Indo-Pak officials discuss rail issues
Amritsar, September 14 Indian delegation was led by Divisional Railway Manager Vishvesh Chaube while the Pakistan’s delegation was headed by Divisional Superintendent Mohammad Javed Anwwar at the meeting. An official from the Customs Department also attended the meeting. The sources in the department here said the railway authorities took up the issue of replacing existing four-wheel bogie for goods train with eight-wheel one, which would help enhance trade between two neighbouring nations through the rail route. Existing four-wheel bogies have less capacity to carry load as compare to eight-wheel bogies. The Indian railway authorities also urged the Pakistan authorities to increase frequency of goods train besides discussing the delayed arrivals of Samjhauta express and illegal smuggling of narcotics through trains. Anwar said the matter of operating eight-wheel bogies is with the governments and as soon as they would get the approval, they were ready to run the same. On smuggling, he said they had come about this menace only through the newspapers and they were looking at the issue and the guilty would be punished. The custom officials said they had informed their Pakistani counterparts about the smuggling activities a number of times, yet the illegal activity continued to prosper. |

‘Scuffle’ between pilgrim, sewadar at Golden Temple
Amritsar, September 14 According to sources, trouble broke out when Harpal Singh, a resident of Sultanwind area in Amritsar, was standing in a queue for receiving ‘parshad’ at the exit point of the Golden Temple. A sewadar, Jasbir Singh Fauji, who was on duty there, was urging the devotees to keep on moving ahead so that there was no rush. However, when he asked Harpal to move on the latter objected to it. This led to an altercation. Soon, the two reportedly entered into a scuffle and also exchanged blows. This prompted the other sewadars on duty to intervene and save the situation from worsening. The matter was then reported to Darbar Sahib Manager Harbans Singh Malhi. When contacted, Malhi admitted that a heated argument took place between the two, but denied reports of a scuffle. According to him, the pilgrim appeared to be mentally upset before the incident. He said the pilgrim and the sewadar had reached a compromise later and the devotee even gave in writing to him that he had no complaints now. On the other hand, no case has been registered with the police in this regard. |

Kidnapping turns out to be fake
Batala, September 14 A case was registered under Section 364 of the IPC on September 6 at the Ghanie ke Bangar police station on a complaint by Surjit Singh that on September 5 his son was kidnapped from his Indica car (PB-06-G6263), which was found abandoned near Alliwal bridge with broken glasses and blood spots. He alleged that his son might have been kidnapped by Bitto, Prem Masih, Bunty and Shoki, as there was an old enmity between his son and them. During investigation it was found that Bikramjit Singh surfaced and got admitted to the Civil Hospital. The investigation officer visited him in the hospital several times, but he kept on feigning unconsciousness and he was discharged from the hospital yesterday. While talking to mediapersons here today, Gurkirpal Singh, SSP, disclosed that Bikramjit Singh confessed that he enacted the drama of kidnapping to falsely implicate Bunty, Bitto, Prem and Shoki in a case to take revenge from them. The SSP said the case against Bunty, Bitto, Prem and Shoki would be cancelled and appropriate action would be taken against Bikramjit Singh.
