Tamil Nadu Women Cops To Get 1 Year Maternity Leave: Chief Minister MK Stalin

Women police in the state force will be entitled to one year's maternity leave, and upon resuming work they will be posted at a place of their choice for three years to nurture their children, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin said on Friday.

It may be recalled that after capturing power in 2021, the DMK government enhanced the period of maternity leave for its employees from nine months to one year.

"Women police will be given one-year maternity leave and after returning to work, they will be posted either at the place of their husband or parents, for three years, to take care of their children," the chief minister announced after distributing the President's medals, Union Home Minister's medals and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister's medals to meritorious police officials and personnel at Rajarathinam stadium here.

This gesture was being extended at the request of personnel in the police department, he said.

Additionally, the professional skills of women police will be enhanced to tackle crimes against women and children so that they can handle cyber crimes effectively, the Chief Minister said.

"Your duty and responsibility is very huge. You must protect the people. Discharge your duties with dedication and serve not only to reduce crimes but also to prevent crimes," he urged.

Tamil Nadu should be transformed into a state free from drugs and crimes, Stalin said. "Arrest the offenders if any violation takes place, he advised." He was happy to note that the state is leading in diverse fields, including industrial development, as the law and order are being maintained well.

प्रादेशिक सेना की प्लेटिनम जयंती पर सियाचिन ग्लेशियर से इंदिरा प्वाइंट तक एक्सपेडीशन

प्रादेशिक सेना (Territorial Army) ने लद्दाख के सियाचिन ग्लेशियर से अंडमान और निकोबार द्वीप समूह के इंदिरा पॉइंट तक के सफर का अभियान शुरू किया है. इसमें साइकिलिंग, नौकायन और स्कूबा डाइविंग के जरिए जमीन, हवा और समुद्र के रास्ते लगभग 5,500 किलोमीटर की दूरी तय की जाएगी. यह अभियान टेरिटोरियल आर्मी के प्लेटिनम जुबली वर्ष के उपलक्ष्य में आयोजित किया जा रहा है। नौ अक्टूबर 2024 को प्रदेशिक सेना की स्थापना के 75 साल पूरे हो जाएंगे.

इस अभियान में शामिल 21 सदस्यीय दल को 30 जुलाई को सियाचिन ग्लेशियर से रवाना किया गया था. अभियान दल 21 जुलाई को नई दिल्ली पहुंचा. यहां उसने राष्ट्रीय युद्ध स्मारक पर श्रद्धांजलि अर्पित की. अभियान दल को आज नई दिल्ली में इंदिरा पॉइंट तक की आगे की यात्रा के लिए लेफ्टिनेंट जनरल राकेश कपूर, उप सेना प्रमुख (सूचना प्रणाली और सहयोग) ने हरी झंडी दिखाई.

एक्सपेडीशन दल पूरे देश में साइकिल से सफर करते हुए चेन्नई पहुंचेगा. वहां से टीम अंडमान और निकोबार द्वीप समूह जाएगी. निकोबार द्वीप समूह से दक्षिण की ओर यात्रा करने के बाद यह अभियान इंदिरा प्वाइंट पर समाप्त होगा. वहां भारत के सबसे दक्षिणी छोर इंदिरा प्वाइंट पर पानी के नीचे तिरंगा फहराया जाएगा.

टीम द्वारा राष्ट्रीय एकता, पर्यावरण चेतना, अपनी सेना को जानें आदि मुद्दों पर जन जागरूकता गतिविधियां भी चलाई जा रही हैं. अभियान दल उन दिग्गजों और सैन्य कर्मियों के परिवारों को सम्मानित कर रहा है, जिन्होंने कर्तव्य पूरा करते हुए अपने प्राणों की आहुति दी है. टेरिटोरियल आर्मी की पूरे देश में व्यापक उपस्थिति है. नागरिक-सैन्य संपर्क को बढ़ावा देना भी अभियान के उद्देश्यों में से एक है.

प्रादेशिक सेना अधिनियम 1948 के अधिनियमन के बाद 1949 में प्रादेशिक सेना (टीए) की स्थापना की गई थी. पिछले कुछ दशकों में यह एक बड़े बल के रूप में विकसित और विस्तारित हुई है जो भारतीय सेना द्वारा संचालित सभी क्षेत्रों में संचालन में अंतर्निहित है. टीए ने भारतीय सेना के सभी प्रमुख अभियानों में सक्रिय रूप से भाग लिया है और कई पुरस्कार अर्जित किए हैं. टीए ने राष्ट्र निर्माण, पर्यावरण प्रबंधन में भी महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभाई है.

Security Of Wrestlers Withdrawn, Alleges Vinesh Phogat. Cops Respond

Olympian Vinesh Phogat has accused the Delhi Police of withdrawing the security cover of the women wrestlers who will be testifying against former Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) president Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh tomorrow. The Delhi Police has denied the charge.

"Delhi Police has withdrawn the security of the women wrestlers who are going to testify against Brij Bhushan in the court," wrote Ms Phogat on X.

Responding to the former wrestler's tweet, the Delhi Police has clarified that the concerned personal security officers (PSO) reported late to duty after the force requested Haryana Police to take over the security responsibility.

"The security provided to the wrestlers hasn't been withdrawn; it was decided to request Haryana Police to takeover the responsibility in future since the protectees normally reside there," said Deputy Commissioner Of Police New Delhi on X, adding, "The assigned Delhi Police PSOs misunderstood this decision and got delayed in reporting today. The situation has been rectified. Security cover continues."

Meanwhile, the wrestlers approached a Delhi court which directed the city police to immediately reinstate the security cover.

The court was hearing applications filed by senior advocate Rebecca John appearing for the wrestlers, claiming that their security was withdrawn on Wednesday night. It directed police to file a detailed report by Friday regarding the reasons for the withdrawal of the applicants' security.

Vinesh Phogat, who recently hit headlines over her disqualification from the Paris Olympics, was in the public eye last year for leading a long-running protest against Mr Singh, who was then a BJP MP.

The protesting wrestlers were demanding his resignation and sought the dissolution of the WFI. The WFI denied all allegations against its president.

After the intervention of the Sports Ministry, all WFI activities were suspended and assistant secretary Vinod Tomar was sidelined.

The police had filed a First Information Report (FIR) and later a chargesheet against Brij Bhushan Singh.

Mr Singh is being tried on accusations of sexual exploitation and intimidation, charges he denied.

A Delhi court, in a May 10 order, found sufficient evidence to proceed with the charges of sexual harassment and outraging the modesty of five female wrestlers against the former WFI chief. The next hearing in the case is on Friday.

'Told Amit Shah I Want To Act In Around 22 Films': Union Minister

Actor-cum-politician Suresh Gopi said on Wednesday that if he is removed as Union Minister of State for acting in films while holding his ministerial post, he would consider himself "saved".

Mr Gopi also said that he has requested permission to commence shooting for the film 'Ottakomban', but has not received it yet.

"But I will start shooting for it on September 6," he said.

The Union Minister of State for Petroleum, Natural Gas and Tourism said that there were 20-22 films he really wished to do after hearing the script, and has agreed to act in them.

When he sought permission from Union Home Minister Amit Shah to act in the films, he was asked how many.

"I said around 22. On hearing that, Amit Shah set aside my request letter. But he said permission will be given. Anyways, I will be here on September 6," Mr Gopi said while speaking at an event held here by the Kerala Film Chamber of Commerce.

He said that he will bring three or four officials from the ministry along with him to help him carry out his ministerial duties and for that special arrangements would have to be made on the film sets.

"All this I want to do. So, if they remove me for it, I would consider myself saved. That is all I can say," he said.

Mr Gopi said that he never wished to be a minister and still does not desire it.

"I bowed to their (his leaders) decision to make me a minister after they said that they were giving the post to me for the people of Thrissur who voted me to power and not for myself. I accepted that decision.

"I still obey my leaders and will continue to do so. But without my passion (cinema), I will die," he said.

AI To Help Detect Tuberculosis Based On Cough Sounds: Google

In a bid to fight the rising burden of tuberculosis (TB) in India, Indian startup Salcit Technologies is exploring the use of Google's Health Acoustic Representations (HeAR) model to enhance early detection of TB based on cough sounds, the tech giant said on Tuesday.

In a blog post, Google said that its HeAR bioacoustic foundation model is trained on approximately 300 million pieces of audio data, and in particular roughly 100 million cough sounds. It can help extend screening for TB more widely across India, the company said.

The Hyderabad-based Salcit Technologies will use the HeAR model to build on research for its product Swaasa, it noted.

Launched in 2020, Swaasa uses an AI-driven algorithm that can assess if human lungs are abnormal.

HeAR was introduced in March 2024 and is designed to help researchers build models that can listen to human sounds and flag early signs of disease.

"Compared to blood tests and imaging, sound is by far the most accessible piece of information that we can get about a person. HeAR can pick up chest x-ray findings, tuberculosis, and even detect Covid from cough sounds," said Sujay Kakarmath, a product manager at Google Research.

"In places where access to advanced medical resources is scarce, we can imagine a future where a healthcare professional with a machine learning model and a phone can collect a sample of your sound and inform clinical care. With HeAR, we hope that researchers will be able to discover new acoustic biomarkers a lot faster," he added.

The Stop TB Partnership, an UN-hosted organisation dedicated to ending TB by 2030, also supports this approach.

"Solutions like HeAR will enable AI-powered acoustic analysis to break new ground in tuberculosis screening and detection, offering a potentially low-impact, accessible tool to those who need it most," said Zhi Zhen Qin, digital health specialist with the Stop TB Partnership.

The blog post said that Google is inviting researchers interested in exploring HeAR's potential to request access to the HeAR API.

Through its research, Google hopes to keep helping advance the development of future diagnostic tools and monitoring solutions that assist improved health outcomes for communities around the globe.
