Punjab Senior citizens Tribunal orders son to pay Maintenance to mother

CHANDIGARH: The Maintenance of Parents and Senior Citizens Welfare Act 2007 was adopted by Punjab Government in July 2008. The court of the Tribunal under the Maintenance & Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act 2007 (Sub Divisional Magistrate) Jalandhar has pronounced a land mark judgment. H.S.Mattewal Advocate General Punjab informed that the Judge of the Tribunal has ordered Kamaljeet Singh s/o Sukhinder Singh r/o Jalandhar to deposit Rs. 10,000 per month as Maintenance allowance in the account of his mother Gurcharn Kaur through Cheque/Demand Draft. The court also directed Kanwaljeet Singh to allow his parents to reside in their residential house at Jalandhar and not restrain their entry. Kanwaljeet Singh had ousted his parents from the house and they were forced to stay with their daughter at Amritsar. Mattewal informed that this historic Act adopted by the state Government would prove to be a boon for such parents who were rendered shelter less in the old age. This Act would also safe guard the interest of such hapless old parents in providing them security in the evening of their life to live with honour and dignity.

Management of mucus related respiratory health problems

The objective of the paper is to create awareness among people about alternative and complimentary methods to control the problems.  The incidence of allergic rhinitis and  asthma are  increasing day by all over the world as a result of increase in pollution.  Its control has become difficult and a burden on people’s economy.  As a patient of allergic rhinitis and asthma, I evolved exercises to control  mucus related respiratory health problems. The exercises pertain to cleaning of sinuses, bronchial airways from excess mucus and to bring in control  inflammation.   Through the exercises, the problems can be brought under control within minutes.  

 Asthma causes the following changes in airways.  1. Inflammation (plays the role of immunological defense against infection, injury or allergy)    2. Excess mucus formation (is a prominent feature of inflammation. It becomes a ground for respiratory tract infections)    3. Broncho spasm   (results in narrowing of airways as a result of tightening of smooth muscles around them) Inflammation and its features together cause breathlessness in asthma patients. Methods (Exercises) and results:   1. Nasal irrigation (hydrotherapy, cleanses the upper respiratory tract)   2. Bronchial airways cleaning from excess mucus ( These exercises are based on the concept “ take deep breath and hold for about 20 to 30 seconds or more, bend  the body towards gravity assisted lobar positions”  On breathing out forcefully through nasal passages, the mucus gets drained out )   3. Physical, aerobic & yogic (the remodeled, debilitated respiratory muscles get strengthened and lung capacity improves).     

Conclusion:  Any mucus related respiratory problem affects first sinuses and then the tracheo bronchial tree as they constitute only one pathway.  Though the sinuses are away from lungs, they are considered to be the best guardians of lungs.  The cilia in the airways become defunct when excess mucus forms. Once the sinuses are cleaned of it, the airways also get cleaned.  The defunct cilia become active and ciliate mucus towards nasal passages. It can be blown out easily. The bronchial airways cleaning  exercises with gravity assisted lobar positions,  will assist in draining out total mucus from airways.  Allergic rhinitis, asthma and their co-morbid disorders can be brought under control.   The exercises are controlling and preventive.
