Needed: Overhaul for police infrastructure
Jalandhar, April 10
The Punjab police, which claims to be the savour of human life in the district, is in dire straits. At least a dozen police stations in the city and adjoining areas are functioning at rented buildings. And in some stations the condition is so pathetic that there is no place for keeping jail inmates.

Metal rules his head
Jalandhar, April 10
An industrialist, Sunil Jain, has a unique obsession. He travels a lot owing to business compulsions and collects not just the coins, currency notes and stamps of the countries wherever he goes but also the travel cards, telephone cards, sim cards and visa cards
that he purchases and uses during his sojourn there.
Not only has he simply invested on purchasing these items, he has even bought
expensive imported albums and boxes to arrange them in order and then flaunt
these before his special guests. The fact that he is very passionate about his
collection is evident from the way he discusses the importance of each and every
item that he takes out - its unique features and the way he managed to procure
it.

Omnipotent ‘pardhanji’
Jalandhar April 10
How a few selected writers reaped rich benefits in the “raj” of “pardhanji” and how the latter managed to twist the adverse political circumstances in his favour with the help of these scribes and his “money power” is the talk of the town. The influence of “pardhanji”, who was said to be very close to the powers that be and as part of the previous Congress regime, on a section of the media, particularly at the middle level, was apparently great and inedible.
