I just read about a Stampede at a religious event in UP.
I am very sorry such an incident has taken place.
My deepest condolences to the families who have lost their dear ones.

[SRajesh]

^^ Is this a handy work of the unmetionables!!!
If that is so or suspected why are the present dispensation more reactive than pro-active.
Given the election result Yogiji should have been extra alert for any misadventures.
I am worried that the unmetionables are resorting to home grown variety of terror activity given that Napak use will result in major response and thereby unifying the country behind NaMo!!
Worried this may become more and more.
Something needs to be done ASAP!!!

Aditya-L1 Mission: Completion of First Halo Orbit

This is from ISRO:
{emphasis and few comments - mine}

https://www.isro.gov.in/Aditya_L1_Missi ... Orbit.html

July 2, 2024

Today, Aditya-L1 spacecraft has completed its first halo orbit around the Sun-Earth L1 point. The Aditya-L1 mission is an Indian solar observatory at Lagrangian point L1, launched on September 2, 2023 and was inserted in its targeted halo orbit on January 6, 2024. Aditya-L1 spacecraft in the Halo orbit takes 178 days [ about half year ] to complete a revolution around the L1 point.

During its travel in the halo orbit, Aditya-L1 spacecraft will be subjected to various perturbing forces that will cause it to depart from the targeted orbit. It underwent two station-keeping maneuvers on February 22 and June 7, respectively, to maintain this orbit. Today's 3rd station-keeping maneuver has ensured that its travel continued in to thesecond halo orbit path around L1.

This journey of Aditya L1 around Sun-Earth L1 Lagrangian point involves modeling of complex dynamics. The understanding of various perturbing forces acting on the spacecraft helped in determining the trajectory accurately and planning precise orbit maneuvers. With today's maneuver, the state-of-the-art flight dynamics software developed in-house at URSC-ISRO for the Aditya-L1 missions stands fully validated.

The blue trajectory, in the figure, is the orbit around the Lagrangian point L1. This trajectory is a 3 dimensional trajectory, and what is shown is the projection of it in the X-Y plane. SK#1, 2 & 3 are the Station Keeping maneuvers by the Aditya-L1 spacecraft. The final firing of the thrusters, ie. SK#3 on July 2, placed the spacecraft back in the required orbit. If an accurate firing was not done, the spacecraft would have moved away in a trajectory shown in green colour. The X-Y axes are marked in distance of km, with Lagrangian point L1 at the origin.



To get perspective on how large is the 'halo orbit' remember the earth-moon distance is about 240,000 Km.

Look at the numbers and the election results

Poverty dips to 8.5% from 21% in 2011-12, says NCAER paper

NEW DELHI: A new survey has estimated poverty to have declined to 8.5% from 21% in 2011-12 and pointed out that chronic poverty has come down but there is a significant proportion of people who can slip back into poverty due to “accident of life”.

Based on the initial findings of the just-concluded India Human Development Survey, it has estimated headcount ratios of poverty using inflation-adjusted poverty line by the Tendulkar Committee, which is used by govt to formulate and implement its schemes. This is lower than the World Bank’s $2.15 international poverty line using the 2017 purchasing power parity.

Some comic relief from Rajya Sabha.
Don't bring in Varna system.
Kharge immediately retorted, "don't bring Varna system. It (varna system) is still in your mind...that is why you are saying Ramesh is very intelligent...and I am dull so that I should be replaced," Kharge, who belongs to Dalit community, said.
---
I personally feel Kharge-ji should have used the word "dumbo"; which is more appropriate to the context.

[Amber G.]

For the record:

Prime Minister ’s reply to motion of thanks on Rashtrapati ji’s address in the Lok Sabha was a powerful exposition of the country’s firm faith in him and in the NDA Government.

It is an assurance to the nation. Repaying the trust of the people for giving us the opportunity for the third time, the Government will leave no stone unturned in working 24x7 for 2047.

Laying a strong foundation will help fulfilling the aspirations of future generations as we move towards Viksit Bharat.

Just an aside - I'm on vacation, and am perhaps wasting time by listening/following the political discourse live. I'm also doing my usual set of puzzles in math, crosswords, etc., that I do even during working days.

Is it just chance, or does all this speech and debate actually depress the intelligence? I'm certainly finding that my puzzle-solving ability is taking a hit.

If it is not chance, then my hats off to PM Modi and others like him who don't lose their focus with all the nonsense going on around them, 24x7. I don't think I could survive that, as noted above, even limited exposure is damaging my ability to function.

Indian Army's BIG retort after Rahul Gandhi alleges Agniveer's family not paid compensation

"Certain posts on Social Media have brought out that compensation hasn't been paid to the Next of Kin of Agniveer Ajay Kumar who lost his life in the line of duty. It is emphasised that the Indian Army salutes the supreme sacrifice made by Agniveer Ajay Kumar," Army said in a statement.
"The last rites were carried out with full Military Honours. Of the total amount due, family of Agniveer Ajay has already been paid Rs 98.39 lakhs," it said.
"Ex-Gratia and other benefits amounting to approximately 67 lakhs, as applicable according to the provisions of the Agniveer Scheme, will be paid on Final Account Settlement shortly post due Police verification. The total amount will be Rs 1.65 Cr approximately," the Army said.
"It is re-emphasised that emoluments due to a fallen hero are paid expeditiously to the Next of Kin of departed soldiers, including Agniveers," it mentioned.
:
:
:
The matter came to light after Rahul Gandhi earlier today alleged that Agniveer Ajay Kumar's kin, who died in the line of duty, were not paid compensation.
Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday alleged that Defence Minister Rajnath Singh "lied" in Parliament about the issue of compensation to families of martyred Agniveers and demanded an apology for it.
The Congress leader also shared a video on X purportedly of the father of a deceased Agniveer who stated that Rajnath Singh had claimed that Rs 1 crore compensation had been given to the next of kin of martyred Agniveers but no such assistance was received by his family.
Sharing the video message posted by her brother, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra also accused the BJP of "insulting the sacrifice of the families" who gave up their sons for the country. In his video, Rahul Gandhi said that he had stated in his speech in Parliament that the protection of truth is the basis of every religion.
"In reply, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, before Lord Shiva's photo, lied to the country, its armed forces and Agniveers about compensation," Gandhi said in the video. He then referred to the purported statement by the father of an Agniveer martyr Ajay Singh.
Ajay Singh's father said that Rajnath Singh made the statement that families of martyrs have been given Rs 1 crore compensation but no such assistance had been received by his family.
:
:
:
"Rahul Gandhi is raising our voice in Parliament that families of martyrs must get all necessary help. Agniveer recruitment must stop and regular recruitment should be reinstated," he said.
Gandhi said the defence minister had "lied" to the family of martyr Ajay Singh, the armed forces and the youth of the country, and must apologise to them.
Gandh's fresh attack came after Rajnath Singh rebutted the Leader of Opposition's claims in the Lok Sabha on the Agnipath military recruitment scheme, saying it was rolled out after taking suggestions from 158 organisations.
The Congress leader had on Monday criticised the Agnipath scheme for short-term military recruitment and said that the government does not even give them the status of a "shaheed" (martyr) and that no compensation is extended to their families if they are killed in action.
Singh, who intervened when Gandhi was speaking on the Motion of Thanks to the President's address, said that an Agniveer who lays down his life in the line of duty gets a compensation of Rs 1 crore.
The Union minister had asked Gandhi not to mislead Parliament and also requested Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla to expunge the former Congress president's claims on the Agnipath scheme.

[A_Gupta]

I don't know what Indians collectively have done to deserve the kind of people exemplified by Rahul Gandhi.

Think about it - RG is Leader of Opposition, he has the rank of a Cabinet Minister. Suppose someone told him an Agniveer martyr's family did not get compensation. RG can quietly find out the truth - I'm sure Army officials will be responsive to the Leader of Opposition. Then he need not go off half-cocked accusing the Minister of Defense of lying in Parliament before a picture of Shivji.

But RG is showing himself to be impatient, immature at 50+, arrogant, and driven by his personal hatred of PM Modi and the BJP. What has India done to deserve such a man as a leader? So much suffering from centuries of invasions and massacres, artificially created famines, looting and deliberately created poverty -- all that is not prayaschit enough for whatever paapa Indians collectively have? When finally it looks like the burden of history is lifting, along comes another such.

Lastly, it is OK to be anti-Modi, anti-BJP, and play politics however - but don't be anti-India.

Gave him space to operate and come back. Not to speak about intra-BJP events specifically in UP (check what happened to the Chief Sec that AMit Shah wanted to extend for a record 3rd time).

Rahul is supposed to have some 44 cases against him. Some 37 are defamation cases. Why are the rest not being fast-tracked? By the Hon. PM Modi?

Rahul was caught in the US, sometime when Bajpai was PM, with drugs. Bajpai went out of his way to get his release. Only to have the Mother do Bajpai in.

Karma. Cause and effect. You are responsible for giving them space to operate. Even when people give you 303 seats.

Pakis allow terrorists (snakes per Hillary) to thrive in their backyards. Bharat, the Congress party.

People gave BJP 303 seats. And, the Hon. PM bowed down in front of Mamta, etc. He was decisive only with Kejriwal, but then he had no choice. Even today, Rahul had said that the kerosine was spread all across and all it needed was a light. What sort of saved Bharat was the 240 seats for the BJP. Despite that train accidents occur, bridges collapse, overhangs at airports collapse, ................ Kerosine was indeed spilled all across.

The dynamics of Pannun, Nikhil Gupta, Kejriwal, and Suzzana Roy are on display.



Bottom line. Never give your opponent any space to operate. Khatam kar do. We are repeating Somnath, etc.

The weed suppressant is correct education. The weed killer is ruthless politics.

On X/twitter I see - "why would father of an Agniveer lie? The Army must be lying" and "The total amount as stated by Shri Rajnath Singh is a little less than 1 crore, of which around 48 lakh is insurance amount, which is not provided by the government."

The questions are
1. Did the father actually say so?
2. If he did say so, indeed the next question to be asked is whether he is actually living with the family of the martyred Agniveer (meaning mother and siblings)? Family dynamics in India are very complex. Father deserting the family and living with some other woman is not very uncommon.
3. Who did the martyred Agniveer nominate as the beneficiary in case of being killed in the line of duty. The Army knows only too well that being killed in the line of duty is not an uncommon thing. It is inconceivable that that they did not fill in this piece of information at the time of recruitment.
Lastly the the insurance money is very much part of Agniveer scheme. The government pays the insurance premium.
The bureaucracy doesn't tell the Minister the full picture.

Mahesh Jethmalani @JethmalaniM

Here’s a huge smoking gun in the sordid episode of the short sale of #Adani shares by #Hindenburg. Pursuant to #SEBI's notice to Hindenburg, the following facts emerge:
1. Hindenburg - a research agency - was hired by American businessman #MarkKingdon to prepare a report on the Adani Group
2. #Kingdon approached #Kotak’s International Investment arm (KMIL) to set up an offshore fund and offshore accounts to trade in Adani shares. Thus came into existence Kotak India Opportunity Fund (KIOF).
3. KIOF took large short positions in Adani shares through the #Mauritius route before the preparation of the Hindenburg report. The funds for the trade ($40 million) were provided by Kingdon’s Master Fund, a substantial shareholding in which is owned by the Kingdon family including his very high profile wife #AnlaCheng.
4. While all the foregoing is now in the public domain, the smoking gun not hitherto known is that Anla Cheng - a Chinese American - is an influential lobbyist for #Chinese interests in the US. She was the CEO of #SupChina a pro China media corporate initiative which morphed into an entity called The China Project after a whistleblower accused SupChina of news subversion in China's interest in a sworn statement before the US Congress. #TheChinaProject shut down after calls for an investigation into its subversive activities by some US senators including having links with the Chinese Communist Party. The latter clearly has a bone to pick with the Adani group. (See my earlier tweet on X below)
Some issues need to be thoroughly investigated:
1. Who introduced the Kingdons to KMIL, what due diligence was conducted by KMIL regarding the Kingdons and did it participate in the short sell as a principal?
2. Did all the Indian actors - politicians, businessmen and financial intermediaries who aided Hindenburg with the preparation of its Adani report and its publication after the short sale know about its short selling motives and did they financially benefit from it?
3. Did KMIL and the said Indian actors know about the Chinese connection behind Hindenburg ?
Over to #SEBI.

10 bridges have collapsed in bihar so far and people have come back to Modiji demanding special status


This must be a world record, never to be broken


WTF is happening and why

[Pratyush]

What's happening in Bihar is symptomatic of what has happened over the last 50 years.

Successive governments have played games and the babudom is completely out of control.

[Pratyush]

The demand for special status is an externalisation of problems by Bihar.

It's a declaration that come what may, we will not do anything to solve our problems internally. But the special status will miraculously solve all of our problems.

[Deans]

Technically, Bihar is correct in asking for special status, because when the state was split, they lost a lot of revenue with the creation of
Jarkhand (revenue loss was more than the share of spend). Some compensation was promised at the time.
Of course, in reality, special status is to line pockets.

Deans ji,

A report in today's toilet paper says that both andhra and bihar lack the institutional capacity to utilize/spend even those funds that are normally allotted to them

For FY 23, bihar couldn't spend 22% of its revenue budget and 24% of its capital budget, in spite of the wholesale swindling and corruption that resulted in 10 bridges collapsing, to name just one example

For AP, the equivalent figures were 21% of revenue and capital budgets.

Both states are notorious for their pocket maar politicos and venal babooze that they have always had, no matter which party is in power. The loaves and fishes of office are all swindled, pocketed and taken home, as a matter of right

Besides, after the 14th finance commission, special status is no more being granted to any state as huge additional funds are being given by the center as part of the increased revenue share flowing from the center

The modi govt is extremely wary of being trapped in any sort of financial shenanigans, especially by any of its allies, so one doubts if they are going to be handing out moolah by the sacksful to hopeful applicants.

once "special status" is accorded to any state, it will open the flood gates for all other states to demand the same, under one pretext or another, and this massive outflow simply cannot be afforded by the center which has its own projects to fund and expenditure on critical requirements to complete

and the SC is bound to step in with some "paternalistic" advice, like it did in the case of KER, even when it had no business to butt in

Of all govts since independence, this govt is, by far, the most financially prudent and the most conservative in money matters, and they have managed inflation with a evangelistic zeal.

So, the very intent of their demanding "special status" is bound to cause disquiet in several quarters.

But, given the fluid political scenario, we will have to wait and see what the cat ultimately drags in

If just these two jump ship, these two only, along with their gangs of party members, then the NDA can weather the storm

But if other adventurous clowns from other parties, or even some of the independents follow them, then the NDA is done for
