No pullout from J&K: Swami
Karnal, November 6 Only “partial shuffling” of extra troops deployed in Pakistan-bordering states — other than Jammu and Kashmir — was underway, he told UNI here. Mr Swami said except for the USA the rest of the world considered Pakistan a big source of terrorism. “Only America is not interested in declaring Pakistan a terrorist state.” He, however, described as a big blow to Pakistan President Gen Pervez Musharraf the installation of Mr Mufti Mohammed Sayeed as the new Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir after successful elections in the troubled state. Mr Swami also reiterated Deputy Prime Minister L.K. Advani’s remarks that the two terrorists killed at Delhi’s Ansal Plaza on Divali eve belonged to Pakistan. They were sent by the ISI to foment communal tension in the country on the eve of the festival of lights, he added.

Hold-up at bank; Rs 30,000 robbed Pinjore, November 6 Armed with two revolvers and knives, the four car-borne youths reached the bank at around 11.15 am and parked their vehicle in front of the bank building. Two of them went inside the bank and stormed into the cashier’s cabin. The robbers forced the bank employees — Ms Kailash Narula, Mr Rajpal Yadav, an accountant, and Wariam Singh, a class IV employee — at gunpoint to open the chest. They took the money from them and locked the three in a room. The robbers reportedly sped away in a red Maruti car towards Baddi. The matter came to light when the branch manager, who was on a field tour, returned and found his staff locked. He subsequently informed the police. The four robbers, in their early twenties, threatened the bank employees of dire consequences and directed them to hand over entire cash, said Ms Kailash Narula, the bank cashier. “They were wearing turbans and had beard. All four were speaking in Punjabi and Hindi,” said Mr Rajpal Yadav. Soon after the news spread, the Panchkula police sounded an alert and set up roadblocks to seal all escape routes. The police of neighbouring states was also informed and red colour cars were stopped and searched. Senior police officials, including Mr Ranbir Singh, SP, and bank officials visited the scene of the crime. A case under Sections 342, 392 and 506 of the IPC has been registered on the complaint of Mr Rajpal Yadav. Traders and other financial institutions in the area have demanded stricter security measures in the town and frequent police patrolling in colonies and nearby villages. |
