Time to hit the road: Karnataka Home Minister Dr G Parameshwara to traffic DCPs

BENGALURU: Traffic DCPs should come out of their office comforts and be on the streets for two hours in the morning and evening, Karnataka Home Minister Dr G Parameshwara has said. Specific DCPs have been appointed for the traffic division, but they are not functioning properly. This issue needs more attention, the minister said at the annual conference of senior police officers in the State Police Headquarters in Bengaluru on Friday. Dr Parameshwara also said that strict action is not being taken against those spreading hate speech and defamatory content on social media. Are you unaware of the dangers this has caused? Should we just remain silent while such incidents occur? he questioned officials, saying that new laws are being introduced to take action against those spreading hate speech and inciting violence. These laws will empower the police to control such incidents more effectively, he added. Karnataka currently ranks 15th in the country in terms of crime rate. We must aim to move to the 20th position the crime rate must come down. Ganja is easily available to college students. It is not enough to just arrest the peddlers letting off the consumers in these drug cases is not right. If drug abuse is not completely controlled, we will face serious consequences in the future, he warned. In Bengaluru, bike wheeling has become a growing menace. Should the High Court instruct the police to stop this? Youths perform wheelies at 3 am. If this is not controlled, it will become a serious issue, he warned. He also expressed concern over an increase in illegal Bangladeshi immigrants in Karnataka. If this is neglected and not brought under control, it will cause major problems. Illegal immigration must be taken seriously, he said. The Communal Violence Control Force has been set up with a good intention. It must be made effective. Police must take keen interest and lead from the front. There must be fear among those inciting communal violence, he added. Police intelligence is not being used effectively. If senior police officials do not receive timely intelligence, how can action be taken? Crucial information must be shared with relevant officers. It is not appropriate to use Special Branch personnel for unrelated duties, he added. Slouch hats to be replaced? Home Minister Dr G Parameshwara also inspected caps used by the police constables of various states, including Karnataka, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Delhi, Goa, Maharashtra and Kerala. There are discussions in the department to change the British-era slouch hats worn by the police constables in Karnataka. The Home Department is yet to take a call on the redesigned police hats for the constables.

BJP appoints state poll officers to oversee organisational elections

NEW DELHI: In a move towards electing its national president, the BJP on Friday appointed two Union ministers and a former Union and current MP as state election officers to oversee its organisational elections in Maharashtra, Uttarakhand, and West Bengal. These elections are a precursor to the much-anticipated election for the partys national president. Dr K Laxman, BJP OBC Morchas national president and the partys National Election Officer (NEO), has appointed Union ministers Kiren Rijiju and Harsh Malhotra, and former Union minister Ravi Shankar Prasad, as state election officers of Maharashtra, Uttarakhand and West Bengal, respectively. They will supervise the election of the state party presidents as well as the election of national council members. Meanwhile, a highly reliable senior source indicated that the party is, in all probability, expected to announce its new national president by July 15, after the appointment of state presidents in several states, including Gujarat, Uttarakhand, Telangana, Tripura, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, and others, as part of the build-up to the national election. Sources hinted that Punjab and Delhi may receive their new state presidents after the election of the new national president. The announcements for Gujarat and UP may take place between July 4 and 11. The BJP central leadership is intent on completing the organisational election process as soon as possible ideally between July 15 and 20. It prefers completing the exercise before the Monsoon Session of Parliament, scheduled to begin on July 21 and end on August 12. The session is expected to be stormy, with debates on several contentious issues. The top priority now is to elect the state presidents for Telangana and Andhra between July 1 and 5. Tripura is also expected to get a new state President between June 29 and July 2.

Food scene spices up in Anna Nagar

If there is one thing that Anna Nagar takes seriously, it is food. With restaurants and cafes in nooks and corners of the area covering every cuisine and introducing world-class flavours from time to time, the neighborhood has cultivated a diverse food culture. Whether its a family dinner or late-night dessert, residents of this locality know exactly where to go, and their thirst for new options is never-ending. On Friday morning, the beats of chenda melam echoed on the 12th Main Road, signalling the arrival of a new, yet established name to the neighbourhood; Nandhana Palace, an Andhra-style restaurant chain that has an exclusive following across two major states of the South Bengaluru and Chennai. This marks the Nandhana Palaces 27th branch overall and its fifth in Chennai. The customers kept asking when wed open a branch in Anna Nagar, and their questions have finally found answers, said R Ravichandar, chairman and managing director of Nandhana Group. Natti biryani To mark the grand opening, the restaurant introduced a special dish, Natti Biryani, a rustic take on everyones favourite, prepared in home-style tradition. It sounds different, right? asks Martin excitedly, general manager of the Nandhana Group. This Natti biryani is different from other biryanis in terms of colour and taste. Unlike the usual biryanis, this biryani is similar in colour to pudina (mint). He adds that the consistency across branches is maintained through a centralised kitchen where spice blends and masalas are prepared and dispatched to branches. A team of chefs from Andhra Pradesh who have been with Nandhana Palace for over 20 years, bring authentic flavours to every plate. Besides the Natti Biryani, Ravichandar said that there are many other surprising new additions to the menu for the customers, both vegetarian and non-vegetarian. The inauguration was attended by several dignitaries, including Kalanidhi Veeraswamy, MP, Chennai North, MK Mohan, MLA, Anna Nagar, KT Venkatesan and KT Srinivasa Raja, MDs of Adyar Ananda Bhavan, GV Sampath, chairman, Naurvi Hospital, and N Devarajan, chairman, Chennai Public School, among others. With the new branch now open, Anna Nagars foodies have one more stop to add to their bucket list.

MoRTH to frame IRC guidelines after adopting new-age machines for faster highway construction

NEW DELHI: After the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) decided to adopt Automated and Intelligent Machine-aided Construction (AIMC) for highway development to ensure timely project completion, it announced that Indian Roads Congress (IRC) guidelines will be prepared based on feedback from contractors and concessionaires. The ministry has already sanctioned atleast 16 projects, where innovative machines will be used. According to the officials, Cabinet approval is awaited for 10 projects envisaged for implementation of AIMC system. With a significant growth in the national highways network including a significant increase in Greenfield and Brownfield highways with high embankments requiring a significant amount of earthwork and proper compaction in the last one decade, it has been felt appropriate to induct AIMC in highway construction, said officials. The decision to formally adopt the system was taken after evaluation of efficacy in a pilot; Lucknow-Kanpur Expressway Project, where in GPS-aided Motor Grader, Intelligent Compactor and Stringless Paver were used. The ministry also took into consideration the feedback from stakeholders and international guidelines and specifications. The ministry has also sought feedback on adoption of AIMC to formulate IRC guidelines, added officials. Officials added that the ministry would facilitate the concessionaire or contractor with the required license for the radio frequency range from the Department of Telecommunication (DoT) for the use of machines. The list of projects, which are already sanctioned, includes Western Bypass Gwalior (29 kms), 6-lane Greenfield Ludhiana Bypass (25 kms), Deoghar Bypass (49 kms), Shillong-Silchar Corridor (167 kms), Vrindavan Bypass (15 kms) and Patna-Arrah-Sasaram (125 kms) in Bihar. The projects which have been submitted for the Cabinet approval are Satellite Township Ring Road of Bengaluru (STRR) Karnataka (144 kms), BadveI Nellore Corridor (108 kms) in Andhra Pradesh, 4-lane access controlled Sirhind-Sehna section of NH-205AG (107 kms) in Punjab, and Nashik-Ahmednagar- Solapur-Akkalkot segment of the Surat-Chennai Expressway (374 kms). The ministry, in December, sought feedback from roads construction agencies, public work departments in states and union territories and other stakeholders on the proposal for adoption of the construction facilitated by innovatory. The benefits of AIMC are expected high adherence to design specification, improved rideability, performance durability and longevity and reduced wastage as well. The technology-driven construction also increases productivity, helps in real-time documentation, brings better transparency and minimises human interventions.

Why did CPM not protest Pinarayis detention during Emergency, asks Goa Governor

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Goa Governor P S Sreedharan Pillai severely criticised the CPM for not protesting against the arrest and detention of Pinarayi Vijayan during Emergency. Pinarayi Vijayan was beaten up and detained in his innerwear. I wonder why was there no protest by the CPM in its stronghold Kannur against this. It was fear, he said. Pillai was speaking at the release of his two books here on Tuesday. The function was attended by Kerala Governor Rajendra Arlekar and Andhra Pradesh Governor Syed Abdul Nazeer. Pillai said his book on Emergency gives due credit to Pinarayis fight because justice should be done. My publisher has uploaded 10 pages of my book on Rediff. In that Pinarayi is featured in his innerwear and it reached the world over. The biggest beneficiary of my book is Pinarayi, he said. Pillai said the only organisation which took to the streets against Emergency was the Lok Sangharsh Samiti which had the backing of RSS. Around 8,000 people under the Samitis banner protested without fearing arrest or jail. Still, it is not mentioned in Emergency-related articles by mainstream media, he said. All media succumbed to the pressure of Indira Gandhi fearing arrest. Only Ramnath Goenka was an exception. He was a fighter, Pillai said. Pillai criticised Pinarayi for misinterpreting facts in his media address recently. Constitutional supremacy is a cornerstone of modern democratic governance, said Syed Abdul Nazeer.
