Operation Sabak: Cops ‘set a thief to catch a thief' to combat crime
Prayagraj: The police in Sangam city appear to be adopting the approach of "set a thief to catch a thief" to build an informant network against lawbreakers, leveraging former offenders to gather intelligence on criminal activities.. In a surprising move, 44 history-sheeters from the Kotwali police circle, aged 28-72, visited three police stations and pledged to abstain from criminal activities and spy on those involved in crime in their areas. This initiative, part of Operation Sabak , aims to bring these individuals into the mainstream and reduce crime. The police plan to summon over 530 listed history-sheeters to take an oath to refrain from crime and support law enforcement, potentially tightening the noose around criminal gangs. ACP (Kotwali) Manoj Kumar Singh told TOI, "A fortnight drive has been launched across the district to check the current whereabouts of history-sheeters and their activities. Under operation Sabak, cops are making efforts to bring these history-sheeters back into the mainstream by making them take a pledge that they would never involve themselves in criminal activities in future." He said, "Operation Sabak is aimed to give a fresh chance to hardened criminals or history-sheeters to learn a lesson from their past and opt for a normal life. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trade Bitcoin & Ethereum – No Wallet Needed!

The ACP said that these history-sheeters were not only asked to mark their attendance at the police station concerned whenever they are summoned, but also to take fresh steps to lead a good life with their family members at home. The police compiled records of history-sheeters from 14 stations and directed them to visit police stations, pledge to quit crime, and assist in identifying troublemakers.

Mon Medical Center hosts flag raising ceremony for Donate Life Month
MORGANTOWN, (WBOY) — To mark National Donate Life Month, Vandalia Health's Mon Medical Center hosted a flag-raising ceremony on Thursday. National Donate Life Month was established in 2003 to increase awareness of the need for organ donors and to encourage Americans to register. In attendance were employees of Vandalia Health and the Center for Organ Recovery and Education, which helps facilitate the recovery of organs and matching of donors to recipients. Also in attendance was one Morgantown man, who told the story of his life-saving heart transplant in 2016. In 2000, Greg Sabak was diagnosed at Mon General with Cardiomyopathy and early-stage heart failure at the age of 39. He became symptomatic in 2005, giving up many activities enjoyed over the years and having to retire from his career as a pharmacist over the next nine years.

Clarksburg animal rescue says think twice In 2014, Sabak was diagnosed with end-stage heart failure, making a heart transplant the only viable treatment option. In 2016, he was matched with a donor and received a new heart. Since then, he's gotten to celebrate birthdays, resume his hobbies of bowling and traveling, and watch his son graduate from high school and get married. 'My donation, it gave my life back. It allowed me to do things that I enjoyed prior to finding out that I had a heart condition,' Sabak said. He added that he hopes that by telling his story, he shares his gratitude to registered organ donors and gets the public at large to consider registering.

'Unjust!' Mosul families rage at General Amnesty Law block
Shafaq News/ On Wednesday, families of detainees protested in Mosul's al-Faysaliyah area against the Federal Supreme Court's decision to suspend the implementation of the General Amnesty Law. The demonstrators condemned the ruling as 'unjust' and a blow to their long-awaited hopes for their relatives' release. 'This decision is unfair to innocent people,' one protester told Shafaq News. 'We were eagerly awaiting the law's implementation, only to be shocked by its sudden suspension.' Another lamented that the ruling deepened their suffering and shattered their trust in the justice system. Among those attending the protest was MP Jamil Abdul-Sabak, who denounced the court's decision, calling it a major 'setback' to justice and reconciliation efforts. 'This suspension represents a retreat from reform,' Sabak stated, urging authorities to reconsider their stance to ensure fair legal treatment for those eligible under the law. Escalating Political Backlash The Federal Supreme Court's ruling not only halted the General Amnesty Law but also suspended laws related to Personal Status amendments and Property Restitution in Kirkuk. The move triggered a political firestorm, drawing sharp criticism from several key Sunni leaders, including Mohammed al-Halbousi, Former Speaker of Parliament; Khamis al-Khanjar, Leader of the Sovereignty Alliance; Jamal al-Dhari, and Secretary-General of the Iraqi National Project. These leaders accused the court of political interference, arguing that the ruling was driven by partisan interests rather than legal considerations. In response, local governments in Nineveh, Al-Anbar, and Saladin declared Wednesday a public holiday, suspending government offices in protest against the decision. Conversely, the Coordination Framework—a coalition of Shiite political factions—defended the ruling, describing the suspended laws as 'controversial' and claiming they were passed improperly in Parliament. They cited procedural flaws and insisted that the judiciary was safeguarding constitutional integrity rather than engaging in political obstruction.
