Just four days after its in-
auguration by Governor
Kalraj Mishra, a signifi-
cant error has been dis-
covered at the newly
built Constitution Park in
Rajasthan University,
which cost 3 crores.
The park features a
Constitution pillar detail-
ing all 22 parts of the In-
dian Constitution. How-
ever, the university made
a major mistake regard-
ing the parts of the Con-
stitution. Part 17 (Arti-
cles 343-351) should
describe the official lan-
guage of the Union of
States, while Part 18 (Ar-
ticles 352-360) covers
emergency provisions.
The university incorrect-
ly mentioned emergency
provisions under Part 17.
Despite multiple in-
spections and a dedicated
committee reviewing
every content of the park,
this glaring error was
overlooked. Nobody no-
ticed the mistake during
the inauguration. The in-
auguration on June 19

highlighted that ex-ser-
vicemen in the state have
been actively protesting
for the past two years to

Captain Chaudhary
pointed out a significant
concern regarding the
amendment made by the
previous Congress gov-
ernment to the Ex-Ser-
vicemen Rehabilitation
Scheme of 1988 on De-
cember 7, 2022, based on
caste considerations.
He emphasized that
this amendment has ad-
versely affected morale
among ex-servicemen,
leading to a substantial
reduction of approxi-
mately 60 per cent in
available positions across
all categories in every re-
cruitment cycle.
The delegation, in-
cluding Satyendra Manju
and Suresh Sharma, fur-
ther informed Governor
Mishra that this policy
change has particularly
impacted the recruitment
processes, such as the
RAS 2023 examinations,
where reserved catego-
ries of ex-servicemen
have faced severe limita-
tions in securing posi-
tions such as SDM, RPS,

The JaipurAssociation of
Resident Doctors has ex-
pressed deep dissatisfac-
tion over the last-minute
cancellation of the NEET
PG exam. The sudden
cancellation has caused
significantdistress among
doctors who had traveled
long distances to reach
their exam centers. Apart
from the physical and
mental strain, the doctors
also faced financial bur-
dens due to the unexpect-
ed change.
JARD highlighted the
plight of the doctors, stat-
ing, “The cancellation of
NEET PG at the eleventh
hour has angered many
doctors.” Dr. Manohar
Soyel,PresidentofJARD,
questioned the decision-
making process and de-
manded compensation.
“The Center cancelled the
NEETPG exam at the last
moment without consid-
ering the difficulties faced

mand that each student be
reimbursed Rs 10,000,”
he stated.

The winners on the first day of Sub-Junior Swimming
Competition at SMS stadium in Jaipur on Sunday.

heT20World Cup
has taken an elec-
trifying turn with
the Super 8 stage
throwing up a
shocker over the weekend. First,
India cruised to a comfortable
50-run victory against Bangla-
desh on Saturday night that
seemed to ensure them a spot in
the semi-finals. But early on
Sunday morning in India, Af-
ghanistan pulled off a historic
upset by defeating Australia,
throwing the group wide open.
Now, India faces Australia on
Monday in what has become a
virtual quarter-final, with the
loser potentially crashing out of
the tournament.
Against Bangladesh, India
posted an imposing total of
196, thanks to a series of quick
fire contributions from most
batsmen.The victory was com-
prehensive but Rohit Sharma
and Virat Kohli, usually relia-
ble match-winners for India,
are yet to find their best rhythm
in this World Cup. Their part-
nership was brief but got India
a quick 39 off 21 balls. While
many want a change at the top
of the order, opening with these
experienced stars allows India
to boost their middle order with
power hitters, a strategy crucial
for posting big totals on tricky
tracks.
Bangladesh’s standout bowl-
er, Tanzim Hasan, troubled most
Indian batsmen with his clever
variations in pace and bounce.
Kohli fell to a slower ball, and
Suryakumar Yadav was undone
by extra bounce, showcasing
Tanzim’s ability to challenge
even the most skilful batsmen.
Rishabh Pant played a pivotal
role in shifting the momentum
for India. His aggressive knock
yielded five boundaries in eight
balls before Pant was dismissed
but he had ignited India’s in-
nings when it was needed most.
Coming in at 108 for 4 in the
12th over, Hardik Pandya accel-
erated the innings further. After
initial struggles, Pandya capital-
ized on a loose delivery from
Mahedi Hasan and used his
strength to hit boundaries off
even yorkers. His power hitting,
including four crucial bounda-
ries in the last two overs, pro-
pelled him to a deserving fifty,
reflecting Pandya’s importance
in India’s batting lineup.
Despite none of their top five
scoring a fifty, India’s collective
batting effort resulted in a for-
midable score of 196. This per-
formance highlighted India’s
new approach in T20 cricket,
where multiple batsmen adopt
an aggressive stance, each
spending no more than 25-30
balls at the crease but maintain-
ing a strike rate of 150 or more.
Bangladesh’s chase was ham-
pered by their poor opening
partnership with Tanzid Hasan
struggling to maintain a run-a-
ball pace. Litton Das fell in the
power play to a clever slower
ball from Hardik Pandya. Kul-
deep Yadav’s variations proved
too much for most Bangladeshi
batsmen, and his googly yielded
key wickets at crucial moments.
Bangladesh’s efforts were of-
ten panicky and lacked clarity
but Indian bowlers too need to
be commended. Kuldeep’s vari-
ations left the batsmen guessing,
while Jasprit Bumrah’s excep-
tional spell where 15 of his 24
deliveries were dots, stifled
Bangladesh who eventually lost
the match by 50 runs without
threatening India at any stage.
The most dramatic twist,
however, came later when Af-
ghanistan stunnedAustralia and
sent shock waves through the
cricketing world. Batting first,
Afghanistan set a target of 149.
Australia’s chase was soon de-
railed by Afghan bowlers, with
Naveen-ul-Haq and Ibrahim
Zadran delivering crucial early
blows. Despite a valiant effort
from Glenn Maxwell, who
scored a quick fire 59 off 41
balls, Australia fell short, man-
aging only 127 for 8 in their 20
overs. This 21-run victory high-
lighted Afghanistan’s growing
stature in global cricket and
opened up the group standings.
Afghanistan’s historic win
has created a three-way contest
for semifinal spots in the group.
With four points and the best
run rate, India currently leads
the race. But if they lose badly
to Australia in their final game
and Afghanistan pull off a big
win over Bangladesh, there is an
outside chance of India still
missing out on a semifinal spot!
As the so-far undefeated
Team India prepares to face
Australia, the key will be their
top-order batsmen and their
ability to handle Australia’s
pacers. Rohit Sharma and Virat
Kohli need to start firing at
their best, while India’s bowl-
ers must contain Australia’s
power-packed batting lineup.
For Australia, the match is cru-
cial to redeem themselves after
the loss to Afghanistan. Their
bowlers, particularly Mitchell
Starc and Adam Zampa, need
to deliver strongly to restrict
India’s batting.
A victory for India would en-
sure their semi-final entry and
boost their confidence for the
knockouts. For Australia, a win
is essential to qualify for the
next stage. Both teams have a
rich history of close clashes and
often bring out the best in each
other. The match promises a
spectacle of high-quality cricket
and frayed nerves. Fans around
the world will be watching
closely as the outcome of this
match could well determine the
ultimate trajectory of this pres-
tigious tournament!

UNION MINISTER AT VIT, CHENNAI
Need to understand correct legal history: Meghwal
PTI
Chennai
nion Minister
Arjun Ram
Meghwal on
Sunday called for the
need to understand the
correct legal history of the
nation as the country’s le-
gal system was estab-
lished from the perspec-
tive of the colonial rulers.
The Minister of State,
Ministry of Law and Jus-
tice (Independent in-
charge) said at a confer-
ence here that the laws in
India made during colo-
nial times ignored the
Indian ethos and societal
realities of the India of
the time and were based
on furthering the needs of
the colonial rulers.
The union minister
made the comments at
the conference ‘India’s
Progressive Path in the
Administration of Crimi-
nal Justice System’ at
Vellore Institute of Tech-
nology, Vandalur, here.
The seminar is the
fourth in the series after
being held in Delhi,
Guwahati and Kolkata
which was attended by
judges of high courts, ad-
vocates, academics, rep-
resentatives of law en-
forcement agencies and
students. “The Modi gov-
ernment has removed the
old laws having a slave
mentality and made three
new laws incorporating
the basic spirit of Indian-
ness and justice, namely
Indian Judicial Code, In-
dian Civil Defence Code
and Indian Evidence Act,
which will be implement-
ed across the country
from 1st July,” he said.
Meghwal said the evo-
lution of the legal sys-
tem, particularly criminal
justice under the British
from the Battle of Plas-
sey in 1757, introduction
of laws like Doctrine of
Lapse, Codification of
Laws etc, were to suit
and perpetuate colonial
rule in the country. The
Irish Penal Code was
mindlessly copied and
introduced in India,
oblivious of the realities
prevailing in then India,
he said. As India is striv-
ing to take its rightful
place in the comity of na-
tions as the ‘Viswaguru’
or the leader, it is impera-
tive that all vestiges of
colonial legacy are shed
and a modern criminal
justice system is put in
place, Meghwal said.
Union Minister of
State, Ministry of Infor-
mation and Broadcasting
and ParliamentaryAffairs
L Murugan said that after
almost eight decades of
Independence, the nation
deserves a justice system
of its own and the initia-
tive to change the colo-
nial era laws.

Union Home Minister
Amit Shah on Sunday
said at least 50 large
ponds should be created
in the northeast to divert
water of the Brahmaputra
to help tackle floods and
develop agriculture, irri-
gation and tourism.
Chairing a meeting on
preparedness for flood
management during the
monsoon, Shah also em-
phasised on optimum use
of satellite imagery pro-
vided by the Indian Space
Research Organisation
for flood and water man-
agement. He also took
stock of the preparations
to deal with Glacial Lake
Outburst Flood (GLOF).
Shah said efforts
should be made to up-
grade the forecast system
of water level of rivers for
better flood management.
He said at least 50 large
ponds should be created
in the northeast so that the
water of the Brahmaputra
can be diverted and stored
in these ponds, according
to an official statement.
This will help develop
agriculture, irrigation and
tourism in those areas at
a low cost and also help
tackle floods, eventually
benefiting the local econ-
omy, he added. Recurring
floodingoftheBrahmapu-
tra is a major issue forAs-
sam and the northeastern
region as it claims scores
of lives inundates thou-
sands of hectares of land.
Shah said the natural
drainage system should
be an integral part of the
designs of road construc-
tion to deal with their in-
undation in case of floods.

“More than 56 people

ers of the DMK and those
of other constituents of
the ‘INDI Alliance’ are
silent on it,” Patra said.

Chouhan said.
“We had a lead in 52 of

Ahead of taking oath as

their support.
In the letter, the for-
mer Congress chief said
he is sad but also con-
soled as his sister, Pri-
yanka Gandhi, will rep-
resent the people of
Wayanad in Parliament.
“You must have seen

I sad? I met you five
years ago. The first time
I visited you, I came ask-

“You embraced me
with unbridled love and
affection. It did not mat-
ter which political for-
mation you supported, it
did not matter which
community you were
from or which religion
you believed in or which
language you spoke,”
Gandhi said in the letter.
“When I faced abuse
day after day, your un-
conditional love protect-
ed me. You were my
refuge, my home and my
family. I never felt for
even a moment that you
doubted me,” he added.
Gandhi was elected to

STOCK MARKET ANALYSIS
SIGNS OF CONTINUED UPTREND ARE BEING SEEN
ow that the for-
mation process
of the new gov-
ernment in the country is
complete, the stock mar-
ket is on a bullish trend.
On a technical basis, the
market is now expected to
continue to rise, the big-
gest basis of which is the
purchases made by for-
eign institutional inves-
tors-FIIs and domestic
institutional investors-
DIIslastweek,butdespite
thispurchaseofthousands
of crores, there was no
comparative rise in the
stockmarketontheweek-
lylevelandtheBSEindex
and NSE index closed su-
perficially higher. It is be-
lieved that the current
level of the Nifty index is
technically predicting a
boom in the market, in
which the possibility of
decline is considered only
after 23200 points. The
basis of future uptrend in
the stock market is be-
lievedtobethestrengthof
the stock market at the
international level, but the
slow progress of mon-
soons in India remains an
obstacle to this.
Similarly,ifthereisany
decline in the market due
to the monthly closing of
the futures market on the
coming Thursday, then it
is being considered as a
new investment opportu-
nity. The biggest trigger
for the stock market is the
Union Budget coming
next month, about which
it is being speculated that
to woo its middle-class
voters, the government
may make an announce-
ment regarding the limit
of income tax exemption.
Apart from this, the pro-
posal to bring petrol and
diesel under the ambit of
GST can also be the an-
nouncement which has
been awaited in the coun-
try for the last 7 years. It is
also being speculated
about the Union Budget
that due to the coalition
government, there are less
chances of tough deci-
sions in the upcoming
budget, which is sure to
have a positive impact on
the stock market.
However,afterthetrad-
ing session ended on Fri-
day, the BSE index im-
proved by only 217.13
points (0.28%) last week
and closed at 77209.70
points, while the NSE
Nifty index rose by 35.50
points (0.15%) and
reached 23501.10 points.
Despite the superficial
rise in the BSE index and
NSE index, the midcap
and smallcap index re-
mained quite strong,
which is also pointing to-
wards the future trend of
themarket.Theincreasing
confidence in the Indian
stock market can also be
seen as evidence of the
purchases made by for-
eigninstitutionalinvestors
(FIIs), who had been sell-
ing till now, who bought
Rs 9102.87 crore last
week, although the pur-
chasesofdomesticinstitu-
tional investors (DIIs)
were much higher than
FIIs with Rs 9574.93
crore. The special thing is
that in the month of June
so far, FIIs have sold
shares worth Rs 2584.72
crore, while DIIs have
bought shares worth Rs
21447.02 crore. Talking
about the bullion market,
this week due to new in-
ternational equations,
there was almost stability
in the prices of gold sil-
ver, and comparatively,
while the price of gold fell
by Rs 350 per 10 grams
this week, the price of sil-
ver increased by Rs 350
per kg. In Jaipur, the price
of 24-carat gold fell from
Rs73,850pertengramsto
Rs 73,500 per ten grams
silver increased from
Rs 90,900 per kg to Rs
91,250 per kg.Traders are
expecting stability in the
prices of gold and silver
thisweekaswell.Regard-
ing the market trend this
week, traders say that
there are high chances of
the market seeing a bull-
ish phase, but negative
international factors will
have an impact on the
market. According to
traders, in the current cir-
cumstances, listed com-
panies of public sector
undertakings along with
companies associated
with infrastructure pro-
jects such as railways,
defense cement, etc.
are considered strong.
They say that even if the
index keeps fluctuating,
certain stocks will defi-
nitely move.

PAKISTANI ARMY GEAR FOUND WITH TERROR GROUPS IN KASHMIR
Encounters with
terrorists in JK
have led to the sei-
zure of highly encrypted
Chinese telecom gear
Ultra Set, an equipment
used by the Pakistani
army that has ended up in
the hands of terror groups,
officials said. This has also
raised concerns over un-
detected infiltrations from
across the Line of Control
and terrorists potentially
residing in the outskirts of
cities and villages, they
said. The seizure of the
mobile handsets used by
foreign terrorists, primarily
from Pakistan and its oc-
cupied Kashmir, indicate
that terror groups are
receiving training, weap-
ons and ammunition from
state actors in Pakistan,
said the officials aware
of the matter. These
specialised handsets,
exclusively customised by
Chinese companies for
the Pakistan army, were
seized after a gunfight
in the intervening night
of July 17-18 last year
in the Sindarah top area
of Surankote in Jammu
region's Poonch district.

finger that they once held

ne-shoulder
tops are
making a
bold come-
back in the
fashion world, offering
a blend of elegance and
contemporary edge.
These asymmetrical
wonders provide a fresh
alternative to the conven-
tional off-the-shoulder or
strapless styles, allowing
fashion enthusiasts to show-
case their individuality with
flair. Here’s how you can
style these tops gracefully
and add a modern touch
with the right accessories.
To start, pair a one-
shoulder top with high-
waisted trousers or a
sleek pencil skirt for a
s o p h i s t i c a t e d ,
streamlined look.
Opt for neutral
colors or subtle
patterns to keep
the focus on the
unique silhouette
of the top. For a casual day
out, tuck a one-shoulder top
into a pair of high-rise jeans,
preferably in a contrasting
shade, to create a balanced
yet eye-catching outfit.
Layering can add depth to
your ensemble. A tailored
blazer or a cropped jacket
worn over a one-shoulder top
can provide structure while
still highlighting the asym-
metrical design. For cooler
weather, drape a lightweight
scarf over the exposed shoul-
der to maintain the allure
while staying warm.
When it comes to acces-
sories, less is often more with
one-shoulder tops. Statement
earrings are the perfect
choice; opt for a single bold
earring on the exposed side
to draw attention to the neck-
line. Alternatively, mis-
matched earrings can add a
playful yet sophisticated
touch. Delicate necklaces
can be tricky; if you choose
to wear one, a simple choker
can complement the neckline
without overwhelming the
look. Complete your outfit
with footwear that comple-
ments the overall vibe.
Strappy sandals or sleek
heels work well for a pol-
ished appearance, while an-
kle boots can add a touch of
edge. A minimalist clutch or
a small crossbody bag en-
sures that your accessories
enhance, rather than distract
from, your stylish one-shoul-
der top.

OurFuture
HeatWaves,ClimateChange
ith ris-
ing tem-
p e r a -
t u r e s
and bro-
ken re-
cords, heat waves are no
longer an oddity, but a
blunt reality of our chang-
ing climate. Extreme heat
events are growing in-
creasingly common, se-
vere, and extended world-
wide, posing serious risks
to human health, the envi-
ronment, and our built
environment. Under-
standing the relationship
between heat waves and
climate change, as well as
adopting decisive action
towards decarbonization
and sustainability, is cru-
cial for minimizing their
effects.
Heat waves are extend-
ed episodes of scorching
weather, sometimes ac-
companied by high hu-
midity, that can linger for
days or weeks. The cur-
rent spate of heat waves,
including historic tem-
peratures highlights the
critical need to address
climate change. Accord-
ing to theWorld Meteoro-
logical Organisation
(WMO), 2023 was one of
the hottest years ever re-
corded, with heat waves
playing a significant role
and yes, we are already
witnessing 2024.
In contrast to the sus-
tainable strategy and
mentality, more HVAC
system sales were report-
ed, while green spaces or
natural alternatives were
overlooked. The environ-
mental impact of heat
waves is profound. Addi-
tionally, the increased en-
ergy demand during heat
waves often leads to high-
er greenhouse gas emis-
sions, creating a vicious
cycle of environmental
degradation. Ecosystems
are stressed as water
sources dry up and vege-
tation withers, leading to
increased risks of wild-
fires, loss of biodiversity,
and disruptions in food
production. Aquatic life
suffers as water tempera-
tures rise, reducing oxy-
gen levels and threatening
species' survival. Climate
change, driven by human
activities such as the
burning of fossil fuels and
deforestation, is the pri-
mary driver of the in-
creased frequency and
intensity of heat waves.
The Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change
(IPCC) has warned that
without significant reduc-
tions in greenhouse gas
emissions, global tem-
peratures could rise by
1.5°C above pre-industri-
al levels as early as 2030.
This warming amplifies
the likelihood of extreme
weather events, including
heat waves, which in turn
exacerbate the effects of
climate change through
feedback loops such as
increased energy con-
sumption for cooling.
ISHRAE CoOL Con-
clave aims to deliver So-
lutions for Current Envi-
ronmental Impacts. In the
face of escalating envi-
ronmental challenges, the
ISHRAECoOLConclave
organized by the Indian
Society of Heating, Re-
frigerating andAir Condi-
tioning Engineers
(ISHRAE) emerges as a
beacon of hope. Sched-
uled from 1st to 3rd Au-
gust 2024 at Jaipur, this
event promises to deliver
innovative solutions to
combat the current envi-
ronmental impacts, with a
focus on decarbonization,
sustainability, and climate
resilience.
This aspired carbon-
neutral unique conclave
aims to raise awareness
and discuss an action-
oriented outcome for De-
carbonization, or the re-
duction of carbon dioxide
emissions, which is a cru-
cial strategy in combating
climate change and miti-
gating heat waves. Tran-
sitioning to renewable
energy sources, innova-
tions in energy storage,
grid modernization, and
electric transportation are
also vital components of a
sustainable energy future
reducing our carbon foot-
print significantly.
The conclave will fea-
ture an impressive lineup
of keynote speakers who
are at the forefront of en-
vironmental innovation.
These thought leaders
will delve into topics for
various typologies includ-
ing Hospitality, Data Cen-
tres, Healthcare, Retrofit,
Commercial Hubs, Resi-
dential sector along In-
dustries. Panel discus-
sions will provide a plat-
formforin-depthexplora-
tion of decarbonization
strategies and the integra-
tion of green technologies
in the built environment.
Important stakeholders
anddecision-makersfrom
Governments, industries,
and individuals will col-
laborate to accelerate the
adoption of this drive to-
wards decarbonization
and a sustainable future.
The impact of climate
change on human health
is a critical concern, and
the CoOL Conclave will
not shy away from this
topic. Discussions will
emphasizetheimportance
of designing HVAC sys-
tems that not only reduce
energy consumption but
also improve indoor air
quality and thermal com-
fort. Experts will share
best practices for creating
healthy indoor environ-
ments, particularly in the
face of rising tempera-
tures and increasing pol-
lution levels. Building
resilience to heat waves
and climate change re-
quires a comprehensive
approach to sustainability.
Urban planning and ar-
chitecture play pivotal
roles in creating heat-re-
silient cities. Green roofs,
urban forests, and reflec-
tive building materials
can help reduce the urban
heat island effect, where
cities experience higher
temperatures than their
rural surroundings.
Moreover, water con-
servation strategies, sus-
tainable agriculture prac-
tices, and the promotion
of biodiversity can en-
hance ecosystem resil-
ience. One of the central
focuses of the CoOLCon-
clave is decarbonization.
To significantly reduce
carbon emissions, the
event will highlight cut-
ting-edge technologies
and practices that can
drive the transition to a
low-carbon economy.
Sessions will cover the
latest advancements in
renewable energy sources
such as solar and wind,
energy-efficient HVAC
systems, and smart grid
innovations.
These discussions aim
to equip attendees with
the knowledge and tools
needed to implement ef-
fective decarbonization
strategies in their respec-
tive fields. Beyond the
informative sessions, the
CoOL Conclave offers
valuable networking op-
portunities. Participants
will have the chance to
connect with peers, ex-
change ideas, and forge
collaborations that can
drive forward-thinking
projects and initiatives.
The event is designed to
foster a community of
professionals dedicated to
making a tangible differ-
ence in the fight against
climate change.
The increasing fre-
quency and intensity of
heat waves are a clarion
call to action. Climate
change is the underlying
driver, and addressing it
requires a concerted effort
towards decarbonization
and sustainability. By em-
bracing sustainable solu-
tions, enhancing urban
resilience, and prioritiz-
ing public health, we can
mitigate the impacts of
extreme heat. The time to
act is now, for the health
of our planet and future
generations depends on
the choices we make to-
day. The CoOL Conclave
by ISHRAE stands as a
pivotal event in the quest
for solutions to current
environmental impacts.
By focusing on decarbon-
ization, sustainable urban
planning, and innovative
HVAC technologies, the
conclave aims to equip at-
tendees with the knowl-
edge and inspiration
needed to address the ur-
gent challenges of our
time. As we confront the
realities of a warming
planet, gatherings like the
CoOL Conclave provide
a crucial platform for ac-
tion, collaboration, and
hope. For more informa-
tion on the CoOL Con-
clave and to register for
the event, please visit

com Together, we can
build a sustainable future
that prioritizes the health
of our planet and its in-
habitants.
