Posted [relativedate] at [relativetime time_format=”H:i”]
With the pollution levels reaching an all-time high in New Delhi, the AAP government introduced the odd-even scheme. But now it looks like the Delhi government is forced to go back on the Odd-Even scheme, thanks to the pathetic public transport system.
The Delhi High Court mandated in the past that, New Delhi should be equipped with 11,000 buses against the current 5,425 buses. With two-wheelers also included in the Odd-Even scheme, the public transport system is not able to handle the extra 3.3 million two-wheeler riders.
‘The Delhi government spends thousands of crores on Metro projects, while it is least bothered about the general bus transport in the city. It costs roughly 45 lakhs for a standard bus, while it costs 450 Crores for 1 kilometer of Metro Line,’ said Shreya Gadepalli, South Asia director of ITDP – Institute for Transport and Development Policy.
‘The DTC might cease its operating by 2025, as 99% of its bus fleet will be over the 12-year operational limit of 7.5 lakh kilometers, whichever is later’said an official.
A bench headed by the Justice Swatanter (NGT Chairperson) passed remarks on the Delhi government for the lack of proper maintenance of the DTC buses. ‘Your buses make a lot of noise on the roads. Most parts of your buses either hang in the air or broken. They create a nuisance for everyone on the road,’ stated the bench.
These graves were discovered as a part of Government operation which is advanced into the lands once dominated by the militant group. The Iraqi forces managed to drive away the militant group from Hawija – located 240 km from Bagdad, during its military operation in October.
These mass graves came to light after the locals informed the Iraqi military group. An eyewitness said, ‘during the three years of IS control, the prisoners are often taken in the cars. IS militants used to shoot them and then throw them from the moving car.’
Realizing this, Pawan Kalyan has taken precautions to ensure that people don’t treat his party on the basis of caste. Recently, a Kaapu leader who had his time in TDP and YSRCP has approached Pawan Kalyan stating that he is enthusiastic to join the party. But to his surprise, Pawan rejected that leader from joining his party.
Later in a meeting with his party followers and members, it was heard that Pawan said, ‘Let us not permit any former leaders from TDP, YSRCP or Congress. We have to ensure that the party isn’t tagged with any specific caste. I am against ‘Caste’ based politics, not against the caste.’
Recently, after visiting Lord Venkateswara in Tirumala, Pastor David Karunakar raised the same issue in the public domain. The pastor said, ‘While the Christian community is praying for Jagan to become the next CM, by visiting Hindu temples he is praying to Idols. Idol worship is strictly against Christianity.’ Leaving aside the reservations held by Pastor David, it is clear that Christian community is upset about Jagan.
The Pakistan’s government has decided to arrange a meeting of Commander Kulbhushan Jadhav with his wife, in Pakistan, a two – paras statement from the ministry said.

It is known that the Air Quality Index reaching 481 the government agencies termed it as ‘severe’ level and instructed schools to give a holiday for primary school students. The current pollution in Delhi is similar to a person smoking 50 cigarettes per day.

Meanwhile, the Komati Reddy brothers who have been the talk of the town from the last couple of months are nowhere to be seen. The Komati Reddy brothers even lobbied in Delhi to remove Uttam Kumar Reddy as Telangana Congress Chief. But the brothers have miserably failed.
Their planned ‘Paadhayathra’ mission did not get a positive response from the high command and as well as the Telangana Congress leaders. And Uttam Kumar Reddy suddenly seems to be the strongest leader in Telangana Congress with the new in-comer Revanth Reddy in the party, and Senior Leader Janareddy restricting himself as ‘Advani’ in the party.
Many analysts feel that the silence of the Komati Reddy brother is like a warning before a cyclone, and one shouldn’t underestimate the Reddy brothers’ abilities.
