PO Staff Arrest Two Proclaimed Offenders
The Yamunanagar Police have arrested two proclaimed offenders as part of a special drive against absconding accused and bail jumpers. Acting on the directions of Superintendent of Police Kamaldeep Goyal, a team of the Proclaimed Offenders (PO) Staff apprehended the two men and produced them before the court for further legal proceedings. They were subsequently sent to judicial custody.
A special team was constituted under the leadership of Inspector Jagbir Singh, in-charge of the PO Staff. The team included ASI Ashwini, Head Constables Sandeep, Mahavir and Rajat, and Woman Constable Bharti. Acting on a tip-off, the team arrested Pradeep alias Sukha, son of Deep Chand, a resident of Gandhi Nagar, and Harsh alias Tiny, son of Ashok Kumar, a resident of Professor Colony.
Police said the accused were involved in a criminal case and had been declared proclaimed offenders by the court after failing to appear during the proceedings. They had been evading arrest, but were traced and apprehended through the team’s alertness and coordinated efforts. The SP appreciated the team’s work and said the campaign against offenders would continue firmly to strengthen law and order in the district.
Two court-declared proclaimed offenders — Pradeep alias Sukha of Gandhi Nagar and Harsh alias Tiny of Professor Colony — have been arrested by the PO Staff.
Kapal Mochan Mela: Traffic Police Announce Route Diversions
The state-level Kapal Mochan Mela, a major religious and historical event, will be held from November 20 to 24, 2026. With lakhs of devotees expected to arrive from Haryana, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh and other states, the Yamunanagar Traffic Police have issued a special route plan to facilitate smooth movement and ensure public convenience. Alternative routes have been specified particularly for devotees travelling from Pehowa, Kurukshetra and Karnal.
Police said road construction is underway on the Jorian-to-Alipur stretch up to the Kurukshetra border in Yamunanagar district. The road will remain completely closed to both heavy and light vehicles. To avoid inconvenience to mela visitors, the traffic police have designated alternative routes.
Traffic Station In-charge Sandeep Kumar said devotees coming from Pehowa, Kurukshetra and Karnal can reach the mela site via Pipli, Shahabad, Ugala, Adhoya Chowk and Thana Chhapar. He urged drivers to use only the designated route and follow the instructions of traffic personnel.
Pipli → Shahabad → Ugala → Adhoya Chowk → Thana Chhapar → Mela Site
Two Alternative Routes for the Return Journey
For devotees returning towards Karnal and Kurukshetra, two alternative routes have been identified. Under the first route, vehicles can proceed from Shahidpur Chowk via Jathlana to Triveni Chowk in Radaur.
The second route will take commuters through Kareda, Alahar, Kartarpur and Pallewala before reaching Triveni Chowk in Radaur. These routes will enable motorists to avoid the closed stretch and continue towards their destinations.
Route 1: Shahidpur Chowk → Jathlana → Triveni Chowk, Radaur
Route 2: Kareda → Alahar → Kartarpur → Pallewala → Triveni Chowk, Radaur
The district police have appealed to devotees to follow the route plan while travelling to and from the mela, avoid the closed road and cooperate with traffic personnel. The police said the objective is to ensure safe, smooth and orderly movement throughout the event. Visitors will be informed from time to time if any further changes or updates are issued regarding the routes.
Yamunanagar Police have announced three key updates: promotions for three personnel, the arrest of two proclaimed offenders, and traffic diversions for the Kapal Mochan Mela scheduled from November 20 to 24, 2026. Devotees have been advised to follow the designated routes and police instructions.
