Will Northeast cVIGIL App Guard Against Poll Malpractices Like Kerala?

 

Will Northeast guard against by poll malpractices that Kerala had cent percent used successfully during 2019 and this year 2021 bringing down dark side of various parties when cVIGIL app goes active in the state?

 

Yes, in Northeast now cVIGILapp is active where on fresh picture and video upload basis against malpractices of Model Code of Conduct (MCC) by any party candidates the voters can intimate with surveillance teams.

 

This makes every voters potential like the administration if they play actively with honest intention in uploading correct information regarding violence and violation of expenditure that are against Model Code of Conduct practices, where of now Kerala is the only active state in using potentially this app with 64,000 complaints by 2019 Lok Sabha election with filter of 58,000 genuine cases.

 

Once the image or video with detail highlighted in the app, the information comes under the scrutiny of district control room, Statistic Surveillance Teams, returning officer and field verification unit such as flying squad to help them take swift action against genuine cases and help conduct fair polls.

 

Public of Kerala had used cVIGIL app as weapon to discard fraud political activities during poll process and presently more than 11000 complaints are active to help field verification unit to investigate on the charges and reach the spot on time for prompt reaction. But whether such action could be seen here in Northeast and voters’ active usage of this app is another matter as fresh is the case about cVIGIL app.

 

This election Commission app cVIGILp contains GIF (Geographic Information System) technology along with automatic location signal to help analyze right spot for the surveillance squad to take prompt right action as per public complaint. But how fairly this cVIGIL app to proof fruitful in Northeast only time will tell as smart phone is not popularly used by the population here apart from active participation and awareness about fair poll with MCC code of conduct?

Indian users are also receiving the threat of liberty while operating on certain social media apps that is quite an insult to many victims who feel unworthy investing their precious time, energy and money on such social networking sources.

If they are debarred from downloading and uploading their materials and conveying expression through such media then it is like losing one’s right to express. For such platforms have aced people on their professional front and helped them become an expertise to sell their ideas even though the government could not fetch answer to the million jobless in India to earn an image in the society according to majority of people in the country.

Companies which dictates on employees who even after having potential talent are not provided exposure and to grow equally with the rest, now can the million of social media users settle with such  maximum standard of companies in India?

Crimes and criminals account have become overrated in a poor nation like India, can anyone set limitation on them for snatching people’s right for building their empire illegally.

Assam Police DG Kuladhar Saikia Has Initiated Bold Step To Familiarize With Public For Effective Operation

Recently Director General of Assam Police Kuladhar Saikia has initiated a step ahead efficient plan for effective combat against law breakers for proper regulation of the system where this time much emphasis was given to open and friendly interaction with its major constable staff and public.

To break the ice and melt the tough front of police force this new initiative by Assam Police has been taken so that junior staff shows more integration with Seniors to carry out operation with proper level of understanding. But public fails to understand when they approach responsible police officer in charge for proper answer to the ongoing irregularity in the system then the response always does not come in the expected manner.

Now in the case of “Maa Kamakhya” during Ambubachi Mela had witnessed a shocking incident of human sacrifice which is not the first case in its premise. Now as normal public if the matter is put forward to the concern officer in charge the answer commented, “We are processing into the matter.” While sometimes the answer comes with statement, “It is a political defamation case to bring disruption in the peaceful process of top religious event of India.”

But the point is that public on international not only on state level cannot easily get through such answer as everyone knows criminals are still absconding and such evil trantric system is still occupying strong favor in all high to low level people. It is true even the public is a responsible for giving edge to such system and practice in various fields due to which human threat has not ceased. 

Question is whether such inhuman culture should be prevailed in our system and how a victim can come over such mental or psychosis or virtual attack? What level of security force should be arranged to overcome such hurdle in life to set for normal livelihood?

Is Assam Prepared For Ropeway Challenges Before Ensuring Enjoyable Ride?

Assam's major ropeway project is nearing to completion but whether people are aware about the challenges in this attempt to relish aerial cable car service from Switzerland based technology?

Gulmarg, Kashmir single ropeway cable car crash took seven lives though technically being on safety norms as it was due to the act of natural calamity the misfortune occurred. The reason simply because the wind in the open space high altitude of the Jammu ropeway route intensified that lead to tree uproot on the other end of the terminus which collided with the cables and snapped connectivity.This incident occurred way back in 26^th June, 2017.

Two years gap after similar car crash mishap had occurred but on contrary in a different scale which was completely a technical “ERROR”. The under construction ‘Mock Rescue Drill’ for inspection that carried six workers in the single cable  car had crashed down due to technical failure which lead two deaths and four serious injuries. Interestingly, few days later the Indian Prime Minister Narendar Modi was suppose to inaugurate this auspicious moment of ropeway operation to boost pilgrims to travel fast to Mahamaya Temple apart from the rest travelers. But due to what “technical maya or mystery” the Jammu ropeway car crash occurred at the site near to Mahamaya temple is still not clear.

Darjeeling Ropeway 2003 case where four tourists died due to single cable snap that instantly plummeted to two aerial cars to the ground, the state forest and public works department ministers under which this project was initiated conducted a meet for extra edge initiative for next safe resume of the operation. During the inspection of safe ropeway initiative the forest and public work ministers had involved a PWD engineer and teachers from two Kalyani Government Engineering College who had detected technical ‘ERROR’ in the trail run. Later after 9 YEARS gap the operation was resumed in 2012 over 70 00 feet range area filled with dense forest, mountain ridges, waterfalls, green valley including tea estates that reflects higher intensity threat if the ropeway cable snaps due to weight issues or natural calamities.

Darjeeling, mechanical engineer Vijay Gupta mentioned, “India is yet to trend on the latest safe technology of four cables cable car for dangerous terrain and safe resilient rescue net as in Japan’s Takao Chairlift single ropeway opened way back in 1959 (ideal example of safety).”

Engineer Sudipta Biswas from Kolkata had marked with concern stating, “Garaventa AG, Switzerland carriage and rescue system technology do have four cable cars but it is a costly matter as it will supersede the present cost of 56 crore ropeway project and so we could see single strength cable cars in Guwahati, Panbazaar terminus near to Nehru Park by the side of Brahmaputra bank.”

Marking on safety measure in ropeway implementation Sudipta Biswas marked, "There is highest challenge from mighty river Brahmaputra as against single cable ropeway which is to become India’s longest two way terminus point. Matter of point is not the pride of being the longest ropeway in India but the safety of the thirty one passengers boarding on Brahmaputra ropeway cable car, ready to face the challenge to pass through rough river wind, strong swelling river current underneath during flood and sharp stony layers during river water recede to meet their destination in North Guwahati. Under intense ropeway usage will Guwahati ropeway capacity of 250 (Persons Per Hour) endure without causality is a doubt. Not to talk about future trial version about Panbaazar ropeway as casualties followed in this years’ Jammu cable crash with six passengers on board."

Assam origin business man Vikas Jain based in Japan pointing on technology had added, "Looking into Brahmaputra’s futuristic challenges the answer lies in Japanese Technology based Kita Yatsugatake Ropeway as it adapts to modern needs. Low height based cable cars ropeway with much capacity powered wires to withstand greater people accommodation. Eventually has less percentage of unpredictable wind knock out and wire snap. Japan development authority has higher sense to counteract ropeway disaster keeping in full knowledge to overall challenges now we cannot expect the same outlook from Assam Metropolitan Development Authority, fresh on ropeway challenges. On greater futuristic outlook single cable car ropeway of reversible system over Brahmaputra is not approval."

Will Brahmaputra Board and MCLMA Effort Make Majuli An Ideal Organic Destination?

Recently Majuli has come out with a new strategy to advance the district on economic and cultural front by stressing Brahmaputra Board and the Majuli Cultural Landscape Management Authority (MCLMA) bodies to extend support in its organic dream plus tourism and culture advancement.

Majuli Island Protection and Development Council (MIPADC) chairman Dr. Arun Kumar Sharma a former MP stressed on the effectiveness of the two bodies in advancing its potential tourism aspects and strengthening its culture value.

MIPADC head Arun Kumar focusing on Majuli’s virgin aspect requested that the government of Assam to take initiative in declaring it as an organic didtrict and also emphasized to support development projects in the world’s largest riverine island that do not violates its popular Neo- Vaishnavism including other ethnic cultural values.

Majuli islanders’ main source of living is its natural resources and farming where because of rich soil support  once it was recognized as the biggest organic food supplier in entire Assam. But this scenario was prominent when erosion did not hit the islanders so hard with intensified flood. Now river terminus for boat and ferry transportation is hit hard due to anti-erosion project that is affecting the district’s advancement process since there is no route network via vehicle or air.

Today Majuli has extensive challenges to retain its soil quality due to incessant flood and erosion. Will alone financial and external support from various welfare bodies enable to help grow its organic dream is a big question.
