The decision to fell over 16000 trees in Delhi for the redevelopment of colonies cannot be justified at all. Delhi is already choked. The quality of air has nosedived over the years. The city state has become a gas chamber. Pollution related diseases are emerging as a serious threat to humans. If Delhi has to remain livable for more time to come, we need to plant more and more trees. Unfortunately the MOST OF THE TREES IN leadership of Delhi in recent times has not really tried to strengthen the DELHI CANNOT TOLERATE environmental dynamics of the city state.

From the policy makers to the people, everybody wants to exploit TWO BASIC NEEDs — Delhi to his advantage but hardly gives anything in return to this mega QUALITY AIR AND PURE city’s sustainable development. Even the central government, which has a lot at stake in Delhi, should be seen taking interest in addressing WATER. the city’s multiple woes. The issue of waste management remains as serious today as it was decades ago. Lifting of the garbage has not yet been streamlined, despite several experiments in the processes of civic administration and management. If we all are well-wishers of Delhi then we must think afresh and contribute to changing the developmental narrative of the national capital and the adjoining areas.

  • The Indian Army and Human Rights
    The Indian Army and Human Rights “You are not there to fight the people in the area, but to protect them. You are fighting only those who threaten the people and who are a danger to the lives and properties of the people[1]”. The Indian Army has always been committed to this Special Order of the Day issued by the Chief of the Army Staff (COAS) in 1955. For over 60 years, the Indian Army has participated in Counter Insurgency and Counter Terrorism (CI/CT) operations in different parts of the country including Punjab, Jammu and Kashmir and the Northeastern States. While functioning in civilian areas the forces encounter numerous complexities ranging from gruesome acts of violence carried out by militants and insurgents to unprecedented attacks by some unruly and violent crowd. In such circumstances, the Indian Army is under immense pressure to not only safeguard the territorial integrity of the nation but also to abide by their duty to protect the Human Rights of the innocent civilian population. Irrespective of the difficult CI/CT environment, the Indian Security Forces follow the twin ethics of ‘minimum use of force’ and ‘good faith’ while conducting such operations[2]. In fact, all Indian Army personnel abide by the COAS Ten Commandments for Troops in Counter Insurgency which underscores the need to ‘Respect Human Rights’ and condemns ‘Rape’, ‘Molestation, and ‘Torture’[3]. Actions of soldiers deployed to fight insurgency and terrorism are regulated by three tenets. First, respecting the elders, women and children is of utmost importance. Second, any inconvenience to the public must always be avoided.

Perspectives of Different Sections 28-36 of the Society VII. Key Findings 36-44 VIII. Policy Recommendations 44-54 IX. Conclusion 54 Foreword The conflict in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) is one of the major unresolved national security challenges that India faces since Independence. The princely state of J&K acceded to India in October 1947 under the Instrument of Accession to protect its territory from the raiders sent by Pakistan. Parts of J&K are under illegal occupation of Pakistan and China, making the region a point of contention. Despite numerous unsuccessful attempts to challenge India’s sovereignty over the state of J&K, Pakistan has been sponsoring cross-border terrorism in Kashmir and has caused large-scale violence and death of innocent civilians and security forces personnel. The government of India on 5 August 2019 abrogated the temporary provisions of Article 370 and Article 35A that provided special status to J&K and reorganised it into two union territories – J&K and Ladakh. Ever since, Pakistan has been disseminating misinformation, fake news, and propaganda in a bid to incite violence and instability in the region.
