New Delhi, November 26 (IANS). Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Wednesday made a major announcement regarding the redevelopment of slums in the national capital Delhi. He said that the decades old slums in Delhi will now see a new direction of development and the government will provide permanent houses to every family living in the slum. Chief Minister Rekha Gupta said that slums have been present in different parts of Delhi for the past few decades. Many settlements are more than 30 to 40 years old. There are slums in many places in Delhi. Some are 30 years old and some are 40 years or older. Many people came from villages to Delhi in search of work and settled here. Today, the second generation has been born in their homes, who have become full citizens of Delhi. The Chief Minister said that these settlements are being established under different names from time to time. Some were called Sanjay Colony and some as Indira Colony. The work of naming the slums continued, but the work of their development was not done. These people have been living for years in the hope of better facilities and permanent houses.” Rekha Gupta reiterated the government’s intention and said that permanent houses would be provided in every slum of Delhi in a phased manner in the coming time. She said, “Every slum family of Delhi will get a permanent house. This is my promise as the Chief Minister of Delhi. To provide a strong roof over the heads of the poor is our priority.” He attacked the previous governments and said that the Congress government had also promised to provide houses to the slum dwellers but it did not fulfill its promises. Rekha Gupta said, “The Congress made the promise. He also built houses, but did not give them to even a single slum dweller. Those houses have gradually become dilapidated but they have not been handed over to the needy poor.” The Chief Minister said that the situation will now change and his government is fast implementing policies to provide a dignified life to the people living in slums. He said that survey work has started in many areas and redevelopment plans will be implemented comprehensively in the coming months.

Pakistan is angry after it hoisted the religious flag over the Ram temple in Ayodhya. Pakistan’s foreign ministry, which maintains silence on the exploitation, rape and killing of minorities in its own country, calls it a threat to India’s minorities and Muslim cultural heritage. As usual, Pakistan’s foreign ministry once again lied and said it reflected a larger pattern of oppression of religious minorities in India and deliberate attempts to destroy Muslim cultural and religious heritage under the influence of Hindutva ideology. Another lie from Pakistan: Pakistan’s foreign ministry said that Pakistan has taken the construction of Ram Temple in Ayodhya and the hoisting of the flag on Babri Masjid with concern and seriousness. Pakistan’s foreign office ignored the ruling of the Indian Supreme Court, saying that the Babri Masjid is a centuries-old, historic place of worship. After this, Pakistan mentioned the events of December 6, 1992. Pakistan has been spreading absurd propaganda claiming that the Indian system discriminates against minorities. In Pakistan, where Hindu historical and mythological heritage has been destroyed, the government has said that efforts are being made to destroy Muslim heritage in India under the guise of Hindutva ideology. To give you an idea of ​​the fate of Hindu temples, Hindu religious heritage sites in Pakistan such as the Sharda Peeth Temple, the 150-year-old Jagannath Temple in Karachi and the 1930s Mohan Temple in Rawalpindi are on the verge of destruction. They are under the control of the Pakistani government and its people. Pakistan, which remains silent on all these issues, claims that many mosques in India are under threat and being demolished. The UN has also been dragged into this matter. Pakistan has shamelessly appealed to the international community to address the alleged rise in Islamophobia, hate speech and hate-based attacks in India. Pakistan appealed to the UN and other organizations to play their role to save Islamic heritage in India and actively cooperate to protect the religious and cultural heritage of all minorities.

Geneva, November 26 (IANS). The Joint United Nations Program on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) made shocking revelations in its recent report. UNAIDS has warned in its new report that the global approach to combating HIV has suffered the biggest setback in decades. This report calls for reliance on solidarity, courage, investment and innovation to achieve the goal of ending the AIDS epidemic. The report is titled “Overcoming Disruption, Transforming the AIDS Response”. In addition to the lack of international funding for HIV prevention efforts, the report also highlighted the serious consequences of a lack of global solidarity. The report said that a sudden cut in international HIV support in 2025 would further widen the existing funding gap. In this, an estimate from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development was quoted. According to this, external health aid is expected to decrease by 30-40 percent in 2025 compared to 2023. If this happens, it will cause immediate and rapid disruption in health care delivery in low- and middle-income countries. According to the report, HIV prevention services were the most affected. Major cuts in the supply of HIV prevention drugs and a sharp decline in voluntary medical male circumcision have widened the protection gap for millions of people. The programs carried out to prevent the spread of HIV infection among young women have also been significantly affected. According to Xinhua News Agency, the report warned that in the next Global AIDS Strategy a target was set to stop it by 2030. However, failure to meet this target could lead to 3.3 million new HIV infections between 2025 and 2030. According to UNAIDS, 40.8 million people worldwide are infected with HIV. There are 1.3 million new cases in 2024 and 9.2 million people are still not receiving treatment. Ahead of World AIDS Day on December 1, UNAIDS called on world leaders to show solidarity and fulfill their pledge to work together to end AIDS. UNAIDS also called for maintaining funding for the HIV response, investing in innovation, upholding human rights and strengthening communities. Winnie Byanyima, Executive Director of UNAIDS, said: “It is time for us to choose. We can allow these setbacks to undo decades of hard work, or we can unite behind a common vision to end AIDS. The lives of millions of people depend on the choices we make today.” –IANS KK/DSC Share this story Tags

New Delhi, December 1 (IANS). Imagine, on a cold night, poison is suddenly dissolved in the air, forcing countless people to die in agony. That dark night of December 2, 1984 was something like that in Bhopal, the capital of Madhya Pradesh. Methyl isocyanate gas leaked from a Union Carbide factory, which exploded due to the pressure created by contact with water in Tank 610. The leak of pesticide-making gas methyl isocyanate resulted in more than 2 thousand deaths and more than 50 thousand injured and physically disabled people. Even today, after 41 years, there are wounds on the streets of Bhopal that can hardly ever heal. To learn a lesson about this painful reminder, India celebrates National Pollution Control Day on December 2 every year. Steps such as the Welfare Commissioner’s Office established in 1985 and the Bhopal Gas Leakage Act sought to provide justice to the victims. According to the information found on the official website of the Department of Chemicals and Petrochemicals of Madhya Pradesh, in February 1989, the American company Union Carbide Corporation paid a compensation of US $ 470 million (about Rs 3,000 crore) on the orders of the Supreme Court. This amount was to provide justice to the victims. But the real division began in November 1992. Initially, it was called “original compensation”, which was given to the injured, families of the dead and sick. A total of 5,74,394 claims were submitted. Till July 31, 2024, 5,73,959 claims have been sanctioned and a total of Rs 1,549.33 crore has been distributed. This means almost every claim received an average of Rs 27,000. But the question is, can money bring back lives? This day we warn that pollution is not only the enemy of air and water, but also the enemy of civilization. Today, glaciers are melting, rivers are drying up, Delhi’s pollution has become the enemy of breathing. In this situation, the importance of National Pollution Control Day increases even more. Considering the Bhopal tragedy as the world’s biggest industrial pollution disaster, the day is a platform to spread awareness. Describing environmental protection as essential for man, nature and society, it emphasizes factors of pollution such as factory emissions, vehicle smoke, plastic waste and control measures such as plantation, recycling, clean energy. –IANS MT/ABM

In the video she talks about her experience. She can be heard saying: “You can have a great time in India until you’re penniless. Look at this place. That’s all. I just got a full body massage for four US dollars. Oh my god, there’s a Birkenstocks store, and H&M, yes, Adidas, and Bath & Body Works. If you’re thinking, India just isn’t full of dirty cities, and you’re just not full of dirty cities in the right place.” Is.” The video was shared on Instagram with the handle @sierraliliann. The caption on her clip reads, “Why do people only show the worst parts of India?” Along with the video, Sierra posted a caption questioning why social media rarely shows the diverse and modern scenes of India.

Where are the videos of Kerala backwaters? From the modern tech hubs like Bengaluru? Of the ancient temples located in the Himalayas in Uttarakhand? India has some pretty rough places, it’s true.” Sierra Lillian writes a fitting response to trolls: “Travelers should highlight the beauty of the country, not just promote negative images. As travelers, we need to show the parts of this country that are truly beautiful, not just the bad parts. I’m not saying the bad parts can’t be shared, but those parts shouldn’t be taken as a representation of the whole country.” India has given me more happiness than America, so I feel sad when people only talk about the bad parts. There’s a lot more to this beautiful country than these viral videos show the world. What do you think of this current online trend where people only show the bad parts of India? “It’s great to see a traveler show the India he knows but has rarely filmed. “Foreigners are always the ones who emphasize our good points, while we are busy highlighting our own bad points.
