In the death of three-term former Chief Minister Shiela Dixit, Delhi has lost its loving daughter who was a mother to younger politicians cutting across party lines as was clear from tribute by Delhi BJP President Manoj Tiwari who became highly emotional while speaking to media on her death despite the fact that he recently won Lok Sabha against the departed leader who welcomed him like a mother when he went to seek her blessings on winning election against her. Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia while declaring two-day state-mourning and state-funeral on her death, even cancelled their personal pilgrimage to Vaishno Devi. Above all, Prime Minister Narender Modi joined unending stream of politicians and others having visited her residence to offer fl...
Quality and prices of generic medicines

Quality and prices of generic medicines

addtop, TOP STORIES, समाचार
It refers to BJP MP Bhartruhari Mahtab raising issue of generic drugs in Lok Sabha on 19.07.2019, rightly demanding an inquiry to find out the efficacy of generic drugs quoting recent book-study that Indian drug manufacturers were producing quality generic medicines for US and European countries with sub-standard generic medicines marketed in domestic market. Companies exporting generic medicines should be checked and required to file affidavits that generic medicines for domestic and foreign markets are of the same quality. Such a mention may otherwise also not be baseless where generic medicines in India have Maximum-Retail-Price MRP printed at exorbitant profit-margin upto 400-percent over the ex-factory price. Looting general public through cheap-considered generic medicines must no...

महामहिम जी ने संसद में अपने अभिभाषण में कहा कि सरकार ने 2022 तक गंगा को अविरल और निर्मल बनाने का लक्ष्य रखा है। गंगा के साथ ही सरकार यमुना, नर्मदा, कावेरी और गोदावरी सहित अन्य नदियों अरबी सरकार इसी तर्ज पर काम करेगी।  इस बात ने हमें देश की इन नदियों के भविष्य के लिए चिंता में डाल दिया है। गंगा से जुड़े पर तमाम मुद्दों पर लंबे आंदोलनों, सरकारी आश्वासनों, स्थानीय अदालतों से लेकर उच्च न्यायालय और सर्वोच्च न्यायालय तक और साथ में राष्ट्रीय हरित प्राधिकरण के आदेशों की कतार हमारे सामने हैं।   फिर भी गंगा अपने उद्गम से लेकर गंगासागर में मिलने तक हैरान और परेशान है। गंगा अपनी दोनों मुख्य धाराओं के उद्गम के पास ही बांध परियोजनाओं में बांध दी गईं है। अलकनंदा गंगा को विष्णुप्रयाग बांध और भागीरथी गंगा को मनेरी भाली से लेकर बड़े विशालकाय टिहरी बांध ने बांध रखा है। गंगा व उसकी सहायक नदियां लगभ...
Outdated law of keeping mobile-phone of victim having helped police in getting phone-snatcher arrested should be changed

Outdated law of keeping mobile-phone of victim having helped police in getting phone-snatcher arrested should be changed

addtop, TOP STORIES, समाचार
It refers to outdated legal-provision whereby the person having helped police in getting hold of a phone-snatcher has to deprive with his mobile-phone to be kept in police-custody after a failed attempt of mobile-phone having been snatched. Mobile-phones in general have valuable data which has now-a-days in fast changing life-style have rather become lifeline of mobile-users. It is even more strange that police does not allow to withdraw the complaint so that the victim may not have to compulsorily deposit his mobile-phone in police-custody till court-orders. Such outdated legal-provisions are in fact root cause of dutiful people avoiding filing police-complaints not only in their own interest but also in in larger interest of society where no person may exhibit boldness in getting a ph...

किसी उबड़-खाबड़ सड़क पर गाड़ी का टायर अचानक पंक्चर हो जाए तो मुश्किल खड़ी हो जाती है। भारतीय शोधकर्ताओं ने इस मुश्किल से निजात पाने के लिए नैनोटेक्नोलॉजी की मदद से ऐसी तकनीक विकसित की है, जो टायरों की परफार्मेंस बढ़ाने में उपयोगी साबित हो सकती है।  केरल स्थित महात्मा गांधी विश्वविद्यालय के यूनिवर्सिटी सेंटर फॉर नैनो-साइंस ऐंड नैनो-टेक्नोलॉजी के शोधकर्ताओं ने रबड़ से बनी हाई-परफार्मेंस नैनो-कम्पोजिट सामग्री विकसित की है, जिसका उपयोग टायरों की भीतरी ट्यूब और इनर लाइनरों को मजबूती प्रदान करने में किया जा सकता है।  नैनो-क्ले और क्रियाशील नैनो-क्ले तंत्र के उपयोग से इनर लाइनर बनाने के लिए विकसित फॉर्मूले को गैस अवरोधी गुणों से लैस किया गया है। इससे टायरों के इनर लाइनर की मजबूती बढ़ायी जा सकती है। इंटरनेशनल ऐंड इंटर यूनिवर्सिटी सेंटर फॉर नैनो-साइंस ऐंड नैनो-टेक्नोलॉजी (आईआईयूसीएनएन) ने टाय...

Opposition should not insist on Prime Minister responding to big lie of US President Donald Trump for diplomatic reasons

addtop, BREAKING NEWS, TOP STORIES, समाचार
Both House of Parliament on 23.07.2019 witnessed noisy scenes by opposition-members demanding personal appearance of Prime Minister to give clarification on yet another big lie of Donald Trump out of about 12000 he has so far spoken as US President. Opposition-demand apparently looked justified because habitual liar Donald Trump named specifically Prime Minister Narender Modi having asked Donald Trump to mediate with Pakistan on Kashmir issue. But US President is biggest powerful person in the world, and for all diplomatic reasons, clarification by Prime Minister Narender Modi personally would have annoyed Donald Trump which would have cost India heavily in many aspects. Not only Government of India through late-night instant press-release followed by categorical denial by Indian Foreig...

Justified demand to re-spell Delhi: All re-spellings and re-naming of cities and states should be in one go

addtop, BREAKING NEWS, TOP STORIES, राज्य
It refers to justified and logical demand raised by BJP Parliamentarian Vijay Goel in Rajya Sabha on 24.07.2019 for re-spell British-distorted spelling of Delhi as Dilli. But re-spelling should be Dehli which means entrance, and was a common household name till several decades after independence. Even Dilli is the distorted name. Many other countries like Bangladesh and China have already respelled names of their capitals as per actual pronunciation. Central government should also accept resolution by West Bengal state-assembly to re-name the state to remove confusing pre-fix West and to have a name in Bangla rather than English. Only old-timers know that since western part of pre-independence undivided Bengal came to India, the state was named as West Bengal, and East Bengal turned int...

IB enquiry necessary for self-acclaimed intellectuals joining hands with anti-national and communal elements in provoking minorities and Dalits against majority community

Central government should refer names of those self-acclaimed intellectuals who have written to Prime Minister on mob-lynching etc allegedly on minorities and Dalits (and not on those many from minority section who brutally killed people from majority community) to Intelligence Bureau for finding their real motives. Intention was clear when convenor of press-conference on 24.07.2019 declined to respond to media-persons on incidents of Hindus having been brutally killed by Muslims. Such people are not less guilty than elements like Akbaruddin Obassi always provoking Muslims against Hindus through his poisonous speeches. Enquiry should also be made and public-land snatched from NGOs who were liberally granted huge pieces of land and funds by earlier UPA and Congress governments because of...
No Tears for fall of Karnataka Govt.

No Tears for fall of Karnataka Govt.

addtop, Today News, TOP STORIES, विश्लेषण
Many tears will not be shed over fall of the Karnataka Government headed by H D Kumarswamy. Right from the beginning the coalition arrangement between the JD (S) and the Congress was on shaky ground. Congress which had 65 seats in the House of 225 supported Kumarswamy whose Party the JD (S) had won only 34 seats. The coalition managed to form government with the support of some independents and the lone member of the BSP. The move was to stop BJP from forming government which had won 105, the single largest Party in the state assembly. The natural course of action on part of the Opposition parties in Karnataka should have been to let Congress head the government. But overambitious Kumarswamy supported by his father H D Devegowda bargained with Congress to claim chief minister’s chair. If ...
