Health Ministry has shared a list of ALL international arriving passengers with their respective district admins.

These lists are now being circulated on WhatsApp (at least in Mumbai & Nagpur).

List contains names, addresses & phone numbers including those of women.

(1/2)
Divisional administration in Nagpur said to a newspaper that it’s being done so that “community can keep a watch on those that arrive from overseas”.

This is pure vigilantism.

Morons are exposing private contact info of women to thousands of random people on WhatsApp!

(2/2)
Reported in the press but it hasn’t stopped yet.

The Modi govt is officially exposing thousands of women to predators by sharing their personal details including address & phone numbers on random Whatsapp groups.

There's a very interesting (and surprising) problem concerning transparency with the Rajya Sabha.

Let me explain:

So the RS has 2 kinds of members:

(a) those elected from states and

(b) those directly nominated by the President

(1/4)
Those that contest RS elections from states have to submit their assets declaration Form 26 affidavit.

However, no such requirement applies to those that are directly nominated (since there's no questions of voters/their "need to know")

(2/4)
Upon election, however, every member of the RS has to submit their assets and liabilities within 90 days of taking oath to the Rajya Sabha through a Form-1

The catch? Completed Form-1 of candidates is NOT available publicly on the RS website.

Important:

In reply to my RTI about the Noida-Delhi road closure, the @DelhiPolice have admitted that what Shaheen Bagh protestors said all along was true -

that the Kalindi Kunj alternative road from Noida was blocked by the Delhi Police & NOT the protestors.

(1/4)
The police begin the RTI response by talking about Jamia & the usual "burning of buses" garbage (which is totally irrelevant).

Then they mention that Shaheen Bagh protestors occupied Road No. 13A

(Pls note that the occupied part was only 100-150 metres)

(2/4)
Then they admit that it was the local police who barricaded the roads going to/from Noida & diverted traffic from the Kalindi Kunj border.

This blocking of an alternate route was COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY as these barricades were far away from the actual protest site

Since I’ve heard this confusion from many people, let’s clarify it:

Aadhaar is NOT a proof of citizenship. Like PAN, Aadhaar can be issued to any foreigner who resides legally in India for over 180 days.

Indian citizenship laws are messed up.

(1/2)
The only way to determine Indian citizenship is through the date of birth of the person (or their parents) if the birth happens on Indian soil.

All documents are auxiliary so long as they prove this date of birth (of the applicant or their parents) depending on the year.

(2/2)
PS: In India, being a voter or being issued a passport happens purely on a self-declaration basis. Your DOB is used to ascertain your Indian nationality.

This is why NRC is dangerous. For the 1st time, it puts the onus of proving citizenship on people with no clear laws.

1. Let's go. The 27th day of this chronicle of the crisis in Spain. The Carlos III website—the national microbiology centre—says Spain is up to 24,926 Coronavirus cases, with 1,326 dead. The Health Ministry page still says 19,980 cases and 1,002 deaths. covid19.isciii.es
2. A nurse sends me a picture of her "protective equipment" for last night's shift at a health centre in Granada to fight Coronavirus. Look at the mess. "The helmet is donated, the bib is a nappy, the booties are bin bags", she tells me.
3. BREAK: Health Ministry confirms 24,926 cases of Coronavirus in Spain, 1,326 dead, 1,612 in intensive care. Ministry says it's the data from Saturday 21 at 12:00 p.m., Carlos III that it is from last night at 8 p.m. I shall trust the Carlos III and add them to yesterday's count

Planted 23 crore trees already

Set up 24-hour toll free helpline 1926 #HelloForest

Created #GreenArmy, a body of dedicated volunteers to plant trees

U can register here

greenarmy.mahaforest.gov.in
#ForestSurveyofIndia has declared #Maharashtra as the ONLY state which has registered a GROWTH in #forestCover in past years

Not just #forests, but trees outside jungles have also seen a spike
253 m2 rise in #trees
82 km2 rise in #mangroves

#HaritKranti
#GreenMaharashtra
Survival rate of the 23 crore trees planted

2016 72 %
2017 80 %
2018 85 %

Impressive, isn’t it?

More focus has been on areas of the state with LESS forest cover like Marathwada, Western Maharashtra & Vidarbha
