Repeal of UAPA demanded Part of: GS Prelims and GS-II – Policies and interventions In news Major Opposition parties have demanded the repeal of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), 1967. This came after the arrest of Stan Swamy, a tribal rights activist, in the Bhima Koregaon case. Important value additions Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), 1967 UAPA was passed in 1967. It aims at effective prevention of unlawful activities associations in India. The Act assigns absolute power to the central government. If the Centre deems an activity as unlawful then it may declare it so. It has death penalty and life imprisonment as highest punishments. Under UAPA, both Indian and foreign nationals can be charged. It will be applicable to the offenders in the same manner, even if crime is committed on a foreign land, outside India.

What is Blue Dot Network? A group of US Senators has written to India asking to join the Blue Dot Network. The Blue Dot Network Blue Dot is a US-led collaboration with Australia and Japan that supports private-sector-led infrastructure financing opportunities in response to China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). It was formally announced on 4 November 2019 at the Indo-Pacific Business Forum in Bangkok, Thailand on the sidelines of the 35th ASEAN Summit. It is led by the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation, Japan Bank for International Cooperation, and Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade of Australia. It is expected to serve as a global evaluation and certification system for roads, ports and bridges with a focus on the Indo-Pacific region. Fundamental difference between BRI and Blue Dot While the former involves direct financing, giving countries in need immediate short-term relief, the latter is not a direct financing initiative and therefore may not be what some developing countries need. The question is whether Blue Dot offering first-world solutions to third-world countries. Secondly, Blue Dot will require coordination among multiple stakeholders when it comes to grading projects. Given the past experience of Quad, the countries involved in it are still struggling to put a viable bloc. Therefore, it remains to be seen how Blue Dot fares in the long run.

Environmental Clearance given to the Kaleshwaram project void Part of: GS Prelims and GS-III – Defence & Security In news Recently, the National Green Tribunal has ruled that the Environmental Clearance given to the Kaleshwaram project in December 2017 was void. This was so because the Telangana government subsequently changed the design of the project to increase its capacity. Key takeaways The petition filed in 2018 stated that while the Kaleshwaram Project was a lift irrigation system, the state government had wrongly claimed, until the grant of environmental clearance (EC), that the project was not for lift irrigation, but only for drinking water supply. The NGT has now directed that until the Telangana government obtains final forest clearance, it should stop all work except the drinking water component. Important value additions The Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation System is considered to be one of the world’s largest multi-purpose projects. It is designed to provide water for irrigation and drinking purposes to districts in Telangana, apart from Hyderabad and Secunderabad. The project starts at the confluence point of Pranahita River and Godavari River. Join >> @dailynewscom 🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁

Even the poison of a snake is powerless, if you can firmly deny it.” *Joke of the day* Class rooms r like train mast jokes for student 1st 2 benches r executive coaches-reserved for VIP middle 2 r genral compartment n last 2 r sleeper class *😳Why❓❓❓* *What is the reason for The Ancient Practice Of Sprinkling Water Around Food Meant!* This ancient practise is believed to have started by sages in olden times, who spent most of their lives living in forest areas or in raw houses, where the floors weren't concrete on which they sat and ate food. Moreover, the food was mostly served on banana plantains. The food was prone to be exposed to the muddy floor making it unhealthy; which is why water was sprinkled around the plates to settle the mud or dust particles down. Dirt contains bacteria that may contribute to allergic reactions and other health problems. Another reason may be that sprinkling water was also a great way to keep insects and pests at bay, especially at night when there is barely any light. It is said that ants or any insect cannot cross or tread upon water. *LEARN Sanskrit*🙏🏻 *आगच्छथः* To come 💁🏻‍♂️ *GK TODAY* The Thar Desert, also known as the Great Indian Desert, is a large arid region in the northwestern part of the Indian subcontinent that covers an area of 200,000 km 2(77,000 sq mi) and forms a natural boundary between  India  and Pakistan. It is the world's 18th largest desert, and the world's 9th largest subtropical desert. 🤔 *How it works* ⁉️ *How Tape Recorders Work* In the audio realm, magnetic tape (in the form of compact cassettes) is a popular way of distributing music. The tape itself is actually very simple. It consists of a thin plastic base material, and bonded to this base is a coating of ferric oxide powder. The oxide is normally mixed with a binder to attach it to the plastic, and it also includes some sort of dry lubricant to avoid wearing out the recorder. Iron oxide (FeO) is the red rust we commonly see. Ferric oxide (Fe2O3) is another oxide of iron. Maghemite or gamma ferric oxide are common names for the substance. This oxide is a ferromagnetic material, meaning that if you expose it to a magnetic field it is permanently magnetized by the field. That ability gives magnetic tape two of its most appealing features: You can record anything you want instantly and the tape will remember what you recorded for playback at any time. You can erase the tape and record something else on it any time you like. These two features are what make tapes and disks so popular -- they are insta

nt and they are easily changed. 🛕 *VEDIK GNAN* *Vishwamitra* : Sage or rishi, who used Rama to kill troubling demons. Initially he was a Lodh king in ancient India. he is also credited as the author of most of Mandala 3 of the Rigveda, including Gayatri Mantra.

At this time, grate some ginger and add it to a pan of boiling water. Once it boils, add the honey into it and squeeze half a lemon and you are good to go. This is beneficial for both sore throats and cough. *Regards* *CH. Naveen Kumar* *🙏PLZ FOLLOW GOVT. NORMS, MAINT SOCIAL DISTANCE, KEEP YOURSELF & YOUR FAMILY SAFE*
