Boards, spring posts: Road in Setor 60 set to get safety upgrades
Noida: Noida Authority has announced improvements for the Master Plan 2 (MP-2) road connecting Sector 16 with Sector 60. The enhancement plan includes installation of directional boards, spring posts, and cantilever signage to boost safety on this crucial route that links multiple sectors of Noida and facilitates vehicular movement between Delhi, Noida, and Ghaziabad. Officials said the move aims to enhance safety, streamline traffic, and improve the commuter experience on this heavily used corridor. The Authority has floated a tender to hire an agency for the work. An official said, "Several signboards along the MP-2 road have worn out over time. We are replacing them with new, more visible boards to guide traffic. These boards help commuters navigate efficiently, especially in high-traffic zones."

Bru leaders seek HM's intervention on resettlement issues in Tripura
Guwahati: The Bru signatories of the Quadripartite Bru Agreement on Monday submitted a memorandum to home minister Amit Shah , seeking his immediate proactive intervention to pave the way for justice and improved living conditions for Bru families resettled in Tripura. The Quadripartite Bru Agreement initiated by Shah was signed on Jan 16, 2020. It is a landmark deal aimed at resolving the long-standing humanitarian crisis of the Bru (Reang) refugees, who fled ethnic violence in Mizoram and lived in relief camps in Tripura for over two decades. The agreement was signed between MHA, govts of Tripura and Mizoram and representatives of Bru refugees. The Bru leaders also expressed solidarity with a 77-year-old member of the community, Zothanga, who is on an indefinite hunger strike to advocate for the fundamental rights and dignity of the Bru resettled families across the 13 settlement locations in Tripura. "We implore you to consider Zothanga's demands and take necessary steps to address the grievances of the Bru families," they submitted in the memorandum reminding Shah that his commitment made during his visit on March 9 on issuance of Antyodaya Anna Yojana (AAY) ration cards. They urged that AAY ration cards are issued immediately, along with an increase of 5kg of ration per head. "This increment is vital to addressing the nutritional needs of every Bru family, ensuring food security, and enhancing our quality of life," they stated. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like If you have a mouse, play this game for 1 minute Navy Quest Undo They also pressed for allocation of agricultural land as per the Quadripartite Bru Agreement as "land is not just a piece of property: it represents opportunities for sustainable livelihoods and food sovereignty.

CBSE mandates CCTV with real-time audio-visual monitoring in schools to strengthen student safety

Surveillance coverage across campuses The CBSE's latest guidelines require comprehensive CCTV coverage, excluding private spaces such as toilets and washrooms. Cameras must be installed at all high-traffic zones: stairwells, laboratories, storerooms, lobbies, and other common areas. Live Events To ensure consistency and accountability, schools must maintain backup systems and perform regular checks on equipment functionality. The Board emphasised that failure to comply with these requirements could impact a school's affiliation status. Aligned with national child safety norms The directive draws from safety standards outlined in the Manual on Safety and Security of Children in Schools by the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR). The manual calls for schools to build secure environments that protect children from physical, emotional, and psychological harm. A notable emphasis is placed on addressing emotional safety, particularly bullying, which the manual links to long-term mental health challenges such as chronic stress and reduced self-esteem. Through enhanced monitoring, CBSE hopes to foster not just physical safety but also a more emotionally secure school environment. In its circular, CBSE underlined that ensuring student well-being is a shared responsibility among educators, staff, and school management. The integration of surveillance technology, it said, is intended not as a punitive tool but as a support system for safer, more cohesive campuses.
