Home minister Rajnath Singh reviews security situation in Jammu and Kashmir

Home minister Rajnath Singh arrives in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir.(HT Photo) Union home minister Rajnath Singh, along with National Security Adviser Ajit Doval, arrived here on a two-day visit to review the security situation in the state. This is Singh’s first visit to Jammu and Kashmir after the imposition of governor’s rule last month. Singh chaired a high-level meeting of officials at Hari Niwas where top personnel from the army and paramilitary, and administrative officers participated. Singh was briefed about security in the state, especially in the Valley and south Kashmir, and the situation along the Line of Control (LoC). He was accompanied by Doval, Union home secretary Rajiv Gauba, and joint secretary J&K Gyanesh Kumar. The officials briefed Singh on security for Amarnath Yatra and the impact of resuming operations after a month of unilateral ceasefire in the month of Ramzan. Singh also held a meeting with Governor NN Vohra and discussed security issues, developmental projects and issues related to the youth. Last month, Singh had visited the state and chaired a high-level meeting of officials when unilateral ceasefire was in place, along with former chief minister Mehbooba Mufti. He also visited north Kashmir’s Kupwara district where he held meetings with delegations and addressed a sports conclave in Srinagar. Since that visit, not only has the BJP withdrawn its support from the PDP, forcing Mehbooba to resign as chief minister, even the state has come under governor’s rule. Since then, eight militants, three civilians, and three policemen have been killed in different incidents of violence. During his stay in Kashmir, sources said Singh will not meet any mainstream leader or leaders from the BJP.

Security company in Bellevue vandalized

BELLEVUE, Neb. (KMTV) - An Omaha home security company based out of Bellevue is using its own camera to help track down a thief who stole items from outside their building. Chris Malmberg, the owner of Omaha Security Systems Inc. says an unidentified man stole nearly $300 worth of landscaping Sunday night. "The motion sensors went off and I got a notification on my phone that he was there. We saw him take the plants, we watched him drive away and then immediately contacted police," said Malmberg. "He was real nervous, but he ended up stealing shrubbery, Hosta plants, I mean - never in my life have I ever known somebody to steal landscaping." Malmberg said the plants could be replaced, but what's frustrating is that this is one of several vandalism incidents his business has experienced since OSSI moved into the building near Jefferson and Mission Ave. "We've had vandalism, we've had items stolen, or attempted to be stolen, with the security that we...

Study: Majority of U.S. Broadband Households Concerned About Security of IoT Devices

As Internet-connected devices become more ubiquitous, security and privacy concerns of end users are also on the rise. Simply installing security systems in smart homes is no longer enough. Security integrators must also consider bolstering cybersecurity measures when installing their systems. A recently released whitepaper from IoT research firm Parks Associates, titled “Residential Security and Encryption: Setting the Standard, Protecting Consumers,” reveals that 64% of U.S. broadband households are concerned about security and privacy when using their connected devices. Parks Associates also found that the majority of homeowners assume security integrators are addressing their cybersecurity concerns. In fact, a Parks Associates survey of U.S. security owners found 63% of professionally monitored subscribers believe the wireless signals from their system are encrypted, even though encryption is currently not the industry-wide standard. While the whitepaper outlines a few ...

Ring Alarm review: A great DIY home security system with the potential to become even better

Ring builds some of our favorite video doorbells and security camera/outdoor lighting mashups. Now the company—recently acquired by Amazon—is moving inside the home with a strong and inexpensive DIY home security system: Ring Alarm. It’s a fantastic product today, and Ring says it will only get better with time. Ring Alarm is positioned as a mainstream home security system, and while you won’t find a great deal of innovation here (there’s nothing like the Nest Detect sensor that comes with the much-more-expensive Nest Secure system , for example), it’s already equipped with everything it needs to grow into a comprehensive smart home system. Ring Alarm doesn’t support smart lighting controls, door locks, thermostats, garage-door openers, or other common smart home products today, and there’s a very short list of supported third-party products. But it lacks nothing needed to support those and similar devices down the road. And in an intervi...
