Integrated command, control centre to beef up security watch in Bhubaneswar
'With over 900 CCTV cameras installed in different parts of the city, the CCC offers a robust monitoring mechanism from a single corner,' said a BSCL official. He said the CCC proves to be of huge help in monitoring the movement of vehicles on arterial roads and major junctions which makes it even more useful in tracking any kind of notorious activity.
Considering the current situation, the CCC could also be used to divert traffic of a particular location or create a green corridor in the event of any emergency, he said. The integration of display boards, installed at different locations in the city, with the CCC will also prove handy for the authorities in using the facility to disseminate any message to public or raise awareness among them on something.
Officials said the central command and control centre has already proven its usefulness in enhancing surveillance and service delivery through coordination among different departments during the Pravasi Bharatiya Divas conclave in January. BSCL officials said apart from a dedicated control unit of the Commissionerate Police, they also made the CCC accessible from the City DCP office to make the surveillance and service delivery mechanism even more effective.

Bullet cops to add muscle to Bhubaneswar's city's traffic management
BHUBANESWAR: Commissionerate Police is planning to add muscle to its vehicular fleet by procuring Royal Enfield Bullets for carrying out various traffic duties in the capital city. It has submitted a proposal to the state government to procure 50 bullets for its traffic wing at an estimated cost of Rs 75 lakh. Once procured, the bullets will be deployed for various traffic duties like piloting VIP convoys, clearing road congestion and conducting various enforcement activities. Police said they planned to procure the bullets as they have an upright riding posture that is both commanding and comfortable. This apart, they have cushioned seats, perfectly-positioned foot pegs and well-adjusted handle bars which will provide the traffic personnel an easy ride on the city roads without making them fatigued. Sources said the Commissionerate Police's traffic wing lacks adequate motorcycles to carry out enforcement activities in narrow lanes where the patrolling cars cannot reach, and the new addition will give them more teeth.

One of Canada's biggest Universities cancels coding competition: It is clear that many ...
Representative Image The University of Waterloo has made the unprecedented decision to cancel the results of its annual Canadian Computing Competition (CCC) due to widespread suspected cheating involving artificial intelligence (AI). As first reported by The Logic, the university cited a "significant number of students" who breached the competition's regulations. In a statement, the university expressed its disappointment, noting that the rule violations would negatively impact deserving students. Officials added that they are actively "considering possible ways to address this problem for future contests." The University of Waterloo is among the biggest Universties in Cananda. The University of Waterloo's Centre for Computing and Math took this action after discovering numerous instances of students submitting code that was not their own. The CCC is a crucial event for many aspiring students, as strong performance can significantly enhance their applications to Waterloo's highly regarded computing and engineering programs. Furthermore, the competition serves as a pathway for students to qualify for teams representing Canada in international informatics competitions. The CCC attracts talented students globally, drawn by the opportunity to strengthen their prospects of admission to Waterloo's competitive STEM fields. The university boasts a distinguished alumni network in these areas, including prominent figures such as RBC Chief Executive Dave McKay, BlackBerry founder Mike Lazaridis, and Social Capital CEO Chamath Palihapitiya. The cancellation underscores the growing challenges educational institutions face in maintaining academic integrity in the age of increasingly sophisticated AI tools.

For this year's contest, however, we will not be releasing official results. The reason for this is the significant number of students who violated the CCC Rules. In particular, it is clear that many students submitted code that they did not write themselves, relying instead on forbidden external help. As such, the reliability of 'ranking' students would neither be equitable, fair, or accurate. The consequences of not releasing official results will come as a disappointment to the majority of students who wrote the contest with integrity and honesty. It is disappointing that the students who violated the CCC Rules will impact those students who are deserving of recognition. We are considering possible ways to address this problem for future contests.
