AG.

A short while after Pakistan’s foreign office spokesman Mohammad Faisal told a briefing in Islamabad that Ibrahim was not in the country, Kumar told reporters in Delhi: “The location of
Dawood Ibrahim is not a secret. Time and again over the last few years, India has presented a list of people in their country. We have asked repeatedly that he should be handed over.” He added, “When it comes to taking action against people whom we have demanded, either you ignore, go into denial mode and even deny they exist in your country. But on the other hand, you try to hoodwink the international community that you are taking some action against terrorists.” During the extradition trial in London of Jabir Motiwala, an alleged aide of Ibrahim, the US government’s counsel told the judge that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) was probing the underworld don’s organisation based in Pakistan.

In an era of climate change, the State needs to augment the IMD’s capabilities
Sunvilla Samachar (English Daily)
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) admitted on Tuesday that it failed to issue the correct forecast on Sunday or Monday morning for the extremely heavy downpour from late Monday night to early Tuesday that inundated the country’s financial capital, Mumbai. The deluge took place due to a cloud patch over the city’s suburbs that led to continuous and extremely heavy showers for six hours. The warnings were finally modified by 12.30 am on Tuesday, and IMD website was updated by 2 am. While most of the attention has been devoted to Mumbai’s governance failures in coping with the rains, it will be useful to step back and look at the gaps in forecasting. This is not the first time that the IMD has failed to provide a timely forecast of a deluge of this magnitude: In August 2018, when excessive rainfall inundated the state, Kerala chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan accused IMD of not giving any prior information about extremely heavy rain on August 14 and 15. The IMD had forecast an estimated 98.5mm rain in the state between August 9 and 15. But, the actual rain received was 352.2mm. But the Centre had defended IMD and said necessary severe weather warnings were given to Kerala. While it is easy to blame IMD for such failures, it is important to understand where the organisation stands in its monsoon forecasting capabilities, the challenges that climate change poses to forecasting, and what more needs to done to augment IMD’s capabilities. In the past decade or so, IMD’s forecasting capabilities have improved vastly. The seasonal forecasting of the southwest monsoon is now done with the help of statistical and dynamical models since 2017. Earlier, it was based only on statistical models. Its error of margin for monsoon forecast has reduced from 7.94% between 1995 and 2006, to 5.95% between 2007 and 2018, even over the - Kapilkumar M. Hirpara last 11 years.

Retirement age set to rise due to higher life expectancy: Eco Survey
Given that life expectancy for both males and females in India is likely to continue rising, increasing the retirement age for both men and women going forward could be considered in line with the experience of other countries, it added. New Delhi:Rise in retirement age for most of India’s working population from 60 years at present seems inevitable due to increase in life expectancy, according to the Economic Survey. India’s population is expected to grow under 0.5 per cent during 203141 due to decline in fertility rate and increase in life expectancy, according to the survey. “Since an increase in the retirement age is perhaps inevitable, it may be worthwhile signalling this change well in advance – perhaps a
decade before the anticipated shift – so that the workforce can be prepared for it,” the Economic Survey for 2018-19, tabled in Parliament by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman Thursday, said. The survey pointed out that this will also help plan in advance for pensions and other retirement provisions. Given that life expectancy for both males and females in India is likely to continue rising, increasing the retirement age for both men and women going forward could be considered
in line with the experience of other countries, it added. Due to ageing population and increasing pressure on pension funding, many countries have begun raising the pensionable retirement age. The economic survey said demographic projections show that India’s population growth will continue to decline over the next two decades, growing less than 1 per cent during 2021-31 and under 0.5 per cent during 2031-41. “Such population growth rates would be close to the trend currently
seen in countries such as Germany and France. In fact, with total fertility rates (TFR) projected to fall well below replacement level fertility by 2021, positive population growth in the next two decades will be due to population momentum and the continued rise in life expectancy,” it added. At present, TFR of 2.1 children per woman is called the replacement level fertility, which is the average number of children a woman would need to have in order for the population to replace itself.
