Bengaluru traffic woes: Govt announces resumption of towing illegally parked vehicles
Bengaluru: The Karnataka government on Tuesday announced that the system of towing vehicles parked in no-parking zones - stopped in February 2022 after widespread complaints - will be resumed in Bengaluru in a bid to mitigate the city's traffic woes. Home Minister G. Parameshwara, addressing reporters after conducting a progress review meeting at the office of the Bengaluru City Police Commissioner, announced the decision, which was taken at a recent cabinet meeting. "Vehicles are being parked indiscriminately, causing disruption to traffic. We must put an end to this. The towing system will be reintroduced. Department staff and vehicles will be used for towing operations. Several steps will be taken in coordination with the Bengaluru civic agency to resolve the traffic issues," he said. 'All necessary measures will be taken to find a permanent solution to the traffic problems in Bengaluru city," he said. "Heavy rainfall has worsened the situation in the city. There are 19 critical congestion points, with 8 locations facing severe traffic issues. A permanent solution is necessary. If the police department and the Bengaluru civic agency work together, the issue can be resolved. I have instructed the city police to submit a report to the government regarding traffic issues. A meeting will be convened with the Chief Minister, Deputy Chief Minister, and Transport Minister to discuss the matter," Parameshwara said. He also mentioned that instructions have been issued to collect information on foreigners residing in the city, which will also help in identifying illegal immigrants. Parameshwara further said that they had brought the drug menace under control, but there are still reports from the public about drug availability in the city. Stricter measures will be taken to curb drug activities, and any police officials found negligent in this matter will be held accountable, he said. Measures have been taken to ensure the safety of women and children. Under the Nirbhaya scheme, 9,000 cameras have been installed and safety islands have been established, the minister said. "According to the Safe City report, Bengaluru is considered a safe city. The Bengaluru City Police will not rest on these achievements but will work even more effectively," he said. He warned that any involvement of police officials and personnel in real estate scams and dealings with brokers will not be tolerated. If any such involvement is found, strict and immediate action will be taken without hesitation, he instructed the city Police Commissioner. "A new programme, titled 'Police at Every Home', will be implemented across the state. Police personnel will interact with the public, address grievances, and offer help. They will also visit schools and colleges, participate in parent-teacher meetings, and raise awareness about the harmful effects of drugs, traffic rules, and legal rights. The police beat system will also be strengthened and made more effective," Parameshwara highlighted. "There are about 15,000 vacancies in the Police Department, and they will be filled. Already, 545 PSI (Police Sub-Inspector) trainees are undergoing training. Results for 402 PSIs are pending and will be released soon. Out of this, 219 PSIs will be assigned to Bengaluru city," he stated. In-Charge State Director General and Inspector General of Police M.A. Saleem, Bengaluru City Police Commissioner B. Dayananda, Additional Police Commissioners Ramesh Banoth and Vikash Kumar Vikash, Joint Commissioner of Police (Traffic) M.N. Anucheth, Joint Commissioner of Police (CCB) Chandragupta, and DCPs of all divisions were present at the meeting.

Johor set to receive RM300mil boost to digital network
Endless options: Fahmi (centre) visiting a National Information Dissemination Centre in Taman Sri Skudai, Johor Baru. — Bernama JOHOR BARU: The Federal Government will allocate RM300mil over the next two years to enhance digital infrastructure, expand 5G coverage and strengthen cybersecurity awareness in Johor, especially in areas linked to the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ), says Datuk Fahmi Fadzil. The Communications Minister said the initiative, carried out in collaboration with the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) and the Johor government, is aimed at supporting the state's digital transformation and economic growth. 'This is in line with the Federal Government's aspiration to help states like Johor improve Internet access, accelerate digitalisation efforts and raise public awareness on online safety and cybersecurity,' he said. He added that development would prioritise high-impact areas, such as public transport hubs, industrial zones, data centre projects, as well as tourist attractions and stadiums – particularly around the JS-SEZ. Fahmi said this after an exchange of memorandum of understanding (MoU) between the MCMC and the Johor government at Menara MBJB here yesterday. The state government was represented by Johor state secretary Tan Sri Dr Azmi Rohani and MCMC by its executive chairman Tan Sri Mohamad Salim Fateh Din. The ceremony was witnessed by Johor Regent Tunku Mahkota Ismail Ibni Sultan Ibrahim, Johor Mentri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi and Fahmi. According to Fahmi, the first phase of the programme would focus on improving mobile network coverage and expanding 5G infrastructure in key JS-SEZ areas. 'The state government will assist with land matters, and we will also coordinate with local authorities to fast-track implementation,' he said. Fahmi said MCMC will also work with the state to install public WiFi access points under the Johor Safe City initiative, aimed at providing secure Internet access for both residents and visitors. He added the initiative further supports efforts to digitalise public and private sector services through the adoption of artificial intelligence and smart technology applications. Meanwhile, Johor works, transportation, infrastructure and communication committee chairman Mohamad Fazli Mohamad Salleh said the MOU aligns with the state's broader Smart City and Safe City initiatives. 'As part of Safe City efforts, we will expand closed-circuit television (CCTV) coverage in the Greater Johor Baru area from the current 1,251 units. 'Within the Johor Baru City Council (MBJB) alone, we plan to install an additional 3,000 units,' he said. Mohamad Fazli said Johor had identified 1,169 industrial hotspots within the JS-SEZ that require digital infrastructure upgrades, especially transitioning from 4G to 5G. 'As of now, Johor's 4G coverage stands at 99.9%, with Johor Baru at 99.99%. For 5G, Johor Baru has reached 94.8%, Kulai 93.7% and the state's overall coverage is at 84%,' he said. Johor, he noted, has been recognised as the fastest-growing data centre hub in South-East Asia, with total capacity expected to exceed 2.7GW by 2027.
