Amritsar Firing | Punjab Di Taja Khabar | 9 ਵਜੇ ਦੀਆਂ ਵੱਡੀਆਂ ਖ਼ਬਰਾਂ | AGTF | Today Punjabi News
Watch on YouTubeVideo summary
The video report opens with a dramatic account of an attack on an Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) named Jaswant Singh in the Amritsar region. Despite being shot in the head by unidentified assailants near Bhalla village while returning from duty, the brave police officer managed to reach the hospital on his own motorcycle. Medical teams at the emergency ward confirmed that he is now out of danger and under observation, though the incident highlights a disturbing trend of targeted violence against law enforcement personnel in the Gurdaspur and Amritsar border areas. The news segment also covers a separate but significant development regarding the Punjab Police's Anti-Gangster Task Force (AGTF), which successfully extradited a notorious gangster named Amrit Pal from Moldova after he had escaped India using a fake passport. This operation, part of Operation Eastern Rates, resulted in the arrest of the accused who faces 21 registered cases in Punjab, marking a major victory for the police in bringing a fugitive back to face justice.
A severe power crisis continues to plague Punjab, with industrial areas in major cities facing extended blackouts from 10 PM to 6 AM due to a significant gap between electricity demand and production. The state's total demand stands at approximately 16,000 megawatts, yet current production is only around 4,500 megawatts, forcing the government to borrow power from the central pool to meet basic needs. The report details that thermal plants are largely non-operational, and even renewable sources like hydro and solar projects contribute minimally to the shortfall. This energy deficit threatens the survival of local industries, which may be forced to rely on expensive diesel generators, consuming vast amounts of oil and potentially leading to further economic decline if the situation persists through the summer months.
The broadcast also shifts focus to the cultural and spiritual significance of the day, marking the first Prakash Purb of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. The Golden Temple in Amritsar is elaborately decorated with flowers sourced from across the country and abroad, creating a festive atmosphere as millions of devotees gather for prayers and the Akhand Path ceremony. Historical context is provided regarding the compilation of the Adi Granth by the fifth Guru, Sri Guru Arjan Dev Ji, in 1604 AD, which established the scripture's central role in Sikhism. The segment includes a recitation of Gurbani poetry celebrating the Guru's lineage and emphasizes the community's devotion, while also noting that the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee has made extensive arrangements for accommodation and langar to ensure visitors can worship without inconvenience.
Finally, the news report touches upon several other regional updates, including a sanitation workers' strike in Haryana that concluded after 36 days with an agreement on sixteen demands, and a controversy in Gurdaspur where a fifth-grade student was suspended for allegedly bringing alcohol to school, though parents have denied these allegations. The BRICS Summit is also mentioned as beginning in Delhi, drawing global attention to the meeting between Chinese President Xi Jinping and world leaders at the Bharat Mandap. These diverse stories collectively paint a picture of Punjab navigating challenges ranging from security threats and infrastructure deficits to celebrating deep-rooted religious traditions and pursuing legal justice against organized crime.

Today is the first Parkash Purb of Sri Guru Granth Sahib.
Sri Darbar Sahib is decorated with colorful flowers. A large
number of devotees are paying obeisance. The
base is complete and the health is complete.
Sat Shri Akal. I am Krishan Singh. You are
watching News 18 Punjab. The
big news of the moment is coming. The
accused of RPG Tech was shot dead from Tarn Taran.
This is the accused who was out on bail and was
ambushed and brought to the brink of death. When the
police arrested him in the Sarhali police station RPG attack case,
Jagjit was mentioned.
This murder was committed at the base of the Nushera Pannu.
Two shooters on a bike came and
shot Jagjit dead.
Prabhadasuwal gang carried out this murder. A very
big news is coming from Amritsar that ASI was
shot and ASA Jaswant Singh was
shot in the head. A
brave ASI of Punjab Police reached the hospital himself after being shot. This
is the biggest news,
who shot him? Who killed him? This is the second or third
major incident that has happened in the areas of Amritsar and Gurdaspur.
You will remember the SI, there was a murder before this too.
So this is a picture from last night,
how the information coming in about the shooting of ASI Jaswant Singh from Ajnala while he was returning from duty, that
unknown persons surrounded and
attacked Jaswant Singh near Bhalla village of Raja Sansi with the intention of killing him.
He had killed his brother but did
not know that Jaswant
ASI himself would come to the hospital on a motorcycle while injured. So
you are seeing the picture that the
attempt to kill the ASI has been made.
This is a picture of the scene. Some
doctors can be seen.
These are the pictures of the emergency ward. Because the way in which
this attack was carried out is not a small matter.
What was the intention behind the shooting at the ASI?
Before this, there were close
border connection killings. As
I mentioned earlier, the
police personnel in the areas of Gurdaspur and Amritsar were
targeted in
those cases whose connection they were crossing, that is, a
large
number of murders of police personnel were carried out by handlers in the
past few months. Because
how is the Amritsar Police of Punjab looking at this whole scenario
and the DIG Border has
any explanation for this? This is not a small case and an
attempt has been made to directly challenge the Amritsar Police.
His name is Jaswant Singh from Sir City and he was
injured due to a bullet or something hitting his head and
this incident took place in the Amritsar Rural area and the
rural police immediately admitted him to
Amritsar for further treatment and he is completely
out of danger. There is no such thing
and his treatment is going on. There was
firing. How much firing was done? Where did it happen? The
relevant police officers who are
verifying on the spot will tell you. A
case has been registered.
I am telling you that
his treatment is going on. He has been kept under
observation. It is the
first Parkash Purab of Guru Granth Sahib.
Sri Darbar Sahib has been decorated with colorful flowers.
Today, the Bhog of Akhand Path Sahib will be offered. A
large number of devotees are
visiting the shrine since early morning.
You are seeing in the pictures that
today's day is considered extremely sacred and
historic in the history of the Sikh Panth. The Sikh community
celebrates the first Parkash Purb of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji with devotion, respect and practice of Gurbani. This is the historic
day that
gave a new foundation to the spiritual and institutional journey of Sikhism
and gave Gurbani a central place.
So, a
large number of devotees
visit this abode of Guru Sahib, not only from the country but also from abroad.
Amit Sharma, my dear Amit, connected to Amritsar,
these pictures become very important
when devotees from all over the country and abroad come to pay their respects at the Golden Temple Sahib
[for music].
Yes, the first Parkash Parv of Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Ji, which is being celebrated today, is something that the
devotees are waiting for. The
devotees
must have started reaching Sachkhand Shri Harmandir Sahib in advance. Let's
talk about the late night. The
enchanting view that has started from late night
and will end with the
fireworks of the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee until late evening is what the
devotees are waiting for. The
biggest thing is that
for three days,
about 200 artisans have been involved in the flower decorations. Their
day is also very important for them
because let's talk about today's day, and today's
day, which is in Sikh history and is a
very sacred and important day for the entire Sikh community,
because today, the joys of the first Parkash Parv of Shri Guru Granth Sahib Ji,
which is being
celebrated by the devotees. Let's
talk about Sachkhand Shri Harmandir Sahib, then at this
time, the whole atmosphere here, which
looks supernatural, the beauty of Shri Darbar Sahib is
even more beautiful,
which is adorned with flowers, which are
brought from home and abroad. Flowers were ordered for
this. Many types of flowers were also included. There is an
atmosphere of spirituality everywhere. You can definitely see
that lakhs of devotees have
reached this place and
some devotees are also present with us. We
will also talk to them. Bhaji, today the
first Parkash Parv of Shri Guru Granth Sahib Ji is being
celebrated. What would you like to say? You have
reached Sachkhand Shri Harmandir Sahib to pay homage.
Special preparations have been made by the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee.
If we talk about flowers and the enchanting view of flowers, the
devotees also look very happy to see them.
Today is a very historic day. In 1604,
Sri Guru Arjan Dev Ji was
born for the first time in Harmandir Sahib. When the Bani started to
merge, when Prithi Chand's
son Meharban sat down and recited his Bani and
he also recited Shabad with Nanak, and it was not known whether
this was Nanak Ji's Bani or
his Bani would have merged with the raw Bani.
Sri Guru Arjan Dev Ji collected all the
books of Guru Nanak Dev, Guru Angad Dev
Ji, Guru Amardas Ji, Guru Ramdas Ji and
all the books of Guru Nanak Dev and had
them written by the scribe Bhai Gurdas Ji at Ramsar
and edited for the first time. The first time this Parkash was done
here at the Golden Temple was
in 1604 AD. He spent
three years writing from 1601 to 1604 and the
first Parkash was done at this place at the Golden Temple.
Congratulations to all the Sangat on the first Parkash Purb.
This Prakash Purab, whatever it may be, is being
celebrated today with great devotion.
In 1604 AD, when Baba Budha Ji
was appointed as a granthi, Baba Budha Ji was
told, "Open the Granth, let the
whole sect listen to the sound." The Buddha opened the Granth with respect. The Buddha spoke with his
mouth. For the first time, the Hukamnama had come. The
fifth saint's work was done by
himself. He came to do all the work. Ram, the land of
Sahavi, the rhythm of Sahava, the nectar of life, Ram, has covered the earth with
flowers today. If you yourself
say that you have gone to heaven after death, then it is a reality that
today you will have the
vision of Sachkhand, the land of truth. This day will be a
very historic day. This is that door. It is
a unique attraction in your presence. It is
not by chance that millions of heads
bow down in your court every day. This is the place
where the leprosy of lepers is cured and the
diseases of the sick are cured. The words of the
Hukamnama are for us. We are for them. We have been
inspired to walk on and our
blessings are with us when we
follow the Hukamnama. Congratulations to all the Sangat on the first
Parkash Purb.
Kishan, of course. We will
also listen to a poem on the first Parkash Purb of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji,
which has been specially prepared.
What is the name? You must recite a
poem on the first Parkash Purb of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. First of all, the
victory of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Kalgidhar Patshah. Let us call upon the
Khalsa of Waheguru Ji. Let us take the
name of Guru Nanak. To the Sangats of the country
and abroad, congratulations to the Sangats of the country and abroad. Congratulations to the Sangats of Sri
Guru Granth Sahib Ji.
Das Dana Bhai Sukhjit
Singh Khalsa, poet of Amritsar Sahib. So I will make you
listen to the verses of Gurbani. Please listen. The
beautiful Golden Temple
is where the eight feet of the Guru walk. The beautiful Golden
Temple is where the eight feet of the Guru walk. The eight feet of the Guru walk. The
infinite Lord is my King.
Blessed is Guru Ramdas
and the infinite, my king, blessed is
Guru Ramdas, who has
sung the Bani across the oceans, who has
sung the Bani
across the oceans, who has distributed the Bani across the oceans, the treasure of knowledge in the world. The
light belongs to everyone, whoever
comes to the world, high and low, may God make it easy for us to come closer from a distance. The sleeping
destiny is
awakened,
who has kept it in his mind
but has kept it empty, who has kept it in his mind but has kept it
empty. The Bani of Guru Gurbani, the great treasure, has
sung the Bani
across the oceans, the chaplain, the dega, the dega, the chaplain The
wearing of the Bani Bana, which is good in itself, is a blessing
to all the Sangats, a
million congratulations, a jaikara, the Sadh Sangat ji, may it be joyful, may
Sodhi
Sultan be blessed, may Shri Guru Ramdas Ji
Maharaj and Guru Granth Sahib, may the Guru Panth be
joyful, Sat Sri Akal,
so absolutely Kishan, today's holy day
also gives us a message to connect with the teachings of Shri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, adopt Gurbani in our lives and serve humanity, so you are
seeing pictures of Sachkhand Shri Harmandir Sahib,
although the devotees in the number of lakhs
who are bowing down and praying and are
also seen praying for the good health of the country and the world, let's
talk about the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee and in
advance, as I have
already said that preparations are
definitely started in advance by holding a
meeting by the President of the Shiromani Committee, because
devotees come in the number of lakhs, so
today Deepmala will also be done at night and
Along with this, the fireworks display will also be organized
by the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee.
So, the
Shiromani Gurdwara
Parbandhak Committee, which also makes arrangements for the accommodation and departure of the devotees who come in the lakhs, also arranges for langar
so that the devotees do
not have to face any problems or inconveniences.
Kishan,
thank you very much. I have
seen the pictures. We mention that day of Harmandir Sahib
because Sikhs celebrate
these days with great devotion.
Sikhs arrive in lakhs every day. When special days are celebrated,
they are also
celebrated with great devotion. Thank you very much.
When Sachkhand Shri Harmandir Sahib was
taken from there by that
blessed Guru Arjan Dev Maharaj,
you are seeing the
pictures of the Nagar Kirtan. Under the
leadership of the Panj Pyares and the owner of the Guru Granth Sahib, the four-roofed Takht, under
his leadership, the
first Parkash of Guru Granth Sahib Ji. Today, a large
number of Sikhs can be
seen. SPC members can be seen. A
large number of people are joining this Nagar Kirtan. The
Darbar Sahib was decorated with flowers. The
birth of the Guru took place at that time. According to the Shaheed
Kartabani, it is the
first Parkash Purb of Guru Granth Sahib Ji
and Sri
Darbar Sahib was decorated with colorful flowers. As the Akhand Path
Sahib is being celebrated, a large
number of devotees have been paying obeisance in the Guru Ghar since morning.
It is said that
today's day holds a very sacred historical
significance in Sikh history. The Sikh community is celebrating the
first Parkash Purb of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji
with great devotion and respect. At the same time, the
historic day
holds great significance among Sikhs and the institutional
pilgrimage was given a new foundation.
Gurbani was given a central place.
Nearly four centuries ago, the fifth Guru, Sri
Guru Arjan Dev Ji,
collected the hymns of various Gurus and devotees and
established them in the Adi Granth Granth Sahib.
After that, you will see how many people are celebrating the
first Parkash Purb of Shri Guru Granth Sahib Ji Maharaj Ji. On
this very day in 1604 AD, the
first Parkash of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji Maharaj Ji was performed at Sachkhand Sri Darbar Sahib. As we all
know, the
fifth Guru, Sri Guru Arjan Dev Ji
Maharaj Ji, himself got the
first Saroop of Adi Granth Ji written by Bhai Sahib Bhai Gurdas Ji on the banks of Gurdwara Sri Ramsar Sahib Sarovar.
When that holy Saroop was completed,
Guru Arjan Dev Ji Maharaj,
he and the entire Sangat performed the first Parkash of
Adi Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji Maharaj Ji at Sachkhand Sri Darbar Sahib in 1604 AD. The
great scholar of the Sikh community,
Brahm Gyani Sant Sipahi Dhan Dhan Dhan Baba
Buddha Sahib Ji,
also has the honor of being the first Granthi of Guru Granth Sahib Ji within the Sachkhand Shri Darbar Sahib.
So the power crisis in Punjab has worsened. There are
eight-hour power cuts in the industrial areas of big cities. The
power went out at 10 pm and
came back after 6 am, that is, the power is going out from 10 am to 6 am.
At present, this power was low for a day.
Due to low power production,
Punjab's PSPCL had to chew bitterly
and there is a large number of shortages during the day as well.
Power supply for agriculture is also being
affected. Let me tell you that if the
total demand in Punjab is 16 thousand megawatts, then
if the industry does not get electricity, then
how will the industry survive?
How will Punjab survive? Although a
large number of Punjabis want the eight-hour
cuts they want, from
time to time there have been discussions about power cuts under
different governments. If
we talk about the current situation, we will talk about
16 thousand megawatts, that is, it is summer.
Due to this, the production that is there is decreasing
and the supply is being consumed to such an extent that the
demand of 16 thousand megawatts is in Punjab. Then
you will see the total demand and total
production,
demand and supply. This is the rule of economics.
So you will see that if we talk about demand and production, the
production is 4501 megawatts. 4501
megawatts. In Punjab, the maximum
demand is 17500 megawatts. And you see
how much production is happening in Punjab.
4501 Most of the thermal plants in Punjab are not even running. The
units are closed. And what is the total demand?
1612.
Then tell me. 4501.
And then how much is the demand? 1612. This 1612 that the
government is giving is coming from where? It is
coming from the central pool. That is, the
government is having to borrow electricity. It is having to
pay a large amount of money. But
according to the unit, it has to buy a large amount of
electricity. But still, there are
big problems between government and private thermal
plants in Punjab. You see that almost all the
thermal plants are not producing.
Why is it not happening? The question is very big. Government
thermal plants are producing 1637 megawatts.
Tell me how many cities can run
with 1637. How many private plants are producing
1858 megawatts? You also see that the
comparison we made between government and private plants is
exactly that. 5248% is the only
way to calculate the ratio. There is
no more production in Punjab than that. Power crisis in Punjab and
other sources of electricity production, look at the
thermal plants alone, the
government is saying that
we cannot run them on the roads, they will
run on coal, why not coal? The
Punjab government has killed hydro projects,
solar projects and the central bridge. You see,
hydro projects are power projects that
run on water resources, that is called hydro projects. 532
turbines are running, the turbines are rotating, they
generate electricity, you see, 52.3
megawatts, this was the support. Solar power, the
solar roof tubes installed in your homes, is
also contributed,
meaning that PSPCL gains that electricity and
then channels it further.
473 MW, that is, 473 MW is the electricity
produced from solar and
hydro projects, electricity projects generated with the help of water,
whether we talk about rivers or dams, the
central pool, look, you buy
from the central [sound of blowing nose] bridge.
If electricity is not available from the central pool, there could be a
20-20 hour cut,
even a 22 hour cut in Punjab. If the center had been caught saying
that we do not have electricity,
we will not give it to you. Then
11653 MW is that big figure that
Punjab is getting about 16 hours of electricity today, but it is getting
eight-eight hour cuts,
because the central pool is a
very big support. For Punjab,
electricity production has almost ended in Punjab.
What is the problem in the industrial area?
This is a very big one. However,
what is the reason for the industrial setback? Because the neighboring state
of Punjab constantly blames Punjab for bringing
us industry here.
Whether we talk about UP, MP,
Rajasthan, or big areas like Noida,
their eyes are
on the industry of Punjab. That is why from 10 am
to 6 pm, you can see that the
cut of eight hours is historically low.
If the industry of Punjab does not get electricity,
what will the industry do? The industry will have to run Jain sets.
What would be the
fuel consumption in the Jain sets?
You will see that by 90-95 liters of oil, the industry would
also decrease. Sometimes, because the
need is very big, the small and big industries go away.
Don't ask the big ones. The
industry around Ludhiana and the industrial area have no
electricity from 10 am to 6 pm.
Then you can understand for yourself. And the
biggest thing in this is that now
Will we have to wait a little and
keep our eyes on Lord Indra?
Maybe there will be some heavy rain for 15-20 days, then
a little relief for PSPCL. No, then
Punjab will have a very difficult time.
Very big news is here. Punjab Police
AGTF has achieved a big success. Punjab
Police's wing Anti-Gangster Task Force has
achieved success. So, when gangster Amrit Pal
alias Amrit Dalam Bol Dawa was being
brought to India, he was told that
Amrit Dalam had been extradited under Operation Eastern Rates and had
escaped from India using a fake passport.
21 cases were registered against Amrit Dalam and you can see
how many cases, out of 21 cases, i.e.
almost two dozen cases, he was targeted and
in which cases he was involved, he
made a fake passport and absconded. You
see how fake passports are made,
although there are a large number of ways to leave the country, some of them go
through Bhutan,
some of them go through Nepal,
where there is no security even today. And
you are looking at the picture, in which SP
Bikram Brar can be seen in a red turban. The one
mentioned in Moldova was brought to India from Moldova.
This picture is very important.
Not only Bikram Brar, but
many members of his team can be seen. He was brought to India from Moldova and
extradited.
You can see his picture. The
Punjab police are arresting him.
What other revelations will there be? How did he escape?
Escape from the country is
not a difficult thing for gangsters. It has become very easy.
In a large number of cases, it was seen
that someone who was a gangster abroad
came to India and started doing business in India.
Cases like this have also come to light. This is not a new
thing. It is not difficult. It is not a task for gangsters to
enter India and leave India.
Although we talk about many borders, especially the 532-
kilometer border, where
security is very tight, but you see,
let's talk about the 532-kilometer border of Punjab,
which touches Pakistan and India.
In the first circle, there is BSF,
in the second circle, Army, in the third circle, IB,
Military Intelligence, and in the fourth circle,
Punjab Police. In the fifth circle, the intelligence
system, that is, the five circles, it is
very difficult to cross that border
because there is an order from the shoot side. But from
which borders, these shooters,
these gangsters, very easily move from India to foreign countries,
especially Bhutan,
especially Nepal, these places from
where it is very easy, which is
considered a transit border, other areas are
very secret, although I will not tell.
You could have been very important for those who want to leave India,
but you see that
if there is security in those places, that is also a different
matter. Nepal is the only border
where even today Punjab police teams are
stationed there. Chaman and Palania are connected.
Chaman, what information do you have? You have got a lot of
success with GTF. Let's
see what is happening at the moment. Punjab Police has got a lot of
success. The Anti-Gangster Task Force has got
success. In Operation East
Research, the gangster
who is in India has been arrested. The one who is
sitting abroad is Amrit Pal Singh alias Amrit. His
name is Taman. This is the Punjab
Police who brought him from this European country. This is the
first case from a European country. Even the
Punjab Police who arrested him from here and
arrested him. In this fake passport
case, the one who
escaped from India to Punjab. He has been
arrested from Europe and currently the
Anti Gangster Task Force team from Delhi has come to arrest
him and now he is being
deployed in Punjab and there are about
21 cases registered against him and
Jaggu Bhagwanpuria's main hitman who is
also working as a hitman and now he has been
arrested and his name is Amritpal
alias
Dum Gurpal and he has been hiding in Europe for many years and now he has come to India and now there are
21 cases
registered in the whole of Punjab and in
four cases he is on trial
while in 17 cases the investigation is going on and the
case of fake passport is already there. He fled
India through the same fake passport registered in Punjab and reached the
US from there. The
central agency of India along with the
anti-
gangster task force of Punjab Police has
achieved great success and it is being told that he was
caught while fleeing to Ukraine because he
wanted to flee to Ukraine. Punjab Police and the
central agency have been
searching for him for many days and are searching for him in the same country.
Many criminals are gangsters. The
Indian government has
released many gangsters from Punjab. They are also continuously being followed by the
Indian government. The Punjab government is in
touch and in this way, some criminals are caught and they are being
arrested with the help of the Indian government. It is
a great success for the
Punjab government, if the Punjab Police has
got what it has, then Punjab will be involved in this case
and it will be questioned
because the way 21 cases are
registered in Punjab,
thank you very much, thank you very much, if you
registered a case, then the Punjab police got him extradited from Boldova and brought him to
Punjab
because the Punjab police had opened a Red Corner Notice (
RCN). There were many other big
sources. The country's intelligence agency had external
affairs and MH evaluations in a large number of
cases, so the
great success that the AGTF got made this operation
successful.
