Unauthorised Hookah parlors in Hyderabad were raided last night by the police. The raids were conducted jointly by the West Zone police and Banjara Hills police. They arrested 30 men and women in such raid on a hookah parlor at Road No.10, Banjara Hills on Sunday night. The centers are alluring youth by drowning them in a dream world to which minors are also getting addicted. Although there is no specific law to book them, section 21 and 76 of City Police Act are invoked that prescribes a punishment of imprisonment for 3 months and a fine of Rs.100/-. But, an advocate says, they are getting away with an imprisonment for a day or two. Police consider the laws related to cigarette and tobacco products but even those laws do not allow sever punishments. Police are also Section 41 and 102 of Criminal Procedure Code to seize the articles in the Hookah Centers so that the activity at least will come to a halt with that at that center. -SriJa

After the horrified incident at Bangalore ATM in which a woman was brutally attacked the city police is alarmed and wanted to beef up the security measures at the ATMs. Hyderabad City Police Commissioner Anurag Sharma had a meeting with the representatives from the Government and private Banks today in his office. He suggested that CC cameras and security alarms are necessarily be installed in all the ATMs. Officers of the Banks attended the meeting expressed their opinion in the issue. A number of ATMs were closed at Bangalore on Monday and Tuesday that are not complying with the security measures suggested by the Bangalore police. A suggestion is found on the circulation on the social network in this matter which is appended here. When a thief forced you to take money from the ATM, do not argue or resist, you might not know what he or she might do to you. What you should do is to punch your PIN in the reverse... Eg: If your PIN is 1234, you punch 4321. The moment you punch in the reverse, the money will come out, but will be stuck into the machine half way out and it will alert the police without the notice of the thief. Every ATM has it; It is specially made to signify danger and help. Not everyone is aware of this. SHARE THIS TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS -SriJa
