Introduction

The Punjab Police have new technology in Ludhiana. They have a new control center and a smart traffic system.

Main Body

The police put 1,700 cameras in the city. These cameras use smart computers. They find people who drive too fast or park in the wrong place. Now, the police work together better. Police cars arrive faster. Before, they took 15 minutes. Now, they take 7 or 8 minutes. They can also help ambulances move fast. The government spent a lot of money on computers and cyber crime. The police chief says they will stop all bad criminals. He says many fake gangsters call people for money, but they are actually local people.

Conclusion

Ludhiana now uses smart cameras and computers to keep people safe.

Learning

⏱️ Comparing 'Then' and 'Now'

Look at how we describe changes in time. To move to A2, you need to show the difference between the past and the present.

The Pattern:

  • Past (Before) →\rightarrow took 15 minutes.
  • Present (Now) →\rightarrow take 7 or 8 minutes.

Simple Rule: When we talk about the past, we often change the action word (verb). Take becomes Took.

Vocabulary for Speed:

  • Faster (More speed than before)
  • Too fast (More speed than the law allows)

Quick Word Focus: 'Smart' In this text, 'smart' doesn't mean a person is intelligent. It means the technology can think or work automatically.

  • Smart traffic system →\rightarrow A system that works by itself.
