Changing
face of Ghumar Mandi
Ludhiana, May 11
Ghumar Mandi, once the exclusive domain of potters, which
was then located on the outskirts of Ludhiana, has over the

new city. A couple of potters, however, still manage to eke out
a living by selling earthenware.

Flavour of the
week
THE police is supposed to help the public. But in the city, the atrocities of the police have surpassed the tolerance levels of the public. Deaths in police custody have proved that the police is nothing short of barbarians. In spite of the people raising hue and cry, stoning police vehicles, gheraoing police stations, the police seems to be quite indifferent to public pressure.
