YAMUNANAGAR: The Anti-Burglary Staff of Yamunanagar police have arrested three men in connection with a theft case and recovered stolen property from them. Police said a case was registered and the accused were produced before a court, which sent them to judicial custody. One of the accused has three previous theft cases pending before the court.

According to the police spokesperson, the action was taken under the guidance of Superintendent of Police Kamaldeep Goyal. Anti-Burglary Staff in-charge Raman Chandel said the team received confidential information that three men were roaming on Old Hamida Gadi Road, allegedly looking for an opportunity to commit theft.

Acting on the information, a team comprising ASI Surender Singh, Kuldeep, Dharamvir and Gaurav was formed. The team reached the spot and arrested the three suspects. They were identified as Mohammad Inam, a resident of Garhi Road in Old Hamida; Aamir, a resident of Atma Puri Colony; and Gulbahar, a resident of Chand Colony in Saharanpur district. Police said the accused allegedly used Gulbahar’s motorcycle to carry out the theft.

Chandel said a resident of Anand Colony, Old Hamida, had lodged a complaint on October 10. The complainant told police that he had purchased household items for a wedding ceremony at his home. On the night of October 10, the accused allegedly entered a locked house in Anand Colony and stole the items.

Police said the case has now been worked out and the stolen goods recovered. Aamir was already facing three theft cases, which are pending in court. The accused were sent to judicial custody after being produced before the court.

Superintendent of Police Kamaldeep Goyal, IPS, has appealed to drivers and citizens across the district to make road safety a priority and follow traffic rules sincerely. According to the police spokesperson, the SP said vehicle users are a key part of the road safety system and their responsibility extends beyond protecting themselves to safeguarding every person using the road.

Goyal stressed that drivers must observe speed limits, avoid using mobile phones while driving, never drive under the influence of intoxicants and refrain from dangerous overtaking. Even a moment of carelessness, he cautioned, can cause a serious crash and devastate a family.

The police advised two-wheeler riders and pillion passengers to wear quality helmets and occupants of four-wheelers to use seat belts. Drivers were urged to take extra care around pedestrians, cyclists, children, senior citizens and other vulnerable road users. Regular vehicle maintenance was also emphasised, including checks of brakes, tyres, headlights, tail lights and indicators.

Commercial and public transport operators were asked not to carry passengers or goods beyond vehicle capacity and to behave courteously with passengers. Auto-rickshaw and e-rickshaw drivers were specifically warned against stopping in the middle of the road to pick up or drop off passengers.

The SP said safe traffic management is a shared civic responsibility, not the duty of the police and administration alone. He appealed to residents to follow the rules themselves and encourage others to do the same, adding that legal action would be taken against violators.

A havan was organised at DAV Police Public School, Jagadhri, as part of Prerna Week being observed in schools associated with Arya Yuva Samaj. The programme is being held under the aegis of Arya Pradeshik Pratinidhi Up Sabha Haryana and Arya Yuva Samaj Haryana from October 15, the birth anniversary of Mahatma Anand Swami, to October 24.

Activities planned across DAV schools during the period include bhajans, music gatherings, morning processions, speeches, poetry, street plays and rallies against substance abuse. At the Jagadhri school, manager Dr Sushma Arya attended the havan as the chief guest.

Acting principal Sardar Hoshiar Singh welcomed Dr Arya by presenting a plant as a memento. The principal, teachers and students offered oblations during the havan and prayed for the well-being of all. Music teacher Vikas Mehra presented a devotional bhajan.

Dr Sushma Arya said Mahatma Anand Swami’s life remained a source of inspiration. She said his selfless work for public welfare and national progress would always be remembered with respect.

Acting principal Hoshiar Singh thanked Arya Pradeshik Pratinidhi Up Sabha for organising Prerna Week, saying it gave students an opportunity to learn about Vedic knowledge, Arya Samaj teachings and Mahatma Anand Swami’s life, and encouraged them to follow a positive path. He also thanked Dr Arya for attending the ceremony and sharing important teachings of Arya Samaj with students. He added that alongside academic learning, moral and religious education could help shape students’ character and encourage them to become responsible human beings.

The district police’s Safe City team held an awareness programme for students at Government Senior Secondary School, Antawa, under the guidance of Superintendent of Police Kamaldeep Goyal. Police spokesperson said the initiative is part of ongoing efforts to educate the public, especially schoolchildren, about personal safety and crime prevention.

ASI Neelam explained the difference between good touch and bad touch in simple terms. She advised students that if anyone behaves inappropriately with them, they should tell their parents, teachers or another trusted adult without fear or hesitation. Students were also informed that they can call police emergency helpline 112 for assistance in an emergency.

The session also addressed cybercrime and safe internet use. Students were advised not to share personal information with strangers online, to avoid clicking suspicious links and to remain alert to online fraud and cyber scams. Police urged anyone who experiences cybercrime to report it promptly so that appropriate action can be taken in time.

Discussing the harmful effects of substance abuse, ASI Neelam said drugs can damage health and adversely affect a person’s future, family and society. Students were encouraged to stay away from intoxicants and spread awareness among friends and family members.

Students asked questions on several topics, which were answered during the programme. Police appealed to them to obey the law, remain alert and inform authorities about suspicious activities. The district police said such awareness sessions would continue to strengthen safety awareness and understanding of the law among children and young people.
