Punjab: MP Sahney announces Rs 51 lakh for skill centre in Majitha
Digital Desk | Amritsar, Sep 25 (IANS) Rajya Sabha MP Vikramjit Singh Sahney on Friday announced a Rs 51 lakh contribution to set up a Skill Development Centre in Majitha, Punjab, as part of his efforts to provide employable skills to young people and create alternatives to drug abuse. Addressing the ongoing Nasha Mukt Punjab Yatra, Sahney said the fight against drugs must go beyond awareness campaigns and include opportunities for education, skill development, employment and rehabilitation. If we want to make Punjab truly Nasha Mukt, we have to give our youth a positive direction and meaningful opportunities. A young person with skills, a job and a sense of purpose is far better equipped to stay away from drugs. The Rs 51 lakh contribution for the Skill Centre in Majitha is a step in that direction, he said. He added that the proposed centre would focus on market-oriented vocational training to improve employment prospects and enable young people to earn a dignified livelihood. Our Nasha Mukt Yatra is not merely about asking our youth to stay away from drugs. It is about creating an ecosystem in which they have education, skills, employment and hope. We must replace the culture of drugs with a culture of opportunity, enterprise and self-confidence, Sahney said. Referring to the campaign, he stressed that society must work together to prevent young people from falling into addiction and help those already affected return to productive lives. Punjabs fight against drugs must be accompanied by a determined effort to create jobs, strengthen skills and empower its youth. Punjab has immense talent. Our responsibility is to ensure that this talent finds the right opportunities here, rather than allowing our youth to be trapped by addiction or hopelessness, he added.

Avika added, Music videos have always been a great space to experiment, and I am enjoying that freedom.

Absconding since 2023, dismissed Punjab Police officer arrested in Patiala
Digital Desk | Chandigarh, Sep 24 (IANS) Dismissed Punjab Police Assistant Inspector General (AIG) Raj Jit Singh, who had been absconding since April 2023 in cases linked to alleged drug trafficking, extortion and corruption, was arrested on Thursday in Patiala city, officials said. Punjab DGP Gaurav Yadav confirmed to the media that Jit Singh was apprehended by a team of the Anti-Narcotics Task Force (ANTF) in Patiala following a technical and financial investigation. Police are expected to seek his remand for investigation in the cases registered against him. His arrest came days after his counsel told the Supreme Court that he was willing to give himself up. The apex court subsequently directed him to surrender before the authorities concerned and adjourned his plea, challenging a July 2026 order of the Punjab and Haryana High Court, for hearing on October 1. Jit Singh faces multiple cases, including an ANTF case relating to allegations of a police-drug trafficker nexus and extortion, another case under the Prevention of Corruption Act, and a Vigilance Bureau case concerning alleged disproportionate assets. He had been declared a proclaimed offender after failing to appear before the court. The allegations against him are linked to investigations into dismissed Punjab Police Inspector Inderjit Singh and the handling of drug-related cases during their postings. Singh was dismissed from service in 2023 following proceedings based on reports of the Special Investigation Teams constituted pursuant to Punjab and Haryana High Court orders. The investigations had also examined the failure of more than 50 NDPS samples during the period when Jit Singh was posted as Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) in Tarn Taran and Inderjit Singh was serving in the district police. Jit Singh has challenged the proceedings and has sought transfer of the investigation to another agency, contending that he would not receive a fair probe from the Punjab Police. His legal challenge is pending before the Supreme Court. However, the apex court has granted him liberty to file an appropriate application after surrender. Raj Jit Singh abused his official position to shield the drug peddlers/ smugglers from the clutches of law, implicated innocent persons in false drug cases and also managed to scuttle the investigations in the FIRs registered against Inderjit Singh, said a government order.
Pakistan: Ahead of PTI's long march, Punjab govt imposes ban on public gatherings
Digital Desk | Islamabad, Sep 24 (IANS) Ahead of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) planned long march in Islamabad on September 27, the Punjab government has imposed a 13-day ban on public gatherings across the province, closing roads and businesses in and around Attock and Rawalpindi and deploying Rangers paramilitary forces in four districts of the province, local media reported on Thursday. According to the notification issued by the Punjab government, gatherings, processions and assemblies of five or more people have been prohibited at public places, roads and open spaces in Punjab for 13 days. The notification said it bans carrying and displaying weapons and encouraging or inciting people to participate in unlawful gatherings in Punjab province, Pakistan-based daily The Express Tribune reported. The order excludes weddings, funeral prayers, burials, and gatherings at mosques and other places of worship. The notification said that law enforcement and intelligence agencies had received information regarding an imminent security threat, with militant groups planning to carry out attacks on public gatherings. Punjab government's latest order comes after it has detained several PTI leaders, workers and relatives of party founder Imran Khan on various grounds. On Monday, a petition challenging the 30-day detention orders issued against Imran Khan's three sisters was filed in the Lahore High Court (LHC), requesting their immediate release. The petition was filed after police arrested Imran Khan's three sisters - Aleema Khan, Noreen Niazi and Uzma Khan following the Lahore Deputy Commissioner's 30-day detention order under Section 3 of the Maintenance of Public Order (MPO) Ordinance. Aleema Khan's son, Shahraiz Khan, has filed the petition in court challenging the detention of his mother and two aunts. In the petition, Shahraiz Khan has requested the court to declare the detention order null and void and order the immediate release of all three women, The Express Tribune reported. He said that the detention order issued by the Lahore DC was illegal and unlawful. He alleged that Aleema Khan was arrested while she was travelling with her driver for personal work and there was no public gathering or situation that posed a threat to public order. The petitioner stated that Aleema Khan was detained along with her driver, Muhammad Ameer. On Monday, Imran Khan's son, Kasim Khan, condemned the detention of his aunts - Uzma Khan and Noreen Niazi, terming it as a criminal behaviour and urged the international community to act on the matter. In a post on X, Kasim Khan stated, This is a disgrace. Now my Aunts Dr. Uzma and Noreen, along with my cousins Shershah and Shahrez have now been abducted as well. They have broken into my aunties and cousins houses and forced them into vehicles with no explanation. No reasons for arrest have been stated. No news has been released as to where they have been taken. This is criminal behaviour. Inexcusable. The Pakistani people are petrified of their own leaders. No upstanding nation should tolerate this criminal establishment. Intervention is now imperative. The world MUST take action, he added.

Sharing two pictures from the film on his social media account, Avtar Gill remembered Puri not only as an extraordinary actor but also as a warm and affectionate person off screen. He shared a black-and-white still featuring himself alongside Amrish Puri, followed by another picture of the two actors from the film. Alongside the pictures, he wrote, A beautiful memory with the legendary Amrish Puri sahab while shooting for the movie Waaris (1988).

Directed by Ravindra Peepat, Waaris released in 1988 and featured an ensemble cast including Smita Patil, Raj Babbar, Amrita Singh, Raj Kiran, Kulbhushan Kharbanda and Amrish Puri. The film was based on Sohan Singh Hans' Punjabi novel Kaare Hatthi and revolved around inheritance, family conflict and a battle over ancestral land. Amrish Puri played Dulla Singh, while Avtar Gill essayed Dara Singh. Waaris was also significant for its cast and circumstances surrounding its release. Smita Patil, who played Paramjit 'Paro', passed before the film's release, and her lines were then dubbed by Rekha. Talking about Amrish Puri's journey to stardom, he entered films relatively late, making his screen debut in Reshma Aur Shera in 1971, at around the age of 39. His powerful baritone and personality made him particularly sought after for negative roles. From Vidhaata, Shakti, Hero, Meri Jung and Nagina to Mr. India, Shahenshah, Ram Lakhan, Tridev, Ghayal, Saudagar, Damini and Karan Arjun, Puri created a long list of memorable characters.

Jammu Police arrest fugitive after seven-month manhunt
Jammu, Sep 23: Jammu Police have arrested Karanjeet alias Gugga, a wanted criminal who had escaped from the Juvenile Home at R.S. Pura in February this year, after a nearly seven-month-long manhunt, SSP Jammu said on Wednesday. Addressing a press conference, the SSP said Karanjeet was among three inmates who escaped from the juvenile home following an incident in February. The other two, both Pakistani nationals, were later arrested in Ambala with the assistance of Punjab and Haryana Police. Following the escape, the investigation was handed over to the DSP SOG and a Special Investigation Team headed by the SP Operations was constituted to trace those involved. Eight people were arrested in that case. The investigation continued and at the same time we were trying to arrest Karanjeet alias Gugga, the SSP said. He said Karanjeet was involved in around 12 to 13 FIRs and police tracked his movements by developing information about his associates and gang links. Police teams followed leads in several locations, including Gorakhpur, Kolkata, Delhi and Maharashtra, but he managed to evade arrest. The SSP said police recently received information that Karanjeet was staying with some associates in Chandigarh. A team raided the suspected location but did not find him there. During the follow-up investigation, police learnt that he was staying at a hotel in Delhi. An SOG team subsequently travelled to Delhi and arrested him, the SSP said. He said the arrest was significant for the ongoing investigation into the juvenile home incident, as police had identified additional persons linked to the case. The SSP said Karanjeets interrogation would help establish missing links in the investigation, including how weapons and mobile phones reached the juvenile home. Police had earlier arrested the person who allegedly supplied the weapons, while further investigation is underway to establish the complete chain, he said. The SSP said Karanjeet had been moving between different locations to evade arrest, with police following leads across Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal, Maharashtra and Delhi.
