Aditya Srivastava is not raving with excitement, but you can easily identify the emotional arousal in his voice as he shares his splendid victory. After all, he has topped the toughest and most prestigious exams in India– the Civil Services Examination-2023 – conducted by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC), the results of which were declared on April 16, 2024. And as you converse with him, you do feel the contagious excitement in the form of goose bumps – an involuntary action of your tiny muscles. In this off-beat heart-to-heart conversation, the 27-year-old says that it is unlikely that he would be smitten by the “IAS-snob attitude” and adds that it is alright to dip while preparing for the examination, but it is more important to bounce back as soon as possible. Check out the UPSC-2023 All India Rank -1 holder, Aditya Srivastava’s exclusive interview with Whispers In The Corridors (WITC) from the National Police Academy in Hyderabad where he is undergoing IPS training in Hyderabad (AIR 236).

The Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority (JNPA), a leading container handling Port in India, marked a significant milestone today in its journey towards sustainability with the announcement of its Zero Emission Trucking (ZET) initiative. The Chairman of JNPA, Unmesh Sharad Wagh, participated in a Round Table Convening on Zero Emission Trucking, an event aimed at fostering collaboration among stakeholders involved in designing and implementing ZET port pilots. This initiative underscores JNPA's commitment to reducing carbon emissions and improving air quality in and around its operations. Recognizing the critical role of decarbonizing truck movements, especially within port premises, JNPA has embarked on an ambitious plan to transition its truck fleet from diesel to electric power. Currently, the majority of trucks operating within JNPA run on diesel, contributing to emissions and pollution. By transitioning to Zero Emission Trucks (ZETs), JNPA aims to achieve its vision of a fully electrified port, aligning with national sustainability goals such as the Harit Sagar guidelines and MIV 2030. JNPA is actively incorporating green energy for terminal operations and replacing diesel-operated Internal Terminal Vehicles (ITVs) with Electric ITVs (E-ITVs) to further reduce carbon emissions. The 15+ trucks plying on ITRHO handling Inter Terminal Rail Operations will be converted to E-ITVs within the next six months, followed by the conversion of 400+ diesel-operated trucks moving within terminals for the vessel and yard operations will be converted to E-ITVs within 2-3 years. Moreover 6500+ trucks plying from Terminals to Container Freight Stations and vice-versa including the Centralized Parking Plaza Trucks moving to Terminals within 3-5 years. Expressing his delight, Unmesh Sharad Wagh IRS, Chairman of JNPA, commented, “ The journey towards sustainability requires proactive measures and collaborative efforts. Zero Emission Trucks represent not just a technological advancement but a strategic imperative in our pursuit of a greener future. By embracing ZETs as well as providing the supporting infrastructure required for charging stations inside the Port area, we are not only aligning with national sustainability agendas but also reducing environmental footprint.” JNPA's Zero Emission Trucking initiative represents a significant step towards achieving a sustainable, environmentally friendly port operation while contributing to India's broader sustainability goals. In its pursuit of sustainability, JNPA has also prioritized the use of Green Energy for Terminal operations, further reducing carbon emissions within the port. With these initiatives, JNPA reaffirms its commitment to environmental responsibility while driving innovation and efficiency in port operations. The transition to Zero Emission Trucks marks a pivotal step towards a cleaner, greener future for the port and surrounding communities.

A leader needed from south to become PM
These things are all hoax, wait for delimitation at least. A leader needed from TN or Kerala who should be well versed in Hindi too. There will be a good chance for him to become the candidate for PM from BJP.

RTI Application and First Appeal filed by separate individuals
Mr. Shamim Alam filed an RTI application seeking information in relation to Non-Judicial stamp paper of the Denomination of Rupees 10 bearing a distinct number. The PIO replied that the disclosure of the sensitive details of the stamp paper(s) would adversely affect the economic interest of the country and would not serve any larger public interest. The information was denied by seeking exemption under Section 8(1)(a), 8(1)(j) of the RTI Act, 2005. First Appeal was filed by Mr. Shakil Ahmed as a Special Power of Attorney (SPA) holder of the Mr. Shamim Alam which was rejected by FAA. Upon a remark by the CIC during second appeal regarding the appropriateness of the FAA’s order in having rejected the First Appeal filed under SPA by Shakil Ahmed, the Representative of the Appellant feebly stated that the erroneous First Appeal stands rectified as the Second Appeal has been filed by Shamim Alam only. The CIC observed that the FAA has appropriately rejected the First Appeal as being not maintainable as the RTI Application and First Appeal are filed by separate individuals. Further, since the channel of First Appeal has not been properly exhausted by the Appellant, the instant second appeal is also not maintainable.
Comments
As far as possible, a person who desires an information should file the RTI application and appeal under his / her own name and signature.
