जो लोग दिल्ली में 2008 के पहले से रह रहे हैं, वो जानते हैं कि इससे पहले दिल्ली में कभी इस तरह से धुआं नहीं भरा करता था... अगर कभी थोड़ा बहुत होता भी था, तो अधिक से अधिक 1-2 दिन के लिए, जबकि किसान पहले भी पराली जलाते ही थे। 2008 के बाद अचानक ऐसा क्या हो गया कि दिल्ली प्रतिवर्ष गैस चेंबर बनने लगी ? इस बात को समझने के लिए इन 5 बातों को जानना बहुत आवश्यक है - 1. यूट्यूब पर सर्च करें तो पाएंगे कि 2007 के बाद अचानक मीडिया के एक विशेष वर्ग ने पंजाब और हरियाणा में घटते भूजल स्तर पर स्टोरीज़ की भरमार कर दी थी, NDTv इसमें सबसे आगे था... बताया जाता था कि कैसे पंजाब और हरियाणा में धरती के अंदर का पानी सूखता जा रहा है और किसान संकट में है। 2. इन समाचारों से पैदा दबाव के बहाने पंजाब और हरियाणा सरकारों ने यह कहते हुए अप्रैल में धान बोने पर प्रतिबंध लगा दिया कि इस समय धान बोने के लिए किसान बड़े-ब...

‘इस्लामिक स्टेट’ के सरगना अबू बकर अल-बगदादी की हत्या करके अमेरिका ने एक अमेरिका महिला के साथ हुए बलात्कार और उसकी हत्या का बदला तो ले लिया लेकिन क्या इससे विश्व में फैला इस्लामी आतंकवाद खत्म हो जाएगा ? उसामा बिन लादेन तो बगदादी से भी ज्यादा खतरनाक और कुख्यात था लेकिन उसका हत्या से क्या आतंकवाद में कोई कमी आई ? इस्लाम के नाम पर चलनेवाले आतंकवाद को रोकने के लिए कुछ और भी बुनियादी कदम उठाने पड़ेंगे। सबसे पहले तो इस्लामी जगत को यह समझना होगा कि आतंकवाद इस्लाम का सबसे बड़ा कलंक है। इस्लाम की जितनी बदनामी आतंकवाद के नाम पर हुई है, किसी अन्य मजहब या संप्रदाय की नहीं हुई है। आपके नाम में यदि कोई अरबी या फारसी का शब्द आ जाए, बस इतना ही काफी है। आप पर शक की निगाहें उठने लगती है। ऐसा क्यों है ? क्योंकि सारे दहशतगर्द अपने कुकर्म का औचित्य कुरान की आयातों के आधार पर ठहराते हैं। वे दावा करते हैं कि वे ज...

Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) has analysed real time data for Delhi and the towns in the National Capital Region (NCR) -- including Gurugram, Faridabad, Noida and Ghaziabad -- to show how the Diwali night has ushered in the season’s first severe pollution peak due to the bursting of firecrackers. This has undone the comparatively cleaner trend achieved so far in the September 15 to October 27 period. Says Anumita Roychowdhury, executive director-research and advocacy, CSE: “While harsher winter conditions are yet to set in and the weather during the period of analysis (September 15 to October 27) has remained relatively favourable (including a delayed monsoon), several ongoing systemic actions and preventive emergency measures had also contributed to prevent an early onset...

It refers to election-results of state-assemblies of Haryana and Maharashtra where ruling BJP failed to gain absolute majority at its own thus being compelled to dance to tune of Jannayak Janta Party and Shiv Sena both of these regional parties in a position to enable forming government with either BJP or non-BJP parties.

Punjab National Bank should clear its relation with PNB Metlife: Agents are befooling pubic through gimmick offers without providing any brochures PNB Metlife is an insurance-company using logo of public-sector Punjab National Bank, but there is absolute no clarity on exact relationship between Punjab National Bank and PNB Metlife where agents of PNB Metlife lure members of public through highly lucrative investment-offers but without giving any brochure or highlights of the offered schemes on website.

It is impossible that any public-sector company like PNB Metlife may provide above-referred extra-lucrative scheme. Punjab National ...

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...

Too many milk-variants by Amul confuse consumers

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...
