Ludhiana: Thieves make off with tyres from three parked cars
A gang of car-borne burglars struck Upkar Nagar and Kundanpuri areas in the early hours of Thursday, stealing all four tyres from three parked vehicles and leaving them propped up on bricks. The incident has raised serious concerns about security in residential areas. Thieves walked off with all four tyres of the car and placed the vehicle on bricks in Upkar Nagar on Wednesday. (HT Photo) The incident came to light around 4 am when Ramesh Bansal, a resident of Upkar Nagar, received a call from his neighbour, informing him that the tyres of his Hyundai Creta had been stolen. Bansal was shocked to find his vehicle kept on bricks with all four wheels gone. Soon after, Bansal discovered that two other vehicles in the vicinity — one in Upkar Nagar and another in nearby Kundanpuri — had met the same fate. 'It was alarming to see that these miscreants operated so swiftly and confidently, targeting multiple vehicles within a short span,' said Bansal. The affected residents immediately alerted the police. Footage retrieved from CCTV cameras installed in the locality revealed that three unidentified men arrived in a car around 2.30 am. The video shows them removing the tyres and loading them into their vehicle before speeding away. However, according to the police, poor visibility due to darkness and rainfall made it difficult to identify the registration number of the vehicle. Sub-inspector Amarjeet Singh, SHO at Division Number 8 police station, confirmed that an investigation is underway. 'We are scanning CCTV footage from surrounding areas to trace the route and identity of the accused,' he said, adding that statements from all affected vehicle owners have been recorded and an FIR will be lodged accordingly. Residents expressed growing frustration, stating that such thefts have become frequent in the area. 'Last week, battery thefts were reported from several parked vehicles, and no action has been taken so far,' a local said, demanding increased night patrolling and swift arrests.

Mohalla clinic doctors meet Delhi assembly speaker over job termination concerns
New Delhi, Jul 31 (PTI) A delegation of doctors from Mohalla Clinics here met Delhi Legislative Assembly Speaker Vijender Gupta to seek his intervention and support against the mass termination of staff under the new recruitment policy of the Ayushman Arogya Mandir project, an official statement said. In a meeting held earlier this week, the delegation presented the concerns of more than 500 doctors and 1,500 staff members currently working in Mohalla clinics under the Delhi State Health Mission (DSHM), it added. The doctors expressed concern over the government's lack of a documented policy to safeguard existing staff, despite earlier assurances from the chief minister and health minister that no jobs would be affected under the transition to the Ayushman Bharat scheme. They further said that changes in the selection criteria, particularly the introduction of age limitations, could result in the disqualification of more than 50 per cent of the currently serving medical staff. They emphasised that many employees — including pharmacists, nurses and multi-task workers — had been recruited on merit through a written examination conducted by the Delhi government in 2018. 'There is an acute shortage of doctors in the current system. Clinics are forced to shut down when staff go on short or long leave, as there is no replacement available," Doctor Ramesh Bansal, the delegation's spokesperson, said. 'We welcome the upgradation of facilities and the rebranding as Ayushman Arogya Mandirs, but it should not come at the cost of our employment," he added. The speaker was handed documents detailing the current recruitment and scoring system, along with past communications with the Delhi government. The doctors insisted that none of the staff were appointed through political connections or unfair means. According to the delegation, Speaker Gupta assured them of his full support and said he would take up the matter with the chief minister, health minister and other relevant officials. He also informed the doctors that a final decision regarding recruitment under the Ayushman Arogya Mandir project is yet to be taken, it said.
