DGP pins neighbourhood watch on cops' kin
The police top brass toured all five police quarters' blocks and personally assessed the living conditions of police families at the facility provided by the department.
During his half-hour inspection, Saleem, who earlier served as the Mysuru city police commissioner, interacted with family members and children of constables, head constables, and assistant sub-inspectors working in various units in Mysuru city and the district.
He listened to their grievances about the facility. Almost everyone the top cop interacted with informed him that water was seeping through the walls and floor tiles were coming off.
They even complained about the frequent blockage of the UGD.
Promising to address their concerns, the DGP advised the women to form associations in each block to improve the surroundings at the apartment quarters. He also inspected single house quarters and expressed that the department created assets to provide facilities for its personnel.

Family members also urged the top cop to appoint adequate teachers and improve the police public school so that their wards could be sent there instead of private facilities, where they charge exorbitant fees.
An officer said the DGP suggested identifying and listing all the dilapidated houses and sending their details to his office for demolition and the construction of a new facility. DIG (Southern Police Range) MB Boralingaiah, commissioner of police Seema Latkar, and superintendent of police N Vishnuvardhana were present.

Tribals celebrate start of delayed road project in ASR district
Visakhapatnam: Days after TOI highlighted the delay in the launch of a road project despite an allocation of 11.63 crore, the ASR district administration commenced work on a 12-km stretch from Ballagaruvu to Tuniseebu on Monday. The launch sparked scenes of joy across 11 tribal villages in the region, where residents primarily from particularly vulnerable tribal groups broke into celebratory Dhimsa dance. Interestingly, deputy chief minister Pawan Kalyan had laid the foundation stone for this road project back in December 2024. However, the work remained stalled for over seven months. The ttribal residents staged a unique horseback protest on July 25, from Madrebu to Dayarthi villages, against the delay. Protestors lamented that the delay left them isolated, with villagers forced to walk nearly 20 km to access the nearest ration depot. The lack of proper roads also hampered access to essential services, they said. Following TOI's coverage, the deputy CM's office directed the ASR district collector to expedite the project. In response, officials and contractors began work on Monday, deploying earthmovers to start laying the road. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like TV providers are furious: this gadget gives you access to all channels Techno Mag Learn More The launch event saw participation from panchayat raj deputy engineer Ravikumar, CPM district committee member K.
