Police Deploy Drones To Monitor Traffic In Indonesia
From drones to smartphone apps, Indonesia is harnessing technology to tackle traffic chaos during the annual mass exodus before the Muslim Eid holiday, when the potholed roads of overpopulated Java become clogged with millions of slow-moving cars and crashes are frequent.
Cities in the world’s most populous Muslim-majority country empty every year at the end of the holy month of Ramadan as people head to villages to celebrate Eid with their families.
This trip is an annual ritual known locally as “mudik” that transforms journeys of a few hundred kilometres (miles) into 24-hour odysseys.
The crush is particularly acute on Java, a crowded island that is home to more than half of Indonesia’s 250 million people.
Hundreds of new vehicles are hitting the road every day as the economy booms, but scant investment means many routes remain as they have for years — narrow, ageing roads snaking through mountainous terrain.
Phone Thief Wins $11,000 From Victim
A Chinese court ordered a mugger’s intended victim to pay his attacker 70,000 yuan ($11,000) after he fought off the attempted robbery and beat him up, state-run media reported Wednesday.

The trio caught up with Zeng and beat him. A bruised Zeng reported the February incident to police the next day and the three men turned themselves in soon afterwards.
Yuan and his co-defendants were criminally liable since they did not report the attempted robbery to police before taking action, Dongguan No. 3 People’s Court ruled according to the Global Times. The men have said they will not appeal, it added.
