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...

BJP stages sit-in for OBC scholarship

BJP MLAs during sit-in protest by BJP near 
collectorate for release of OBC scholarship. 

Hundreds of college students under the banner of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Tuesday launched sit-in protest in front of Collector office, demanding disbursement of scholarship amount of OBC, VJ/NT and EBC students. The protest named as ‘Thiyya Andolan’ will continue round the clock.

The protest was launched on Tuesday afternoon in presence of BJP state general Secretary and MLA Devendra Fadanvis and MLA Nana Patole. Mayor Anil Sole, Former MP Banwarilal Purohit, MLAs Sudhakar Deshmukh, Krishna Khopde, Vikas Kumbhare were prominently present on the dais. Addressing students MLA Fadanvis lashed at the state government for not disbursing scholarship to OBC and VJ/NT students.

Many OBC and VJ/NT students have been forced to quit the course by the private college authorities after scholarship amount was not disbursed by the government during last two academic sessions. Total Rs 1,400 crore are yet to disbursed to students, Fadanvis added. Scholarship is our right and government is trying to terminate our right, he claimed.
Fadanvis alleged that the ministers say that centre has not released the funds and hence they are not providing the same to the students. This happened with other States as well but, other States paid from their own kitty and then claimed reimbursement, Fadanvis added.

Nana Patole said that education is our right and scholarship is basic need for OBC and VJNT. Non Creamy Layer has been created by the government to disturb peace between SC, ST, OBC and VJNT. Patole demanded for increase in income limit of non creamy layer level upto Rs 7 lakh and informed that agitation on same lines will continue at Bhandara, Gondia and Gandhichori. Government is befooling us by passing buck to Centre, Patole alleged.

MLA Sudhakar Deshmukh said we want our basic right and not against anyone. Government should give promotion to OBC in government sector, Deshmukh demanded. MLA Chandrashekhar Bawankule, Krishna Khopde, Vikas Kumbhare and Mayor Anil Sole urged OBC and VJNT students, who are facing problems due to lack of disbursement of scholarship, to participate in the agitation.

Deputy Mayor Sandip Jadhav, former Mayor Archana Dehankar, Pravin Datke, BJYM President Bunty Kukde, Deven Dasture, Chhotu Bhoyar, Pramod Pendke, Prabhakar Yewle, Shivani Dani and others were present on the dais. The protest will continue on Wednesday.

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...
