JP National President J.P. Nadda inaugurated a three-day training programme for party leaders in Puri on Saturday, urging MPs and MLAs to set aside ego and remain closely connected with people from all walks of life — especially the marginalized and underprivileged.

- STATESMAN NEWS SERVICE BHUBANESWAR, 12 APRIL:

Personality is permanent, MP, MLA positions are temporary. Develop relationship with everyone and bear in mind that IICs are a source of information for the opposition, till the code of conduct officers behave in a certain manner, more often they are selfish, he is reported to have said in the close door training session.

He also asked the legislators to call officers, discussion action plans and ascertain timelines and progress. Go the people and tell them about the work status and what action plan has been done, make a calendar of timelines, stated Nadda.

‘Cloud seeding is just cosmetic’

Amid the ongoing debate over air quality data manipulation, Delhi once again lies shrouded in toxic smog as winter sets in. With citizens, environmentalists, and political leaders taking to the streets to demand their fundamental right to clean air, questions arise: can pollution data really be tampered with, and are temporary fixes, such as anti-smog guns, mist sprays, and artificial rain, enough to clear the city’s foul air?
