Published

on

Despite Russian President Vladimir Putin’s appeal for European countries to pay in rubles, Austrian Federal Chancellor Karl Nehammer said on Wednesday that Austria will continue to pay for Russian gas supplies in Euros. Shortly after Gazprom, Russia’s state-owned gas company declared a halt on gas deliveries to Poland and Bulgaria due to their failure to pay in Russian currency, Nehammer turned to Twitter to denounce news that Austria had changed its payment method for Russian gas.

“To the point and comma,” Nehammer clarified, “Austria is abiding by the unanimously decided European Union penalties.”

Alfred Stern, the CEO of OMV, an Austrian multinational integrated oil, gas, and petrochemical business, stated earlier in March that the firm will follow EU regulations and “of course” continue to pay in euros. “We have no other legal foundation for this deal. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to accomplish it “he had stated Nehammer repeated OMV CEO’s view earlier this year, adding that Austria has no alternative foundation for payment in any currency other than dollars or euros. In a remarkable change of events, multiple media outlets, including Sputnik, claimed on Wednesday that OMV has agreed to pay for Russian gas supplies in rubles, citing local Austrian media. According to the study, Nehammer Gas accepted Russian payment arrangements that “complied with the requirements of the sanctions.”

“Before the Russian propaganda’s bogus news spreads further here. Of sure, OMV will continue to pay in euros for Russian gas deliveries “According to Nehammer’s Twitter tweet.

Russia has been accused of using gas as a “blackmailing device.”

Russia cut off gas supplies to Poland and Bulgaria on Wednesday after the nations refused to pay for purchases in Russian currency, as demanded by the Kremlin. In a statement, Russian state-owned gas tycoon Gazprom said that deliveries would restart only if the payments were paid. Poland verified shortly after the report that Gazprom had blocked shipments through the Yamal pipeline. Bulgaria has yet to provide an update on the supply situation.

However, Gazprom has cautioned both EU countries against the “unauthorized removal of Russian gas from transit volumes to third countries,” citing the fact that both countries serve as transit routes to Germany and other western European countries.

President of the European Commission Ursula Von der Leyen also chastised Russia for cutting off gas supplies to Poland and Bulgaria. “It’s a Russian effort to blackmail us,” she claimed. Russia is teasing its European clients. Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

In an interview with Sky News, Dominic Raab warned that the measure will turn Russia into an “economic pariah.” He went on to say that the action will have a “negative impact” on Moscow and further isolate it amid the conflict.

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.”

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.”
