Contending that they stand firmly against the continued use of fossil fuels, the organisations said the Financial Times report provided fresh and detailed evidence of the passing off of "low-quality coal as far more expensive cleaner fuel" by the Adani Group in transactions with Tamil Nadu's Tangedco.
While the Adani Group has denied all allegations, the news report has been cited by opposition leaders, including former Congress chief Rahul Gandhi, to demand a joint parliamentary committee probe into the alleged wrongdoing.

Ranjitsinh and Others v. Union of India, saying that India’s commitment to transitioning to non-fossil-fuels was “not just a strategic energy goal but a fundamental necessity for environmental preservation.” It emphasised that the Adani case involves the “dirtiest and most polluting coal being burned, and under false representation by the corporation concerned.”

Delhi’s vendors struggle to stay on the street as lasting solutions remain on paper https://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Delhi/delhis-vendors-struggle-to-stay-on-the-street-as-lasting-solutions-remain-on-paper/article68218226.ece May 27, 2024
Political parties made a whole bunch of promises to street vendors ahead of the Lok Sabha election in the national capital on May 25. What those who have stalls on the roads really want is social security, dignity to work, and a decent livelihood to survive, finds Satvika Mahajan The Street vendors Act 2014 was meant to protect the rights of urban street vendors. All street vendors were supposed to be provided licences.. Ahead of the Lok Sabha elections leading national parties made poll promises..
The Urban Development Ministry has the power to make decisions for street vendors. There needs to be a push to decentralise decision making with training and capacity buildingin the ULBs and TVCs.

Why has Modi gov given one month extension to army chief, Gen Manoj Pande when there is NO crisis that requires him to remain in office?
It shows:
1. Gov arbitrariness in military appointment
2. Gov did the same with CDS Anil Chauhan- who was brought back from retirement, given higher rank of 4 star & made CDS
These actions shows dangerous
preference given to senior officers who are ideologically aligned with the ruling political party. Pande ji has demonstrated this by taking military thinking to medieval statecraft- instead of focusing it on modern warfare.
If Modi gov gets another term in office, we shall have military leadership with no intellectual desire to learn what it should.
The art of generalship will be lost for ever!
