    Roadside DHABAS are the few collection points to these police.Whoever found weak lost to police cases.
    You wear that lovely PRESIDENTS medal on the LEFT pocket and it looks nice.I too wear it but on the right pocket hidden as I did grasped it in the year 1970-71 awarded by then the President of India F.A.Ahmed.I find my medal is light and has no value in the District of then the South Kanara.

    A week ago I visited the place wherein the IG Bungle is located. When I was proceeding from the Excise Building towards Helicopter landing place at Mary hill side I found that some lorries were unloading wastage on the road side there. No check either by MCC or excise or police. Immediate attention required by the new IGP.
