Punjab Govt Takes Strict Action over Security Lapse During Prime Minister Modi's Visit
Negligence in Prime Minister's Security: Punjab Government's Decisive Move Leads to Suspension of Key Officials
PM Modi Security Lapse Case Latest News: In a significant development, the Punjab government has taken robust action against security lapses during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit, leading to the suspension of seven police officers. Among those suspended is the former SP (Operations) of Ferozepur, Gurwinder Singh, along with two DSPs, three inspectors, and one ASI, all held accountable for dereliction of duty.
The security lapse occurred on February 5, 2022, when Prime Minister Narendra Modi was en route from Bathinda to Hussainiwala in Ferozepur for a rally. Farmers obstructed the highway with tractors, leading to a blockage and a 20-minute halt for PM Modi's convoy. Eventually, due to the road not being cleared, the Prime Minister had to return. Expressing his gratitude upon reaching Bathinda airport, PM Modi remarked, "To thank your Chief Minister, say that I am returning alive." At that time, the state was under a Congress government, with Charanjit Singh Channi serving as the Chief Minister.
List of Suspended Officers:
The Officials facing suspension include the then SP Gurwinder Singh, DSPs Prasun Singh and Jagdish Kumar, along with Inspectors Jatinder Singh, Balwinder Singh, Jaswant Singh, and ASI Rakesh Kumar.
The Swift and decisive action by the Punjab government underscores the commitment to maintaining the highest standards of security, especially during high-profile visits. The suspensions send a clear message about accountability and the paramount importance of safeguarding the security of the Prime Minister and other dignitaries.
