- Chief Minister Manik Saha announced the state has launched the 'Track Me' function on the 112 India emergency app, which he said is the first state-level rollout and is intended to give women and the elderly faster location-based assistance.
- The government said recruitment for 218 sub-inspectors will begin shortly and that approval is in place to recruit 916 additional constables, steps officials frame as both a capacity boost and a job-creation measure.
