Centre Intensifies Battle Against Cybercrime With New Initiatives. In a significant move to combat the rising tide of cybercrime in India, the Ministry of Home Affairs has intensified efforts through the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C) to ensure a coordinated and comprehensive approach in dealing with various forms of cyber threats across the country. The I4C, established by the Ministry, is at the forefront of this initiative and has implemented several measures to strengthen the capabilities of law enforcement agencies (LEAs) at both the central and state levels. Notable among these initiatives is the creation of seven Joint Cyber Coordination Teams (JCCTs) strategically placed in cybercrime hotspots like Mewat, Jamtara, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, Chandigarh, Vishakhapatnam, and Guwahati. Workshops organised in major cities have facilitated the onboarding of states and union territories, enhancing coordination among LEAs. To provide timely assistance to investigating officers, the I4C has set up the state-of-the-art National Cyber Forensic Laboratory (Investigation) in New Delhi. This facility has already rendered services in around 8,840 cyber forensics, including mobile forensics, memory forensics, and CDR analysis, aiding state LEAs in the investigation of cybercrime cases. The National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal (https://cybercrime.gov.in) has been launched to enable the public to report all types of cybercrimes, with a particular focus on crimes against women and children. In a bid to support women and children, the Ministry of Home Affairs has allocated ₹122.24 crore under the 'Cyber Crime Prevention against Women and Children (CCPWC)' Scheme.

The rescue workers successfully drilled through the 60-meter stretch of rubble blocking the Silkyara tunnel, where 41 workers have been trapped for the past 16 days, as per reports.Bansi Dhar Tiwari, Chief of the State Government's Information Department, announced the completion of the drilling process a little after 1:30 PM today. Subsequently, Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami confirmed taking to social media that the escape pipe had been laid into the drilled passage, expressing optimism that the trapped workers would soon be brought to safety. As per the practiced drill, each worker would lie down on a wheeled stretcher, pulled outside by rescue workers using ropes. This process was estimated to take about two or three hours. Anticipation built up at the disaster site along the Char Dham route before the news broke, with ambulances lined up at the tunnel's mouth to swiftly transport the rescued workers to a community health center, as p[er reports. Lieutenant General (Retd.) Syed Ata Hasnain, Member, NDMA, while talking to media said, "Chinook helicopter is present at Chinyalisaur airstrip.

Chinook can fly in the night but the weather is not favourable for it and there is no urgency as such. If there is urgency, workers can be brought to Rishikesh in 1 or 2 ambulances." "All safety precautions will be implemented. No premature announcements are to be made, it will be against all principles. We also have to take care of the safety and security of people who are rescuing the workers. We are not in any hurry," Hasnain further stated.

JJM And NHM Join Forces For Health And Water Initiatives In Assam . Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM) and National Health Mission (NHM) in Assam have formalised their collaboration through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on Tuesday. The agreement aims to leverage the strengths of both missions to enhance project implementation, particularly by involving Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHA) workers. The convergence of the Jal Jeevan Mission and the National Health Mission is poised to amplify the impact of their respective initiatives. While JJM focuses on providing access to quality water, the collaboration will also contribute to curbing waterborne diseases, ultimately reducing the burden on NHM. The preventive aspect ranges from addressing common issues like diarrhoea to tackling vector-borne diseases such as Malaria and Japanese encephalitis. ASHA workers, being the backbone of rural healthcare, will play a pivotal role in bridging the gap between the missions and the local community. Their established trust and connection within rural areas position them as effective communicators for health-related issues and the benefits of clean water. The collaboration aims to reduce school dropout rates among children and minimize medical expenses for families by preventing waterborne diseases. Minister for Public Health Engineering, Jayanta Mallabaruah, emphasised the correlation between the Jal Jeevan Mission and the National Health Mission, stating that both missions are working in tandem to ensure the well-being of every rural household, as per reports. He expressed confidence that this collaboration would not only complement JJM's goal but also contribute to the sustainability of piped water supply schemes. Keshab Mahanta, Minister of Health and Family Welfare, pledged NHM's full support to the initiative, highlighting its commitment to ensuring the health and well-being of every individual. The collaborative effort intends to go beyond immediate gains and focus on sustained improvements in the health conditions of the rural population.

Indian Army And BRO Complete Bailey Bridge To Restore Connectivity In Lachen. Troops from Trishakti Corps of the Indian Army, with assistance from the Border Roads Organisation (BRO), have successfully completed the construction of a crucial Bailey bridge over Zeema Chu at Zeema, Sikkim. This bridge now reconnects the entire northern side of Lachen, which had been severed since the night of October 3, 2023 during the Sikkim flood. The completion of the bridge is expected to facilitate the seamless movement of vehicles and the provision of relief materials to the vital town of Lachen. The 100-feet Bailey bridge was erected over Zeema Chu, which bore the initial impact of the Glacial Lake Outburst Flood (GLOF). The construction process, carried out by the Trishakti Sappers and BRO, involved the initial construction of abutments followed by the bridge construction. The entire operation spanned approximately three days, with round-the-clock efforts from the engineer troops of the Trishakti Corps and BRO, deploying heavy Earth Moving plants. The completion of the Bailey bridge marks a crucial step in restoring connectivity to Lachen, addressing the challenges posed by the disruption caused by the GLOF.

Jorabat To Get Another Three-Lane One-Way Flyover.
To improve the connectivity and decongest the traffic at the Jorabat junction, a three-lane flyover (grade separator) will be constructed which will be aligned over the existing flyover. A source in the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) talking to GPlus said, “The flyover or grade separator is a part of the Ring Road project and it will take off from Assam police outpost at Jorabat and land at NH 6 connecting Shillong Road.” The source further said that the length of the flyover will be approximately 1 kilometre. It needs to be mentioned that grade separation is a method of aligning a junction of two or more surface transport axes at different heights (grades) so that they will not disrupt the traffic flow on other transit routes when they cross each other. The vehicles plying towards Shillong from Guwahati will take the flyover and the vehicles coming from Shillong side will stick to the same present route. The flyover will decongest the traffic and vehicles going towards Shillong will not have to wait under the present flyover. The DPR for the development of the stretch from Basistha to Jorabat is prepared by Feedback Infra Pvt Ltd, and the design of the flyover is part of the same project. The work of the Ring Road will start before the Lok Sabha elections in 2024, and it has an estimated completion time of 3 years. So, the work of the flyover at Jorabat will also start simultaneously, said the source. It is seen that the area below the present flyover at Jorabat remains water-logged during the rainy season and another flyover at the same junction may further affect the situation, said many locals. Talking about the issue, the NHAI source said that the development project of the stretch will also develop the drainage system of the area to resolve the water logging issue. The total length of the ring road is 120 kilometres and the budget of the entire project is ₹6100 crore. The flyover at Jorabat is covered under the same budget, said the source.
