Punjab Police On Military Parade By Apkirat Singh....NSI News Source Info # 562

Punjab Police Academy & Fort Phillaur Brief History ~ Prior to the enforcement of Police Academy of 1861, the Punjab Police Force known as “Military Police Force” consisted of 8100 men; 5400 being infantry formed into six Battalions and the remaining 2700 cavalry. Punjab, the sword-arm of India, however, needed a superior force for its internal administration. The Police Act of 1861, came into force in Punjab with effect from the 1st January, 1890. Soon there after the Provincial Government gave serious thought to training.
The art of prevention and detection of crime, an essential attribute of a Police Officer was, more or less, left to the school of experience. The contemplated force had, of course, to be rough and tough to match with the turbulent, strong, hardy and proud people of this land. At the same time, it had to be amiable and well acquainted with the knowledge of the law of the land. Thus there arose the need of a Police Training School.
School Established. The police Training School was established in the Phillaur Fort by a Home Department notification dated the 9th September, 1891, with a meager staff under Mr. J.M. Bishop, I.P., Assistant District Superintendent Police. The School started functioning with effect from the 1st January,1892. Thus Punjab was the first state in the country which established such a school. Most of other such training schools were established after the report of the Police Commission, appointed in 1902, had been published.
The Phillaur fort is the principal and outstanding land mark of the school and has a fascinating history behind it. Built on one side of the Grand Trunk Road, it has a fascinating historical back-ground. The town of Phillaur in which this fort is located owes it origin to a Sanghera Jat, Phul, who named it after himself as “Phulnagar”. The Naru Rajput of Mau, a township nearby, had cast covetous eyes on Phillaur and eventually, under their Chief Rae Shahr, they wrested it from the Jats. Rae Rattan Pal, the son of Rae Shahr, liked it so much that he abandoned Mau and settled in Phillaur. The Jats then left the place.
Subsequently, at some period unknown, the Rajputs also deserted it. Nothing is known thereafter until the reign of the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan (1627-1658) when an imperial Sarai was built at Phillaur. Subsequently, the town was occupied by Kattar Sikhs and held until Mahraja Ranjit Singh (1780-1839) seized all the Kakar Estates. After the collapse of the Mogul Empire, Maharaja Ranjit Singh sent Dewan Mohkam Chand,about the year 1809, to take possession of the Imperial Serai and converted it into a formidable Fort with the help of his French or Italian officers, namely Generals Ventura, Allard, and Avitabile. It was built in reply to the British who had built a small Fort at Ludhiana on the remnants, said to be, of an old Lodhi Fort and to guard the ferry of Phillaur. The British occupied this Fort in 1846 after the Sikhs were defeated in a battle fought a Aliwal. Phillaur, Thereafter, became a Cantonment and Fort remained under the charge of Army authorities till 1890, when it was handed over to Civil authorities and has been used thereafter as a Police Training School.

The Blissful Scene Of Hong Kong By Robie Seth....NSI News Source Info # 533

Hong Kong is one of the two special administrative regions of the People's Republic of China; the other is Macau. Situated on China's south coast and enclosed by the Pearl River Delta and South China Sea, it is renowned for its expansive skyline and deep natural harbour. With land mass of 1,104 km2 (426 sq mi) and a population of seven million people, Hong Kong is one of the most densely populated areas in the world. Hong Kong's population is 95% ethnic Chinese and 5% from other groups.
Under the principle of "one country, two systems", Hong Kong runs on economic and political systems different from those of mainland China. Hong Kong is one of the world's leading international financial centres, with a major capitalist service economy characterised by low taxation, free trade and minimum government intervention under the ethos of positive non-interventionism. The Hong Kong dollar is the 9th most traded currency in the world.
Hong Kong's independent judiciary functions under the common law framework. Its political system is governed by the Basic Law of Hong Kong, its constitutional document. It has a burgeoning multi-party system, and its legislature is partly elected through universal suffrage. The Chief Executive of Hong Kong is the head of government.
Hong Kong became a colony of the British Empire after the First Opium War (1839–1842). Originally confined to Hong Kong Island, the colony's boundaries were extended in stages so as to include the Kowloon Peninsula and the New Territories by 1898. It was occupied by the Japanese during the Pacific War, after which the British resumed control until 1997, when China regained sovereignty. The Basic Law stipulates that Hong Kong shall enjoy a "high degree of autonomy" in all matters except foreign relations and military defence.
