Rajya Sabha MP Sanajaoba Leishemba constituted a high-level meeting of five Committee members to critically examine and study the drones deployed by militants after unarmed Koutruk villagers were attacked using drones, bombs and sophisticated weapons on Sunday reportedly by the Kuki militants.
Uttarakhand's Director General of Police (DGP), Abhinav Kumar, has decided to develop a detailed action plan to prevent crimes against women in the state and ensure more effective action against such offences.
The rights body asked the respondents to submit a detailed report in the matter within two weeks.
Rajeev Kumar, the state DGP, who officially assumed charge today after being reinstated on Monday, said there is “zero tolerance” on cases of lynching and advised people to observe Muharram peacefully, stressing on utmost care against using any provocation that could mar the traditional fervour of these festivals and cause disharmony in the society.
The Uttar Pradesh government has issued an advisory forbidding the display of weapons during Kanwar Yatras.
Now, a selection of the state DGP will be done by a committee headed by a retired chief justice or a judge of the Punjab and Haryana High Court.
Besides being the acting DGP, Kumar will also hold the additional charge of DG Vigilance, DG CBCID. The tenure of the new acting DGP will be up to January, 2024.
The state Police Department has fixed a budget of Rs 20/30 for lunch and dinner of persons lodged in lockup at police stations.
After visiting the site of the blasts, the DGP said the triggering mechanism or detonator was not found which means it was a crudely-assembled low-intensity explosive device.
Dilbag Singh claimed that the grenades and cash were collected by an over ground worker (OGW) Nisar Ahmad and his family members.
