Following Monday’s nonstop heavy rain, areas of Himachal Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and other states in the nation saw flood-like conditions….

By Namrata Sarkar| Wednesday , 7th September Over the next few days, a large rain band that spans four Australian states is predicted to bring with it torrential downpours, hail, and thunderstorms. As the band continues to travel over the nation’s east, the Bureau of Meteorology has issued severe weather warnings for people of SA, NSW, QLD, and VIC. The Bureau also issued a warning, predicting that a cold front will pass over the east coast on Wednesday night and remain there through much of Thursday. According to BOM, “severe storms may result in torrential rainfall, destructive winds, and huge hail.” “Renewal or protracted flooding may result from rainfall over flood-affected areas.” As the erratic weather generates significant swells, hazardous surf warnings are also in effect for Queensland and NSW. Highlights of the event In the following days, a large rain band that is moving across the nation and towards the east coast is expected to produce violent thunderstorms, flash flooding, and strong winds. Thunderstorms and flooding were predicted to be most severe in inland Queensland and northern New South Wales.On Wednesday night, the rain band was predicted to enter Queensland, New South Wales, and Victoria’s western regions before advancing across the remaining eastern states on Thursday. According to senior meteorologist Christie Johnson with the Bureau of Meteorology, between 15 and 40mm of widespread rainfall was predicted, some of it in already-wet areas. Although this may not seem like much rain, since much of it will be falling over already saturated and flooded areas, we anticipate fresh river rises and the potential prolongation of present flooding, she said. We now have a lot of flood warnings in effect, especially in inland NSW, southernQueensland, and portions of Victoria, and we will issue more flood watches and warnings as needed, she continued.The BoM has issued minor to moderate flood warnings for the Bogan, Lachlan, Murrumbidgee, Murray, and Edward rivers, in addition to a minor flood warning for the Macquarie River. In especially over elevated locations, it warned that the system might produce strong wind gusts and hail. South Australia and the southernmost reaches of the Northern Territory had previously experienced the cold front. The front and tropical moisture from the Indian Ocean and Coral Sea were expected to combine to develop the system on Wednesday afternoon over eastern South Australia and the south-eastern Northern Territory.  In Jhonson’s point of view According to Johnson, Australia is currently experiencing a negative Indian Ocean Dipole event, which is responsible for the increased rate of rainfall along the east coast.The sea surface temperatures all around Australia are likewise higher than typical. Because of these factors, a lot of moisture is readily available and might be sucked into these weather systems as they move through the nation, according to the expert.  “The forecast for October to December indicates that most of eastern Australia will see wetter-than-average conditions.”Intense thunderstorms and potentially huge hailstones are predicted to move across the eastern states as part of a gigantic rain belt that will stretch for 2000 km. According to Sky News, a cold front is anticipated to strike Far West NSW on Wednesday in the afternoon. The region will have widespread rain and thunderstorms, according to meteorologist Alison Osborne, while the region’s most significant rainfall will likely remain west of the Great…

Eyewitnesses said that on reaching the stretch of a road that was waterlogged, the lady’s vehicle broke downand she lost balance. She allegedly touched a nearby electric pole for assistance as she struggled to regain her balance so she could continue and was electrocuted. Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) Calls Out By Family The deceased’s family has accused Bangalore Electricity Supply Company Limited (BESCOM) and BBMP of mishandling the electricity and other systems. On Tuesday, the situation in some areas of rain battered Bangalore remained mostly unchanged, with streets still flooded and some homes and vehicles half submerged after a severe rainstorm hit the capital city on September 5 night. According to CM Bommai, between September 1 and September 5, some parts of the state capital received 150 per cent more rain than usual. Bommanahalli, K.R.Puram, and Mahadevapura all reported 307% more rain than normal.

Bangalore received a lot of rain on Monday, which disrupted traffic and caused flooding in several residences. Office workers struggled to get where they needed to go, but tractors and boats were needed to evacuate inhabitants from a number of neighbourhoods, including Rainbow Drive Layout in Sarjapur, the Outer Ring Road, K R Puram, and Varthur. A central team will arrive in the city on Tuesday night to investigate the state’s flooding and rain problems. According to Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai, a letter would be issued regarding the current damages brought on by rain and flooding. Government representatives will meet with the team members following the central team’s tour to the state’s flood-affected districts. Heavy rains are expected in Karnataka through Friday, September 9, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD). In certain remote areas of coastal and southern Karnataka, including Bangalore, very heavy rainfall is predicted. Due to the third heaviest single-day rainfall, the city has ever experienced, roads were inundated, rainwater entered homes, aircraft were diverted, buses and other vehicles broke down, schools were closed, and boats were put to use. Rescue and evacuation efforts are in progress in various locations. In accordance with directives from the BBMP and relief commissioner, NDRF teams have been conducting evacuations for the past two days with the assistance of troops from SDRF as well as fire and emergency services. The Panathur Varthur region and Whitefield’s DNA Iris Apartments have both seen residents evacuated so far by the team. They also responded to a distress call received early one morning from Chaithanya Greenford Apartments in Seegehalli, which had been submerged overnight between Monday and Tuesday due to a lake overflow. 71 residents were saved by the NDRF squad.

By Namrata Sarkar | Sun 4th Sep 2022 The latest on a significant meeting between the German president and the Ukrainian prime minister today in Berlin is available from AFP: Denys Shmyhal, the prime minister of Ukraine, conveyed Kyiv’s request for more armaments to Germany on Sunday, claiming that his nation required more assistance in its conflict with Russia. Shmyhal is the first senior Ukrainian official to travel to Germany in months, signalling a thawing of tensions between Berlin and Kyiv following a difficult period. Shmyhal met with President Frank-Walter Steinmeier during his first stop on his journey, when they “discussed the military situation, tightening sanctions, and the necessity to deliver arms for Ukraine,” according to his tweet. Shmyhal also expressed gratitude to Germany for its “solidarity and support with Ukrainians” before meeting with chancellor Olaf Scholz later on Sunday. According to the spokesman for the German president, Steinmeier told Shmyhal that Germany will “continue to stand steadfastly by Ukraine’s side.” After a dispute broke out in April when Kyiv rejected Steinmeier’s invitation to visit Ukraine, the visit of the Ukrainian prime minister signalled a drastic shift in the relationship’s tenor. Former foreign minister Steinmeier, a member of Scholz’s Social Democratic Party, had been shunned because of his years-long detente policy toward Moscow, which he has since admitted was a mistake in the wake of the start of the war. Highlights of the event in Russia – Ukraine Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission, has been compelled by President Volodymyr Zelensky to create a new set of measures, including a restriction on giving visas to anyone from Europe. According to Vitaliy Kim, the governor of Mykolaiv, soldiers have attacked many residential targets in the city overnight. According to him, dwellings, three hospitals, two educational buildings, a hotel, and a museum were all devastated. Pictures of the destruction are already being released. The Insider has released a video of multiple-launch rocket systems launching from the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power facility location. The video, which was captured overnight on Friday and early on Saturday, reveals the missile launchers adjacent to a power source. Denys Shmygal, the prime minister of Ukraine, will make his first high-ranking official trip to Germany in months on Sunday. The trip is evidence of reduced tensions following a difficult period between Kyiv and Berlin. According to President Volodymyr Zelensky, is attacking the lives of all Europeans by utilising “poor and political disarray.” President Zelensky stated in his evening address late on Saturday that sought to “destroy the regular existence of every European” by halting the Nord Stream 1 project. In addition to combat exhaustion and significant fatalities, the military is experiencing “morale and discipline challenges,” according to the UK Ministry of Defence. According to the International Atomic Energy Agency, the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power station is now only using a reserve line after being cut off from its final major power line to the grid. According to local-backed officials, there had been prior reports that the plant in south-eastern Ukraine had been shut down in the early hours of Saturday due to persistent shelling that had broken a crucial power connection. Sweden’s initiatives Sweden has stated that it will give Nordic and Baltic energy businesses liquidity guarantees worth “billions of dollars” in an effort to avert a financial disaster brought on by Europe’s energy shortage. Siemens Energy has offered to assist in repairing damaged Nord Stream 1 gas pipeline equipment, according to the energy business Gazprom, but the company has asserted that there is no place accessible for them to do the operation. The economic commissioner, Paolo Gentiloni, stated that the European Union expects to uphold existing energy contracts but is ready to take on the challenge if it does not. After the G7 finance ministers declared they intended to place a price ceiling on oil to reduce “capacity to pay its war of aggression,” Gazprom announced that the Nord Stream pipeline 1 would not restart.

The investigation into Nora Fatehi’s role has begun after the Enforcement Directorate listed Jacqueline Fernandez as a suspect in Sukesh Chandrasekhar’s 200 crore money laundering case. Nora Fatehi, an actor and dancer, arrived at the Enforcement Directorate (ED) office on October 14 to participate in the inquiry pertaining to the same criminal case. In connection with a Rs 200 crore extortion case, a Delhi court has sentenced Sukesh Chandrasekhar and actress Leena Maria Paul to three days of ED detention.According to the story, the police reportedly questioned the Street Dancer 3D performer about her interactions with other people, including who she spoke to, where she met them, and what presents she received. They were detained in connection with an extortion ring operating out of a jail in Delhi in accordance with the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). She was reportedly working with the investigators, per ANI. Nora was questioned on more than 50 different topics, such as what presents she received, who she spoke with, where she met them, and so forth. She claimed that she and Jacqueline had separate conversations with Sukesh Chandrashekhar. Highlight of the event Additionally, the agency noted that Nora claimed his (Sukesh’s) wife spoke with her for a nail art event and subsequently frequently called her. She received a BMW as a gift. She added that she was unaware of Sukesh’s criminal history and that he primarily spoke with her manager and cousin rather than her. In a previous court filing, Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez stated unequivocally that she finds it astonishing that Norah Fatehi, along with a few other famous people, was duped by primary defendant Sukesh Chandrashekhar in the Rs 200 crore extortion case. According to the Delhi police, Nora insisted that she and Jacqueline were speaking to Sukesh Chandrashekharindividually and that she had no relationship to any of them. According to the police, she also mentioned that Chandrashekhar’s wife had phoned her frequently after speaking with her once for a nail art event. She revealed more gifts they gave her, including a BMW. The actor also stated to the police that she was not aware of Chandrashekhar’s criminal history. She continued by saying that while he spoke with her manager and cousin frequently, he spoke with her much less frequently. Gifts received During the interrogation, Nora Fatehi also admitted that after speaking with Sukesh’s wife for a nail art event, they frequently called her. They gave her gifts, including a BMW. Sukesh had conversations with Fatehi’s manager and cousin in addition to relatively few conversations with her, according to Fatehi, who claimed she was unaware of his criminal history. Previously, in September and October 2021, Nora’s statement was recorded in accordance with section 50 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act 2002. The actress said that she was hired for a charity event and that Leena Paulose, Sukesh Chandrasekhar’s wife, gave her a Gucci bag and an iPhone as gifts. According to Ravindra Yadav, Spl CP, CrimeEoW, who was quoted by ANI, Nora stated she was unaware that the event she was invited to in Chennai was associated with this criminal organisation. “How the car and gifts that she had received were utilised, however, remains to be known. Only after a thorough investigation can we draw a conclusion, Yadav continued. She complied, but there are still some unsolved questions, he continued. We might need to ask more questions later. Investigation is ongoing to determine all connections, participants in the primaryconspiracy, and if recipients of gifts were aware of their criminal backgrounds o were complicit in the scheme. Jacqueline Fernandes expressed her surprise Jacqueline Fernandez recently expressed surprise that other celebrities, such as Norah Fatehi, who was also defrauded by the main culprit Sukesh Chandrashekhar, were made witnesses in the case despite the fact that she was listed as an accused in a plea before the Appellate Authority of PMLA. “The investigation conducted so far has revealed that the accused, Jacqueline Fernandez, is knowingly directly and indirectly involved in the process and activity connected with the proceeds of crime and acquired, possessed and used part proceeds of crime by way of receiving valuable gifts and enormous sums for herself and her family members in India and abroad, and thereby committed an offence of money laundering,” the ED claims in the supplementary charge sheet.

Hawaii Power Plant AES Corporation coal plant shut down on Thursday after 30 years of operation. The final coal shipment arrived in the islands at the end of July. Up to onefifth of the electricity used on Oahu, the state’s most populated island and home to approximately 1.5 million people, was generated by this facility.In an interview with The Associated Press, Hawaii Governor David Ige stated that “it really is about decreasing greenhouse gases.”  “And one of the biggest emitters is this coal-burning facility. By turning it off, we will stop the annual emission of 1.5 million metric tonnes of greenhouse gases.” The Hawaiian chain has experienced the cascading effects of climate change, just like other Pacific islands. Coral reefs in the state are being destroyed by bleaching brought on by rising ocean temperatures, a rapid rise in sea level, more powerful storms, and dryness, which raises the state’s danger of wildfires. A bill prohibiting the use of coal for the production of energy at the beginning of 2023 was passed by the Hawaiin Legislature in 2020. Hawaii was the first state to set a required transition to 100% renewable energy by the year 2045. Critics contend that while eliminating the state’s dirtiest energy source in the long run is a wise decision, doing so now is not. Due to contract concerns, supply chain issues related to the pandemic, and delays in obtaining permits, renewable energy sources intended to replace coal energy are not yet operational. As a result, the state will burn more expensive oil, which is only marginally less harmful than coal. Democratic state senator Glenn Wakai, who serves as chair of the Committee on Economic Development, Tourism, and Technology, stated, “If you are a believer that climate change will cease because we shut down this coal plant, this is a beautiful day for you.” However, if you have to pay an electrical bill, today is a terrible day for you. Consumers who already pay the highest energy and living costs in the country will see an increase in electricity rates as a result of the demise of coal and the rising price of oil. Ratepayers were expected to receive a 7% increase in their bills, but Hawaiian Electric Company amended that projection down to 4% on Thursday due to a decline in oil costs. The transition from the least expensive fossil fuel to the most expensive fossil fuel is what we’re doing, according to Wakai. Additionally, geopolitical problems with oil access and pricing will be a problem. In light of the closing of the AES coal plant, Hawaii has now joined the list of states without any significant coalfired power plants, according to statistics from the organisation Global Energy Monitor, which promotes the switch to renewable energy worldwide.  There have never been any coal-fired power facilities in Vermont or Rhode Island. While a few other states had passed laws, Hawaii is the first to fully impose a ban on coal. The first state to  enact a ban, Oregon, passed a bill in 2015, although won’t take effect until 2035.  The 2020 coal prohibition in Washington State takes effect in 2025. States that have imposed restrictions on the development of new coal fired power facilities include California, Maine, and Texas. According to data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, about two thirds of Hawaii’s electricity was produced by oil in 2021. Hawaii is the state most dependent on petroleum as a result, despite its attempts to quickly switch to renewable energy. In Hawaii, renewable energy sources like wind, solar, hydroelectricity, and geothermal energy now provide about 40% of the state’s energy needs. Coal is increasing. The cost is increasing, “He remarked of the supply Hawaii receives from Indonesian rainforests that have been clear-cut. “U.S. coal wouldn’t be the cheapest energy source on the grid if we were using it,” Why would Hawaii, a little American state in the Pacific, strive to set the pace for switching to sustainable energy? The repercussions of climate change are already being felt, Glenn said.”If we are not ready and able to act on our own, it is neither fair nor right to ask other countries or states to do so. We drown if we don’t.” Read More:- https://tdznkwjt9mxt6p1p8657.cleaver.live/ins-vikrant-india-aircraft-carrier-commissioned/

By Namrata Sarkar | Wednesday 31st Aug , 2022 Seema Patra, the head of the BJP’s Jharkhand branch, has been placed on administrative leave after being charged of torturing, assaulting, and locking up her domestic assistance for eight years. On Tuesday, the BJP suspended Seema Patra, the head of its chapter in Jharkhand, following accusations that she had mistreated her housekeeper for eight years. An article from India Today claims that Sunita, a tribal woman, was forced to clean the bathroom with her tongue. The victim, Sunita, was allegedly beaten with a hot pan and iron rods and made to lick the urine off the floor. Sunita has numerous injuries on her body.  Sunita was unable to stand by herself because she was imprisoned in a chamber without food or drink and had her teeth shattered with an iron rod as well. At the moment, she is receiving care at RIMS in Ranchi.On August 22, Ranchi Police freed the victim from the BJP leader’s residence. Seema Patra, a former Jharkhand-based IAS officer who is also his wife, has not yet been detained. The event has been reported to the National Commission for Women (NCW). Sunita is a resident of a village in Gumla and is of tribal descent. She was hired to work as a domestic helper in the Patras’ home about ten years ago. Later, she and the couple’s daughter Vatsala Patra were dispatched to Delhi. When Vatsala was transferred from Delhi to Ranchi, Sunita returned there and stayed at BJP’S Seema’s residence. If Sunita’s urine unintentionally spilled outside of the room, she had to wipe it up by licking it with her mouth, according to the news agency IANS. According to reports, Ayushman, Patra’s son, sought to assist the victim and told his buddy Vivek Baski, a personnel department officer in the Jharkhand government, about the events that had taken place at home. Sunita then told Vivek about her trauma, and after Vivek complained to Deputy Commissioner Rahul Kumar Sinha, Sunita was saved. According to a tweet from The Dalit Voice, Sunita was repeatedly burned with iron rods while being forced to “lick urine.” The user also posted a video of Sunita lying on a hospital bed, clearly hurt.

Sunita was saved with his assistance after she, at last, told Vivek about her tragedy. The allegations that Seema Patra had harassed her domestic worker in Jharkhand were brought to the attention of the National Commission for Women. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXzK56yKxYU NCW chairperson Rekha Sharma said in a statement that the panel has written to the DGP of Jharkhand requesting that the accused be taken into custody if the charges are proven to be genuine. Rekha Sharma has stated, “The BJP Commission has also requested a fair and timely probe on the matter.

By Namrata Sarkar |Tue 30th August , 2022 Climate Change Minister Sherry Rehman stated on Monday that a third of Pakistan is underwater due to flooding brought on by record-breaking monsoon rains, describing the situation as “a calamity of unthinkable proportions.” Updates on the flood so far One in seven Pakistanis, according to officials, have been impacted by the floods, which have killed 1,136 people since the monsoon season began in June. One thirdof Pakistan has been submerged by monsoon rains that have fallen nonstop since June, killing more than 1,100 people and affecting tens of millions more Pakistanis.  Ahsan Iqbal, the country’s minister of planning and development, has estimated that more than €10 billion will be required to restore and reconstruct the infrastructure that was destroyed by the floods.He claimed that there has been extensive destruction, “particularly in the telecommunications, highways, agriculture, and livelihood sectors.” According to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, the rains were “unprecedented in 30 years,” and they wrecked massive tracts of farmland that were crucial to the nation’s economy in addition to destroying or seriously damaging more than a million dwellings. A €160 million appeal has been launched by the UN and the Pakistani government to assist pay for emergency aid. To help the more than 33 million people, or one in seven Pakistanis, who have been affected by the floods, government and aid organisations are working slowly. The effort is challenging because several roads and bridges have been entirely destroyed by the floodwaters, shutting off some towns. Highlights of the event The few remaining dry areas in the south and west force the displaced to swarm onto elevated highways or trains in order to escape the flood plains. The incidents have been referred to as “a massive humanitarian calamity” and “apocalyptic” by Pakistan’s minister of the environment, Sherry Rehman. On the Indian subcontinent, the monsoon, which typically lasts from June to September, is crucial for irrigating crops and replenishing water supplies.  But every year, it also brings its fair share of tragedy and destruction. Pakistani leaders attribute the extreme weather on climate change and claim that their nation is suffering as a result of other countries’ negligent environmental practises. “We have been the hottest area on the earth this year with temperatures of 53 degrees and above. The glaciers broke, and three times as much water fell during the outburst floods as usual. “So, there has only been a 300% growth.The glacier melting that we observed is actually a result of global warming, according to Rehman. She also anticipated a surge in fatalities due to the continued isolation of many northern regions of the nation, where dozens of rivers are still fully flooded. Rehman reiterated the government’s request for aid from other nations while also accusing important industrialised nations for contributing to global warming. Pakistan ranks seventh on a list of nations the NGO Germanwatch considers most vulnerable to extreme weather brought on by climate change, while producing less than 1% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions. “The major emitters need to reassess their procedures. We have reached a clearly defined threshold “She spoke. Large tracts of cropland in the provinces of southern Sindh and western Balochistan are now nothing but watery landscapes, while in the north, wild mountain rivers have washed away highways and bridges. On flights from Turkey and the United Arab Emirates, the first foreign aid started to trickle into Pakistan on Monday. This marked the beginning of a massive relief operation to lessen the effects of the disaster, which has affected about 33 million people and submerged large portions of the nation. As many settlements in the hilly northern areas are shut off by flood-swollen rivers that wiped away roads and bridges, the death toll from the deluges, which has now reached at least 1,061, is expected to grow. In the north, where dangerous flying circumstances result from steep hills and valleys, the army’s helicopters were straining to rescue people and bring them to safety. In the north, where dangerous flying circumstances result from steep hills and valleys, the army’s helicopters were straining to rescue people and bring them to safety. Numerous rivers in the region, a popular tourist destination, have overflowed their banks, destroying dozens of structures, including a 150-room hotel that collapsed into a roaring torrent. As the “monster monsoon” of this year began to subside, Pakistan’s climate minister issued a warning that up to one-third of the country would be under water. https://youtu.be/bgBUrbnSTE4

By Namrata Sarkar | Sunday 28th Aug , 2022 Supertech Twin Towers in Noida will be torn down Highlights from today’s NoidaSupertech Twin Towers Demolition include: The Supertech twin towers in Noida were ultimately brought down at 2:30 on Sunday after much delay. Highlights of the event Highlights of Today’s Demolition of the Noida Supertech Twin Towers: A nineyear court fight came to an end Monday with the demolition of the illegitimate Supertech Twin Towers in Noida, Uttar Pradesh. Infused with 3,700 kg of explosives, the roughly 100-meter-tall towers which were higher than Delhi’s famous Qutub Minarfell like a house of cards in less than 9 seconds. The Apex and Ceyane buildings, which were taller than Delhi’s Qutub Minar, contained 915 apartments, 21 stores, and 2 basements.Just fifteen minutes after the destruction, the NoidaGreater Noida Expressway was shut down before traffic could restart. For the demolition, about 5,000 residents of the nearby societies, ATS Greens Village and Emerald Court, had to leave their apartments. They can begin returning at 6:30 PM. The delivery of power and cooking gas has been resumed. According to Ritu Maheshwari, CEO of Noida, there hasn’t been any harm done to any housing communities. Around the demolition site and the NoidaGreater Noida Expressway, around 500 police officers and traffic enforcement officers were stationed. Drones are not allowed to fly in the area over Noida. Flights were prohibited for the duration of the demolition within a one nautical mile radius of the blast. The explosion was carried out by South Africa’s Jet and Mumbai-based Edifice Engineering. How did the demolition take place According to Ritu Maheshwari, CEO of Noida Authority, AQI data from before and after destruction is essentially identical. Around 7 PM, residents of neighbouring societies will be permitted. 300 cleaning personnel and 100 water tankers hav been sent out. In an astounding display of contemporary engineering, the approximately 100-meterhigh skyscrapers were literally brought to the earth like a house of cards in a matter of seconds by the “waterfall implosion” technique. The Emerald Court project, located in Sector 93A and built on land leased by the Noida authorities, includes the Twin Towers Apex and Ceyane in Noida. Supertech Ltd claimed in a statement, as cited by PTI, that the building plans for the Project, including the two towers, were strictly in compliance with the then-applicable Building Bye regulations declared by the State Government in 2009. “However, the Hon’ble Supreme Court issued orders to demolish the two skyscrapers since it determined that the building was not adequate on a technical level. We are committed to implementing the Supreme Court’s rulings and respect them, the statement continued.”We are committed to delivering the remaining homes as scheduled.
