विपक्ष का INDIA, भाजपा का भारत? | INDIA: United opposition's name  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8HidOvgpRo

Ravish Kumar Official असम के मुख्यमंत्री हिमंत बिस्वा सरमा को अचानक याद आया है कि भारत और इंडिया में सभ्यता का संघर्ष है। ये अभी ताज़ा-ताज़ा हुआ है। विपक्ष के नाम के सार-संक्षेप एक्रोनिम INDIA की घोषणा के बाद। इस सामूहिक विपक्ष को लेकर भाजपा उतनी चिंतित नहीं लग रही जितनी इस नाम को लेकर लग रही है। असम के मुख्यमंत्री ही नहीं, प्रधान मंत्री भी INDIA के जवाब में 25 साल पुराने NDA को नया फ़ुलफ़ॉर्म देते दिखाए दिए। NDA की बैठक में उन्होंने कहा है कि जनता जान रही है कि वो कौन सा गोंद है जिसके कारण विपक्ष एक हो रहा है। क्या प्रधानमंत्री भूल जाते हैं कि चुनी हुई सरकारों को तोड़ने के लिए उनकी ख़ुद की पार्टी में परिवारवाद और भ्रष्टाचार से जुड़े नाम शामिल हो चुके हैं? अगर प्रधानमंत्री एक प्रेस कॉन्फ़्रेन्स कर लेते तो इस बात का जवाब मिल जाता।

Dharavi dreams: The new redevelopment plan ignores the rights of the people who built it  https://scroll.in/article/1039858/dharavi-dreams-the-new-redevelopment-plan-ignores-the-rights-of-the-people-who-built-it  Hussain Indorewala

The area’s staggering land value has been collectively produced over the decades, much of it by the labour of residents themselves...In 2009, a committee of experts wrote to Ashok Chavan, who was chief minister at the time, that the Dharavi Redevelopment Project is a “sophisticated land grab...being driven by personal greed rather than the welfare of the residents of Dharavi”. This time round, it is a brazen handout of prime urban land – one that forebodes unimaginable hardship for millions of Dharavi’s residents.

Dharavi could develop more fruitfully through a self-organising process, provided it is allowed a lot of time, and a good deal of material support and planning aid. A rapid transformation of this spread of settlements is impossible without extreme coercion and violence. Is this what the new overlords of Dharavi have in mind?

Battle 2024 set up as Modi Vs rest as newly-founded, Congress-led I.N.D.I.A takes on reinvented NDA ThePrint https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5S4hNh3vA0 Jul 19, 2023 The Opposition coalition shaping up to counter the BJP in 2024 now has a name: INDIA. Meanwhile, the BJP is also looking to revive the NDA, an alliance that somewhat lost its sheen for the former when it managed a massive majority on its own. In Ep 1274 of Cut The Clutter, Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta analyses how the two alliances stack up against each other, while talking about some inherent contradictions and the challenges they are likely to face ahead of the big 2024 battle.

We said that the only thing that could stop Modi was the opposition coming together -  REVEALED - Can I-...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-WFvdq29h4&t=0s

THAT finally seems to be happening - and the naming of the opposition alliance as INDIA (Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance) is truly a masterstroke - it has sent the BJP into a tizzy. But getting the name right is just the start - how much can INDIA dent the NDA and what's at stake here??

As CM lobbied, Centre went against rules, courts to allow river mining in Uttarakhand https://www.reporters-collective.in/trc/as-cm-lobbied-centre-went-against-rules-courts-to-allow-river-mining-in-uttarakhand Tapasya & Aggam Walia July 17, 2023
Before the onset of monsoon, Uttarakhand CM Pushkar Singh Dhami personally lobbied with the Centre to keep mining four rivers. The Centre, ruled by his fellow partymen, fulfilled his demand in breach of critical environmental safeguards.

One of the four rivers is Gaula, which is a lifeline for the state’s populous and commercially prosperous city of Haldwani. The river is dying. During the lean season, most of its length is hardly more than a shallow and sometimes bone-dry due to deforestation, excessive mining and pollution..

Documents show the Union government repeatedly approved mining in Gaula despite the state government’s failure to comply with terms to protect the environment. ...Moreover, the permission to mine was granted overlooking the errant miner’s history of flouting multiple norms as it dug up boulders, sand, gravel and other minerals from the rivers for the past decade...

Humans living on Moon: Chandrayaan-3 to explore possibilities, says Union Minister https://www.livemint.com/news/india/humans-living-on-moon-chandrayaan-3-to-explore-possibilities-says-union-minister-dr-jitendra-singh/amp-11689402364625.html

‘Those who had landed before us could not procure those findings which were obtained by Chandrayaan,’ said Union Minister of State for Science and Technology Dr Jitendra Singh. video  https://twitter.com/i/status/1680094912577142785  Chandrayaan-3 aims to achieve what its predecessor, Chandrayaan-2, was unable to accomplish during its attempted soft landing on the lunar surface in 2019. This mission will position India as the fourth country, following the United States, China, and Russia, to successfully land a spacecraft on the moon, highlighting the nation's prowess in safe and gentle lunar landings.

Chandrayaan-3: ‘Let us keep our fingers crossed,’ says ex-ISRO scientist Nambi Narayanan. Top 10 points  15 Jul 2023,https://www.livemint.com/news/india/chandrayaan3-let-us-keep-our-fingers-crossed-says-ex-isro-scientist-nambi-narayanan-top-10-points/amp-11689387354352.html

ISRO's Chandrayaan-3 lunar mission successfully launched using GSLV Mark 3 from Sriharikota. It aims to land on the moon's surface and gather data. Once it reaches the moon's surface, Chandrayaan-3 will operate for one lunar day, equivalent to approximately 14 Earth days. This timeframe allows the mission to maximize its exploration and data-gathering activities during the limited operational period on the Moon.

Comment J Hoover:These imbeciles are making life miserable for people in India by destroying God-Given Biodiversity. But, they are exploring the possibility of humans living on the moon! Wow! There is something seriously quirky about the current Gang of Destructive Parliamentarians.
