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 clear that no government-saving scheme presently provides annual-interest more than eight-percent that too taxable and only for senior citizens. It is impossible that any public-sector company like PNB Metlife may provide above-referred extra-lucrative scheme. Punjab National ...

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...

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

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 ...

Timings of news-bulleting and other programmes presented by News Services Division of All India Radio (Akashwani) were last revised more than five decades ago when Television-network had insignificant presence. Then timings were revised in a manner that Hindi bulletins may be broadcast just before English news-bulletins like shifting main Hindi bulletin from then 8.15 pm to now 8.45 pm. But such placement deprived Samayaki important time-place just after main Hindi bulletin like is there for Spotlight relayed at 9.15 pm just after main English bulletin. All India Radio should go for a total new time-schedule for all its news-bulletins and other programmes presented by News Services Division.

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...

Ban sale of khoya prepared by unorganised sector in Delhi before festive season

addtop, BREAKING NEWS, TOP STORIES, राज्य
Consumption of khoya during festive-season of Diwali in Delhi much exceeds all probable capacity after procurement of milk, leading to sale and use of adulterated khoya for preparation of sweets. Central government should take all possible steps for heavy increase in production of khoya by organised sector and co-operative giants including like Mother Dairy, Amul, Saras, Delhi Milk scheme, Vita, Verka, Sudha etc. Mother dairy and Amul having appreciable market-share in Delhi should also arrange door-delivery of khoya for bulk-purchasers on advance-booking in a routine manner. Mother Dairy markets khoya. But because of extra-ordinary fat-content, its product is not only costlier but is much hard to use. Mother Dairy should decrease fat-content in khoya to make it softer with its price co...

Too much variants of a car-model must not be allowed: Standardize consumables in car-industry:

addtop, BREAKING NEWS, TOP STORIES, समाचार
Too many variants of any car-model confuse customers. There may be just two variants apart from the third with automatic gears, one basic Lx for economy customers and the other Vx with all company-fitted extra accessories and luxuries for affording customers. There is no sense in having too many confusing variants like Lx, Lxi, Vx, Vxi for same model. India being biggest consumer-market amongst nations with free economy, it has certainly power to dictate its consumer-friendly terms for global market-leaders collaborating car-manufacture in India. Union government should induce standardization of common accessories like tyres and batteries so that same parts may be used in different models of cars produced by various car-manufacturers. It will heavily bring down cost of consumables throu...

"आदमी भी क्या अनोखा जीव है, उलझनें अपनी बनाकर आप ही फंसता है, फिर बेचैन हो जगता है और ना ही सोता है।"  आज जब पूरे विश्व में प्लास्टिक के प्रबंधन को लेकर मंथन चरम पर है तो रामधारी सिंह दिनकर जी की ये पंक्तियाँ बरबस ही याद आ जाता है । वैसे तो कुछ समय पहले से विश्व के अनेक देश सिंगल यूज़ प्लास्टिक का उपयोग बंद करने की दिशा में ठोस कदम उठा चुके हैं और आने वाले कुछ सालों के अंदर केवल बायोडिग्रेडेबल प्लास्टिक का ही उपयोग करने का लक्ष्य बना चुके हैं। भारत इस लिस्ट में सबसे नया सदस्य है। जैसा कि लोगों को अंदेशा था, उसके विपरीत अभी भारत सरकार ने सिंगल यूज़ प्लास्टिक को कानूनी रूप से बैन नहीं किया है केवल लोगों से स्वेच्छा से इसका उपयोग बन्द करने की अपील की है। अच्छी बात यह है कि लोग जागरूक हो भी रहे हैं और एक दूसरे को कर भी रहे हैं। अगर दुनिया भर के देशों द्वारा सिंगल यूज़ प्लास्टिक बैन के पैटर्न को द...
