Among The Most Important Allies : Joe Biden on US-India Collab

Published

on

As he met digitally with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday, US President Joe Biden underlined that the US-India relationship is “one of the most essential ties.” “During the meeting, President Biden affirmed that our partnership with India is one of our most important relationships, and the two leaders had the chance to have an hourlong, very candid conversation to discuss a range of bilateral and global issues,” a senior White House official said on record during a background press call by the Biden administration on US President Barack Obama’s meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

“They covered a lot of ground,” the official said of the Biden-Modi meeting, which took place ahead of the India-US 2+2 ministerial dialogue in Washington, which will include US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, External Affairs Minister Dr. S Jaishankar, and Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh.

Biden believes that the US-India cooperation is the most important connection that Washington has in the world, according to White House press secretary Jen Psaki. “President Biden feels our engagement with India is one of the most important relationships we have in the world,” Psaki stated on April 8 before the “two-plus-two” talk took place on April 11.

‘India will make its own decisions,’ said the official.

In addition, a senior Biden administration official stated that when it comes to ‘taking sides’ on the Russia-Ukraine crisis, which is currently in its 47th day, “India is going to make its judgments.” “India is going to make its conclusions,” a US official said following the virtual encounter between the two leaders. In his public statements, Prime Minister Modi brought up the matter once more, sparking debate. I mean, the President and Prime Minister Modi both expressed their perspectives.”

“You may have seen that India has made some rather strong remarks in recent days in New York denouncing civilian fatalities and supporting calls for an impartial probe. India is also supplying Ukraine with humanitarian help, including medication and other supplies, according to the official.

“As a result, we’re going to keep talking to India.” “I believe India will make its own decisions, but we will continue to talk,” they said.

Around Digha Railway Station, Negligence Causes Massive Water Wastage

Ignorance leads to huge water wastage near Digha Railway station.

The Wastage

In another case of carelessness, on Wednesday, March 27, a large water pipeline next to the Digha train station was damaged, wasting litres of water. In addition to upsetting locals, this event has drawn criticism for the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation’s (NMMC) poor response.

After this occurrence, the NMMC, which was given the task of supervising the construction of citizen amenities, has come under investigation. While there are development projects going on in a number of places, a serious mistake happened close to the Digha railway station on the Thane Belapur route.

A large-water pipe that supplied Digha with water was accidently damaged by a JCB when the M/s Light Strong Company was working on excavation. The large-water pipe burst, resulting in the loss of lakhs of litres of water.

Municipal authorities were notified promptly, yet they did not move decisively against the contractor in question. Locals voiced their displeasure, drawing attention to a persistent problem where contractors appear to start work without proper supervision or responsibility.

“Irrational contractors begin work at their convenience with the tacit approval of Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation officials,” said one resident. Millions of gallons of water were wasted when a water conduit ruptured close to the Digha railway station while the business was excavating. But neither the contractor nor the executives of the municipal corporation can bear all the blame.

“It is unacceptable to waste water. Additionally, such carelessness should not be tolerated now that summer has arrived. Another neighbor stated, “We hope NMMC takes action against such contractors.”

Prices Of Lemons Rise As Heatwave Hits City

As Summer & heatwaves strikes, the prices of lemon rise.

The Rise

Since the region has been immersed in intense heat and rising temperatures, lemons have become an extremely popular item in the city. Lemons are becoming an expensive luxury for many people as a result of their record-high costs, which are causing concern among the general public.

The retail market claims that the price of a single lemon has increased dramatically to Rs. 10 per piece, which is a substantial rise over prior months. Some people are so shocked by this increase that they are restricting how much lemon they eat.

Costs have increased overall as a result of the equivalent rise in lemon prices in wholesale marketplaces. The low salaries that define the present economic landscape put more burden on households that are already struggling financially.

The problem has been made worse by the increase in demand for lemons, which is ascribed to their cooling powers during the intense heat. Lemons are also essential for a number of culinary procedures, including the manufacture of lemon juice and the extraction of sugarcane juice.

According to a lemon merchant Varsha Sadanand Devkar. “Over the past 50 years, we have been selling lemons. But since the start of April, the cost has increased. We now sell three lemons for Rs. 25 and six for Rs. 50, while a single lemon costs Rs. 10 a piece.”
