The chemical, allegedly…

“Darbhanga puddle was eradicated in the desire of high” (high hopes?)

From an interesting article about pokhar in and around Darbhanga  “pond” or “puddle” this is from my rudimentary knowledge a sort of traditional infrastructure. Ponds are dug and filled by rains and floods with fish and wildlife or even farmed with plants like lotuses. Now a lot of things are changing. I just used google translate on this article

http://badalav.com/%E0%A4%AC%E0%A5%81%E0%A4%B2%E0%A4%82%E0%A4%A6%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%AF%E0%A5%8B%E0%A4%82-%E0%A4%95%E0%A5%80-%E0%A4%96%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%B5%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%B9%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%B6-%E0%A4%AE%E0%A5%87%E0%A4%82/

These days, you can not see Lahriasarai's son Gami Pokhar without climbing the roof of a house built around it. Once spread over five acres, this pond today looks like a small terrace. Today, its acreage is hardly an acre. Responsible for its condition are private hospitals and other buildings built around it, which have almost completely swallowed it in the last four-five years. The little water left in the pond is hardly visible next year. Because even that land has been completely sold and construction is going on fast there.

There is a Baba Sagar Das pond. A few months ago, when the garbage was being thrown in it, the water men reached Rajendra Singh to see it. Today that pond has become a flat ground. Pillars of many houses have stood up. Local people say that all this has happened in the last month itself. In Kabra Ghat locality, a pond has been leveled in recent times, the other half has been filled and the third one is being dumped. In a pond in Shahi Mansafi in Ward 25, these days, mud is being spilled from the tractor every night and no one can stop this dangerous game. Another Pokhara, also known as Gami Pokhar, has a hotel standing for many years. This condition of the ponds is in the city of Darbhanga, which was once considered to be the district of ponds. Pug-Pug Pokhars are also a cultural identity here. But these days the existence of almost all the ponds of the city is under threat.

Betta Gami Pokhar (which is three-quarters full these days), located at Laheriasarai, began to be filled four-five years ago. In 2014, it was opposed by local poor people to fill it. The same pond was used for bathing and washing these people. There was also a movement. One day the body of Arun Ram, a youth involved in this movement, was found floating in this pond and his companions were charged with killing him. People say, at that time the encroachers had promised that the pond would not be filled any more, and a ghat would be built on the bank of the pond so that people could take a shower. But nothing happened. The agitating youth got entangled in the case-trial and the noose was tightening on the neck of the pond, which is now dying.

In the meantime a case was filed against the encroachment of this pond. But it is said that the district administration did not put the facts properly in the lawsuit, because many influential people were holding the land there. The administration lost the lawsuit. The then DM then asked to go to the Supreme Court. But immediately he was transferred. The judgment could not be appealed against in the Supreme Court. The interesting fact is that there is a police station just behind this pond, he does not even hear the voiceless scream of the lost tank.

Big ponds like Ganga Sagar, Digghi, Harahi and Mirza Khan pond which have been considered the pride of the city, are also under the watch of the land mafia. In 2010, a plan was made to beautify Diggi Talab. A budget of one crore sixty-five lakhs was made available. But in the meantime, some ward councilors said that encroachment of the city's ponds should be free from encroachment. On the order of the commissioner, an inquiry committee was formed to mark the encroachment on these four big ponds of the city. The first three ponds were measured and notices were issued to the trespassers. They appealed to be measured again. Meanwhile, DCLR was transferred and this entire investigation was stopped, the issue of beautification also went in cold storage.

These days the wholesale fisher market has been erected on the banks of the Ganges Sagar pond, nine hundred years old. It is interesting that 95 percent of the fish in this market are from Andhra Pradesh. Umesh Sahni, chairman of the Wholesale Fish Merchant Association, says it is truly a shame for Darbhanga district with more than 65 hundred ponds and surrounded by two big rivers. But what should we do. Where will the fish be found when garbage is put in the ponds? He took the contract of Ganga Sagar Talab a few years ago. The fish cumin also dropped, but all the fish died before growing up. He lost Rs 20 lakh. Different types of local fish were once found in the ponds of the city, now most of these variety have been destroyed. The fishermen are being harmed. His livelihood is getting over.

There is a puddle in Ward 24 in Shah Supan. There must have been a pond before. For the last several years, the people of the locality pour contaminated water from their homes in it, because there is no other drainage system. Recently, a land mafia caught sight of that dub. On the first January of this year, soil started pouring there. If the puddle was full, people would have no place to drain their dirty water. Therefore the people of the locality protested. He was led by Chhotan Qureshi, an activist of a political party. When he complained at the government level, from January 5, the soil cease there. But on 24 March, the soil started to fall again. Then complained, protested. Closed, but again same thing on April 11. This time all the people together protested strongly. A minister was also informed. So now the work of dumping soil is stopped there. Although Chhotan Qureshi says, he is being lured by money, is also being scared. He is the District General Secretary of Akalit Cell of RJD

The biggest disadvantage due to the dismantling of these ponds is that the cities are in the grip of severe water crisis these days. The water level has gone below 187 feet. Chapakal has failed, boring of 1 HP is also not working. The laying of the pipeline, which began in 2005, has not been completed till date. There are only four tankers in the city, which are proving cumin in the mouth of a camel for a big city like Darbhanga. Now there are some public hand pumps with more depth, which are working. Poet and former journalist Amitabh Bachan says that it is sad, the city is still not alert.

Narayanji Chaudhary, a social activist of the city, started the Talib Bachao Abhiyan in 2013. He collected data related to the city's ponds. People from the poorer sections who were most dependent on these ponds participated in this movement. But today, after three years, they say desperately, we could not save even a single pond. At least 25 ponds were filled in front of my eyes. I gave information from the DM to the commissioner, written and picture of each incident. But unfortunately, action was not taken in even one case. Narayanji Chaudhary says that if the logic of water conservation is not understood then people should at least consider it as a heritage. None of these ponds are less than a hundred years old. Many are centuries old. If the safety of old buildings is important then why not the pond.

Unsafe Buildings Will Be Bulldozed Before Monsoon- BMC

BMC have spotted out many infirm constructions in Hoshanagabad road, Arera Colony and Motia Talab area and decided to demolish them before the monsoon arrives. Aloke Verma, the mayor of BMC has revealed that there 163 locations of the city where there are unsafe buildings which could be possible threat to the citizen. Many of these constructions are illegal and violate the existing real estate rules. According to the mayor many of these constructions along drains and water bodies can lead ruthless flood like Uttarakhand, happened before a couple of years. Uttarakhand witnessed one of the worst disastrous landslide and flood incidents in 2013. In Bhopal too there was an incident like this (not so massive) where seven people had died and in 2016 and over 20,000 were displaced.

“You get to see most of the unsafe properties in north Kolkata, central and some of the southern areas of the extended city. KMC has already in process of demolition of the Property in north Kolkata and the civic body also has promised to compensate the existing inhabitants of such buildings with safe residence and healthy inhabitance, said Mr. Mahesh Somani, Vice President - NAR India & Chairman : National RERA committee, NAR India..

Sudden clearance of these constructions might cause an opposite effect in the mass. Thus, BMC has requested the district collector to inspect these sites and take apt action. This declaration of the BMC mayor published on a weekly open forum for grievance redressal. Bhopal Municipal Corporation (BMC) records say that 9 buildings out of 213 around the water body have the needed building permissions. It is projected that of the 11.99 acre land of the Talab, more or less 7 acre is under violation comprise 159 houses, 14 hospitals, 20 shops and hotels. There was an instance of hospital lane along Motia Talab, located near Taj-ul-Masajid, the area has wrangling development, miffed with litigation. This construction causes public health risk. Immediate action should be taken against this as the waterfront can’t hold the construction for long.

BMC’s decision likely to affect many odd private hospitals, pathology labs and nursing homes operating in front of Taj-ul-Masajid. A three storey building in E-11 Arera Colony is built over drain and sanctioned by housing board. BMC is likely do up their sewage and drainage system before the monsoon. Mayor has appointed an independent agency for testing the water as of ponds and lakes to find out the reasons behind death of thousand fishes in the water body.  The civic body of Bhopal also indicated if anyhow natural lives of animals have been disturbed by the human intervenes then suitable action will be initiated. On the contrary BMC has proposed an Entertainment Park and jetty in the Upper lakeside which is supposed to be the biggest man-made lake in India and protected under the UN Ramsar convention. This lake is the source of drinking water of half of the citizen of the state capital. Green activist Subash Pandey has alleged that this project of BMC is likely to impact the water body and contaminate the drinking water as well.

The 'Talabi' #Kalamkari collection Finally after 6 months of hard work my new hand painted kalamkari collection is ready. To me these sarees are not just pieces of clothing they are wearable pieces of art. Every single piece is unique and a labour of love. It all starts with an idea in my head, which is then drawn into a beautiful sketch on paper and there after the skilled kalamakri artists do their magic. You will notice fishes feature predominantly in the 'Talab' collection. Last year whilst I was in Berlin I saw a Japanese themed wall art on a side street which had 4 fishes placed together in a circular disk, it was beautiful. That is what inspired me to create this collection. I may have conceptualised the collection but the credit of making these beauties goes to the unbelievably talented artists. I have said it before and I will say it again this craft is priceless. I spend hours admiring these sarees, every bit of them is stunning. My pictures and videos don’t do justice their beauty. A Kalamakri saree goes through a process of 17 steps before it comes to life. The final product you see is a result of an age old art and is priceless. Everything about the art of kalamakri makes me happy : the crooked lines, smudged edges, the softness of the cloth, the smell of milk and the muted effect of the organic colours. If you look closely you will see slight imperfections like a slight crooked line where the artist's hand may have slipped, or a small spot of colour in the wrong place. These may appear to be imperfect but in my eyes they are the most beautiful part of the kalamkari art. There is some magic in imperfection, and I find them imperfectly beautiful. I hope you all like this new collection as much as I do.

Search on for humpback whale entangled in debris off Hawaii

POIPU, Hawaii (AP) — A marine mammal rescue team is looking for an adult humpback whale entangled in debris off the coast of Hawaii.

First responders removed about 2,000 feet (600 meters) of heavy-gauge line from the animal over the weekend when it was off the island of Kauai, The Garden Island newspaper reported. Authorities detached most of the gear but weren’t able to get all of it off before the whale moved on.

Officials plan to try to find the whale and clear more line from it as conditions permit. They will study the removed gear to try to determine what it is and where it came from.

Large whales can become entangled in active or abandoned fishing gear or other ropes and lines in the ocean. The drag from debris can cause whales to use more energy to swim. It can also make it harder for them to feed, potentially leading to starvation. The debris can also injure the animals and trigger infections.

The entangled whale was emaciated, light-colored and rough-skinned, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said. It had patches of rust-colored whale lice, indicating it was distressed.

Graham Talaber, who lives in the community of Koloa on Kauai, noticed rope and a dark spot in the water while filming green sea turtles from with a drone-mounted camera on Sunday. After 10 to 15 minutes of hovering over the area, his worries were confirmed when he saw a humpback at the end of a big net.

“It’s just right there, right in front of you, this massive, bus-size animal struggling for its life,” Talaber said. He asked his father to alert NOAA.

The responder team attached a satellite telemetry buoy to the whale, which will self-release in about a week. The buoy signaled when the whale returned to Kauai waters on Wednesday but the team could not spot the whale.
