The temperature dropped again; Nagpur @ 0.5 degrees

Nagpur: The minimum temperature in the sub-capital was once again at 5.5 degrees Celsius. It was not two days since the monsoon rains that the city had a cold wave since Saturday. The temperature dropped to a low of 5.5 degrees Celsius. However, with the weather forecast warning again, the temperature may rise once again. These fluctuations have the potential to affect health.

The minimum temperature has been changing steadily since December. After Diwali, citizens have to wait for December to cool off. Later, it dropped to 1.5 degrees Celsius. Then the temperature started to fluctuate.

But since December 2, rains have been present in many districts of Vidarbha including Nagpur. It was raining for two days. There was a loss of farmers. Now the cold fever has started again. Starting Saturday, the minimum temperature started to drop.

It was a nice fall on Sunday, but with thunderstorm warning has been given since Tuesday. This will reduce the temperature again. But in this game of cold and rain, the farmers are suffering huge losses. At the same time, it is affecting the health of the citizens. This is experiencing winter with the monsoon this year, as it is raining before it gets cold.

Many roads damaged within a week of getting repaired

Nagpur: The Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) has failed to learn lessons and continued shoddy road repair works, prompting strictures from the Nagpur Bench of Bombay High Court. Within a week of being restored, several roads were lost. Beginning from the lake to HB Estate T-point, it has been in bad shape for the last couple of years. Every day, the road is experiencing huge traffic. The civic body began fixing potholes and bad surface layers throughout the area, either through its hot mix department or private agencies, after the strictures of HC. Accordingly, patchworks on Sonegaon Road were done by the NMC’s hot mix department from the start of the lake to HB Estate a week ago.

Last week, the city experienced a few days of medium to heavy rains. Gravels that are part of the asphalt have since begun to loosen up. Most of the repair work came off on Monday. Now, it looks like a huge amount of gravel has been dumped on the whole patch.

These patches now pose a threat to drivers. Gravel has accumulated along the roadside in a few areas, and the entire area has been modulated.

The situation on Sahakar Nagar Road, Jaiprakash Nagar Road and a couple of stretches of London Street is close. On the newly patched areas, even potholes have appeared in some locations.

Also damaged was the stretch from Amravati Road to MLA Hostel that passes through Priyadarshini Colony. The repair work was performed during October’s assembly elections.

The period of road works ‘ defect liability, including total asphalting and patchworks, is considered to be three years.

Earlier, similar complaints were made against NMC’s private agencies about inferior work quality. Most corporators said most of the NMC’s hot mix department’s asphalting work is satisfactory. But the same department repaired all the roads mentioned above.

The HC had acknowledged the report by TOI on bad roads that caused accidents. Hearing the PIL, the HC imposed strictures on the NMC and ordered the municipal commissioner to take stern action against the execution of shoddy works by officials and private agencies.

Nevertheless, the NMC has failed to improve road repair work quality. Ulhas Debadwar, chief engineer of NMC, made sure to look into the issue and ensure proper work efficiency.

First Lunar Eclipse from 2020 to 10 January: Everything you need to know

The first occurs on January 10 of the four penumbral lunar eclipses to occur in 2020. The lunar eclipse is expected to last about 4 hours from India.

Lunar eclipse, also known as the Wolf Moon eclipse, is a celestial event that occurs when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, leading to blocking of some or all of the light of the Sun going to the Moon.

The lunar eclipse is expected to occur from around 10.30 p.m. to 2.30 am Indian Standard Time (IST), according to sources. During the eclipse, the Moon would partially cover 90% of the surface of the moon, with only the outer part of the shadow visible.

The US won’t be able to observe the January 10 eclipse as it happens during its hours of daylight. It is going to be seen by countries across Asia, Europe and Africa. Australia will be a witness to it in addition to the aforementioned continents.

These divine occurrences have always caused people’s wonder or terror. Unlike the solar eclipse, a naked eye can look at the lunar eclipse. Although it’s just a heavenly event, many beliefs have been attached to it by Indians. Others think it’s good for their company, career or wellbeing, while others think it’s bad for them.

This year’s other lunar eclipse will take place on 5 June, 5 July and 30 November.

How many illegal hoardings are there in town? The business department of NMC has no response

Nagpur: On Saturday, former mayor Pravin Datke expressed anxiety about the market department’s lack of attitude in providing information on the number of legal and illegal hoardings throughout the city. In view of its failure to curb illegal hoardings across the city, the Nagpur Municipal Corporation is already facing a contempt petition.

The municipal administration had convened a hoarding committee meeting where Datke is an invitee while the chairman is additional municipal commissioner Ram Joshi.

The market department was to provide reports of both legal and illegal hoarding throughout the region. The department was unable to bring any action against the city’s defacing illegal hoardings. Even it has failed to provide details of legal hoardings throughout the city and for one year Datke had insisted on the details. Despite warnings, there was no need for the department to provide information at the meeting.

Datke also held two other meetings— drafting a proposal to move private travel beyond the city’s borders and projects under construction running and transition or private-public partnership.

Datke also pointed out that he was approached by many private bus operators with suggestions to build their own bus stops. After more than an hour of healthy discussion, Datke led the Civic Administration to invite citizens ‘ suggestions on the subject. As of January 6, the NMC will begin the process of accepting feedback from people and travel bus operators.

In the meantime, Mayor Sandip Joshi formed another committee headed by Senior BJP Corporator Sanjay Bangalore to ease rents from NMC’s owned market places.

The meeting was attended by regional transport officer (Nagpur City) Dinkar Manwar, senior inspectors from the traffic police zones — Jayesh Bhandarkar, Shailesh Sankhe, among others.

It has been addressed that moving the bus stops outside the city will cause passengers inconvenience. Therefore, the NMC must ensure that private travel bus stops are located within 5 km of the city that will pass outside the city limits.

Digital India: The transaction value of UPI in December crosses Rs 2 lakh crore

Since mid-2017, the first mover in UPI payments has lost share to rival apps introduced by major internet and e-commerce companies, many of whom are multinationals.

Despite dipping slightly month-on-month in November, the number of transactions made using the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) channel reached Rs 2 lakh crore in December. In December, the UPI reported 1.3 billion Rs 2.02 lakh crore transactions, up from the previous month’s 1.22 billion Rs 1.89 lakh crore transactions.

According to data released by India’s National Payments Corporation (NPCI), its Bharat Interface for Money (BHIM) application has been used to make 17.82 million Rs 6,316.37 crore transactions. In other words, the app now contributes in terms of volume a mere 1.37 % to UPI use.

Since mid-2017, the first mover in UPI payments has lost share to competing apps introduced by major internet and e-commerce companies, many of whom are multinationals.

As of January 1, retailers will no longer be required to fork out Merchant Discount Rate (MDR) fees to accept UPI payments. The government’s change is aimed at forcing smaller retailers to follow more of the payment system.

Mandar Agashe, founder and vice president of Sarvatra Technologies, said: “This would make it easy for every retailer to start accepting payments through RuPay debit card and UPI and drive digital payments at merchant outlets to a large extent.” The government’s requirement that all companies with Rs 50 crore turnover or more accept payments through RuPay debit cards and UPI QR codes would increase adoption.

At the same time, some industry watchers say the recent decision to waive charges on transactions involving National Electronic Fund Transfer (NEFT) that eventually cannibalize UPI transactions. At least 70% of UPI volumes included peer-to-peer (P2P) transactions and the difference between UPI users and NEFT users could be significant.

In addition, on January 1, a two-year MDR subsidy offered by the government for merchant transactions up to Rs 2,000 expired. This, too, could cause some merchants to fall off the network earlier using UPI.

Nagpur Zilla Parishad polls: Nitin Gadkari says the Shiv Sena-Congress-NCP coalition is winning inappropriately

Union minister and senior BJP leader Nitin Gadkari said Friday that Maharashtra’s alliance between the Shiv Sena, Congress and the NCP was just for the sake of power and cautioned the three parties that state people did not like such “unnatural alliances.” He was addressing a rally on January 7 in Nagpur for the Zilla Parishad elections.

Gadkari said the Uddhav Thackeray-led party had betrayed the Hindutva ideology, hitting out at the Sena for breaking the ten-year-old alliance with the BJP over the sharing of the chief ministerial post.

In the October polls, the BJP and Sena had come up with 161 seat joints in the 288-member assembly, but the latter moved out and formed a government with Congress and NCP ideologically opposed.

“There has never been any similarity between the Sena ideology and the Congress and NCP ideology. These parties have come together only to gain power. Parties that couldn’t stand shoulder to shoulder are now walking, “he said.

“But it is the history of Maharashtra that people here never liked such unnatural alliances. Balasaheb Thackeray spoke of Hindutva, but now the Sena is only doing it for the sake of the tag, “he added.

By handing them a crushing defeat in the ZP elections, he asked the crowd to express their discontent with the “improper coalition.”
