Advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) cameras have been installed at busy locations including the Oppanakkara Street and Big Bazaar Street in view of the Deepavali festival, said City Police Commissioner V. Balakrishnan here on Saturday.
Around 110 advanced cameras had been fixed along major stretch of Big Bazaar Street and more cameras would be installed to an extended length to prevent and detect crimes, the Commissioner said after taking part in an awareness session and medical camp conducted by the Coimbatore City Police at the Police Recruits School.
Over 2,000 police personnel had been deployed at busy areas including Cross Cut Road, Oppanakkara Street, and Gandhipuram, the Commissioner said.
“We are judges and therefore, cannot act like Mughals of a bygone era ... the writ courts in the guise of doing justice cannot transcend the barriers of law,” the High Court of Karnataka observed while setting aside an order of a single judge, who in 2016 had extended the lease of a public premises allotted to a physically challenged person to 20 years contrary to 12-year period stipulated in the law.
The High Court of Karnataka on Monday declined to interfere, at present, in the investigation against a Bharatiya Janata Party worker, who is among the accused persons facing charges of circulating obscene clips, related to “morphed” images and videos clips related to Prajwal Revanna, former Hassan MP, in public domain through pen drives and other modes.
The 16th edition of Bhoomi Habba was held on June 8, at the Visthar campus. The festival drew a vibrant crowd who came together to celebrate eco-consciousness through a variety of engaging activities, creative workshops, panel discussions, interactive exhibits and performances, all centered around this year’s theme: “Save Water, Save Lives.”
