Panjab University sticker blame game: Departments point fingers at security office, rollout stuck
Chandigarh: At Panjab University, what was meant to be a smooth rollout of QR-coded vehicle stickers has turned into a classic case of campus miscommunication, with departments claiming they submitted student data in May but security office not accepting it. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now As classes resume, the promised system to regulate campus traffic remains tangled in a bureaucratic blame game. Despite two circulars, one issued on April 4 by the registrar and another on July 2 by the Dean University Instruction, the process to collect and verify data of vehicles belonging to students remains incomplete. The university had directed all departments and offices to submit verified vehicle details by April 18 initially, and later extended the deadline to July 4. The vice-chancellor, according to officials present in a meeting on July 10, expressed strong displeasure over the confusion and lack of basic coordination between departments and the security office. She said the sticker system, involving QR codes and mandatory identity-vehicle linkage, was a serious disciplinary reform meant to regulate vehicular access on campus and prevent misuse or duplication of passes. The meeting, conducted by vice-chancellor Prof Renu Vig with department heads, concluded with a final deadline: all departments must submit complete, RC-verified student data by July 21. Further delay, it was made clear, will not be accepted. Meanwhile, the dean students welfare (DSW) office has completed preparations. Stickers for four- and two-wheelers will be issued at Rs 50 apiece after verification. Students have already been interviewed under the 'Earn While Learn' scheme to assist with linking sticker data to student records. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now "We are fully ready. The process can begin as soon as the departments provide the data," said DSW Prof Amit Chauhan. Until then, university gates continue to rely on outdated gate passes and physical IDs- a far cry from the secure, tech-enabled access system that was promised. BOX- VC CRACKS WHIP A meeting chaired by Prof Renu Vig on July 10 revealed just how far the implementation has veered off course. Many department heads claimed that they had already submitted student data in May but were turned away by the CUS office, which allegedly said that stickers for students were not yet available. Others admitted they had not verified Registration Certificates (RCs), which must show that the vehicle is owned by the student or their immediate family.

Panchkula traffic cops issue over 41k challans this year, helmetless riders top list with 16k violations
Written by Aishani Chauhan and Divyanshi Thakur Over 41,000 challans have been issued by the traffic police in Panchkula so far in 2025. Two-wheeler riders without helmets account for the highest number of violations, reflecting a continuing disregard for road safety among commuters. From January 1 to June 18, the traffic police booked 16,763 riders for helmet violations and 816 for drunk driving. Between January and May, 11,815 challans were issued for pollution certificate-related offences, 5,699 for tampered number plates, 3,955 for driving on the wrong side, and 1,101 for missing Registration Certificates. Other common violations include 614 cases in which violators did not wear seatbelts and 278 instances of jumping red lights. A traffic police official said most challans are now issued through CCTV surveillance rather than through on-ground patrols. Of the 473 CCTV cameras installed across roads and intersections in the city, 365 are currently functional, while nearly 100 are defunct. Sunil Kumar, Station House Officer (SHO-traffic), Panchkula, said, 'The Municipal Corporation handles the maintenance and functioning of the CCTV cameras. A new tender for their maintenance is currently in process.' On manpower and mobility, the SHO said, 'We have 94 personnel, including one inspector and a woman assistant sub-inspector, posted across the city. There are 14 motorcycles with us, mostly used for VVIP duties or emergency traffic management. If needed, we can request more resources. We are able to manage day-to-day operations smoothly.' To curb drunk driving, six dedicated checkpoints—three in Panchkula city and three in Kalka and Pinjore—operate four days a week. 'If a driver's blood alcohol content is above 30 ml, we issue a challan. If it is above 100 ml, we impound the vehicle,' Kumar said. On average, 24–25 challans are issued daily during these checks. With accident-prone zones like the newly constructed Ghaggar bridge under scrutiny, the department is planning to install new traffic lights. 'Tenders have been finalised,' SHO Kumar said. The police also plan to introduce smart traffic lights that automatically adjust signal timings based on real-time flow, similar to those used in Chandigarh. Expressing concern over helmet violations, Kumar said, 'They are our biggest headache. Most of the violators are young people who care more about style than safety. They don't realise the risk they pose to themselves and others.' He added, 'People aren't concerned about their safety because they lack awareness. They not only disregard their own lives but also endanger others.' The department, he said, remains committed to using technology and infrastructure upgrades to make Panchkula's roads safer.

Police bust interstate auto robbery syndicate, recover 8 high-end cars
New Delhi: The Delhi Police Crime Branch has busted an interstate syndicate involved in the theft and resale of high-end vehicles, a statement said on Friday. The gang used a sophisticated modus operandi to sell stolen cars through online platforms by forging documents, opening bank accounts with fake identities, and tampering with engine and chassis numbers. In a series of coordinated operations, the police arrested a key member of the gang and recovered eight luxury vehicles. According to Delhi Police, the breakthrough came with the arrest of Rakesh Patel alias Pappu (38), a core operative of the syndicate, near Sahibabad Railway Station in Ghaziabad on April 21, 2025. Acting on a tip-off, police apprehended him while he was attempting to sell a stolen Maruti Wagon-R via an online platform. Patel, a resident of Sahibabad, Ghaziabad (UP), and originally from Mohiuddin Nagar, Samastipur (Bihar), played a central role in managing theft operations and delivering stolen vehicles across states. His associates arranged vehicles, counterfeit documents, and fake number plates. The gang's method was notably elaborate. After stealing a car, they searched online car-selling portals for vehicles of the same make, model, and colour. Using open-source information, they identified details of genuine owners and forged documents in the owner's name -- featuring the photograph of one of the accused. They also opened bank accounts using these fake identities. To avoid detection, the syndicate would tamper with the stolen car's engine and chassis numbers to match those of the legitimate vehicle. Fake Registration Certificates (RCs) were then prepared, making the stolen car appear genuine. Once the vehicle was thus 'cloned,' it was listed for sale on online platforms. The syndicate targeted high-demand vehicles, often choosing cars parked in low-surveillance or roadside areas. The police noted the gang's use of advanced technological tools to support their operations. A team led by Inspector Arun Sindhu of the Crime Branch spearheaded the investigation, which led to the arrest and recovery of the stolen vehicles.
