Will keep the vigil up: Docs mark anniv at RG Kar, outside
1 2 Kolkata: It was on the same night a year ago when a mob stormed into the RG Kar campus when the city was observing 'Reclaim the Night', demanding "justice" for the trainee doctor. While the campus has gradually picked up pieces to start afresh, the unprovoked mob attack continues to haunt doctors, nurses and health workers on the campus. As organisations replayed another 'Reclaim the Night' on Thursday, the RG Kar campus saw an increase in security to prevent a repeat of the mob running amok in the hospital. Doctors and many civil society organisations said they would keep the vigil up until they are satisfied that "justice" has been done to the rape-murder victim. Many junior doctors took part in the 'Reclaim the Night' on Thursday as a gesture of protest against the vandalism and the rape-murder. "'Reclaim the Night' was aimed at demanding justice for Abhaya and ensuring women's safety. We need to keep the vigil up against such heinous crimes and also the mob attack to silence the protest," said a junior doctor.

Their presence has kept the campus free of any violence for a year now. Since Aug 9, 2024, security has been increased on the campus. "The night of the mob attack continues to haunt me when doctors, nurses, other healthcare workers, along with patients, had to flee for their lives from the emergency department. Presence of CISF has made the campus trouble-free now," said an emergency medical officer. On Thursday, senior doctor organisations like Service Doctors' Forum, Medical Service Centre, and Nurses Unity, along with various civil society organisations, held a convention at Yuba Kendra Moulali, pledging to keep the vigil up by setting up an organisation — 'Voice of Abhaya, Voice of Women'. Other senior doctor bodies like Joint Platform of Doctors, which is a part of 'Abhaya Mancha', took part in the 'Reclaim the Night', where representatives of West Bengal Junior Doctors' Front also participated.

Fake passport and live cartridge land 2 flyers in police custody in UP
LUCKNOW: Two passengers were detained in separate incidents at Chaudhary Charan Singh International Airport, triggering serious security concerns just days before heightened travel activity. In the first case, Vinod Kumar Yadav, a resident of Bhagwan Majha village, Deoria district, was caught traveling with a passport issued on forged documents. His original date of birth, listed as February 24, 1987 on an older passport, had been altered to May 9, 1973 in the new one using fake paperwork. The discrepancy was flagged during routine verification by immigration officials, and he was immediately handed over to Sarojininagar Police by CISF . 'An FIR has been registered, and further investigation is underway to determine the motive behind the forgery,' said an official source of Airport police outpost. In the second incident, a major alert was raised when a 7.65 bore cartridge was found in the baggage of Badarujama, a Kanpur resident, during security screening. He was preparing to board Oman Airlines flight WY 266 to Muscat when the cartridge was discovered inside his luggage. The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) questioned him on the spot, and upon failing to produce a valid firearm license, he too was handed over to the police.

'All Because Of The Boss': CISF Jawans Forced To Give Guard Of Honour Against Rules
Last Updated: According to News18 Hindi, CISF Headquarters sent the BPR&D manual instructing strict adherence to rules, but Guard of Honour is still given to unauthorised individuals A recent controversy has emerged within the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) regarding the adherence to the Bureau of Police Research and Development (BPR&D) manual for the provision of a Guard of Honour. According to a News18 Hindi report, earlier in July, the Union Home Secretary attended a CRPF function as the chief guest but was not given a Guard of Honour, in line with BPR&D guidelines, which do not permit such honours for his position. In contrast, a similar situation unfolded within the CISF when the General Manager (GM) of a plant was scheduled to join. Despite the plant management's request for a Guard of Honour, the unit commander reportedly refused, citing BPR&D rules. According to News18 Hindi, some officers of the plant approached the Deputy Inspector General (DIG) concerned. When the DIG made a recommendation call to the unit commander, he cited the BPR&D rules. The DIG agreed and also expressed his inability to grant a Guard of Honour to the GM. Following this, the plant officers reportedly approached the Inspector General (IG). When the unit commander received a recommendation call from the IG, he again referred to the BPR&D rules. However, unlike the DIG, the IG did not agree. This practice is reported to occur not only on the arrival and departure of the GM but also on Republic Day and other events organised in the plant. The CISF unit commander is reportedly forced to carry out the Guard of Honour unwillingly under the directions of senior officers. Speaking to News18 Hindi on the condition of anonymity, an officer said the Guard of Honour is carried out solely to please the plant management and ensure their minor wishes are fulfilled. He said that if this practice stops, the management may get upset, and their requests could go unheeded. The officer added that the CISF headquarters is aware of this practice and had even issued an order in 2024 to stop it. CISF Orders Strict Adherence To Guard of Honour Rules News18 Hindi reported that an order issued by the CISF Training Branch on May 30, 2024 noted that during a visit to a CISF unit, the Director General found inconsistencies in the way the Guard of Honour was being conducted. While some units followed the BPR&D guidelines, others did not. According to News18 Hindi, the CISF Headquarters had sent the BPR&D manual to all units along with the order, instructing that the Guard of Honour be conducted strictly as per the guidelines. However, reports indicate that this directive has largely been ignored, and Guards of Honour are still being given to unauthorised individuals. The latest instance reportedly occurred in April, when a Guard of Honour was given to a corporation chairman during his assumption of charge. According to CISF officials, giving Guards of Honour to unauthorised persons has become a serious concern, making it difficult for personnel to maintain decorum. Speaking to News18 Hindi, an official said that with Independence Day on August 15, preparations for Guard of Honour are already underway in most units, forcing them once again to honour unauthorised individuals. Who Can Be Given The Guard Of Honour? According to BPR&D rules, the Guard of Honour can be given only to the President, Vice-President, Prime Minister, Union Home Minister, Union Minister of State for Home, Governor, Chief Minister, state Home Ministers, Director General of Police, Additional Director General of Police, Inspector General, and Deputy Inspector General. Additionally, the rules allow the Guard of Honour to be presented to the Head of a Foreign State, Vice Head of a Foreign State, Head of a Diplomatic Mission, and Head of a Foreign Police Force.
