AI Joins the Force: Maharashtra Police Deploys ‘Crime-OS’ for Smarter Investigations

By
By Dheeraj Fartode  Imagine a police officer uploads an FIR and within seconds, an AI assistant begins planning the investigation. It write official letters, scan bank data and spot suspicious transactions. It sounds like science fiction - but it’s now reality in Maharashtra. The state police have started using Crime-OS, a powerful Artificial Intelligence (AI) tool developed under the MARVEL project (Maharashtra Research and Vigilance for Enhanced Law Enforcement). This tool, built in partnership with the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Nagpur, works like the co-pilot feature in Microsoft Office - but to solve crimes. It helps police save valuable time and reduces the heavy workload of investigations. Assistant Superitendent of Police (ASP) Deepak Agrawal explained that police investigations usually take a lot of time and effort. Crime-OS is designed to ease that burden. “For example, if a fraud case FIR is uploaded, the tool automatically picks out important information. It t...

All parties legislatures demanded Maratha reservation

By

Legislators of Maratha community engaged in a show of strength on Tuesday by staging a sit-in on staircase of Legislative Assembly building to demand inclusion of Marathas in Other Backward Classes (OBC). Their also pressed for immediate fulfillment of promise made by Democratic Government about memorial to Chhattrapati Shivaji Maharaj in Arabian sea. Legislators gathered at staircase of Legislative Assembly carrying placard and shouted slogans for inclusion of Maratha community in OBC list. They were wearing special T-shirt with logo of Maratha Arakshan (Reservations for Marathas).

Convenor of agitation Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) MLA Vinayak Mete while talking to newspersons said “The economic plight of community is quite miserable and Maratha community is agitating since long for their demand to be included in list of OBCs.” However the State Government has not yet taken any steps to accept our contention. “We are demanding 25 per cent reservation for Maratha community and the demand is pending since the Sena-BJP rule. Mete also questioned the delay in construction of grand memorial to Chhattrapati Shivaji Maharaj in the Arabian sea, as promised by Congress-NCP during their previous term.
State President of Bhartiya Janata Party Sudhir Mungantiwar said that many leaders of Maratha community had become Chief Ministers but the community has not made all round progress. Dissatisfaction among youngsters of community is increasing hence government should immediately accept the demand, Mungantiwar said while supporting the cause of Maratha’s inclusion in OBC.

Leader of Opposition in Legislative Council, Vinod Tawde said that government’s has failed to honour its commitment and said government will be asked reasons for delay in House. The agitators also demanded extension of reservation benefits to economically backward Brahmins, Muslims, Christians, Marwaris, Jain and those from Gujrathi community.

Legislators Anil Bhonsle, Bhai Jagtap, Dr Deepak Sawant, Jitendra Awhad, Bala Nandgaonkar, Bharat Gogavale, Mahadeo Babar, Ramesh Thorat, Bhimrao Tapkir, Rajendra Shingne, Pravin Darekar, Satish Chavan and others were part of the agitation.

    The movement of Maratha reservations is just naked display of majoritism. Poverty exists in all castes and religion and so cannot be means of claim for reservation which are based on social backwardness. It is fact that they dominate the political,economical aspects of Maharashtra and even if someone says it is controlled by few families it's the people of Maratha caste who vote for them again and again. Evene beggers are better because they ask for things and dont snatch them by using power.. Marathas might get reservation because they have power but will loose respect from other caste people

      I am from Maratha Kunbi Community from Maratwada, i know what we had suffered from 25 years. My parents worked hard to raise us, we had no support in relation to Education and Govt. Job's (b,coz of Reservation). As far private jobs are concern, those are offered to highly educated people from Good Family.

IGP Prasanna : The man who stopped Obama’s convoy

By
IGP Mallikarjuna Prasanna By Dheeraj Fartode  Published on Feb/17/2019 NOT many are aware of an episode during the then US President Barack Obama’s visit to India in 2010. The world’s most powerful man was made to wait for 11 minutes in his car while an Indian cop took on American officials for their unwarranted interference in the US President’s security. KM Mallikarjuna Prasanna, Special Inspector General of Police of Nagpur Range, still continues to work with the same pride, wearing his patriotism on the sleeve. “Had they (Americans) deployed their personnel for area security, then the message would have been Indians are unable to protect VIPs in their nation,” recounted Prasanna on the episode that is one of the highlights of his distinguished career of a skillful investigator. The story of the IPS officer of 2000 batch is worth a film. In fact, a movie (Nagarjun-starrer ‘Officer’) has already been made by Ram Gopal Verma last year. His real life script als...

Longest cable-stayed bridge to boost tourism at Ambhora

By
CONSTRUCTION work of 700-metre-long cable-stayed bridge, longest in the country, with a viewing gallery at the top at Ambhora in Kuhi tehsil is near completion. The bridge would be open for traffic in December this year providing a major boost to tourism at Shree Chaitanyeshwar Mahadev temple at Ambhora. It is set to open doors of development for the backward area of Kuhi and Umred tehsil. Ambhora, located 75 km from Nagpur city, is a famous religious and tourist place in Vidarbha. It is situated at the confluence of five rivers -- Wainganga, Kanhan, Aam, Kolari and Murza. Just around a decade ago the river bank housing Ambhora used to see a flux of tourists from all over the State. However, the banks were submerged in water after the construction of Gosikhurd dam which led to rise in water levels. Since then, tourist flow at Ambhora has also declined. However, now with the construction of the new bridge tourists will get a chance see the scenic backwaters across the river bed which is...
