Notably, despite Kejriwal already receiving ‘Z Plus’ security from the Delhi Police, the Punjab government had deployed additional Punjab Police security for him.

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and Delhi Education Minister Atishi have written to the Election Commission, demanding the reinstatement of Punjab Police security for Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal.

Addressing a press conference, CM Mann, alongside Atishi, alleged that they do not trust the Delhi Police, as they are constantly being threatened to stop campaigning, and the Delhi Police, under the supervision of Amit Shah, remains a mute spectator.

Notably, despite Kejriwal already receiving ‘Z Plus’ security from the Delhi Police, the Punjab government had deployed additional Punjab Police security for him. However, this additional security was withdrawn yesterday following orders from the Election Commission.

Police say man charged after Alberta youth launch 'catch a predator' scheme

Alberta RCMP say they have arrested and charged a Calgary man who, it was later determined, had been the focus of a ``catch a predator'' sting operation hatched by a group of youngsters. Mounties say the situation came to light in Airdrie on Monday night when a 12-year-old boy was abducted in a car only to escape at a stoplight and call police. The suspect, a 37-year-old, refused to stop for police and was later arrested at a Calgary residence. Subsequently, police said they learned the suspect had been targeted by at least seven youths in a ``catch a predator'' scheme. The you

Costs of Manitoba’s extreme wildfire season start to take shape, evacuations ongoing

The Manitoba government has signed a 30-million-dollar contract with the Canadian Red Cross for evacuee support and other services related to this year's wildfires. The recently disclosed contract is the first glimpse into the cost of this year's wildfire season, which provincial officials say is the most severe in at least 30 years. Finance Minister Adrien Sala (SAH'-lah) says it's still too early to estimate a final cost, and the government is committed to supporting people who need help. The Red Cross contract alone is worth more than half of the 50-million dollars the N-D-P gover

Canada Post heads back into bargaining with union after delay

Canada Post and the union representing postal workers are set to return to the bargaining table today. Plans to rekindle talks late last week were delayed due to a lack of federal government mediators. The Canadian Union of Postal Workers claimed labour unrest at Air Canada was pulling attention from the postal service's dispute, which has stretched on for more than a year and a half. A few weeks ago, unionized postal workers rejected the Crown corporation's latest offer that would have included wage hikes of around 13 per cent over four years and added part-timers to the workforce.
