Disclosure of medical-reimbursement of ministers of Delhi under RTI Act - What about Supreme Court order dated 02.07.2015 against disclosure of medical-reimbursement of individual judges (see attachments)   It refers to disclosure of amounts of medical-reimbursements of individual ministers of Delhi government under RTI Act. Political reactions and controversies apart, question arises if Supreme Court order dated 02.07.2015 disallowing CIC-verdict on similar information about judges is applicable for those in legislature and bureaucracy. At least no distinction should be made in this regard amongst three wings of democratic form of governance namely judiciary, legislature and bureaucracy.   There are reports that many entitled ones have been claiming medical-reimbursements...

A colour-changing ink that can expose the fakes from the original

addtop, Today News, विश्लेषण
In a boost to the fight against the menace of counterfeiting, two researchers at the Hyderabad campus of the Birla Institute of Technology and Science have developed an ink that changes colour when exposed to acid vapours and reverts to its original colour when exposed to base vapours. The ink contains small amounts of what are called fluorophore particles made from a chemical called ‘mono-carbazole-linked anthranyl π-conjugates.’ Fluorophore particles are invisible under normal light but light up with a yellow colour when exposed to a commercial ultraviolet light torch. The ink is found to be stable under ambient conditions and up to a temperature of 300 degrees C. “We tested our yellow coloured fluorophore along with many other conventional yellow fluorophores used in many applicat...

addtop, BREAKING NEWS, TOP STORIES, समाचार
Milk-giant Amul has added a new milk-variant under brand-name Buffalo in addition to earlier existing variants under brand-names Gold and Diamond. All these three variants are apart from cow-milk and several other low-fat variants. Apart from cow-milk, all other variants should therefore be processed from buffalo-milk, in case some of milk-brands are not made from milk-powder. Amul should print on its all milk-packs if milk is packed and processed after procuring natural milk, or some of these are made from milk-powder. Now are three variants namely Gold, Buffalo and Diamond priced respectively at rupees 53, 55 and 57 per litre respectively with varying fat-contents increasing with price with newly added under brand-name Buffalo unnecessarily confusing consumers. Even pricing-system ...

Union Government should frame guidelines for couriers. Since important documents like cheques and drafts are carried by this service, registration of courier-service with Union Ministry of Communications should be compulsory with list of their offices recorded with the Ministry and displayed on website of the ministry. Courier-boys deliver documents any time during the day. Such a system is totally unsafe in residential areas especially for ladies and senior citizens. Mischievous persons can enter the residence for malaise intention of loot, rape or murder in form of courier-boys. Otherwise also it is not fair to disturb rest-hours of residents to deliver documents which many-a-times contain junk-mail like publicity-material. There should be fixed timings to deliver couriers especially ...

Unnecessary controversy on idea to honour Veer Savarkar with Bharat Ratna

addtop, BREAKING NEWS, TOP STORIES, समाचार
It refers to some leaders from opposition raising unnecessary controversy on poll-manifesto of Maharashtra BJP promising Bharat Ratna for Veer Savarkar. It is noteworthy that postal-stamp on Veer Savarkar was issued by none other than Congress government and he was praised as Remarkable Son of India by none other than the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Now Congress is countering that Veer Savarkar was good but his ideology of Hinutva was wrong. Bharat Ratna honours are not done based on ideology of honoured ones, but honours are done according to contribution of honoured ones to the nation. Congress-led governments did great mistake by forgetting national icons who laid down their lives for freedom of India. Instead those earlier governments honoured family-members of the family rul...

Festival-gifts are social-evil and bribes : Need to be banned with riders before Diwali

addtop, BREAKING NEWS, TOP STORIES, सामाजिक
Festival-gifts like on Diwali to those in public and public sector are no less than bribes. These are given to persons in legislature, bureaucracy and even in judiciary also, with most of them accepting these having expectation in advance. Quoting from Hindu code in Manusmriti, the then President of India Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Kalam on his retirement-eve rightly analyzed that gift coming with a purpose causes person losing their personality greatly. Central government should immediately much before Diwali and forthcoming marriage-season issue a strict warning-order under Prevention of Corruption Act against giving and accepting any gifts by those being paid from public-exchequers. Both those gifting and accepting should be booked under relevant sections of Indian Penal Code. Central Vigila...
