🚨 🇯🇲 HURRICANE MELISSA OBLITERATES JAMAICA Hurricane Melissa just turned Jamaica into a disaster zone. St. Elizabeth parish is completely submerged. Black River and Santa Cruz are ruins. Hospitals damaged. Hundreds homeless. The beast hit with 185 mph winds before limping offshore, but the damage is apocalyptic. Nearly 80 percent of the island has no power. Roads collapsed. Crops wiped. Recovery crews can't reach flooded zones. Jamaica's infrastructure, already fragile, just got flattened. Hospitals are overwhelmed. Water systems compromised. This is going to take years to rebuild. Melissa reminded everyone: nature doesn't negotiate. Source: Nationwide90FM, NBC

A facelift for buildings. A transformation in service. A warmer space for citizens. A stronger workplace for police Ghaziabad Police Commissionerate has given its police stations and buildings a new face and a renewed purpose—making them more hospitable, comfortable and citizen-friendly. In line with the vision of Hon’ble CM UP Shri Yogi Adityanath Ji and under the directions of DGP UP Shri Rajeev Krishna, the goals outlined during Police Manthan for renovation, reconstruction and upgradation of police infrastructure are being actively translated on the ground. Under the leadership of CP Ghaziabad Shri J. Ravinder Goud, several administrative offices, police stations, Crime Branch units and Police Lines buildings have been renovated, beautified and upgraded. Along with this infrastructural facelift, service delivery, work culture and citizen experience have also been strengthened. A significant milestone in this journey is the certification and standardisation of 4 police stations in Ghaziabad under the ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System. New look. Better service. Greater trust. Kudos to POLICE COMMISSIONERATE GHAZIABAD and the team of officers behind this endeavour. #UPPolice #GhaziabadPolice #PoliceManthan #CitizenCentricPolicing #SmartPolicing
