Acting on the inputs from Army Intelligence, the Amethi police arrested two persons from Mawaiya hamlet and recovered a satellite phone from their possession.
Soon after the arrest, the sleuths of the Army Intelligence, local intelligence unit and Anti-Terrorists Squad grilled the youths to verify if they had any terror link.
Sources said that the Amethi police got a message from the Army Intelligence on Thursday about the activation of a banned satellite phone in Mawaiya village under model police station in Ramganj.
The senior officers immediately directed SWAT team in-charge Dhirendra Kumar Verma, surveillance cell in-charge Vivek Singh and Ramganj police station in-charge Mithilesh Singh to take action.
Later, in a joint operation the police team raided the house where the satellite phone was active. In the raid, the joint team found a grey colour Korea-made satellite phone and charger in a room of the house. The police arrested Jabbar Ali alias Bajaj, a resident of Mawaiya present in the house and Shamim alias Lallu, hailing from Kandhai Hanumanganj locality of Pooreypandey Siwanganj in Pratapgarh district.
According to sources, during interrogation by senior officers of Army Intelligence, ATS and police, Shamim revealed that earlier he used to work in Saudi Arabia and had found the satellite phone lying near the airport four years ago. Shamim said he gave the phone to his brother-in-law, Jabbar as he did not have a charger for it.
Shamim disclosed that after arranging the charger he brought the phone in Amethi and on Thursday, he charged the phone but as he switched it on the police raided his house and arrested him.
Shamim said that he did not know that the recovered phone was banned.
New areas being brought
under e-governance in UP
PNS | Lucknow
New areas are being brought under e-governance and Digital India Mission in Uttar Pradesh and the National Informatics Centre (NIC) is putting in efforts to make it possible very soon.
The NIC is a unit under the Electronics and Information Technology Ministry of the Government of India and is engaged in providing digital services in UP on an all-India basis.
At present, it is providing several services in the Chief Minister’s Office, prominent among which are Jan Sunwai Portal (Integrated Grievance Redressal System or IGRS), CM Helpline 1076, CM Relief Fund Portal, CMIS Portal, e-Cabinet, Nivesh Mitra, anti-land mafia portal and anti-corruption portal.
In the coming days, the Protocol Postal will be launched to take care of all protocol related issues. These include approval of the tours of all dignitaries coming to UP, their transport, security arrangements, boarding and lodging arrangements etc. All related documents and bills etc will also be uploaded online for quick disposal.
In addition, it is also proposed to connect citizens to the e-Cabinet portal. Remarkably, the Jansunwai Portal (IGRS) has been hugely successful in the state. So far, 3,54,37,467 complaints have been registered on it, out of which 3,48,87,377 have been disposed of. It also has the provision that citizens can register their application, monitor its progress, send reminders and suggestions.
On the CM Helpline 1076, so far 1.01 crore complaints have been registered out of which 96 per cent have been disposed of. Through the CM Relief Fund (CMRF) Portal, so far Rs 393.72 crore has been disbursed among 22,006 beneficiaries.
The progress of industrial investment proposals worth more than Rs 1 crore is monitored through the CMIS Portal. Out of 13,773 such proposals, 5,132 have been completed and work is in progress on 8,641 projects. E-Cabinet is a very significant service which enables remote participation of ministers in meetings through video conferencing, with electronic meeting papers, and monitoring the actions taken as per the decisions.
“The chief ministers, ministers, chief secretary, additional chief secretary, principal secretary, secretary information and other secretaries concerned are connected to it,” a government spokesman said.
The Nivesh Mitra has played a very important role in bringing industrial investments to the state. On this portal, 354 services of 29 government departments have been integrated. It facilitates complete end-to-end solutions without any physical touch points for application submission, online payment, tracking and monitoring, approvals, online availability of approved certificates/NOCs, etc, as also consolidated payment for all submitted applications.
Uttar Pradesh ranks second in Ease of Doing Business after implementation of Nivesh Mitra.
Through the Anti-Land Mafia Portal, so far 3,26,342 cases have been received and out of these, 3.22 lakh cases have been disposed of, leading to freeing of 49,516 hectares land in rural areas, and 1,52,54,875 square feet land in urban areas.
