Taiwan Train Accident

ताइवान की सबसे घातक रेल दुर्घटना में कम से कम 48 मृत

पूर्वी ताइवान में एक ट्रेन के आंशिक रूप से पटरी से उतरने के बाद कम से कम 48 लोग मारे गए, जिससे देश की सबसे घातक रेल दुर्घटना हुई। ट्रेन अभी भी आंशिक रूप से एक सुरंग में है, बचे हुए लोग खिड़कियों से चढ़ गए और मानव रहित वाहन से टकराव के बाद ट्रेन की छत पर चढ़ गए, जो एक पहाड़ी पर लुढ़क गई थी। एक लंबे सप्ताहांत के पहले दिन टोरोको गॉर्ज प्राकृतिक क्षेत्र के पास दुर्घटना हुई, जब कई लोग ताइवान की व्यापक प्रणाली पर ट्रेनों को रोक रहे थे। ट्रेन 400 से अधिक लोगों को ले जा रही थी।

राष्ट्रीय अग्निशमन सेवा ने मरने वालों की संख्या की पुष्टि की, जिसमें ट्रेन के युवा, नवविवाहित चालक शामिल थे, और कहा कि सभी सवारों के लिए जिम्मेदार था।
इसमें 100 से अधिक लोग घायल हो गए। रेलवे समाचार अधिकारी वेंग हुई-पिंग ने दुर्घटना को ताइवान की सबसे घातक रेल दुर्घटना बताया। श्री वेनग ने कहा कि रेलवे प्रशासन द्वारा संचालित एक निर्माणाधीन ट्रक ऊपर पहाड़ी पर एक वर्कशीट से ट्रैक पर फिसल गया।

ट्रक में उस समय कोई नहीं था। उन्होंने कहा कि ट्रेन की गति ज्ञात नहीं थी। ट्रेन केवल एक सुरंग से आंशिक रूप से उभरी थी, और इसके अंदर अभी भी बहुत से, भागने वाले कई यात्री दरवाजे और खिड़कियों से बाहर निकलने के लिए मजबूर थे और छत के साथ-साथ सुरक्षा के लिए चलने के लिए ट्रेन के किनारों को स्केल करते थे।

आधिकारिक केंद्रीय समाचार एजेंसी की वेबसाइट पर दृश्य से पोस्ट किए गए टेलीविज़न फुटेज और तस्वीरें लोगों को सुरंग के प्रवेश द्वार के ठीक बाहर एक रेलकार के खुले दरवाजे से बाहर निकलते हुए दिखाई दीं। एक कार की दीवार का एक हिस्सा सीट में धंस गया था। ट्रेन सुरंग में फंसी हुई है। ट्रेन सुरंग में फंसी हुई है। (एपी)
ताइवान एक पहाड़ी द्वीप है और इसके अधिकांश 24 मिलियन लोग उत्तरी और पश्चिमी तटों के साथ समतल क्षेत्रों में रहते हैं जो कि द्वीप के अधिकांश खेत, सबसे बड़े शहरों और उच्च-तकनीकी उद्योगों का घर है।


हल्की आबादी वाला पूर्व पर्यटकों के साथ लोकप्रिय है, जिनमें से कई पहाड़ी सड़कों से बचने के लिए ट्रेन से यात्रा करते हैं। दुर्घटना में एक जांच शुरू की गई थी और किसी भी गिरफ्तारी के बारे में तत्काल शब्द नहीं था।

एक ट्वीट में, ताइवानी राष्ट्रपति त्साई इंग-वेन ने कहा कि आपातकालीन सेवाओं को “प्रभावित और यात्रियों और कर्मचारियों की सहायता के लिए पूरी तरह से जुटाया गया है।”
“हम इस दिल दहला देने वाली घटना के मद्देनजर उनकी सुरक्षा सुनिश्चित करने के लिए हम सब कुछ करना जारी रखेंगे,” उन्होंने कहा।
चार दिवसीय मकबरे स्वीपिंग फेस्टिवल के पहले दिन, वार्षिक धार्मिक अवकाश के दिन यह दुर्घटना घटी जब लोग अपने गृहनगर में पारिवारिक समारोहों के लिए यात्रा करते हैं और अपने पूर्वजों की कब्रों पर उनका सम्मान करते हैं।

ताइवानी प्रीमियर सु त्सेंग-चांग ने कहा कि रेलवे प्रशासन को “इसे फिर से रोकने के लिए” अन्य ट्रैक लाइनों के साथ तुरंत जांच करने की आवश्यकता होगी। दुर्घटना स्थल के पास एक सहायता तम्बू में तैनात त्ज़ु ची बौद्ध फाउंडेशन के लगभग 50 स्वयंसेवकों ने कहा कि बच्चे दर्जनों में से थे जो ट्रेन की कारों से बच गए थे। वे मामूली घावों का इलाज कर रहे थे और दोपहर के भोजन की पेशकश कर रहे थे। “हम ट्रेन से उतरते लोगों को देखते हैं और वे हिल जाते हैं और घबरा जाते हैं,” साइट पर एक त्ज़ु ची टीम के नेता चेन त्ज़ु-चोंग ने कहा।

ताइवान की आखिरी बड़ी रेल दुर्घटना अक्टूबर 2018 में हुई थी, जब एक एक्सप्रेस ट्रेन पूर्वोत्तर तट पर एक तंग कोने को पार करते समय पटरी से उतर गई थी, जिसमें कम से कम 18 लोग मारे गए थे और लगभग 200 घायल हो गए थे।
1991 में, पश्चिमी ताइवान में एक टकराव में 30 लोगों की मौत हो गई और एक दशक पहले एक और दुर्घटना में 30 लोगों की मौत हो गई। उन लोगों को रेल प्रणाली पर सबसे खराब पिछले क्रैश कहा गया था जो 19 वीं शताब्दी के अंत से आते हैं। ताइवान की व्यापक रेल प्रणाली ने हाल के वर्षों में पर्याप्त उन्नयन किया है, विशेष रूप से पश्चिम-तट के शहरों के साथ राजधानी ताइपे को दक्षिण में जोड़ने वाली एक उच्च गति लाइन के अलावा। शुक्रवार की पटरी से उतरने वाली ट्रेन, टोराको 408, ताइवान के नए मॉडलों में से एक है।

Gayatri Mantra and Yoga Treats Covid-19? AIIMS Conducts Trial

The Department of Science and Technology (DST) has recently funded a clinical trial which will be conducted by the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Rishikesh,  to evaluate whether the chanting of the religious hymn, Gayatri Mantra, will speed up the recovery of the patients suffering from the COVID-19.

The clinical trial will also look at the effect of performing the Yogic practice of Pranayama on the quality and speed of recovery from COVID-19.

One Group will be chanting Gayatri Mantra and performing Pranayama along with standard treatment

The clinical trial will aim to recruit around 20 COVID-19 positive patients displaying “moderate symptoms” and will divide them into two groups of 10 each. One of the groups will be treated with the regular standard COVID-19 procedure while the other group will be subjected to regular sessions of hymns chanting and yogic breathing exercises supervised by a  certified yoga instructor, along with the standard treatment.

After a session of two weeks, both the groups will be tested and compared with each other. The comparison will look whether the group who was subjected to the chanting and breathing exercises showed any measurable improvements over the group receiving the standard treatment. The test will especially look at the improved markers for cellular inflammation  or cell-injury.

The trial will also evaluate whether the recovery time between the two groups varied significantly and was there any reduction in fatigue or anxiety in the patients. 

DST funded ₹3 lakh for the study to see the effect of Gayatri Mantra and pranayama

arsenic contamination

Arsenic Contamination: The No.1 Silent Killer Of India.

Arsenic contamination is one of the biggest issue Indian people are facing in drinking water. Central Groundwater Board published a report which states that 21 states in our country are facing this issue and have arsenic levels higher than normal.
The first case of contamination of Arsenic in groundwater was observed in 1983 in West Bengal. After that several other states like Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh of Ganga River basin, and Assam and Manipur of Brahmaputra basin have also registered the case of arsenic pollution in their groundwater.

Arsenic Contamination: A major issue on the groundwater of the Indian peninsula

The situation is getting worse with every passing day according to a survey by the Ministry of Jal Shakti, which implies that about 9.6 m people in West Bengal, 1.6 m in Assam, 1.2 m in Bihar, 0.5 m in Uttar Pradesh, and 0.012m in Jharkhand are at the risk of danger. World Health Organization has given the guideline that the permissible limit of arsenic in drinking water is 10 parts per billion while the Indian government recorded it to be 50ppb which is five times higher, hand pumps of Buxar (a district in Bihar) found to have the highest arsenic contamination of 1500 parts per billion.


However, the main highlight of this whole propaganda is to let you all know that the contamination of groundwater has entered the food chain. The reason behind the penetration of arsenic in our food is that farmers use the contaminated water for irrigation purposes and coincidentally Ganga and Brahmaputra plains are the ideal surface for agriculture of various fields and horticultural crops such as rice, wheat, maize, etc. But what actually grown is crops containing hazardous arsenic.

Talking about the health issue caused by this whole scenario is that, Arsenic has been found to be leading to various forms of cancer in India. Specifically skin cancer and cancer of lungs, kidney, and bladder. Several common symptoms like keratosis and pigmentation, which cause hardening of the skin of the palm and soles of feet. It also leads to few other diseases like vascular diseases and respiratory diseases.

Our government is only showing interest in drinking water for the checkup of arsenic contamination. Each hand pumps and tubewell have been tested and marked as safe or unsafe considering the level of arsenic present in water. But this is not enough as the water used for agricultural means has been observed as a major loophole in the surrounding. To solve this issue up to maximum extent government must conduct a closure study towards the water used for agriculture as well, which will prevent it from entering our food chain.

Apart from that, it is our responsibility as well to keep an eye on these and be wise enough to save ourselves and our surroundings from any unusual health impact. Ignoring this can be a reason to destroy the environment with this poison.
