Ultimately Apex Court on a contempt petition against RBI Governor had to give stringent-most warning to RBI for obeying Supreme Court pro-transparency order. CIC-order was -Merely because disclosure of such information may adversely affect public confidence in defaulting institutions, cannot be a reason for denial of information under the RTI Act.

India should raise issue of drastic change in demography in Pakistan in counter to Pakistan crying on alleged atrocities on minorities in India

India should raise issue of drastic change in demography in Pakistan in counter to Pakistan crying on alleged atrocities on minorities in India

addtop, BREAKING NEWS, समाचार
Ever since articles 370 and 35A have been repealed from Indian constitution by India through two-third majority in both Houses of Indian Parliament even with many opposition parties (except of course Congress, the generator of these poisonous provisions under Prime Ministership of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru), Pakistan is crying like anything on all global forums, though in vain, about alleged atrocities by India on Kashmiris allegedly for their being Islamic. Even though India through its bold stand has gained support globally even from unexpected sectors including Islamic world, yet sharper weapon of grilling Pakistan on drastic change in demography of Pakistan after independence with Hindu minority shrinking from 15-percent at time of independence to now at about just 1.5-percent is not ...
Action only if Minister is victim, otherwise Union Consumer Affairs Ministry issues advisories to customers rather than taking responsible action

Action only if Minister is victim, otherwise Union Consumer Affairs Ministry issues advisories to customers rather than taking responsible action

Union Consumer Affairs Ministry is irresponsible ministry at the center doing nothing to protect rights of consumers and safeguarding interests of consumers against malpractices of providers of goods or services. The ministry-officials swiftly swung in to action when its Minister became victim of waxed apples, but simply issued advisory Guidelines No. J-24-9-2014-CPU(pt.) dated 21.04.2017 to customers going to restaurants to resist levying of service-charge without realizing that people visit restaurants for relaxed dining and not to burden their minds by entering in arguments to resist levying service-charge. If such would have been an isolated case with the Minister, ministry-officials would have issued much-desired order against levying service-charge in bills of hotels and restaurants....
Welcome decision of UP government to abolish Income Tax payment of ministers from public-exchequer be followed by rest five remaining states

Welcome decision of UP government to abolish Income Tax payment of ministers from public-exchequer be followed by rest five remaining states

addtop, BREAKING NEWS, राज्य
Yogi Adityanath deserves all compliments for doing away with totally illogical practice of paying Income Tax of ministers from public-exchequer. It is beyond understanding why and how some former state Chief Minister adopted the anti-public policy which is unfortunately still prevalent in five other states namely Madhya-Pradesh, Chhatisgarh, Haryana, Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh while Punjab Chief Minister abolished the practice with effect from 19.03.2018. Remaining five states must also abolish the practice. At least Prime Minister can advise BJP-ruled states to do so, when remaining states will also be compelled to do so. Salaries, perks, privileges and post-retirement benefits including pension to all those in legislature (including centre and states) should be transferred as a ...

Continuance of TV serials for years after years with even change in generations of the characters shown in such TV serials makes viewers TV-addicted with unimaginable number of total man-hours viewing TV-serials only adversely affecting studies of students and proper attention to children by mothers who are victims of such addiction.

However such a restriction may not be there on epic-serials and TV serials with single story in each episode.   M...

भारतीय उपमहाद्वीप में सूखे की गंभीरता को बढ़ा सकते हैं ऐरोसॉल

भारत, अमेरिका और कनाडा के वायुमंडलीय वैज्ञानिकों की एक टीम ने पता लगाया है कि एल नीनो वाले वर्षों के दौरान वायुमंडल में उपस्थित ऐरोसॉल भारतीय उपमहाद्वीप में सूखे की गंभीरता को 17 प्रतिशत तक बढ़ा सकते हैं।  इस अध्ययन में पता चला है कि मानसून के दौरान एल नीनो पूर्वी एशियाई क्षेत्र के ऊपर कम ऊंचाई पर पाए जाने वाले ऐरोसॉल को दक्षिण एशियाई क्षेत्र के ऊपर अधिक ऊंचाई (12-18 किलोमीटर) की ओर ले जाकर वहां एशियाई ट्रोपोपॉज ऐरोसॉल लेयर नामक एक ऐरोसॉल परत बना देती है, जो वहीं पर स्थिर रहकर भारतीय मानसून को और कमजोर कर देती है।  इस ऐरोसॉल परत के अधिक घने और मोटे होने से पृथ्वी तक पहुँचने वाली सौर ऊर्जा की मात्रा में कमी आती है, जिससे मानसून का परिसंचरण कमजोर होने के कारण सूखे की स्थिति की गंभीरता बढ़ जाती है। भारतीय उष्णदेशीय मौसम विज्ञान संस्थान (आईआईटीएम), पुणे के वैज्ञानिकों द्वारा किए गए अध्यय...
