एससी-एसटी एक्ट: फैसले पर रोक से कोर्ट का इनकार, कहा- हम अधिकारों की रक्षा के पक्ष में

[ad_1]

नई दिल्ली. सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने केंद्र सरकार की उस याचिका को ठुकरा दिया, जिसमें एससी-एसटी एक्ट पर दिए फैसले पर रोक लगाने की मांग की गई थी। सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने कहा कि हम 100 फीसदी पिछड़े समुदायों के अधिकारों की रक्षा के पक्ष में हैं। अदालत ने केंद्र के उस दावे से भी पूरी तरह अहसमति जताई, जिसमें कहा गया था कि फैसले की वजह से राज्यों में हुई हिंसा में लोगों की जान गई। मामले की अगली सुनवाई 16 मई को होगी। बता दें कि इससे पहले हुई सुनवाई में भी केंद्र ने कहा था कि फैसले से कानून के प्रावधान कमजोर हुए हैं।

Toxic coal ash ponds are at serious risk of flooding – ThinkProgress

[ad_1] More than a dozen ponds containing coal ash — the toxic byproduct of burning coal — are located in flood zones throughout the United States, putting them at risk of flooding during storms or high water,  according to a report released this week by a coalition of environmental and public interest groups. The report comes as the Trump administration seeks to weaken standards for coal ash disposal at the request of industry, rolling back the first-ever federal regulations on disposal for coal ash. “Putting billions of gallons of toxic  coal   ash  next to our rivers and drinking water — that’s just an accident waiting to happen,” John Rumpler, senior director of Environment America’s clean water program and co-author of the report, said in a press statement. “We should be phasing out these toxic pits. The last thing we should be doing is weakening the few standards we already have in place to limit their pollution of our waters.” Coal ash is the second-largest form of waste ...

Motion Picture Academy expels Bill Cosby as post-conviction fallout continues – ThinkProgress

[ad_1] As Bill Cosby sits under house arrest in his home in Cheltenham — the same place where he drugged and sexually assaulted Andrea Constand in 2004 — there is little he can do but wait. Cosby was convicted on all three counts of aggravated indecent assault with which he was charged, and each count carries a maximum ten-year sentence. He will be sentenced within the next two to three months. But while Cosby is imprisoned at the scene of his crime, the rest of the world — particularly his die-hard fans and those who abstained from making any determination about Cosby until the trial was over — has been left to reckon with the verdict. The biggest blow so far came on Thursday afternoon: The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced that Cosby, along with convicted rapist and Oscar winner Roman Polanski, would be expelled from the Academy. Last October, ThinkProgress asked why Cosby and Polanski were still in the academy , which had just kicked out alleg...

[ad_1] Tom Bailey in action for Lancashire © Getty Images Lancashire 439 for 9 dec (Clark 78, Mennie 68*, Bailey 66, Chanderpaul 65, Croft 62, Virdi 4-80, Dernbach 3-93) drew with Surrey 235 (Borthwick 79, Bailey 4-54, Onions 4-49, Bailey 4-53 ) and 199 for 6 (Foakes 57, Pope 41, Bailey 4-13) Scorecard In the end the dogs didn't quite bark. While there were a few curious incidents, not least Rory Burns breaking his bat in two when defending a ball from Joe Mennie, there was not the grand dénouement for which Lancashire supporters had hoped. But Surrey's batsmen did not make survival look elementary; indeed they gave one the impression it was a three-pipe problem. And there was not even a Manchester Particular to hinder them. While cricketers in much of the rest of the country sought the comfort of their firesides Old Trafford offered clear, cold sunlight and ...
