  • Spend 8 hours in a steel city jail, pay Rs 500 as fine

    Driving a car or bike without a mask in the steel city during the remaining days of the year will mean that the offender will have to spend eight hours in a camp jail.

    That is not all. Jamshedpur police will also subject the offender to a Covid test and slap a penalty of Rs 500 on him/her.

    “We have launched the drive and set up checkpoints at strategic locations in all 17 police stations areas. But our focus will be on the checkpoints located in Bistupur, Sakchi, Jugsalai, Mango and Golmuri,” said City SP Subhash Chandra Jat on Friday.

    He pointed out that police would intercept only those riders who were without masks and helmets. Even if a rider is wearing a helmet but is without a mask, or a pillion rider is without a mask, then the person without a mask would be penalised and put in a camp jail for eight hours.

    “We have set up two camp jails in the city. One is at Motilal Nehru Public School at Bistupur and another at the closed Incab Industries Ltd in Golmuri. Those put in camp jails will also have to undergo a Covid test,” he added.

    If caught without a mask, those in cars or on bikes would also have to produce all vehicle papers, including a driving licence.

    The police drive is on at Bistupur, Jugsalai, Sakchi, Kadma, Sonari, Golmuri, Mango and Telco. It will continue till the New Year and beyond, said senior police officers, including SSP M. Tamil Vanan.

    City SP Jat said police opted for the harsh measure during the festive month because a large number of people, especially youngsters, usually hit the streets with their two-wheelers without paying heed to traffic rules. “Also, we wanted to ensure everyone takes precautionary measures in view of the Covid-19 pandemic,” Jat said.

    The City SP said that those travelling in cars would also be watched. All occupants of a car would have to wear masks. Sources said police have spread out across the city and checking would be widespread.

    “This will be a kind of random checking. Moreover, during such drives police personnel from the traffic wing as well as from police stations will be deployed,” said a police officer.

    The Finance Secretary had to resign because of the Union Minister. Former Union Finance Secretary Subhash Chandra Garg has made this big disclosure on the sudden resignation from the Ministry of Finance. He said that he did not have good relations with Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, and that is why he resigned from the post before completion of his term and took VRS ie voluntary retirement. Let us tell you here that Subhash Chandra Garg was transferred from Ministry of Finance to Ministry of Power in July 2019, after which he applied for Voluntary Retirement (VRS) and was relieved on 31 October 2019. Earlier, Subhash Chandra Garg had a good relationship with Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, and Garg has also praised him in his blog. However, he could not maintain the same coordination with the new finance minister. Garg wrote in the blog, “It became clear long ago that it was going to be very difficult to work with her… She was prejudiced towards me. She was not comfortable working with me.”
