7 FUN FACT AAJ KA GYAN PART 1 The world s largest airport terminal under one roof has officially been opened in Istanbul on October 29, which marks the Republic Day of Turkey. It is dubbed as phase-1a of the project Istanbul New Airport will have a capacity to handle 90 million passenger per year. The first phase has costed 7.5 billion Euro. The airport has been envisioned to have a total capacity of up to 200 million passengers, once all four phases are completed in the next 10 years. The new terminal once fully functional by December-end will allow passengers to use its five pier blocks as well as 77 boarding gates and 143 aero-bridges. The new airport is located near the Black Sea coast on the Europe side of Istanbul. It features two runways, while 114 narrow body aircraft can dock with the terminal building at the same time. This new airport is also slated to become Turkish Airlines new hub. PART 2 Yeshwant Deo (91), the veteran Marathi musician, has passed away recently in Dadar, Maharashtra on October 31, He had composed music for many films including Shabana Azmi-starrer Saaz. Born on 1st November 1926, Deo was a revered figure in the Marathi music circle and industry where he composed music for more than 40 Marathi films and plays. He worked in All India Radio (AIR) as a sitar player. A recipient of the Lata Mangeshkar award, Yeshwant was also known for his composition in Bhav Geet. He won several awards such as Maharashtra state award for music direction for the play Amrapali (1974). He also published books on devotional music.

9 Choked by smog: on air pollution Air pollution is choking several cities in the northern States once again, as changes in temperature and slowing winds trap soot, dust and fine particulate matter. The National Capital Region is badly hit, as the burning of agricultural residue in Punjab and Haryana is releasing large volumes of smoke containing, among other pollutants, highly damaging fine particulates, or PM2.5. The problem is aggravated by the burning of urban waste, diesel soot, vehicular exhaust, road and construction dust, and power generation. Although India has nine of the 10 most polluted cities in the world, it has not taken consistent action on pollution. Tens of millions live with ambient air quality that is well short of even the relaxed parameters the country has set for fine particulates, compared with those of the World Health Organisation. India should at least now give high importance to the WHO warning about air pollution being the new tobacco.

10 CONTINUE This year s severe air quality rating for Delhi and poor conditions prevailing in other cities in the Indo-Gangetic Plain should compel a decisive shift in policy. The Centre and the State governments need to get into crisis mode to dramatically reduce emissions. They must address the burning of carbon, which is a direct source, and emissions with oxides of nitrogen and sulphur from vehicles that turn into fine particulates through atmospheric reactions. Failure to take sustainable and urgent measures will inflict long-term harm on public health, affecting children even more by putting them at higher risk for diseases. The UN Environment Programme s recent report titled Air Pollution in Asia and the Pacific: Science-Based Solutions has sounded a warning, pointing out that only 8% of the population in the countries of the region get to breathe air of acceptable quality.

11 CONCLUSION One study of degradation of Delhi s air over a 10-year period beginning 2000 estimated premature mortality to have risen by as much as 60%. With the steady growth in the population of the capital and other cities, the trauma is set to worsen. Farm stubble burning is a major contributor to the problem, and its footprint may be growing because of wider use of mechanical harvesters that is producing more waste. An innovative approach could be to use climate change funds to turn farm residues into a resource, using technological options such as converting them into biofuels and fertilizers. From an urban development perspective, large cities should reorient their investments to prioritise public transport, favouring electric mobility. The World Bank has said it is keen to enhance its lending portfolio to tackle air pollution, opening a new avenue for this. Governments should make the use of personal vehicles in cities less attractive through strict road pricing mechanisms. Sharply escalated, deterrent parking fees can be implemented. If governments delay action on the critical issue of pollution control, public pressure must force them to act.

13 India protests China-Pakistan bus via PoK China says move part of CPEC, doesn t reflect Beijing s position on Kashmir India on Thursday reiterated its opposition to a proposed luxury bus service between Pakistan and China that would pass through parts of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan territory that India claims terming it a violation of India s sovereignty, a day after it had summoned a Chinese diplomat to South Block to lodge a strong protest against the initiative. We have lodged strong protests with China and Pakistan on the proposed bus service that will operate through areas of Pakistan Occupied Jammu and Kashmir State under the so-called China- Pakistan Economic Corridor, the spokesperson for the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) told reporters. Any such bus service through Pakistan Occupied Jammu & Kashmir State will be a violation of India s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

14 CONTINUE India urges cancellation A Director in the MEA had delivered a note verbale to a Counselor in the Chinese Embassy on Wednesday, urging the cancellation of the bus service that is due to start on November 3, said an official, who spoke on condition of anonymity. Both Beijing and Islamabad responded to New Delhi s protests. While China asserted that the bus service from Lahore to Tashkurgan in Xinjiang timed to begin when Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan will be visiting Beijing did not alter the country s stance on the Kashmir issue, Pakistan dismissed India s objections as frivolous. As for the bus service, I have not heard of the relevant information and I have not heard of complaints, Lu Kang, China s foreign ministry spokesperson, said at the ministry s regular briefing, when asked about India s protest against the move. Mr. Lu stressed that the CPEC was an economic project, and did not reflect China s position on Kashmir. It is an economic cooperation project between China and Pakistan and not targeted at any third party. It has nothing to do with the territorial dispute and it will not affect China s principled position on the issue of Kashmir, Mr. Lu observed.

15 CONCLUSION Red carpet China is preparing to roll out the red carpet for Mr. Khan, who is set to arrive in Beijing on Friday, and would be formally welcomed at the Great Hall of the People on Saturday. Reacting to India s statement, the spokesperson for Pakistan s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said: India s repeated regurgitation of claims over Indian Occupied Kashmir can neither change the facts of history nor the legality of the Jammu & Kashmir dispute. India has consistently opposed the 1963 China-Pakistan Boundary Agreement that recognises PoK as under actual Pakistani control without prejudicing a final dispute resolution with India, and India has protested the Karakoram Highway on which traffic has been plying regularly, as well as subsequent infrastructure projects built by China in the disputed area. Asked on Thursday if India s strong objection to the bus service indicates a toughening of position, the MEA spokesperson, however, declined to comment.
