[h=1]Yamuna foams at mouth after idol immersions[/h] [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/toireporter/author-Jasjeev-Gandhiok-479247118.cms"]Jasjeev Gandhiok[/URL] | TNN | Updated: Sep 25, 2018, 07:15 IST [IMG]https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/thumb/msid-65941545,imgsize-558853,width-400,resizemode-4/65941545.jpg[/IMG] A devotee carries an idol of Lord Ganesha to be immersed into river Yamuna(PTI image) NEW DELHI: The temporary gains from monsoon seem to have already been lost: the [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/yamuna"]Yamuna[/URL], which was visibly cleaner due to rain, once again wore a foamy look on Monday after thousands of idols were immersed for Ganesh Chaturthi. Many such idols could be seen floating on the ghats � some half-dissolved, others completely intact � perhaps indicative of the Plaster of Paris (PoP) that is used to make them. Decoration material, flowers and pieces of cloth provided a grim reminder of how NGT orders continued to be blatantly flouted. [IMG]https://static.toiimg.com/img/65942497/Master.jpg[/IMG] Pollution levels in the river were already extremely high, according to a test conducted by Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC) on August 8. It was found that dissolved oxygen � required to sustain aquatic life � was 0 in seven of the nine ghats. DO levels should be 4 mg/l or above. Similarly, the report found Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) to be as high as 40 mg/l at places like Kudesia Ghat against a prescribed standard of 3 mg/l or below. DPCC officials said the [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/immersion"]immersion[/URL] process, especially the usage of PoP, was likely to push these levels further up. �We have started the testing process and will compare pre- and post-immersion samples. These will also be compared with last year�s readings,� an official said. An SDMC official claimed that while immersions were lower this year, the preparation was also a lot better. �We did not allow PoP idols to be immersed and they were kept on the ghats from where they were collected on Monday,� the official said. A corporation worker, who didn�t want to be named, said: �Water levels have been extremely low at some locations and, as such, idols could only be half-submerged. Decoration pieces were recovered in kilos from the river.� [h=2]The use of PoP idols was banned by NGT in 2015 as they don�t dissolve easily in the river. The tribunal had later issued instructions to remove all decorations before the idols were immersed.[/h] Experts said with Durga Puja round the corner, better preparations would be required to avoid a repeat of the situation. �Idols containing toxic dyes are immersed each year and the rules are rarely followed. Better implementation of the NGT order is required on the ground,� Manoj Mishra, convener of the Yamuna Jiye Abhiyaan, said.

The committee, which was formed nine months ago and is chaired by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, is supposed to meet at least once in six months, as the Act mandates, Social Welfare Minister Rajendra Pal Gautam said at a press conference after the meeting. [B]Conduct inquiry[/B] �The Chief Minister has asked me to conduct an inquiry into the delay in conducting the first meeting of the committee and to submit the report within a week,� Mr. Gautam said. While manual scavenging has been banned, there have been a spate of incidents where workers have been made to enter sewage tanks, leading to their deaths due to the toxic gases. Just this September, five workers died after cleaning the tank at a sewage treatment plant at DLF Capital Greens in Moti Nagar and another worker died cleaning a sewer pit in Dabri. �It is evident that death of manual scavengers have not been stopped despite the ban on the hazardous practice of incidents of manual cleaning of sewers or septic tanks. It is viewed that since the formation of Prohibition of Manual Scavengers Act 2013, it has not been implemented effectively [sic],� a statement from Mr. Gautam�s office said. [B]Survey findings[/B] Mr. Gautam added that the instructions had been issued to all District Magistrates to complete the survey on the number of persons engaged in manual scavenging, as the Act mandates. He added that three DMs had presented their survey findings during the meeting, stating that 45 people had been identified as engaged in manual scavenging. These 45 people would be given training and jobs with Civil Defence, the Minister said. [B]New machines[/B] In addition, instructions were issued to the SC/ST Department to come up with a scheme to rehabilitate manual scavengers and their families within a week, the statement said. Mr. Gautam added that the government�s standard operating procedure (SOP) for cleaning of sewage tanks, with an emphasis on mechanisation, would be notified soon. He added that the Delhi Jal Board would be getting 200 machines for sewer cleaning within two months.

[h=1]Sewer deaths to invite jail term of up to 10 years[/h] [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/toireporter/author-AlokKNMishra-479248959.cms"]AlokKNMishra[/URL] | TNN | Updated: Sep 25, 2018, 01:00 IST [IMG]https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/thumb/msid-65941389,imgsize-68497,width-400,resizemode-4/65941389.jpg[/IMG] The govt has directed DMs to conduct a fresh survey to identify manual scavengers in their districts. NEW DELHI: People who employ labourers for [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/manual-scavenging"]manual scavenging[/URL] of sewer lines and septic tanks will now be booked for culpable homicide in case of their deaths. This direction was issued by [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/chief-minister-Arvind-Kejriwal"]chief minister Arvind Kejriwal[/URL] on Monday after he chaired a meeting of the state-level monitoring committee for prohibiting employment under Manual Scavengers Act, 2013. �In case of death of an individual entering a sewer line or septic tank, the person in-charge of the cleaning work will face charges under IPC Section 304 (culpable homicide not amounting to murder) and not 304A (causing death by negligence),� said social welfare minister Rajendra Pal Gautam. While conviction under Section 304 invites imprisonment for a term that may extend to 10 years, 304A has a prison term of two years. Several manual scavengers have died while cleaning sewer lines in Delhi in the recent years. In the meeting, it was observed that Prohibition of Manual Scavengers Act has not been effectively implemented and deaths of manual scavengers have not stopped despite the ban on the hazardous practice. �The deaths of manual scavengers or those involved in manual cleaning of septic tanks have been taken very seriously. After a detailed discussion, the CM gave strict instructions to implement the Act effectively. [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Delhi-government"]Delhi government[/URL] seeks to rehabilitate manual scavengers and eradicate this inhuman practice to provide them a dignified life,� Gautam said. The government has directed district magistrates to conduct a fresh survey to identify manual scavengers in their districts as the earlier survey was found to be dubious. The survey on prevalence of manual scavenging has been completed in three districts and 45 people involved in such activity have been identified to be given a job in civil defence. �If the survey indicates that there are no manual scavengers in the area, the DM will be held responsible in case of any death during manual cleaning of septic tanks or sewers,� said the minister. [h=2]The SC/ST welfare department has been directed to draft a scheme for rehabilitation of family members of the deceased manual scavengers within a week. �All ADMs have been directed to try all cases under Manual Scavengers Act so that a sense of fear is created at large so that people are not made to go inside sewer lines and septic tanks,� Gautam said.[/h] Kejriwal has asked Gautam to conduct an inquiry into why no meeting of the state-level monitoring committee was held in the last nine months when there is provision to hold one meeting in six months. A report on the deaths of manual scavengers in the last five years has also been sought from the department concerned.

[h=1]Delhi world�s sixth fastest growing metro[/h] TNN | Updated: Sep 25, 2018, 11:33 IST [IMG]https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/thumb/msid-65945181,imgsize-997405,width-400,resizemode-4/65945181.jpg[/IMG] Red Fort in Delhi (File photo) Delhi is undoubtedly India�s economic capital too. In a global ranking of 300 fastest growing and best performing metro areas, the capital ranked 6th, just behind Beijing. The national capital region generated over 6 lakh jobs during 2014-16 and its per capita income rose 6.6%, according to a Brookings study titled Global Metro Monitor. Among nine Indian metro areas included in the city, Delhi was the best performer by a big margin. [IMG]https://static.toiimg.com/img/65945222/Master.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://static.toiimg.com/img/65945192/Master.jpg[/IMG] Delhi metro area (capital and its neighbouring towns) outperformed other Indian metro areas on the two strongest magnets of migration�job opportunities and standard of living. During 2014-16 Delhi created 6.21 lakh jobs and added $500 (PPP) to its per capita income, which was highest among all metros in the country. In growth rate of income Hyderabad did better and in growth rate of jobs Surat beat others. Greater Mumbai was the fourth overall best performer. Global top 3 metros are Dublin, San Jose and [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Chengdu"]Chengdu[/URL] (China).

[h=1]Why this Anand Vihar stretch is a hunting ground for criminals[/h] [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/toireporter/author-Sidharth-Bhardwaj-479247103.cms"]Sidharth Bhardwaj[/URL] | TNN | Updated: Sep 25, 2018, 07:18 IST [IMG]https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/thumb/msid-65940916,width-400,resizemode-4/65940916.jpg[/IMG] NEW DELHI: The areas adjoining [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Maharaja-Surajmal-Marg"]Maharaja Surajmal Marg[/URL] in [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Anand-Vihar"]Anand Vihar[/URL] seem to have become a crime hotspot. On Sunday night, a couple going for a movie at a mall were robbed of gold jewellery at gunpoint and locals said this was not the first such incident. Residents claimed that people coming to spawning eateries and liquor shops in the area often became easy targets of criminals. [IMG]https://static.toiimg.com/img/65942507/Master.jpg[/IMG] The latest victim, Jasdev Singh (29), a resident of Jagatpuri, said he had gone for a movie with his wife in a Honda Civic car and just stopped near a mall on Maharaja Surajmal Marg to relieve himself when two men on a motorbike knocked at his window on the pretext of asking for a direction. As Singh rolled down the glass, the pillion rider snatched the car keys while a third person pointed a pistol at him and told him to hand over his wife�s gold jewellery. While fleeing, they told Singh that they would throw the car keys a few metres ahead and he could pick it up later. DCP (Shahdara) Meghna Yadav said a robbery case had been registered. �We are taking extra measures in the area to curb the menace,� she added. Cops admitted that wide roads and desolate stretches allowed criminals easy escape routes, and they often crossed over to UP through the Ghaziabad border. The road, connecting Nand Nagri in northeast Delhi to Jagatpuri, has a mix of residential and commercial complexes. An officer said more than a dozen liquor shops on the stretch often attracted criminals to this area. �The shops are brimming with customers since the morning and the crowd only surges as the night falls,� said a tea vendor, who has been running the business outside the mall for a few years. TOI found people drinking either in the open or inside their vehicles. The criminals active in northeast Delhi often drive to these areas, rob people drinking inside the car and return quickly to their hideouts, said an officer. Another hotspot identified by the police are the areas around Anand Vihar ISBT and Anand Vihar railway station. Local shopkeepers said while only pickpocketing incidents were reported around the [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/ISBT-and-station-complexes"]ISBT and station complexes[/URL], snatching and robberies often took place in the crowded areas lying ahead. The favourite target of criminals here are migrant labourers who come to the city for a better future.
