No Need to Ban Petrol, Diesel Vehicles as EVs Gaining Momentum: Nitin Gadkari

Allaying fears of the automobile industry, Union Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari, on September 23, said that there is no need to ban petrol and diesel vehicles as electric mobility has picked up momentum on its own and all buses would be electric in two years. Earlier, government think-tank Niti Aayog had reportedly proposed that after 2030, only electric vehicles (EVs) should be sold in India. Later, Union ministers, including Petroleum Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, tried to allay the fear of automobile manufactures in the country by denying that. A panel headed by Niti Aayog Chief Executive Officer Amitabh Kant had earlier suggested that only EVs (three-wheelers and two-wheelers) with an engine capacity of up to 150cc should be sold from 2025 onwards. "I always talk about EVs such as cars, bikes, and buses. Now, it has started naturally. There is no need to make it mandatory. There is no need to ban petrol and diesel vehicles. In the next two years, all buses

This Kerala Cop Let Go Of Her 'Rapunzel' Hair For Cancer Patients

Senior civil police officer Aparna Lavakumar did what a lot may shudder even thinking of. She let go of her Rapunzel-like hair at the drop of a hat. She has no regrets though; all she wanted was to restore smiles on a few faces that battle the odds of cancer. Aparna, a senior police officer at the all-women police station in Irinjalakuda in Thrissur, Kerala, got her head tonsured and donated her knee-length hair so it can be turned into wigs for cancer patients. Three years ago, she donated her hair for the first time. But this time around, Aparna wanted to go all out and do the maximum. Aparna didn't tell anyone about her plans except for the authorities to get permission. “Had I told someone in advance, some deterrent might have occurred. So I walked straight into a salon. After all, I do not consider this a big deal. People do greater things than this. I am not in a position to help anyone financially. This is my bit to help the needy," Aparna told  News18 .

Investi-Gator: World's First Ever Crocodile Spotting Drones Launched to Detect the Reptiles

Australia's rugged crocodile country could become safer thanks to world-first drones which were given a test flight Thursday. The high-tech drones known as "croc spotters" were tested near Cairns, Queensland, patrolling along riverbeds and detecting animals as they went. Armed with what designers say is a world-first artificial intelligence algorithm, they can identify the reptiles in creeks, rivers and beaches. Despite the animals' formidable reputation, attacks from freshwater and saltwater crocodiles on humans are relatively rare in Australia. But five attacks in Queensland's touristic north in 2017-2018, including two fatal attacks, and unusual sightings more than 40 kilometres inland had authorities concerned. The technological solution came from adapting newly developed shark-spotting drones to detect a different kind of apex predator. As the pilot operates the drone, the algorithm scans the video and sends an alert back to the pilot if

HTX Male Enhancement

Where can teachers nab accomplished HTX Male Enhancement things? This is precisely what I'm going to do now. I'd love to get your feelings on what I've written. I couldn't probably disagree with them less. We'll propel this opinion forward. I, gravely, can fathom it. I know, here is what it is. It's certainly an interesting theory. How do top dogs encounter prime natural weight loss hand-outs? Under these circumstances, this tastes like chicken. That is type of lame. I've been using your trouble over the last week and have found it to be quite nice. This is the outstanding truth in the matter of new arrivals using it. This is not the same old how to lose weight you're use to. That helps make plain why the sale of that rose 10% last year. They know how to get that proposal.
