At redressal meetings, police tackle civic and family issues
Property disputes, family disputes, money transfers in good faith, encroachment on properties, parking issues, and blocking access by neighbour were some of the issues raised by the public with senior police officers at the Public Grievances Redressal meetings.
A total of 25 petitions were submitted, and 100 people attended the meetings at various police stations. 'The complainants were assured of speedy redressal of their grievances,' SP (North) Rahul Gupta said.
Gupta said that not caring for senior citizens, property disputes, traffic issues and civil disputes were some of the issues discussed at the meeting.
Those who filed complaints and saw no action initiated by police attended the meeting.
A deputy superintendent of police (DySP) heard the grievances and directed police to take necessary action to resolve the issues.
During the meeting, some people said they gave money in good faith to a person who is now unwilling to return it despite repeated requests. Police told those who borrowed the money to return it to the complainant.
In some cases, people raised issues of hardships due to road access being denied.

Police directed parties not to block road access and cause inconvenience to the public, and they agreed to the suggestions made by police.
In some matters, families approached police to resolve their family property disputes. Police saw a case wherein one brother feared he might not receive any share in the property as his parents favoured the other brother. Some people raised concerns about encroachments on their properties.
On June 21, Gupta will be available at Bicholim police station, SDPO Panaji at Agasaim, SDPO Mapusa at Anjuna, and SDPO Pernem at Mopa.
On June 28, he will be available at Colvale, SDPO Porvorim at Saligao, and SDPO Mapusa at Valpoi police station.
'The SDPOs are instructed to hear the grievances and make all possible efforts to resolve issues by giving timely solutions/justice. The SDPOs will maintain a record of visitors attended by them and follow up on the action suggested or directions issued,' the SP said.
Additionally, PIs of police stations will be mandatorily available in the police station from 4pm to 6pm every day to redress public grievances.
On April 22, Goa police launched 'Samadhan' — aimed to become the ear of the public and help them find an appropriate solution for their grievances, but after some time, it was stopped. Across the state, people were invited to the police stations to discuss their issues with the SDPOs.
During the launch of Samadhan, police said it came to their notice that people were unable to meet the SPs and DySPs, so they were approaching the DGP to get their issues resolved.

Honour killing horror in UP: Teen beheaded for 'disgracing' family; father, stepmother, step-grandfather held
AGRA: A 19-year-old woman from Aligarh was allegedly killed and beheaded by her father, stepmother, and step-grandfather in Hathras for what police describe as an " honour killing " on suspicion of "disgracing" the family. The three accused were arrested on Wednesday. Hathras SP Chiranjeev Natha Singh said, "On Aug 10, residents of Bahradoi village in Sadabad police limits discovered a sack containing a headless body in a canal. The head was recovered shortly afterwards." Initial identification was not possible, prompting police to form five teams to track the victim's identity. Photographs of the victim's clothing were circulated on social media and via community policing networks. A breakthrough came when a woman recognised the stitching on the lower garment as her own work for a missing girl from Adhauna village in Aligarh's Akrabad area. The victim was identified as Tamanna, daughter of Hasrat Ali (40). Police said Ali married Firdos in 2005 and had two daughters - Tamanna and Nisha (16). Dissatisfied with having only daughters, he separated from Firdos six years ago but kept the girls with him. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Secure Your Child's Future with Strong English Fluency Planet Spark Learn More Undo He later married Rani (38), daughter of Rajjo Pehalwan (60) of Hathras. Investigations revealed that in July, Tamanna had left home with a man, a resident of the same village, but returned two days later. This angered Ali and Rani, who scolded and beat her. On Aug 8, she left again but was intercepted by Ali and Rani near Panaithi bridge. Believing she was "defaming" the family, Ali allegedly discussed the matter with his father-in-law, Rajjo, who advised "dealing with it" immediately. That night, the couple took Tamanna to Rajjo's house in Alhaipur on a motorcycle. There, the three allegedly laced her food with intoxicants, strangled her when she became unconscious, and took her to the canal. Police say Ali then severed her head and inflicted multiple injuries on the body to hinder identification, while the others held her down. Her clothes were also deliberately disturbed to mislead investigators. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).

BLA labelled foreign terrorist org as Trump plans to develop Pakistan's 'huge oil reserves'
Despite being designated as Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT) in 2019, the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) surprisingly evaded being labelled as a Foreign Terrorist Organisation (FTO) until now. However, the US state department's sudden interest in the rebel group, particularly its subsidiary Majeed Brigade, has raised eyebrows and sparked curiosity about possible motivations. The development comes close on the heels of US President Donald Trump announcing his plans to develop 'massive oil reserves' with Pakistan. The announcement attracted a response from Baloch leader Mir Yar Baloch, who said that reserves of oil, natural gas, copper, lithium, uranium and rare earths were not located in actual Pakistan and belonged to "Republic of Balochistan". Baloch wrote an open letter to Trump warning him that he was misled about "massive oil reserves" in Pakistan by army chief Asim Munir. The visits to Pakistan by Gentry Beach, a close college friend of President Trump's son Donald Trump Jr, have also piqued curiosity, with the latter seeing a potential to cut deals worth billions of dollars in explorations of rare earth minerals, oil and gas, and real estate. A recent deal that Pakistan negotiated with World Liberty Financial (WLF), a cryptocurrency venture in which the Trump family has a 60% stake, has also fuelled speculation. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like These Are The Most Beautiful Women In The World Undo Though it had its roots founded in the 70s, the Majeed Brigade was a little-known entity until a decade ago. The brigade comprises fidayeen (suicide bombers) who have been fighting the Pakistan-China collaboration opposed to its freedom struggle. "It was in the 1970s that Abdul Majeed Baloch carried out a failed assassination bid on Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, the former Pakistan PM who dismissed the National Awami Party's govt in Balochistan," recalled a source. However, it was in 2010-11 that the brigade was formally constituted in the memory of Abdul Majeed. Since then, the brigade has carried out numerous suicide attacks against Pakistani security forces and Chinese nationals working for China-Pakistan Economic Corridor projects in Balochistan and Sindh. The attacks have intensified since 2018. Their most lethal hit was on the Jaffar Express, in which BLA claimed it eliminated 214 Pak military personnel.

Rajasthan high court order disappointing, but won't lose cool this time: Supreme Court's Pardiwala bench
NEW DELHI: A bench headed by Justice J B Pardiwala, which had recently passed scathing remarks against a Allahabad high court judge for allowing criminal proceedings in a civil matter, was a portrait of restraint when it found itself dealing with a similar case on Wednesday. "This time I am not going to lose my cool," Justice Pardiwala said at the outset with a smile on his face. The case before it, in which an FIR was filed against a couple for not paying their dues to a seller, who lodged a complaint for recovery of the money, had been adjudicated by the Rajasthan high court . Granting anticipatory bail to the couple, the court said that litigants were forced to move the apex court for relief because proper law was not being applied by lower courts and high courts, which leads to unnecessary litigation and harassment of litigants. In this case, the couple had purchased plywood from a seller and paid Rs 3 lakh but then allegedly refused to pay the balance amount of Rs 12 lakh, making the seller file a case against them. tnn SC: A little application of mind by HCs will curb such litigation The bench held that the problem of not following well-settled law was prevalent across the country and said a little application of mind by HCs would go a long way in curbing such litigation. Appearing against the couple, state govt questioned their conduct, as they had been on the run. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Indonesia: Unsold Sofas at Bargain Prices (Prices May Surprise You) Sofas | Search Ads Search Now Undo The bench, however, said this could be because of the fear of police. The bench also disapproved of the stand of the public prosecutor before the HC, contending that it would not be possible to recover the money if bail was granted to the couple. "According to the state, police machinery is required to be involved in the recovery of money. Why do you want police to be involved for recovery of money - to squeeze the remaining amount for the seller?" it asked the advocate appearing for the state.
