A proposal by the Bruhath Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) aims to enure that women in Bengaluru get a wrist band to keep them safe, reports the Times of India. The wearable module will help women in trouble alert their close ones along with a central monitoring agency by moving their arm in a particular way. The band, nicknamed the Raksha Band after the Raksha Bandhan, will be funded by the Centre under the Nirbhaya fund.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
