Pakistan is assessing India's security for the Asia Cup and Junior World Cup participation. The government's comprehensive review focuses on player safety amid tense Indo-Pak relations.

Pakistan may skip hockey tour to India

Pakistan evaluates India's security conditions for its hockey teams' participation in the Asia Cup and Junior World Cup. Ensuring safety and awaiting government clearance amid political tensions.

Pakistan reviews India's security to decide on participating in the Asia Cup and Junior World Cup, emphasizing player safety amid political tensions.

Pakistan is set to review the security situation in India before taking a call on sending its national hockey team to the neighbouring country for the upcoming Asia Cup and Junior World Cup later this year.
A top government official has said that the national team will not be sent to India if there are security threats to them.
Rana Mashood, who is the chairman of the Prime Minister's Youth Development and Sports Program, said that Pakistan would travel to India for the tournaments if the government was totally satisfied with the security situation.
"The government will review the security situation in India for Pakistani nationals and if it is not satisfied it will not put any of our players at risk by sending them to play in India," Mashood, a former minister said.
He pointed out that after India's Operation Sindoor, the situation is not safe for Pakistani nationals to travel to India. The Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF) has sought advice and permission from concerned ministries to send national teams for the two major hockey events scheduled in India with next month's Asia Cup also serving as a qualifier for the next World Cup in 2026.
Rana Mujahid, the secretary-general of PHF, admitted that in the past Pakistan had taken part in some international events in India.
"But as of now the situation is different, relations are strained so we can only move forward when the government gives us clearance," he said.
He pointed out that the PHF was keeping a watch on threats being issued to the hockey team players on social media.

Punjab Cabinet sanctions the hiring of 500 jail staff and approves a new industrial plot policy to enhance security and optimize land use.

Security Boost of Punjab, 500 Jail Staff Hired

Punjab announces recruitment of 500 new jail staff to strengthen security. Policy on industrial plot subdivision is also approved to optimize usage.

The Punjab Cabinet has approved the hiring of 500 jail staff, enhancing security and operations. This includes 29 Assistant Superintendents, 451 Warders, and 20 Matrons. An industrial plot policy was also endorsed.

In order to enhance the security in jails, the Punjab Cabinet led by Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann on Saturday gave approval for filling 500 posts of various cadres in the jail staff.&nbsp;
A decision to this effect was taken by the Council of Ministers in its meeting held here under the chairmanship of the Chief Minister at his office in Punjab Civil Secretariat I.&nbsp;
Divulging the details a spokesperson of the Chief Minister&rsquo;s Office said that, the Cabinet also gave its concurrence to recruit 500 vacant posts of Assistant Superintendents, Warder and Matron under direct recruitment quota in the Jails Department, Punjab. This recruitment will include 29 Assistant Superintendents, 451 Warder and 20 Matron, which will be done by Punjab Subordinate Services Selection Board, thereby helping to beef up the security in the jails. This move will act as a catalyst in further streamlining the functioning of the jails besides helping in making them safe and secure.&nbsp;
APPROVES COMPREHENSIVE POLICY FOR FRAGMENTATION AND SUB DIVISION OF INDUSTRIAL PLOTS
The Cabinet also approved a comprehensive policy for the fragmentation and sub-division of industrial plots in PSIEC-managed industrial estates to enhance land use efficiency. This policy caters to the demands of industrialists and plot owners as well as of prominent industry associations, including the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), Mohali Chamber of Industry &amp; IT, and Mohali Industrial Association. It addresses the need for smaller industrial plots, particularly for the IT and service sectors, to promote efficient land use, attract investments and establish a structured, transparent mechanism for plot fragmentation and sub-division.
The policy facilitates the optimization of land usage, boosts operational efficiency, and supports project expansion by addressing long-standing demands from industrial stakeholders. It applies to freehold plots of 1,000 square yards or larger, with subdivided plots maintaining a minimum size of 400 square yards. A fee of 5% of the current reserve price of the original plot will be charged, reduced to 50% for family members or legal heirs of a deceased allottee.
This policy includes a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) to streamline its implementation. This landmark decision reflects the Government's commitment to
foster a business-friendly environment and support Punjab's industrial ecosystem. The policy is poised to drive economic growth by providing greater flexibility to stakeholders while ensuring compliance with regulatory standards.
EX POST FACTO APPROVAL FOR CONSTITUTION OF HIGH POWERED CABINET SUB COMMITTEE&nbsp;
The Cabinet also gave Ex-post facto approval for the constitution of the High-Powered Cabinet Sub Committee to intensify the &lsquo;War on Drugs&rsquo; program of the State of Punjab. This move will further help in day to day scrutiny of the ongoing war against drugs thereby making Punjab free from the menace of drugs and wean away the youth of state from this scourge.
GIVES NOD TO FRAME PUNJAB FIRE AND EMERGENCY SERVICES (VALIDITY OF FIRE SAFETY CERTIFICATE) RULES, 2025
The Cabinet also gave nod for Framing of Punjab Fire and Emergency Services (Validity of Fire Safety Certificate) Rules, 2025. This will enable the state Government to prescribe the period of Fire Safety Certificate in the case of buildings or premises, including those of specified risk categories through a notification.
PUNJAB FACTORY RULES, 1952 AMENDED FOR EASE OF DOING BUSINESS&nbsp;
The Cabinet also gave approval to Amend Rule 2A, Rule 3A, Rule 4 and Rule 102 of Punjab Factory Rules, 1952 for facilitating Ease of Doing Business. &nbsp;This will enable Self certification plans of the factories by any civil/structural/ mechanical engineer with 5 years of experience or Masters Degree with 2 years experience subject to verification by the department. Structural stability certificate by any civil/structural engineer with 5 years of experience or Masters Degree with 2 years experience will also be allowed subject to verification by the department. Likewise, Women workers will be allowed to work in the manufacturing of pottery and ceramics, and the process of extracting vegetable oil which is banned presently.&nbsp;
CONSENT TO AMEND THE PUNJAB LABOUR WELFARE FUND ACT 1965&nbsp;
The Cabinet also gave consent to Amend the Punjab Labour Welfare Fund Act 1965. Several provisions of the Act are no longer in line with present-day needs. So, various provisions of the Act have been amended to secure the interests of the Labour by making the Fund more realistic and progressive. This fund will safeguard the interests of the labour thereby enabling them to live life with dignity and pride.
GREEN SIGNAL FOR UP-DATION OF PUNJAB FINANCIAL RULES VOLUME I AND VOLUME-II
The Cabinet also gave its green signal for Up-dation of Punjab Financial Rules Volume I and Volume-II as these Rules were framed in the year 1984. As, since then, a lot of changes have been made by way of instructions issued by the Department of Finance, so, there was a need to incorporate them in rules to avoid litigation and confusion.
*NOD TO AMEND SECTION 29(3) OF THE PRTPD ACT*
*In a landmark decision reflecting visionary leadership, the Hon&rsquo;ble Chief Minister has proactively decided to delegate the Chairmanship of all Urban Development Authorities to the Chief Secretary. This bold reform is aimed at strengthening decentralised governance, speeding up decision-making, and empowering the administrative setup to act swiftly on ground-level issues.*
*Previously, these authorities had inconsistent structures. Now, the Cabinet has approved a uniform framework across all 8 authorities, with Deputy Commissioners and Municipal Commissioners included as members&mdash;ensuring that local matters are resolved efficiently at the authority level itself.*&nbsp;
*The decision is based on a comprehensive review of national models, where such bodies are headed by IAS officers or Ministers&mdash;not Chief Ministers&mdash;as seen in Ahmedabad, NOIDA, Kanpur, Bangalore, and others. By delegating routine matters, the Hon&rsquo;ble CM has ensured that strategic oversight remains focused on larger state priorities, while operational decisions are handled promptly.*
*Additionally, the Cabinet approved a long-pending update of the Punjab Financial Rules (Vol I &amp; II), last revised in 1984. The updated rules will codify past instructions, reduce legal ambiguity, and streamline financial governance.*
*Together, these reforms demonstrate clear, bold leadership committed to systemic efficiency, decentralisation, and faster execution.

Mitchell Johnson prioritizes safety over financial gain, voicing concerns about Australian players returning to IPL post-conflict hiatus.

Mitchell Johnson on IPL Returns amid Safety Concerns

Mitchell Johnson urges cricketers to prioritize safety over financial gains, highlighting the heavy decision-making burden for players in post-conflict IPL return.

Lives matter more; don’t rush to India: Mitchell Johnson

Mitchell Johnson advocates for safety over financial gains, urging cricketers not to be pressured into returning to IPL amid conflict concerns.

Renowned former cricketer Mitchell Johnson, celebrated for his formidable career, has won two Indian Premier League (IPL) titles with the Mumbai Indians in 2013 and 2017. However, Johnson has recently expressed strong reservations about Australian players, including Pat Cummins, returning to the IPL as it is set to resume on May 17 following a week's hiatus due to the Indo-Pak conflict.&nbsp;
In a candid column for The Western Australian, Johnson emphasized the heavy burden of decision-making that Australian cricketers face. "While Cricket Australia allows players to make independent choices, the implications of these choices are significant," he stated. "Choosing not to participate may lead to disappointment or possibly impact their professional and financial future, but safety should always be the primary concern."
Reflecting on his own potential decision, Johnson asserted that he would refrain from returning to India in similar circumstances, prioritizing life and safety over financial gain. "If I had to decide whether to head back to India to complete the tournament, it would be an obvious choice. It's a no from me. Lives and safety are paramount, not paychecks," Johnson declared.
The dilemma isn't confined to the IPL alone; the Pakistan Super League is similarly challenged by the decision of overseas players regarding their return. Johnson insists that players must have autonomy over such personal decisions without feeling pressured by any league demands. "It&rsquo;s a personal decision. No one should be coerced or feel obligated to return, even if the IPL and Pakistan Super League push firmly for it. Both competitions should consider ending now or relocating, though such moves carry substantial financial implications," wrote Johnson.
Johnson also noted the differing approaches of national cricket boards, highlighting that Cricket South Africa has adopted a stricter stance compared to the more laissez-faire approach of Cricket Australia. This contrast is particularly noteworthy given CSA's financial associations with India via the SA20 competition.
The IPL final, now rescheduled for June 3, presents another layer of complexity, encroaching upon preparations for the World Test Championship (WTC) final at Lord's, set to commence just a week later. "With the IPL final now pushed back to June 3, just a week before the WTC final starts at Lord's, the impact on player preparation for what is effectively Test cricket's marquee event is concerning. South Africa seems to take a harder line with their players than Australia, which is intriguing given the financial ties between India and South Africa through the SA20," Johnson observed.

Delhi Police conducted mock drills city-wide to enhance emergency readiness. Exercises at locations like Rohini and Saket focused on improving rapid response and coordination.

Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals evacuated from Dharamsala amid security concerns due to a Pakistani drone intrusion attempt, highlighting the priority of national security over IPL events.

Evacuation of IPL Teams Highlights Security

Significant security issues arose as Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals were evacuated from Dharamsala after a Pakistani drone attempt, putting national security ahead of IPL events.

IPL teams evacuated from Dharamshala amid rising security concerns

Amid regional tensions, IPL teams Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals evacuated due to security concerns after a drone intrusion attempt by Pakistan.

Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals contingents were on Friday evacuated from Dharamsala and were escorted to the Jalandhar railway station in batches through Hoshiarpur amid tight security, Kangra's Superintendent of Police Shalini Agnihotri has revealed.
The squads are currently in transit to New Delhi aboard a special train, said the official.
The IPL match between Punjab and Delhi was called off mid-way on Thursday after Pakistan attempted to invade the airspace near Chandigarh with a drone attack, mandating an Indian retaliation.
"On Friday morning, the entire contingents of both teams, including players, coaching staff, and broadcast personnel, were moved in around 40 to 50 small vehicles from Dharamsala to Hoshiarpur, located at the Punjab border," the official said.
She said this convoy was escorted by the Kangra Police and the Punjab Police took over the security arrangements once the vehicles reached Hoshiarpur.
From there, they were moved to Jalandhar to board the specially arranged train.
Speaking on the evacuation process on Thursday, Agnihotri said: "The stadium was cleared within 20 minutes. Our first priority was the safety of everyone present. Both teams' players were immediately called back from the ground and shifted to their respective hotels under tight security." Earlier in the day, the IPL was suspended because of the military confrontation, which was triggered by the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack in which 26 people were gunned down.
The BCCI stated that national interest trumps other considerations at a time when the country is responding to a terror attack and unwarranted aggression from across the border.&nbsp;

Karnataka enhances security measures amid India-Pakistan tensions

Karnataka ramps up security at vital installations post-Operation Sindoor, deploying special forces amid India-Pakistan tensions.

The Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara on Thursday said well-trained special forces are deployed to safeguard major installations in the state in the wake of rising tensions between India and Pakistan in the aftermath of Operation Sindoor.
He said superintendents of police (SPs) in all districts have been sensitised, and they were given strict instructions on taking necessary precautionary measures.
Speaking to reporters here, Parameshwara said, "We have some special forces like Karnataka State Industrial Security Force. We deploy them for safeguarding major installations like in Raichur (thermal power station), Kaiga (nuclear power plant), and Krishna Raja Sagara Dam. They are all well trained and have received commando training." In response to a question whether the state has enough personnel in such forces, he said, "The available force was deployed. There is a requirement from them for additional strength. If we start requirement, it will take a year for training and other things; that process will go on continuously." An advisory from the union government asked us to conduct mock drills at three places they mentioned and they have given a format for the drills too, Parameshwara said adding that they conducted a drill accordingly in Bengaluru on Wednesday.
"It will be held in various other places today, tomorrow and day after. The Centre has selected Karwar and Raichur to conduct the drills in addition to Bengaluru. We have included Mysuru in the list based on intelligent inputs and other reasons,"

Delhi Airport begins trials of full body scanners to enhance security and efficiency. Using safe millimeter-wave technology, scanners provide fast processing and privacy while aligning with global standards.

Delhi Airport Trials Full Body Scanners for Security

Full body scanners have been introduced at Delhi Airport as part of a trial to enhance passenger security. Utilizing advanced, safe millimeter-wave technology, these scanners promise rapid processing while ensuring privacy and setting new security standards.

Delhi Airport begins trials of full body scanners to enhance security and efficiency

Delhi Airport is trialing full body scanners to enhance security. These scanners use safe millimeter-wave technology, process fast, and protect privacy, aligning with global standards.

Delhi airport will start trials of full body scanners in May, with the airport operator DIAL saying that the scanners will generate a standardised 2D image on a preset human avatar so that no personal images are stored in the system.
Four scanners have been procured, with two installed at Terminal 1 (T1) and two at Terminal 3 (T3). These scanners are expected to reduce the waiting time for passengers at the airport.
"The IT interface for these machines is being finalised, and upon completion of the three-to-four-month trial, a BCAS-led committee will evaluate the findings and establish a Standard Operating Procedure (SoP) for full-scale implementation," Delhi International Airport Ltd (DIAL) said in a release on Friday.
The scanners will be using millimeter-wave technology operating between 70 to 80 GHz. DIAL said that unlike conventional X-ray scanners, they do not emit radiation, making them safe for all travellers, including pregnant women and individuals with medical implants.
The trials of the scanners will start in May following the latest guidelines from the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS).
"These advanced scanners detect both metallic and non-metallic threats, including explosives, significantly improving upon traditional metal detectors.
"The technology, already in use at major international airports in the US, Canada, and Australia, enables rapid screening, with each scan taking just three seconds and a maximum throughput of 1,200 scans per hour," the release said.
According to DIAL, the scanners generate a standardized 2D image on a preset human avatar, ensuring no personal images are stored.
They will be equipped with four touch screen monitors for image evaluation and passenger guidance and can scan individuals between 3.3 feet to 6.7 feet in height.
"All scan data is stored securely with access restricted to authorised agencies, ensuring both security and convenience for travellers," the release said.
DIAL CEO Videh Kumar Jaipuriar said the full body scanners will allow for faster and more effective checks without compromising privacy.
The Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) in the national capital is the country's largest airport.
Bengaluru airport has been conducting trials of full body scanners for around a year now.

In response to a recent gangrape, Karnataka enforces stringent safety guidelines for homestays, demanding police permissions for secluded tourist spots.

Safety Guidelines Tightened for Karnataka Homestays

Following a disturbing gangrape incident, Karnataka issues new safety measures for homestays requiring police permissions for remote area visits.

Karnataka tightens safety protocols for homestays post gangrape

Karnataka introduces rigorous safety guidelines for homestays after a gangrape incident. Homestay owners must secure police permission for remote tours.

In response to a brutal gangrape incident involving an Israeli tourist and an Indian homestay owner in Gangavathi town, near the historic Hampi site, the Karnataka government has issued a new set of guidelines to enhance tourist safety at homestays and resorts across the state.
The circular, issued by S. R. Umashankar, the Additional Chief Secretary of the Home Department, underlines the urgent need for stringent safety measures, especially for tourists in secluded areas.
It mandates that whenever tourists are taken to remote locations, prior police permission must be secured. Failing to do so leaves homestay owners liable for any incidents involving anti-social elements or wild animals, and they will face legal repercussions.
The directive, addressed to the State Police Chief, Deputy Commissioners, Superintendents of Police, ADGP (Law and Order), and the Director of State Intelligence, instructs officials to disseminate the guidelines to every homestay and resort.
Furthermore, homestay and resort owners are required to provide an undertaking affirming their adherence to these rules.&nbsp;
Officials are also tasked with reviewing itineraries to eliminate potentially dangerous visits, with a deadline set for their compliance report by March 18.
The catalyst for these stringent measures was a tragic event reported on March 6.
Two foreign nationals and two Indian tourists, staying at a homestay in Anegundi, Gangavathi taluk, were assaulted while stargazing post-dinner.
Three assailants not only attacked the male tourists, shoving them into the Tungabhadra Left Canal&mdash;which resulted in the drowning of an Odisha tourist&mdash;but also raped both the Indian homestay owner and the Israeli tourist.
The government described this brutal act as profoundly distressing and issued these new regulations to avert future tragedies.
The culprits have been apprehended by the police, which brings some relief, but the state government is determined to bolster safety protocols to prevent any recurrence of such heartrending incidents.

Delhi Police has ramped up security arrangements for New Year celebrations, deploying over 10,000 personnel across key locations. The force aims to prevent hooliganism, enforce traffic regulations, and maintain law and order.

Delhi Police intensifies security for New Year celebrations

More than 10,000 police personnel from traffic and other units of the Delhi Police will maintain vigil.

The Delhi Police has intensified security arrangements and increased deployments in the border areas of the national capital for New Year celebrations, officials said on Thursday.
More than 10,000 police personnel, including traffic police are expected to be on the ground to rein in hooliganism and traffic violations, they said.
"After Christmas, we have made a robust plan for the security arrangements for New Year eve. We want everyone to welcome the new year with great zeal but no one will be allowed to breach the law," a senior police officer said.
According to police, additional pickets, barricades and personnel -- including paramilitary deployment -- will be made at the borders to tackle nuisance by people from the adjoining states, said the officer.
Delhi shares borders with Haryana and Uttar Pradesh and lies close to Rajasthan. A large number of people from these three states arrive in the national capital for New Year celebrations.
The police said they have already deployed police personnel at more than 10 locations for Christmas, but now they have intensified their security and heavy deployment has already been done on more than 15 locations from where vehicles enter the national capital.
"The traffic police has already chalked out a plan to combat motorcycle stunts and drink driving. Additional forces from different police stations will be deployed to help the traffic police," another senor police officer said.
According to the police, there will be shift duties and SHOs have been ordered to be on the road with their teams to maintain law and order on New Year Eve.
Teams will impound two or four wheeler immediately if anyone is found indulging in stunt-like activities. Strict action will be ensured, said the police officer.
"For New Year celebration, our teams are checking bus stands, railway stations, hotels, dharamshalas, night shelters and other locations to verify if anyone is staying without providing proper documents. We have already launched our special drive to identify those who are staying illegally in the national capital," said the officer.
More than 10,000 police personnel from traffic and other units of the Delhi Police will maintain vigil.
A senior police officer of the Delhi Traffic Police said traffic personnel will be deployed in adequate strength. The main focus will be at Connaught Place, Hauz Khas, markets and near malls.
At Connaught Place, vehicles having valid sticker will be allowed to enter the Inner Circle area. The Delhi Police will distribute the stickers, the officer said, adding that extra deployed will also be seen at India Gate where people come to celebrate New Year.
Pickets will be placed at several areas across the city specially near the malls and party areas. The drunken driving drive will also be carried out and those found violating the rules will be penalised. The extra staff will be deployed near the hotels, the officer said.

Ahead of G20 events, Delhi Police to procure 500 vehicles, high-tech security apparatus

Over 200 meetings at 55 locations across the country will be held during this period, culminating with a summit in September in Delhi.

In view of G20 events in the national capital, Delhi Police has decided to procure 500 new vehicles equipped with high-tech security gadgets to provide foolproof protection to foreign dignitaries attending the programme, officials said on Monday.
The G20 or Group of 20 is an intergovernmental forum of the world's major developed and developing economies. The bloc comprises Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Turkiye, the UK, the US and the European Union (EU).
India assumed the presidency of the G20 on December 1 last year.
Over 200 meetings at 55 locations across the country will be held during this period, culminating with a summit in September in Delhi.
According to the officials, the security wing of Delhi Police will be getting 200 Mahindra Bolero -- seven-seater compact SUV -- and 200 Maruti Ertiga which is also a seven seater-vehicle. These two brands of vehicles will be inducted by March in the lead up to the G20 summit.
"We are also procuring 100 Scorpio cars. Although we have sufficient number of vehicles for our routine security arrangements, but for the G-20 summit, we are procuring additional 500 new vehicles which will be used by the security wing of our force as the security of foreign dignitaries visiting the national capital from across the world is our responsibility," a senior police officer said.
Apart from vehicles, the police department has also placed orders for various security-related equipment, including bullet resistant explosive detectors, night vision, vehicle surveillance system, baggage scanners, among other items.

&ldquo;A resident discharged a firearm, security forces arrived on scene to apprehend the intruder and law enforcement is investigating the incident.&rdquo; Joint Base Andrews is home to the fleet of blue and white presidential aircraft, including Air Force One, Marine One and the &ldquo;doomsday&rdquo; 747 aircraft that can serve as the nation's airborne nuclear command and control centres if needed.
The Air Force said late Monday it did not have anything to add beyond the Andrews statement about Monday's intrusion.
It's not the first time the base's security has been breached; in February 2021 a man got through the military checkpoint onto the installation, then through additional fenced secure areas to gain access to the flight line and climb into a C-40, which is the military's 737-equivalent aircraft used to fly government officials.
That intruder was apprehended because the &ldquo;mouse ears&rdquo; cap he was wearing struck an observant airman as odd.
An inspector general's investigation found three main security failings, starting with &ldquo;human error&rdquo; by a gate security guard who allowed the man to drive onto the base even though he had no credentials that authorised his access.
Hours later, the man walked undetected onto the flight line by slipping through a fence designed to restrict entry.
Finally, he walked onto and off a parked airplane without being challenged, even though he was not wearing a required badge authorising access to the restricted area.&nbsp;

Bharat Jodo Yatra in J&K: no inputs of threat to Rahul Gandhi-led march,

&ldquo;The Yatra will enter Jammu from Punjab in a day or two. For a few days, the march will be in different districts of Jammu and then it will enter the Kashmir Valley.
&ldquo;The Yatra will be in Kashmir for three to four days. We have discussed that (in the security review meeting). We have discussed the arrangements at the range-level and the district level. Whatever security measures need to be taken, they will be taken,&rdquo; Singh told reporters.&nbsp;

The march, which started from Kanyakumari in Tamil Nadu on September 7, will conclude with Gandhi hoisting the national flag in Srinagar. It has so far covered Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and Punjab.
Asked if there was any threat input about the Yatra, the top cop said, &ldquo;There is no such input." To a question on whether the Yatra will be allowed on foot, he replied that it will be regulated in such a manner that people do not face any inconvenience.
&ldquo;These things will be regulated because there is traffic and other things. A huge yatra can cause inconvenience to people as roads can get blocked. This is a Yatra and is taken both on foot as well as using vehicles.
&ldquo;Our endeavour will be to take forward the march with vehicles wherever there is a single road, and in rest of the places, the participants may be advised to walk on foot where the roads allow,&rdquo; Singh said. He asserted that the Yatra can be "guided from the security point of view as well wherever it is needed".

Punjabi singer and politician Sidhu Moose Wala was shot dead on May 29. The deadly attack occurred just a day after his security cover was withdrawn by the state government.
Moose Wala, whose real name was Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu, was among the 424 people whose security was withdrawn by Punjab police on May 28. The others who lose state security were two former MLAs, two Jathedars of Takht Damdama Sahib and Takht Kesgarh Sahib, heads of Deras and serving and retired policemen.
On May 28, a controversy had broken out over the issue of state security. The government first trimmed, but then sought to restore the security of Akal Takht Jathedar Giani Harpreet Singh. Singh had refused police cover, saying Sikh youth and Khalsa Panth were enough for his security.
The Akal Takht Jathedar was recently in news for saying that Sikh youth should arm themselves with licensed weapons. CM Bhagwant Mann had criticised the statement.
The spate of state security being withdrawn began after the Aam Aadmi Party won the Punjab elections, but before the government was sworn in. On March 12, Punjab police withdrew security of 122 former ministers and MLAs.
The decision had coincided with then-CM-designate Bhagwant Mann's statement that Punjab police was providing security to politicians, while police stations were lying vacant. Mann had said that the politician-centric approach in policing would be changed to people-centric approach.
Since the first order, at least 4 more such directives were issued by the AAP government.
