Pamela Goswami is the state secretary of the BJYM

 Goswami is the state secretary of the BJYM, who actively posts updates on social media and shares pictures of party events being held across the state. 

She was along with her friend Dey in her car on Friday when both of them were nabbed, police said, adding that around 100 gm of cocaine "worth a few lakh of rupees" was found in her handbag and other parts of the car. 

The police claimed that the two had been purchasing drugs from a peddler in the New Alipore area and they had prior information about their visit on Friday following which they were intercepted at the spot. Women police personnel were also deployed to carry out the search and arrest.



"She was involved in drug trafficking for quite some time. Today, we got information that she, along with her supplier Prabir, was reaching the spot to hand over the drugs to the purchasers," a police officer told news agency PTI on Friday. 

A team of policemen in eight vehicles surrounded Goswami's car and apprehended her, the officer said. The BJP youth wing leader's security guard, who was inside the same vehicle, was also arrested, the officer added.

Samik Bhattacharya, the BJP’s state spokesperson, however, said that Goswami may have been framed. “I have heard about it but we are yet to gather details. If she has really done something illegal, then the law will take its own course. But it could also be planted. The elections are near, and the model code of conduct is yet to be enforced. The police are now under the control of the chief minister. We also need to keep these in mind,” he said.

Ultrasonic pulse velocity test for concrete

  Introduction An  ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) test  is an  in-situ ,  nondestructive  test to check the quality of  concrete  and natural rocks. In this test, the strength and quality of concrete or rock is assessed by measuring the velocity of an  ultrasonic pulse  passing through a concrete structure or natural rock formation. Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity (U.P.V) This test is conducted by passing a pulse of ultrasonic through concrete to be tested and measuring the time taken by pulse to get through the structure. Higher velocities indicate good quality and continuity of the material, while slower velocities may indicate concrete with many cracks or voids Ultrasonic testing equipment includes a pulse generation circuit, consisting of electronic circuit for generating pulses and a transducer for transforming electronic pulse into mechanical pulse having an oscillation frequency in range of 40 kHz to 50 kHz, and a pulse rece...

What is the rebound hammer test? Object, Principle, Apparatus, Procedure, Influence and Interpretation of results

  Importance and Rebound Hammer Test : It is often necessary to test concrete structures after the concrete has hardened to determine whether the structure is suitable for its proposed structure. Such testing should ideally be done without damaging the structure, which is called a Non-destructive Test on concrete. Rebound Hammer is one of the methods of testing for the strength of concrete . Rebound hammer is used for checking the compressive strength of concrete (as per IS-13311(Part-2)/92 ) at a certain age of concrete. Rebound Hammer Test The object of the test : i) assessing the likely compressive strength of concrete with the help of suitable correlations between rebound index and compressive strength,  ii) assessing the uniformity of concrete, iii) assessing the quality of the concrete in relation to standard requirements, and iv) assessing the quality of one element of concrete in relation to another. NOTE - The rebound hammer method can be used with greater confidence...

Profometer Test ( Rebar Locator Test ) | Lab Test Procedure | Applications, Advantages and Disadvantages

  Non-destructive tests on concrete can be understood as the type of test on concrete structures that are employed to measure the strength of the concrete without actually destroying the structure. The primary objective of such a test is to evaluate the strength and durability of the existing concrete structure as well as for the identification of cracks and defects. One such type of non-destructive test on concrete structures is the Profometer test. ** Fast and accurate rebar detection , cover and diameter size measurement Profometer test can be defined as the non-destructive test conducted on the concrete structures to determine the size and location of the reinforcements and  concrete  cover rapidly and efficiently. This test is also commonly known as the rebar locator test. The instrument used to conduct this test is known as profometer or rebar locator. The rebar locator test is the fastest and the easiest method of detecting the reinforcement bars in concrete. The ...
