Sambar’s journey to city proves fatal
Jalandhar, January 22 Chased by mob, the adult male sambar that was spotted in Sant Nagar, along the Laddowali road, early this morning was caught by officials of the Punjab Wildlife Department with the help of police personnel. Scores of residents and passersby assembled at Sant Nagar which left the animal terrified, forcing it to run for refuge. The beast kept on leaping over the high boundary wall in the residential area while the mob was chasing it. The onlookers and residents followed the scared animal for a long time and even climbed the rooftops of their houses to have a better view. Though an ill-equipped team of the wildlife officials swung into the rescue operation, mishandling of the situation by it deteriorated the condition of the animal, claimed Jaspal Singh, an onlooker. In the process, the animal sustained serious injuries and blood started oozing out of its mouth. The shattered animal finally took refuge in an iron welding workshop and virtually "surrendered". The animal was caged and then loaded in a vehicle by foresters, which further added to its agony. While being taken for medication, the animal died due to the injuries sustained by it, claimed a wildlife officer. Talking to The Tribune, Divisional Wildlife Officer (DFO), Vishal Chauhan, claimed that the animal died due to the trauma it suffered after being chased by people. The postmortem examination of the carcass was conducted by a team of veterinary doctors. Preliminary medical reports revealed that the animal died of cardiac arrest. The carcass was later buried in a nearby jungle, he added. Meanwhile, another female sambar was safely rescued from Kishanpur village on the Jalandhar-Pathankot road late this evening. The DFO said the animal was rescued and would be released in forest after medication. Female sambar rescued

Protest by locker holders of Punjab & Sind bank
Jalandhar, January 22 Holding the management responsible for the incident in which the burglars had decamped with valuables after cutting open the lockers, the victims also suspected foul play in the incident. The irate victims also apprehended involvement of some insiders,
claiming that the burglars broke open the lockers containing valuables only and not those having cash in the
strong room. To lodge their protest, the victims also blocked the main gates of the bank and disrupted the employees from performing their duty. The victims were up in arms after the management denied any
compensation to the locker holders. The protesters have threatened to launch an indefinite protest if their demand for compensation was not considered by the management. Meanwhile, the police has failed to make any headway in the burglary. Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police Navjot Singh Mahal said they were working on various theories to crack the burglary shortly. |

City police deploys 100 women constables at different spots
Jalandhar, January 22 In an effort to make the traffic rules violators realise their mistakes and wrong-doings, the city police has deployed over 100 women constables at different spots. With the deployment of the women constables, who are under training, the police authorities claim to have made an attempt to sensitise the new recruits and educate the road users about the traffic rules. Interestingly, the newly appointed women constables, who have been given the job to educate the road users, are also been provided protection against eve-teasers and anti-social elements by senior police personnel. A survey by the Tribune found the trainees were deployed at BMC Chowk, Guru Nanak Mission Chowk, Nakodar Chowk, Kapurthala Chowk and certain other traffic light points in the city. They were also deployed at congested markets of the city for the smooth regulation of traffic. Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (ADCP), headquarters, Navjot Singh Mahal, claimed that the women constables, who were inducted into the Punjab Police just a couple of months ago, had been given the easiest job - traffic regulation - as part of their training. The trainees are being looked after by senior police personnel and are told how to behave with the violators while being in their limits as police personnel. They are being trained to follow other rules and regulations of the Punjab Police, said the ADCP. After their training in traffic management, the woman policemen will be shifted to other wings for further training, Mahal added. Meanwhile, the city police has deployed additional women constables at every police station to provide foolproof security cover to the women of the city. Apart from this, a round-the-clock helpline (1091) has been introduced and the night patrolling has been intensified. The recent incidents of abduction, kidnapping and rape have created an atmosphere of insecurity among women who have demanded additional deployment of women police force in and
around the educational institutions. |

Deepkamal Kaur Tribune News Service
Jalandhar, January 22 BB Gadnayak, senior specialist, NDMA, addressed a gathering, comprising of officials of the Punjab Police, ITBP, CRPF, Army, fire brigade, revenue and other departments. Gadnayak asked the district officials to have persons designated for the job in the event of any mishap, which could be flood, earthquake or major fire. He explained the structural organisation for the purpose. The specialist suggested that instead of appointing a technical person from the task force on the job to manage the disaster, the District Magistrate should himself take on the job of incident commander with his deputy, information and media officer and a liaison officer. He explained that three teams had to be formed, one of which would be operation section, second planning and third logistics. The logistics team would have people taking care of food, communication, compensation/claims, cost, procurement and other aspects. He asked the local disaster management professionals Daksh and Parminder Singh to form an emergency operation centre equipped with walky talkies, generator sets and adequate phones. The officials discussed the matter in context with issues related to command problem and division of work at the time of Shital Fibres factory collapse case in Jalandhar in April last year. A similar training would be held tomorrow under an Army officer. A mock drill is likely to be held day after.
