And, now time for our segment DATELINE INDIA in which we take a look at the developments taking place the national or global level. Today we will talk about the HEATWAVE
The temperatures are rising to record levels not only in India, but across the world. One should take care of their health and be aware of symptoms and precautions to avoid any heat-related illness. According to the India Meteorological Department, the temperature in the national capital and surrounding areas has reached close to 50 degrees. Amid this heatwave, each individual should be aware of the complications caused by heat and some preventive measures to keep themselves safe. Cases of heatstroke are very common not just during the day but at night as well and several people have lost their lives due to the temperature rise.
देश के पूर्वी भारत के राज्यों में मौसम के तापमान का मीटर लगातार बढ़ रहा
है। सूरज की किरणें जमीन को तपा रही हैं, जिससे मिट्टी सूखकर धूल हुए जा रही है। हवाओं में की तासीर अब नरम की बजाय गर्म हो चुकी है। लोगों के घरों में पानी की खपत बढ़ गई है। दो पहर में सड़कें वीरान रहने लगी हैं। कई राज्यों में पारा 45 डिग्री सेल्सियस तक पहुंच गया है। इसलिए लोगों को हीटवेव से यानी लू से सावधान रहने की सलाह दी गई है।
वहीं दूसरी ओर देश के पूर्वी और पूर्वोत्तर राज्यों में अत्यधिक बारिश अब परेशान करने लगी है. IMD ने अगले 3-5 दिनों के लिए असम, मेघालय और मणिपुर जैसे राज्यों के लिए बारिश का अलर्ट जारी किया गया है. बता दें कि, IMD ने उप-हिमालयी पश्चिम बंगाल और सिक्किम में 16-17 जून और उसके बाद 18-20 जून तक भारी से बहुत भारी वर्षा का अनुमान लगाया है. 20 जून तक अरुणाचल प्रदेश में भी भारी से बहुत भारी बारिश होने का अनुमान है. इसके साथ ही साथ मौसम विभाग ने तूफान के आसार जताते हुए मध्य प्रदेश के कुछ हिस्सों के लिए ऑरेंज अलर्ट भी जारी किया गया है.
Now lets talk about Heatstroke.
Heatstroke is a condition caused by overheating of the body due to prolonged exposure to high temperatures or excessive physical work in the hot sun. The heat-related problems occur when body temperature goes beyond 40 degrees Celsius which is very common during summer.
Heatstroke is an emergency situation which demands immediate treatment and can damage vital organs like the kidney, heart, liver and brain. If the treatment is delayed, it can cause serious complications leading to ICU hospitalisation or even death.
In case someone is experiencing symptoms of heat exhaustion, it becomes essential to get them out of the heat and rest, preferably in an air-conditioned room.
कैसे बनती है हीटवेव?
आमतौर पर ठहरी हुई हवा की वजह से हीट वेव बनती है। हाईप्रेशर सिस्टम हवा को नीचे की ओर ले जाती है। यह जमीन के पास हवा को बढ़ने से रोकती है। नीचे बहती हुई हवा किसी कटोरे की तरह काम करती है और गर्म को एक जगह पर जमा कर लेती है। ध्यान देने वाली बात यह है कि इसे रोकने के लिए कोई भी उपाय नहीं है।
हीटवेव से कैसे बचें?
गर्म हवाओं और लू से शरीर पर प्रतिकूल असर पड़ता है। इसलिए धूप में जाने से बचें।
पीने का पानी साथ में रखने की कोशिश करें। एसी से निकलकर सीधे गर्म धूप में न
निकलें।
अगर आपको धूप में निकलना जरूरी है, तो अपने सिर को सूती कपड़े से ढककर निकलें। हल्केरंगरं के आरामदायक कपड़े पहनें।
धूप से आकर कभी भी तुरंत ठंडा पानी पीने की गलती न करें।रे
शरीर को हमेशा हाइड्रेट रखें। आम पन्ना , जूस, नारियल पानी , नींबू पानी का सेवन करें।

Every year, the Goa Revolution Day is celebrated on June 18 to mark the day when the liberation struggle against Portuguese colonial rule began in the year 1946. The Goa locals celebrated it on 18th June in remembrance of their freedom fighters and their struggle for liberation. June 18 is recognised as Goa Revolution Day on account of the clarion call given by Ram Manohar Lohia on the day in 1946 to the people of Goa to unite and fight against the Portuguese rulers.
The Goa Revolution Day is one of the most defining events in the history of the State and is celebrated annually on June 18. It was on this day in 1946 that the people of the region of Goa started a mass revolution to take back their homeland from the Portuguese that finally culminated in the region’s independence from Portuguese rule on December 19, 1961.It is on 18th June 1946 evening that Dr Ram Manohar Lohia defied the ban and censorship of the colonial government and launched a Civil Disobedience Movement, producing one of those sparks that led to the ‘Beginning of the end of Portuguese Rule’ in Goa.
It is interesting to know that Dr Lohia had actually come to Goa on a break and he was residing at the Assolna home of Dr Julião Menezes. However, the moment he arrived here in Goa, he became restless on being given to understand the oppressive nature of the Portuguese towards many. Thus began a new defining phase of Goa’s freedom struggle that ended with the liberation of Goa, 15 years later on December 19, 1961.
It was after immense pressure from freedom fighters from Goa and India that the then central government took up ‘Operation Vijay’ and Goa got liberated from Portuguese rule in 1961 and became the last territory to be liberated from foreign rule in India. To celebrate this important day official functions at Azad Maidan,in Madgaon etc are arranged by the state government. Tushar Jadhav for Parikrama,Akashvani Panaji,Goa.

West Bengal government is making a long-term plan to arrest the increasing salinization of water-soil in the Sundarbans. Due to recent cyclones and heavy rains, river water has entered the village. As a result, agriculture and fisheries are disrupted. Public life is hampered. The state irrigation department is taking a three-pronged plan to curb this trend. Principal Secretary of the department Prabhat Kumar Mishra said, about 700 km of irrigation canals have been desilted to increase fresh water supply from the northern part of Sundarbans. Freshwater shrimp farming is being encouraged, instead of brackish water vannamei shrimp.
It has been said that proper infrastructure is being created to retain rain water under the ‘Jal Dharo Jal Bharo’ project. At the same time, the risk of flooding will be reduced in the coming days through the programme that has been taken to create mangroves in the Sundarbans with the financial support of the World Bank. The Irrigation Secretary expressed hope that it would help to de-salt the water in Sundarbans in the long term. He said, mangrove saplings are being planted on the earthen embankment of the river in a new way. This will enhance the water-holding capacity of that dam in manifold. West Bengal Pollution Control Board WBPCB chairman Kalyan Rudra said, Bengal is India in a microcosm. The rapid melting of Himalayan glaciers at 46cm per year, increasing sea-surface temperature and sea level rise at 7mm per year have left the state exposed to the worst consequences of climate change. The changing rainfall pattern has put a question mark even on the food security of the state, he added. Shri Rudra said, an ordinary resident of the Sundarbans contributes nothing to the world’s colossal carbon emission, yet bears the maximum brunt of the climate change. -Susmita Mandal, Akashvani Kolkata.

Sir Ahmed Salman Rushdie CH FRSL (born 19 June 1947) is an Indian-born British-American novelist. His work often combines magic realism with historical fiction and primarily deals with connections, disruptions, and migrations between Eastern and Western civilizations, typically set on the Indian subcontinent. Rushdie’s second novel, Midnight’s Children (1981), won the Booker Prize in 1981 and was deemed to be “the best novel of all winners” on two occasions, marking the 25th and the 40th anniversary of the prize.
After his fourth novel, The Satanic Verses (1988), Rushdie became the subject of several assassination attempts and death threats, including a fatwa calling for his death issued by Ruhollah Khomeini, the supreme leader of Iran. Numerous killings and bombings have been carried out by extremists who cite the book as motivation, sparking a debate about censorship and religiously motivated violence. In 2022, a man stabbed Rushdie after rushing onto the stage where the novelist was scheduled to deliver a lecture at the Chautauqua Institution in Chautauqua, New York.
In 1983, Rushdie was elected a fellow of the Royal Society of Literature. He was appointed a Commandeur de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres of France in 1999. Rushdie was knighted in 2007 for his services to literature. In 2008, The Times ranked him 13th on its list of the 50 greatest British writers since 1945. Since 2000, Rushdie has lived in the United States. He was named Distinguished Writer in Residence at the Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute of New York University in 2015. Earlier, he taught at Emory University. He was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters. In 2012, he published Joseph Anton: A Memoir, an account of his life in the wake of the events following The Satanic Verses. Rushdie was named one of the 100 most influential people in the world by Time magazine in April 2023. Throughout his life, Rushdie has had five marriages, four of which ended in divorce.

गुरु कर्मयोगी पं. माधवराव सप्रे का कृतित्व और अवदान कालजयी है। माधवराव सप्रे जी की कहानी ‘एक टोकरी भर मिट्टी’ को हिंदी की पहली कहानी होने का श्रेय प्राप्त है।
मराठी भाषी होने के बावजूद इन्होंने हिन्दी के विकास के लिए सतत कार्य किया। सन् 1905 में हिन्दी ग्रंथ प्रकाशक मंडल का गठन कर तत्कालीन विद्वानों के हिन्दी के उत्कृष्ठ रचनाओं व लेखों का प्रकाशन धारावाहिक ग्रंथमाला के रूप में आरंभ किया। इस ग्रंथमाला में पं. माधवराव सप्रे जी के मौलिक स्वदेशी आन्दोलन एवं बायकाट लेखमाला का भी प्रकाशन हुआ। इसकी लोकप्रियता को देखते हुए अंग्रेज़ सरकार ने सन् 1909 में इसे प्रतिबंधित कर प्रकाशित पुस्तकों को जब्त कर लिया। हिन्दी ग्रंथमाला के प्रकाशन से राष्ट्रव्यापी धूम मचाने के बाद पं. माधवराव सप्रे ने लोकमान्य बाल गंगाधर तिलक से अनुमति प्राप्त कर उनकी आमुख पत्रिका मराठा केसरी के अनुरूप ‘हिन्दी केसरी’ का प्रकाशन 13 अप्रैल 1907 को प्रारंभ किया। हिन्दी केसरी अपने स्वाभाविक उग्र तेवरों से प्रकाशित होता थी, जिसमें अंग्रेज़ी सरकार की दमन नीति, कालापानी, देश का दुर्देव, बम के गोले का रहस्य जैसे उत्तेजक लेख प्रकाशित होते थे, फलत: 22 अगस्त 1908 में पं. माधवराव सप्रे जी को गिरफ्तार कर लिया गया । तब तक सप्रे जी अपनी केन्द्रीय भूमिका में एक प्रखर पत्रकार के रूप में संपूर्ण देश में स्थापित हो चुके थे।
