How Corruption Has Weakened, Damaged Local Governing Bodies

Pooja YadavMay 6, 20220

Corruption could be a long-standing social issue persistent in India. From reportedly 51% of respondents from a survey admitted to paying bribes, to large industries like telecommunications and coal showing signs of corruption, for the economic benefits of citizens or corporations, corrupt practices are used. All the way back to post-independence India in 1951, the Industries Act required all operations to receive a license from the govt, which limited investments from foreign countries likewise as stifling competition, and ultimately led to bribery in politics being ubiquitous. While the Anticorruption Bureau of India was created in 1961 for the only purpose of fighting corruption, it still persists all throughout the country well into the 21st century. While there are many s...

Arpita SarkarMay 6, 20220

As Maoist activity increased in neighbouring states, including West Bengal, bomb squads were formed at four branches of the Eastern Railway for the safety of railway passengers. Allegedly, Eastern Railway dismantled the bomb squad in 2020 without the permission of the Railway Board. 65 trained workers working in those four branches were transferred. As a result of not using it for a long time, valuable equipment for identifying and deactivating bombs worth Rs. 20 crore is wasted. Due to the recent rise in Maoist activities in the neighbouring state, the Railway Board has written a letter to the state asking for the cancellation of all transfer orders and was also instructed to form a bomb squad again. After that, the officials of Eastern Railway started working. Param Shiv,...

Arpita SarkarMay 6, 20220

Once the tribunal declares someone an Indian citizen, there will be no second hearing on the question of his citizenship. This was stated by the Foreigners Tribunal Bench of the Gauhati High Court. In many cases since the introduction of the Assam Citizenship Act, notices have been sent to a person more than once to prove his citizenship, even once he has been declared an Indian.

Pooja YadavMay 4, 20220

Water is what sustains and supports life altogether and allows humans to prosper in life. In the absence of this natural gift and precious valuable resource, people begin to suffer. If we talk about India, 88 million people in the country lack access to safe drinking water. Many in India face droughts and are suffering. The explanation for this may be agriculture and therefore the government’s lack of action. Agriculture may be a big way that almost all people in India survive. Rice is more grown and requires more water. because it gets hotter and warmer, water begins to evaporate, requiring more water to grow. Rice is so water-demanding and other plants would offer food while needing less water, which brings into question why they grow rice. the solution happens to be money. ...
