With just 7 pc increase, Congress could win 150 seats in Karnataka: Survey

[ad_1]
The upcoming Karnataka Assembly elections have sparked controversy, with surveys conducted by the BJP and its frontal organizations indicating that a narrow margin of votes and a combined use of 13 percent Muslim votes could help the Congress win 150 seats, adding to the BJP’s woes.
The BJP leadership is throwing all its might in the elections, fearful of these revelations in the surveys. In the 2019 assembly elections, Congress obtained 31.50 percent of the total votes, and the Janata Dal-Secular managed to secure 4.87 percent of the votes, while the BJP secured 50.32 percent of the votes. However, if the votes are seen closely, Congress could win by a huge majority.
According to the India Today survey, a mere one percent increase in the Congress’s vote share will benefit three seats, while a 2 percent increase can add 12 seats to the Congress. The Congress, which secured 80 seats in the previous elections, can obtain 92 seats. If the Congress increases its vote share by 3 percent, it is likely to win 107 seats, an increase of 4 percent votes can make the Congress win 122 seats, while a 5 percent increase can help the Congress secure 139 seats. If the Congress manages to obtain an extra 7 percent votes i.e. 39 percent votes, it can win 150 seats.

Not only Muslims but also secular urban and Lingayat voters are fighting unitedly to prevent the BJP from winning the Karnataka elections. There is no trend among women to vote in favor of the BJP. In Karnataka, Muslim voters constitute 13 percent of the electorate, while Lingayats account for 17 percent of the population. If Muslims and Lingayats vote together in favor of the Congress, then the Congress can win a historic victory in the Karnataka Assembly elections.

Tiger numbers increase substantially in Shivalik Hills-Gangetic Plains: Govt report

[ad_1]
New Delhi: The tiger population has gone up in the Shivalik Hills-Gangetic Plains landscape, central India and the Sundarbans but their numbers have dwindled in the Western Ghats and the Northeast-Brahmaputra Plains due to habitat loss, fragmentation and poaching over the years, according to a government report released on Sunday.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi released the latest tiger numbers at a mega event being organised in Mysuru to mark the completion of 50 years of Project Tiger.
According to the data, the tiger population in the country increased from 2,967 in 2018 to 3,167 in 2022.

“The tiger population in the forest divisions of the Shivalik Hills and Gangetic Plains landscape has recorded a substantial increase with a total of 804 unique tigers being photographed, which is higher than the estimated population of 646 in 2018,” the “Status of Tigers Report 2022” said.
It said photographic evidence of tigers in new areas of Uttar Pradesh and Himachal Pradesh provides hope for range expansion.
“To ensure their long-term survival, it is necessary to supplement and repopulate the Shivalik Forest Division of Uttar Pradesh and increase protection for tigers in Suhelwa, and pay special attention to the genetically divergent population of Valmiki,” the report said.
It also said linear infrastructure projects on the congested corridor between western and eastern Rajaji have left the area “functionally extinct” for large carnivores and elephant movement, and the adoption of green infrastructure is needed to recover the tiger population in this fragmented landscape.
Additionally, Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh need to invest in mitigating conflicts between human beings and tigers and mega herbivores due to their increasing populations outside protected areas.

The data showed a “decrease in tiger occupancy throughout the Western Ghats”, except in a few areas like Kali (Anshi Dandeli). This was attributed to an “increasing overlap between wildlife and humans” in the region.
The area recorded 824 “unique tigers” in 2022 as compared to 981 in 2018, “indicating a decline in some regions and stability in well-protected tiger reserves”.
“While tiger populations within protected areas have either remained stable or increased, tiger occupancy outside of these regions has significantly decreased, such as in the Wayanad landscape, BRT Hills, and the border regions of Goa and Karnataka,” the report said.
The number of “distinctive tigers” captured on camera in the Northeastern Hills and Brahmaputra Plains landscape was 194 as compared to the estimated population of 219 tigers in 2018.
The report, however, said the tiger population in the region is “secure”.
“The tiger population of Northeast is genetically unique and is small in size, thus requiring intensive conservation efforts…. The region is currently facing several threats such as habitat loss, poaching and human-wildlife conflict, which necessitate increased conservation efforts,” it added.
Central India also saw an increase in the tiger population, with 1,161 tigers photographed as compared to an estimated population of 1,033 in 2018.
Tigers have occupied new areas in Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra, the report said.
However, it noted that the “local tiger population has become extinct in several areas, including tiger reserves like Kawal, Satkosia and Sahyadri”.
While the expansion of tiger habitats is a positive development, there is a need to pay attention and act quickly in these areas to reverse the trend of extinction of small populations and avoid negative human-tiger interactions, it said.
The report called for serious conservation efforts to help recover the tiger population in Jharkhand, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.
The images of 100 tigers were captured in the Sundarbans in 2022 as compared to a population of 88 in 2018.
Officials said the population is steady, with a limited potential to extend its range.
The tiger population and landscape are both threatened by biotic interference in the form of forest exploration, fishing, palm and timber extraction, and the expansion of waterways. To preserve the ecological integrity of the area, cross-border collaboration and knowledge exchange between India and Bangladesh are imperative, the report said.

7th Pay Commission Big Update– Salary Of Employees Will Be Increase With New Formula- Know Details – Kashmir News

[ad_1]
7th Pay Commission Latest Update: Though nothing has been confirmed as of now, speculations are rife that the Centre may announce another Dearness Allowance (DA) hike in July. Experts are assuming that DA may increase by 4% with the data of the past four months. However, the government might implement a new formula for the expected DA hike, said fresh reports which come days after Union Minister Anurag Thakur announced a 4% hike in dearness allowance for over 50 lakh Central government employees.

Sources in the ministry say that now a new pay commission will not come for the employees, rather their salary will be increased according to the performance of the employees. However, the government is still brainstorming on how this formula will work in future.
How will be the new formula-
The new formula to increase the salary of the employees has not been approved yet, but it is believed that it may be completely based on DA. According to sources, under the new formula, as soon as the DA of the employees increases by 50 percent, there will be an automatic increase in their salary. This can be named as automatic pay revision, which will benefit 68 lakh central employees and about 52 lakh pensioners.

Not the officers, but the employees will get big benefit.
The maximum benefit of this formula of the government will be given to the small level employees. However, the formula is yet to be finalised. But, it is believed that after the implementation of the new rule, the salary of low-level employees will increase more. Under this, the minimum basic pay of the employees of Level Matrix 1 to 5 will be Rs 21 thousand.
7th Pay Commission
In the month of July, 2016, AK Mathur headed the Seventh Pay Commission and submitted a report on it to Finance Minister Arun Jaitley. The report suggested a 23.55% hike in pay and allowances of government employees. If the 7th pay commission is implemented, government employees will benefit from a pay hike and other benefits.
The Government of India is planning to implement the 7th Pay Commission’s recommendations by January 2017. Uttar Pradesh has already approved the 7th Pay Commission and have announced that it will be implemented by January 2017.
