Ensure Transportation Fleet Complies With SC Guidelines: RTO To Schools

[ad_1]
Srinagar: Regional Transport authorities have asked the school administrations across the valley to bring their transportation fleet in compliance with the Supreme Court guidelines, indicating that a massive drive to check for rule violations will begin next week.
Quoting an official at the Regional Transport Office (RTO) Kashmir KNO reported that they have received several complaints about violations on various grounds committed by school bus operators in the valley.
He said that after simplifying public transportation, a significant campaign to ensure the safety of school buses transporting children would begin next week.
“We have been receiving numerous complaints on violations and to check on that, a big push will be initiated from next week,” the official said, adding that the Supreme Court has put down certain criteria for educational institutions regarding the safety of school buses carrying children.
Although the educational institutions are already aware of the Supreme Court guidelines, our drive is aimed at ensuring that everyone follows the guidelines, he said, adding that the issue concerns the children’s safety and those found violating the guidelines should not expect any concessions.
“Those who are found violating the Supreme Court guidelines will be dealt with accordingly. However, no one should expect any concession on grounds that school children will suffer, and in that case, they should plan alternate arrangements,” the official said.
Mentioning some of the guidelines, he said the school bus should have a qualified attendant for children on the bus while boarding and deboarding them and the bus should be painted yellow.
As per the Supreme Court guidelines, the school name should be written on the back and front of the bus. The school name and telephone number should also be written and if hired ‘On School Duty’ should be clearly indicated. It should have up-to-date documents like a vehicle permit, fitness certificate, insurance certificate, valid token tax receipt, PUCC, SLD certificate, and GPS certificate.

“School buses will be checked for the installation of speed limit devices as there is a specific and set speed limit for them,” the SC guidelines mention. “The bus should be fitted with a speed governor of specified standard with a maximum speed limit of 40 kph.”
Highlighting the Supreme Court guidelines for a driver, the official said the driver should have at least 5 years experience of driving Heavy Motor Vehicles (HMVs) and carry a complete list of children.
“A driver challaned more than twice a year for red light jumping, violation of lane discipline or allowing unauthorized persons to drive, or challaned even once for over speeding, drunken and dangerous driving should not be employed,” he said.

ICMR devises ethical guidelines for AI use in biomedical research and health

[ad_1]
The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) has recently announced the development of ethical guidelines for the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in biomedical research and health. This is a significant milestone as it marks the first time that such guidelines have been established in India, highlighting the growing recognition of AI’s potential in healthcare and the need to ensure its responsible and ethical use.
The guidelines aim to provide a framework for the ethical use of AI in biomedical research and healthcare, promoting transparency, accountability, and fairness. They address critical issues such as data privacy, bias, accountability, and explainability, ensuring that AI is used responsibly, and its benefits are maximized.
The guidelines outline several ethical principles that researchers and healthcare professionals should follow when developing and using AI systems. These include the respect for human autonomy, the principle of non-maleficence, the promotion of beneficence, and the promotion of justice. These principles ensure that AI is developed and used with a clear understanding of its potential impact on individuals and society as a whole.
The guidelines also emphasize the importance of transparency in AI-based decision-making. Researchers and healthcare professionals must be able to explain how AI systems make decisions and ensure that the decisions are understandable and fair. The guidelines also call for regular audits and evaluations of AI systems to identify and address potential biases or unintended consequences.
Data privacy is another crucial aspect of the guidelines. Researchers and healthcare professionals must ensure that personal data is collected, stored, and used in compliance with relevant laws and regulations. The guidelines also highlight the importance of obtaining informed consent from individuals before using their data.
The development of ethical guidelines for the use of AI in biomedical research and healthcare is a significant step towards ensuring that AI is used responsibly and ethically. It provides a framework for researchers and healthcare professionals to develop and use AI systems in a manner that promotes transparency, accountability, and fairness.

New Social Media Guidelines Violate Basic Fundamental Rights: Mehbooba

[ad_1]
SRINAGAR: PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti on Saturday said the new social media guidelines for the Jammu and Kashmir government employees are in complete violation of the basic fundamental rights of people.
Taking to Twitter, Mehbooba wrote, “Whether it was blacklisting contractors & the social media gag to employees, a clear intimidation of dispossessing people in J&K of their livelihood has emerged. Authorities have become judge, jury & executioner in complete violation of the fundamental rights of people.”
Senior CPIM leader Muhammad Yousuf Tarigami also criticised the circular issued by the Government of Jammu and Kashmir regarding the use of social media by its employees stating that government cannot snatch the rights of employees guaranteed to them by the Constitution.
“Government employee is a citizen also and he has every right to exercise his freedom. A government employee can either support or oppose the government’s view and actions and depriving him of this right is against the law and the very principles of the Constitution,” Tarigami said.
Tarigami said that every criticism within the ambit of law and constitution is justified. “For this freedom and these rights, people have fought and now government can’t take these rights away from the citizens,” he said.
According to the new social media guidelines, no government employee shall, by any utterance, writing, or otherwise discuss or criticize in public or in any meeting of any association or body any policy pursued or action taken by the government nor shall he in any manner participate in any such discussion or criticism.
