Police find pistol, bullets in bag near JNU gate

November 8, 2016

New Delhi, Nov 8: A bag containing a pistol and seven live cartridges was recovered from the main gate of JNU early on Monday. Police said the bag might have been kept by someone who was familiar with the campus as the gate was not under CCTV surveillance. A case under the Arms Act has been registered at Vasant Kunj (north) police station.

Deadpool Police suspect that the person panicked seeing cops raid the campus to search for BSc student Najeeb Ahmed and left the bag near the gate to avoid detection. The possibility of an attempt to spread panic on the campus has not been ruled out.

The matter came to the fore when a security guard noticed an abandoned bag at 1.30am near the main entrance. "He thought a student must have forgotten it and would come to collect it later," said a police officer.

"When no one came till late evening, the guard opened the bag and found a country-made 7.62mm pistol, seven live cartridges, a water bottle and a screwdriver. They informed the PCR and the administration staff," the officer added.

Police reached the spot and seized the bag, which they claimed was new. Teams from the anti-terror units and senior officials from the south district have taken matter seriously.

Meanwhile, the JNU administration has decided to install CCTV cameras in and around the campus.

"The presence of weapons inside the campus raises a grave concern about the safety and security of all residents. Taking serious note of such incidences, the administration is in the process of installing CCTV cameras at the gates, sensitive areas, and public places," a press note from the university said.

"This news reminds us of Amit Jani (a member of Hindutva brigade) who threatened to enter JNU and shoot Kanhaiya Kumar and Umar Khalid in March when a fight was on against the police crackdown on students. We demand a proper inquiry to find out who kept the bag at the gate," said JNU Student Union president, Mohit Pandey.

‘Reports about annulment of institutional quarantine for international passengers in Mangaluru are baseless’

coastaldigest.com news network

July 26,2020

Mangaluru, Jul 26: Rubbishing reports about cancellation of institutional quarantine for international passengers in Mangaluru, local health authorities have clarified that 14 day isolation including first seven day institutional quarantine must for international passengers.

For past couple of days rumours were doing rounds on social media that the government has done away with quarantine for international passengers. A few Mangaluru-based news portals also had published it as news without quoting any reliable sources.

Meanwhile, district health officer in his clarification message said that neither Karnataka government nor Dakshina Kannada district administrant has revised the quarantine norms for international passengers.

“Those who arrive from overseas must remain in isolation for 14 days. Out of this, seven days have to be spent in institutional quarantine (in hotel or lodge). During this period, the throat swab sample of the person will be sent for covid-19 testing. If the report is negative, then they will be sent to home quarantine for another seven days."

He said that concession in terms of number of days has only been given for people with other health conditions, children and the elderly. "For children below 10 years, pregnant women, elderly above the age of 60 years and other with other ailments, the throat swab will be collected on the second day of institutional quarantine. If the report turns negative, they will be sent to home quarantine for 14 days."
