A Survey Of Foot-Over-Bridges Revealed Lack Of Regular Checks
A survey of foot-over-bridges at 13 stations along 32 kilometres between Thane and CSMT revealed lack of inspection deadlines and regular checks. With the majority of maintenance schedules showing April 2019 as the final inspection date, November 2019 as the next due date, situation points towards a lack of seriousness by the railways and raises passenger safety concerns. Earlier this year, IIT-B and Railways conducted a joint safety audit of all 445 road-over-bridges, FOBs on both the Central Railway and Western Railway lines to improve facilities and focus on commuter safety. Thereafter some bridges were demolished, and accountability boards were put on all FOBs along with the inspection schedule. All this was done after the CSMT bridge collapsed this year to gain public confidence and set accountability. The board mentions important parameters such as the condition of the bridges, the person-in-charge, the last inspection date and the due date for the next inspection. Out of the 19 stations between Thane and CSMT, a media agency visited the 13 busiest. It was found that at least eight FOB due dates at five stations had expired. While some stations have updated boards, some do not have boards. While the board of the CSMT mentions that the last inspection was done this month and the next is scheduled for December 2020 and certified as safe for public use, the inspection dates at the south-end bridge of the mosque station.

Story Of Bar Owners Troubled By Police In Mumbai
City bar owners dared to blow the lid off one of Mumbai's worst-kept secrets. Policemen bullying the bar to close the path before the deadline and made their patrons and managers uncomfortable with their presence inside the complex. The issue seems to be in disbelief that the top brass for local police stations. Taking a nap by the chief of police, it appears that there are galvanized local police, mainly in the western suburbs, to flex their muscles with massive restaurants and bars. More than 50 victim owners have come forward to protest against the highness of the police, who say they are posting constables on their premises, which sometimes force them to close shop by 9 pm. In a city where a majority allow their hair to be posted only at 10 am, the over-the-top measure has left moderation in view of the high losses in business. For a force that is short-staffed, this is an unnecessary wastage of manpower. For over a decade, it has been struggling to fill 3,000-odd vacancies. Nevertheless, it continues to deploy precious personnel for unnecessary jobs unnecessarily. The reason this time is that during the surprise inspection initiated by the Chief of Police, the deadline of 1.30 pm to the local police was not strictly enforced. Does the expiration of a deadline justify precious manpower wastage? When these infantrymen can be deployed for law and order, why should they waste their thumbs inside the bars for hours? Another reason given is the prevention of 'illegal activities,' in which no one is able to tell what these illegal activities can be. On the face of it, it seems that the police have returned to their favorite activity, moral policing. It cannot top the list of law enforcers. By all means, monitor the bars and restaurants if you must, but inconsistently. The strong-arm strategy will only be counterintuitive. It would be prudent for constables to enforce the law where needed, which is certainly not inside bars and restaurants.

CM Kejriwal Launched Free Wifi Plan In Many Areas Of Delhi

Kejriwal said that people in the country are "scared" because 70 percent of the people have no documents to prove their citizenship.

I hope the situation will return to normal soon and the internet services will be back again." He said that the revised citizenship law is not required and the government needs to focus on employing youth. "I urge the central government to fold hands to not bring this law at this time," he said. Telecom operators on Thursday suspended Internet, voice and messaging services in parts of Delhi-NCR following police instructions to protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act. The Chief Minister expressed concern that the law and order situation is deteriorating day by day not only in Delhi, but across the country. He said that seventy percent of the people, especially the poor, have no documents to show and they fear that they will be expelled from the country. Kejriwal said that the Aam Aadmi Party government has fulfilled all the promises made to the people of Delhi in the 2015 assembly elections.

Во втором матче 1/16 финала финала Кубка EKV "Минчанка" в гостях проиграла швейцарскому "Viteos" - 1: 3, но выиграла "Золотое событие" 15:13 и вышла в следующий раунд, передает корреспондент. Первое командное противостояние состоялось 4 декабря в Минске. Победа осталась у влюбленных - 3: 0. Однако результат не в полной мере отражает происходящее на сайте. Только в первой игре тотемы Виктора Гончарова имели неоспоримое преимущество (25:11). Во втором и третьем игрокам «Минканки» должны были приложить все усилия, чтобы склонить чашу весов в их направлении (26:24 и 25:22). В начале следующего сета было приятно наблюдать за игрой «минчан»: команда повела 3: 0, 8: 4, 11: 8. Постепенно инициатива перешла в руки соперников, которые сравняли счет на табло - 14:14. С большим трудом гости увеличили преимущество до 5 очков, а затем обидно разрешили визави уравновесить результат, а затем проиграли (25:27). Это означало, что группа ожидала «золотой вечеринки». За это время команде из Беларуси удалось добиться положительного результата 15:13 и перейти в следующий раунд.
