The youths claim they were stripped, beaten for four days, and had chilli powder rubbed into their private parts to force a confession in a theft case. The victims, residents of the Kanjadpur Dharampura area, said they were returning from a housewarming ceremony on July 15 when they stopped to urinate by the roadside. A Dial-100 police vehicle allegedly picked them up without explanation. One youth, who is disabled, was released, while the remaining four were taken to the police station, hung upside down, beaten with belts, and tortured. Police had earlier claimed to have arrested five individuals for stealing transformer oil. The incident triggered protests by Bhim Army workers and the victims' families, who marched to the SP office demanding action under the SC/ST Act and suspension of the accused policemen. A sit-in was staged outside the SP office, where authorities responded by locking the gates and cutting power to the premises.

Every city must have chief information security officer, says home secretary
Home secretary Govind Mohan (File photo) NEW DELHI: Every city should have a chief information security officer (CISO) to ensure protection of data and systems from cyber threats, Union home secretary Govind Mohan said on Thursday while addressing a meeting on cybersecurity preparedness of Indian cities. He urged states and city administrations to always be on alert about cyber threats and carry out regular audits of their systems and network security. Sources said Mohan also highlighted the need for cities to create their own capacity to deal with technology integration and protect the system, rather than depending on consultants and private players. The meeting was attended by top officials of electronics and IT, home and urban affairs ministries, besides representatives from Intelligence Bureau, UIDAI and state govts. 'There is a huge focus on data security and cyber hygiene, particularly since the 100 smart cities have made huge progress in technology integration. IB officials pointed to how there is need to be ever ready since cyber threats have emerged as a huge challenge with more data on properties, water supply and transportation systems getting digitised,' said an official. Sources said housing and urban affairs secretary K Srinivas announced the ministry's plan to come up with a scheme for the 100 smart cities to take forward the data and technology integration works they have done. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Dubai's Next Icon: Experience Binghatti Aquarise Luxury Binghatti Developers FZE Learn More Undo 'The Centre's scheme will ensure continuity of the 100 common command and control centres that manage the IT backbone and data of the cities,' said a source.

Stall promotions of associate professors in Telangana's govt medical colleges, says doctors
The promotion of 278 associate professors in Telangana medical colleges faces delays HYDERABAD: The long-awaited promotion of 278 associate professors in Telangana's govt medical colleges has hit a roadblock amid growing pressure from various doctors' associations. Each group is lobbying for a different set of priorities, stalling the process and creating administrative deadlock. The promotions, meant to elevate associate professors to full professors and address critical faculty shortages , have become entangled in competing demands over urban postings and transfer policies. While many associate professors are insisting on being posted to city hospitals upon promotion, some doctors' unions argue that existing professors currently serving in rural areas should be given priority to move to urban centres first. Only then, they claim, can the actual vacancy situation be assessed to guide fresh postings. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Dubai's Next Icon: Experience Binghatti Aquarise Luxury Binghatti Developers FZE Learn More Undo Govt-affiliated doctors' associations contend that this realignment would not negatively affect the career paths of either senior or junior faculty. They argue it is essential for rational deployment and quality improvement in medical education. In a recent meeting with director of medical education (DME) Dr A Narendra Kumar, a group of around 100 doctors urged the immediate transfer of faculty who have been serving at the same institution for years. They also demanded better incentives for those teaching at peripheral colleges. Doctors' groups claim that urban postings are being sidelined in the current promotion considerations. Tensions have also risen over concerns that the promotion process may be deliberately delayed. Some doctors allege attempts to block associate professors' advancement, while others believe the process is merely being calibrated to ensure fairness across the board. The govt, however, maintains that Gandhi and Osmania colleges already meet National Medical Council faculty norms, while doctors' associations report 107 vacancies in Greater Hyderabad and 240 in rural areas. They are pushing for the transfer of about 70 professors who have served in district hospitals for years before promotions are processed. In a letter to DME, the teaching hospital associations demanded that associate professor promotions be held off until this realignment is completed.
