DODA: A group of 250 women are being trained by the police in the Doda district to become Village Defence Guards (VDGs), which will enable them to stop terrorist activities in their communities. These rural women from the hilly district of Doda are receiving training in firearms and other fighting techniques in order to thwart the evil schemes of the peace enemy. "Motivated to play their roles in safeguarding their villages, these women came forward and opted for weapon training as over a dozen villagers were killed in Kulhand massacre by the terrorists in the year 2006," sources said. There are currently 875 VDGs with over 6000 members, of which only 4600 are compensated. Training in firing, area domination, and patrolling is provided to these VDG members. These VDG members, according to Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Doda, are doing well and assisting law enforcement and other security agencies in monitoring anti-national elements. According to the SSP, the police have established firing ranges in Doda, Bhaderwah, and Gandoh where these VDG members receive regular training and practice firing.

JAMMU: Area-wide dominance operations have been initiated in several locations within the twin border districts of Rajouri and Poonch with the aim of eliminating terrorists and their supporters, as well as locating their hiding places in forested areas, upper reaches, and other areas. In the Rajouri district's Thannamandi area, a few hideouts were broken during the operations, yielding a significant amount of weapons, ammunition, and explosives. Officials claim that joint teams of the Army, police, and paramilitary forces have been searching for militants in forests, mountains, and other vulnerable areas where they may have taken refuge."The officials stated that the area domination operations will increase pressure on the militants in the upper reaches and forests, resulting in encounters and their elimination." Just yesterday, at Thannamandi, security forces retrieved four grenades, materials to make IEDs, two pistols with four magazines, four hand grenades, bags, blankets, trousers and other items. It appears from the recoveries that the militants may have stayed nearby. Alternatively, it's possible that the Over Ground Workers (OGWs) dumped the shipment and intended for it to be picked up later, but the security forces recovered it in time.

Prior to his arrival in Delhi, Lalit Jha, the accused in the security breach incident at Parliament, destroyed five cell phones, according to sources close to the Delhi police. He also lied to the investigating team. In anticipation of their arrest, the four accused gave Jha their phones prior to the security breach in order to keep important investigation details from getting to the police. "Lalit Jha destroyed not four but five mobile phones after fleeing to Rajasthan's Kuchaman," according to police sources.Mahesh Kumawat, the sixth accused in the case of the Parliament security breach, was earlier given seven days of custody by the Patiala House Court in this city to the Police. Mahesh Kumawat was placed under custodial remand for fifteen days by Delhi Police. In the case, he is the sixth accused person detained. Lalit Jha and the other five accused have already been placed under police custody. Lalit Jha, the defendant in the case of the Parliament security breach, was given seven days of custody by the Patiala House Court on Friday. The December 13 anniversary of the 2001 Parliament terror attack coincided with the security breech.During Zero Hour, two individuals, Sagar Sharma and Manoranjan D, leaped from the public gallery into the Lok Sabha chamber, unleashed yellow gas from canisters and yelled anti-establishment slogans before being overpowered by the MPs. Neelam (42) and Amol (25) demonstrated outside the Parliament in a different incident, carrying identical petrol canisters. On Thursday, though, the Delhi Police Special Cell placed all four in their custody for a period of seven days.

editor December 16, 2023Leave a comment

POONCH: Under section 68-F of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act of 1985, J&K Police has attached a residential house, JCB, and tractor in Degwar, Terwan area near LoC in Poonch district. During a press conference, SSP Poonch Vinay Sharma stated that a residential house belonging to Shakar Din, son of Noor Din, who lives in Degwar Terwan in Tehsil Haveli in Poonch, was constructed on land bearing khasra number 400. This house was attached in a case under FIR number 42/2023 Under Sections 8/21/22/25/27A/29/60 NDPS Act. Additionally, JCB 3DX, registered under the number JK12B-6168, and a Mahindra Tractor, registered under the number JK12C 4438, belonging to Mohd Yaseen, son of Saif Din, who lives in Degwar Terwan, were attached via FIR number 77/2023 Under Sections 8/21/22/29 NDPS Act, 13/18 UAPA Act, and 4/5 Explosives Act.It is important to note that the J&K Police attached the residential house and the JCB tractor in the presence of the Executive Magistrates, Tehsildar Haveli Anjum Bashir Khatak and Naib Tehsildar Haveli Maroof Khan. The Senior Superintendent of Police went on to say that we have begun to freeze the properties of drug dealers and peddlers. This is our first instance of doing so in Poonch, where we have attached a residential house, JCB, and tractor valued at Rs 87.86 lakh in the Degwar-Terwan area of Poonch. A few days prior, we had attached a double-story residential house, two personnel vehicles, an ALto, and a Tata Mobile in Surankote. He stated that more properties have been identified in these cases and that Poonch police will continue to take action against drug dealers and peddlers. This year, they have filed 47 First Information Reports under the NDPS Act, arrested 83 people, and recovered 87 kg of heroin. As far as property seizures are concerned, we've seen that apprehending drug dealers or peddlers is insufficient. We therefore began attaching their properties, for which they carry out this kind of labour. We retrieved 24 kg of heroin and 15 lakh in cash from the two property owners who are currently facing legal action. This is comparable to the Mendhar case, where major drug dealers were involved, and it also answers the question of why real mafias avoid the police's grasp," the speaker continued.
