Goindwal school in-charge suspended for making students serve snacks
Students were made to serve tea and refreshments to political leaders and others during a recent school function. The incident came to light after a video of it went viral. The department acted on the directions of school education minister Harjot Singh Bains.
The suspension order stated that the school in-charge made the students work as waiters during a function in the school due to which the image of the department was tarnished. During the suspension period, the headquarter of the lecturer will be the office of district education officer (senior secondary), Tarn Taran. In a statement, Bains said that the dignity and respect of students was non-negotiable, adding that such misconduct will not be tolerated under any circumstances.

Gunfire at Sidhu Moosewala Memorial in Dabwali sparks outrage, Lawrence gang claims responsibility
Chandigarh, Aug 5 (UNI) A recent act of vandalism involving gunfire at a memorial statue of late Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala has triggered a wave of anger and sorrow across fans and family alike. The incident, which occurred late at night in the Dabwali region of Haryana, was reportedly carried out by members of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. Unidentified assailants opened fire on the statue erected in Moosewala's memory, causing visible damage and leaving bullet shells scattered at the scene. Authorities have since registered a case and launched an investigation into the incident. Reacting to the attack, Sidhu Moosewala's mother, Charan Kaur, issued a deeply emotional statement on social media, calling the incident a "wound to the soul". 'This is not just an attack on a stone statue,' she wrote in her Instagram post. 'This is an assault on the memory of our son, on the love and respect people had for him.' Charan Kaur expressed deep disappointment over what she described as repeated efforts to erase the legacy of her son. She said that while Moosewala is no longer alive to speak for justice and truth, attempts are still being made to silence his voice and influence. 'My son stood for the rights of the people. Even after his death, efforts are being made to silence his memory. But let me be clear—he cannot be erased. He was a wave, and waves don't die,' she added. In her message, Charan Kaur also warned those responsible that silence from her side should not be mistaken for weakness. 'Our silence is not defeat. Everyone who commits wrong will face justice someday,' she wrote. Soon after the attack, a chilling development followed. Social media posts surfaced, allegedly from Lawrence gang members Goldy Dhillon and Arzoo Bishnoi, claiming responsibility for the act. The posts also contained direct threats to political figures such as Digvijay Chautala and Gagan Kokri, warning them against promoting Moosewala as a martyr. The gang accused these individuals of misleading the public by glorifying Moosewala and threatened 'serious consequences' if such actions continue. Law enforcement agencies are currently verifying the authenticity of the social media posts and assessing the credibility of the threats. Meanwhile, increased security has been deployed at the memorial site and surrounding areas as a precautionary measure. The incident has sparked widespread condemnation from Moosewala's fans, civil rights groups, and members of the Punjabi music industry. Many see this not only as an act of criminal intimidation but also as an attack on the cultural and emotional legacy of a beloved artist. Local residents in Dabwali expressed shock and dismay over the attack. 'This is not just about Sidhu Moosewala. It's about the culture and voice he represented,' said one fan. Sidhu Moosewala, known for his powerful lyrics and raw storytelling, was tragically shot dead in May 2022. His death sent shockwaves through the music industry and his fan base worldwide, especially in Punjab and Canada. Since then, Moosewala has come to be seen by many as a symbol of defiance and youth resistance. The local police have launched a detailed probe into the incident. Forensic teams have collected bullet casings and CCTV footage from the area is being examined. Authorities have neither confirmed nor denied the involvement of the Lawrence gang officially, pending further evidence. Senior police officials stated that they are taking the matter seriously and will pursue all leads to bring the perpetrators to justice. 'We are investigating from every possible angle. No one involved in this cowardly act will be spared,' a senior police officer stated. The state government has yet to issue an official statement on the incident, though political pressure is mounting to act swiftly against organized criminal networks operating across the Punjab-Haryana belt.

In a hard-hitting post on Tuesday, Kaur called the incident an attack on the memory of her son and a wound on their soul. She said that the statue was not merely a piece of stone, but a symbol of the honor and love his fans hold for him. "My son was turning into a sound for the rights of people, and efforts are being made to silence him even after his demise," she wrote. "This attack is like an injury to our soul. The enemies of my son's life are not leaving him even after his demise. You can beat him, but his memory cannot be erased. He is like a movement that will remain forever. I only want to say that one day the guilty will surely get punishment; our silence is not our defeat," she said. The statue, erected by Jannayak Janta Party (JJP) youth wing Haryana president Digvijay Chautala, was the target of gunshots. The incident came to light after Chautala received a threatening video message from a Cyprus-based WhatsApp number about a week ago, showing the firing at the statue. The message also contained a threat that after Moose Wala's killing, his sympathisers would be next.
