    The central government is not considering the proposal to impose additional Goods and Services Tax (GST) of 10 percent on diesel cars. Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari has given this information. A large number of diesel-powered vehicles are used in the country.

Its objective was to stop automobile companies from manufacturing and selling diesel engine vehicles. Gadkari had said that if the automobile industry does not stop making diesel cars, the government will increase the tax so much that it will become difficult to sell diesel vehicles. Gadkari has said in clarification regarding this that the government is not considering any such proposal. He said, “There is an immediate need to clarify media reports regarding additional 10 percent GST on the sale of diesel vehicles. It is important to clarify that the government is not considering any such proposal. Our carbon net by 2070 “With the commitment to achieve zero and reduce air pollution caused by harmful fuels like diesel, it is necessary to use environment friendly alternative fuels. These fuels should be import substitutes, low cost, indigenous and pollution free.” In the report regarding imposition of additional tax on diesel vehicles, Gadkari was quoted as saying that diesel is a harmful fuel and the country imports it in large quantities. The automobile industry should reduce its production of diesel engines. If this does not happen then the government will be forced to increase the tax on diesel vehicles. Gadkari had recently launched a car that runs completely on ethanol. In many other countries too, emphasis is being laid on vehicles running on alternative fuels.

Overall 18 teams from one block participated in the race. Students of both boys and girls aged under 14, 17 and 19 studying in all government schools are included. More than 500 students from a total of 288 teams from across the district are involved.

    Facilities are not being provided to students

    Medical facilities including morning breakfast, lunch and dinner are available to the students through Jharkhand Education Project in the playground Curzon Ground complex. It is being claimed that food is not being served to the students as per the menu. Somehow the students are being fed. On Tuesday afternoon, students were given pulses, rice and vegetable curry. Necessary food like salad, curd, sweet (Rasgulla) is not available. District President of Assistant Teacher Sangharsh Morcha, Chandan Mehta, who arrived on the call of DEO, has raised questions on the food, accommodation and other facilities of the students. He said that lakhs of rupees have been received from the government for providing food, accommodation and other legal arrangements to the students. The concerned education officers are busy in embezzling this money. Students are not getting food as per the menu. Some officials are spending the amount received for the basic comforts of students on their own comforts.

    Chandan Mehta made this allegation

    Chandan Mehta said that earlier, between 25th to 30th July 2023, a two-day Pre Subroto Cup football tournament was organized at the Saint Robert School ground in Sindoor in the city. Then the two-day competition at Chhotanagpur divisional level (seven districts) was held at Curzon Ground. The players selected in both the competitions had reached Hazaribagh. In this also, students are said to have spent lakhs of rupees on chicken, food and accommodation. Chandan Mehta has raised the question that Sawan was going on in July. Even after this, the education officials have committed fraud of money by talking about feeding chicken to the students. He has demanded an impartial investigation into this matter by the appropriate Nancy Sahay and action should be taken against the education officials involved in it. A leader of the teachers organization said that no official of any teachers organization has been invited to the four-day Khelo Jharkhand competition. This is a violation of protocol.

    competition based on teachers

    All competitions have been left to the teachers. After the beginning and end of the game, education officers are not arriving to reward the students. Sports teachers and other project workers are somehow busy honoring the students by giving them medals. Late in the evening of 11th September, in the Kabaddi competition, two teams got into a fight over ‘we won’, ‘we won’. Later on the stage, some teachers from both the teams got into a scuffle after an argument. Both were pacified by intervention. There were no education officers at the spot.

  • Putin and dictator Kim Jong-un will meet, know why fear is troubling the world

    America’s biggest enemy is North Korea, as big as Russia is. Both countries are an eyesore for America. In such a situation, if both the countries meet, it will be a matter of great concern for many countries including America. Actually, once again North Korean dictator Kim Jong and Russian President Vladimir Putin are going to meet. It is being told that soon Kim Jong is going to go to Russia for a meeting. It is noteworthy that this is the first time after 2019 when the rulers of the two countries will meet. However, information about where the two will meet has not been revealed yet.

    The closeness between Russia and North Korea is increasing
    According to the New York Times, Kim Jong may soon go to Russia and meet Putin. At the same time, the White House has also expressed the possibility that talks are going on between Russia and North Korea regarding weapons. Kim and Putin may meet soon. In this context, America’s National Security Council official John Kirby had said on August 30 that talks regarding arms transactions between North Korea and Russia are gaining momentum. Actually, Russian President Vladimir Putin wants supply of weapons for his army, for which he is in talks with North Korea. In fact, after the sanctions imposed by Western nations, Russia and its military supplier Wagner Group had already allegedly contacted North Korea for weapons.

    North Korea may ask for technology in exchange for weapons
    This arms trade and growing trade relations with North Korea could have a significant impact on Ukraine’s battlefield. My research on arms trade with North Korea shows that North Korea may demand technology from Russia in exchange for arms. This will greatly benefit North Korea’s weapons programs and will also be able to compensate for the damage caused by the sanctions imposed by the United Nations. The United Nations wants to limit North Korea’s weapons programs, for which it has imposed several sanctions against North Korea.

    Efforts to improve military relations
    Recent developments make it clear that despite the denials of North Korea and Wagner Group owner Yevgeny Prigozhin, arms trade relations have deepened rapidly. However, Prigozhin had died recently. America had claimed in September 2022 that North Korea was supplying large quantities of weapons to Russia. In January 2023, two months after North Korea allegedly supplied rockets and missiles to the Wagner Group, Kirby shared a satellite photo of a train loaded with lethal weapons on the North Korean-Russian border.

    America had imposed a ban
    In March, the US Treasury Department imposed sanctions on Ashot Mkrtchychev, a Slovakian citizen who worked with North Korean officials to purchase two dozen types of weapons and munitions for Russia. This shows that there are many routes of contact between the two countries. Apart from this, in July, the US had imposed sanctions on North Korean arms businessman Rim Yong Hyok for supplying weapons to the Wagner Group. In a 2019 UN report, a person with the same name was described as an official of North Korean arms company Komid in Syria.

    brothers in arms
    Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu’s visit to Pyongyang, however, underlines the importance of the strengthening relations between the two countries. Most importantly, the task of showing the weapons exhibition to Shoigu was done by North Korean leader Kim Jong Un himself. Intercontinental ballistic missiles, long-range hypersonic missiles and advanced drones with new technology as well as other weapon systems were also present in this exhibition.

    Pyongyang’s hunger for technology
    There is no doubt that in the changing situation, Russia will benefit in the Ukraine war. At the same time, Russia’s purchase of arms from North Korea will strengthen its economic power, which has weakened due to the numerous sanctions imposed on the Kim Jong Un regime. This will also help North Korea in raising revenue. Not only this, it can also boost North Korea’s arms export enterprise. North Korea is in dire need of food items, oil, fertilizers and other essential goods. The Slovakian man mentioned above worked with Korean officials to purchase commercial aircraft, raw materials and various goods for North Korea in exchange for arms to Russia.

    What is more worrying about North Korea is that it has long been dependent on arms sales to fund the development of various weapons, including nuclear and long-range missile programs. This has been termed ‘proliferation financing’. Efforts have been made at various levels around the world to implement UN sanctions.

    SDRF team launched rescue operation

  • WhatsApp HD Photos: New feature of WhatsApp! Share photos in HD quality, this is how it works

    Now you will be able to share photos in HD quality on WhatsApp. This feature has started becoming available in the chat application itself. Meta says that users will start getting this feature in the next few weeks. WhatsApp has said that both Android and iOS users will now be able to share high quality and high resolution images in WhatsApp chat. Not only this, WhatsApp web and desktop users will also be able to send HD images. Meta, the company that owns WhatsApp, has also informed that soon HD quality videos can be sent on WhatsApp. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the rollout of this feature through a Facebook post on Thursday. As soon as a user adds the image in the chat, he will see the HD icon. This feature was tested some time ago. However, it is worth noting that more data will be consumed while sharing HD images. Such images will also take up more storage in the phone. How WhatsApp ‘HD photos’ works: This feature of WhatsApp was first spotted by WABetaInfo. It is claimed that whenever users share a photo, the HD image will be slightly compressed. Users will have to manually select the HD option every time. However, Meta has not specified how much it will compress the HD photo. WhatsApp has already said that the HD images shared by users will be secured with end-to-end encryption. Suppose you share HD photos to someone and his internet is slow, then that user will be able to download standard photos instead of HD. Recently the brand has also introduced screen-sharing feature during video calls. It looks quite similar to Google Meet and Zoom.

Compared to leprosy and HIV. This comment of both the leaders has created a political controversy.

    Thakur said, “Leaders of Congress allies are talking about ending Sanatan Dharma… but Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi are silent. They are silent because elections are important for them. But for BJP, not elections, Sanatan Dharma and Baba Saheb’s Constitution are supreme.

    He said, “Mughals came and the British also came and went, but Sanatan is there and will remain so.”

    Thakur alleged, “Congress and its allies call Sanatan Dharma as AIDS, dengue and malaria for votes.” Congress raised question marks on the existence of Lord Ram and termed him imaginary. Congress and its allies say that Sanatan Dharma will have to be rooted out.

    He said this while addressing a public meeting under Bharatiya Janata Party’s Jan Ashirwad Yatra in Barwani district.

    Thakur said that Congress leaders will go to the voters to seek votes by claiming themselves to be devotees of Lord Shiva, Devi, Hanuman and Krishna, but the truth is that this party (Congress) and its allies want to destroy Hindus.

    He said, “Does the Constitution of India have no value in the eyes of Congress? Look at the rule of law, the Congressmen who once described Lord Ram as imaginary are now calling themselves true Hindus. Why does Congress, which raises questions on Hindus, want to destroy Sanatan and the Constitution from its roots?
