World credibility on line over Syria

Shame on you,cowardly world! may well paraphrase President Barack Obamas feelings.
Amid almost universal reservations about US military strikes against Syria for its alleged use of chemical weapons,Obama took his case to the global stage,telling an international audience while on a stop over in Sweden,that the worlds credibility is on the line if it did not respond to Syrias use of chemical weapons,and that it was not he personally,but the international community that set a red line on the matter. In his most forceful argument to date on world stage,Obama,who is on his way to the G-20 summit in St Petersburg,almost taunted the world community by asking,Are we going to find a reason not to act And if thats the case,I think the world community should admit it. He explained that the world,not he personally,set a red line when governments representing 98% of the worlds population said the use of chemical arms are abhorrent and passed a treaty forbidding their use,even when countries are engaged in war. for full read...

Delhi Yamuna river takes shine off govt’s record

On a day the Congress set out to project Delhi's development over three terms as a poll plank for the assembly polls in November, chief minister Sheila Dikshit's show of prosperity lost lustre before the filth laden Yamuna. Admitting that 15 years later she felt dissatisfied with the condition of the river, the CM sought a fourth term to make the mark. It was the launch of the report on the government's achievements over 15 years and the CM found herself in a tight spot on the issues of pollution in the Yamuna and the gap in the water availability for the capital. She cited the water sharing dispute with Haryana as a hurdle in boosting water supply. About the Yamuna she said, "I am not satisfied with the condition of the river. . We must take measures so that the sewage of the city does not contaminate it. The interceptor sewer project is likely to be completed soon and should make a difference. We will set the river right in the next five years in power". for more read...

CAG slams ASI for neglect of world heritage sites

Neglect of world heritage sites and lack of an updated conservation policy are some of the main complaints against the Archaeological Survey of India in a recent CAG report. The report also says that ASI does not have a database for the total number of antiquities in its possession and 95% of artifacts in museums have never been on display. Since world heritage sites generate maximum revenue for ASI, they should have more visitor facilities, better conservation and improved security, the CAG report says. India has 19 world heritage sites of which three are in Delhi. However, it has been found that basic measures for security are missing as are public amenities. Encroachments and unauthorized constructions are rampant. for full read....
