ROFL News: Delhi MP Tiwari doesn't know F.A.R. full form

ROFL News: Delhi MP Tiwari doesn't know F.A.R. full form

While commenting and cheering for Urban Minister H.S. Puri , Member of Parliament,  M. Tiwari praised that F.A.R. has been doubled in Delhi. Now when NDTV correspondent asked what F.A.R. is, he could not say, F.A.R. is Floor Area Ratio but he is happy that people can add new floors to their houses . He said "FAR increase means new floors can happen on Air" and then Mr. Tiwari tried pronouncing FAR like Air. 

Ha ha ha ... After all, both FAR and Air are 3 letter words with both A and R letters in them.

Such simple terms are not known by Elected Politicians and Media people, which can be calculated by a 6 year old. Simply Divide Constructed Floor area by Area of the plot (lot for American).

Ha ha ha ha ... even if they knew full form they would have known full form then how to calculate.

Now they are a saying F.A.R. was 10O !! An FAR of 100 means you can build 100 stories on a Lot (plot).. Oh you have to exclude areas of Stairs, Elevator shafts, Garages, Basements and Lobby or Porch.

So you can build 105 to 110 floors will F.A.R. of 100, now that will go up to 200? Whose Family has expanded so much in 70 years that they would require 200-220 floors where a single or double storied house was constructed??

I mean, I'm literally Laughing on the Floor.

In Support of Nadav Lapid

In Support of Nadav Lapid , the most important active Jewish Film Director

In his young but prolific career,  Nadav has already bagged Golden Bear and Cannes Jury Prizes among others. So when he calls a propaganda film as vulgar propaganda people better listen.

Israeli Ambassador on the other hand is just a right-wing henchman who knows nothing about Films or Film Festivals. If the Film Festival jury will not comment on the films that he is supposed to judge in the competition section, then who will ? 

TV Anchors? Or Diplomats? There is an intrinsic difference between Trade Fairs and Film Festivals, Indian Media is yet to understand that.

Films and Film festivals in India is part of  Hatred spreading Plans of current right-wing regime. But they made a big mistake thinking all Jewish Intellectuals are like Netanyahu-fanboys. Thankfully Jewish and Israeli spectrum of Intellectuals is much much broad and all can't be painted in same stroke. They asked for Best Israeli Film Director, hoping they are all stupid and islamophobic. 

They asked for best Israeli director as jury head and they got it, that was Nadav Lapid.

Lapid's movies are about human emotions,  so to say he doesn't understand "Exodus" is childish. But those abusing Lapid in Indian Media, get ready to cry a river when Lapid will win more awards in near future. Even Foreign Film Oscar also.

Lapid makes film based on Personal experiences, just hope he won't make a film on Indian Media or Film Festival. Even then Indian won't understand their mistake or stop their propaganda. After all, Lapid's humanism is Hebrew to them.

Stubble Burning Menace starts in West Bengal

 Stubble Burning Menace starts in West Bengal 

Forget the catchphrase "What Bengal does today, India will do tomorrow", right now "No North Indian evil shall be left uncopied" is more Apt for West Bengal. Limping with a braindead Intelligentsia,  Clueless copycat media and hopelessly "Nobody told us so" Medical professionals, they don't even notice the amount of ash and dust gets deposited on their roads and their homes. 

Well Today's NASA image and thermal anomalies plot bared it all in the open. Reason for such rice-paddy burning? 

Mechanical (So called Modern) Farming, they bought "Tractors & Harvesters" on mass it seems. Rice paddy was being cultivated in Bengal as early as documented history existed in Ganges Delta . Never in the history did they need burning of paddy stubble. 

Which idiot told them to get Harvester machines? When rural unemployment and specially youth unemployment is rampant in Bengal. 

The land holding of farmers in Bengal are much smaller than UP, Haryana and other parts of India. In Bengal, the farmers will never get the level of "Return on Investment" of harvester machines. When fuels like Kerosene, Diesel and Petrol are at their record high, stubble burning will only increase their input cost , purchasing "Useless Machines like Harvester" will make them crippling in debt.

Yet it seems, all across the Damodar River Valley, stubble Burning is gaining popularity.  As it is smog from North India had already rolled in into Bengal and add to that local stubble Burning and the smoke emanating locally, so Kolkata and Bengal will have as toxic air as Delhi. If Farmers are not rescued early from this Menace. 

Solution and the way out:

1. Avoid mechanical harvesting, create a pool of agricultural labour in the village from local unemployed youth. Let Government's Rural employment guarantee scheme fund part of harvesting labour cost.

Draw lottery to decide whose field gets harvested when.

2. For Stubble clearing, Use the traditional cattle and especially goats in the field. Mutton being a gastronomic delicacy,  nobody will mind Goats getting fatter. And "Goats in Bengal eat absolutely anything" , there is a Bengali proverb that corroborate to that.

3. Put AQI monitors in all small cities and towns and then check the kind of miserable air, your stupid machines and new techniques brought you.

4. Why No Doctor in Bengal talks about this local stubble burning? They are too busy drinking "India Made Local Scotch", they don't know these..

AQI & Nationalism : How national air quality Indices are Fooling People.

 Very few people realise that although Air Quality Index is measured by scientific instruments and by using Scientific methods , their classification is neither Scientific Nor Universal. 

And you can thank Nationalist Scientists (Its an oxymoron, but must apt in case) for that. 

 Before Political Animals thrust their dirty paws into that, it was a scientific metric. Measured from 1 to 999 in scale.

Just because, US recalibrated its index to 1 - 500, every other Government decided to have their own AQI system .If every country can have their own stock market index with distinct components, why can't they have "National Air Quality Index"?

Besides what "Old Index" would have shown a severe 750, "New Index" will only show a "Not Good" 350-380 In India or a 8 in UK or a Hazardous 9 in Canada .

 Environment Activists mostly come from Social studies and humanities streams academically, they will not get that.

 Already hearing in Lots of Media channels how India's AQI has improved From 999 to just about 500.

It's not just India, other Countries are using that trick. While China, Canada and UK are using Index range of 1 to 10 /10+ , their gradations and health Interpretations differ. EU is using 1 to 100 scale where they only monitor Greenhouse gases and not hazardous particulate matters. Similarly Australia, SE Asia countries have their own AQI, where even a 300 score can be termed as hazardous.

Even IIT graduates are falling for that.

Well, everyone is comparing Old Index scores with present day score and enjoying NUMERICAL SATISFACTION.  In India, IIT, Kanpur came up with this system in 2014. Where words like Unhealthy and Hazardous are replaced by Poor, Very Poor and Severe . 

Besides India's PM2.5 gradations of Poor (91 - 120), Very Poor ( 121 - 150 ), Severe (Only if above 251) all of which will rank in Extremely hazardous in Most countries like UK, US, Canada and even China .

But "Green-Savvy" Politicians and activists won't understand that. Besides India is having hottest autumn since records began. Air expands in heat and suspended particulate matters are packed less densely now, so AQI will not reflect whether pollutants are less or more.

I know, BJP sold crap meters that looks like a timepiece with a screen which shows the current AQI and its classification in any place. People bought them and carrying them everywhere,  BJP never let's any opportunity of scam go by, but for this I blame the people. 

I blame the people because if you are literate enough to read AQI , why didn't you take the next step and read what constitutes the AQI ? Scammers will always scam you, if you are not alert.

I mean you are buying a gadget that goes upto 500 and taking the satisfaction that it's no longer 999? 500 is the new 999 in AQI, now.

 Anatomy of Morbi Coverup - Part 3: Where is Jaysukh Patel?

These are contract and undertaking pages of Morbi Hanging Bridge.  Obviously Managing Director of Ajanta , Whom Media calls "Jaysukhbhai Patel" but whose documents in Ministry of Corporate Affairs say "Jaysukhbhai Bhalodia" is culpable for the tragedy and should have been booked for Criminal Negligence endangering of public safety, he is nowhere to be found. 

Even Media, both Delhi-based and Gujarat-based have moved on to other things. 

They have even MISSED THE LAST CRITICAL POINT of the contract,  that on 2020, there was even a meeting between Ajanta/Oreva and Morbi Municipality. 

2020 is incidentally the year, when in middle of Pandemic restrictions, A large Media group TV9 gave "Nav Nakshatra Business Award" to Jaysukh Patel, the link on YouTube is for all to see.

Why even that Media Group can't find their most eminent business award winner now? 

Is Jaysukh now absconding ? From What ? Investigators in Gujarat are not even willing to take his name in the investigation.  Public Fury? That thing is unheard of, specially against a businessman from ruling BJP supporter group. 

Meanwhile Election Commission of India has declared the Gujarat election dates, driving the final nail in the charade of bridge collapse Investigation.

NOBODY IN THE MEDIA , will now ask what happened in that meeting in 2020? Who all were present ? Election time ads are big money spinners for media. 

Money matters Most, lives they are aplenty, well, there are 1.4 billion to spare.

 

Anatomy of Morbi Scam Coverup Part 2: With Video Evidence

 Anatomy of Morbi Scam Coverup Part 2: Why Indian Media can't check old YouTube video

Why can't Indian Media check old YouTube/Pictures of Morbi Hanging Bridge?

Plenty of People had uploaded them, like this Gujarati Travel Blogger,  who uploaded this video about 9 months ago: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=31plSRNfe1I

 This video shows the travel blogger wearing Masks, so it was definitely after the Pandemic started. 

He entered the bridge buying a Rs. 15 ticket. 

Now it costs Rs. 17.

Remember in the Contract with Morbi Municipality, Oreva was allowed to increase Rs. 2 in ticket price, every year from now on.

This video also showed Aluminium flooring in dilapidated conditions, although the travel vlogger thoroughly enjoyed his crossing .

This video also showed, bridge swayed when even one person crossed it and even 2-3 people were able to swing the bridge. 

Let me now share, another video of Morbi Hanging Bridge,  which was kind of promotional video but important to show that even 6 years ago, Morbi Suspension Bridge had Aluminium flooring. 

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LxbYJIn9Lx8

The Misinformation that some Indian Media was peddling, that gets busted.

1.  Oreva aka Ajanta started charging people with Tickets of Hanging bridge only from this October. WRONG, they increased the price of tickets from Rs. 15 to Rs. 17.
   
2.  Changing Flooring from wood to Aluminium, this year; Caused the bridge to collapse. NOT TRUE.  Aluminium flooring was introduced many years ago.
   
3.  People suddenly started Swinging the bridge this year, leading to its collapse. INCORRECT.  In all old videos, you will see someone Or other is swaying the bridge. 
4.  Clock-maker Ajanta got the contract only this year. NOT TRUE, They were selling tickets at Rs. 15 , before the renovation. 

 

What caused the Bridge collapse?

Overcrowding, Deliberate Swaying and lack of rules and crowd control caused it. Bad maintenance definitely was a major factor too. 

The fault doesn't lie on 3-4 small fries now being "Put under trial" and this was not any "Act of God" (a legal tact to protect the criminals). It stems from " privatisation of public utilities is always Good " philosophy, at the end, they all fall down.

The beginning of the collapse started when a clock-maker company was given to contract of maintaining this specially critical old Suspension Bridge.

When did Ajanta get the Renovation contract?

Well, from reviewing older news reports, it points to a timeline of 2007. Even Ankit Tyagi of NDTV (formerly of India Today) accidentally mentioned it one night. Every News Editor knows that, but at that time CM of Gujarat was Current Prime Minister. 

So Super-scared Noida Media left Morbi yesterday. No more Ground Zero report from Godi Media. I'm currently searching for news reports from 2007, will blog as soon as I get some documentary evidence. 

Stay tuned and stay safe.

Anatomy of the Morbi Coverup: The Scam, The Disaster and The Hushing Up

Well before the tragedy struck in the hanging bridge, Oreva group had planned the contingency in case they have to flee Morbi. It is quite evident from their conspicuous absence presently and their website failing to mention even one of present Directors. The website although registered after Ajanta group founder was no more, talks only about Late  Odhavjibhai Patel.

 One Person, Multiple Name.

Now Government of India's corporate database states Late Odhavjibhai's official name to be, "
Odhavjibhai Ravjibhai Bhalodia". Patel is only their caste name, for unofficial and social purposes, most Bhalodia people use Patel as surnames and that is perfectly acceptable, nothing foul in that. For Middle name, their custom is to use Father's name or husband's name (Which actually helps in searching database and building Ancestry trees for us, not that they meant that).

Ajanta group's other brand name, ORPAT ie O.R.Patel is testimony to that practice, but that segment is handled by a different son , Pravin Kumar Patel or PravinKumar Odhavjibhai Bhalodia  and is handled by different Corporate Entity , Orpat Industries. Since he is not part of Oreva group , there is no point searching into that. 

But this proves beyond all doubt, their Surname in all official documents are Bhalodia and not Patel.  Similarly there might be hundreds of Jaysukh Patel, but ". Jaysukhbhai Odhavjibhai Bhalodia" might just be quite an unique name.

Since Ministry of Corporate Affairs insists unique Director Identification Number or DIN is issued only in the official name used in current passport (old rule, perhaps now the name in aadhaar card), all honest directors use that name in website, bank accounts and obviously in signature.

 Apparently When he wrote a book, "Samasya Aane Samadhan" he used his name to be "Jaysukhbhai Patel, MD, Ajanta Oreva group" where he lectured how to run a country, state or a business.  Absolutely "Mujhe Doh Mujhe, Humey Sab kuchh Aata Hai" school of Humbug philosophy, a book priced Rs. 200 and nobody bought it and now giving it free from Oreva Group website.  Statutory warning, if you read even the preface of it now, your blood will boil.

Why was he introducing himself as "Jaysukh bhai Patel, MD, Oreva group" to Media as his official name? Maybe only he can tell from overseas hideout . 

Why has he become unreachable since the day of the tragedy?

Jaysukh Bhalodia is not a newbie, he was appointed as MD of Ajanta Manufacturing in 1994, he should be knowing all these.

Is he still in India or gone away?

FIRST CAME PROBE, THEN SIT, THEN DETAILED PROBE and out came some incompetent PUBLIC PROSECUTOR.

Although some Minister Ordered Probe, Chief Minister of Gujarat made that Special Investigation under SIT of competent people and Supreme Leader aka PM Modi himself tutored those competent people on how to conduct a detailed probe,  today some low ranked people (like ticketing clerk, private security guards) who were arrested from the site of accident were taken to the court and remanded in Police custody . 

But when public prosecutor said, "These people are charged with culpable homicide not amounting to murder" and in the same press brief went on to say "the Directors of the Oreva group in the contract",  the signs of cover-up becomes evident. 

Thankfully for these incompetent prosecutors, these kind of "Meet the press" happens on the foot-path of the court complex, preferably under the shade of a tree ... while journalists jostle among themselves for elbow room and 20 different journalists shout 10 different questions in 3 languages at the same time. Therefore no meaningful questions can be asked to the person briefing, such Prosecutors scoot away in the journalistic melee. All that remains is the audio or audio-visual recording of the prepared statement. Same happened here.

Questions for Public PROSECUTOR, now I ask: 

1. Is he aware the MD of Oreva came himself for reopening and his family members (incidentally Directors of Overa) cut the ribbons ?

2. Is he aware, MD of Oreva himself boasted that he gave the Sub-contract of repair work within Rs 2 Crore?

3. Is he, the public prosecutor aware that MD of Oreva said, no more repair work will be needed for 7-8years .. is Public Prosecutor know that MD of Oreva group is the director and head of Oreva group of companies?

4. Is Public Prosecutor aware that, Charging Ticket Counter Clerk with Culpable homicide in a bridge collapse is same as charging Airlines Ticket Seller for Air crash or Railway Ticket Clerk for railway accidents caused by maintenance negligence?

5. Is the Public Prosecutor aware that Crowd Management, Civil Infrastructure Protection is the job of the Police? How can 3 security guards prevent 500 people from going on the bridge? Why were they even arrested ?

6. Is the public prosecutor aware that, hanging bridge of Morbi is a public thoroughfare and not a private road or joyride? That being the case, Morbi Municipality (Nagar Palika) is fully responsible for its safety .  Why no one from Municipality is named in the FIR? Why no signatories of the scamming, money-spining contract for Oreva not booked? The Sub-Contractor of the contract are charged with Culpable homicide, but main contract signatories go Scot-free?

7. Before getting Fitness certificate, how can MD of Oreva reopen the bridge? Does Public prosecutor know, which political luminaries from Morbi Municipality were present in that ceremony? Is Oreva MD is not even culpable after that, but 3 security guards Oreva appointed then on temporary basis are?

Such questions Run riots in any sane person's head after knowing at least 135 are dead from bridge collapse.

 November 2, A perfect date for Coverup And hushing up the story:

There are so many distractions today,  let me list them out.. perfect day to push Morbi Story out of headlines.

1. World Cup T20 match of India. 

2. Smog in Delhi. 

3. Waterlogging in Chennai. 

4. By-elections in 6 states.

5. Shah rukh's Birthday. 

These events are each news worthy, are enough to draw attention to 99.9% Indians away from Morbi. But on the day like today, if I can't write a blog dedicated to the lost souls of Morbi and ask poignant questions, then shame on me and shame on my education.

Answers :

On 31st Oct, I asked the question "Who gave the contract of Bridge Repair and Maintenance for 15 years to clock-maker Ajanta?" 

Correct answer will be, In 2007, then Gujarat CM Modi gave the contract to Ajanta. This bridge was closed for safety reasons after Gujarat Earthquake.

On 2022, that contract was renewed for another 15 years.  There are tale-tell signs of the old contract in the new contract. For 15 years, all Ajanta group did was to find local-handyman and masons and do patch-works and sell tickets to "Jhulto Pul" and treat it as a joyride.

Bonus Information for Journalists: 

The aluminium flooring lightened the weight and allowed larger sways while swinging and if you look at Google Map, you will find many pictures of people crossing that bridge, where aluminium flooring can be seen. Even how it got damaged before and formed a "V" like shape. So if any Construction Expert in India says ("Indian Experts can say that") changing Bridge flooring from Wood to Aluminium made it heavier, that is neither the truth nor factually correct (Stay clear of such experts). Wood is much more dense and therefore heavier than Aluminium. In fact, Aluminium made it lighter and converted the bridge into a unsafe joyride like a swing, creating higher stress on the old wires and one of them snapped. 

Replace Costly Wood with Aluminium Works in Windows, so jugaad (patchwork) king loved that and used that in swing ie Suspension Bridge at Morbi.

There are older videos of Morbi bridge on YouTube also. Do take a look before BJP tries to get them down.

Want to recover all dead bodies: clear the water hyacinths

 Morbi disaster: if you want to recover all dead bodies; Clear the water hyacinths. 

Rather than creating acrobatic waves with motorboats through stagnant waters of Machchu river (in November) at Morbi,  NDRF Should try to drag Nets and clear out hyacinths from water, which can be clearly seen on TV screens. 

Anything trapped within those weeds , CAN NOT BE spotted in Sonar . No operator can detect which echo is from Garbage or dense hyacinths and which are from human remains stuck in Mud.

For all practical purposes, the water body of Machchu river at Morbi should be treated like large pond or a marsh. Creating waves will not make any body to float and Navy divers have almost zero chance to spot any body visually. 

So it's much more useful to clear out water hyacinths to make sure, nobody is stuck in the mud there. Simple dragging of nets will do, no rocket science needed. And the mesh wire fence of collapsed Oreva Jhulto pul can be used to clear out water hyacinths, if they don't Have NETS. They mesh wire fence are literally hanging over water hyacinths as an obscene reminder of lack of common sense of the authorities. 

PS: There are no chance that Ajanta/Oreva Directors hiding in Water hyacinths, why aren't they clearing the water hyacinths? What are they trying to hide?

Narendra Modi praised Ajanta Clock maker in April, 2022

 People have short Memory: Modi Praised Ajanta Clockmaker On Nationally Televised Speech on April, 2022

Most Indians have forgotten that Modi had inaugurated "Lord Hanuman Statue" at Morbi on 15-16th April, 2022 via video conferencing.  And all TV channels showed that speech Nationally, all over India. 

Those very TV channels are forgetting to highlight that Modi called that part of country as "Mini-japan". Let me quote verbatim from that report:

"He noted the resilience of Morbi as it is thriving centre of industries today. The Prime Minister said, if we look at brass from Jamnagar, engineering from Rajkot and clock industry of Morbi, it gives a feeling of ‘Mini Japan’."

 Any Indian even those with minimal IQ knows that, By clock industry of Morbi only Ajanta were meant. 

Is it only sheer coincidence, the Morbi Hanging Bridge renovation contract to Oreva/Ajanta was given by local municipal body (incidentally Ruled by Modi's party BJP) was signed in and around that period only.

So shouldn't the responsibility of Accidents in "Mini Japan" aka Morbi, fall on the guy who coined this term.

 Why is Modi's favourite clock-maker from Morbi absconding now? Is Time is not on their side now?

You are read all about Modi's speech on Hanuman Jayanti here https://newsonair.gov.in/News?title=PM-Modi-virtually-unveils-statue-of-Lord-Hanuman-at-Morbi-in-Gujarat-on-the-occasion-of-Hanuman-Jayanti&id=439238

Everybody Must criticise Delhi Police

 Every well meaning person must stand with "The Wire"

Shame on Delhi Police,  are they Policemen or Looters in Uniform. Who ordered them to seize Phones and Computers of the Editors of the news website "The Wire"? 

The answer may be quite simple, someone in High Position in Home Ministry of India. That too due to a criminal defamation complaint by Ruling Party's IT cell dude. That creep himself tweets "Fake Stuff" all day, everyday.

The Wire was wrong to use some dubious emails in a news story but the news outfit has apologised for editorial gaffe and retracted that story. After that, they can't be held for any defamation Suit. BTW Defamation of a person, renowned for fake news infamy .. is that even possible . 

Anyway,  I stand with "The wire" and Free press.. maybe you should too, but I leave it upto you to decide.
