Chandigarh AQI ‘very poor’, Administration blames burning of waste on periphery

by Leave a Comment

With prevailing weather conditions, Chandigarh AQI continued to remain in the “very poor” category for the past many days.

Chandigarh AQI

The average Chandigarh AQI (air quality index) on Tuesday stood at 344 around 8.05 pm, while it was 343 on Monday. The AQI reading at the continuous ambient air quality monitoring station in Sector 22 was 362. The station in Sector 53, bordering Mohali, recorded the highest AQI level of 376 and the one in Sector 25 logged 295.

TC Nautiyal, Director, Environment, UT, said the drop in the air quality might be due to the prevailing weather conditions and also, there were reports of garbage burning mostly by junk dealers in the adjoining areas of the city.

With no rain expected any time soon, the AQI is likely to remain high in the coming days as well, according to the Meteorological Department.

The AQI between 301 and 400 is considered “very poor” and can cause respiratory illness on prolonged exposure. The AQI between 401 and 500 is considered “severe” and can affect healthy people and seriously impacts those with existing diseases.

“Dive into the political heat as Rahul Gandhi faces potential charges for ‘provoking crowd’ as per Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma’s directive. Stay informed on this unfolding legal and political drama with insights into the implications and reactions surrounding the controversial situation.”

This comes after clashes broke out between Congress workers and Assam police after the ongoing Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra was stopped from entering Guwahati.

Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Tuesday asked state police to file a case against Rahul Gandhi for ‘provoking crowd’ amid Congress workers were stopped from entering Guwahati during the ongoing Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra.

Nearly 5,000 Congress workers, along with Rahul Gandhi, trying to enter Guwahati on Tuesday were intercepted after the party restarted its flagship ‘Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra’ in Assam today. Following this, party workers clashed with police officials and broke police barriers. Cops resorted to lathi-charge to disperse the crowd.

Addressing a gathering close to the Guwahati border, Rahul Gandhi said his party workers would never break the rules and disrupt law and order; however, “this doesn’t mean that we are weak”.

“Assam CM, the Union Home Minister and the PM can break the rules, but we (Congress) would never do such a thing. However, this doesn’t mean that we are weak. Congress workers are ‘Babbar Sher’,” he said, standing atop a bus.

Before leaving for Guwahati, the former Congress chief alleged that Union home minister Amit Shah instructed the Assam CM to stop him from meeting students, which was scheduled for today.

Ram Lalla is clad in a yellow dhoti the colour of which blended with the yellow of flowers and the yellow of the dazzling jewellery. Intricate flower decoration stood out even amid the majestic jewellery with which the idol has been decked up.

by Leave a Comment

A man of many talents, Shrikant Jichkar was an accomplished individual. He was a civil servant, philanthropist, lawyer, researcher, doctor, and politician!

Shrikant Jichkar was an accomplished man with a wealth of skills. He was a politician as well as a civil servant, a researcher, physician, lawyer, journalist, and a philanthropist. He died in a tragic car accident in 2004, leaving behind a legacy of excellence and service, but he also left behind his name permanently etched in the annals of Indian history. 

Shrikant Jichkar belongs to a Marathi family. He was born on September 14, 1954, and is widely regarded by many as India’s most educated person. IAS officer Shrikant Jichkar entered politics after leaving the service. At just 26, he became the youngest member of the Legislative Assembly in India. Notably, Jichkar had earned graduate degree from 20 universities. 

After receiving his MBBS and MD degrees from Nagpur, Shrikant Jichkar went on to earn degrees in public administration, sociology, economics, Sanskrit, history, English literature, philosophy, political science, and ancient Indian history, culture, and archaeology. He also earned degrees in a master’s degree in international law, a master’s degree in business administration, a doctor of business management, a bachelor’s degree in journalism, and doctor of literature in Sanskrit. Shrikant Jichkar was a very bright student and he was awared multiple gold medals for his brilliant academic performances.

Reports state that between 1973 and 1990, Shrikant Jichkar took part in 42 university examinations. He took these exams every summer and winter. Shrikant Jichkar passed the UPSC exam in 1978 and was appointed as a central civil servant in the Indian Police Service cadre. Jichkar resigned from the cadre in 1980 before retaking the UPSC exam to become an IAS officer. Just a few weeks after joining the IAS, Jichkar fought the election and won as MLA. He decided to quit his job as IAS officer and was named a minister.

On June 2, 2004, near Kondhali, approximately 50 kilometres from Nagpur, Shrikant Jichkar, then 49-year-old, lost his life in a car accident. Serving as the Minister of State in the Maharashtra government, Shrikanth was a member of the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly from 1980 to 1985 and the Maharashtra Legislative Council from 1986 to 1992.

Budget 2024: What is Interim Budget? How is it different from full-year Budget?

Sitharaman clarified that the February 1, 2024, Budget would only serve to meet the government’s expenditure until a new government is formed due to the upcoming elections!

Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman is slated to present the interim Budget for the fiscal year 2024-25 on February 1. This Budget will serve as a provisional financial outline until the new government is formed after the general elections, with the full budget expected in July 2024.

Sitharaman emphasized that this Interim Budget would not include any “spectacular announcements” but would be a “vote on account.” A vote on account, or Interim Budget, is a customary practice before elections, outlining anticipated receipts and expenditures for the transitional period until the new government takes charge.

In contrast to a comprehensive full-fledged Budget, which encompasses all aspects of government finances and outlines economic strategies for the entire fiscal year, an Interim Budget is more focused on immediate financial requirements during the transitional phase. Major policy announcements are traditionally avoided during a vote on account, although there is no constitutional prohibition against substantial announcements.

The Interim Budget, also known as a ‘vote on account,’ functions as authorization for specific expenditures necessary until a new government assumes office. However, the Election Commission of India imposes limitations to prevent undue influence on voters. The government is restricted from proposing significant taxes or policy reforms during this budget to ensure fairness in the electoral process.

Sitharaman clarified that the February 1, 2024, budget would only serve to meet the government’s expenditure until a new government is formed due to the upcoming elections. Prior to a vote on account, governments refrain from presenting the customary pre-budget ‘Economic Survey,’ which traditionally accompanies the full budget presentation in July. The Economic Survey provides insights into the economic state and key events.

According to Article 116 of the Constitution, a vote on account signifies an upfront allocation from the ‘Consolidated Fund of India,’ specifically designated for addressing immediate expenditure needs. This fund includes all revenue generated by the central government, such as taxes and interest on loans. Typically effective for two months, a vote on account can be extended if necessary.
