According to sources Delhi will Have 15000 cctv cameras. These aren’t the kind of CCTVs you see in an ATM, but are equipped with 36x optical zoom ability so that they can zoom in on a potential terrorist’s nose hair.


2. American security officials remind us that we need lighting and cops on the roads.

US security officials asked Delhi Police to light up the central ridge opposite the hotel. There will also be cops posted at the ridge area. 

3. 500 US secret service agents.

So it’ll feel like this:

4. Even flowerpots aren't safe!

After input from Intelligence agencies that bombs could be hidden anyplace, Special Cell and Crime Branch officers have been asked to be alert about the flower pots around Rajpath and India Gate, 24/7. 

 

5. Aggressive threat analysis.

8. Snipers, commandoes and other awesome stuff.



On ground forces will feature 10,000 paramilitary troopers and an 80,000-member-strong Delhi Police, and we don’t know how many American forces. There also might be snipers prearranged across Delhi's buildings.

10. The CISF is going to try to trick its own men to see how good they are!

 reuters
The CISF has put together a decoy team that will attempt to enter and fly out of India with fake documents. Playing as regular passengers, this crack team will hit airports across India. This is because security arrangements at Delhi airport are low, despite specific alerts from the Intelligence Bureau.
What's really scary is that they just succeeded. “Recently, the decoy team managed to get entry with a fake e-ticket, exposing loopholes in the security of Delhi airport ahead of Obama’s visit. The team members didn’t stop there and tried to fly with fake boarding passes but a CISF official realized that the passes were fake and caught them.” a source told the Daily Mail.

15 Laws And Rights Every Indian Should Know

No comments :



There is nothing more empowering than knowing your country's laws and rights. You never know when you might need to put them into use. While, most of us are aware of some basic laws and rights, here are some of them which we might not know about: 
1. If your cylinder blasts you are eligible to get Rs. 40 lakh cover!

Many of us are uninformed that domestic LPG consumers are entitled to a cover of Rs. 40 lakh in case of loss of life or damage to property due to cylinder bursts. 

2. Your renter can legally become the owner of the property you've rented out


Under the law of adverse possession, a person who can prove possession of your land for 12 years can become the owner of it as well. For facts, one can look up the Limitation Act of 1963. So, if you are leasing or renting property, be careful! 

3. Punishment for receiving gifts? Yes, they can be bribes.

Next time you receive a gift from a coworker, beware! You can be penalized for it. The law is a smart move by the government to avoid taking bribery. Know more about The Foreign Contribution Regulation Act 2010' here.

4. Only female officers can take women to the police station


Not only do male officers have no right to escort a woman but she can refuse to go to the police station between 6 pm to 6 am. In case of a serious crime, a written permit from the magistrate is required for male officers to escort her.

5. The tax recovery officer can arrest and release you



In case of tax violations, the TRO has the right to arrest you. The tax commissioner only decides how long can you be in custody, but your release will be decided by the TRO. This has been mentioned in the Income-tax Act, 1961.

6. No traffic violation laws for non-motorized vehicles


Though it has been made clear that a golf cart is not allowed on the road but there aren't any penalties against non-motor vehicles like a cycles or rickshaws, since they don't fall under the Motor Vehicles Act.

Moreover, live-in relationships are considered to be 'equal to marriage' if certain conditions are met few of which are pooling of financial and domestic arrangements, entrusting the responsibility, sexual relationship, bearing children, socialization in public and intention, conduct of the parties, etc. This is done to protect women under the Domestic Violence Act. Also, children born out of live-in relationships have the right to inherit their parent's property.

9. Political parties can solicit your vehicle during elections


During the time of elections, a political party can solicit your car or bike for campaigning purposes after deciding a settlement with you. Also, parties cannot offer free rides to and fro from poll booths. 

10. If you have been fined once in the day you maybe excused after that


Riding around without a helmet can land you into trouble, but once you are fined for it, the chalaanslip can get you out of being fined for the same till midnight. Yes, but this is not an encouragement to do so. Be safe while driving.

11. You don't have to pay the MRP, you can buy for less


MRP is the Maximum Retail Price. As consumers, you have the right to bargain for a price below that. However, a seller can not go beyond the MRP.

12. If you aren't paid, file a complaint immediately


The Limitation Act states that if you aren't paid by someone who is contracted to pay you, you need to file a complaint within 3 years. After that time period your suit most likely will be dismissed, so being lazy about this is not an option.

13. 3 months in jail for PDA! (Public Display of Affection)


PDA within its limits is allowed but any obscene activity is punishable by law for upto 3 months. Since the word obscene has not been defined, couples are often harassed by policemen.

14. Head constables have limited prosecution power


No head constable can fine you for any offence which presently has a penalty for more than Rs.100. But violation of more than one rule can result in a challan of higher value. This was issued by the Delhi Traffic Police and information about the same is available on their Facebook page.

The 1861 Police Act clearly states that a police officers is always on duty. If he or she witnesses an act of crime or if an incident is brought to their knowledge they can't say "I am not on duty" even if they aren't in uniform. Of course, they are entitled to some rest because of the the hard work that they put in to their work.

Watch BILL GATES Drinking Water Made From Human Poop In This Ground-breaking Video

No comments :




We have all heard of astronauts drinking water extracted from poop. But to think of the process as becoming part of society is something we haven’t been able to imagine.  
Bill Gates is funding a project that produces clean drinking water from feces. And to make evident the purity of the water extracted, Good Guy Bill Gates drank it himself.
Named Omniprocessor, the machine is alleged to be capable of producing 86,000 litres of water in a single day! It has been developed by Janicki Bioenergy, whose founder Peter Janicki personally journeyed to Africa and India to understand the problem of waste disposal.
Writing on his blog, Gates has said that the machine could be a ‘great fit’ in India. If things work out well, the project could become a blessing for developing countries, solving the problem of waste disposal and providing clean water and electricity.
This video shows, in layman terms, the science behind converting waste into drinking water. Watch Bill Gates drink water that was human poop only five minutes ago.
