Early Times Report
POONCH, July 30: With only a day left in his service, outgoing CDPO Mendhar has came under serious allegations from the residents over setup of a new Anganwadi centres in the tehsil of district Poonch.
The residents accused the Child Development Project Officer (CDPO) Mendhar along with Programme Officer (PO) Poonch of nepotism and corruption while framing of list for the new centres in the tehsil.
Locals said that the advertisement for the establishment of nine new Anganwadi centres was made public in 2015. Why is that they woke up after four years and more importantly on the last day of CDPO service?
All the centres have been either allotted to blue-eyed people or to people from whom huge amounts have been taken, they said.
The locals said that a delegation had even met Deputy Commissioner Poonch Rahul Yadav for his intervention. "We brought the issue into the notice of Deputy Commissioner who had then directed that no nutrition be delivered to any of the centres, but even after express directions from his office the CDPO still delivered the ration", they said.
While a superannuation party was going on in the office of CDPO alongside other officials, the people hoisted black flags as a mark of protest against the outgoing official.
Meanwhile the protestors have urged Governer-led administration to look into the matter. We appeal Governer Satya Pal Malik to take the issue into consideration and launch an enquiry to deliver justice.
To curb gun-snatching incidents, J&K police to procure weapon safety systems Jammu
Concerned over a spurt in incidents of weapon-snatching by militants, the Jammu and Kashmir Police will procure 4,000 weapon safety systems known as Smart Electronic Trigger Lock Weapon Tracking System (SETLWTS) to deal with the menace.
According to reports, more than 200 weapons, including AK-47s, self-loading rifles (SLRs) and INSAS rifles, besides a large number of ammunition were snatched by the militants in the State during the past three years.
The State police recently floated tenders for purchasing the 4,000 Weapon Safety System vehicles to ensure the safety of its arms and ammunition.
"Tenders have been invited from manufacturers or their authorised dealers for the supply of Weapon Safety Systems (WSSs)-smart electronic trigger lock weapon tracking system (SETLWTS)," Assistant Inspector General (AIG) of Police Mubassir Latifi said.
According to the specification, the WSSs must have trigger-based locking units with GPS trackers so that they cannot be misused and can be speedily traced, he said.
Such devices should also be compatible with fire arms and could be removed only by the biometrics of authorised users. Any forcible removal will damage the whole trigger mechanism system.
The system also carries finger and palm print scanners fitted in the grip to operate trigger locks, the police official said.
Blaming overindulgence in use of smartphones by police personnel for the spike in gun-snatching incidents in the Kashmir Valley, the police had last year banned the use of such gadgets by its sentries during duty time.
The order, issued by Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) A.K. Choudhary, had said the tendency not only lowers the image of the police, but also compromises the personal security of individuals.
The incidents of weapon-snatching have increased in the Kashmir Valley, especially south Kashmir, after the killing of Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani in July 2016, officials said.
As militant recruitment increased in 2017 and 2018, reports suggest that there is a shortfall of weaponry among the militant ranks, they said.
As many as 36 SLRs, 58 SLR magazines and 1,000 SLR rounds, besides eight AK47s, 15 of its magazines and 283 rounds, were looted from security forces from May 2016 to December 31, 2016, according to an estimate prepared by the security agencies.
Also, 39 INSAS rifles, 119 INSAS magazines, 380 INSAS bullet rounds, four carbines, 70 carbine rounds, one .303 rifle and one LMG were snatched by the militants during the period. |
