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...

MIDC returns back NIMZ proposal to acquire 6,000 acre land

By
NIMZ Kuhi Nagpur

National Investment Manufacturing Zone (NIMZ) project proposed at Kuhi will be completed in two phases as first proposal of acquisition of 6,000 acre land was returned back to District administration by Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC). Regional officer of MIDC, Vijay Bhakre confirmed the development and said that the proposal was rejected by the MIDC head office after noticing inclusion of 1,700 acre irrigated land in the said proposal.

NIMZ is an industrial zone spread over an area of 6,000 hectares that comes to almost a quarter of the present size of Nagpur city. NIMZs is being set up in 8 centers throughout the country, expected to drive growth of economy and boost the manufacturing units. NIMZ is being projected as a major catalyst for the region’s growth. However, even as two such zones have been notified in the state the one in Kuhi has only got an in-principle approval. Following the approval, the administration identified 6,000 acre land near Kuhi village and sent proposal to MIDC HQ two months ago.

During scrutiny, MIDC noticed that 1,700 acre irrigated land was included in the said proposal hence, sent back the proposal and asked the administration to identify non irrigated or barren land. The administration has decided to acquire land in two phases i.e. in first phase, proposal for acquisition of 3,000 acre land will be send to MIDC head-office for approval and then administration will search for another 3,000 acre land situated behind land mentioned in first phase. As per governments rule, NIMZ project requires minimum 5,500 acre land.

After approval from MIDC HQ, the proposal will be tabled in meeting of High Power Committee (HPC) of state for approval. When acquisition will be started for the said site, state government will notify to Government of India (GOI) and GOI will talk with international companies for installation of projects at NIMZ.

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...
