Now exclusive phone network for officials

In a major policy decision, an inter-ministerial committee approved a proposal to set up a dedicated and fully secure network for defence and security use using broadband telephony. The pilot project would be started in Delhi by the year-end with 5,000 officials connected through Voice-over-Internet Protocol (VoIP).

After last month’s serial blasts in Mumbai, Maharashtra Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan had complained that he could not reach his top officers, including the police chief, for nearly 15 minutes due to “complete collapse” of the mobile phone network.

Sources said secure VoIP customer premise equipment (CPE) would be integrated with existing landline numbers and restricted exchange (RAX) which is a limited secure phone system exclusively for the Prime Minister, his Cabinet colleagues, senior secretaries and private secretaries of ministers.

Guj Min meets 14 fishermen released by Pak

Gujarat Fisheries Minister Dilip Sanghani today met the 14 fishermen, who were released by the Pakistani government last week after being jailed for straying into the country's maritime territorial waters.

 The fishermen met Sanghani in his office in Gandhinagar after their arrival from the Wagah border and apprised him about the treatment meted out to them in the Pakistani jail. "These fishermen told me about quality of meal served to them during their detention in the Pakistani jail.

 Each one of them was given only five rotis during a day and a vegetable," Sanghani said. Besides, they were asked to do cleaning and other works, he said.

The 14 fishermen, who were among the 274 detained in Pakistani jails for varying periods, were released on July 28 from the Malir Jail in Karachi after spending nearly 15 months behind bars.

Lawmakers on the other side of lawl

Are the lawmakers abiding with law ? You all are mulling that as to why we have put the question before you. According to Delhi traffic police rules, the elected representatives of the parliament are not liable to put red light on their vehicle but several MPs have established themselves above this ruling.

When the team of News 24 channel interacted with some members in the parliament who are enjoying the facility in an unlawful manner, they had no answer. Senior Samajwadi party leader Revati Raman Singh and BJP leade Kalraj Mishra promised not to repeat the fault but they didn’t drop the sign of power which signifies them more than their status.

Well, the law says that such facility can only avail by the president, vice-president, prime minister, chief minister, governor, former prime ministers and chief of the armed forces.
Normally, the leaders never are red in the face over misdeed but it exhibits that they are very much passionate to put red on the top of their vehicles.
