Two major thefts rock Doon
Dehradun, September 6 Owner of Shiva Sanitary Shop on Saharanpur Road Ashok Gupta said he was bewildered to see his shop broken into as he opened it at 9 in the morning. A tunnel of 2.5 feet was dug up from a drain flowing nearby to break into his shop. The thieves failed to carry three bags full of coin currency and left them in the drain itself. Ironically, there is a police picket just in front of the shop. The police personnel on duty could not get a whiff of the activity which continued throughout the night and must have made a lot of noise as well. The road where the shop is situated is also one of the busiest roads which leads to the railway station and the ISBT as well, and remains lit up in the night. Gupta locked the shop at 9.30 at night, which shows the thieves worked laboriously throughout the night to dig the tunnel through a stinking drain. Gupta said now he could not leave cash behind in the shop, nor could he carry it with him on the way as he feared he might be killed on the way or at home. He put labourers on work to repair his shop and hired a guard for the night. President of Doon Traders' Association Vipin Nagliya said: " Traders are feeling highly insecure as every second or third day the shops are being looted. It has become difficult to do business in the city." They met Senior Superintendent of Police Neeru Garg, who assured the association of further tightening the night patrolling in the main markets of the city. She also attached the two police personnel who were on duty in the picket with the police lines for negligence. In another theft at the posh Govindpur locality on Sahastardhara Road, thieves entered the house of Additional General Manager, BSNL, Pradeep Kandpal, from the backdoor by cutting the grill. When schoolgoing children of Pradeep Kandpal and his wife, Malvika, a lecturer in SGRR College, reached home in afternoon, they saw the entire house ransacked and the grill broken from the rear.
A theft of gold and silver jewellery worth Rs 20 lakh and cash of Rs 30,000 had been reported. The city police had hardly heaved a sigh of relief by cracking the high-profile theft at Sai Temple a few days ago, that these two thefts once again gave them sleepless nights. They could not get a clue in both the cases. The police is interrogating the persons who work in the sanitary shop. The Kandpal family members are doubting their servant, who left the job some time ago, and also the labourers who cemented the floorin the verandah on the backside quite recently.

Police working to be monitored in Haridwar : DIG
Haridwar, September 6 In the city to discuss the rising crime graph with police officials, DIG Sanjay Gunjiyal said that initiatives such as beat policing and usage of technology need to be undertaken on a large scale. Talking to
TNS, DIG Gunjiyal, who was earlier SSP, Pauri Garhwal and Haridwar, said that though crime incidents were on the rise, the solving of cases of grievous crimes such as murder, loot and kidnapping was almost 90 pc during past three months. "We have to give credit to Haridwar police for busting a large number of major criminal acts in a short span of time. But it is also a fact that in comparison to other districts, Haridwar is quite sensitive," said
Gunjiyal. On the directions and suggestions he was giving to SSP,
Haridwar, Arun Mohan Joshi, Gunjiyal referred to time-tested measures such as night patrolling, beat patrolling, beefing up local intelligence and usage of modern technology such as CCTV and surveillance system to control the crime
graph.
Pointing out that with Haridwar district, having border with crime sensitive districts of Uttar Pradesh, was
an easy getaway point for criminals. Coordination of inter-state police was imperative. With 100-odd
industrial units being set up at Integrated Industrial Estate in
Sidcul, DIG Gunjiyal stressed on tenant and labour verification on a large scale. This, he termed,
as imperative as most of the criminals caught in the past few months either
were working or had worked at Sidcul-based factories. "I have given instructions to SSP
Joshi and SP KL Shah to review the working of Station House Officers and sub inspectors in-charge of police posts as any laxity could prove fatal later, " said Gunjiyal.

Telecom towers being installed in residential areas
Sandeep Rawat Tribune News Service
Haridwar, September 6
The gross violation of norms by cellular service providers while installing towers, particularly on rooftops of residential and commercial buildings, has come to light in Haridwar. According to sources, 38 of the 47 telecom towers in the city periphery have been installed without obtaining the requisite permission from the Haridwar Development Authority (HDA). At least 12 companies have not even applied to the HDA for maps for installing towers. Still worse, these companies have also not taken a no objection certificate (NOC) from the Fire Department though most of these towers have been installed in densely populated areas. Notably, a fire incident was reported last year at the Ranipur-Chandracharya intersection market where a telecom tower was installed. In April this year, a similar fire incident was reported from the basement room of a tower at Shravan Nath colony as a generator had gone up in flames. The fire was extinguished after hours of efforts by firemen. This exposed laxity on the part of the HDA as well as a nexus between the telecom companies and their agents who lured house owners into allowing them to install towers on their buildings. Secretary of the HDA Girdhari Singh Rawat said earlier too such cases of violation were reported and the HDA had taken legal action against the offenders. He added now in view of a potent threat to the lives of residents and property from these towers, the defaulting cellular companies would be identified and taken to task. The records at the district Fire Department office also showed that the mobile phone companies had installed towers in the city without permission or an NOC.

Around 600 buildings at Landour Bazaar have been termed as dangerous for living by the Disaster Management Department which has recommended their reconstruction in which the Kohinoor building figures on the top. The owner of the building Virendar Rawat said the incident could have been avoided if his plea submitted 20 years ago for the renovation had been accepted by the Mussoorie Dehradun Development Authority (MDDA). The local MLA Ganesh Joshi also visited the site and directed the officials to shift the residents to a safer place as the other portion still intact could also fall at any moment. The residents also demanded to give relaxation in the guidelines so that they were able to reconstruct their houses which were also in the state of dilapidation to avoid the repetition of such incident in near future.
