One such attempt to maintain harmony between center and state is the creation of an office of governor in every state. [4] The offices for governance were created and assigned power following this arrangement during formation.One such office is the governor's office, which is the outcome of this more unitary version. This has given unbridled power in the hands of the central government and has become a significant threat to Indian federalism. However, today the Governor's office has become an easy tool for the center to use against the state government.

Delhi Coaching Incident: 'बहुत ताकतवर हैं कोचिंग सेंटर संचालक, नकेल कसना मुश्किल'; हादसे पर फूटा छात्रों का गुस्सा
छात्रों का कहना है कि घटना होने से कोचिंग सेंटरों की मनमानी सामने आई है। लेकिन, अभी तक किसी भी बड़े संचालक ने कोई बयान नहीं दिया है। अब वे इतने ताकतवर हो चुके हैं कि उन पर सीधे तौर पर नकेल कसना प्रशासन के बस में नहीं लगता।उदय जगताप, नई दिल्ली। ओल्ड राजेंद्र नगर में हुए हादसे के बाद छात्रों का गुस्सा शांत नहीं हो रहा है। अब तक की जांच और कार्रवाई से वे संतुष्ट नहीं हैं। उनका प्रदर्शन घटना के तीसरे दिन भी जारी है।दिल्ली के एक छात्र अभिमन्यु गर्ग ने कहा, 26 जून को एक छात्र ने एमसीडी में राव कोचिंग सेंटर की शिकायत की थी। बेसमेंट में बगैर एनओसी और अनुमति कक्षाएं संचालित होने की बात स्पष्ट तौर पर शिकायत में उल्लेखित की थी, लेकिन एमसीडी ने उस पर कोई संज्ञान नहीं लिया, और इतना बड़ा हादसा हो गया।इसकी वजह कोचिंग सेंटर संचालकों की अकूत दौलत और ताकत है। कई संचालक अब सेलिब्रिटी बन चुके हैं। करोड़ों रुपये की गाड़ियों में घूमते हैं। इतना बड़ा हादसा होने के बावजूद उन्होंने सार्वजनिक रूप से कोई बयान नहीं दिया है।Delhi Coaching Incident: आधे घंटे की बारिश से लापरवाह सिस्टम में डूबीं तीन जिंदगियां, जलभराव से अंजान थे अभ्यर्थीअभिमन्यु ने कहा, तेलंगाना में एक छोटे से कोचिंग सेंटर ने आईएएस अधिकारी पर मानहानि का मुकदमा दर्ज करा रखा है। सिविल कोर्ट में वह केस लड़ रही हैं। 2020 में वे आईएएस में चयनित हुई थीं। 2023 में उनकी 15वीं रैंक थी।उन्होंने सिर्फ इतना कहा था कि जनरल स्टडी के सिर्फ दो पेपर ही उन्होंने कोचिंग सेंटर से पढ़े हैं। अभिमन्यु ने कहा, तेलंगाना के कोचिंग सेंटर एक आईएएस के खिलाफ शिकायत कर सकते हैं, तो दिल्ली के कोचिंग सेंटर संचालकों से छात्र सीधा मुकाबला कैसे कर सकते हैं। फीस को लेकर कोई नियम नहीं हैं और सिर्फ सी सेट की तैयारी के दो-दो लाख रुपये ले लिए जाते हैं।एक साल की तैयारी में छात्र को चार लाख रुपये तक खर्च करने पड़ते हैं। लेकिन, उनकी सुरक्षा के इंतजाम तक नहीं होते। अधिकतर कोचिंग और पुस्तकालयों में न फायर एग्जिट हैं और न आपातकालीन मार्ग। पुणे के रहने वाले एक छात्र संकेत ने कहा, सरकारों को आपस में समन्वय बनाकर इन कोचिंग सेंटर संचालकों को कार्रवाई की जद में लाना चाहिए। संस्थानों की एजेंसियों द्वारा जांच करानी चाहिए।मुखर्जी नगर में भी युवाओं ने किया जोरदार प्रदर्शनविद्यार्थियों ने विभिन्न मार्गों से जुलूस निकाल कर प्रदर्शन किया। पुलिस देर रात तक छात्रों को मनाने का प्रयास करती रही। सोमवार रात सात बजे नेहरू विहार के सेंट्रल पार्क में विद्यार्थियों ने राजेंद्र नगर में हादसे में जान गंवाने वाले अपने तीन साथियों को श्रद्धांजलि दी। इसके बाद यहां से कैंडल मार्च शुरू हुआ। युवा वर्धमान माल से होते हुए सिग्नेचर व्यू अपार्टमेंट चौक पर पहुंचे। यहां कैंडल मार्च प्रदर्शन में बदल गया।

BHPian arrested because he drove his Force Gurkha on a flooded street | Delhi coaching class case
Fuldagap BHPianJoin Date: Apr 2011 Location: -- Posts: 297 Thanked: 1,725 Timesre: BHPian arrested because he drove his Force Gurkha on a flooded street | Delhi coaching class case There is absolutely no fault of the Gurkha owner. The lives lost cannot come back but atleast the live ones don't get entangled into something totally outrageous and unjustified. The water was previously not able to enter the library because of the blockage created by the glass door. The SUV owner is in no way responsible. But media seems to habe been taking the tone of incriminating the SUV owner.

Lifting the six-decade-old ‘ban’ on government employees taking part in the activities of RSS is a retrograde step
Lifting the six-decade-old ‘ban’ on government employees taking part in the activities of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) is a retrograde step, making a mockery of Sardar Vallabhai’s vision of the role of civil services in IndiaToShri Rajiv GaubaCabinet SecretaryGovernment of IndiaI write this letter with a feeling of anguish and distress at a disturbing news report(://indianexpress.com/article/india/ban-govt-employees-in-rss-activities-removed-cong-bjp-9467790/) that the Department of Personnel (Government of India) abruptly lifted the six-decade-old “ban” on government employees taking part in the activities of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). If what has been reported is factually correct, the said order makes a mockery of the vision of Sardar Vallabhai Patel, the architect of the civil services in India, of the role expected of civil services in the country. Now that the RSS has gained a strong presence in politics, does the latest order of the government represent the present political executive’s endeavour to extend such a presence among the country’s civil services also? To depart from the path of rectitude in either of these respects is to debase public service and to lower its dignity. Is the latest memo on civil servants a part of an orchestrated attempt of the political establishment today to politicise institutions one by one, systematically?

CARACAS, Venezuela — Venezuela faced a political standstill Monday after both incumbent President Nicolás Maduro and the country's main opposition coalition claimed victory in Sunday's presidential election. Venezuela: What’s next now that Maduro was declared winner but vote tallies have yet to be releasedMaduro considers the results of the election a settled matter. The National Electoral Council said Maduro secured 51% of the vote while González garnered 44%. Hours later, National Electoral Council President Elvis Amoroso formally declared Maduro as the winner, but the electoral body's website was down, and it remained unclear when the tallies would be available. Before Amoroso had announced results, some opposition supporters who believed González would be declared winner had begun shouting the well-known chat but in past tense.

Her Easy Happy Laughter and Joie de Vivre Must be Driving Them Nuts
As we were checking out we overhead a couple of people in our still relatively rural and still very red county in the next line complaining about Vice President Harris and her exuberant laughter. “How can such a person be taken seriously?” seemed to be the basis of their conversation. Margaret Thatcher? Who wants dour Margaret Thatcher when you can have a joyful exuberant lady named after the mother goddess(Devi) of all deities in the Hindu pantheon? Is this some kind of an emerging new “talking point” or “attack line” from Republicans?

Russia's Wagner admits severe losses in Mali battles
Russia's Wagner mercenary group said on Monday it had suffered severe losses, including a commander, during battles with separatist forces in northeast Mali last week. The West African nation, which has been actively fighting insurgent jihadist and separatist forces in its north for over a decade, turned to Wagner for support after a military junta came to power in 2020. From July 22 to 27, the Malian armed forces and fighters from Wagner's 13th Assault Squad "fought fierce battles" against a coalition of Tuareg separatist forces and jihadist militants, according to a statement from Razgruzka Vagnera, a Telegram channel linked to Wagner's leadership. A spokesman for the CSP-DPA alliance, a coalition including mainly Tuareg separatist forces, claimed victory over Mali's army and Wagner on Sunday. Mali's military leaders, who seized power in a coup, have made it a stated priority to retake the entire country from separatist and jihadist forces, particularly Kidal, a pro-independence bastion in the north.
