Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa suspends two policemen and a constable at Phillaur Hi-Tech check post

Phillaur, Oct 28 (STN) Deputy Chief Minister and Home Minister Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa today ordered suspension of two policemen and a constable at a high-tech check post near Sutlej river here for negligence of duty. Randhawa said there were roadblocks on the main road and barricades were set up but police personnel were sitting inside the room instead of being present at the roadblock. He immediately called the concerned senior police officials and ordered immediate suspension of the three employees. He said that the officers and employees of the police department would have to perform their duties responsibly and honestly. Strict legal action will be taken against anyone found negligent. The police personnel defended themselves saying that it was not their fault, they were changing their duty shift after 24 hours. A police officer said that he is a diabetic, 56 years old. He was standing on the side to urinate but on seeing Wazir Sahib he was immediately present.
