Director General and Inspector-General of Police (DG&IGP) Om Prakash formally inaugurated the website www.mangalorecitypolice.com in the presence of IGP (Western Range) Amrit Paul and Mangaluru City Police Commissioner S Murugan on Tuesday, along with launching a new user-friendly mobile application for Android phones for traffic related concerns.

Web portal with FAQs, online forms

The new dedicated website provides details such as contact numbers of top police officials such as the police commissioner, deputy police commissioner and assistant police commissioner along with those of inspectors of all police stations.

Speaking after the inauguration of the web portal, DCP (Law & Order) K Santosh Babu told mediapersons that all application forms pertaining to permits would be available online for the convenience of citizens. The website will also contain a section on frequently asked questions (FAQs), along with which there will be a facility for people to report incidents occurring in the city commissionerate limits with information and images, he said.

One-of-its-kind mobile app

The Mangaluru City Police also launched an app which will be shortly available in Google Play store on Android phones.

DCP Santosh Babu said that the app would primarily include six sections such as – Traffic Offence, Live Traffic, Emergency, Traffic Signs, Report Incident and Contact numbers.

One interesting feature in the app is the option available to view ‘Live Traffic’ – which will show the user convenient traffic routes to get around in Mangaluru city at real-time and also show if chosen routes were congested with traffic.

Similar to the option imbedded in the web portal, the option ‘Report Incident’ can be used to report traffic emergencies or violations directly to top police officials such as police commissioner, two deputies and police control room with information and images.

Besides this, people also can get helpline numbers like women help lines, child help line, fire service, ambulance, control etc.

After inaugurating the web portal, Mr Om Prakash told mediapersons that the demand for three new police stations in Mangaluru city police commissionerate limits (Traffic South, Kaikamba and Jeppu) would be taken into consideration.

With regard to the demands of retired police personnel, he said that the department had formed a committee to go through details of new schemes that could accommodate the demands of retired police personnel, since Arogya Bhagya could not be extended to such personnel.

Bengaluru, Jul 28: After the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) reduced the syllabi for Classes 9 to 12 due to COVID-19 pandemic, the Karnataka government has followed the suit. The Department of Public Instruction has omitted the chapters on legendary south Indian rulers Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan from the textbooks of Class 7 in their attempt to reduce syllabus for state board schools by 30 per cent. 

The department, however, has decided to retain similar chapters on Tipu Sultan in 6th and 10th Classes, though the syllabus in text books for all classes from 1 to 10th has been trimmed. 

The trimmed textbooks uploaded on the website of the Department of State Education Research and Training (DSERT) by Karnataka state Textbook Society revealed removal of chapters on Tipu Sultan for the seventh grade.

Justifying the decision, officials said, "students study similar chapters in Class 6 and more in the 10th grade." Yet another senior official from the Text Book Society said, "Trimming does not mean we have removed half of the syllabus from textbooks. It is only keeping in mind the repetition we have condensed the chapters. In case students study about a particular dynasty in higher grades, then the same had been removed from lower grades."

A few months ago, there was an uproar over dropping of content on Tipu Sultan and MLAs from the ruling BJP also demanded the same and petitioned to the Chief Minister. Even an expert committee led by Prof Baraguru Ramachandrappa suggested to not drop any content on the historic figure. However, the department still decided to drop lessons from one of the classes while keeping the syllabus short for the next 120 active academic days.

Earlier this month, a controversy had erupted over the CBSE's decision to omit topics like federalism, secularism, citizenship, etc while reducing the syllabus for Classes 9 to 12. The education board had issued a detailed clarification later, stating that topics claimed to be dropped "are either being covered by the rationalised syllabus or in the Alternative Academic Calendar of NCERT".

"The rationalisation of syllabus up to 30 per cent has been undertaken by the Board for nearly 190 subjects of class 9 to 12 for the academic session 2020-21 as a one-time measure only. The objective is to reduce the exam stress of students due to the prevailing health emergency situation and prevent learning gaps," it said.

Last week, the Congress in Uttar Pradesh expressed its concern over 'deliberate and systematic' deletions of chapters related to the freedom struggle and the party's role in it from the Class 10-12 syllabi of the Secondary Education Board.
