ace gaming 888 login Select public screenings of All We Imagine As Light , the second feature from rising Indian filmmaker Payal Kapadia , began in early May, a few weeks ahead of the film’s splashy competition debut at the Cannes Film Festival . I first saw the film during this run in London at the notoriously dingy Soho screening rooms and as the credits rolled in the room, there was a feeling of subdued excitement in the air. Attendees — some of the industry’s most hardened and cynical critics — could be seen cracking smiles at each other and nodding approvingly. It was clear that everyone in the room had realized they’d seen something rather special, but no one dared to make pronouncements about its potential. I suspect in part due to the volatility of a Cannes debut. Films by much bigger names, traditionally sure-fire locks with the chin-scratching Riviera crowd, have opened on the Croisette and disappeared faster than you can say Palme d’Or. There was also the structural question. Can a film of this scale and radical ambition, produced in India in the Malayalam language, and directed by a woman, cut through? The answer was a resounding and refreshing yes. Following a historic competition win in Cannes , All We Imagine has enjoyed acclaimed bows at NYFF, London, Tokyo, Chicago, Denver, San Sebastian, Mill Valley and Sydney, to name but a few. “It’s all so exciting,” Kapadia tells me from the bright offices of Janus Films just off Park Avenue in Midtown Manhattan. The company picked up All We Imagine out of Cannes and began a limited release stateside on November 14. The flick has been a consistent sellout since then, clocking Janus it’s best-ever opening at the box office. “When you make a film, the nicest thing is that it gets shown and you just hope people go to watch it,” Kapadia continues. All We Imagine As Light now enters the awards season as one of the year’s strongest and most popular titles. Before campaigning officially starts, however, Kapadia must return to her native India where she will launch a nationwide release. She tells me she’s “a bit nervous” about returning home with the film. “It’s not easy to release a film like this in India. In Kerala, I think it might be an easier sell because it’s a film in the Malayalam language, so they won’t need to read subtitles,” Kapadia says. “There is also a connection with the actors there because audiences recognize them. They’ve become household names.” Kapadia describes the Indian cinematic landscape as a large and diverse “self-contained system.” Local audiences aren’t so fussed with awards and acclaim out of Cannes. The National Film Awards of India can pull a crowd and local audiences may take a second glance at an Oscar. But the most useful commodity, Kapadia says, is local notoriety. “The local films that may come out in Kerala in Tamil are the films people actually anticipate,” Kapadia says. “It’s still all about your local cinema and what film is coming out there. The local actors you love and turn up for and the local directors who inspire you. It’s a very self-contained system.” Shot over 25 late summer days in Mumbai, followed by an extra 15 in the rainy western port town of Ratnagiri, All We Imagine As Light tells the story of two young women — Prabha, a nurse from Mumbai, and Anu, her roommate. A rare French-Indo co-production, the film is a collaboration between the Paris-based producers Thomas Hakim and Julien Graff, of Petit Chaos, and Zico Maitra of Chalk & Cheese Films out of Mumbai. All We Imagine as Light is the first feature from Maitra’s Chalk and Cheese after nine years of primarily producing commercials for television and digital media. Hakim and Graff are a buzzy-producing duo widely recognized across the European festival circuit for an impressive range of short and feature projects. “It was like an extended family across two continents, and we really grew close,” Kapadia says of her collaboration with Hakim, Graff, and Maitra. Below, Kapadia shares some further insights about the production behind All We Imagine As Light , how she has navigated the film’s rapid success, and what she made of the film being snubbed as India’s submission for the Best International Oscar race by India’s Film Federation. Kapadia also shares some details about her next feature project. DEADLINE: Payal, how are you? PAYAL KAPADIA: I’m good. I’m super excited. The film was released this week in America and we open on November 22 in India. I wasn’t so sure we’d get Indian distribution because it’s not easy to release a film like this in India. A lot of films, even the big ones, don’t always do well in the theaters. So I was a bit nervous that I wouldn’t get a distributor. But because of this whole Cannes thing, there were a lot of distributors who were interested, and even exhibitors who were willing to book the film. DEADLINE: The film has been traveling all over the world. Where have you had the best screening so far? KAPADIA: I think the film had a pretty great screening in the UK. I wasn’t there for that one, but Kani, my actress, was there and she said the audience was really taken with the film. We also had a really good screening here at the New York Film Festival, which was amazing. The wildest screening was in Mumbai. We opened the Mumbai Film Festival. It was in this old cinema, which is a famous Mumbai artifact. It’s called Regal Cinema. It’s an old-school single-screen cinema with a balcony and dress circle. The sound is awful. They have all the fans on because it’s so hot. But it was still so nice because the film was finally screened in Mumbai, where it was shot. DEADLINE: You’re returning to India to release the film. The funny thing about having international success is that you often become the face of your home country on a global scale even if you might have a complicated relationship with where you come from. It’s a sort of weird nationalism people bestowed on you. How have you felt about that? KAPADIA: We have a very large ecosystem of films. So the local films that may come out in Kerala in Tamil are the films people actually anticipate. It’s still all about your local cinema and what film is coming out there. The local actors you love and turn up for and the local directors who inspire you. It’s a very self-contained system. So I wouldn’t call myself the face of Indian cinema in that sense. People are still discovering that there’s this festival in France that happens every year and it’s somewhat a big deal. The national awards in India hold a lot of importance. People may know the Oscars a little more than Cannes. But still, it’s more about your local cinema and which film is coming out there and the actors and directors you enjoy. India is a very self-contained system. DEADLINE: It’s also interesting how the film industry has embraced this film. All We Imagine is a very political and radical film. So is your first feature A Night Of Knowing Nothing . But All We Imagine is now mostly only discussed in terms of its aesthetics. Critics talk about its beauty. Or they identify the film’s politics only in relation to India but fail to make the connection with their own lives. Have you noticed that? What do you think about it? KAPADIA: I’m always concerned about this when I’m writing a film, and it’s related to myself as a filmmaker with a certain amount of privilege. I can go on about formalistic ideas in cinema, but at the end of the day, there needs to be a balance between these bourgeois ideas and the film’s themes. I’m negotiating this all the time as a filmmaker. Now, the angle you are discussing is the viewing of the film. And in that sense, I feel there is a bit of an advantage, because sometimes if the film’s form is attractive or can mesmerize an audience, but you can also sneak in pertinent political themes, that’s interesting to me. But it’s a fine line and I’m always trying to balance that in my head. DEADLINE: This film is very invested in cinematic language. The narrative is advanced by what we see and hear, not necessarily dialogue. With that in mind, how do you write screenplays? What do your scripts look like? KAPADIA: When I first started writing the screenplay I wrote very detailed descriptions of the colors and the sound in the film because they do a lot for the film’s narrative. There are certain things you can’t describe with words that, to me, rely on sound. So that becomes very tricky to write into a script. It took me a while to understand how to become a more efficient writer, which was important. At the end of the day, the people who are going to commission your film are reading thousands of scripts. They’re not going to want to read this descriptive essay on what the sounds of Mumbai feel like. So it took me some time to distill that. My producers had a big role to play in distilling some of those ideas and giving me a push. And, to be honest, the commissioning system is pretty good because you can get a script greenlit, but after that you have a lot of flexibility in the production. So I took a lot of liberties at that stage. DEADLINE: When did you first know you wanted to be a director? KAPADIA: I actually had very little respect for what it was to be a director. There’s this whole attitude in India where the directors are just brooding men walking around. So I wanted to be an editor. I felt that was something concrete, and I understood what everyday life would be like as an editor. I was fascinated by editing as a craft. My mother is an artist and she made video work quite often. And the editing she did was the first piece of the filmmaking process I saw being done. After that, I started looking at films, like big Hollywood films, and saying, ‘Ah, I see what was done here.’ At that point, it felt like a new world had opened up to me that no one else could see. Obviously, that was not the case, but I felt like I could really see things. So I wanted to be an editor. I applied to the film school right after college and didn’t get in. I was really disappointed and didn’t know what to do with my life. At the time, it was easier to get jobs as an assistant director, so I started working and that’s when I started discovering what directors did and how they created their visions. So I applied to film school again for directing and was accepted. DEADLINE: Your first film A Night Of Knowing Nothing won the Best Documentary prize at Cannes in 2021 and I remember it screening at a bunch of festivals too. Why do you think you’ve blown up now with this film? DEADLINE: You’re going to hate this question but I have to ask about the Indian Oscar committee. Of course, they didn’t choose your film. But more interesting to me was their reasoning. They said All We Imagine As Light wasn’t Indian enough. What do you think they meant by that? DEADLINE: Yeah, it’s bizarre. I interpreted their comments to mean that because the film has an avant-garde structure its maybe more European, which is bizarre because that avant-garde structure has stronger origins in Asia than anywhere else. KAPADIA: Exactly, it’s very Asian. Anyway, the whole committee with 13 men is also quite bizarre. DEADLINE: When will you be done promoting the film and be able to go home? KAPADIA: By the end of December. The main releases will be over with the UK, U.S., Spain and India. At that point, I hope to chill and start working on another film. DEADLINE: Do you know what the film will be? KAPADIA: It’ll be a film set in Mumbai. But with the distribution of this film in India especially, I’ve increasingly been thinking about questions surrounding form like the one you brought up earlier. I want to understand where I as a filmmaker fit in the cinematic landscape of this country where it’s not always easy to distribute films like All We Imagine As Light . This is something I’ve been thinking about a lot recently. I’ll have to find that balance between formalistic choices and accessibility from an Indian context. DEADLINE: Are you saying in an eloquent way that you’re thinking of changing your approach to filmmaking to make your films more accessible to wider audiences? KAPADIA: I feel a balance can be found. One can stick to one’s cinematic intentions and still perhaps make certain choices that make the structure more recognizable for audiences. You can play around a lot with your politics and your cinematic intentions. I feel like that is a more interesting challenge for filmmakers. So let’s see. American filmmakers do this a lot because it’s always been a struggle to create certain types of films here. It’s all about navigating the structures of the system while keeping your love for cinema and the kind of cinema you love intact.

Russian President Vladimir Putin claims the ballistic missile strike on Ukraine on Thursday was the debut of a new ‘unstoppable’ weapon as he blamed the West for turning his invasion of Ukraine into a global war. Ukraine reported what it claimed as an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) strike on the central city of Dnipro on Thursday morning, prompting a flurry of global concern at what could be the first use of a true ICBM in anger in history. Yet Western governments and intelligence agencies were apparently reluctant to openly acknowledge the claim, Russia itself refused comment, and eventually even Ukraine itself cast doubts on its own assertions. Now Russia’s President Putin has given his own version of events, saying the strike was not by ICBM — weapons which travel into space before plunging back to earth, with ranges of thousands of miles — but rather by a never-before-seen nuclear-capable Intermediate Range Ballistic Missile (IRBM). Putin identified as the ‘Oreshnik’ (‘Hazel’) type which he claimed is totally impervious to Western countermeasures in a televised speech on Thursday night. Separately, Putin ally and former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, now a Kremlin attack dog frequently employed in making lurid nuclear threats, called the new missile “hypersonic” and published what purported to be footage of the strike. Such claims are difficult to take at face value, given the importance of propaganda in wartime and the fact President Putin’s television conferences are as much for domestic consumption and Russian morale as they are to inform foreign observers. Russia has also made bold claims about its new missile systems in the past, not least about its “hypersonics”. The Kinzhal missile was said to be so fast and maneuverable it was impossible to shoot down, however the makers of the United States Patriot missile shield system probably enjoyed a healthy bump in their order books from having shot down a number of them in the skies over Ukraine last year. Nevertheless, Putin was so bullish about the invulnerability of Oreshnik missiles, he offered a somewhat cynical reassurance to civilians he said he would even give public advance warnings of future launches. The Russian President said in his televised address on Thursday night, per Kremlin media: “We will do it due to humanitarian concerns – openly, publicly, without any concerns about any countermeasures from the enemy, who will also receive this information... Why without any concerns? Because there are currently no countermeasures for this weapon at this moment. Russia has no obligation to notify third parties about IRBM launches in advance, as it does with ICBMs, per a year 2000 memorandum signed with the United States to reduce the likelihood of tests and military exercises being misinterpreted as sneak attacks. The very term hypersonic is also somewhat problematic. Very much the subject of the zeitgeist in military thought and technology, the theoretical concept of a hypersonic missile is one that can maneuver rapidly to avoid enemy fire at extremely high speeds, over five times the speed of sound. While many missiles achieve such speeds, it is the evasive action at speed factor which seems to be basically unproven. Nevertheless, Russia has made its claims, not least that Oreshnik flies at mach-10, or 7,600 miles per hour. As well as discussing the alleged weapon itself, President Putin also spoke to what he claimed were his motives, blaming Western states backing Ukraine’s defence against his invasion. On this point he was quite explicit, stating the Dnipro attack was: “in response to the use of American and British long-range weapons”. Testing the new Oreshnik missile against a live target — a Ukrainian city — was a “response to the aggressive actions of NATO regarding Russia”, he said. By supplying Ukraine with long-range missiles — which have been used to strike inside Russia itself for the first time this week — President Putin said “the conflict in Ukraine, provoked by the West, has acquired elements of global nature”. While these remarks made no reflection on Russia’s culpability in the conflict, nevertheless it clearly underlined the Kremlin attitude that Western states were involving themselves in what they consider their own private war. Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky, who had earlier in the day referred to Russia as his “insane neighbor” for firing ballistic missiles at his cities, was prompt in responding to President Putin’s speech. He said Russia had “escalated and expanded” the war again with the strike and compared it in magnitude to Russia deploying North Korean soldiers to fight against Ukraine. Zelensky rejected Russia’s pleading over Ukrainian missile strikes into their territory, saying it was no more or less than Russia already inflictys on Ukraine daily. He said: “Putin lies when he claims that Ukraine’s use of long-range weapons is somehow a new step for us. This is not the first time we have used such weapons, and we have every right to do so under international law. Our right to self-defense is the same as that of any other nation. “And when Russian missiles hit our cities, when Iranian “Shaheds” attack Ukraine every night, when a North Korean contingent is deployed on our borders, Putin is not only prolonging the war—he is spitting in the face of those in the world who genuinely want peace to be restored.”

Civic Coalition's Critical Primary Showdown: Trzaskowski vs Sikorski

Army-Navy game has added buzzANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — Kaylene Smikle scored 16 points and made a couple key baskets down the stretch to help No. 10 Maryland hold off George Mason 66-56 in a matchup of unbeatens Saturday at the Navy Classic. The Terrapins (7-0) led by just two when Smikle stole the ball and made a layup while being fouled. The free throw pushed the lead to 58-53. Then a putback by Smikle put Maryland up by seven. The Terps won despite shooting 13 of 26 on free throws. George Mason (6-1) trailed by 10 at halftime before outscoring Maryland 18-7 in the third quarter. The Patriots' final lead was 49-48 in the fourth after a jumper by Kennedy Harris. Harris led George Mason with 26 points. Maryland is off to its best start since winning its first 12 games in 2018-19. George Mason: The Patriots have lost all nine meetings with Maryland, but it's been more competitive of late. The Terps won 86-77 last year, and this game was more competitive than the final score suggested. Maryland: After a down season by their standards, the Terps are off to a nice start, but the free-throw problems in this game nearly cost them. With the score 55-53, George Mason had a chance to tie, but the Patriots never really recovered after Smikle swiped the ball from Harris and went the other way for a three-point play with 3:08 remaining. Although Maryland was awful at the line, at least the Terps got there. George Mason was only 3 of 8 from the stripe, and the Terps held the Patriots to 32% shooting from the field. George Mason faces Navy in this event Sunday. Maryland takes on Toledo. Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here.

CAIRO (AP) — Famine is spreading in Sudan due to a war between the military and a notorious paramilitary group that has devastated the country and created the world’s largest displacement crisis, a global hunger-monitoring group said Tuesday. The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification, or IPC, said it detected famine in five areas, including in Sudan’s largest displacement camp, Zamzam, in North Darfur province, where famine was found for the first time in August. “This marks an unprecedented deepening and widening of the food and nutrition crisis, driven by the devastating conflict, which has triggered unprecedented mass displacement, a collapsing economy, the breakdown of essential social services, and severe societal disruptions, and poor humanitarian access,” an IPC report said. It added that in areas of high conflict, hostilities can severely disrupt farming activities, resulting in farmers abandoning their crops, looting, and stock destruction. “Displaced households, especially those living in settlements and public buildings, are unlikely to benefit significantly from the harvest,” it said. As well as in the Zamzam camp, which hosts more than 400,000 people, famine was also detected in two other camps for displaced people, Abu Shouk and al-Salam in North Darfur, and the Western Nuba Mountains, IPC’s report said. Five other areas in North Darfur are projected “with reasonable evidence” to experience famine in the next six months, including el-Fasher, the provincial capital of North Darfur, it said. Seventeen areas in the Nuba Mountains and the northern and southern areas of Darfur are at risk of famine, it added. The report said some areas in Khartoum and the east-central province of Gezira “may be experiencing” famine-like conditions. It said experts were unable to confirm whether famine threshold has been surpassed due to lack of data. Ahead of the IPC’s report, Sudan’s government said it had suspended its participation in the global system, according to a senior United Nations official with knowledge of the move. In a letter dated Dec. 23, Agriculture Minister Abu Baker al-Beshri accused the IPC of “issuing unreliable reports that undermine Sudan’s sovereignty and dignity,” said the UN official, who spoke in condition of anonymity. Sudan has been roiled by a 20-month war that has killed more than than 24,000 people and driven over 14 million people — about 30% of the population — from their homes, according to the United Nations. An estimated 3.2 million Sudanese have crossed into neighboring countries, including Chad, Egypt and South Sudan. The war began in April 2023, when long-simmering tensions between its military and paramilitary Rapid Support Forces exploded into open fighting in the capital, Khartoum, before spreading to other urban areas and the western Darfur region. The conflict has been marked by atrocities, including ethnically motivated killing and rape, according to to the UN and rights groups. The International Criminal Court is investigating alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity. There is widespread hunger, with food in markets now scarce and prices have spiked. Aid groups also say they’re struggling to reach the most vulnerable as warring parties limit access, especially in North Darfur province. Dervla Cleary, a senior emergency and rehabilitation officer at the U.N.’s Food and Agriculture Organization, said 638,000 people are experiencing famine. “The situation in Sudan is just awful. It is unacceptable in a world like today,” she said. “We need the violence to stop so people can access food, water, health, nutrition and agriculture.” According to the IPC report, a total of 24.6 million Sudanese — half of the population — faces high levels of acute food insecurity. Sudan is the third country where famine was declared in the past 15 years, along with South Sudan and Somalia, where a 2011 major famine was estimated to have killed a quarter of a million people – half of them children under 5 years old. The IPC comprises more than a dozen U.N. agencies, aid groups, and governments that use its monitoring as a global reference for analysis of food and nutrition crises. The organization has also warned that large parts of Gaza’s Palestinian population face the threat of famine.

By Hannah Fry, Los Angeles Times (TNS) Every day millions of people share more intimate information with their accessories than they do with their spouse. Wearable technology — smartwatches, smart rings, fitness trackers and the like — monitors body-centric data such as your heart rate, steps taken and calories burned, and may record where you go along the way. Like Santa Claus, it knows when you are sleeping (and how well), it knows when you’re awake, it knows when you’ve been idle or exercising, and it keeps track of all of it. People are also sharing sensitive health information on health and wellness apps , including online mental health and counseling programs. Some women use period tracker apps to map out their monthly cycle. These devices and services have excited consumers hoping for better insight into their health and lifestyle choices. But the lack of oversight into how body-centric data are used and shared with third parties has prompted concerns from privacy experts, who warn that the data could be sold or lost through data breaches, then used to raise insurance premiums, discriminate surreptitiously against applicants for jobs or housing, and even perform surveillance. The use of wearable technology and medical apps surged in the years following the COVID-19 pandemic, but research released by Mozilla on Wednesday indicates that current laws offer little protection for consumers who are often unaware just how much of their health data are being collected and shared by companies. “I’ve been studying the intersections of emerging technologies, data-driven technologies, AI and human rights and social justice for the past 15 years, and since the pandemic I’ve noticed the industry has become hyper-focused on our bodies,” said Mozilla Foundation technology fellow Júlia Keserű, who conducted the research. “That permeates into all kinds of areas of our lives and all kinds of domains within the tech industry.” The report “From Skin to Screen: Bodily Integrity in the Digital Age” recommends that existing data protection laws be clarified to encompass all forms of bodily data. It also calls for expanding national health privacy laws to cover health-related information collected from health apps and fitness trackers and making it easier for users to opt out of body-centric data collections. Researchers have been raising alarms about health data privacy for years. Data collected by companies are often sold to data brokers or groups that buy, sell and trade data from the internet to create detailed consumer profiles. Body-centric data can include information such as the fingerprints used to unlock phones, face scans from facial recognition technology, and data from fitness and fertility trackers, mental health apps and digital medical records. One of the key reasons health information has value to companies — even when the person’s name is not associated with it — is that advertisers can use the data to send targeted ads to groups of people based on certain details they share. The information contained in these consumer profiles is becoming so detailed, however, that when paired with other data sets that include location information, it could be possible to target specific individuals, Keserű said. Location data can “expose sophisticated insights about people’s health status, through their visits to places like hospitals or abortions clinics,” Mozilla’s report said, adding that “companies like Google have been reported to keep such data even after promising to delete it.” Related Articles Health | Political stress: Can you stay engaged without sacrificing your mental health?

While many brokers deleted personal identifiers, some provided names and addresses of individuals seeking mental health assistance, according to the report. In two public surveys conducted as part of the research, Keserű said, participants were outraged and felt exploited in scenarios where their health data were sold for a profit without their knowledge. “We need a new approach to our digital interactions that recognizes the fundamental rights of individuals to safeguard their bodily data, an issue that speaks directly to human autonomy and dignity,” Keserű said. “As technology continues to advance, it is critical that our laws and practices evolve to meet the unique challenges of this era.” Consumers often take part in these technologies without fully understanding the implications. Last month, Elon Musk suggested on X that users submit X-rays, PET scans, MRIs and other medical images to Grok, the platform’s artificial intelligence chatbot, to seek diagnoses. The issue alarmed privacy experts, but many X users heeded Musk’s call and submitted health information to the chatbot. While X’s privacy policy says that the company will not sell user data to third parties, it does share some information with certain business partners. Gaps in existing laws have allowed the widespread sharing of biometric and other body-related data. Health information provided to hospitals, doctor’s offices and medical insurance companies is protected from disclosure under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act , known as HIPAA, which established federal standards protecting such information from release without the patient’s consent. But health data collected by many wearable devices and health and wellness apps don’t fall under HIPAA’s umbrella, said Suzanne Bernstein, counsel at Electronic Privacy Information Center. “In the U.S. because we don’t have a comprehensive federal privacy law ... it falls to the state level,” she said. But not every state has weighed in on the issue. Washington, Nevada and Connecticut all recently passed laws to provide safeguards for consumer health data. Washington, D.C., in July introduced legislation that aimed to require tech companies to adhere to strengthened privacy provisions regarding the collection, sharing, use or sale of consumer health data. In California, the California Privacy Rights Act regulates how businesses can use certain types of sensitive information, including biometric information, and requires them to offer consumers the ability to opt out of disclosure of sensitive personal information. “This information being sold or shared with data brokers and other entities hypercharge the online profiling that we’re so used to at this point, and the more sensitive the data, the more sophisticated the profiling can be,” Bernstein said. “A lot of the sharing or selling with third parties is outside the scope of what a consumer would reasonably expect.” Health information has become a prime target for hackers seeking to extort healthcare agencies and individuals after accessing sensitive patient data. Health-related cybersecurity breaches and ransom attacks increased more than 4,000% between 2009 and 2023, targeting the booming market of body-centric data, which is expected to exceed $500 billion by 2030, according to the report. “Nonconsensual data sharing is a big issue,” Keserű said. “Even if it’s biometric data or health data, a lot of the companies are just sharing that data without you knowing, and that is causing a lot of anxiety and questions.” ©2024 Los Angeles Times.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah reviewed the implementation of the three new criminal laws in Uttarakhand in New Delhi on Tuesday. Uttarakhand chief minister Pushkar Singh Dhami was also present at the meeting. Union Home Minister Shah said that Uttarakhand chief minister should review the progress of implementation of the three new criminal laws after every 15 days. Dehradun : Union Home Minister Amit Shah, who reviewed the implementation of the three new criminal laws-the Bhartiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita-2023, the Bhartiya Nyay Sanhita-2023, and the Bhartiya Sakshya Adhiniyam-2023 – in Uttarakhand in presence of the Uttarakhand chief minister Pushkar Singh Dhami in New Delhi on Tuesday, underlined the need for regular monitoring of the total number of Zero FIRs, registered in other states and subsequently, transferred to the state concerned. He gave emphasis on ensuring justice in all such FIRs. Union Home Minister Shah also said that Uttarakhand chief minister should review the progress of implementation of the three new criminal laws after every 15 days. He also directed the Chief Secretary and the DGP to hold a meeting with the officials concerned once a week in this regard. Apart from reviewing the implementation of three new criminal laws, the status of various new provisions related to police, jails, courts, prosecution, and forensic departments in Uttarakhand was also discussed at the meeting. Top officials of the central as well as the state governments attended the meeting Those who attended the meeting included the Union Home Secretary, the Chief Secretary, and the Director General of Police (DGP) of Uttarakhand, Director General of the Bureau of Police Research and Development (BPR&D), Director General of the National Crime Record Bureau (NCRB) and several senior officials of the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) and the State government. Fill the gaps between technologies and other areas The Union Home Minister Shah said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, three new criminal laws are becoming the protectors of civil rights and the basis of ‘ease of justice’. He asked the Uttarakhand CM Dhami to ensure 100 per cent implement the new criminal laws at the earliest possible. Shah also asked the Uttarakhand government to fill the gaps between the technology and other areas for proper implementation of the three new laws. Focus on the use of technologies Giving emphasis on the use of technology, the Union Home Minister Shah said that more than one forensic mobile van should be available in every district of the state. Shah said that the forensic teams should be divided into three categories – serious, normal, and very normal -during their visits. It will help better utilization of the resources, he further said.
