Ensure fair poll, DGP tells police
Chandigarh, March 8 He was presiding over a coordination meeting of police officers here. Dr Malik, whose wife is the INLD candidate from Sonepat Lok Sabha seat, said that the force should ensure free and fair poll in the state. He advocated centralisation of the police cadre to avoid heartburning among the constabulary and providing them with an equal promotional opportunity. Dr Malik said the government had been requested for revising the Police Act, keeping in view the directions of the Supreme Court and in consonance with the recommendations of the National Police Commission. He declared Mr C.P. Bansal, Additional DGP Headquarters, as the nodal officer for implementing the solar system in the Haryana Police complexes. The Additional Director-Generals, Armed Police and Training, Madhuban and Bhondsi, Range Inspectors-General and also Railways and CID were directed to make provision for solar lighting, heating and water heating etc in their respective command areas and Police Lines. Steps should also be taken for the conversion of all temporary posts to permanent. He also advocated the creation of research and development cells in every police headquarters. The Government had agreed in principle to reserve 5 per cent plots in HUDA colonies for the police personnel dying on duty. |

Robbery was planned in jail
Karnal, March 8 Two weeks back, when the District Magistrate, Mr R.S. Doon, along with other officials of the district administration, raided the jail, many flaws in the management system were detected. A knife, drugs and Kisan Vikas Patras worth Rs 2 lakh were seized from inmates during the raid. Mr Doon had already recommended to the state Home Department to immediately transfer the Jail Superintendent, Mr Yudhister Yadav, and the Medical Officer, Dr Munish Kumar. Last week, a convict was murdered in the jail, allegedly by one of his brothers lodged in the same jail. Police sources revealed that an FIR had been registered in the robbery case against the history-sheeter, Vajira, and his father, mother and an associate arrested on charges of providing shelter to criminals and hatching conspiracy in the case. However, the main accused was still eluding the police till the reports last came in. It may be mentioned that four robbers, equipped with automatic firearms, looted Rs 65,000, a revolver and 450 gm of jewellery from the house of Mr Vijay Kumar on Saturday. The incident also raised doubts over the role of the jail staff in writing the conduct and character report of convicts before recommending them for parole. The main suspect, Vajira, had allegedly planned the robbery in the jail and executed it after getting released on parole on February 26. Vajira’s father Lakhmi Chand, mother Phoolo Devi and associate Jeeta, who were arrested by the local police yesterday, were today produced before a local court. The court has ordered judicial custody for them for 14 days. The sources further said that a special team had been constituted to investigate into the case. A police party had also rushed to Saharanpur district in Uttar Pradesh to conduct a raid on a possible hideout of
Vajira. |
