- AC in the truck driver's cabin. Center's mandate to make it mandatory: A peek into the world of truck drivers

A general impression is that state transport buses, private vehicles or trains are mostly used for land travel, but jeeps, trucks, tampas, rickshaws and tractors are mostly used for road transport at small towns and villages. Despite the authorities' instructions not to carry tourists in trucks, many people have no choice but to travel by truck. Urban parents should make the new generation experience truck travel.

We are talking about trucks here today because the Union Ministry of Transport has announced that by 2025 the driver's cabin of all trucks should be compulsorily air-conditioned. If the government's idea is implemented, the truck operators will have to spend Rs 50,000 more per truck. Maintenance cost also increases.

An operator in Tamil Nadu's Namakkal, where around 50,000 trucks operate, says that the government's decision will result in lower truck mileage and more maintenance when the truck is idle.

The government has created a controversy by making AC mandatory in the cabins of truck drivers. Tata's new trucks come with AC cabins and include several amenities for the driver. Often the foreign copycat approach gets the government into trouble. The government is trying to do something new by building horizontal infrastructure, but does not plan to provide basic facilities. Many trucks are similar.

Many trucks on the Ahmedabad-Vadara Expressway do not have fluorescent radium strips behind them. Backlights, brake lights or side signaling lights are also not found in newer trucks. Many trucks do not have horns.

Commuters traveling on the express highway complain about the lack of lights on the back of the truck at the toll tax booth, but they do not get a definitive answer. Trucks parked in the middle of the highway as they do not have backlights are fatally hit by vehicles coming at full speed. Many people have lost their lives in such accidents.

If we look into the life of truck drivers, we realize that they lead a very insecure and difficult life. Truck drivers from states like Punjab and Haryana drive a single truck for fifteen days each. There are fixed spots on the highway to cater to their needs.

The cabin of the trucks has a cleaner's seat next to the driver and has adequate sleeping arrangements in the cabin itself, with the second driver sleeping snugly.

The additional income of short-haul truck drivers is due to tourists on the highway. Truck travel costs half as much as ST bus. Everyone knows that trucks are dangerous, but many travelers have no choice but to use them.

First of all, the government needs to strictly follow the existing laws for highways. There is death on the highway. No action is taken against highway hooliganism. After an accident, the injured do not get immediate treatment, that's okay, but there are also fights with lone travelers. Most hit-and-run cases occur on highways.

The Ahmedabad-Vadodara highway is still good, but the condition of highways towards Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Delhi is pathetic. Various stories are in vogue about the truck business. Like, it is said that if you want to trouble someone, get him a second-hand truck and start a transport business. On the other hand, transporters are constantly buying new trucks and expanding their business.

By decreeing that the driver's cabin of the truck should have a mandatory AC by 2025, the government has created an uproar. Truck operators are naturally protesting this government directive.

A sign of the second revolution in China after Mao's revolution

Image
- Inhumane atrocities on the people caused outrage as the communist leader himself lived in Ayyashi. - In almost all the big cities of China, people are holding violent protests and gradually these protests are turning into demands for democracy instead of lockdown protests. Political analysts believe that the cause of this protest may be the lockdown imposed due to Corona, but the real reason is the growing dissatisfaction and outrage against the communist regime of China. Due to the increasing cases of Corona in China, there has been a flare-up after the Chinese government imposed a zero covid policy. Under the zero covid policy, lockdown has been imposed in areas where corona cases are high. In big cities in China, people are not allowed to go out and are being forced to stay indoors. On November 25, due to the lockdown, a fire broke out in an apartment in Xinjiang, even though people were not allowed to go out in the name of lockdown, 10 people perished. Due to this incident, pe

Talk of Delhi: Reconciliation with Gehlot, Pilot supporters confused

Image
New Delhi: A meeting called by Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge to end the fight between Ashok Gehlot and Sachin Pilot in Rajasthan has left Pilot's supporters confused. After Ashok Gehlot and Sachin Pilot spoke to Rahul Gandhi for four hours at Mallikarjun Kharge's bungalow, it was announced that the two leaders would contest the next assembly elections together, but there was no crackdown on Pilot's demands. Pilot Vasundhara Raje sought to dissolve the Rajasthan Public Service Commission investigating government corruption and set up a high-level committee to restructure and compensate the unemployed affected by the paper leak. If these three demands are not met, they have warned of fierce agitation. The Gehlot government has not accepted any of the three demands, leaving PILOT supporters confused. Congress sources say that there is still a phase of dialogue between the two and this issue will be resolved. K.C. Venugopal has confirmed this. Cracks in Congress over

China's Insidious Privacy

Image
As many important countries as there are in the world, they are ruled by almost one-man show politicians. The kind of team leadership that was traditionally used to manage and manage huge countries now appears to be dying out. Due to this, the burden of taking all decisions is placed on a single person. Hence, the possibility of making hasty or wrong decisions increases. This is the situation of the leaders of all important countries including India, Russia, China, America. China has its own top leadership of the People's Party, but its role is very limited. India has a two-tier cabinet. Besides, Rashtrapati Bhavan and Supreme Court are also ready for error correction and guidance. That readiness is sometimes expressed in the form of reprimand. However, the role of the President and the court in the practical management of the entire nation and in the formulation of policies is limited. In China, Xi Jinping enjoys absolute power. There is a Politburo and a Senate to stop them. Ch

Adhir's allegation, Mamata's daily expenses of 3 lakhs

Image
New Delhi: Trinamool Congress and Congress, the two allies of the anti-BJP Front India, have come face to face again after Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chaudhary made allegations against Mamata Banerjee. Chaudhary has alleged that Mamata Banerjee used to spend Rs 3 lakh per day in the hotel where she was staying abroad. Even after siphoning off so many rupees from the government's coffers, not a single rupee of foreign investment has come to Bengal from Mamata's foreign travel. Mamata's family members and others went abroad on the pretext of bringing foreign investment to the state and came back having fun without doing anything. Mamata went on a 12-day trip to Spain and Dubai to bring foreign investment to Bengal. The Trinamool Congress termed Chaudhary's words ridiculous and said that facilities including foreign academies will be opened soon in Bengal. That time Chaudhary's lies will be exposed.

Talking about Delhi: The government was shocked by the report about the China border

Image
New Delhi: There is peace on the border between India and China now, but the report presented during the DGP conference has shocked the government. According to this report, Indian Army is not patrolling 26 points out of the 65 patrolling points of the Line of Actual Control (LAC). The areas from Karakoram Pass to Chumur are not being patrolled by the Indian Army so China can intrude and claim these areas. Areas that are not patrolled become buffer zones, thus weakening India's claim over them. There is a threat that China will gradually enter the region and eventually take over it. China's military is clever in taking advantage of this situation. China keeps a close watch on Indian Army movements by installing cameras on high peaks. Then the infiltration starts as soon as the opportunity arises. Voices of discontent against Yogi Adityanath in UP Ahead of the Lok Sabha elections in Uttar Pradesh, voices of dissatisfaction against Yogi Adityanath have started to rise. The B

A minor was killed in public in Delhi, people watched the spectacle

Image
- For the so-called civil society, this is like drowning with water in the lid - When Sahil stopped the witness in public and stabbed him in the stomach, there were many people around. Most of the people watching the spectacle saw Sahil stabbing the witness. In the CCTV footage, it is seen that some people pass by on the public road and turn back to see Sahil's murderous game but do not try to stop him. Seeing that Sahil was alone and there were at least twenty-twenty five people outside, if an attempt had been made to stop him, the witness could have been saved, but except for one or two people, no one tried to stop Sahil or save the witness, nor did they inform the police. The murder of Shraddha Volkar by her live-in partner Aftab Amin Poonawala, which happened exactly one year ago in Delhi, created a stir. After killing Shraddha, Aftab was caught cutting her body into pieces, keeping it in a freezer and disposing of it slowly. While the details of the Shraddha murder case ha

Uproar in UP politics due to attack on Chandrasekhar Ravan

Image
There is talk on social media that Chandrasekhar Azad himself staged the attack in an attempt to gain political advantage. - Chandrasekhar Azad Ravan is one of the most interesting characters in UP politics. Chandrasekhar is only 36 years old but has made more enemies than anyone else in UP politics. Ravana is very unpopular with the upper castes especially the Thakurs and Kshatriyas because Azad speaks harshly against the upper castes. Chandrasekhar has been speaking in the same aggressive tone against those who have been playing vote bank politics in the name of Dalits for years. Leaders who have been running their shop in the name of Dalit vote bank in UP for years feel threatened by Chandrasekhar and dislike him. Chandrasekhar is also considered by many as a pawn of BJP and Yogi Adityanath. The attack on Chandrashekhar Azad Ravan, known as the chief of Bhim Army and an extremely aggressive youth Dalit leader, in Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh, has created an atmosphere of tension and

Tribal bus services: Even the tribals do not like private bus service very much

Image
JS of Gujarat State Transport Corporation. T. Bus services run across the state. Its foremost is economics, which is rarely seen by the government itself or the public. The main for-profit services of this corporation are in tribal areas. Route Chikkar makes a profit as every route that runs in remote inland tribal areas carries every Chikkar passenger. Other than that thousands of routes suffer losses. In other words, it is the tribals who give food and water to the corporation and the rupee from the hard work of the tribals comes into the possession of the corporation only by becoming a ticket fare, from which the staff of the corporation is paid. The other side of this coin is that the worst i.e. third class services of the corporation are given to the tribal areas. Third class means third class in each stage. The people of the so-called elite society are not equally familiar with the tribal area. Their ignorance is of many different levels. From time immemorial, people living in

Talking about Delhi: Government will bring home loan subsidy scheme

Image

Sources say that the central government will soon announce a Rs 60,000 crore home loan subsidy scheme for people living in raw houses, slums and rented houses in urban areas.

Under this scheme, loans of up to 9 lakh rupees will be available at subsidized interest rates starting from 3 percent to 6 percent per annum and 25 lakh people living in urban areas will benefit. This scheme will be different from the existing Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Urban.

Ultimatum of Akal Takht, terrorism will flare up in Punjab?

Image
- Although Akal Takht has said that we will not do violence, but looking at the history of Akal Takht, Bhagwant Maan knows very well what this threat means. When the demand for Khalistan gained momentum in the 1970s, the Akal Takht used to advise Sufiani to behave peacefully, but through the back door he helped the militants. In fact, in 1983, due to a decision taken by the Akal Takht, terrorism flared up in Punjab. To suppress the Khalistanists who are raising their heads in Punjab, the Punjab Police has conducted an operation and put a number of Khalistanists in jail. Akal Takht has come into the fray where the Khalistanists are on the run with Sardar Amritpal Singh and the Punjab Police is pulling out all the stops to catch him. The Akal Takht is considered the highest religious institution in the Sikh sect. The Akal Takht has given an ultimatum to the Bhagwant Mann government to release all the jailed people within 24 hours. Jathedar of Akal Takht Giani Harpreet Singh criticized
