Tender fraud: Pilibhit civic body blacklists two contractors, firms
Representative image. PILIBHIT : The executive officer of the Pilibhit municipal council, Ashutosh Gupta—who also serves as the Sub-Divisional Magistrate of Pilibhit Sadar Circle—has blacklisted two civil contractor firms and two individual civil contractors for fraudulently using fixed deposit receipts (FDRs) as sureties while filing tender bids. Acting on a report submitted by the Public Works Department's (PWD) executive engineer on May 14, Gupta initiated action against the contractors after it was found that they had submitted FDRs already pledged with other urban bodies. They uploaded these FDRs through the govt's online bidding portal, despite having used them earlier for different projects. The fraud came to light via Prahari app, used by the PWD for cross-verification. The tenders in question were for six different civil construction works, invited by the Pilibhit municipal council on February 22 and opened on February 24. During technical bid scrutiny, the irregularities surfaced. Gupta said contractor Shrish Pal submitted six FDRs worth Rs 3.70 lakh across four tenders. Sandhya Traders uploaded four FDRs valued at Rs 3.68 lakh. SS Enterprise and Palak Agrawal submitted one FDR each, worth Rs 1.55 lakh and Rs 57,500, respectively. It was later confirmed that the FDRs submitted by Shrish Pal and Sandhya Traders were already pledged with the Jahanabad Town Area Committee. The FDR submitted by SS Enterprise was pledged with the Naugawan Pakariya Town Area Committee, while Palak Agrawal had reused an FDR already pledged with the Pilibhit Municipal Council for an earlier approved tender. The matter was placed before the municipal council's tender committee, chaired by Gupta. Based on the committee's recommendations dated May 23, all four contractors were blacklisted and debarred from future dealings with the Pilibhit municipal council.

1 2 Prayagraj: The Pratapgarh police under its innovative "one cop-one gangster" monitoring system have managed to arrest as many as 370 gangsters in the past 10 months. The Pratapgarh police had also topped the chart for registering the maximum number of cases (115) under the Gangsters Act across the state. SP (Pratapgarh) Anil Kumar told TOI: "A notable success was recorded in the past 10 months when cops managed to ensure the arrest of 370 gangsters. Both male and female constables in the 26 police stations of the district played a vital role in building up a strong intelligence network against crime and criminals, which also helped in taking action against criminals wanted under the Gangsters Act." After the arrest of each gangster, the constable concerned is rewarded with a certificate and prize from a senior official. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like New Container Houses Vietnam (Take A Look At The Prices) Container House Search Now Undo The SP added that: "To ensure action against lawbreakers operating their gangs in an organised way, police officials have prepared a list of criminals, including wanted and absconders, thana-wise, and launched target-oriented policing by engaging one cop against one criminal." As part of Pratapgarh police's enhanced crime-fighting initiative , the lower-rung police officers have developed intelligence networks and strategic plans to combat lawbreakers. Additionally, the police have also managed to attach properties of 10 gangsters under the Gangsters Act so far.

Beat constables concerned are being assigned special tasks to build an intelligence network and initiate concrete action to ensure their arrests," Kumar said. All beat constables are currently armed with the 'Prahari' app, wherein they are updating the current whereabouts and details of wanted criminals, mafias and gangsters.

Prahari app replaces British era ‘Beat Book' for keeping records within police circles
Prayagraj: The hi-tech ' Prahari app ' has replaced the colonial-era ' Beat Book ', also known as 'Gopniya Patrika', which was traditionally used to document details of religious sites, banks, historical conflicts, demographics, notable individuals, crime trends and local offenders. All beat in-charges at police stations are now required to upload details of their beats on the app using their unique IDs. Officials claimed that apart from maintaining the Beat Book manually, most officials are now working on the app for their routine work. Besides maintaining data and records, the app is also helping police officials to upload the verification status of arm licence holders, tenant and character verification under the citizen service scheme. SP (Pratapgarh) Anil Kumar told TOI: "The Prahari App is a unique communication tool for policemen that helps to enhance beat policing and create effective communication between beat police officials (popularly known as halka in-charge) and higher police authorities." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Google Brain Co-Founder Andrew Ng, Recommends: Read These 5 Books And Turn Your Life Around Blinkist: Andrew Ng's Reading List Undo He said with the Prahari app, the policemen can manage beat policing effectively through digital communications. "The app also allows thana in-charges at police stations to easily assign and track activities and tasks allocated to beats. All the beat activities can be easily monitored by top officials at district, range, zone, and HQs, as and when needed," Kumar said. Beat in-charges can update all information related to a particular area and share it with senior police authorities. Apart from sharing and updating current information related to crime and criminals, the app is also helpful in sharing the locations of crimes or incidents. A senior cop said, "The app is an online mode to update required information and enhance e-policing ."
