A world-renowned Irish journalist and author whose reporting from conflict zones and migration routes has earned international recognition has told FRANCE 24 that in her reporting she sees love every day, and that journalists don't always convey that. Sally Hayden is a winner of the Orwell Prize, and in her new book "This is Also a Love Story" she turns away from the headlines and statistics to focus on love, as well as connection and human resilience in the middle of catastrophe. She spoke to us in Perspective.

India is undertaking the revision of Index of Industrial Production (IIP) and plans to release the new series on June 1, 2026, marking the tenth revision of base year. The Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI) has broadened the scope of the index to include 120 new item groups and enhance the granularity by providing separate indices for numerous sectors.The base year of IIP is being shifted to 2022-23 from 2011-12. The new IIP will track several new items such as magnetic stripe cards including debit and credit cards, CCTV cameras, non-woven textile products, aircraft and spacecraft parts, stents, and vaccines.The revised series significantly widens the scope of industrial activity captured in the index by adding emerging and previously underrepresented sectors such as rare earth minerals, gas supply, water management and waste treatment.MoSPI has also overhauled the product basket to better reflect contemporary industrial production patterns, replacing obsolete items with newer commodities and aligning the series with the updated National Industrial Classification (NIC)-2025 framework. The revised basket now comprises 1,042 products mapped to 463 item groups, including 120 new item groups. MoSPI has dropped 64 item groups from the list, which include kerosene, fluorescent tubes and CFLs, tubes for bicycle, tricycle and rickshaw tyres.The new series introduces more granular sub-indices, including separate tracking of renewable and non-renewable electricity generation, allowing policymakers to better monitor India’s evolving energy mix. The mining and quarrying segment has also been split into dedicated indices for fuel minerals, metallic minerals and non-metallic minerals.The revised methodology also allows statistical authorities to replace permanently shut factories with comparable operating units and induct newly commissioned large factories into the sample base during the life of the series. This is expected to improve the representativeness and timeliness of industrial output data.MoSPI will use a geometric mean-based approach to transition from the 2011-12 base series to the new 2022-23 series.Why is the base year being revised?According to a government release, the IIP base year is revised to reflect structural changes in the economy, technological progress, and the growth of new industries and products. “Revising the base year ensures that the index accurately represents current production patterns and provides more reliable data for economic analysis and policy-making,” MoSPI said.A Report of the Technical Advisory Committee for ‘New Series of All India Index ofIndustrial Production 2022-23’ highlighted the need for periodic revision which arises from the dynamic nature of the economy.“The structure of production, the relative importance of industries, and the range of products manufactured undergo continuous change over time,” it said, adding that regular revisions of the base years of economic indicators like IIP are therefore essential to ensure that they remain representative of current industrial activity.The index must continue to accurately reflect evolving economic realities.Citing “significant” advancements in statistical methodologies and computational capabilities over the period, MoSPI report said that the processes that were difficult to execute have now become relatively easier to implement.The new IIP series retains the existing sectors of Mining, Manufacturing, and Electricity. However, it expands the scope by including Gas Supply and Water Supply, Sewerage & Waste Management activities, giving a broader and more accurate picture of industrial production. In the Mining sector, the new IIP series also includes minor minerals and rare earth minerals along with major minerals, making the index more comprehensive.131367884The item basket for sectors, other than Manufacturing, is selected based on the nature of activities and key measurable outputs of each sector. MoSPI, in certain cases, has held consultation with concerned ministries and departments.The new item baskets are as follows:The ‘Mining & Quarrying’ basket includes 34 minerals comprising fuel minerals and metallic & non-metallic minerals regulated, along with 1 rare earth mineral and 9 minor minerals.The ‘Electricity’ basket covers total electricity generation from both renewable and non-renewable sources.The ‘Gas Supply’ basket uses the volume of gas supplied or distributed through mains/pipelines as the item of measurement.Under the ‘Water Supply, Sewerage & Waste Management’, the government tracks water supply through tap connections, sewerage through sewerage/septage connections and waste management through the quantity of waste collected and processed.MoSPI has formed the item groups for IIP by aggregating products based on similarity within the industry group to ensure consistency, comparability, and operational feasibility in monthly data reporting.The government has also kept the revision of substitution of the factories in the new series of IIP to address the challenges of prolonged non-response or closed factory.While the six use-based categories—Primary Goods, Capital Goods, Intermediate goods, Infrastructure/ Construction Goods, Consumer Durable Goods and Consumer Non-Durable Goods—remain the same as the 2011–12 series, individual item classifications have been reviewed in detail and updated.Why is IIP important?The report recognised that the index is “not just a technical statistical indicator, but an important measure” that stakeholders understand the health and direction of the economy.The IIP provides one of the earliest signals of industrial performance, and hence plays a crucial role in economic planning, policymaking, and market analysis.The index plays a pivotal role in tracking cyclical conditions, informing fiscal and monetary policy deliberations, and shaping expectations of businesses and investors, helped by macro and sectoral analysts.MoSPI believes in the idea that economic statistics must keep pace with the economic transformations, and hence new products, emerging technologies, evolving production systems, and changing patterns of industrial activity are being included in the index calculation.“Industrial statistics cannot remain fixed while industries themselves are rapidly changing,” it said in the report cited above.

POLICE stations are seen as a state’s physical and operational manifestation, where victims must feel the state’s protective presence. They must function as ‘shock therapy’ centres, a frontline service and protectors of human liberties. In the age of technology, are more police stations needed in districts, or can existing ones be supplemented by e-police stations? Police stations may vary in size, jurisdiction and tasks. In ancient Rome, the Vigiles saw to law enforcement. Asia and the Middle East lacked permanent establishments; the military and local magistrates performed the task of policing. In the UK, Robert Peel created police stations to serve as patrol bases, lockups and administrative offices. France adopted a centralised structure, with police posts across cities. Municipal police departments emerged in US cities. Japan has community policing — the Koban system based in small neighbourhoods, focusing on building community trust. As per Police Rules, 1934, in Pakistan, the number of police stations is based on population and crime rates. Insecurity and terrorism must also be factored in. Police stations operate in notified jurisdictions or have specialised tasks like women protection, cybercrime and excise. Rural outpost stations operate in Pakistan, India and Canada, with fewer facilities and staff. Globally, police are transitioning from force to public service; in postcolonial states, police chiefs overlook police-public mistrust. Police stations present a shabby look and hardly cater to victims’ needs. Today, model police stations are set up without evaluating service delivery. Taxpayers must know how they differ from traditional ones. Physical changes aren’t enough; better attitudes and public service are vital. For example, women police stations were set up to deal only with women victims, but anti-women crime didn’t decline significantly. To improve outreach, KP Police set up women desks mainly in urban areas. More women police should have quality training, with greater outreach. SHOs should directly receive operational funds to ensure transparency, discourage corruption and save victims from bearing the cost. KP took the lead, but improvement is needed. Infrastructural changes aren’t enough. Post 9/11, several police stations faced attacks, exposing security loopholes. KP tried to standardise their design. More investment in policing, including community outreach, communication and accountability, will improve safety. In rural areas, police stations still function without technological backup. Beyond numerical models, technology-driven solutions will enhance public service. Community interests will be served by ensuring the tenure and accountability of SHOs through public oversight. Often, a long chain of command inconveniences complainants who prefer to approach senior ranks to seek help from police stations. Making the latter effective means empowering the staff. Policing without public engagement won’t help; institutionalising the public’s role is necessary. Under colonial rule, public interactions were part of policing; after independence, distrust widened. Beat officers recorded their observations, making foot patrolling an effective means of collecting information and intelligence. Vehicular mobility may be faster, but has reduced direct public contact. Social media may reduce the gap. Village touring and open houses were effective, but with corruption and lethargy, village touring ended — officers used to visit police stations, meet field officers, judges and ordinary folk to better understand the dynamics of an area and crime patterns. Police station inspections are now a mere formality. They used to help in crime prevention and detection. Crime review meetings were regular, but are now simply PowerPoint presentations. Meetings helped assess the capabilities of junior officers, crime hotspots and criminals’ modus operandi. Burking of crime and manipulating crime statistics abet criminals and affect the government’s grasp of reality, resulting in fewer funds and resources for police. To end the ‘tout culture’ and influence of unauthorised middlemen, transparency, accountability, public support, technological intervention, better outreach and clear complaints and investigation processes are needed. Digital reporting systems, complaint tracking and facilitation desks can be useful. Officers supporting or benefiting from touts must face disciplinary action. Police stations must uphold citizens’ dignity and ensure justice is delivered without bias; officers must be trained to serve. Through transparent procedures, reforms and community policing, Pakistan can rebuild public trust in law enforcement. A reformed police service will strengthen the rule of law and create a safer, more democratic society. The writer is the author of Pakistan: In Between Extremism and Peace.
