CHANDIGARH: The radical groups in punjab are trying to regroup to show their presence. This was stated here Thursday by Punjab Director General of Police S.S.Virk while presiding over the law and order meting of Punjab police officers here.

Virk described the Law & Order situation in the state fully under control though he added isolated efforts are being planned by some modules of radical elements to disturb the peace. Punjab had passed through a decade of terrorism during late eighties and early nineties when Sikh radicals had raised demand of Khalistan, an independent state for Sikhs.

Some of the former militants extradited by Punjab Police from USA and Canada have now joined political outfit Akali Dal Amritsar led by Simranjit Singh Mann. Harpal Singh Cheema, a militant, who was deported from the US few months ago, joined the Akali Dal (Mann) faction and designated its vice-president. Diljit Bittu and Daya Singh Lahoria are among other former militants who have joined active politics. Last week another militant Kulvir Singh Barapind has been extradited from USA. The Punjab police has sought extradition of about 12 militant leaders from USA including Mahesh Inder Singh and Gurprit Singh.

DGP said that Punjab Police was fully determined and geared up to dismantle their nefarious designs and plans. This will need more emphasis keeping in view the forthcoming general elections in the state.

Virk directed district police chiefs to sensitize the force in event of any stray incidents or violence by the vested interests. He claimed that the overall situation regarding the crime, is much better then the previous years but there have been some cases of robberies, snatchings etc. and the leads in such incidents have to be pursued professionally. The important crime cases must be worked out without any delay, he told officials.

Virk asked the senior police officers to personally visit the Sub Divisions and Police Stations to check the progress in crime detection and investigations of the cases and interact with lower level police officials to gather specific information. Regular pairvy of court cases and litigation works must be supervised and crime record of CIAs and police stations must be updated. He asked them that guilty should be punished in custodial death cases.

Taking the serious view of drug trafficking in the border state, DGP said that special efforts must be taken to nab such notorious drug traffickers and confiscate their properties as per new provisions. To check the human trafficking, he asked the field officers to track the illegal activities of unscrupulous travel agents and strict legal action has to be taken in such cases.

In order to bring out more improvement in the police functioning at the lower level, Virk suggested that improve carrier profile of lower officials and fill up their vacancies through promotions in time. Their genuine problems and constructive suggestions must be heard by their superiors regularly. He further added that the detectives and investigators in the important cases must be rewarded in order to boost their morale.

Anyone who is behind the campaign of Khalistani back it fully!

After humiliation by desecrating the Akal Takht, a mass genocide, weakening of punjab, rape, torture, extrajudicial killings, distortion of Sikh history, infiltration by far right Hindu groups all executed and helped by the state- you refer to ppl who don't forget as being in the context of 'khalistani madness.'

If ppl really loved each other and Sikhs were respected as equals then none of this would have happened.

Things ain't changed in punjab, there ain't no mass murders now but there is still lots of undercover stuff which continues to go on to weaken the panth.

Ie.. many of these drug smugglers are the police themselves.

The struggle for Khalistan whether it is punjab or all of India has to continue if we really want Sikhi to flourish.

bhul chuk maaf
