Notices pasted on homes of 28 fugitives directing appearance before courts, cops
Berhampur: Police in Ganjam district on Saturday served proclamation orders against 28 accused in various cases who are on the run for a long period despite warrants issued against them by courts. Police personnel pasted the notices on the gates of the residences of the offenders. As per the notices, the warrantees were asked to appear before the respective courts or before police within 30 days. If they failed to do so, steps would be taken to attach their movable and immovable properties, police said. SP (Ganjam) Suvendu Patra on Sunday said the proclamation proceedings under Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) are being conducted in all police stations in order to ensure the presence of fugitives before courts. "If they fail to appear within the mentioned timeframe, they will face serious consequences, including attachment of properties," he said. "This process would expedite the speed of pending trials and increase public confidence in the criminal justice system" he said. Some years ago, police had adopted the process, which yielded good results with executing long-pending warrants. He said proclamation orders have been issued to 28 people in 11 different police stations. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Find the Best Help Desk Software [Explore] Help Desk Software | search Ads Search Now Undo The highest orders were issued by Gangapur police (5) followed by Bhanjanagar (4), Polasara and Buguda (three each).

The accused was identified as Sibaram Nayak, a resident of Sana Tulasipalli, he said. A police team found he was at home when they went to put up the proclamation order and immediately arrested him.

Stage is set for counting of votes in Ludhiana West bypoll on Monday.
Ludhiana: Security has been tightened, the strong room sealed, and the counting staff finalised as Ludhiana West braces for a high-stakes byelection result on Monday that could have far-reaching implications for Punjab's political landscape. The bypoll was triggered by the death of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) legislator Gurpreet Bassi Gogi in Jan. The constituency will see a fierce contest among 14 candidates, including AAP's Rajya Sabha MP Sanjeev Arora, Congress veteran Bharat Bhushan Ashu, Bharatiya Janata Party's Jeewan Gupta, and Shiromani Akali Dal's Parupkar Singh Ghuman. Voting on June 19 recorded a turnout of just 51.33%. Counting is scheduled to begin at 8 am at Khalsa College for Women in Ghumar Mandi and is expected to conclude by early afternoon, election officials have said. Results are likely between noon and 1 pm. Security & Counting Setup Returning officer R P Singh confirmed that 14 counting tables, along with one for postal and electronically transmitted postal ballots, have been arranged. Each table will have a dedicated team comprising a supervisor, assistant, micro-observer, and helper. To ensure transparency and security, a three-tier system has been enforced at the counting centre: local police in the outer layer, state armed police in the middle, and paramilitary forces inside. EVMs (electronic voting machines) are stored under 24-hour CCTV surveillance. Entry to the counting hall will be restricted to authorised candidates and their designated agents. General observer Rajeev Kumar and district election officer Himanshu Jain conducted final inspections on Sunday and confirmed the arrangements. The duo also oversaw the second randomisation of 72 counting staff — comprising 24 supervisors, 24 assistants, and 24 micro-observers — to prevent procedural bias. A final round of randomisation will occur on Monday morning before counting begins. Dry day for 3 km To maintain public order during counting, district magistrate Himanshu Jain has declared June 23 a dry day under the Punjab Excise Act and Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023. All liquor outlets, hotels, clubs, and bars in Ludhiana West and within a 3-km radius are barred from storing or selling alcohol for the day. Jain has directed strict compliance from all relevant authorities. He also reaffirmed that all electronic voting and VVPAT machines are under constant watch and guarded by paramilitary personnel. Battle history Ludhiana West has witnessed dramatic electoral swings over the years, with Congress holding the seat for much of the past two decades until losing it to AAP in 2022. With the political stakes sky-high and security tight, Ludhiana West's by-election is poised to offer not just a new MLA, but a glimpse into the evolving mood of Punjab's electorate.
