900 परिवारों के लिए आफत बना उत्तराखंड सरकार का एक फैसला राज्य सरकार ने एंबुलैंस सेवा 108 का ठेका दूसरी कंपनी को दे दिया है, जिससे 900 कर्मचारियों और उनके परिवारों पर संकट आ गया है। नैनीताल के ओखलाकांडा ब्लॉक की दुर्गम ग्राम सभा गौनियारों तल्ला में रहने वाली कुशुमा देवी को शनिवार सुबह तीन बजे प्रसव पीड़ा हुई। परिवारवालों ने 108 एंबुलेंस सेवा को फ़ोन लगाने की कोशिश की। नेटवर्क नहीं होने के कारण फ़ोन नहीं लगा, तो उसके परिजन सात किलोमीटर ऊंची चोटी पर पहुंचे और फिर 108 एंबुलेंस को फ़ोन लगाया। लेकिन 108 एंबुलेंस ने सेवा देने में असमर्थता जता दी। फिर ग्रामीणों की मदद से परिजन कुशुमा को डोली में बिठा कर, करीब चार किलोमीटर पैदल चलकर मोटर मार्ग पर लाए और फिर एक टैक्सी में अस्पताल ले जाने लगे। इस दौरान कुशुमा को प्रसव पीड़ा उठी और उसने टैक्सी में ही एक बच्ची को जन्म दिया। अखबार के अंदर के पन्नों में छपनेवाली ये छोटी सी ख़बर बताती है कि पहाड़ों में 108 एंबुलेंस सेवा को लाइफ लाइन क्यों कहा जाता है। यहां 108 एंबुलेंस ने अपनी सेवाएं देने में असमर्थता जता दी। लेकिन दुर्गम पर्वतीय क्षेत्रों में इस सेवा पर बहुत सारी ज़िंदगियां टिकी हुई हैं। इस सेवा के ज़रिये मरीजों को अस्पताल पहुंचाने वाले कर्मचारी कुशुमा जैसी किसी महिला के लिए देवदूत से कम नहीं होते। पहाड़ की घुमावदार सड़कों पर एंबुलेंस दौड़ाने वाले और सेवा से जुड़े अन्य करीब 900 कर्मचारियों के सामने पहाड़ सी चुनौती आ खड़ी हुई है। अब तक जिस कंपनी (जीवीके-ईएमआरआई) के लिए वे इस कार्य को कर रह थे, राज्य सरकार के साथ उनका करार इस वर्ष मार्च महीने में समाप्त हो गया। कैंप- कम्यूनिटी एक्शन थ्रू मोटिवेशन नाम की मध्यप्रदेश की गैर-सरकारी संस्था ये महत्वपूर्ण ज़िम्मा संभालने के लिए तैयार नहीं थी, तो कंपनी अप्रैल महीने में भी अपनी सेवाएं दे रही है। मई से नई कंपनी ये ज़िम्मा संभालेगी। यानी मई महीने में कई कर्मचारियों का रोज़गार छिन जाएगा और वे सड़क पर आ जाएंगे। Courtesy: https://bit.ly/2J6es7X

Citizen Group Sets An Example By Reviving Rachenahalli Lake In Bengaluru Namma Bengaluru, the city which was once popular for its lakes and the thriving ecosystem around it, now bears the sight of the slow disappearance of many of them. The destruction done to the lakes in Bengaluru for the sake of developmental projects is clearly visible with their present-day deteriorating condition. But looking at this grave issue, is only the government along with the authorities to be blamed for the entirety of the situation? Keeping the indifference and ignorance of the concerned authorities aside, a voluntary citizen-led group named Jalamitra is working actively to revive one of the few living lakes left in north Bengaluru. As they call themselves ‘Guardians of Rachenahalli lake’, they work collectively with the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) towards maintaining the lake and have started many action plans to progress the cause of preservation of the lake ecosystem.

The First Elephant Hospital In India Treats Abused Elephants And Makes A Difference India is quite famous because of its love for nature and wildlife. According to Hindu philosophy (which is the primary religion in India), animals should be treated with kindness, and lots of them are represented in the form of deities too. Therefore, when the country opened the first-ever elephant hospital back in 2018, it sent surges of joy across the world. And the good news is that some months after its opening, this facility has successfully treated 26 elephants. The hospital is located in Uttar Pradesh and was established by an animal welfare group called Wildlife SOS. It's a non-profit organization which is involved in the task of saving wild animals in India. It's been active since the year 1995. The group not only helps pachyderms but they've also helped bears, leopards, turtles, and different kinds of endangered species too. Courtesy: https://bit.ly/2LiaATV

12 children among 28 bonded labourers rescued from Kanchipuram The tip-off to the bonded labourers came from a labourer and his family who had escaped from the employer. The courage of a 55-year-old bonded labourer and his family paved the way for the freedom of 24 more such labourers, including 12 children, from a woodcutting unit in Sriperumbudur near Chennai. According to news reports, Rajendran, his wife Manjula and their two children escaped from the woodcutting unit in February after working there for six years. Rajendran had been given an advance of Rs 6,000 by the owner of the unit Murugan and was asked to work there with his family. After escaping from the unit, Rajendran and his family took shelter at their relative’s house near Mahabalipuram. However, Murugan tracked them down and assaulted them. Members from the left parties in the region then came to the family’s rescue and also alerted the Released Bonded Labourer Association (RBLA). The RBLA volunteers then reported this matter to the district administration and took Rajendran and his family to a safe place. Courtesy: https://bit.ly/2GVjFhe
