Illegal parking

 

Why e-challans are no deterrent to illegal parking

 

Extract:

 

The article highlights the ineffective nature of e-challans in deterring illegal parking, as stated by a traffic expert. The issue of illegal parking has escalated to such an extent that residents of Tilak Nagar sought intervention from the Bombay High Court in 2022.

 

Experts suggest that the core problem lies not in parking itself but in the concept of free parking. This revelation sheds light on the challenges faced in managing parking violations and the urgent need for innovative solutions to tackle this issue effectively.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My Take:

 

How to Earn Rs 1 Lakh Crore from Parking…………14/02/2018 

 

In my previous blog post, I proposed a comprehensive solution to generate revenue from parking fees by implementing a technology-based system that eliminates human intervention.

 

Reflecting on the current scenario regarding illegal parking, it's evident that the lack of efficient enforcement mechanisms like the one I suggested has led to the persistence of this issue.

 

By revisiting this solution proposed years ago, it becomes apparent that predictive measures could have alleviated the current challenges surrounding illegal parking.

 

Discussing the un-implementable nature of certain schemes due to the potential for corruption, my blog highlighted the pitfalls of ineffective policies.

 

Drawing parallels to the current situation of ineffective e-challans in curbing illegal parking, it is evident that unless practical and corruption-proof strategies are adopted, the problem persists.

 

By emphasizing the need for sustainable and efficient solutions, such as the technology-driven system proposed, we can address the root causes of illegal parking more effectively.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Call to Action:

 

To the authorities responsible for traffic management in Tilak Nagar and other areas facing similar challenges, it is imperative to consider and implement innovative, technology-driven solutions to combat illegal parking effectively.

 

By adopting transparent and automated systems, the authorities can not only deter parking violations but also streamline revenue collection processes.

 

It's time to transition from traditional enforcement methods to modern, corruption-resistant solutions for sustainable urban parking management.

MMOPL Launches new taptap wristband for metro one passengers.

 

Extract:

 

In a significant move, Mumbai Metro has introduced the TapTap wristband as a novel ticketing option for Metro 1 passengers.

 

This wristband allows commuters to swiftly access the metro by scanning a QR code at the entry point, with a price tag of 200 rupees.

 

With over 4 lakh passengers utilizing the Versova-Andheri-Ghatkopar Metro 1 line, this innovative ticketing approach is set to streamline the commuting experience for many.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

My Take:

 

 Tap In / Tap Out….18/02/2023

 

"The integration of digital ticketing systems in public transport, such as the Tap In/Tap Out feature in Mumbai's e-double decker buses, showcases a step towards modernizing transportation infrastructure.

 

Back in 2016, I emphasized the shift towards air-conditioned buses, the implementation of Bus Rapid Transit Systems (BRTS), and the necessity of real-time bus arrival indicators.

 

The introduction of such digital solutions not only enhances commuter convenience but also aligns with the vision of efficient public transportation systems."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

A Rose By Any Other Name….22/04/2022

 

"The advent of digital bus passes with Tap In/Tap Out features in Mumbai's eco-friendly buses signals a progressive shift in urban mobility. In my 2016 blog post, I highlighted public transport as a sustainable solution and the importance of technological advancements in reducing pollution.

 

The evolution towards seamless ticketing experiences and the integration of digital innovations like BHIM and ARJUN into transit systems echo the continuous drive towards a more efficient and environmentally conscious public transport network."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Call to Action:

 

To the Mumbai Metro authorities, I suggest exploring further technological advancements to enhance the commuter experience, such as integrating contactless payment systems or introducing personalized travel recommendations based on commuter usage patterns.

Unveil his India investment plans!

 

Tesla CEO Elon Musk to meet PM Modi during India visit to disclose investment plans

 

 

Extract:

 

The article discusses Tesla CEO Elon Musk's upcoming meeting with PM Modi during his visit to India to reveal investment plans. Musk is set to invest $3 billion initially and is looking at potential plant locations in Gujarat and Maharashtra.

 

This strategic move by Tesla signifies a significant step towards establishing a presence in the Indian market, showcasing the growing importance of India in the global political and economic landscape.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

My Take:

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

LET US GO ALL OUT TO WELCOME……11/02/2017

 

In the earlier blog post, the emphasis on welcoming Elon Musk and Tesla's initiatives with open arms resonates profoundly with the current scenario of Musk's crucial meeting with PM Modi.

 

The eagerness expressed back then to embrace Tesla's entry into India now materializes as Musk prepares to disclose substantial investment figures.

 

It underscores the significance of fostering international collaborations and attracting foreign investments, reflecting a proactive approach towards economic growth.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Call to Action:

 

To PM Modi and government authorities, seize this opportunity to facilitate a conducive environment for Tesla's investments and ensure a smooth transition into the Indian market.

 

Embrace innovation and sustainable practices, supporting Tesla's endeavors that can pave the way for technological advancements and economic prosperity in the country.

Hallucinating Hemen ?

 

 

On “ Prepare for JEE – NEET – CET “ page of www.My-Teacher.in


, it reads :


“ Over 294 Quintillion Unique tests. Yes, our system can generate more than 294 Quintillion unique test papers from our extensive question bank , ensuring no two tests are ever the same “


{  294  Quintillion  =  294,000  Billion  }


Is Hemen hallucinating ?


There is only one way to find out


Dear Teacher ,


Ask those 40 students in your Class-room to pull out their mobiles and follow this instruction:


Ø In mobile browser, type / access,  www.My-Teacher.in


Ø Select “ Prepare for JEE – NEET – CET “


Ø Proceed to Next page


Ø Select >  Language = English / / Exam = JEE  //  Subject = Physics

Ø Click “ Generate “


Now let them compare those 10 Questions ( each with 4 Multiple Choice Answers ) with one another


Sure , here and there, two students may come across “ one “  question which is same on their mobiles – but never all TEN QUESTIONS


Implication ?


If this was to be a EXAM SCENARIO, there can be NO COPYING , even if two adjacent sitting students were permitted to consult each other !


It is about time that NTA { National Testing Agency } , scale up this SIMPLE TECHNOLOGY and let 24 lakh NEET aspirants , take that exam ,


Ø From their HOME


Ø Any time chosen by each of those aspirants


Ø On their MOBILES


Ø Using FACE RECOGNITION ( on their phones ) – coupled with Aadhar-Password – OTP- Unique Candidate Number ( pre-assigned )


Ø Automatic Test Expiry after predetermined time

 

Ø Instant declaration of TEST SCORE ( which www.My-Teacher.in does )


I hope following takes note of this :


Ø National Test Agency { genadmin@nta.ac.in / genadmin@nta.ac.in }


Ø Shri Dharmendra Pradhan ( Central Education Minister )


Ø Shri Chandrachood – Hon Chief Justice of India ( supremecourt@nic.in )
