‘Use jhatka to deal with wild animals’

Nagpur: Pravin Togadia, former president of Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and now a vocal critic of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has raised the issue of wildlife threats in agricultural land, as he has also called for a birth control law in the country.
“One of the biggest problems dogging the farmers in the country is an infestation of the fields by wild animals such as deer, boar and Neel Gai (blue bull), even lions in my Gujarat home state. I’ve come up with a mechanism to scare off animals with low voltage AC current, into solar power charged wires, “he said during his visit to Nagpur.
“Called Jhatka, I’ve been propagating process in different nation-states. I recently met Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh Kamal Nath on the issue, “said Togadia, who was once Sangh Parivar’s Hindutva poster boy and has now distanced himself from the organisation.
The animal doesn’t need to walk over the wire and even going over it will feel the shock.
“I also plan to launch a drive to press for a law that will deny government benefits to a couple with more than two kids,”.
Togadia expressed his disappointment with the Ram Mandir trust’s selections of members. Except for Vasudevanand Saraswati, only PM Narendra Modi’s loyalists were included in the trust, in place of those who actually participated in the Ram Jamanbhoomi movement, “he said.
He said the economy deteriorated and the Modi government failed to address the problem. The banks are ridden by NPAs and the government has dipped into the reserves twice.

Maharashtra: 5,450 animals using protected underpasses on highways

NAGPUR: While the longest national highway in the world, NH-7, travelling along Maharashtra’s Pench Tiger Reserve still features reports of wild animal deaths, the animals have now found new ways to escape vehicles.
More than 5,450 wild animals, including 11 tigers, were captured on camera using six highway underpasses, the country’s first dedicated animal crossing structures from March to December 2019, a study by Wildlife Institute of India (WII), Dehradun, says. Tiger, spotted deer, wild boars, hare and jungle cat were among the first species captured under the structures, and are regularly captured, according to the findings.
Tiger scientist Bilal Habib, who suggested the mitigation measures, said, “The monitoring exercise has shown that these crossing structures contribute to improving the permeability of the landscape. Such mitigation measures, if adopted, would help defragment fragmented landscapes.” WWI Report: 18 wild animal species use underpasses The report, based on March-Decece camera trap survey data According to the WII survey, spotted deer, wild boars and wild dogs were the most frequent users of these underpasses besides tigers and leopards. The jungle cat, mongoose, common palm civet, small Indian civet, Indian hare, rusty-spotted cat, and porcupine were among the other species.
“By the mitigation structures, 89 tiger crossings have been recorded until 31 December. These crossings lead to 11 individual tigers, which are regular users of the underpasses too, “says the report. Nine wildlife mitigation structures have been constructed along a 16.1 km length of the NH-7 passing through forests adjacent to the Pench Tiger Reserve and crossing the Pench-Navegaon-Nagzira tiger corridor as proposed in the May 2015 WII-NTCA Joint Report. “The initial outcomes of tracking NH-7 mitigation steps are very positive. We have recorded 5,381 captures of 18 wild animal species from these underpasses, the most frequent use of which was made by jungle cat, hare, chital, wild pig, wild dog and tiger, “tiger scientist Bilal Habib said.

Violating the mandatory helmet provision rule, HC summons major dealers in town

The Nagpur Bench of Bombay High Court has summoned 17 major two-wheeler dealers in the city after failing to respond to public interest litigation, seeking delivery of helmets by the two-wheeler dealers to each customer. And on 12 February, the court ordered them to stay in session.

Nagpur police are asking people with hilarious video to follow the traffic rules.

Nagpur:- City Police have taken to Twitter to warn people to follow Tuesday’s traffic rules. But it was really funny, the way they did it.

They shared a video of a man attempting to solve a complex mathematical equation and that equation’s end result was a zero. You can wonder what is amusing about this. Well, the way they related traffic rules to the mathematical equation.

The video was posted by Nagpur City Police with the caption, “IMPORTANT: this is the amount of challan that you will have to pay if you violate the traffic rules.”

With this video, Nagpur Police attempted to express that if you follow the traffic rules, you won’t have to pay any fine. Now that is a very commendable way to remind people to follow the laws of law, isn’t it?

Netizens found the video cool and funny. They took the feedback to express their opinions about it. Search here for their reactions:

Remember whoever drives slower than you is not an idiot.Nagpurians be alert while driving!

How safe is traffic throughout the Nagpur city? Every day, the town witnesses major accidents. Behind such a depressing fact, young people are responsible for a large number of road accident casualties. Figures also highlight a lack of sense of traffic of many Nagpurians. It is worrying that traffic breaches are on the surge. This is the sign of poor execution of rules of the road and a complete lack of discipline amongst urban road users. It is a trend that many Indians adopt, we believe in chucking shorter distance safety belts and helmets and stating, “Itna To Chalta Hai” One of our specialties is driving in the wrong ways. So, if you’re one of those too, this ministry’s recent evidence will cause you to reconsider your sloppy behaviors.

Accidents by road in India-2017. According to a survey, in 2017, more than 70 percent of fatal road crashes affected people in the 18-45 age group. The report by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways said that as many as 1,47 lakh people died on Indian roads in 4,64 lakh accidents recorded during 2017.

We all know that even after frequent challans and alerts, several people riding two-wheelers don’t wear helmets. Mobile devices are the most cherished friend that we have in this century. Yet, just as these apps keep us connected, when driving they often serve as the biggest diversion. Technology has definitely made things easier for us, but it is also our duty not to engage on mobile’s while driving.

It has been observed that today’s youth listen to music while they drive and wear headphones which sometimes leads to accidents. Lanes split the traffic by speed variance making it easier to keep a steady flow on the paths. Not concerning the lane discipline, you and your fellow drivers on the road make driving extremely dangerous for both.

State Government, is seeking to warn drivers about the negative effects of driving under alcohol or drug influence. Driving under such a state of mind increases the risk of an accident with ten folds making it one of the most deadly practices on the roads.

It’s the most frequent misuse of on-road features by drivers. The high beam is intended to give greater visibility while driving during the night. Try to ensure you only use high beams on one way or alert your fellow drivers at night by dipper.

It is one of the leading causes of on-road disorder. Not observing the stoplight makes it difficult for officials to improve traffic flow, and you become vulnerable to a deadly crash.
These were just a few stuff drivers on roads are doing poorly. The safest bet for staying safe when driving is to follow the good works and make travel to our roads convenient.
