After huge traffic jams, Gurgaon police gear up to prevent recurrenceGurgaon : Gurgaon Police has stationed inspector-rank officers round-the-clock at 14 crucial points on important roads to prevent the kind of massive traffic jams that paralysed the city on Thursday and Friday, said Commissioner Navdeep Singh Virk.

“Fourteen crucial points have been chosen mainly on the NH8 (Delhi-Jaipur) and NH248 (Gurgaon-Alwar) and forces deployed 24×7 for the same,” Virk said here on Saturday.

“At each point inspector-rank officers have been deployed along with police personnel as per requirement of each spot,” he said.

Virk said the police officers and other personnel will work in two shifts: from 8a.m. to 8p.m. and then the 12-hour night shift.

“These duties will continue till further orders,” he said.

The crucial points include Hero Honda Chowk, Rajiv Chowk, Jharsa Chowk, Signature Tower Chowk, IFFCO Chowk, Shankar Chowk, Subhash Chowk, Golf Course Extension Road intersection on Sohna Road, Main Chowk in Sohna, Maharana Pratap Chowk.

The other four points are NH248 , IMT Manesar Chowk, HUDA City Center Station and its vicinity and Sector 31 redlight signal and its vicinity.

Gurgaon Police and other authorities were strongly criticised after heavy rain and water-logging led to the worst-ever traffic jams in the city from Thursday evening to Friday evening.

Thousands of motorists were stuck for many hours on a stretch of the Delhi-Gurgaon Expressway (NH8) between Rajiv Chowk and Hero Honda Chowk, going towards Jaipur.

On Friday, there was over four feet of water at Hero Honda chowk on NH 8 due to due to breaching of Badshahpur drain.

Meanwhile, a top official scotched rumours that Virk has been transferred as commissioner because he failed to tackle the traffic situation.

“The news of transfer of Commissioner of Police Virk is sheer rumour and there is no such order till now,” said R.S. Sangwan, Deputy Director, National Capital Region Planning Board.

Sangwan said there was currently no water on Hero Honda Chowk on the Delhi-Gurgaon expressway and the drains of NHAI and Khandsa were also low on water.

He said pumps have been used to remove water at Hero Honda Chowk and NH-8.

The court, generally, considers a person who commit a crime and the one who destroys the evidence, as criminals in the eyes of law. But what if an animal destroys the evidence of a crime committed by a human.

In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).

The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.

The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.

Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.

In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.

The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
