Operation AAHT

Under this operation, RPF will deploy special forces in long distance trains. The operation will mainly focus on rescuing women and children from traffickers. This operation will be implemented in every train operated by Indian Railways. Indian Railways operates a total of 21,000 trains. According to RPF, railways are the most reliable mode of transport for smugglers.

Under this operation, RPF will collect leads, match them and analyze them. Information on routes, victims, sources, destination, popular trains will be collected. RPF will use all its intelligence in the operation. The details collected will be shared with other law enforcing agencies. RPF will assist the local police and act as a bridge in inter-state work. Cyber ​​cells will be formed under this operation. More attention will be given to trains running from Myanmar, Nepal and Bangladesh.

RPF rescued two thousand women from the clutches of smugglers between 2017 and 2021. According to the National Crime Records Bureau, 2,200 new trafficking cases are registered every year. In 2011, the Government of India ratified the UNTOC. UNTOC stands for United Nations Conventions against Transnational Organized Crime. The UNTOC Protocol covers the prevention, suppression and punishment of human trafficking.

igloo cafe

Recently an igloo cafe was opened in Jammu and Kashmir. It is now the largest igloo cafe in the world. The name of this cafe is Snowglu. It was built by Wasim Shah.

This cafe is built in Gulmarg, Kashmir. Its diameter is 44.5 feet and height is 37.5 feet. This cafe has become one of the major tourist attractions of the region. This cafe has two sections. One section is for art and the other for seating. It has ten tables. The cafe can seat 40 people. Sheep skin was used to make seat covers in restaurants. Fifth note of musical scale

Switzerland

Earlier the biggest cafe was in Switzerland. The cafe in Switzerland is 33.8 feet long and 42.4 feet in diameter. Snooglu Cafe is three to four feet taller than Cafes in Switzerland.

igloo

A house made of snow is called an igloo. The ice traps the air molecules. These air molecules keep the house warm. The temperature outside can be -45 °C. But inside the igloo it can be -7 °C.

The best snow for making an igloo is that which is blown away by the wind.

The Science Behind Igloos

Ice has insulating properties. It is made up of 90% to 95% air. The air in the snow slows down the heat transfer. Thus the human body heat and the heat generated by the use of firewood stays inside the igloo for a long time.

Aravali Biodiversity Park

On World Wetlands Day, i.e. February 2, Aravalli Biodiversity Park has been declared as the first other Effective Area-based Conservation Measures (OECM) site. Gone.

What is OEM?

The OECM tag is provided by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). According to the IUCN, OECM sites are not protected but are rich in biodiversity. Aravalli Hills is the first OECM site in the country. The proposal to make Aravali OECM was made by the National Biodiversity Authority.

Aravalli Biodiversity Park

This park is spread over 390 acres. It has semi-arid vegetation. It has over 43,000 shrubs, 1,01,000 trees and 300 endemic plant species. Earlier this park was a mining site. With the immense efforts of environmentalists, scientists, ecologists along with the local population, it was turned into a city forest. Aravali is considered to be the green lung of Delhi. Aravalli provides 7.07% oxygen to Delhi.

importance of aravali

The Aravallis act as a barrier between the desert in the west and the fertile land in the east. Aravalli intercepts monsoon clouds and brings rain to Nainital and Shimla. It acts as groundwater recharge for the hilly region.

OECM Definition

The OECM areas were defined at the Biological Diversity Conference held in 2018. The definition of OECM is as follows:

“OECM is not a protected area. It is administered to get positive results. These positive outcomes include: Conservation of biodiversity, importance of cultural, socio-economic and spiritual values.

ATLAS Asteroid Tracking System

The NASA-funded Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) has become the first survey capable of searching the entire dark sky for Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) every 24 hours.

ATLAS is a state-of-the-art asteroid detection system. It is operated by the University of Hawaii Astronomy Institute for NASA's Planetary Defense Coordination Office (PDCO).

ATLAS has expanded its reach to the Southern Hemisphere by including two additional observatories in Chile and South Africa. Now it includes four telescopes.

It has two existing northern-hemisphere telescopes at Haleakala and Maunaloa in Hawaii.

ATLAS is now able to search the entire dark sky every 24 hours. Thus, it has become an important asset to NASA's continued effort to find, track and monitor NEOs.

Who developed the atlas?

The first two Atlas telescopes were developed in Hawaii by the UH IFA. It was developed under a 2013 grant from NASA's Near-Earth Object Observation Program. Now these telescopes are part of NASA's PDCO.

NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART)

It is the world's first full-scale mission to test a technology to defend Earth against potential asteroid impacts. It was launched on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Space Force Base in California on November 24, 2021. To slightly change the speed of the asteroid, DART was launched to deflect a known asteroid.

Planetary Defense Coordination Office (PDCO)

PDCO is a planetary defense organization. It was established in January 2016 under the Planetary Science Division of NASA's Science Mission Directorate.
