LADIS (Least Available Depth to aid in ensuring of optimum) portal

The government has announced quota in jobs for all the weaker sections, including the upper castes who earn less than Rs 8 lakh per year. The government's aim is to provide reservation support to the economically backward poor people who are not availing the reservation so far. भारतीय अंतर्देशीय जलमार्ग प्राधिकरण (IWAI) ने एक नया पोर्टल LADIS (‘न्यूनतम उपलब्ध गहराई सूचना प्रणाली’) शुरू किया, जो राष्ट्रीय जलमार्गों की गहराई पर वास्तविक समय की जानकारी सुनिश्चित करेगा। इस पोर्टल के माध्यम से दी गई जानकारी जहाजों की आवाजाही के लिए बेहतर नियोजन में मदद करेगी| Initially, it will provide information only for NW-1, NW-2, Indo-Bangladesh Protocol route and NW-3, along with date of survey. Later it will be expanded to other NWs also. It will facilitate day to day operations of inland vessels plying on NWs and to avoid any hindrance in service and operation. प्रारंभ में, यह केवल NW-1, NW-2, इंडो-बग्लादेश प्रोटोकॉल मार्ग और NW-3 के लिए सर्वेक्षण की तारीख के साथ जानकारी प्रदान करेगा। बाद में इसे अन्य NWs में भी विस्तारित किया जाएगा। यह NWs पर चलने वाले अंतर्देशीय जहाजों के दिन-प्रतिदिन के संचालन और सेवा और संचालन में किसी भी बाधा से बचने की सुविधा प्रदान कर���गा। LADIS यह सुनिश्चित करेगा कि न्यूनतम उपलब्ध गहराइयों के बारे में वास्तविक आँकड़ों को जहाज़/नौका और मालवाहक जहाज़ों के मालिकों को प्रसारित किया जाए, ताकि वे राष्‍ट्रीय जलमार्गों पर अधिक नियोजित तरीके से परिवहन परिचालन कर सकें। IWAI ने LADIS को राष्ट्रीय जलमार्ग (National Waterways) पर चलने वाले अंतर्देशीय जहाज़ों के प्रतिदिन के संचालन को सुगम बनाने तथा सेवा और संचालन में किसी भी प्रकार की बाधा से बचने के लिये डिज़ाइन किया है। यह राष्ट्रीय जलमार्गों पर निर्बाध परिचालन के लिये सूचना के आदान-प्रदान की विश्वसनीयता और दक्षता को बढ़ाएगा, इसके अलावा, जहाज़ों की आवाज़ाही के दौरान पैदा होने वाली समस्याओं के बारे में भी पूर्वानुमान व्‍यक्‍त करेगा। The Inland Waterways Authority of India (IWAI) came into existence on 27th October 1986 for development and regulation of inland waterways for shipping and navigation. The Authority primarily undertakes projects for development and maintenance of IWT infrastructure on national waterways through grant received from Ministry of Shipping. The head office of the Authority is at Noida. The Authority also has its regional offices at Patna, Kolkata, Guwahati and Kochi and sub-offices at Allahabad, Varanasi, Bhaglapur, Farakka, Hemnagar, Dibrugarh (Assam), Kollam, Bhubaneswar (Odisa)  and Vijayawada(A.P.). India has about 14,500 km of navigable waterways which comprise of rivers, canals, backwaters, creeks, etc. भारत का अंतर्देशीय जलमार्ग प्राधिकरण (IWAI) शिपिंग और नेविगेशन के लिए अंतर्देशीय जलमार्गों के विकास और विनियमन के लिए 27 अक्टूबर 1986 को अस्तित्व में आया। प्राधिकरण मुख्य रूप से जहाजरानी मंत्रालय से प्राप्त अनुदान के माध्यम से राष्ट्रीय जलमार्ग पर IWT बुनियादी ढांचे के विकास और रखरखाव के लिए परियोजनाएं चलाता है। प्राधिकरण का मुख्य कार्यालय नोएडा में है। प्राधिकरण के पटना, कोलकाता, गुवाहाटी और कोच्चि में क्षेत्रीय कार्यालय हैं और इलाहाबाद, वाराणसी, भागलपुर, फरक्��ा, हेमनगर, डिब्रूगढ़ (असम), कोल्लम, भुवनेश्वर (ओडिसा) और विजयवाड़ा (A.P) में उप-कार्यालय हैं। भारत में लगभग 14,500 किमी नौगम्य जलमार्ग हैं जिनमें नदियाँ, नहरें, बैकवाटर, क्रीक आदि शामिल हैं। Read the full article

Lockdown: Power demand falls 30%, 65GW capacity backed down

KOLKATA: Power demand has fallen 30% since the start of the lockdown on March 25, compared to a year ago, and may fall further, forcing 65 GW of capacity to back down.

Most of the industrial and commercial demand has vanished as markets, and offices are shut, and trains have been cancelled.

Daily power demand dipped to an average 112 GW, lowest in at least six years, from 160 GW a year ago. Demand for spot power fell 40%, bringing rates down to Rs 2 per unit.

This is making thermal plants run sub-optimally, with capacity utilisation likely to have fallen to 60% from 40%, said Sabyasachi Majumdar, group head at ratings firm ICRA.

NTPC has already backed down around 15GW of its 50 GW thermal capacity.

“NTPC’s plants at Farakka and Kahalgaon were running at around 90% utilisation, which had to be reduced to 60% although all its units are running at present,” said a senior NTPC executive. “Normally, during this time of the year, some 113 GW of coal-fired plants operate. It is down to 67 GW.”

On Sunday, generation from renewable sources was around 23.4 GW, while that from hydel and nuclear was 10GW and 5.2 GW respectively. As weather turns warmer, solar generation is expected to rise and additional coal capacity may be backed down.

The Centre has announced a three-month moratorium to discoms on making payments to generation and transmission companies and will charge no penalty on late payment. Despite the lockdown, the power sector’s operations are running smoothly.

Bengal Becomes the Hub of Wildlife Trade in India

Quick Notes

Raids conducted in different parts of the state in June reveal 6 cases of large wildlife seizures in just a month

Wildlife trades include rare and protected species like the pied hornbill, slow loris, great Indian hornbill, bear, tiger, tokay gecko etc. 

Bengal is used as a hub and a transit point by smugglers to trade and send animals to neighbouring countries.

Cumulative value of everything seized in the last 18 months could run into hundreds of crores in international market.

Despite all the efforts by the government, wild life authorities and a number of conservation groups, illegal trade in wildlife seems to thrive. In just a month, about six cases of seizure and arrest were registered by Wildlife Crime Control Bureau (WCCB), Directorate of Revenue Intelligence, special task force of West Bengal forest department and local police.

A raid conducted in a house in the crowded Manicktala area of North Kolkata on June 29th led the team of officers from WCCB to a pathetic sight of two pied hornbills and a slow loris crying in agony from within two compartments of a tiny iron cage. Apart from these, they also rescued three great Indian hornbills. All of these species are protected under Schedule I of Wildlife Protection Act, 1972. Two men were arrested for the crime.

This was not the first such case for this bureau, which functions under the Union Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change. At least 6 cases of seizure of wildlife parts were registered  in June in different parts of Bengal. Many of the species were of foreign origin and smuggled into India because of the hefty price they fetched.

Seizures made in June include different types of hornbill, rosella bird, concure, parakeet, macaw, pygmy falcon, duck, hoolock gibbon, tokay gecko and palm squirrel. Ivory, weighing more than 3.5 kg was also seized in June by the special task force.

Agni Mitra, deputy director of WCCB’s eastern region that covers 10 states from Bihar to Mizoram had this to say. “Probably it had been the trend for some time but results of increased vigilance indicate that West Bengal has become eastern India’s biggest hub for smugglers dealing in endangered animals and animal parts. Bengal is also used as transit point for smugglers operating between India and neighbouring countries.”

The Bengal Connection

The joint cooperative effort of different agencies has helped in a huge way. WCCB, apart from conducting its own operations; acts as coordinator between different state and Central agencies, including Customs.

“Sharing information is crucial. Over the past two years, Border Security Force (BSF) and Sasashtra Seema Bal (SSB) have also carried out raids with success,” added Mitra.

According to Government records, between November 2016 and June 2018, as many as 114 cases have been registered by different enforcement agencies in 10 states in east and north east India. Of these, Bengal tops the list with 54 cases followed by Assam with 38. Around 15 were registered in Meghalaya, Nagaland, Manipur and Arunachal Pradesh.

According to the Additional director general, Directorate of Revenue Intelligence, Bengal seems to be the hub of such illegal trade in wildlife. “Some seizures we made in other states also had a Bengal connection. For example, a man from Bengal was involved in smuggling of the ivory that we seized in Assam a few months ago. Bengal seems to have become the centre of this trade,”

Deepankar Aron, additional director general, DRI, said in Kolkata. “We have seized many exotic foreign species such as African pigmy falcon and macaw,” added Aron.

Big Money 

The magnitude of the crime is not only in terms of the loss of precious wildlife, but also in terms of the hundreds of crores of illegal revenue in the international market. While Mitra refused to put a commercial value to the animals or parts seized, saying everything was “priceless” as far as the government was concerned, a Customs official in Kolkata said cumulative value of everything seized in the last 18 months could run into hundreds of crores in international market.

“In September 2017, Bengal CID and BSF seized snake venom worth Rs 100 crore from Barasat in North 24 Parganas district. In May 2017, SSB and Customs seized snake venom worth Rs 70 crore from Siliguri,” a senior customs official said.

“Exotic pets have no fixed price. The trade is flourishing because some people will happily splurge on certain birds or monkeys,” he added. “In China, there is a huge demand for animal parts, especially those of the Bengal tiger, because the Chinese believe these have medicinal value. We have seized pangolin scales, tiger parts, sea cucumber, sea horses and even bear bile from different eastern states including Bengal. Since many rhino poachers have been gunned down by forest guards in Assam, Myanmar has now become a source of rhino horn,” said Mitra. Rescued animals and birds are handed over to zoos but many die while being smuggled. The rest are killed as either these are eaten or their body parts are what smugglers are after.

Dried Tokay Gecko for sale in China

“Some animals face torture too,” said Mitra. “Tokay geckos, for example, are sometimes injected with mercury or get pieces of metal forced into the skin so that they look different. The lizards don’t survive,” said Mitra.

Among Indian species, birds such as parakeets are caught in hundreds only to be sold as pets, officials said. Turtles and tortoise, on the other hand, are caught in even larger numbers, mostly to be sold as food or components of Chinese medicine.

On May 1 this year, BSF recovered 100 kg of semi-dried turtles and tortoise bones from Farakka in Bengal. During the same month, Bengal CID and WCCB seized 2,499 turtles from a truck not far from Kolkata. The haul included 700 dead Indian soft shell turtles. These were allegedly being smuggled to south-east Asian countries through Bangladesh where turtle meat fetches high price.

Wildlife traders seem to fancy all sorts of exotic and endangered species. Even the best of efforts by the authorities seems to leave the poachers and traders undeterred in their pursuit of this trade in animals due to the heavy demand and huge margins of profit.
