PHAGWARA H.P.S. KHAKH Phagwara is situated at Doaba belt of Punjab. (Doaba bifurcate the word Do (Two) Aab (Rivers). This is the combination of two Urdu language words. The area between two rivers: River Beas & River Satlej is being called the area of Doaba in Punjab. The area beyond Beas river up to Amritsar- Wagah Boarder (Adjoining Pakistan) is called the area of Majha of Punjab. The area beyond Satlej river towards Ludhiana, Patiala is called the area of Malwa belt. Doaba region belt is NRI (Non Resident Indians) thickly populated belt. In Doaba belt say every fourth person of each house has been migrated to the developed or gulf countries. As the land holdings of the resident of PHAGWARA is not too much as compared to the land holdings of U.P. The residential and commercial property of Phagwara is the costliest in Punjab. The commercial rates of the property are so high that you can match the commercial property rates with that of metropolitan citys rates, even with Connought Place & Nariman Point. The reason behind it is the flow of foreign currency. That is why the small town of Phagwara has maximum number of banks according to density of population in India. Phagwaras PNB Banks G.T. Road, Branch is the largest branch if we consider domestic and foreign currency deposit in North India. As there is a low holding of land and peoples lust to settle abroad is too high. That is why the people have become the victim of Malta boats hair-raising episode. The duping of Phagwaras people by travel agents due to their desire to settle abroad, cases of Narcotic Smuggling, Fake currency racket and security reasons. I, talked to Phagwaras Deputy Supdtt. Of Police Mr. H.P.S. Khakh regarding the policies of the Govt. The few contents of the interview is as under: 1. Madhok: 498 A, is being misused by the girls side people to harass the boys side people. In most of the cases even the Senior Citizen ladies have been booked by the Police. Whether the proper investigation is being done in those cases? D.S.P. Khakh: Rajneeshji, for your kind information Sec 498A & 420 cases will be inquired and investigated by the Gazetted officer not below the rank of DSP. The official after investigation in the matter will deeply study the case & after his/her conclusion the case be registered. So, there is no chance of misuse of Act 498A & 420 in future. 2. Madhok: On what ground the case under Sec 498A & 420 IPC is being registered? D.S.P. Khakh: Sec 498A & Sec 420 is being lodged on the people on charges of harassment, metal & physical torture to fulfill demand of bringing more dowry. Regarding Sec 420 in most of the cases this Sec is being used in Phagwara against Travel Agents as in most of the cases the people are being duped by Travel agents. 3. Madhok: What actions the Police is taking against and how the information is being collected against these travel agents. D.S.P. Khakh: Now the Govt. has formulated a policy. We collect information from public & take action against the travel agents who used to advertise in local news papers & periodicals, Cable Tv network with the assurance to public to settle them abroad within the stipulated period. We prosecute those travel agents & register the case under Sec 420. 4. Madhok: What precautionary steps the Police deptt & administration has been taking to save the people from the unscrupulous travel agents and cheaters. D.S.P. Khakh: The police deptt has constituted a committee. Previously the offenders used to get scot free in the case registered under Sec 406 & Sec 420 but as per new instructions the official has to define his role in investigation. Now the Govt. has designated the travel agents. I appeal to the Public to get the services of Authorized Travel Agents as life and Property is very costly. Try to save yourself. If the person has been duped by any fake travel agent then the complaint kindly be lodged in the nearby Police Station so that the racket of travel agents be unearthed & the culprits could be arrested at the earliest. 5.

Madhok: To avoid such incidents what steps Police deptt will take? D.S.P. Khakh: We held a meeting with Deputy Commissioner Kapurthala, S.S.P. Kapurthala, SDM Phagwara & myself. The solution to such problem, which had been finalized, is that a specific location will be earmarked in the town to protest and the Protestants will not be allowed to block traffic on the main roads. 8. Madhok: In the protest the Protestants damaged public vehicles & manhandled them. What steps the Police Deptt take to avoid such incidents. D.S.P.
