By Tricitynews
Chandigarh 27th August:- Dr. Kochar’s House of Smiles, a state-of- the- art dental clinic located in Sec 21, Chandigarh, has achieved a National milestone. The clinic has been given the coveted NABH (National Accreditation Board for Hospitals & Healthcare Providers) Accreditation, which is the highest National Recognition for International quality and patient safety. Dr Kochar’s House of Smiles is the first dental clinic of Chandigarh to have got this recognition.  
Dr. Parag Kochar, CEO & Principal Dentist and Dr. Manisha Kochar, Owner of Dr. Kochar's House of Smiles and senior members of the management announced the details of accreditation during a press meet held at the clinic’s premises.
It is noteworthy that NABH is a constituent board of Quality Council of India, set up to establish and operate accreditation programmes for healthcare organizations.
Speaking on the occasion Dr Parag Kochar said that we are all feeling proud on becoming the city’s first NABH accredited dental clinic. It was a very challenging journey for us but the hard work and efforts of the staff members have made this dream come true. It was a very tough process as we had to meet all standards and policies of the accreditation system.
He further added that the parameters which we had to meet were usage of CE- certified materials, training for various medical and non-medical emergencies, X-ray machine registration with BAR, regular air and water quality checking and maintenance, 24 hours backup of electricity etc.
The clinic also conducted regular training and meetings to follow the standard operating procedures, even the housekeeping staff was trained to save a life through fire mock drills and BLS mock Drills.
Dr. Manisha Kochar said that the International level best practices already in place at our clinic made the accreditation smooth for us. We have been adhering to strict quality standards. We have a hygienic environment, and we check air and water quality, before and after every surgical treatment. The operatories are fumigated to reduce the chances of infection and we use only CE certified materials.
The experts also shed light on how a prestigious accreditation like NABH helps the patient community to choose the right clinic for treatment.
Dr Manisha explained further that NABH is the accreditation, which gives a clinic or hospital a certification of higher standards of quality in providing healthcare. What also helped us get the accreditation was the high level of sanitisation we have in the clinic.  Our USP is the B class Autoclave we have for instrument sterilization, this makes all procedures safe and there is no fear of infections.
During the press meet, first time in city, latest & unique technologies were also showcased. These included Mouth tour - an intra-oral camera for a mouth video tour, J Morito endomotor- a hand-piece through which a dentist can work subtly and sensitively and ‘Shape scanner’, which records the shape, size and color, of the tooth & one can get the denture or implant the same as your natural teeth in later ages or when required.
The ambiance of the clinic also helped it in its endeavour to get NABH accreditation. The white décor makes the clinic’s interiors soothing. There is even a meditation room at the reception. For patient comfort, a massager, refreshing beverages and IPads etc have been catered for.
Dr. Parag Kochar said that we are really happy with this achievement and would like to share our happiness with visitors, who will get 25 percent concession on all dental treatments for one month.

Chandigarh 27th August:- राष्ट्रीय राजमार्ग 152 डी 352 के निर्माण में ज़मीन अधिग्रहण का उचित मुआवजा, फसल के न्यूनतम समर्थन मूल्य में बढ़ोतरी आदि मांगो को लेकर लंबे समय धरने पर बैठे किसानों ने आगामी विधानसभा चुनाव के लिए विपक्ष को संगठित करने की मुहिम शुरू कर दी है। गौरतलब है कि किसान नेता रमेश दलाल के नेतृत्व में चलाई गई किसान न्याय यात्रा के दौरान भाजपा सरकार के तानाशाही रवैये को देखते हुए विपक्ष को संगठित करने की आवाज़ उठी थी। इस मुहिम पर खापों किसानों ने मोहर लगाते हुए रमेश दलाल को आगे की कारवाई के लिए अधिकृत किया था। उसी मुहिम को आगे बढ़ाते हुए सोमवार को रमेश दलाल के नेतृत्व में कुछ खाप किसान प्रतिनिधियों ने अभय चौटाला, अजय चौटाला, भूपिंदर सिंह हूडा दीपेंदर हूडा से मुलाकात की।
रमेश दलाल का कहना है कि पहले दौर की वार्ता सकारात्मक रही। वार्ता का ब्यौरा देते हुए रमेश दलाल ने कहा कि सबसे पहली मुलाकात अभय चौटाला से की गई। अभय चौटाला ने खापों को सम्मान देते हुए कहा कि खापों का निर्णय उनके लिए हमेशा सर्वोपरि है तथा विपक्ष को एकजुट करने के लिए जो भी खापों का फैसला होगा, वो उन्हें मान्य होगा। अभय चौटाला ने खापों को उनके द्वारा दी गई प्रतिबद्धता के समर्थन में हलफनामा तक देने की बात कही। उसके बाद अजय चौटाला से विपक्ष को संगठित करने को लेकर मुलाकात की गई। अजय चौटाला ने भी खापों का सम्मान किया तथा महागठबंधन को लेकर सहमति दर्ज की भरोसा दिलाया कि वह खापों के फैसले से अलग नही जाएंगे। अभय चौटाला व् अजय चौटाला ने कहा कि स्वर्गीय चौ. देवी लाल ने उन्हें खापों व् किसानो का सम्मान करने की शिक्षा दी है, इसलिए हम खापों व् किसानो द्वारा किए फैसले के साथ है।  
उसके बाद रमेश दलाल अन्य प्रतिनिधियों ने भूपिंदर हूडा दीपेंदर हूडा से मुलाकात कर उनके सामने विपक्ष को संगठित करने का प्रस्ताव रखा। जवाब में भूपिंदर हूडा ने पार्टी में विचार विमर्श करने के लिए एक हफ्ते का समय मांगा है। रमेश दलाल दलाल का कहना है कि वह इस मुद्दे को लेकर लगातार बहुजन समाज पार्टी के संपर्क में भी है।
इसी सिलसिले में महागठबंधन की मुहिम को आगे बढ़ाते हुए 1 सितंबर को अभय चौटाला दुष्यंत चौटाला के बीच मीटिंग तय हुई है। मीटिंग में मध्यस्ता के लिए  रमेश दलाल के नेतृत्व में 5 सदस्यीय पैनल उपस्थित होगा जिसमें खाप किसान प्रतिनिधि शामिल होंगे। स्वर्गीय चौ. देवी लाल परिवार के संगठित हो कर चुनाव लड़ने की स्थिति में आगामी विधानसभा चुनाव में भाजपा को भारी नुकसान होना तय है।
साथ ही रमेश दलाल ने ओमप्रकाश चौटाला की रिहाई का मुद्दा भी उठाया। ओमप्रकाश चौटाला के साथ हुई साजिश की जानकारी देते हुए रमेश दलाल ने बताया कि 84 साल उम्र 80 प्रतिशत अपंगता के कारण कानून जेल मैन्युअल के प्रावधान चौ. ओमप्रकाश चौटाला की रिहाई के पक्ष में है, लेकिन इसके बावजूद भी उन्हें रिहा नही किया गया क्योकि सरकार नही चाहती कि स्वर्गीय चौ. देवी लाल का पूरा परिवार संगठित हो। लेकिन हरियाणा का किसान आम आदमी चाहता है कि चौ. देवी लाल परिवार संगठित होकर इस तानाशाह भाजपा सरकार से प्रदेश का पीछा छुटाए।
