in China and the Chinese authorities are now seeking his extradition from Portugal so that he can serve a 10-year prison sentence.

In response to the news, João Semedo of the Bloco da Esquerda said the golden visa scheme was transforming the country into a "paradise for international conmen" and money launderers.

As Portuguese MEP Ana Gomes predicted at the outset of the Golden Visa initiative launched by deputy prime minister Paulo Portas last year: “There might be all sorts of corrupt and even criminal organisations behind those who are benefiting ... It might simply be another very dangerous avenue to import additional corruption and criminality into the EU.”

Talking to the BBC before this latest scandal, Gomes stressed her concerns were related to other European countries operating similar schemes - not just to Portugal.

“Ana Gomes says cash-strapped European countries are so focussed on reviving their property industries that they are not looking at the potential risks,” writes BBC interviewer Susana Mendonça in a report entitled "The winners and losers of Portugal's golden visa scheme".

Despite assurances by Portuguese communities minister José Cesário that there is “nothing to worry about” and that all incoming applications for the visa programme are “scrutinised”, last week’s arrest would indicate procedures need to be tightened. According to the authorities, Interpol only issued the international arrest warrant a month after Xiaodong Wang was given his golden visa, but investigators in China would have been aware of his alleged crimes before that.

Reporting on the arrest, Rádio Renascença claimed Wang “had bought the property that gave him the right for a visa with money obtained illegally”.

Wang was arrested last Thursday by the PJ’s anti-corruption squad and appeared before Lisbon’s Tribunal de Relação on Friday for a preliminary hearing.

Público reports that if the court decides to go ahead with his extradition - which he is understood to be contesting - the order will have to be signed by Justice Minister Paula Teixeira da Cruz.

Meantime, demand for Golden Visas is “so high” that Chinese businessman Brian Tang told the BBC he has opened a branch of his immigration agency in Lisbon precisely in order to put applicants in touch with Portuguese estate agents.

“There is a huge appetite from China coming over to Portugal,” said Tang. “Eighty per cent of the applicants are Chinese.”

Part of the appeal, he told Mendonça, was the “flexibility” of the programme. Foreigners only have to be in Portugal for seven days in the first year of residency.

It is the “flexibility” that has worried people like Ana Gomes. “I think it is a race to the bottom. It is actually very anti-EU,” she told Mendonça. “Each country is trying to outdo the other in terms of better conditions.”

While in Portugal and Spain investors have a minimum spend of €500,000 on a property to get a visa, in Cyprus it is €300,000, and in Greece it is €250,000 - and with this outlay, the non-EU nationals receive free circulation throughout Europe as well as other fiscal benefits.

Golden Visa ‘update’

The very first Golden Visa was issued to Indian businessman Muthu Nesam last year, but since then, “the vast majority of golden visas have been attributed to Chinese business people”, writes Público. Of the 542 visas conceded by the middle of February this year, 433 were to Chinese, 23 were to Russians, 14 went to Brazilians and another 14 to Angolans.

By the end of 2013, the 417 visas attributed by the State represented a total investment of €316 million. Of this amount, 90% referred to the acquisition of property, the rest to the transfer of capital, writes Público, adding that right now, there are 400 Chinese awaiting decisions on golden visa applications.

Since the start of the scheme, 11 applicants have been refused, adds Público, one of them after inquiries discovered he was a member of a Chinese triad involved in organised crime since 1990.

Chinese ripped off in Golden Visa property scams

The Secretary-General of the Communist Party, Jerónimo de Sousa, blamed the recent left and the right wing governments for the "spread of a network of corruption" across the country, and he does seem to have a point.

The seasoned Communist leader argued that there is a deteriorating political and institutional situation from a government without authority or credibility caused by a visible spread of a network of corruption, the proliferation of secret webs, of cronyism, tax fraud and evasion.

De Sousa pointed to  the current Golden Visa arrests and revelations leading to the arrest of top state officials.

"Golden visas are the hallmark of this government and have proved to be an open door for money laundering, through the acquisition of luxury property and are a source of corruption," said de Sousa.

The communist leader added that the ruling parties do not govern for the people, but to defend powerful interests, adding that the possible privatisation of TAP "is another crime against national interests."

Jerónimo de Sousa said the Golden Visa case clearly shows that the government is discredited at home and abroad, should resign and call an early election, asking about the involvement of top government figures who gave instructions to the secret police (SIS) service which reports directly to the PM, to wipe computer records?"

The Golden Visa enquiry is continuing with income and asset statements submitted to the Constitutional Court made available in the press today. The former president of the Institute of Registration and Notaries, Antonio Figueiredo, seems to have emerged as the prime suspect, not only because he managed to juggle calls from his eight mobile phones.

Police, when searching the offices of the Foreigners and Borders Service did not have to look too hard to find envelopes with €100 notes inside, thought to be marks of appreciation from a grateful client for the overworked staff and stories have started to emerge of Chinese buyers taken to the cleaners by unscrupulous estate agents and builders who have been selling properties at upto double their market vales so that the €500,000 Golden Visa threshold is reached.

Three enraged Chinese businessmen claim they have been stitched up and have hired a lawyer in order to cancel their promissory contracts.

In October 2015, the 'Pu Hua Bao' newspaper aimed mainly at the Chinese community in Portugal, warned inbound Chinese citizens to be careful with these 'residence permits' as they may not be as golden as they were being described by product champion and deputy PM Paulo Portas.

The paper described two houses sold to one Chinese buyer in Lisbon for €250,000 each which he later found out were worth €150,000 each. His sister did the same, so this family spent €1 million on property worth just €600,000 - "The honeymoon with Portugal turned into a nightmare," wrote the paper.

In July this year, Ji Lin paid €500,000 for an apartment in Albufeira which he later discovered has a market value of €230,000. He found out only later when, his suspicions aroused, he commissioned two independent valuations.

The business selling the apartment to Ji LIn for more than double its market value was Empreendimentos Almorávi of Albufeira run by José Brazão who unsurprisingly has remained uncontactable to the gentlemen of the press.

XHTMLchop Helps to Convert PSD files

PSD or a Photoshop document is the outcome of a project that you have worked upon in software called Photoshop. Over the past few years, the company that makes the software has continued to grow and they have come up with a new innovation or some feature every other year. Keeping pace with the changing software can be a little difficult for some people but the experts in the field know how valuable it is. It is the bread and butter of so many companies and people. The versatile tool has helped millions of people find jobs and today it is being used by engineers, architects and web designers from all across the globe. That is the beauty of the software; one tool and multiple uses. There are hardly any products that have proven to be revolutionary as this one. It changed the way people design posters or create art. It changed the fashion industry for the better with final touches and artificial digital make-up. Today, it is changing the way people use the web by helping artists come up with some ground breaking techniques and ideas for the web. However, creating a website is not that simple. Anything that needs to be viewed on the web requires some form of conversion and this is where companies like XHTMLchop come into the picture.

These are companies that have understood the versatility of Photoshop and have come up with some brilliant ways to help people convert PSD files into several other data and file formats so that they can be used across many industries. There are several popular file format conversions that are carried out by these companies through some complex manual coding. Some of the more popular formats into which people convert PSD files include HTML, XHTML, HTML5, Responsive, Email Template, Wordpress, Joomla, Drupal , Magento, Opencart and Oscommerce. It must be noted that PSD files can be exported into many other file formats itself at the time of saving. Bitmap is among the more popular formats but it has the problem of showing the background of the main image. The image will look bad on a website and it thus needs to be converted. The companies that deal in PSD file conversion also help to produce some beautiful Vector conversions.

These companies have to take several other precautions such as quality control and time management. When one of the teams of the firm is assigned an order, they need to complete the same in the said duration. If they fail to complete the same within the said time, the reputation of the firm goes down and this is why such a situation rarely happens. Other than managing the quality and the time constrain, these firms have to ensure that every XHTML or HTML file is converted in a way that it is compatible across several browsers.

Many organizations are into this business and you can make your pick by going through some of the XHTMLchop review. This gives you a better idea as to which company should you eventually opt for.
