Mumbai News: Now, Drones To Rescue People From Drowning

To rescue people from drowning, the BMC will soon deploy five remote-controlled drones on the six-km-long stretch of Juhu beach. With each drone costing around ₹6 lakh, they will be able to carry a maximum 100 kg weight at a time. The sheer capability would be helpful in lifting the victim drowning in the middle of the sea and reaching the individual could be a task, given that every moment counts in such a precarious situation. Recently, five people drowned in the sea at Juhu beach.
A trial run of drone deployment at the beach has been already done and a proposal would soon be sent to the BMC chief. Deputy Municipal Commissioner Vishwasrao Shankarwar said, “Juhu beach is six-km-long and monitoring the entire stretch is difficult.”
How the drone can save people
Sometimes, when the person drowning is inside the sea, it takes time to reach the distressed person. During the monsoon, it takes even longer to reach the victim. Therefore, the idea of using drones was in discussions from the last few years.
Recently, the company, which is making drones, conducted a trial run on the beach. We have decided to buy five drones in the initial stage. In the next few days, we will ask the Fire Brigade to move the proposal before the commissioner.”
Drone’s coverage radius of 2km
With a coverage radius of 2km, these drones can travel at a speed of 12-15 metres per second, said an official, adding that they will be equipped with rope-like extensions and the distressed person can catch hold of it and come to the seashore.
The trial runs were carried during the high and low tides and a distance of 60-70 metres could be covered within less than a minute. These drones can also operate on radio frequency when there is no internet connection. The feature will help authorities to operate drones during extreme weather conditions when signal is usually weak.

Opposition protests against the government for declaring Wari as urban Naxal

Mumbai: On the fourth day in the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly, the opposition created a ruckus over declaring Wari as urban Naxal and has made serious allegations against the government of insulting Wari. On the fourth day of the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly, the opposition has made several serious allegations against the ministers of the government while protesting on the steps of the Vidhan Bhavan. The ministers included in the cabinet of the state government are misusing their powers and occupying government lands in the state.
Just as the ruling front is trying to defame the holy pilgrimage of Hinduism, Wari, by calling Vitthurai and Warkars urban Naxalites and urban Maoists, in the same way it is insulting Wari Palkhi. This is reprehensible. Members of the Maha Vikas Aghadi staged a strong protest on the steps of the Vidhan Bhavan against the ruling front and accused the government of insulting Wari. In this demonstration, the members also raised slogans cursing the government and said that due to the scamster government, farmers are dying of hunger and the ministers are calling the laborers urban Naxalites. Shiv Sena leader of opposition Ambadas Danve, Vijay Varditwar, Sachin Ahir, Jitendra Ahawat etc. participated in this protest.

Maharashtra Urdu Academy should be formed, funds and staff should be appointed for the promotion of Urdu language Abu Asim Azmi

Mumbai: Mumbai Maharashtra Legislative Assembly member Abu Asim Azmi has demanded the immediate formation of Urdu Academy to promote Urdu. He said that academies of other languages including Gujarati and Marathi are active, but the condition of Urdu Academy is pathetic. Earlier there were 25 employees in this academy, but now only the superintendent is left. The remaining 24 have retired. The government needs to pay attention to the plight of Urdu.
The formation of this academy will promote Urdu. Azmi demanded that the Urdu Academy is facing difficulties due to the provision of funds. He said that the government allocates Rs 1 crore on paper, but this fund is not provided. Abu Asim Azmi said that Urdu is the language of our country. Whenever the Chief Minister or any other minister speaks in the House, they resort to Urdu poetry. But when it comes to the establishment of Urdu Academy and the development of Urdu language, the government is doing injustice

Mumbai: On the third day of Maharashtra Assembly in Mumbai, the opposition accused the ruling party of corruption and protested on the stairs of Vidhan Bhavan, accusing the government of giving contracts to every company of its choice.

Opposition members were also holding banner posters of contractor Megha Engineering, in which the picture of the owner of Megha Company was also visible.
