How could our brave soldiers fight the Chinese army on
Ladakh border if the only weapon they could use, is a lathi ( stick ? )
I got to think about the similarities between the
situation at Ladakh and the situation prevailing on the roads of Mumbai, for
the past 2 days
3 days back, Mumbai Police issued following “
Guidelines “ to its citizen :
“ You can travel beyond 2 km from your residence,
only if you have to go to work or in case of any
emergency “
Here is what happened :
Ø Nakabandi at 137 places across the city
Ø 30,072 vehicles stopped and checked ( ? )
Ø 8,000 vehicles impounded
on Sunday ( day 1 )
Ø 16,000 vehicles impounded on Monday ( day 2 ) / 72 % were 2
wheelers
Senior inspector Mahendra Nerlekar of
Jogeshwari police station said,
“People are roaming unnecessarily. Some
said they thought the lockdown is over.
When we stop them, they say that they
are going to office or to a hospital to meet their kin, but fail to show us the papers, owing to
which we are forced to act against them,” Nerlekar said.
I pity the police . I have greater pity for
those citizen who have / had , good reasons to go beyond 2 km from their
residence
A “ fair and just “ dispensation of this ( temporary
, no doubt ) rule would require that the following “ necessary / sufficient / verifiable / foolproof “ data is available
to the Police person who is stopping a vehicle ( or a pedestrian ) :
Ø ( Who ) Identity of the person
- through Mobie-based
Aadhar Card / Arogya Setu App on mobile phone of the
traveler
/ facial recognition app on
the mobile phone of the Police person, which is
connected
with face photos of 1.3 billion citizen in a Central Database in cloud /
CCTV cameras mounted all over the City etc
Trissur Police Department just introduced this
type of surveillance
News came in this morning that Central
Government has banned some 59 Chinese
Mobile Apps, some of which were already transmitting to its
manufacturer /
developers , such kind of PERSONAL TRAVEL DATA ,
without the knowledge of the
300
million Indian Users of these apps
Ø Where precisely is his residence ? Where exactly police stopped him for
questioning ? How far away was
that ( questioning ) location from his residence ( > < 2 Km ) ?
All of these
data must not become a matter of “ My word against your word “ – since wrong /
inaccurate interpretation could result in a culprit getting away by lying or an
honest person telling truth may get victimized
I strongly recommend
that Police release a Mobile App { Me-Locate ? } based on API provided by :
====================================================
Dear Shri RaviShankar Prasadji,
I believe the
Central Government is keen to replace
the 59 Chinese Mobile Apps with equivalent ( or better ) , Indian
designed-developed-supported apps
My limited
understanding is that most of those Chinese Apps were devoted to,
Ø Gaming
Ø Videos
Ø Shopping
Ø Messaging….etc
While drawing up a list of PRIORITIES for developing Indian mobile apps,
I urge you to ignore the idea of mere one-to-one , “ Replacing
“ and focus on development of those Apps which will make life EASY
for our citizen by offering e-Services
Although not comprehensive , following e-mail sent
earlier, would help draw up those priorities :
An
App for Everything ? ………………………………….[ 18 Aug 2017 ]
