Dismantle faulty AI traffic signal at Merces, PWD told
Panaji: The PWD has been directed to dismantle a wrongly positioned and defunct traffic signal near Merces junction by July 4, following sharp criticism at the North Goa District Road Safety Committee meeting held on Monday. The signal, part of a much-hyped AI-based traffic management system launched in March 2023 by Beltech AI Pvt Ltd, caused confusion among motorists due to its incorrect placement and months of non-functioning. Monday's action comes after the additional collector-I rejected the PWD's proposal to delay removal until fresh tender approvals were secured. Sources said the initial plan was to replace the signal under a new tender, but growing complaints forced the department's hand. 'Some motorists even threatened to file a complaint under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, for 'deficiency of service',' sources said. The district magistrate's office first flagged the issue this March, instructing the PWD to remove the non-functional signal that was out of order for over three months at the time, saying it 'will not serve any purpose'. Launched in March 2023, the AI traffic signal system was part of a pilot project to improve road safety through AI-enabled surveillance, automatic detection of traffic violations, challan generation, and traffic pattern analysis. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo The initiative showed early signs of success — speeding violations dropped sharply from 5,265 in June 2023 to 1,891 by May 2024. Between June 1 and Dec 31, 2023, the system helped the traffic cell and transport department collect around Rs 2.2 crore in fines. From Jan to May 31, 2024, an additional Rs 48.6 lakh was collected, taking the total revenue generated to about Rs 2.7 crore. Despite its promising start, the system faced operational hiccups. A technical glitch in Feb and March 2024 halted its functioning, while the defunct signal near Merces emerged as a prominent irritant for motorists navigating the busy junction.

Gold loans turn microfinance companies' best bet amid fears about the unsecured
Kolkata: Gold loans appear to have emerged as the best bet for microfinance companies planning to increase the share of secured portfolio , although the regulator has tightened rules for lenders to the yellow metal. Companies like Arohan Financial Services and Uttrayan Financial Services are among the notable ones which have taken definite steps to explore this market segment. New gold loan norms, to be implemented from April 2026, have been made borrower-friendly, however. Loans against property (LAP) is the other preferred assets class for non-banking finance companies-microfinance institutions ( NBFC-MFI ), which are exploring opportunities outside the realm of microfinance to reduce the concentration risk taking advantage of a recent RBI directive allowing them to reduce the qualifying asset to 60% from 75% earlier. In other words, this new rule means NBFC-MFIs can have a 40% non-microfinance portfolio. Microfinance is unsecured, collateral-free loans offered to low-income households with annual income of less than ₹3 lakh. "We will explore secured assets like gold loans, micro LAP amongst others. This will help secure a better credit rating , portfolio diversity and better security and profitability," Arohan managing director Manoj Kumar Nambiar told ET. Uttrayan , on the other hand, on Wednesday unveiled its first dedicated gold loan branch near Kolkata. Arohan has prepared a concept note on foraying into the gold loan business which will be put up in the next board meeting. "The RBI guideline change on qualifying assets ratio to 60/40 is a welcome change as it helps board will discuss the proposal," said Nambiar, who is the chairman of industry body Microfinance Institutions Network. "People are primarily planning to venture into the gold loan business," said Alok Biswas, managing director at Kolkata-based Janakalyan Financial Services. Gold loans carry minimum risk as these are backed by gold ornaments. However, setting up a gold loan business needs a special eco-system for valuing the gold ornaments to be pledged and also to store them securely. CreditAccess Grameen , the country largest NBFC-MFI, has no plan to get into all these, said Udaya Kumar Hebbar, who superannuated from the company on June 25 and is now a non-executive director on the board.
