Allot land to makeshift police stations: LG
New Delhi, September 24 The matter was taken up in a meeting with the Police Commissioner and other senior officers of Delhi Police. "Policing is the topmost priority for our government. With expanding responsibilities, there is need to set up police stations in different parts of the city. The land agencies must extend their cooperation and fast-track the allotment of land for setting up these police stations at the earliest," said the LG. Out of the existing 181 police stations, 32 police stations are currently running in rented buildings, porta cabins, tents, etc. and there is need to shift them to permanent structures, said the Delhi Police Commissioner. Some of the locations where the new police stations are envisaged are Bharat Nagar, Neb Sarai, Safdarjung Enclave, Govind Puri, Pul Prahlad Pur, Subhash Palace, Kotla Mubarak Pur, IP Estate, Deshbandhu Gupta Road, Saket, Sonia Vihar, Fateh Pur Beri, Chhawla, Ranholla and Harsh Vihar. The LG directed the land owning agencies and the officials concerned to submit a status report on each of these locations to him by the first week of October so that allotment of land for building the police stations is expedited. In certain cases where formalities for allotment of land have been completed, the land owning agencies were directed to give possession of land to the Delhi Police immediately. The LG will review the allotment process with all concerned in mid-October. Keep high moral standards, officers told
Lieutenant Governor (LG) Najeeb Jung today appealed to field officers of the Delhi Police to maintain high moral standards and work with integrity and sensitivity. "If the perception about the Delhi Police has to change, dishonesty of any kind, has to become an anathema for the police. This should be done to restore pride to the uniform," said the LG. He urged the senior police officers to take upon themselves the administrative task of changing perception about the police. The LG said while punishment helps curb problems, it does not provide for long-term solutions. He said if one has to arrive at systemic solutions, then it must be mandated upon the senior officers to inspire their constabulary to raise their moral standards. He asked the officers to inculcate sensitivity in their day-to-day public dealing |

The victim identified as Kusum Sharma works at a shoe factory in the same area and had been living separately in Aman Vihar's Mubarakpur village with her two children after her divorce in early 2014. Her former husband, later identified as 40-year-old Giriraj, had been allegedly following the victim for a few days as she had refused to negotiate with him. The police suspect that the accused might have been demanding money from the victim. He is unemployed at present. They also suspect that he might have been pressurising her to "On Wednesday morning when Kusum reached the factory, she saw her ex-husband waiting for her. The accused began yelling at Kusum and asked her to speak to him. In order to avoid a scene near the workplace, Kusum agreed to walk a distance. The accused took her near the railway tracks where both of them got engaged in a heated argument," said a police officer. Giriraj then allegedly took out a bottle filled with kerosene out of his pocket and threw some of it on the victim, who tried to run away. "She tried to escape, but it was too late. The accused set her on fire and fled the spot. Some locals had noticed the commotion and quickly ran with buckets of water to save the woman. One of them made a call to the police and the victim was rushed to the Sanjay Gandhi Memorial hospital," said the officer. The hospital authorities informed the police that the victim suffered 40 per cent burns and is out of danger. Besides her body, the victim's face and head also received grievous injuries.

Govt decision on AIIMS CVO final: Vardhan
New Delhi, September 24 The BJP national general secretary and Rajya Sabha MP from Himachal Pradesh, JP Nadda, appears to have been instrumental in the process. He had written as many as four letters to the then DoPT Minister and the then Union Health Minister but undeterred by the refusal of the previous Congress-led UPA government, he pursued the matter with his party's Narendra Modi-led BJP government's health ministry through letters dated June 24 and August 3, 2014. However, Union Health Minister Dr Harsh Vardhan said that there was nothing "mala fide" in the government's decision to reprofile the job role of Chaturvedi while making it clear that his ministry's decision in the matter is irrevocable. |
