Chandigarh: Soon, e-Naka app to catch crime in motion
Soon, every vehicle passing through a police naka in Chandigarh will be scanned and recorded digitally. With the launch of the e-Naka app, Chandigarh Police will monitor nakas in real time — from the start and closure timings of each checkpoint, to the number of vehicles inspected.
The e-Naka app is designed to integrate seamlessly with existing platforms like e-Challan, e-Vahan, and e-Sarthi, and help officers to instantly access key vehicle details, including ownership information, pending violations, and whether the vehicle has been flagged as stolen.
All vehicles will be required to have their number plates scanned at nakas. As soon as the plate is scanned, the system will pull up a detailed history of the vehicle. If a vehicle has any pending challans or is connected to any criminal activity, the app will automatically flag it, allowing officers to take immediate action.
Another crucial feature of the app is its ability to log every vehicle checked at nakas, along with the driver's credentials and the actions taken. The app also keeps a digital record of officers' attendance, including their reporting times and how long they spend at each naka, helping to improve accountability and reduce any chances of corruption or negligence.
With the full integration of the e-Challan system, officers will be able to issue fines on the spot for any violations detected during a check.
'The e-Naka application is currently in its trial phase. The system is designed to make nakas smarter, more efficient, and harder for criminals to bypass. We anticipate its official launch soon,' Kanwardeep Kaur, senior superintendent of police (SSP), Chandigarh.

Apple Home Moves Toward Smarter Energy Management with New Developer Tools
While Apple didn't spotlight its smart home ecosystem during this year's WWDC keynote, the company has quietly rolled out promising updates to the Home app—specifically in the realm of energy management. In a recently released developer video, Apple introduced EnergyKit, a new framework launching with iOS 26 and iPadOS 26. Designed for integration with Apple Home, EnergyKit empowers developers to access and utilise energy data to help reduce or shift electricity consumption. The goal? Prioritise the use of cleaner or cheaper energy. For instance, developers can now build smart features that allow an EV charger to schedule charging based on predicted energy prices or let a thermostat dial back its usage during peak pricing hours. Apple refers to this functionality as EnergyKit Guidance, which taps into real-time data like electricity rates and clean energy availability—currently available through the Grid Forecast widget when connected to a utility provider (PG&E is the only one supported so far). This feature expansion means Apple Home could evolve into a Home Energy Management System (HEMS)—a platform capable of monitoring, optimising, and controlling a home's energy consumption. While this vision is still developing, it's already taking root in other ecosystems. Platforms like Samsung SmartThings (with its AI Energy Mode) and Homey by LG are ahead of the curve. Though EnergyKit is designed to route energy data from Apple Home into individual manufacturers' apps, it sets a foundation for future central control directly through the Apple Home app—something that's notably absent today. Currently, Apple Home doesn't support energy monitoring for thermostats or integration with EV chargers. Still, there's reason to believe change is coming. Apple's active role in the Matter smart home standard opens the door for broader device compatibility. Matter has recently added support for key appliances and systems like electric water heaters, heat pumps, solar inverters, and energy storage systems. This greatly increases the chances of future Apple Home integration with energy-intensive devices. As Apple builds the blocks of a more connected and energy-aware smart home experience, EnergyKit represents an important first step. It's a quiet but strategic move that hints at a more sustainable—and more competitive—future for Apple in the smart home space.
