With climate change a real concern, the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has found that, since 1980, temperatures have been increasing in Punjab and Haryana while there is a decrease in rainfall in both states. The findings are based on the analysis of quantified data,collected over a 30 year period, from 1980 to 2010.
The data shows that in Punjab, there is a rise of 0.3 degrees Celsius to 0.9 degrees Celsius in maximum temperature and a 0.3 degrees Celsius to 1.2 degrees Celsius increase in minimum temperature over the last 30 years. In Haryana, there is a rise of 0.3 to 0.6 degrees Celsius in maximum temperature with no significant change in the minimum during the same period.
LONG LIVE ANNA HAZARE & HIS TEAM
ANNA HAZARE ! A GREAT SOUL OF MODERN INDIA IS STRIVING HARD TO GET THE PEOPLE OF INDIA THEIR RIGHTS IN UPHOLDING THEIR GRIEVENCES AGAINST CORRUPTION BY FOLLOWING THE FOOT-PRINTS OF MAHATMA GANDHI IN A PEACEFUL WAY. I JOIN HIS MOVEMENT FOR ERADICATING THE CORRUPTION AT ALL LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT OFFICES AND PAVE WAY FOR COMMON PEOPLE TO HAVE PEACEFUL LIFE WITH THEIR LEGITIMATE RIGHT TO LIVE AND WITHOUT ANY FEAR FROM THE RULING OR NON-RULING POLITICAL PARTIES.
INSTEAD OF CONTINUING FAST, MY HUMBLE SUGGESTION TO ANNA AND HIS TEAM IS TO TAKE A PROPOGANDA TOUR TO ALL OVER PLACES OF INDIA BY FOOT OR BY ANY MEANS OF TRANSPORT TO MEET THE PEOPLE AS GANDHIJI DID DURING ‘QUIT-INDIA MOVEMENT’ AGAINST BRITISH RULE. THIS WOULD FURTHER STRENGTHEN HIS MOVEMENT FOR VOICING AGAINST CORRUPTION AND GOVERNMENT WOULD KNEEL DOWN TO IMPLEMENT THE ‘JAN LOKPAL BILL’ AS EXPECTED BY ALL.
