Video 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.

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.

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 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.

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.
