Police conduct special checking campaign to maintain peace, law & order situation

To maintain peace, law and order in the city, the Amritsar Commissionerate Police conducted a special police post and search operation across key locations, including the bus stand, the railway station and the entry and exit points of the city. The drive was carried out on the directions of Police Commissioner Gurpreet Singh Bhullar and was closely monitored by ADCPs, ACPs and station house officers.

Police teams, including anti-sabotage squads and sniffer dogs, carried out intensive checking at the bus stand and the railway station. Suspicious individuals were questioned and their identity verified. Marketplaces inside the walled city also saw the presence of a heavy police force to maintain public confidence and deter any unlawful activities.

Vehicles with black-tinted windows, pressure horns, sirens or unauthorised wide tyres were stopped and inspected. Challans were issued on the spot for traffic violations and violators were warned of stricter penalties, including vehicle impounding for future offences. Similarly, two-wheeler riders using modified silencers or driving without helmets were also fined.

To ease traffic congestion, wrongly parked vehicles obstructing roadways or parked outside designated lines were towed away. The police urged the public to cooperate by parking only at the authorised spots and supporting the traffic police in maintaining the smooth movement of vehicles. At the city bus stand, ACP (East) Dr Sheetal Singh, Inspector Baljinder Singh Aulakh, SHO A-Division and ASI Gurjinder Singh led a detailed checking operation with the local police and ARP teams. Passengers’ belongings were inspected and individuals loitering around without purpose were questioned after checking their IDs. Vehicles parked in the stand were also checked via the Vahan app to verify ownership.

Likewise, at the Amritsar railway station, Inspector Gurpreet Singh, SHO, Civil Lines, along with police teams and anti-sabotage squads conducted a thorough security checking with the help of sniffer dogs. The commissionerate police reaffirmed its commitment to safeguard public peace and security by ensuring rigorous enforcement of laws and constant vigilance.
