Over 7 lakh people rendered homeless in last two years: Report https://maktoobmedia.com/india/over-7-lakh-people-rendered-homeless-in-last-two-years-report/ 

In the last two years (1 January 2022 to 31 December 2023), over 1.5 lakh houses were demolished by state authorities in India—at the central, state, and local levels—thereby, resulting in the forceful eviction of over 7.4 lakh people from their homes, Housing and Land Rights Network (HLRN) claimed in a new report released a new report.

Demolishing Muslim Properties in India https://inkstickmedia.com/demolishing-muslim-properties-in-india/ The demolitions by the BJP government are framed as “retribution” and “punishment” for Muslims for participating in anti-government protests — a gross violation of human rights, and a clear example of extrajudicial punishment even if the accusations are true. Most observers, however, see the violence as purely ethnically motivated. Now the BJP party has turned to targetted demolitions

In June 2022, Three United Nations Special Rapporteurs for Housing, Minority Issues and Freedom of Religion wrote a joint letter to the Indian government strongly criticizing and protesting arbitrary housing and property demolitions ordered by local governments to punish Muslim minorities. The letter claims the Indian government has carried out “collective punishment” against the minority Muslim community.

The court wondered whether the DDA officials had told him that top court’s permission was required for cutting off trees. 

Justice Abhay S Oka wondered whether the DDA officials had told him that top court’s permission was required for cutting off trees. It was hearing suo motu contempt proceedings against the vice chairman of the DDA regarding the felling of 1,100 trees in the ridge forest for a road widening project.

“First day, everybody should have come to the court and said there was a mistake by us. But cover up goes on. After four or five orders, the truth comes out in the form of a DDA officer’s affidavit. All have committed the mistake including the Lieutenant Governor. The court said that it realised the L-G’s role when Attorney General R Venkataramani appeared independently, indicating sufficient involvement.

Each year, the United Nations chooses a theme for World Population Day to address specific population issues. The theme for 2024 is “Empowering Youth for a Sustainable Future“. This theme emphasizes the critical role young people play in achieving sustainable development goals. It underscores the need for providing education, healthcare, and employment opportunities to the youth to ensure they can contribute positively to society and the global economy. https://txhospitals.in/world-population-day-2024/

India’s population to peak in early 2060s at 1.7 billion before sliding: UN https://www.financialexpress.com/india-news/indias-population-to-peak-in-early-2060s-at-1-7-billion-before-sliding-un/3552207/July 13, 2024

According to The World Population Prospects 2024 report, India’s population in 2024 is projected at 1.45 billion and this will peak to 1.69 billion in 2054. After this, India’s population is projected to decline to 1.5 billion by the end of the century in 2100, but the country will still remain the most populous nation on Earth.

The report finds that investing in the education of young people, especially girls, and increasing the ages of marriage and first childbearing in countries where these have an early onset will have positive outcomes for women’s health, educational attainment and labour force participation. These efforts will also contribute to slowing population growth and reducing the scale of the investments required to achieve sustainable development while ensuring that no one is left behind, UN report noted.

The temperature conditions in the southern half of the country had a much stronger climate change influence . The fingerprint of climate change is especially apparent along both coasts. In coastal areas, 37°C is commonly used as a threshold for dangerous heat. This temperature occurs throughout most of the country, including along the eastern coast. Thirty-six out of 51 major cities had three or more days above 37 degrees Celsius since the start of the election season (April 19-April 30), and 18 cities had more than three days above 40 degrees Celsius

Richard Mahapatra https://www.downtoearth.org.in/climate-change/will-india-be-uninhabitable-by-2035 18 Jul 2024 A critical new report by the UN has revealed some staggering statistics and forecasts about forced displacement and climate change . one such study: “Scientists projected that over the coming 50 years, up to three billion people could be living well outside climate conditions (and particularly temperature) that have served humanity over the past 6,000 years, and worse, that by 2070, absent climate mitigation or migration, certain regions—Northern South America, central Africa, India and northern Australia—could simply become too hot to allow human life.” Future of the human climate niche https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.1910114117 In the current climate emergency, reports are already showing evidence of internal migration caused by extreme climatic events. Whether these are precursors to a planetary movement of humans will only be established much later.
