In the pipeline: Fix for high level of ammonia in Delhi water

'This will resolve the issue of frequent stoppage of WTP due to high ammonia content in Yamuna water discharged by Haryana. The 106 MGD plant will be constructed in addition to the existing 90 MGD plant. It will be able to treat high ammonia content, up to 4 parts per million (ppm), in the raw water of the Yamuna. Currently, the plant has to be shut if 1 ppm of ammonia is present in the raw water,' an official statement said. 'The functional plant at Chandrawal has a capacity of 90 MGD, but after ammonia breaches a certain level, it shuts down. However, the use of ozonation and activated carbon technology will ensure un-interrupted working of the proposed plant,' DJB vice-chairman Dinesh Mohaniya said. The plant is being funded under the JICA (Japan International Cooperation Agency) scheme, he added. Water treated at the plant will benefit around 22 lakh people living in Old Delhi, Civil Lines, Karol Bagh, Rajinder Nagar, Naraina, parts of Delhi Cantonment and NDMC areas, the statement added. At the meeting, the DJB board also approved construction of 'the country's largest STP (Sewage Treatment Plant)' in Okhla at a cost of Rs 1,161 crore. 'The project will have huge impact on the quality of water of the Yamuna. The new STP, of 564 MLD (Million Litres Per Day) capacity, will remove 41,200 kg per day organic pollutant load and 61,600 kg per day solid load from Yamuna,' the statement said.

Congress skips GA meet, but Tejashwi says alliance intact

Brahmastra's shoot on hold? But in the past week, I have learnt that all the teams working on the movie, led by my VFX teams need more time in order to get the VFX right, to get the sound and music right, and eventually to get the film right. Our release date is now slated for summer 2020, but we will announce this officially once we are absolutely certain of the date.' The movie will be the first of a trilogy being produced by Karan Johar's Dharma Productions, which also has Amitabh Bachchan in the lead. ...

Danish Sait to return with Humble Politician Nograj sequel

'The producers will again ask me what I have done,' he added. Nograj is a narcissistic and ruthless politician, who speaks broken English as a way to deceive people. The satirical take on the country's broken political system clicked with the audience and critics alike when it came out in 2017. 'After watching the film, many asked me why did I leave the country with no hope? We are so used to the good guy winning and the bad guy losing. What we said (in the film) is a bad guy is not going to change in the middle,' Danish said referring to the film's ending where corruption defeats honesty. Meanwhile, Danish Sait seems to nurture big plans for Nograj beyond cinema. 'That's what satires are about. It reflects on society. I was watching Hasan Minhaj's The Patriot Act on Indian politics. I was in awe. It was so nicely written,' he said. The actor has also hosted an informative show Need To Know, a 29-episode series shot in view of the impending elections. 'The show that I have done for Daily Hunt - Need To Know is about every state, its history, what each of them has gone through, what is going on etc. Even if it reaches a small percentage of voters in every state, it is worth it,' he added. Danish Sait will be next seen in director Pannaga Bharana's upcoming comedy film, which is produced by actor Puneeth Rajkumar. The untitled flick set in Bengaluru's Shivajinagar will bring Danish's another alter ego Asgar to life. The film in the post-production stage is eyeing an August release.

Hallmark of a Real Devotee

One can enjoy a reprieve only through surrender. God lessens our burden when we surrender our problems to Him. Actually, nothing happens according to our will. There is no guarantee whatsoever that we will take the next breath. Therefore, the only thing we can do is to work, surrendering all action to Him. However, we should act without the sense of 'doership'. Instead, we should act with the awareness that we are doing so with His power. We should work, seeing it as worship of the Almighty. This is the attitude of surrender that we must cultivate. God resides in everyone as the antaryami, the indweller. He speaks to us every moment with utmost love, gentleness and simplicity, but we lack the patience to lend our ears to Him. We do not have ears that listen to God. We thus err time and again, and suffer. We must foster the attitude of a disciple so that we can heed and obey Him. When our discipleship awakens, when we are ready to obey and approach Him with faith, development, love and humility, then He will assume the attitude of a Guru and be prepared to lead us. Arjuna and Lord Krishna were close friends, like brothers, in fact. But the Lord never dispensed the wisdom of the Gita to him then. He only did so when Arjuna developed the attitude of a disciple. Hence, we ought to develop the same attitude. Discipleship is nothing other than surrender. When one truly becomes a disciple, everything in the universe becomes a Guru; every experience becomes a Guru. If we do not have this attitude, we will not learn anything, no matter how many experiences we have. Amma remembers the story of Radha. When Krishna left Vrindavan for Mathura, He did not take Radha or any of the other gopis (milkmaids) with Him. This made them all very sad. At this time, Udhava, who had arrived at Vrindavan from Mathura, told Radha, "The Lord received messages from the other gopis, asking Him to return to Vrindavan or to take them with Him to Mathura. You alone did not send Him any such message. Why?" Radha said, "When the master of the house leaves, he might or might not take his servant with him. What will the servant do if his master does not take him? He will clean the house and its surroundings, discharge all the duties that his master has entrusted him, and then wait for him. I am Lord's servant. He has the authority to decide whether or not to take me with Him. If He had taken me with Him, I would have known no higher joy. At the same time, I have not become despondent because He did not. I am waiting for Him, having purified the temple of my heart and having lit the lamp of love therein. That is my duty as a servant. And that is why I have no message in particular to send to the Lord."This is the kind of attitude we ought to have towards God. This is the hallmark of a real devotee-the attitude of a servant. We can realise the Self only through surrender.The writer is a world-renowned spiritual leader DailyhuntDisclaimer: This story is auto-aggregated by a computer program and has not been created or edited by Dailyhunt.

'Every Vote Counts' book review: A ringside view of Indian elections

He goes on to give us the history of the first elections in Independent India, in 1951, when the EC was headed by Sukumar Sen. Chawla has researched extensively for this section, speaking to Sen's daughters to get a feel for the times. Then he moves on to the challenges and details of the 2009 elections, state by state. Since he can refer to his own notes for this chapter, we get a very detailed picture. Possibly the most interesting subsequent chapters are focused on the challenges facing the elections today: the Maoist resistance to elections, the EVM rigging controversy, the rise of paid news, and the intricate manoeuvring needed for the J&K state elections. Chawla devotes an entire chapter each to these issues, throwing new light on them. During the controversy regarding the efficacy of the EVM machines, for example, the EC was at pains to test and verify the machines with every competent expert available. Chawla makes the wry observation that parties that lost an election were always the first to accuse the EVMs of being hacked! He walks us through the processes and checks that the EC goes through to ensure the reliability of the machines themselves. Multiple people have claimed being able to hack the EVMs, and Chawla also explains how these claims were always tackled head-on and disproved. In so doing, the complexity of the whole issue comes through and the due diligence leaves us impressed. The description of the election arrangements in the Maoist corridor is like the setup for a thriller. Multiple attacks were targeted at the election officials who were brave enough to venture in these areas - bombs concealed under roads, guns fired at moving vehicles, ultimatums to boycott the election. In the middle of this atmosphere, Chawla did his part in arranging for enough security and transportation for the brave officials-eventually talking directly to the armed forces to get his requirements fulfilled. The Kashmir state elections story from 2008 is even more complex. In this case, it was nigh impossible to agree on an appropriate date to have the elections-voting percentages, alignment with central government elections, and other factors weighed in. Differences cropped up between the Election Commissioners themselves. The various political parties active in the state were supportive; however, they added their own quirks. Eventually, the decision was taken, the elections were held and the rest is history-with nearly 60 per cent participation. The last part of the book focuses on the mechanics of the EC itself. One of Chawla's main concerns is the relative role of the CEC, compared to the other two Commissioners (who were added to the Commission during the time of TN Seshan in an apparent bid to curtail his power). He goes into detail about his falling out with N Gopalaswami, the CEC, although without apportioning blame or telling any secrets. There is also a lot of discussion about the Commission's efforts to control paid news and the using of media for political propaganda. Without naming too many names, he reveals how all the parties use all means possible for leverage, often running afoul of the Commission. This book is required reading for all those interested in going behind the scenes of the most logistically complex democratic exercises in the world.
