MIT Research Looks To Extend Moore's Law

Re: Does Moore's law matter to end users?
A one nm line is about one or two atoms wide, an impossible task! Getting down to 10nm, will be extremely difficult. Even when the chips are made, efficiencies could be daunting. After a while, we run out of those clever workarounds. The laws of physics are like a thick steel wall that we're banging upon with a paper hammer.
Li Tan,
I have no good vision to predict when Moore's law will reach its limitation. But for sure such kind of limit exists - the hardware producer can produce 20nm ICs but how about 2nm, 1nm, even .x nm? Trying to achieve the limit of Moore's law may not mean too much for end users. One day when the limit is achieved, the manufacture needs to think about other ways to improve the speed of computing.

Perhaps not for mobile and desktop PC users, but there are surely computationally intensive processes, where a lot happens in one place before anyhing gets placed on an external network. But, as melgross says, only so many atoms can line up in a given length, the limit is being reached, so I believe Moore's Law, too, will soon be reaching its limit.

The article is interesting but, it covers only half of the problem. So while it's true that manufacturing chips under 14nm will be difficult, and going below 7 may be impossible, the other problem is more important because the laws of physics are more important there. What is that problem? It's that there aren't very many atoms in the width of a line at these small process sizes. By the time we get below, we're talking of just 10 to 20 atom wide line features. It becomes almost impossible to keep electrons withing that line. Starting with 90nm we began to see the problem with Intel,s Netburst. Clever workarounds have been used since then to counter leakage, and other problems resulting from Heisenberg's Law of Uncertainty. Electrons tunnel out of a conductor. Larger conductors have this problem to a very small extent, but it begins to become significant as the surface become a large percentage of the total area of the conductor. At some point, it will be impossible to keep those electrons where they belong, and progress will have ended. Will people care, you ask? Certainly! We have been not only become accustomed to continued progress, but have become habituated to it. One might even say, addicted. When that progress begins to slow, and it has already, as Intel's last few generations have all come in behind schedule, it will become harder to sell new products. When it stops, what will happen then? We're waiting for new technologies to replace the silicon technology we've become accustomed to using. But alternatives aren't just around the corner, they're more than a decade away, and possibly a lot further than that, if possible at all. I expect more clever methods will allow better chips on the same processes, but large improvements depend on smaller processes every two years or so.. When that moves to three, then four, five and then no more smaller processes, only small improvements will be possible without an complete rethinking of computer processes. Whether that will be possible isn't known. Why but a new device if there are no major improvements? This would change everything. Network speeds aren't everything. They are only one part. We still do most of our computing on our devices, not over the network. It's not a world of dumb terminals.
Does Moore's law matter to end users?
The main bottle neck for mobile and desktop PC users these days seems to be network speed rather than processor speed. Is there still much to gain from pushing processor semiconductor density?


Our interpreter, Sharif, instructed us to ask questions. Our group made several inquiries about life in Senegal and the villagers responded—but each time, the oldest of the villagers, who was about 29 years old and held his infant child throughout the meeting, would provide the final definitive answer, perpetually concluding his remarks with a formidable stare toward his comrades, as if daring them to dispute his words.
At that point, a heated discussion broke out amongst the villagers. Sharif interpreted their argument for us into the following dichotomy: Ought we save face and allow these tubap (foreigners) seated before us to continue staring at the world through rose-tinted glasses? Or, as the boy in the red jersey evinced, was it more important to provide a realistic portrayal of our lives? In short, could we—the American students—handle the truth?
"I would move to America tomorrow," the boy said. At that moment I realized that by exposing the uncomfortable truths about his community, the boy was encouraging us to look beneath our surface-level impressions about the lives of the villagers and to grapple with their difficult reality.
I recalled this incident as I read through Parashat Acharei Mot, and it helped me arrive at a new understanding of an apparent redundancy in the verses. Leviticus 18:4-5 states, "You shall fulfill My ordinances and observe My statutes," and then, "You shall observe My statutes and My ordinances." Why the repetition? What are the differences between ordinances and statutes—and furthermore, between fulfillment and observance?
Rashi, in elucidating these verses, acknowledges that some laws in the Torah are more intuitively understandable than others. He explains that "ordinances" are self-evident laws, such as the prohibitions against murder and stealing; concepts inherently found in even the most inchoate creatures. However, "statutes" serve as God's decrees whose purpose we cannot divine and which cause us to ask, "Why keep a law if we cannot understand the benefit it provides to ourselves or society at large?" These are the laws that may bewilder us and prompt us to search for their meaning, such as the dietary laws or the prohibition against entwining wool and linen.
Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook, the first Ashkenazi chief rabbi of Palestine, offers another distinction between God's laws. He interprets a beautiful midrash that describes the ink on the Torah scroll as 'black fire' and the holy parchment in between the letters as 'white fire.' According to Rav Kook, the 'black fire' represents God's explicit commands. The 'white fire' reveals a more esoteric Torah, God's implicit commands.
Rashi's distinction between ordinances and statues and Rav Kook's distinction between explicit and implicit commands both help to explain the repetition of fulfillment and observance in the verses in Leviticus. When I read God telling me to fulfill, observe—and observe again, I read the message that fulfillment—doing a mitzvah that's easily understood—occupies a very low bar on the hierarchy of demonstrating my commitment to God. In contrast, God's instruction to "observe" requires me to keep even the laws that I may not understand and that require deeper introspection. I interpret the additional "observe" as implying that keeping these commandments is so difficult that we need to be reminded multiple times to do so.
Recalling my experience in Senegal, I understand the redundancy in the verses in Leviticus as connected to our responsibility to confront and take action not only on issues to which we can easily relate but also on issues that are more difficult to understand. The young Senegalese villager who told us about his desire to move to America forced us to question our understanding of his community, to confront the challenges they were facing and to consider how we could respond to their needs. When we seek to support people in developing countries we must be willing to hear stories and perspectives that seem foreign to us and may challenge our assumptions. And just as we are obligated to fulfill and observe God's commandments, even those that are less intuitive or aren't explicitly articulated, we also must be willing to take the necessary action to support people in developing countries even if taking this action is difficult.
As we read Parashat Acharei Mot this year and encounter God's ordinances and statutes, let the black and white fire ignite in us the passion to fulfill and observing our responsibilities to those, like the villagers in Senegal, who invite us in to share in their struggles and their solutions.
 Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook, Orot HaTorah 4:1.


And then, yesterday, we were at that big choir meeting in the small town.
A very cute little town, and Ceridwen and I, when checking out the places where performances would be held (while on the market square some functionary held a very long speech), decided to go there some time in autumn, and stay overnight, because one of the main attraction is wineries.
The morning was nice and cool, I couldn't decide on what to wear and settled on black jeans and a white T-Shirt, and brought a shirt more suitable for the stage, as well as a dress, and a second pair of shoes, just in case. Which was stupid, because it meant that I did not know what to wear for our performance until a minute before it and had to change on the street. But that was later.
We took a bus, which fit the whole choir and some husbands, boyfriends, and parents, and had enough space on the front for everyone worrying about travel sickness.
At these events, every choir has about 15 to 20 minutes for their performance, then the audience has to run off to the next site where they hope to hear something they like. In a very small town, this works a lot better than in, say, Frankfurt, where you are better off to find the most promising site early and stay there.
I wasn't too impressed with the first and third choir I listened to -- actually, I was beginning to fret, "they are all singing out of tune, I bet we are singing out of tune, too, ahhh, this is horrible!" and Ceridwen had to take the straight man role to my diva again and calm me down.
Second was good, but we knew that. Fourth was a mixed choir singing contemporary sacred pieces, that one was very good. Their final piece, an "Exultate" by Karl Jenkins had us agree that the bassos must have hated it and the sopranos loved it to bits.
Then it was time for us to sing. We were on a nice little backyard -- unfortunately, the half of it where we were singing caught the full strength of the afternoon sun and held it between high walls, which also kept out the cool breeze. The audience got the places in the shade, with the cool stones at their backs, which was probably better than doing it the other way around -- we would not have had an audience if they had to stand in the sun!
We did not let ourselves get caught in forgetting our cues, lyrics, choreography, or anything else, and (mostly) did not sing out of tune. Well, I did, because the descant I was singing solo over two altos in one piece had to be so soft that I really could not make out if I was on the fourth or on the fifth. Which annoyed me a lot (lots of things do, and it's getting worse, I feel), because the sound is as different as red and blue, and it felt as if I was expected to determine colour blindfolded.
We had one set with the choir, one with the ensemble (which is only 10 singers), and I was in both, so I stood in the sun for close to a full hour, got sunburned badly, and couldn't stop worrying that the tickling I felt on my back was not sweat, but a lost wasp trying to find a way out. (It wasn't).
But we were good, and when I'm on stage, I can be cool about anything. Even sun, imaginary wasps, and misplaced fifths.
On the way back, the autobahn was closed because of a burning car, so getting home also took longer than expected. The night, however, was nice and cool again, and I slept well.

TP Employment Attorneys Interviewed on Trump's Labor Law Changes
From The Baton Rouge Business Report
Taylor Porter labor and employment law attorneys Vicki Crochet, Partner and Practice Team Leader, and Tom Peak, Partner, were interviewed in a Baton Rouge Business Report article, "Specifics Remain to be Seen, But Most Expect Significant Labor Law Changes Under President Trump," published on April 26.
The publication interviewed several attorneys across the Baton Rouge area on topics such as overtime rules, minimum wage, foreign workers, maternity leave, federal judiciary, discrimination concerns, and changes under the EEOC, NLRB and OSHA.
Below is the article:
Scott Huffstetler of Kean Miller has been practicing labor and employment law for 14 years. Like all of his colleagues, he's closely watching how the new president will change the landscape.
"There is an air of excitement that comes in every time there's a new administration," he says. "And there is some anxiety among employers, because so much of employment law is driven by the executive branch."
Generally speaking, employers can expect less federal oversight under President Donald Trump, who has promised a more business-friendly administration than his predecessor. His budget, which doesn't carry the force of law but does illustrate the administration's priorities, proposes deep cuts for enforcement agencies.
However, not every Trump proposal is aimed at making employers' lives easier. As a candidate, Trump promised to mandate paid maternity leave, and at times suggested he might support a higher federal minimum wage, Huffstetler notes.
And businesses could be drafted into Trump's promised immigration crackdown. It probably will be harder to get skilled foreign labor into the country, and employers can expect greater scrutiny of their workers' immigration status. Trump wants to make E-Verify, an online system used to confirm workers' employment eligibility, mandatory nationwide, "which would be more burdensome for employers," Huffstetler says.
Vicki Crochet and Thomas Peak, employment and labor attorneys with Taylor Porter, expect to see less emphasis on protecting the LGBT community from discrimination. Peak anticipates the appointments of more business-friendly federal judges, from the U.S. Supreme Court on down. The Senate's Republican majority held up many of former President Barack Obama's appointees, leaving Trump with the opportunity to fill more than 100 vacancies on the federal bench.
Appointees to the National Labor Relations Board have staggered terms, so it will take time for Trump to reshape the board, Peak says. But a less union-friendly NLRB might have a chance to end expedited "quickie elections" for workplace unionization, stop permitting "micro-units" to represent certain departments of larger companies, and roll back the recent expansion of the "joint employer standard."
While the president can't change the law without Congress, the executive branch has broad discretion over federal contracting. The Obama administration raised the minimum wage for federal contractors to $10.20 per hour and prohibited discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender.
Mark Adams, a labor and employment attorney with Jones Walker, has many clients who are federal contractors, and many of them are frustrated that Trump hasn't yet made the federal bureaucracy easier to deal with. But it takes time for any new administration to get their hands around the job, Adams says, and that's especially true with this one.
"Apart from the dysfunction in the current administration, they are way behind in filling key positions in the various agencies," he says. "The rank-and file folks that are in charge of enforcing the law and administering these various directives kind of don't know where to go right now, because they're not getting any direction."
On March 27, Trump rescinded Obama's Fair Pay and Safe Workplaces executive order, which would have required prospective federal contractors to disclose labor law violations. But Adams cautions his clients not to expect too much change overnight, nor to assume things will be radically different under a new administration.
"Keep complying with the rules and regulations you've been complying with," Adams tells his clients. "Right now, there's no rush to engage in any wholesale change."
Eventually, he thinks regulations that put heavy administrative burdens on employers could be on the chopping block. He doesn't think LGBT protections fall into that category, although there could be some exemptions for religious organizations.
Adams does not expect the Obama administration's proposed rule raising the white-collar overtime exemption threshold from $23,600 to $47,746—which would make more workers eligible for overtime and is currently tied up in court—to survive. He says the threshold might still get raised, just not as high as the last administration preferred. Adams says companies he knows of that adjusted their salary structures in anticipation of the Obama overtime rule taking affect seem to be sticking with those changes for now.
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission requires employers with 100 or more employees and federal contractors with 50 or more employees to file EEO-1 reports with employment data categorized by race, gender and job category. Adams says human resources directors have been "wringing their hands" about a new requirement to provide salary information in that report.
That new requirement is "dead as a doornail," Adams believes. It hasn't been repealed yet, but he predicts it will be.
How will the Trump administration affect labor and employment law?
Generally speaking, employers can expect less federal scrutiny. Beyond that, it's hard to say for sure, but here are the main topics that experts are watching.
Overtime rule: The Obama administration's rule change making more people eligible for overtime, by raising the white-collar exemption threshold from $23,600 to $47,746, is in legal limbo. Trump's labor secretary nominee dodged questions about the rule at a March 22 hearing, but the administration likely will let it die.
Minimum wage: Trump has said wages are too high, but at other times expressed openness to a higher minimum wage, which would require an act of Congress.
Foreign workers: Employers are likely to face greater scrutiny about the immigration status of their employees and new hurdles for foreign worker visas. Trump wants to make the federal E-Verify system mandatory.
EEOC: The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission may focus less on pay discrimination and LGBT protection and be less aggressive generally. The commission is likely to scrap or alter plans to combat discrimination by requiring employers to provide pay data by gender, race and ethnicity.
NLRB: Under Obama, the National Labor Relations Board consistently sided with employees and unions. Expect that to change dramatically as Trump's nominees cycle onto the board.
OSHA: The Occupational Safety and Health Administration may be less aggressive about enforcement and back away from Obama-era initiatives, such as one meant to protect workers from respirable silica and the electronic recordkeeping rule scheduled to take effect in July.
Maternity leave: On the campaign trail, Trump promised to guarantee six weeks of paid time off for new mothers.
Federal judiciary: Trump is likely to appoint conservative, business-friendly judges.

The awards and honours Black Dog Ride has received in recognition of the tireless work of Black Dog Riders in raising awareness of depression and suicide prevention across the nation.
Every quarter three much deserving charitable organisations are chosen for the RACT's Community Act of Royalty Program. Black Dog Ride is honoured to be been chosen as one of these recipients for our work in suicide prevention, particularly reflecting the hard work and dedication of our Tasmanian Coordinator Betty Parssey.
Betty was thrilled to hear the news, "Help is out there and Black Dog Ride encourages people to do reach for that support, and not be ashamed to admit they are struggling with mental health, which is no different to other health issues. Any loss of life is a tragedy and anything that can be offered to prevent this is paramount."
Thank you the RACT, and thank you to Betty and Black Dog Ride's Team Tassie!
Jon Benham, Black Dog Ride's Territory Coordinator, has been honoured for his work with Black Dog Ride by winning the NT Pride of Australia Medal for his selfless, tireless actions which have enriched the lives of his community members.
In 2016, Jon's hard work and dedication increased participation in Black Dog Ride's Darwin 1 Dayer by over 60%, giving Darwin arguably the highest per capita participation rate in Australia, a poignant figure given the NT has double the suicide rate of the rest of the nation.
Since then, Jon has embraced every opportunity to utilise his role with Black Dog Ride to engage NT locals with awareness of mental health and suicide prevention.
Jon said it was humbling to win the award."It's taking away the stigma and creating conversations, this is the first step to making a change," he said.
Black Dog Ride is proud and grateful that Jon's work with Black Dog Ride and his dedication to suicide prevention has been honoured at a national level.
The NSW Volunteer of the Year Awards is an annual program launched in 2007 by The Centre for Volunteering to recognise the outstanding efforts of the 2 million+ volunteers in NSW, and to promote the importance of volunteering to the community.
In 2016, Black Dog Ride's own Todd Taylor, Volunteer Coordinator for the Port Macaquarie Region since 2013, was awarded The NSW Volunteer of the Year Award in the4 Category of Volunteer Management. Todd's amazing work in coordinating volunteers for Black Dog Ride's annual 1 Dayer suicide prevention activity, with local fundraising supporting Lifeline Mid Coast, is well deserved. Todd says he really appreciates the team effort required to organise local activities."
Congratulations Todd and thank you for your tireless work in supporting Black Dog Ride.
It gave Black Dog Ride's Team great pride to learn that the Founder of Black Dog Ride, Steve Andrews, had been announced as a State Finalist in the 2014 Australian of the Year Awards! Steve was a finalist in the WA Local Hero category for his work as a mental health campaigner with Black Dog Ride.
Although Steve Andrews did not win, Black Dog Ride was thrilled to see at least three mental health campaigners nominated, ensuring the national conversation around mental wellbeing and suicide prevention is maintained. To view all Australian of the Year Nominess, click here.
On 26th September, White Pages® recognised Steve Andrews' dedication to raising awareness of depression by selecting him for the cover of the Perth Residential White Pages®.
Each year, Sensis®, the publisher of the White Pages®, recognises the efforts of local people in their communities by celebrating their achievements on the cover. Product Manager Sarah Simpson says, "We are delighted to recognise Steve's efforts keeping his community healthy. He is someone who is making a positive impact on health and wellbeing across Australia."
Steve Andrews felt honoured by the inclusion, "To be recognised on the cover of the phone book for my life's passion is an honour and I hope it continues to raise awareness about mental health and depression."
Click here to read the White Pages Media Release and click here to view the article as it appeared in The West Australian on 02/10/2013.
On the 8th of September 2012 Steve Andrews was awarded the WA Pride of Australia Medal (Community Spirit) for his tireless and inspirational work raising awareness of depression and suicide prevention.
"Steve Andrews founded Black Dog Ride in 2009 following the suicides of his own mother and best mate's wife. His courageous resolve to raise awareness of depression and suicide prevention has seen him complete a solo motorbike ride around Australia and coordinate 5 National Rides with thousands of Australians participating. Steve's inspired determination has motivated Australians to raise over $500,000 for mental health services and fostered a culture of mental health awareness around the nation."
Read the Black Dog Ride Blog about the Award ceremony here (includes YouTube video).
After receiving the honour of a statewide award for his life saving work raising awareness of depression and suicide prevention, Steve was surprised and humbled by being voted into the National Pride of Australia People's Choice Award. Although Steve didn't win, he came in the top 5 nationwide, a fact Black Dog Ride is rightfully proud of. The work of Black Dog Ride in three short years has lit a beacon of hope in every corner of the nation due soley to Steve's vision and commitment to raising awareness.
On 11th October 2012, Steve Andrews was awarded the Suicide Prevention Australia's LIFE Award - Healthy Communities (Individual). Suicide Prevention Australia is the national peak body for the suicide prevention sector and promotes collaboration, coordination and partnerships for this cause. This award is a remarkable nod from Steve's peers in the mental health sector to Steve's success in raising awareness for depression and suicide prevention.

The Momentum Forum is a networking organisation with a strong charity component. Every year they host the Men in Black Ball to create more awareness about men's mental health and the fight against depression. The Most Inspiring Man of the Year Award is awarded during this time and it was with great pleasure that we learned Steve Andrews was the 2010 recipient. The criteria for the Most Inspiring Man of the Year is one who is an inspiration others, who is able to motivate and touch the lives of others. Anyone who knows Steve and his work with Black Dog Ride would agree that Steve is a most deserving recipient.
Just one year after his inaugural Black Dog Ride Around Australia, and shortly after the inaugural Black Dog Ride for LAMP in south west Western Australia, Steve Andrews received a High Commendation in the ICCWA Community Innovation Award category for his initiative and innovation in raising community awareness of depression. ICCWA were first cab off the rank in recognising the potential and importance of Steve's vision with Black Dog Ride, which has now raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for mental health services and is touching the lives of tens of thousands of Australians.

Ashbrooke is a residential area of Sunderland, England directly south and south-west of the city centre.
Ashbrooke developed through the Victorian era as Sunderland's first suburb. Originally occupied by large middle-class families, including much of Wearside's Jewish population, a fair number of the larger residences have been reorganised into dwellings of multiple occupancy, home to students and young professionals.
The large, well-built houses, the wide, tree-lined avenues, and the often colourful street names ('The Esplanade', 'The Oaks', 'The Elms', 'West Lawn', 'Holmlands Park') signify the area's affluence. This affluence is also reflected by the fact that Sunderland's most prestigious schools were founded in the area, including Sunderland High School (mixed), St Aidans RC School (boys) and St. Anthonys School (girls).
The area lies within walking distance of Park Lane and University stations on the Tyne and Wear Metro system.
Local punk band The Toy Dolls wrote a song about Ashbrooke Launderette on their 1987 album Bare Faced Cheek. Various members of the band still either live or work in Ashbrooke.
Ashbrooke Sports Ground, opened May 30th 1887 for cricket and rugby, is home to many amateur sports associations such as bowls, cricket, tennis, hockey, squash and rugby union.

Bubba is still so little – only three. I have mostly focused my cooking and recipe hunting on safe snacks and kid-friendly foods. But eventually we're supposed to expand those little toddler palates, right? My first attempt will be from the cookbook Allergy-Free and Easy Cooking: 30-Minute Meals without Gluten, Wheat, Dairy, Eggs, Soy, Peanuts, Tree Nuts, Fish, Shellfish, and Sesame . So on tonight's menu will be the Hearty Italian Soup. Wish us luck!
If she doesn't go for the soup (we'll have no problem eating it all ourselves!) I can at least fill her belly with some homemade bread. Today was also my first foray into bread making. We made a basic white loaf this morning and it disappeared. So I'm going to try an Italian Herb loaf for dinner.
I'd love any unique allergy-friendly bread recipes you have! Shoot me the pin on Pinterest or email me at foodallergyninja@gmail.com.

Neil led the 16-strong field with an impressive lead after the first nine holes on the first day, following it up with a strong finish on the final day. Neil's win was also a big win for his coach and caddy, Todd Sleep, PGA, from TS Golf Academy who has been working with Neil for the past year at the new state-of-the-art facility at the Glades Golf Course and Driving Range at Robina. "His win is also confirmation – not that it's needed, and it is something golf pros have always known, hard work and dedication to the sport eventually pays dividends" said Sleep. "It's also a big win for our TS Golf team as it shows that our investment in the latest technology and commitment to best-practice training methodology works," he said. For the first time in Queensland Blind Golf's history, this year's Open was played on the championship course at RACV Royal Pines. A stiff sea breeze on the final day added to the difficulty of the championship course and caused some of the bigger hitters to double-think their tee shots. Despite the wind, golfers enjoyed near-perfect conditions on both days. The annual Queensland Blind Golf Open is the highlight of the Queensland Blind Golf calendar and usually attracts talented blind and visually impaired players from around Australia. This year despite border restrictions, players from New South Wales and Canberra also competed in the event and for the first time, organisers permitted entry to any player with a visual condition. Normally, tournaments are restricted to members of the IGBA (International Blind Golf Association). In what is believed to be a world's first, this year's Qld open featured an "Academy" category for junior and less-experienced players who want to experience playing in a golf tournament. This year, 13-year-old Joshua Woods from Brisbane won the Academy Division with an impressive display in his first golf tournament with PGA IGI student Sean Bradfield from Canungra, teaming up to help Joshua as a caddy. According to Dr Brad Carver, the President of Blind Golf Queensland, the inclusion of the academy division may be a world first. "Blind Golf Queensland is making history in blind sport in Australia, if not the world, by including blind and visually-impaired younger players." "This is the start of Blind Golf Queensland's junior program which I'm sure will start attracting some big attention." He said. "We'll have some big announcements about this program in the new year"he said. Students from the PGA International Golf Institute were also on hand to assist in managing and delivering the tournament and assisted with scoring and course marshalling. According to Jamie Brew, program manager at PGA IGI, students enjoyed working closely with blind golfers with a range of conditions as it provides excellent experience in the rapidly- evolving disabled sports space. Dr Brad Carver from Virginia Golf Club, hung on narrowly to get the Runner-up trophy ahead of Canberra golfer Paul McKenzie, the lowest handicapped player in the event, who won the B3 division prize.

Chhattisgarh: Villagers appeal to Maoists, get parents of DRG man released
Written by Gargi Verma | Raipur | Published: July 8, 2020 2:16:29 am
According to police, several armed Maoists on Monday night barged into the home of DRG constable Ajay Telam in Gumiyapal village and abducted his father Lacchu Telam (64) and mother Vijjo Telam (62). (File)
Nearly 200 residents of Gumiyapal village in Dantewada district of Chhattisgarh walked for more than 15 km to meet Maoists and appeal to them to release the parents of a District Reserve Guard (DRG) personnel they abducted on Monday night, police have said.
The two senior citizens returned home on Tuesday evening after more than 14 hours in captivity, police said.
According to police, several armed Maoists on Monday night barged into the home of DRG constable Ajay Telam in Gumiyapal village and abducted his father Lacchu Telam (64) and mother Vijjo Telam (62). "They attacked his sister who lives with them and snatched her phone," Dantewada SP Abhishek Pallav said.
Telam, who is posted at Kirandul in Dantewada district, was recruited into DRG last year and has been staying at his unit's camp, police said. According to sources, the Maoists suspected his family members of supplying information to Telam after posters with names of rebels from the village were put on display under the district police's Lon Varratu (return home) campaign, urging them to surrender.
"While we were trying to get information of the abducted persons, people from the entire village walked for more than 15 km to Badepalli village, where they spoke for Lacchu and Vijjo Telam, stating that the two were old people who don't have phones and don't even know how to use them. The villagers managed to convince them (Maoists) to release them, and both of them returned home with the villagers on Tuesday evening," Pallava said.
In May, a police constable was abducted in Bijapur and released a week later, after intervention by local journalists.
According to SP Pallav, the Maoists are frustrated as they have realised their base is shrinking, and are targeting family members of policemen.
