In a surprising turn of events, Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena praised Chief Minister Atishi, stating she is "a thousand times better" than her predecessor, Arvind Kejriwal, during a convocation at the Indira Gandhi Delhi Technical University for Women. This commendation comes after a tumultuous relationship between Saxena and AAP, marked by disputes over governance issues, particularly during Kejriwal's recent legal troubles related to a liquor policy scam. Atishi, who took office on September 21 following Kejriwal's resignation, has faced criticism from Saxena in the past, including allegations of a lack of seriousness in governance discussions. The AAP, under Atishi's leadership, is gearing up for a challenging re-election campaign amid ongoing scrutiny from the BJP and Congress regarding various governance issues, including air quality and corruption allegations against Kejriwal.

Published: Nov 23 2024, 12 ameznews.inThe Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) has deemed cloud seeding an impractical solution for addressing Delhi's severe winter pollution, citing insufficient moisture and reliance on existing clouds. This assessment follows an RTI query by activist Amit Gupta regarding a proposal from IIT Kanpur aimed at generating artificial rainfall to alleviate air quality issues. The CPCB noted that successful cloud seeding requires clouds with at least 50% moisture content, which are scarce in northern India during winter due to Western Disturbances. Delhi Environment Minister Gopal Rai has repeatedly urged the Centre to explore this method, with an estimated cost of Rs 3 crore for the proposed trials. While IIT Kanpur previously achieved successful rainfall in summer trials, environmentalists express concerns over the potential risks of using silver iodide in the process, advocating instead for pollution prevention measures and tree preservation.
Published: Nov 23 2024, 12 ameznews.inVotes will be counted today in the Maharashtra and Jharkhand assembly elections, starting at 8 am, alongside bypolls in several states. In Maharashtra, the contest pits the Mahayuti alliance, led by the BJP and including the Shiv Sena and NCP, against the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA). Exit polls suggest a Mahayuti victory, though some indicate neither alliance may achieve a clear majority, raising the prospect of 'resort politics.' This election marks the first since significant splits in the Shiv Sena and NCP, with high stakes for both parties. In Jharkhand, the ruling JMM alliance is focused on its governance record, while the NDA aims to leverage central government achievements. Key candidates include Chief Minister Hemant Soren and BJP leaders like Babulal Marandi. Additionally, votes for bypolls across various states, including Kerala and Uttar Pradesh, will also be counted today.
Published: Nov 23 2024, 12 ameznews.inThe Indian government plans to enhance its monitoring of agricultural fires by evaluating burnt areas rather than just live blazes, following concerns that farmers are timing their stubble burning to avoid detection by NASA satellites. Currently, these satellites monitor Punjab and Haryana twice daily, but experts suggest farmers have adjusted their practices to evade surveillance, resulting in lower fire counts despite persistent pollution levels. The Commission for Air Quality Management has requested India's space agency to develop a new system for assessing burnt areas, which is now in testing. Meanwhile, Delhi's air quality remains hazardous, with an Air Quality Index (AQI) reaching 494, prompting authorities to implement restrictions on vehicle movement and construction. The Ministry of Earth Sciences predicts that air quality will continue to be 'very poor' throughout the week, exacerbating health risks in a region already grappling with severe pollution challenges.

Similarly, Tamil Nadu Electricity Minister V Senthil Balaji confirmed that the state has not engaged with Adani for three years, stating that their power procurement is solely from government-owned firms.

Published: Nov 22 2024, 8 pmeznews.inBJP National General Secretary Vinod Tawde, previously a Maharashtra minister, has issued defamation notices to Congress leaders Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi, following allegations of a cash-for-votes scheme involving Rs 5 crore. Tawde claims these accusations, made just before the elections by the Bahujan Vikas Aghadi (BVA), are false and intended to damage the BJP's reputation. He insists that no such amount was recovered during investigations, asserting that the Congress leaders are aware of the fabricated nature of the claims. The BVA alleged that cash was distributed in Tawde's presence during a campaign event in Nallasopara, where police have registered two cases—one involving Tawde for campaigning during the silence period, but he is not implicated in the cash distribution case. The political controversy intensifies as the Maharashtra elections approach, with vote counting scheduled for Saturday.
