लो कर लो बात, अब तो दिल्ली मे कूड़े के ढेर भी गिरने लगे

लो कर लो बात, अब तो दिल्ली मे कूड़े के ढेर भी गिरने लगे. गाज़ीपुर की लॅंडफिल साइट के कोलॅप्स होने से लगभग 2 लोगों की मौत. लेकिन ये अपनी तरह का पहला हादसा नही है. इससे पहले. एथीओपिया मे भी इसी तरह के हादसे मे 82 से ज़्यादा लोगों को अपनी जान देनी पड़ी थी. चीन मे भी इस तरह के हादसे हो चुके हैं, लेकिन वो कूड़े का ढेर ना होकर, मलबे के ढेर थे, जिसने काफ़ी जाने ले ली थी. अभी हाल ही मे एप्रिल 2017 मे श्री लंका मे भी इसी तरह के मॅन मेड डिज़ास्टर मे लगभग 29 लोगों की मौत हो गई थी.

It happened earlier at Ethiopia, China, Srilanka, but seems no lessons learnt from such instances and the concerned authorities just kept on waiting for it to happen at ghazipur in Delhi. Sad n shocking. We elect them to work for the city and they create these man made disasters that trap innocent persons towards death.

Mr Dewani just commented on my FB, that why dont they make manure out of it. But the problem is, they dont have the will to do anything, so they dont find the way.

GDP growth rate down to 5.7% in April-June, demonetisation pain lingers

The growth rate is the slowest pace at which the economy has expanded in three years, underlining the disruption caused by the roll out of the goods and services tax even as the economy struggles to recover from a shock demonetisation.

 

India’s economy unexpectedly slowed to a three-year low in the April-June quarter, signalling that business was still hurting from last year’s shock cash squeeze as well as disruptions ahead of the rollout of a new tax regime.

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew 5.7% in the last quarter, undershooting market expectations, compared to 6.1% in January-March period. The drop was even sharper when compared to the like-quarter a year ago when GDP expanded at 7.9%, official data released on Thursday showed.

The slowdown suggested the underlying momentum in the economy was still weak, posing a challenge to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government that must produce masses of jobs to absorb a million people entering the workforce every month.

“Certainly a matter of concern that first quarter GDP has come down to 5.7% and it’s obvious therefore that it throws up challenge for the economy,” Finance minister Arun Jaitley said.

The economy lost steam primarily because of a sharp fall in mining, manufacturing and construction sectors, where demand remained muted even nine months after the government decided to scrap about 86% of cash in circulation to fight corruption and counterfeiting.

A rush to clear large inventories ahead of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) rollout also affected manufacturing, Jaitley said, adding that the drawn-down in stocks is complete so the dip in the sector could be bottoming out. The April-June data, however, does not take into account the impact of the new tax regime launched on July 1.

While manufacturing and construction grew at just 1.2% and 2% respectively, mining output saw a 0.7% contraction year-on-year. This offset relatively robust expansion in services and a moderate growth in farm output.

“One of our worst experiences in India turned (out) to (be) one of our best and we learnt a lot from you,” read the thank you postcard, written by Arie and Sophie Boleswaski and their three daughters to Dadar Gurudwara.

The French tourist family stuck in Mumbai floods on Tuesday went to three hotels in Dadar looking for a safe place before being directed to the Gurudwara. “We were lost in the rain, and your Gurudwara appeared like a lighthouse in the dark. Not only you provided us with a shelter, but you welcomed us with extreme kindness,” said Boleswaskis in the thank you note.

“They were one of 750 victims of Mumbai floods who came to the Gurudwara in need of shelter and food. Considering their concerns and the fact that they are our guests, we ensured they are not inconvenienced in any way,” said Kulwant Singh, vice-president of Dadar Singh Sabha.

Singh said the family was extremely worried after the transportation system of the city collapsed and couldn’t find a safe place to spend the night. “They went about one hotel to another, but couldn’t find a suitable place. That’s when one of the hotel owners, directed them towards us,” said Manpreet Singh, one of the volunteers.

While the family refused any other special arrangement and chose to sleep on floor after seeing the condition of their fellow victims of the deluge, in the morning they said it was the best night of their life, Kulwant said.

As the family returned to their home town Paris, France, on Wednesday morning after the roads were cleared and transportation was resumed, but not without donating towards the cause of public welfare.

“Please accept this small contribution to everything you do for the souls in need. If you happen to come to Paris, please let us know,” said Arie and Sophie Boleswaski in the postcard.

RBI Annual Report: 99% Of Demonetised Currency Returned

Indian citizens deposited almost all the currency that was scrapped during demonetisation, shows data released by the Reserve Bank of India as part of its annual report.

According to the report, specified bank notes (SBNs), or notes that were demonetised, worth Rs 15.28 lakh crore had been received as of June 30, 2017. When demonetisation was announced, the currency in circulation stood at Rs 17.97 lakh crore. 86 percent of this, or Rs 15.45 lakh crore, was rendered invalid by demonetisation.

The RBI, however, said that this data was still provisional.

RBI Annual Report Till such time these notes are processed by the Reserve Bank for their numerical accuracy and authenticity, only an estimation of SBNs received back is possible. Subject to future corrections based on verification process when completed, the estimated value of SBNs received as on June 30, 2017 is Rs 15.28 lakh crore

Detailing the impact of demonetisation on currency composition, the RBI said that the value of banknotes in circulation declined by 20.2 percent over the year to Rs 13.1 lakh crore as of end-March 2017. The volume of banknotes, however, increased by 11.1 percent, mainly due to higher infusion of banknotes of lower denomination in circulation following the demonetisation.

• In value terms, the share of Rs 500 and above banknotes stood at 73.4 percent compared to 86.4 percent before demonetisation
• The share of Rs 2,000 banknotes in the total value of banknotes in circulation was 50.2 percent at end-March 2017

The RBI’s Annual Accounts

The RBI's balance sheet increased by 1.88 percent in the year ended June 30, 2017, showed the report.

• RBI's income for the year decreased by 23.56 percent
• RBI's expenditure for the year increased by 107.84 percent
• RBI had a surplus of Rs 30,659 crore during the year

RBI Annual Report 2016-17 The increase on the asset side was due to increase in foreign investments and domestic investments by 2.70 percent and 7.45 percent, respectively, and capital contribution to the subsidiaries of the Reserve Bank. On the liability side, the increase was mainly due to increase in Deposits by 76.96 percent

Factors that impacted the RBI’s balance sheet during the year included the need for more intervention due to a surge in liquidity post demonetisation. As deposits came in and liquidity surged, the RBI sucked out this excess liquidity through tools such as reverse repo operations. The central bank pays an interest to banks on the amount that they park with it through such a window.

The RBI also incurred higher costs on printing currency.

Triple whammy strikes city: Dengue, H1N1, chikungunya

Docs: Unusual For 3 To Strike At Same TimeAccurate Reporting Of Diseases Helps A Lot

It's dengue season, but the city is in the grip of swine flu and chikungunya as well. Where 2016 saw fewer than 200 cases of swine flu, the count is already nearing 2,000 this year. The viral disease has killed at least five people while a 12-year-old died of dengue in south Delhi's Humayunpur last week.Those are only the official figures -five top hospitals told TOI they have recorded more than 40 swine flu deaths this year. Dengue is also spreading faster than in 2016, with roughly 30% more infections in July this year.
While chikungunya wracked the city during AugustDecember last year, cases this year have been reported all through, with a clear uptick July onwards.
It's unusual for three viral diseases to strike at the same time. “In 20 years of clinical experience, I have not seen this kind of spread of viral illnesses in Delhi. Dengue and swine flu are spreading with similar intensity . People have also tested positive for chikungunya,“ said Dr Suranjit Chatterjee, senior consultant, internal medicine, Apollo hospital. Some patients have also been diagnosed with multiple infections, for example, dengue and typhoid.
“Four members of my family have been down with fever for a week. One of them has tested positive for dengue,“ said Kalpana Sharma, a resident of Greater Kailash-1, who is recovering from viral fever. “The fever takes a week or more to subside these days and the after-effects, like bodyache and fatigue, last even longer.“ The bad news is that the worst is yet to come as these viral diseases spread faster in September and October. “High levels of humidity in August, September and October aid virus growth and transmission,“ said Dr A C Dhariwal, director of National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC).
Dengue and chikungunya are transmitted through the bite of Aedes aegypti mosquito; swine flu spreads from person to person when a patient coughs or sneezes.
Doctors at AIIMS, Safdarjung, Lok Nayak, Apollo, Sir Ganga Ram, Max Saket and BLK hospitals said they have been managing the patient load by utilising beds in non-active departments or creating special wards. But a spike in infections could soon lead to a shortage of beds. In 2015, the Delhi government ordered hospitals to postpone elective surgeries to accommodate dengue patients. Last year, special wards were opened in big hospi tals to deal with the rush of dengue and chikungunya patients. Public health specialists said the looming crisis shows how governments have failed to prepare for viral illnesses spread by mosquitoes and diseases like swine flu.
“The least they can do is raise awareness about preventing the spread of diseases.Dengue and chikungunya, for example, can be reduced significantly if collection of water in household utensils and overhead tanks is stopped. For swine flu, simple measures like maintaining hygiene and staying away from infected people can save so many lives,“ said Dr Rommel Tickko, senior consultant, internal medicine at Max Saket.
The sharp increase in swine flu cases and deaths this year might be because the virus is of a different strain, said Dhariwal. NCDC and AIIMS in Delhi, and Pune's National Institute of Virology have found the `Michigan strain' of swine flu in circulation this year, as against the California strain in previous years.
Dhariwal said accurate reporting of notifiable diseases such as dengue, chikungunya and swine flu is necessary to alert the local population to the precautions needed, and for the state authorities to prepare their action plans to tackle the rush of patients in hospitals.

It's true ! Any thing to say Mr Khattar ?

Khattar Govt must answer !

How lakhs of dera premis were allowed to gather at panchkula, after the imposition of section 144 ? How Ram Raheem moved with around 800 cars towards Panchkula for the verdict ? Entire media was shouting that those dera premis, had bottles of Diesel n Petrol. But Khattar Govt was just supporting the Dera, saying shardhaluon par 144 nahi lagti. SHAME !!!!!
