Chandigarh, Dec 3 (IANS) The Punjab Police on Friday recovered four hand grenades and one tiffin bomb concealed in a sack from Salempur Araiyan village in Gurdaspur district, close to the Indo-Pakistan border.
Sharing details, Director General of Police (DGP) Punjab Iqbal Preet Singh Sahota said keeping in view the recent recoveries of RDX, hand grenades and pistols from the border district, strong barricading has been done.
He said that during checking near Salempur Araiyan village, the police found a sack in the bushes on the roadside. On checking, four hand grenades and one tiffin bomb concealed in it were recovered.
Bomb disposal teams have defused the explosive material, he added.
The DGP said on the directions of Deputy Chief Minister Sukjhinder Singh Randhawa, the police, especially the border districts police forces, are on high alert and night domination operations are being carried out daily.
Several ADGP-rank officers have been deputed to supervise the night domination operations in the border districts, he said.
Earlier this week, the police in Gurdaspur recovered 0.9 kg RDX and two hand grenades after the disclosure by Sukhwinder Singh, alias Sonu, of Lopoke in Amritsar.
The Indian Prime Minister has always put the nation's unity and integrity above all other considerations, and perhaps therefore chose not to give any handle to vested interests, particularly Pakistan sponsored and funded elements, to create divisions and instability in Indian society, and especially among Sikhs.
Addressing a public gathering here, Channi categorically said people are being unnecessarily harassed by the cable mafia by levying hefty charges which would not be tolerated anymore in future.
Hitting out at Navjot Singh Sidhu, the BJP on Monday said that Punjab Congress chief is creating unwarranted fears in the minds of farmers by suggesting that the Centre had plans to do away with the MSP system.
After literally turning a deaf ear to the farmers’ issues for over a year, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday, November 19, 2021, in a dramatic move, announced the withdrawal of the three controversial farm laws, which were at the heart of the farmers’ protests across the country.
Earlier, Dhesi sent a letter, signed by over 100 British MPs and Lords, to Prime Minister Boris Johnson on the ongoing farmers' protests, asking him to raise this matter with his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi when they next liaise.
The Chief Minister told the media here that for more than a year since the Central government had brought three agriculture laws for the benefit of farmers, especially small and marginal ones, unfortunately, some farmer unions had been protesting on the Delhi borders.
