CHANDIGARH: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Punjab Chief Spokesperson and MLA Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal on Tuesday raised serious questions over the so-called anti-drug yatra initiated by Punjab Governor Gulab Chand Kataria, saying that while the AAP government has been consistently leading the fight against drugs across the state, the Governor’s parallel yatra sends a deeply troubling message about who he is choosing to stand with.

AMRITSAR: In an intelligence-led operation amidst the ongoing drive to make Punjab a safe and secure state as per directions of Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann, State Special Operations Cell (SSOC) Amritsar has foiled a Pakistan’s ISI-backed terror plot with the arrest of one accused person and recovered an RDX-based Improvised Explosive Device (IED) from his possession, said Director General of Police (DGP) Punjab Gaurav Yadav here on Tuesday.

CHANDIGARH: Amidst the ongoing 'Gangstran Te Vaar' campaign to make Punjab a gangster free state as per directions of Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann, Punjab Police teams on Tuesday conducted 2706 raids at locations linked to wanted criminals on Day 2 of ‘Operation Prahaar-2’.

MOGA: Unidentified gangsters opened fire on a group of migrant labourers in Moga town of Punjab on Monday, leaving two workers from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar seriously injured in what appears to be a targeted attack. The incident has sparked fresh concerns over the deteriorating law and order situation in the state.

PHAGWARA: Despite the Punjab government launching Operation Prahar-2 to curb crime, recurring incidents of extortion and gun violence continue to instill fear across the state. While traders, sportspersons and youth are already living under a shadow of insecurity, the growing sense of lawlessness is now discouraging Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) from visiting Punjab.
