    Devotees moving forward in Kedarnath despite the challenge of the weather

    Uttarakhand | Due to heavy rains in Kedarnath Dham, the enthusiasm of Kedar devotees is being seen even in the midst of difficult conditions. The administration in the Dham is repeatedly postponing the yatra in view of the safety of the devotees. But amidst the challenge of the weather and the restrictions of the administration, Baba’s devotees are moving forward fearlessly.
    According to the alert of the Meteorological Department of rain in Uttarakhand till June 26, it is raining continuously. The process of rain is continuing in Kedarnath Dham also since Sunday. Due to heavy rains, the gads and gaderes around Kedarnath Dham are in spate. Water is coming with full speed at many places on the Kedarnath pedestrian route. In front of Gaurikund, about three kilometers on the pedestrian path, the rain drain came in spate, seeing which the administration stopped the walk ahead of Gaurikund.
    But the pilgrims who had already proceeded on the yatra route took their places in the first safe places. And as soon as things got a little better, they kept moving forward. Even though the situation arising due to rain in Kedarnath is looking scary and the administration is taking all precautions. But it is clearly visible in the pictures from Kedarnath that how the devotees are moving on the yatra route even in the midst of bad weather.
    Defying all apprehensions, devotees of Baba Kedar are going to visit Kedarnath Dham. So far, about 11 lakh devotees have visited Kedarnath Dham. Although the monsoon has started and the weather has changed, but still devotees are thronging to have darshan of Baba Kedar, which shows that faith is overpowering the challenge of nature.

  • Electricity prices increased in Delhi, Kejriwal government said that the public will not be burdened

    Electricity prices increased in Delhi, Kejriwal government said that the public will not be burdened

    Delhi | Electricity is going to be expensive in the capital Delhi. Because DERC i.e. Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission has accepted the demand of Power Discoms, BYPL (BSES Yamuna) and BRPL (BSES Rajdhani) in which they allowed to increase the rates. After this decision, electricity rates in BSES areas will become costlier by 10 per cent.

    However, it has been said by the Delhi government that this will not directly affect the consumers of Delhi. After the consumption of electricity above 200 units, the increased charge will have to be paid. Energy Minister Atishi in the Delhi government told that the people of Delhi who get zero electricity bill, will continue to get zero electricity bill. Whether this surcharge increases or decreases.

    Atishi took the central government half-handed over the rising electricity prices. He said that today the cost of electricity is increasing because due to the mismanagement of the central government, the cost of coal has become costlier in the country today. Today, for the first time in the history of 75 years of India, there has been an artificial shortage of coal, due to its shortage, the price of coal is increasing. The central government has now forced that if anyone buys coal now, he will have to use 10 percent imported coal. He said that today if the price of electricity is increasing even in a city like Delhi, then it is increasing only because of the central government.

    He told that the cost of imported coal is about 10 times more than that of coal in India. If you use domestic coal, it costs around Rs 2000 a ton. The imported coal that the power companies have to use is coming at Rs 25,000 a ton. Free electricity bills up to 200 units will not matter to them. Those whose bills come without subsidy, it will not make any difference, but a surcharge of eight percent will increase on their bills. Atishi told that if a bill of 100 rupees is coming, then it will come for 108 rupees.

  • In Sikkim, the move towards organic is faltering. here’s why

    In Sikkim, the move towards organic is faltering. here’s why

    East Sikkim/Soreng | District: On a bitterly cold day in January 2016, Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared Sikkim as India’s first organic farming state.

    “Sikkim is an example in the sense that when the idea of organic farming was raised here in 2003, it was not that there could be no opposition… Despite this, I salute the lakhs of farmers in Sikkim who Gave.” “Stay on your path, don’t give up your will…and today the whole world will be clapping for Sikkim,” Modi said at the historic plenary session of the National Conference on Sustainable Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare in Gangtok. There are three major ethnic groups in Sikkim: Lepcha, Bhutia and Nepali. From 1642, Sikkim was ruled by the Chogyal (‘Dharma Raja’) – emperors of the Namgyal dynasty, who owned all the land in the state, and leased it to Bhutia and Lepcha nobles. The British, who made Sikkim a protectorate in 1861, encouraged Nepalese to migrate to the state for labour.

    Researcher Anjan Chakraborty writes in his paper, Migration and Marginalization in the ‘Himalayan Kingdom’, “The migration of Nepalis to Sikkim brought about a technological change in agricultural practices in Sikkim, as neither the Bhutias nor the Lepchas had any knowledge of sustainable farming ” Sikkim. The elite used to lease land to Nepali immigrants for cultivation.

    Researcher Debasish Das, in his 1994 book Sikkim: Society, Polity, Economy, Environment, writes about the “unequal distribution of land ownership” in the state. According to the ‘State Focus Papers 2023-24’ published by the National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development, small and marginal farmers with an average land holding of 0.62 hectares (1.532 acres) account for 79% of the total land holdings.

    It is easier to convert to organic in a “small state with small holdings” than in a larger state, Kunga Samdup, joint director of the Sikkim government’s agriculture department, told IndiaSpend.

    In 2002-03, the state used 9.9 kg of nitrogenous and phosphatic (NPK) fertilizers per hectare of crop area, before former Chief Minister Pawan Chamling announced the government’s policy to convert the state to “fully organic”. It was the lowest in the country after Nagaland and Arunachal Pradesh. Compare this with states like Punjab, which used 172 kg of fertilizer per hectare in 2002-03, and Haryana, which used 150.4 kg of fertilizer per hectare.
