Digital Desk | Gandhinagar, Sep 9 (IANS) Gujarat Police registered 74,242 cases of wrong-side driving and over-speeding across the state, collecting fines totalling Rs 5.33 crore, as part of a month-long traffic enforcement drive in August. According to the state police, 36,159 cases of wrong-side driving were registered during the period from August 1 to 31, with fines of Rs 3,64,52,000 collected. Another 38,083 cases of over-speeding resulted in fines of Rs 1,69,26,900. The combined figure was 74,242 cases and Rs 5,33,78,900 in penalties. The enforcement drive also targeted illegal parking on highways and major roads. Police registered 10,408 cases of illegal parking on national highways and 20,813 cases on state highways and other roads during the month. In addition, 5,078 cases were registered against vehicles obstructing traffic, while direct action was taken against 580 vehicles. The police said the enforcement forms part of wider measures aimed at improving road safety and addressing traffic violations that can increase the risk of accidents. Wrong-side driving and excessive speed were specifically targeted during the August campaign. The focus has now shifted to vehicle number plates. Director General of Police (DGP) Gyanendra Singh Malik has ordered a statewide drive from September 1 to October 14 against vehicles being driven without number plates or carrying tampered, unclear or otherwise unauthorised number plates. The police said accurate identification of vehicles is important for preventing vehicle theft, supporting crime detection and maintaining law and order. The new drive will target vehicles without number plates as well as those with plates that have been altered, obscured or do not comply with prescribed requirements. The stated objectives include strengthening vehicle identification, helping trace stolen vehicles and preventing the potential misuse of vehicles in criminal activities. State Traffic Branch SP V. Sahitya appealed to motorists to ensure that their vehicles carry valid, clear and properly formatted number plates in accordance with Regional Transport Office rules. Officials also urged motorists not to tamper with number plates, to remain within prescribed speed limits and to drive only in their designated lanes. Road safety is not only the responsibility of the police administration but also a shared social responsibility of every citizen, they said. They urged motorists not to drive on the wrong side of the road and not to park carelessly on national or state highways and major roads in a manner that obstructs traffic. Ctizens must comply with traffic regulations and contribute to safer roads across Gujarat, they added. The latest enforcement comes against the backdrop of continuing efforts by authorities to curb dangerous traffic violations. Ahmedabad police, for instance, have previously conducted dedicated enforcement drives against wrong-side driving, including registration of cases against motorists found violating the rule. The Gujarat Police's latest statewide figures put the scale of enforcement in August at more than 74,000 cases for just two categories of violations, while the separate number-plate campaign is set to continue until October 14.

AI grain analysers introduced to ease paddy procurement in Gujarat
Digital Desk | Gandhinagar, Sep 7 (IANS) Gujarat has used artificial intelligence to assess paddy quality at 10 procurement centres across four districts in a pilot aimed at making purchases under the Minimum Support Price (MSP) scheme more transparent and consistent. The Gujarat State Civil Supplies Corporation deployed AI-based grain analysers during the Kharif Marketing Season (KMS) 2025-26 at centres in Ahmedabad, Mahisagar, Anand and Panchmahal districts. The pilot recorded 13,334 registrations, with 6,191 paddy samples subsequently assessed using the AI systems. Of the samples analysed, 3,379, or 54.6 per cent, were classified as Grade-A, while 2,812, or 45.4 per cent, were classified as Common. A total of 341 samples were rejected. Dholka recorded the highest rejection rate at 24 per cent, whereas no samples were rejected at Viramgam. The 10 centres were Lunawada and Santrampur in Mahisagar; Khambhat and Borsad in Anand; Dholka, Bavla, Viramgam and Sanand in Ahmedabad; and Godhra and Shehera in Panchmahal. Registrations were highest at Khambhat, with 2,663, followed by Lunawada with 2,278. The AI grain analysers assess samples for foreign matter, damaged or discoloured grains, immature or shrunken grains, admixture and moisture content. The system requires uninterrupted electricity and one operator at each procurement centre. The Corporation said its existing third-party grading arrangement requires two people to collect samples and undertake grading using scientific equipment, including in situations where electricity is unavailable. The state currently procures wheat, paddy, maize, jowar, bajra and ragi under the MSP system through survey and grading agencies. Wheat and rice are procured according to Food Corporation of India standards, while grains procured under MSP follow Uniform Specifications prescribed by the Central Government. The Gujarat State Civil Supplies Corporation is the states nodal agency for procurement of notified commodities at MSP from farmers when market prices fall below the support level. The Corporation said its quality-control framework extends beyond procurement. It procures and distributes wheat, rice, paddy, bajra, jowar, ragi, tur dal, gram, groundnut oil, double-fortified salt and M-30 white sugar. For tur dal, gram, edible oil, sugar and double-fortified salt, it has prescribed quality standards that it says are stricter than Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) requirements. For tur dal and gram, trucks are sealed with single-use wire seals before being sent to warehouses. Samples collected by warehouse managers are then subjected to 100 per cent cross-verification at the Food Research Laboratory through the Quality Control branch of the Corporations head office. The analysis is carried out using IS:4333 (Part I and II):2018 and IS:2813:2015 methods. The Corporation said the combination of AI-based assessment, prescribed procurement standards and complete sample cross-verification is intended to ensure that clean and unadulterated foodgrains reach beneficiaries through government schemes, while improving transparency in the public distribution system.
Gujarat HC grants jailed AAP MLA seven-day temporary bail to attend Assembly session
Ahmedabad, Sep 7 (IANS) The Gujarat High Court on Monday granted seven-day temporary bail to Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA Chaitar Vasava to allow him to attend the Monsoon session of the Legislative Assembly, scheduled to be held from September 9 to 11. Vasava, the legislator from Dediapada (ST) constituency, is currently lodged in Vadodara Central Jail after a Rajpipla sessions court in June sentenced him, his wife Shakuntala and seven others to seven years' rigorous imprisonment and imposed a fine of Rs 25,000 each in a 2023 case involving the assault of forest officials and alleged extortion. The temporary bail will run for seven days from the time of Vasava's release. The High Court has imposed conditions, including that he remain within Gandhinagar and not address the public or the media during the bail period. He is expected to return to jail after the temporary bail expires. Gujarat AAP President Isudan Gadhvi said Vasava had been granted temporary bail in view of the Assembly session. My MLA, respected Chaitar Vasava, is in jail while the Assembly session is being held. In view of this, the High Court has granted Chaitarbhai seven days of temporary bail subject to certain conditions, he added. Gadhvi said that Vasava would remain in Gandhinagar and would have to comply with the restrictions, including the prohibition on speaking to the media. The prosecution case relates to an incident on October 30, 2023, when forest officials allegedly removed crops cultivated on government land near Bogaj village in Dediapada. According to the prosecution, the officials were subsequently called to Vasava's residence, where he allegedly threatened them, slapped one official and fired a pistol into the air. His wife was accused of extorting Rs 60,000 from the officials. The charges included rioting, assault on a public servant, extortion and offences under the Arms Act. Vasava's lawyers have disputed the firearm allegation, saying that no weapon or ballistic report was produced in the case. The High Court had on August 24 rejected Vasava's plea for regular bail and suspension of his sentence. While doing so, the court said that, as an elected representative, he should have guided people towards legal remedies and said that releasing a convicted legislator could convey the impression that people in positions of power were above the law. Shakuntala Vasava and four other co-convicts, who were treated as secondary accused, were granted bail in July. Vasava has not been yet formally disqualified as an MLA. The state government told the court that the invitation to Vasava to attend the Assembly session had been issued in accordance with the rules of the Legislature.

40 teachers across Gujarat honoured with 'State Best Teacher' awards
Gandhinagar, Sep 5 (IANS) Forty teachers from across Gujarat were honoured with the 'State Best Teacher Award' on Saturday at a ceremony held to mark Teachers Day, recognising their contribution to education and the development of students. Governor Acharya Devvrat and Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel presented the awards to the teachers at the state-level ceremony organised by the Education Department. The awardees received certificates of appreciation and cash prizes in recognition of their work. Teachers Day is observed across India on September 5 to commemorate the birth anniversary of former President and distinguished educationist Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan. Addressing the ceremony, Governor Acharya Devvrat extended his greetings to teachers and recalled the importance accorded to the Guru in Indias traditional culture. While a mother gives physical birth to a child, a Guru transforms a disciple by removing ignorance and showing the path of knowledge, he said. The Governor contrasted the emphasis of the education system introduced under Macaulay with the value-based approach of ancient Indian education. He said material prosperity and vocational knowledge alone could not ensure lasting happiness without humanity, compassion, service and devotion towards parents and Gurus. He pointed out that India had made significant contributions to fields including astronomy and mathematics since ancient times. While acknowledging the importance of technological and material knowledge in the present era, he stressed that moral values and knowledge of the self were equally necessary. Sa Vidya Ya Vimuktaye, the Governor said, referring to the principle that true knowledge liberates a person. He cautioned that education without values could contribute to social unrest and decline. Devvrat urged teachers to use a few minutes before their regular lessons each day to impart lessons on the art of living, patriotism, values and respect for parents. He said a balance between technology and culture was necessary to develop the next generation. Education Minister Pradyuman Vaja congratulated the award recipients and their families, saying the best teachers did more than educate children they inspired the coming generation. Vaja said teachers played an important role in developing values, quality, skills and curiosity among children. He described the award ceremony as an effort to honour knowledge and said a society that respected knowledge could progress and build a better nation. Recalling the lives and values of Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan and former President Dr A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, Vaja said: While Parliament and legislative assemblies made laws, teachers shaped the true future of the country in classrooms. He said the Gujarat government, under Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, is working to provide quality education and facilities to children even in remote villages. He urged the education fraternity to ensure effective implementation of the National Education Policy 2020 and help children become capable, sensitive and self-reliant citizens. Earlier, CM Patel praised the service of the teachers receiving the awards and described teaching as a national duty. Teachers contributed to nation-building by shaping individuals, he noted. The Chief Minister also urged teachers to ensure that students were guided in the responsible use of technology while continuing to promote positive values through their speech, conduct and behaviour. Governor Devvrat, Chief Minister Patel, Education Minister Vaja and Minister of State, Rivaba Jadeja, paid floral tributes to Dr Radhakrishnan during the ceremony.

Speaking at the State Best Teacher Awards ceremony held on Teachers Day, Patel said teachers have a key responsibility in shaping individuals and preparing a capable generation that could contribute to the development of Gujarat and the country. Teaching is not merely a profession but a national duty, Patel said, stressing the significant role of teachers in nation-building. He urged the teaching community to continuously upgrade its technological skills as students increasingly remain connected with developments across the world through artificial intelligence, digital technology and Google.

Teachers should also inspire positive energy among students through their speech, conduct and behaviour, he said. He called on them to prepare children and the education system for the future by blending Indias traditional educational heritage with modern technological advancement. The Chief Minister said Prime Minister Narendra Modi had placed education beyond the objective of employment and recognised it as a powerful instrument of nation-building. The National Education Policy has provided a new direction towards skill-based and futuristic education while focusing on the holistic development of students, he said. Patel said Gujarats education sector had also undergone changes under the Prime Ministers guidance, with initiatives such as 'Kanya Kelavani' and 'Shala Praveshotsav' being taken forward as mass movements across the state. Efforts are being made to strengthen education services and facilities for children, he said. The Chief Minister urged teachers to fulfil their responsibility of developing a capable future generation to advance the Prime Ministers vision of Saptadhara for Viksit Bharat 2047. He called for the creation of a Viksit Gujarat that would contribute to a Viksit Bharat through a well-equipped and future-ready teaching community. Governor Acharya Devvrat, who was also present at the ceremony, stressed that education should not be limited to technological and material knowledge. Moral values, humanity, compassion, a spirit of service and respect for parents and teachers are equally important, he said. The Governor said India has been a global leader in subjects such as astronomy and mathematics since ancient times, and argued that knowledge of physical resources and technology needed to be accompanied by knowledge of the self and moral values. He urged teachers to devote five minutes each day before beginning their regular lessons to teaching students about the art of living, patriotism, values and devotion towards parents. Education Minister Pradyuman Vaja said teachers had a vital role in developing values, quality, skills and curiosity among children. The successful implementation of the National Education Policy 2020 would require the education fraternity to help every child become a capable, sensitive and self-reliant citizen, he noted.

Nagarajan, Gujarat Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board Chairman M. A.
