  • Maldives on the backfoot

    Maldives on the backfoot

    Maldives on the backfoot due to strong reaction in India. Temperatures are rising between India and Maldives over the objectionable comments made by a government minister Mariam Shiuna and other leaders during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Lakshadweep.

    These statements are described as a big blow to the relations between the two countries. Moreover, it has continuously derailed since Mohammad Muizzu became the President. Many celebrities and common people in India are expressing their displeasure about this. #BycottMaldives is trending on social media platforms in India.

    Affect on the Maldives

    Meanwhile, the Maldives’ Mohammed Muizzoo government has started trying to compensate for the loss. The government first issued a statement distancing itself from the minister’s comments. After this, media reports quoting the government claimed that the people who made the comments had been suspended.

    As per the report, the government of Maldives released a statement declaring that individuals who hold government positions and have made derogatory remarks about India on social media have been suspended. The Ministry of External Affairs has released a statement regarding the incident. According to media reports, apart from Maryam Shiuna, Malsha Sharif and Mahzoom Majid have also been suspended.

    Statements of the leaders of the previous government of Maldives

    The former deputy speaker confirmed the suspension of ministers. Former Deputy Speaker and MP of Maldives Eva Abdullah, while confirming the suspension of the ministers, has said that the government should apologize to the people of India. Eva Abdullah said, “We have been dependent on India for economic relations, social relations, health, education, business, tourism etc. People are aware of this and they are thankful for it. All political parties, including former ministers and coalition partners of the current government, have condemned the derogatory remarks.”

    Before this, former President Mohammad Nasheed, former President Ibrahim Mohammad Solih and former Foreign Minister Abdullah Shahid condemned the statement and advised the current government.

    Muizzu Policy

    Before Muizzu, Ibrahim Mohammed Solih was the President of Maldives and his government had implemented the policy of ‘India First’. Whereas Muizzu had contested the elections with the slogan of ‘India Out’. After winning the victory, Muizzu’s decisions started showing increasing distance in the relations between the two countries. Muizzu is considered closer to China than India.

    Foreign affairs experts criticized

    On this matter, foreign affairs expert Robinder Sachdev said, this is condemnable. There is a section that is anti-India. India not only helps the economy through tourism. We also provide them with security. There was a coup in Maldives in 1988. India sent its troops and the coup was stopped within hours. Therefore India is for the national security of Maldives. There were occasions when the island experienced a severe shortage of water. India sent aircraft and our army with bottled water.

    As per the foreign affairs experts MP Modi’s visit to Lakshadweep was to counter changing policies in Maldives. The result is a lot of Indian tourists cancelled hotel bookings and flights to Maldives. The tourists are diverting from Maldives to Lakshadweep, Andaman and Nicobar Islands and other beautiful beaches in India

    Benefit of Aditya-L1

    The Aditya-L1 mission is an Indian solar observatory located at the Lagrangian point L1. It aims to observe and understand the Sun’s chromospheric and coronal dynamics continuously. Placing Aditya-L1 in the halo orbit around L1 has advantages over Low Earth Orbit (LEO).

    • The innovative process provides an unbeatable advantage for studying the interior of the sun. Offering a smooth and seamless change in the velocity of the spacecraft concerning the sun makes helioseismology an effortless and effective research method. Join the scientific community in exploring the mysteries of the sun with this pioneering process.
    • It is suitable for “in situ” sampling of solar wind and particles since it lies outside Earth’s magnetosphere.
    • It enables uninterrupted observation of the Sun and Earth, allowing for continuous communication to ground stations.

    Launch of Aditya-L1

    Aditya-L1 mission was launched on 2 September 2023 from Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh. Moreover, it was launched five months ago with PSLV-C57. Through this, ISRO will now get information about the mechanisms of the Sun including coronal heating, explosions on the Sun’s surface and solar winds. The budget of this mission is Rs 1,000 crore and its tenure is at least 5 years.

    ISRO had sent 7 payloads with Aditya-L1. Of these, four payloads will work for monitoring the Sun. Three payloads are for in-situ use. Furthermore, the data received through these payloads will help in understanding the mysteries of the Sun and monitoring real-time solar activity.

    PM Modi in Lakshadweep

    Special about Lakshadweep

    Lakshadweep is an island group situated on coral reefs off the coast of Kerala. The word Lakshadweep means one lakh islands. The beautiful natural scenery like beaches, blue water and white sand in Lakshadweep make it a place worth visiting. Till now, due to lack of information, it remained away from the tourists. According to statistics, 1 lakh foreign tourists came to visit the island in 2022. This figure was only 4 thousand more than the year 2021. The number of domestic tourists is still very low.

    Lakshadweep, a stunning archipelago of 36 islands scattered like emeralds in the Laccadive Sea, is a union territory of India. These islands boast pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters teeming with marine life, and vibrant coral reefs, making them a true tropical paradise.

    Rich culture:

    Lakshadweep has a distinct cultural heritage, influenced by its proximity to Kerala and Maldives. The islanders, known as Lakshadweepians, are warm and hospitable, with their unique traditions and customs.

    Limited access:

    To protect the fragile ecosystem and maintain the islands’ pristine beauty, access to Lakshadweep is restricted. Tourists require special permits and can only visit certain islands. This exclusivity adds to the allure of the destination, making it a truly hidden gem. Due to the restricted access and permit requirements, it’s essential to plan your trip well in advance. Make sure to research the necessary permits, book your accommodation and transportation, and familiarize yourself with the island’s rules and regulations before you go.

  • Traffic Jams due to Drivers strike

    Traffic Jams due to Drivers strike

    Traffic jams in many places throughout India occurred due to the driver’s strike. All India Truck and Bus Drivers Union says that their chakka jam has started against this fine and punishment. The effect of this traffic jam was visible on the highways of most of the states of the country. The most affected states are Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan and Maharashtra.

The situation on Monday was such that not only private buses and trucks were parked on the highways of most states, but the wheels of government buses also stopped during this strike.

    Reason for Driver’s Strike

    People from different driver unions including All India Truck and Bus Drivers Union have started a chakka jam in the name of ‘Steering Chodo’ from January 1 to January 3.

    Sonu Yadav of the organization says that due to changes made in criminal laws, the punishment in hit-and-run cases has also been increased.

    Moreover, lakhs of truck drivers ply on the roads every day and many accidents also occur. In such accidents, the driver often escapes with his life. Irrespective of whether the truck driver is at fault or not. Furthermore, if the driver stops there, he can be killed by the crowd present at the accidental spot.

    Under the new law, the driver who flees will face 10 years in prison and a fine of Rs 7 lakh, instead of 2 years. Due to this truck and bus drivers have protested across the country. Along with bus and truck drivers, auto drivers have also opened a front against increasing the punishment period.

    The organization has also appealed to Ola, Uber and other private vehicle drivers across the country to join this strike.

    All India Truck and Bus Drivers Union says that if the new law made for accidents during driving is not changed, then this strike will be extended indefinitely.

    The situation of the strike in protest against the new law was such that many major highways of different states of the country remained completely blocked throughout the day on Monday. Resulted in traffic jams.

  • Amrit Bharat Train: Facilitating General Passengers

    Amrit Bharat Train: Facilitating General Passengers

    Amrit Bharat Coach

    Amrit Bharat train inauguration was held today by PM Modi at Ayodhya Dham. Indian Railways has ‘introduced’ the new technology Push Pull in the train sets. The name of this train has been given as Amrit Bharat. The special thing about this is that the train is being run for the common people and workers, where there will be sleepers and general classes.

    On Saturday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi flagged off several trains from Ayodhya Dham to connect Ayodhya Dham with the entire country. This also includes two trains connecting Delhi and Ayodhya. One is Amrit Bharat Express and one is Vande Bharat Express. Vande Bharat train will reach Ayodhya from Delhi via Kanpur, Lucknow. At the same time, Amrit Bharat Express connecting Delhi to Ayodhya will go from Delhi to Darbhanga via Gorakhpur.

    Information about Amrit Bharat

    At present, two types of trains are operating in Indian Railways.

    The first category in which engines are used includes all mail and express trains, including Shatabdi and Rajdhani.

    The second category is train set. Amrit Bharat, Vande Bharat and EMU trains are in this category.

    Amrit Bharat Train is the new train of Indian Railways, which will work on the technology of Vande Bharat only. Moreover, it will only consist of general and sleeper coaches. The unique aspect of the Amrit Bharat train is that, unlike regular sleeper trains, it will not increase its speed or decrease the distance between stations. However, the train will still reach its destination faster than other trains.

    Railway Minister Informed

    Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnav has given information regarding the country’s first such special train. He said that push-pull technology is being used for the first time in the country. In other train sets including Vande Bharat, the motor is installed after the two coaches.

    But the Amrit Bharat train has two engines at the front and rear. The biggest advantage of two engines will be more pickup of the train. Also, when the train slows down, it will pick up speed again in a short time. This can be considered as a modified version of Vande Bharat. Also, a semi-permanent coupling has been installed to connect two coaches.

    The Railway Minister stated that the speed of a train is not as important as its acceleration. The train slows down at curves, intersections and signals on the way and it takes time to regain speed. But the Amrit Bharat train can pick up speed again in less time. In this way, it will reach the destination sooner than other sleeper trains.

    That’s why Amrit Bharat train is special

    • Push-pull trains will have powerful engines on both sides. The front engine will pull the train, and the rear engine will push it.
    • “When both engines are running, the train’s speed will increase. Additionally, the train will continue to accelerate at the same rate it decelerates at stations. The final speed of the train will be 130 km/h.”
    • Although the Amrit Bharat train will have two engines like the Vande Bharat, its features will be different, which will provide additional special facilities to the passengers.
    • The newly designed coaches will not only ensure a safe journey but also prevent passengers from getting shocks.
    • The train will have only sleepers and general coaches. A total of 22 coaches including 12 sleepers, 8 general, one parcel van and a brake van (guard van) will be installed in a train rake.
    • There will be no power car on this train. Power will be supplied to the coaches from both engines only. This will also protect the environment. Reversal of the engine in the station yard and on the way will provide relief from changing direction.
    • If someone wants to travel on the Amrit Bharat train, they must purchase a ticket by specifying the train name. This has been done because there is a difference in fares between trains. Amrit Bharat may also be written on the ticket.
