For citizens in #Gurugram #Gurgaon, @DC_Gurugram has launched a @WhatsApp chatbot for its citizens. We worked with them to ensure citizens have an additional platform to seek help.
Weblink: wa.me/919643277788?t…

Please save the Phone number 👇🏼👇🏼 #thread Image
This is a service *Only* for District #Gurugram. Please don't use it for testing. It will only overload the system.

This is an effort to reach patients at home and help them. As the Bot stabilises in a few days, we will add more services to it.
The Bot was a race against time. We hope it will help people and help the administration to reach them and taken care of them.
As it becomes better, we will try and roll it out to more districts
Stay safe. #Gurugram Image
An incredible set of people worked day and night to make this work. The @WhatsApp team, working with @DAYTechGGN,
@myUpchar @meddo_in @DunzoIt ensured a platform that can provide a range of services. Image

Following the "revelation" of #WhatsApp chats of Bollywood actors, a short #thread on the #tech, #encryption #surveillance and #law. How did the police access the chats and what it means for privacy. 1/n
Messaging apps like #WhatsApp and @signalapp offer end-to-end #encryption. Incidentally, the protocol for both was designed by one of my favourite engineers and genius @moxie and his group.
Two key things to remember about accessing data -- is the data at rest (on your device) or in transit (when you hit the send message). If it's in transit, then e-to-e encryption makes its difficult to intercept. Only 10 agencies in India are notified to do this interception

The #chineseincursions into India and the #Covid_19 pandemic threat -- are two major back-to-back intelligence failures -- collection & analysis -- for India. My column for @DeccanChronicle
deccanchronicle.com/opinion/column…
The failure of intelligence is a political failure. No government wants to reform Indian intelligence for current and future threats
deccanchronicle.com/opinion/column…
Reform after reform in intelligence is reactive and half-baked. RN Kao attempted one after the 1962 war with China. That experiment has also failed

Why did the plethora of Indian security agencies miss the massive Chinese build up? Turns out, it hadn't. But there were many Kargil-type failures in assessing Chinese intentions. My piece
deccanchronicle.com/opinion/column…
The ITBP and the army has elaborate patrolling protocols that are jointly planned by MoD and MHA. They carry GPS and collect waypoints as they patrol. Why did they miss out on the Chinese build up? Or did they?

XXIV Corps Commander, a former DGMI, was warned about Chinese moves to change status quo? Why did he miss reading the reason leaves in his op area?

A little bit of focussed policing can do wonders for citizens. Have been witnessing how @TrafficGGM has been working to reduce fatalities and accidents. The numbers speak for themselves. A short #thread
@mlkhattar @anilvijminister @nsvirk
In January 2019 there were 122 road accidents. By December 2019 this came down to 81.
In the same period fatalities reduced from 50 to 27.
@mlkhattar @anilvijminister @nsvirk @TrafficGGM
In January 2020, there were 85 road accidents. By June they are at 33.
Now there's a dedicated effort to map the entire district and the highways to ensure better signs, better road engineering and deployment of @TrafficGGM personnel.

Probably the most detailed and factual report on the Chinese intrusion into India. @ajaishukla has some very worrying details #thread
thewire.in/security/in-ta…
It emerges that the Chinese have built a metalled road up to Finger 4. Why did India not react to this with force? 2/2
The Chinese are reacting to an Indian attempt to build a road in the area. Why did India not press ahead and make it a metalled one? 3/3

Today, after nearly 26 days of doing relief work in Gurugram was perhaps one of the most satisfying days. Here's a #thread on how @cdgurugram & @gurgaonpolice pull off smooth relief operations from out Gurugram COVID19 Integrated Command Centre Image
The Integrated Command Centre builds on the Ops room concept of the Indian Army and integrates key stakeholders in the government and civil population. So @police_haryana @cdgurugram @DC_Gurugram and @gurgaonpolice along with citizen volunteers came together for #COVIDー19 Image
We received an SOS day before from @antrakhurana and her friends about workers trapped in Gurugram without food supplies. A team from the Gurugram COVID19 Integrated Command Centre (GCICC) was immediately sent to verify. I and our police team spent four hours verifying Image
