जिलाधिकारी ने कहा कि कॉमर्शियल एलपीजी के लिए मानक संचालन प्रक्रिया निर्धारित की गयी है. इसके तहत आवश्यक दस्तावेज प्राप्त करने और उनका परीक्षण करने के बाद सिलेंडर आवंटन के लिए अस्थायी गैस कनेक्शन की सिफारिश की जाएगी। नैनीताल के अन्तर्गत तहसील स्तर पर अधिकारी नामित किये गये हैं। नामित अधिकारियों को निर्देश दिया गया है कि वे आवेदक से दस्तावेज प्राप्त कर उनकी जांच करें। जांच के बाद वे अस्थायी गैस कनेक्शन के लिए अनुशंसा करेंगे और संबंधित गैस एजेंसी को सिलेंडर उपलब्ध कराने का निर्देश देंगे. एलपीजी की सुचारू आपूर्ति और प्रबंधन सुनिश्चित करने के लिए यह कदम उठाया गया है।

नैनीताल में व्यवस्थित ढंग से वितरित किये गये गैस सिलेण्डर

मंगलवार को नैनीताल शहर के विभिन्न क्षेत्रों में क्रमबद्ध तरीके से गैस सिलेंडरों का वितरण किया गया। पर्वत गैस एजेंसी के अनुसार तल्लीताल डांठ, पुलिस लाइन क्षेत्र में 45-45, एटीआई क्षेत्र में 45, डीएसबी क्षेत्र में 35 और नारायण नगर में 25 सिलेंडर बांटे गए। एजेंसी प्रबंधक अंकिता पांडे ने बताया कि उपभोक्ताओं को किसी प्रकार की परेशानी न हो इसके लिए वितरण प्रक्रिया व्यवस्थित की गई है। पहले दिन रोस्टर के अनुसार सूची तैयार कर प्रसारित की जा रही है। उन्होंने लोगों से अनावश्यक रूप से गैस की अतिरिक्त बुकिंग न कराने की अपील की।

खैरना में सिलेंडर खरीदने के लिए उमड़ी भीड़ खैरना

मंगलवार को जैसे ही गैस वाहन खैरना-गरमपानी बाजार में पहुंचा तो लोगों की भारी भीड़ जमा हो गई। लोगों में सिलेंडर लेने की होड़ के कारण बाजार क्षेत्र में जाम की स्थिति उत्पन्न हो गयी. भीड़ इतनी बढ़ गई कि कई लोग सिलेंडर लेने के लिए गैस वाहन पर चढ़ गए। खैरना पुलिस ने सिलेंडरों का वितरण कराया। ओटीपी न मिलने से कई लोगों को परेशानी का सामना करना पड़ा। कई लोगों को सिलेंडर खत्म होने पर खाली हाथ लौटना पड़ा। बेतालघाट गैस एजेंसी के प्रबंधक मोहन चंद्र कांडपाल ने बताया कि 216 गैस सिलेंडर बाजार में भेजे गए थे। कुछ समय बाद दोबारा वाहन भेजकर शेष उपभोक्ताओं को गैस वितरित कराई जाएगी।

For decades, the US and its allies spent billions of dollars in cyber attacks, assassinations of scientists, economy-destroying sanctions and bruising diplomacy to stop Iran’s nuclear ambitions.Yet after a brutal month-long war with joint US-Israeli forces, Tehran may be getting something more deadly than any nuclear bomb from the president. donald trump: Dominance over the Strait of Hormuz.On Wednesday, the US and Iran reached a conditional two-week ceasefire, reopening a key chokepoint for Gulf oil and exports. Trump announced that he would “suspend bombings and attacks on Iran” if Tehran cleared shipping lanes through Hormuz.In a Truth Social post, he justified the stoppage because US forces had “already met and exceeded all military objectives”.It follows his earlier flamboyant threats to wipe out Iran “overnight”, warning that “the entire civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back” – threats that drew global condemnation from UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to Pope Leo XIV.How Iran choked the Strait of HormuzBefore the Iran–US war, about 138 ships passed through the Strait of Hormuz, carrying one-fifth of global oil and vital fertilizers for crops around the world.But as the conflict began, Iranian threats and attacks halted almost all traffic through the narrow chokepoint. Traffic fell below 100 vessels in March.At the beginning of the blockade, Trump tried to resolve it through diplomatic efforts and backchannel talks. After this strategy failed, he deployed a thousand more troops to the Middle East and turned his attention to possible US Navy escort for oil tankers.Frustration began to grow on him, evidenced by his profanity-laden Truth Social post on Easter Sunday:“Tuesday will be Power Plant Day and Bridge Day in Iran, all at the same time. Nothing like this will happen!!! Open the f****** straight, you crazy********, or you’ll live in Hell – just watch! Praise be to Allah. President Donald J. Trump,” he said.Yet Iran maintained an edge on this vital artery, taking advantage of cheap drones, sea mines, and its geography for asymmetric warfare.‘Fee for safe passage’According to reports, Iran is now attempting to formalize its control over the strait as part of a broader geopolitical strategy after several weeks of conflict.As part of its proposals for a potential long-term peace deal, Tehran wants authorities to charge transit fees for ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz. According to officials, these charges will not be fixed but may vary depending on the type of ship, the nature of its cargo and the prevailing conditions.Iran is also working on a framework that could require ships to obtain permits or licenses before being allowed to pass in coordination with regional mechanisms, which could also include Oman, Reuters reports.Despite the ceasefire, shipping activity in the Strait of Hormuz remains limited following the declaration. Analysts have warned that ships and insurers are unlikely to resume normal traffic until they receive sustained safety signals, CNN reports.“The ceasefire is a necessary first step, but it does not mean that commercial shipping through international traffic routes in the strait will immediately return to normal,” said Charlie Brown, senior advisor for Dark Fleet Tracking and a former US Navy officer.Shipowners are awaiting guidance from naval security channels, flag states and maritime war-risk insurers before sending the ships back to the strait. Since the beginning of the conflict, Iran has attacked at least 19 ships near the strait, disrupting supplies of crude oil to global markets.Iran’s foreign minister has said that “safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz will be possible through coordination with Iran’s armed forces.”Joint protocol with OmanIran’s deputy foreign minister, Kazem Gharibabadi, said last week that Tehran was drafting a protocol with Oman that would require ships to obtain permits and licenses to pass through the strait, adding that the move was aimed at facilitating rather than restricting transit.Iran claimed that the money collected from the ships would be used for post-war reconstruction, as the conflict has caused extensive damage to the country’s defense, administrative and civilian infrastructure.At the time, Oman said it had held talks with Iran on options to ensure smooth transit, but did not say whether an agreement had been reached.The fee will vary depending on the type of ship, its cargo and other unspecified existing conditions, the official said, without elaborating.Iran in its 10-point ceasefire proposal had included a provision to allow both Tehran and Muscat to levy transit fees on ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz.However, Oman rejected Iran’s demand and said, “No toll can be imposed for the Hormuz crossing.”According to Oman’s transport minister, the Sultanate has signed agreements guaranteeing that no fees will be imposed on ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz. The minister stressed Oman’s commitment to ensuring free and safe navigation at the strategic chokepoint.The 34-km stretch of water between Iran and Oman is considered an international waterway, on which no country has imposed tolls in the past. The narrow estuary of the Persian Gulf facilitates about one-fifth of global oil trade.Joint venture with America?Meanwhile, Trump said he was planning a “joint venture” with Iran to install tolls in the Strait of Hormuz after Washington and Tehran agreed to a two-week ceasefire deal.ABC News reporter Jonathan Karl asked Trump if he approved of Iran charging tolls on ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz, to which the Republican leader responded, “We’re thinking about doing it as a joint venture. This is a way to protect it – while also protecting it from many other people.”“It’s a beautiful thing,” Trump said.Therefore, the situation is not just one of a fragile ceasefire, but of a change of control at one of the world’s most important maritime chokepoints. What began as an effort to curb Iran’s nuclear ambitions has strengthened Tehran’s hand on the world’s locus of control.

उत्तर प्रदेश के अमेठी जिले में स्वास्थ्य विभाग की कार्यशैली एक बार फिर विवादों में आ गई है. इस बार मामला बेहद संवेदनशील है, जहां दोनों पैरों से दिव्यांग दंपत्ति की मदद करने के बजाय उनके खिलाफ केस दर्ज करने की तैयारी की जा रही है. यह घटना तब सामने आई जब दंपति ने अस्पतालों में सुविधाओं की कमी को लेकर सोशल मीडिया पर एक वीडियो साझा किया। अब इस कार्रवाई को लेकर आम जनता और सामाजिक कार्यकर्ताओं में नाराजगी देखी जा रही है.

वीडियो के माध्यम से समस्या उठाई गई
जानकारी के मुताबिक, दोनों पैरों से दिव्यांग पति-पत्नी ने अस्पताल में मिलने वाली सुविधाओं की कमी दिखाते हुए एक वीडियो बनाया था. इस वीडियो में उन्होंने बताया कि अस्पतालों में व्हीलचेयर और अटेंडेंट जैसी जरूरी सुविधाएं उपलब्ध नहीं हैं. यह वीडियो 7 मिनट से ज्यादा लंबा बताया जा रहा है, जिसमें उनकी परेशानी साफ नजर आ रही है.

स्वास्थ्य विभाग ने दर्ज कराई शिकायत
स्वास्थ्य विभाग ने इस वीडियो का संज्ञान लेते हुए मदद करने के बजाय इसे अनुचित माना. विभाग की ओर से दिव्यांग व्यक्ति के खिलाफ मुकदमा दर्ज करने के लिए जगदीशपुर कोतवाली में तहरीर दी गई है। शिकायत में कहा गया है कि वीडियो में स्थिति दिखाई गई है और सवाल उठाया गया है कि जब पति-पत्नी दोनों चलने में असमर्थ हैं तो स्ट्रेचर तक कैसे पहुंचे.

व्हीलचेयर की मांग को मुद्दा घोषित किया गया
दिव्यांग दंपत्ति का कहना है कि उन्होंने वीडियो के जरिए व्हीलचेयर की मांग उठाई थी, क्योंकि उनके लिए चल पाना संभव नहीं है. उन्होंने यह भी बताया कि यह वीडियो किसी छुपे तरीके से नहीं बनाया गया था, बल्कि खुलेआम अपनी समस्या दिखाने के लिए बनाया गया था. इसके बावजूद इस दौरान अस्पताल के किसी भी कर्मचारी ने उनकी मदद नहीं की.

लोगों में नाराजगी और सवाल
इस पूरे मामले के सामने आने के बाद स्थानीय लोगों और सामाजिक कार्यकर्ताओं में आक्रोश है. लोगों का कहना है कि स्वास्थ्य विभाग को दिव्यांगों की मदद करनी चाहिए थी, लेकिन इसके उलट उन पर कार्रवाई करना असंवेदनशीलता को दर्शाता है. यह कदम विभाग की कार्यप्रणाली पर सवाल खड़े कर रहा है.

प्रशासन मौन, आगे की कार्रवाई पर नजर
फिलहाल इस मामले में प्रशासन की ओर से कोई आधिकारिक बयान नहीं आया है. अब यह देखना अहम होगा कि पुलिस इस मामले में क्या कार्रवाई करती है और दिव्यांग जोड़े को न्याय मिल पाता है या नहीं.

In late January 1977, New York State neurobiological science was challenged by meteorology with an unusual blizzard or ground blizzard, which used sustained winds of hurricane speed (69 mph) to move ice from Lake Erie to Buffalo. Generally, when it snows, the snow deposited on the ground is carried by clouds from the sky. In this case, the wind helped produce a maximum snowfall of 45 feet or more in Buffalo and produce whiteouts or zero visibility in Buffalo. This event demonstrated that it was possible for a blizzard to occur without adding new snowflakes to the snow accumulation on the ground because there was already a significant amount of snow present. By demonstrating that snowfall can occur as a result of using powerful winds to transport previously fallen or formed ice particles, this event further demonstrated that weathering is not necessarily dependent on new material, but rather solely on moving materials already present in the environment.

How New York State Disappeared Under the Snow That Never Fell from the Clouds

The winter storm of 1977 in Buffalo, New York, resulted from an unusual type of weather phenomenon known as a ‘ground blizzard’; A weather system in which strong winds are responsible for the transport of snow that is already on the ground, rather than atmospheric precipitation.Even before January 28, a record amount of snow had fallen in Buffalo. Because Lake Erie was frozen and covered with thick, loose powder, when an Arctic cold front arrived, high-speed winds of over 75 mph blew through the lake, resulting in large amounts of snow being blown into the city of Buffalo, creating ice.The storm produced snowfall that was not caused by precipitation, as the weather was mostly clear and no precipitation was falling. Otherwise, large amounts of blowing snow may be composed only of recycled ice crystals, therefore, producing a weather phenomenon that cannot be detected by conventional weather satellite precipitation sensors.

Why didn’t the frozen surface stop the storm?

While most lake-effect blizzards occur when there is open water and conditions allow sufficient moisture in the form of clouds, the 1977 event occurred when the entire lake surface was covered with ice. According to NOAA, the ice remaining on the lake was very light and dry as a result of the snowpack inherited from last month’s long cold snap. Meteorological wind speeds, which were different from normal, and extremely low temperatures created the conditions necessary to produce zero visibility conditions for extended periods. The situation left 17,000 people trapped inside their cars and their workplaces throughout Western New York and Southern Ontario.

How the Army Corps Reopened Buffalo

The wind not only blew the snow away, it also compressed the snow into a hard, concrete-like substance. The high wind speed also compacted individual ice crystals, causing snow to rise more than 30 feet high, so was very heavy and not able to be removed with normal plowing equipment. chairman jimmy carter Issued its first federal declaration of ’emergency’ as a result of the blizzard and initiated ‘Operation Snow Go’. Heavy industrial loaders and trenching machines were dispatched by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the National Guard to build roads through the snow.

मौसम विज्ञान केंद्र की ओर से आज जारी पूर्वानुमान के मुताबिक 8 अप्रैल को देहरादून समेत टिहरी, पौडी, नैनीताल, चंपावत और उधम सिंह नगर जिलों के कुछ हिस्सों में बिजली गिरने के साथ ओलावृष्टि और 50 किलोमीटर प्रति घंटे की रफ्तार से तेज आंधी का ऑरेंज अलर्ट जारी किया गया है. अन्य जिलों में भी बिजली गिरने और तेज हवाओं का येलो अलर्ट जारी किया गया है. वहीं, तीन हजार मीटर से अधिक ऊंचाई वाले इलाकों में बर्फबारी की भी संभावना है.

मंगलवार को रुक-रुक कर हुई बारिश और तेज ठंडी हवाओं के कारण अधिकतम तापमान छह डिग्री सेल्सियस गिर गया. बादल छाने से दिन में कई बार अंधेरा हो गया। वहीं, आमतौर पर अप्रैल के पहले हफ्ते में जहां गर्मी बढ़ने लगती है, वहीं इस बार ठंड का अहसास होने लगा है।

राजधानी में पूरे दिन आसमान में बादल छाये रहे और बीच-बीच में हल्की से मध्यम बारिश होती रही. ठंडी हवाओं के कारण मौसम सुहावना हो गया और लोगों को गर्मी से राहत मिली। सुबह और शाम को ठंड अधिक महसूस की गई, जिसके कारण कई लोगों ने हल्के गर्म कपड़े पहनना शुरू कर दिया। आंकड़ों पर नजर डालें तो दून में दिन का अधिकतम तापमान सामान्य से छह डिग्री कम 25.4 डिग्री दर्ज किया गया। वहीं रात का न्यूनतम तापमान भी सामान्य से दो डिग्री कम 14.5 डिग्री रहा. इससे पहले पिछले सोमवार को यह आंकड़ा सामान्य था. वहीं, पहाड़ी इलाकों में ये अंतर और भी ज्यादा देखने को मिला. इससे सुबह-शाम के साथ ही दिन में भी ठंड का अहसास हुआ।

पश्चिमी विक्षोभ और पहाड़ी हवाओं का असर

मौसम वैज्ञानिकों का कहना है कि इस बदलाव के पीछे मुख्य वजह पश्चिमी विक्षोभ की सक्रियता है. पश्चिमी विक्षोभ के असर से उत्तर भारत के पहाड़ी और मैदानी इलाकों में बादल छाए हुए हैं और बारिश हो रही है. इसके साथ ही हिमालयी क्षेत्रों से आ रही ठंडी हवाओं ने तापमान में और गिरावट ला दी। विशेषज्ञों का कहना है कि जब पश्चिमी विक्षोभ सक्रिय होता है तो वह अरब सागर और भूमध्यसागरीय क्षेत्र से नमी लेकर आता है। यह नमी बादल बनाती है और बारिश का कारण बनती है। इससे सूर्य की किरणें सीधे जमीन तक नहीं पहुंच पाती हैं, जिससे तापमान कम हो जाता है।

New Delhi: A day after police searched his residence in Delhi, Congress leader Pawan Khera on Friday launched more attacks on the Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma Amidst the ongoing dispute between the two.In a social media post on Twitter, Congress shared a self-made video of Khera in which he raised questions over a company named “Bhuiyan Properties LLC” allegedly listing Himanta’s wife Riniki Bhuiyan Sharma as the authorized manager.Kheda said the company’s non-disclosure agreement (NDA) lists Sharma’s various addresses and multiple citizenships.“Now, some more information has come to light. Specifically there are Wyoming state websites. Your IT cell raised questions on a recently registered company. Let me clarify the date: April 6 appears because, as requested, the nondisclosure agreement was revoked. There is a difference between filing and incorporation. You are showing filing dates; I am asking about incorporation,” Kheda said.“My question is, when the non-disclosure agreement was lifted, information about a company called ‘Bhuyan Properties LLC’ with a Wyoming address came to light. Additional articles listed Reniki Bhuyan Sharma as the authorized manager/member. This information became visible after the non-disclosure was lifted. Identity, Nationality: Antigua and Barbuda; Date of Birth: July 31, 1973; Comments: Invested by Citizenship: Other Nationalities: Yes (multiple). This is written on their website. Now, what is the address of Reniki Bhuiyan Sharma on this website? Care of Bhuyan Properties Ltd., an LLC company in Wyoming. The given address is in London, England. Other addresses are also listed from Dubai, United Arab Emirates and Dhaka, Bangladesh. “This all came from the Wyoming state website after the nondisclosure agreement was revoked,” he said.Furthermore, Khera reiterated his claim regarding Sarma’s alleged multiple passports from Egypt, UAE and Antigua and Barbuda, demanding an investigation to confirm whether they are genuine or fake.“Now, what are our questions? Passport from Egypt, Golden Visa from UAE, and passport from Antigua and Barbuda. Whether they are real or fake, we are not in the government, so you should investigate. Did you, your agent or any of your family members open these fake companies and purchase properties using fake KYC documents? Only an investigation can prove it,” Kheda said.Meanwhile, Kheda also criticized the Assam government’s move to file a police complaint against him and said “he will not be intimidated.”“For the last two days, you have seen what kind of tactics the Assam Police is adopting. Well, it is not the Assam Police at all, but the Chief Minister of Assam and probably the Home Minister of the country. A hundred policemen went to my small flat in Delhi. I was not there, no one from my family was there. But on reaching there, they snatched an old phone, a memento of my younger sister who died during Covid. They took a laptop I never use, an iPad I hadn’t even started using. They say they took two pen drives; “I don’t know whether they brought them or took them away, I have no idea,” he said.“Anyway, wherever I go, or wherever they think I have gone, they send police. Why? The Congress party has only asked questions. Why do you want to silence the Congress party? Why do you want to silence me? We have asked questions, please answer them. We produce these documents and information and demand investigation. Are we wrong to do so? Instead of answering, you are abusing everyone, letting the police loose and trying to scare us. Are. Do you think we will get scared? You may have a habit of scaring us, Sharma ji, but we are not in the habit of scaring us. Let me tell you why. I am from Mewar, I am a Congressman, I am a soldier of Rahul Gandhi. So, how can I be afraid? I will not be afraid. But yes, because I must keep speaking, because I must keep asking questions, I am actually evading your police.”Earlier on Wednesday, Assam Police searched the Delhi residence of Congress leader Pawan Khera amid the ongoing political controversy over allegations that Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma’s wife Riniki Bhuyan Sarma holds multiple passports.Assam Police said they had recovered “objectionable” material from Khera’s house, but declined to provide further details. The current whereabouts of the Congress leader are unknown, leading to speculation and political tension ahead of the elections.The controversy stems from a press conference by Kheda, where he alleged that Riniki Bhuyan Sarma held three passports and had undeclared assets abroad. The Sarma family has rejected the claims, terming the documents as “AI-generated fabrications” and “doctored images”.Sarma rejected the allegations regarding properties in Dubai, claimed that the documents cited by Congress were obtained without authorization from Scribd, and reiterated claims of “Pakistani links” involving Congress leaders Gaurav Gogoi and Khera. He said, “Why did you take help from Pakistani social media groups? … My allegation is why is Pakistan helping Gaurav Gogoi.”Political controversy has intensified ahead of the assembly elections in Assam on April 9 and the campaigning will end this evening. Counting of votes will take place on May 4.
