  • China Is Trying Harder To Increase Birth Rates While Population Continues To Decline

    China Is Trying Harder To Increase Birth Rates While Population Continues To Decline

    The decrease from the previous year was more than twice as high as the one recorded for 2022, when the nation’s population fell for the first time since 1960, losing 850,000 people.

    Beijing: As the nation struggles with an impending demographic crisis, China’s population drop picked up speed in 2023, according to official figures released on Wednesday. This continued the country’s downward trend after more than 60 years of development.
    After India surpassed China as the most populous nation in the world last year, Beijing is now rushing to increase declining birth rates through pro-fertility rhetoric and subsidies.

    “By the end of 2023, the national population was 1,409.67 million… a decrease of 2.08 million over that at the end of 2022,” the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) in Beijing announced on Wednesday 2023.

    Last year’s decline was more than double the fall reported for 2022, when the country lost 850,000 people as its population shrank for the first time since 1960.

    “In 2023, the number of births was 9.02 million with a birth rate of 6.39 per thousand,” the NBS said Wednesday, down from 9.56 million births in 2022.

    China ended its strict “one-child policy”, imposed in the 1980s amid overpopulation fears, in 2016 and started letting couples have three children in 2021.

    But that has failed to reverse the demographic decline for a country that has long relied on its vast workforce as a driver of economic growth.

    Many attribute the decline in birth rates to the rising expense of living and the rising proportion of women entering the labour and pursuing higher education.

    He Yafu, an independent Chinese demographer, told AFP that it is “basically impossible to reverse the trend of China’s population decline.”

    “Even if fertility is encouraged, it is impossible for China’s fertility rate to rise to replacement level, because now the younger generation has fundamentally changed its conception of fertility and is generally unwilling to have more children,” said He.

  • Expulsion of Iran’s ambassador from Pakistan due to airstrike: “We reserve the right to respond”

    Expulsion of Iran’s ambassador from Pakistan due to airstrike: “We reserve the right to respond”

    Iran Attack in Pakistan: At a time when regional conflict is on the rise, Tehran and its nuclear-armed neighbour faced a diplomatic crisis as a result of Iran’s strike.

    The foreign ministry of Pakistan described the strike as a “illegal and unacceptable act” after Iran used drones and missiles to target two bases used by Jaish al-Adl militants in the Balochistan province. This led to a diplomatic crisis between Tehran and its nuclear-armed neighbour at a time when regional conflict was on the rise.

    Amid tensions created by the Middle East conflict between Israel and Hamas, Pakistan became the second neighbour of Iran to report an attack on its territory in a single day. Pakistan’s foreign ministry stated that the country reserves the right to respond. Iraq had earlier denounced a lethal missile assault carried out by Iran in retribution for the death of an Iranian commander in Syria, which targeted an Israeli spy camp in Iraqi Kurdistan.

    Additionally, Pakistan withdrew its ambassador from Iran and prevented the envoy from Tehran from coming back to Islamabad.

    “Last night’s unprovoked and blatant breach of Pakistan’s sovereignty by Iran is a violation of international law and the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations,” the ministry of foreign affairs stated.

    In protest of the “unprovoked violation of its airspace by Iran and the strike inside Pakistani territory” that left two children dead and three others injured, Pakistan’s minister of foreign affairs called the Iranian charge d’affaires. Iran has full responsibility for the ensuing fallout. Such unilateral actions can gravely damage bilateral trust and confidence and are not consistent with good neighbourly relations, the statement stated.

    “We have to seek talks to eliminate the root causes of the issue, whether ungoverned spaces in Iran which are used against Pakistan or ungoverned spaces in Pakistan which may be used by terrorists against Iran,” stated Mushahid Hussain Sayed, the chairman of the defence committee of the Pakistani Senate.

    How did Iran respond to the strikes?
    Iran said that the insurgent organisation Jaish al-Adl, which has expanded over Afghanistan, Iran, and Pakistan and aspires to an independent Balochistan, was targeting bases with its paramilitary Revolutionary Guard. Six drones and rockets carrying bombs targeted houses where the gang claimed to have their family.

    “We urge the two sides to exercise restraint, avoid any actions that escalate the tensions, and jointly safeguard peace and stability in the region,” China said in response to the escalation of hostilities.

    Mumbai News: A betrayed lover murders a woman and commits suicide In Navi Mumbai, Body found after a month.

    Vaishnavi Babar, a 19-year-old college student, was discovered dead in the Kharghar Hills bushes in Navi Mumbai.

  • Bilkis Bano Case: Rape convicts in the Bilkis Bano case petition the Supreme Court for an extension of time to surrender, citing their poor health.

    Bilkis Bano Case: Rape convicts in the Bilkis Bano case petition the Supreme Court for an extension of time to surrender, citing their poor health.

    On January 8, the Supreme Court issued an order for the prisoners to appear before the jail administration in two weeks.

    Govindhbhai Nai, a prisoner in the Bilkis Bano gang rape case, has petitioned the Supreme Court to be given an extra four weeks to turn himself in to the relevant jail authorities.

    Nai and ten other prisoners were given a two-week deadline by the Supreme Court to turn themselves in to the jail administration on January 8.

    In his appeal for an extension, Nai mentioned his poor health as well as his household duties.

    Nai’s father is reliant on him and confined to bed, according to the appeal.

    In addition, he disclosed that he recently had an angiography and still needs to have another procedure to treat “haemorrhoids.”

    The eleven defendants in front of the supreme court were found guilty of killing Bilkis Bano’s family members and raping her during the 2002 Gujarat riots.

    These prisoners were freed early from prison on August 14, 2023, the eve of Independence Day, without having to serve out the remainder of their term.

    Following a May 2022 ruling by the Supreme Court holding that a remission application should be reviewed in accordance with the policies of the State where the crime was committed—Gujarat in this case—rather than the State where the trial was held, the Gujarat government approved the remission of their sentence.

    Even though the case’s trial was held in Maharashtra, the Gujarati government used its remission policy in accordance with that ruling to free the guilty.

    Several petitioners, including Bano, contested the Gujarat government’s judgement before the highest court.

    On January 8, a bench of Justices BV Nagarathna and Ujjal Bhuyan of the Supreme Court invalidated the remission that the Gujarati government had given them. It came to the conclusion that the Gujarati government lacked the authority to grant these eleven prisoners remission under its policy.

    Thus, it ordered all eleven to turn themselves in within two weeks.

    Update: Two more prisoners have petitioned the Supreme Court to extend their deadline for turning themselves in.

    Ramesh Rupabhai Chandana, a convicted felon, has requested an additional six weeks to extend his sentence, citing the need to marry his son and meet his obligations.

    In addition, convicted felon Mitesh Chimanlal Bhat has requested a six-week extension, claiming that his winter produce is ready for harvesting and that he would prefer to finish the process before turning himself in.

    Mahendra Singh Dhoni Sued in Delhi High court, Former Business partner files a defamation lawsuit against Former India Captain.

    Ranchi: Cricket player Mahendra Singh Dhoni is embroiled in a defamation lawsuit that his two former business partners, Soumya Das and Mihir Diwakar, have brought in the Delhi High Court. According to the petition, Dhoni and those posing as his representatives have made baseless claims that have seriously damaged the plaintiffs’ reputation and been extensively publicised.

    MSD

    Dhoni has previously played with Mihir Diwakar, a former Ranji player who was a part of India’s Under-19 squad in 2000. The married couple Mihir and Soumya run a business together called Arka Sports Management. The agreement between their company and Mahendra Singh Dhoni to launch a cricket academy with a global reach is the source of the legal issue.
    When Dhoni filed a lawsuit in the Ranchi court with the help of his buddy and agent Seemant Lohani, the matter got even more heated. The cricket player accused Arka Sports Management directors Mihir Diwakar and Soumya Das of breaking their contract and committing a Rs. 15 crore fraud.

    Mihir Diwakar and Soumya Das have chosen to take legal action in reaction to these accusations, choosing to bring a defamation case against Dhoni at the Delhi High Court.

    Jharkhand News: Government to abolish the posts of trained Urdu teachers causing state wide protests

    The state’s primary schools have seen protests from the teachers union against the elimination of Urdu teaching positions. The Intermediate Trained Assistant Teacher or Intermediate Urdu Trained Teacher posts are 100% moribund cadre (abolished), and the Graduate Trained Assistant Teacher Cadre is 50% moribund cadre (filled by direct appointment), according to a recent letter from the Directorate of Primary Education regarding teacher promotions. The story has been told. The Jharkhand State Urdu Teachers Association’s Central General Secretary, Amin Ahmed, stated that Urdu teacher positions were established during Bihar’s unification.

    Following the state’s creation, Jharkhand had 4401 teaching positions. Just 689 of these positions were filled by teachers. Teachers will no longer be appointed to open positions; instead, the position is being eliminated. He claimed that the government had changed these positions from being plan items to non-plan items the previous year. The position has since been eliminated. Shehzad Anwar, the union’s state spokesperson, threatened to start a statewide agitation if the department did not rescind its decision to eliminate the positions of Urdu teachers.

    Protest led by Anjuman Taraqqui Urdu Jharkhand against the Jharkhand government’s unconstitutional decision to eliminate the positions of qualified Urdu teachers in Simdega, Giridih, Gumla, and other locations.It will go on until the arbitrary orders that were only enforced in Urdu are removed.

  • Ranchi News: Controversy breaks out, As Banna Gupta personally selects the secretary of the health department.

    Ranchi News: Controversy breaks out, As Banna Gupta personally selects the secretary of the health department.

    Ranchi: According to a viral letter pad doing the rounds on social media, Jharkhand’s State Health Minister, Banna Gupta, has unexpectedly stirred up controversy by personally reinstating the Secretary of his department.
    Minister Banna Gupta’s letter states that IAS Alok Trivedi, who is now the Campaign Director, will take on further duties as the Health Department Secretary until further directives.

    Concerned by the action, former minister and MLA Saryu Roy said on social media, “Your respected Congress Minister Banna Gupta has issued a memorandum notification, which is incorrect,” in an address to Chief Minister Hemant Soren. Call it off right now. The Chief Minister is the only one with this authority. The Chief Secretary is given this ad hoc authority by the Executive Rules, but only for a maximum of 30 days.

    IAS Alok Trivedi may decide not to assume leadership as Health Secretary in the absence of an official personnel notification, according to sources. The minister’s letter pad is called into question, and it is suggested that it cannot be regarded as an official government directive.
    After Arun Kumar retired on December 31, 2023, the post of Health Secretary became vacant. The charge was personally given to IAS Alok Trivedi by Health Minister Banna Gupta, a decision that has drawn criticism. However, Minister Gupta disputes the appointment’s validity, saying that such acts are improper.
