Over 1.73 lakh hectares of forest land diverted from in 10 years; 63% for mining, irrigation and roads: Centre tells Lok Sabha
The Union environment ministry approved the diversion of 1,73,984.3 hectares of forest land for non-forestry purposes between 2014-15 and 2023-24, Minister of State for Environment, Forest and Climate Change Kirti Vardhan Singh stated in a written reply in the Lok Sabha on Monday. The mining and quarrying sector, the hydropower energy and irrigation sector, and road projects accounted for about 63 per cent of diversion, with forest land of 40,096.17 hectares, 40,138.31 hectares, and 30,605.69 hectares diverted for the three purposes respectively. The Union minister was replying to a question from Congress MP Sukhdeo Bhagat, who asked whether forest clearances for infrastructure and industrial projects had increased by over 150 per cent from 2014 to 2023, citing a Centre for Science and Environment report. The minister added in his reply that forest land was allowed for non-forestry use in unavoidable circumstances with 'adequate mitigation measures including raising of compensatory afforestation and payment of net present value'. As per the minister's reply, linear infrastructure projects such as power transmission lines accounted for diversion of 17,232.69 hectares of forest land. The ministry also approved 14,968.14 hectares of forest land for defence projects. Railway projects accounted for 7,998 hectares of forest land diversion, whereas 2,644 hectares were diverted for the thermal power sector. For the 'others' category, 9,669.85 hectares of forest land were diverted and 346.84 hectares for wind power. 'The process of approvals for diversion of forest land for various non-forestry purposes under Van (Sanrakshan Evam Samvarshan) Adhiniyam, 1980 is a continuous process. During the period from 2014-15 to 2023-24, the forest area measuring 173984.3 ha. has been approved to be used for various non-forestry purposes, including infrastructure and industrial projects under the provisions of Van (Sanrakshan Evam Samvardhan) Adhiniyam, 1980,' the minister stated in his reply. Under the Van Adhiniyam 1980, project proponents have to obtain approval from the ministry's forest advisory committee before using or diverting forest land for non-forestry activities. An empowered committee of the ministry's regional offices scrutinises projects in categories such as linear projects consisting of pipelines, railways, roadways and power lines.

'Not immediately worried': Himanta Biswa Sarma plays down fears over China's Brahmaputra dam; cites river's multiple sources
Himanta Biswa Sarma (File photo) NEW DELHI: Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Monday sought to calm fears over China's move to build the world's largest dam on the Brahmaputra river, saying there is no immediate reason to worry. He specified that the Brahmaputra is not dependent on single water source and draws most of its flow from Bhutan, Arunachal Pradesh, and local rainfall. "I am not immediately worried because Brahmaputra is a mighty river and it is not dependent on a single source (of water)," Sarma told reporters on the sidelines of an event. Responding to concerns about possible downstream effects on Assam, the chief minister said it is too early to say whether the outcome will be beneficial or harmful. "Brahmaputra gets most of its waters from Bhutan, Arunachal Pradesh, and the rainwater and other forms of water from our state itself," he added. Sarma acknowledged that the full implications of the massive Chinese dam, which began construction last week, are still unclear. "The exact impact of the massive dam, the construction of which began last week, is not properly known as different theories are being floated," he said. The Assam CM also highlighted two conflicting scientific opinions about the potential impact of the dam. "First -- if Brahmaputra's flow is disturbed by China, then there may be less water and consequently biodiversity will be affected. But there is also a counter view that if less water comes, it will also act as a flood cushioning. So, I don't know which one is correct," he said. He expressed confidence in the Union government's handling of the matter. "I am sure that they (Centre) must already be having a discussion with China or will have a discussion with the neighbouring country," he added. China began building the $167.8 billion hydropower project on July 19 in Nyingchi City, Tibet, close to the border with Arunachal Pradesh. Chinese premier Li Qiang attended the groundbreaking ceremony of what is expected to be the largest infrastructure project in the world -- bigger even than the Three Gorges Dam. The dam will be built on the lower reaches of the Brahmaputra, known as the Yarlung Zangbo in Tibet. The site lies in one of the rainiest and most seismically active regions of the world and sits along a tectonic plate boundary prone to earthquakes. According to reports, the project will feature five cascading hydropower stations and generate over 300 billion kWh of electricity annually -- enough to meet the needs of over 300 million people. The project has raised serious concerns in India and Bangladesh, both downstream countries, as it could give China the ability to regulate the river's flow. In times of tension, this control could be used strategically by releasing or withholding water, potentially causing floods or shortages. India, too, is constructing a dam on the Brahmaputra in Arunachal Pradesh as part of its efforts to counterbalance China's control upstream.

‘It's actually a Delhi Hindi': External affairs minister S Jaishankar is a polyglot, know what languages he can speak
When we think of politicians with a command over language, Shashi Tharoor — known for his eloquence and famously expansive vocabulary — often comes to mind. But Dr S Jaishankar, India's External Affairs Minister, stands not far behind. The career diplomat is a polyglot too, juggling a surprising mix of languages that reflect both his diplomatic career and personal life. In a recent candid chat, Dr Jaishankar spoke about the languages he knows.'Obviously, I speak English,' he said with a smile, a given for someone in his role. But the conversation quickly became more personal as he opened up about his connection to other tongues. When it comes to Hindi, he said: 'I speak Hindi… not at a very high standard, but with a kind of street smart fluency.' Then, with a bit of humour, he clarified what kind of Hindi that is — not the literary kind, not even the academic JNU kind — 'It's actually a Delhi Hindi. I was born in Delhi, so it's a very Delhi person's Hindi.' Though his roots are Tamil, Dr Jaishankar admitted that he never formally learnt the language. 'I can speak Tamil, but not with the kind of fluency and command of vocabulary that I would like,' he said honestly, showing the humility of someone who still wants to learn more. But his journey with languages didn't stop there. His time in the Foreign Service introduced him to Russian. 'Russian is different because I actually studied it in the Foreign Service,' he shared, showing that some languages entered his life through duty, not birth. In a moment that made everyone smile, he revealed that he even knew some Japanese. 'I have a working, rudimentary sense of Japanese… because I do need to talk to my wife from time to time,' he said, chuckling.
