Indian power plants run critically low on coal
NEW DELHI: Nearly a third of India's coal-fired power plants are operating with critically low fuel stocks despite government efforts to boost supplies, as an extended spell of hot weather keeps electricity demand elevated, government data showed.India's peak power demand, a measure of the maximum electricity requirement, has been hovering near the record 270.70 gigawatts touched in May.Demand has consistently reached around 267 GW over the past few days, driven by increased cooling needs amid an El Nino weather pattern.The number of power plants with critical low coal stocks of less than 25% of the required inventory or only able to generate power for less than three days rose sharply to 59 as of September 9 from 45 at the end of August, data from the Central Electricity Authority showed.The increasing number of power plants with lower coal stocks is a concern, said Manoj Kumar, an analyst at the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air.While clean energy, mainly solar power, is meeting much of the daytime electricity demand, insufficient battery storage and lower water reservoir levels are putting pressure on coal-fired generation, analysts said.In the immediate term, India should increase coal supplies to utilities through the rail network to maintain normal stock levels, Kumar said.India deployed 444 trains or rakes on September 6 to boost coal supplies to power plants, up from 370 on September 3.Coal India and its subsidiaries have also increased coal shipments by road.Coal India, the world's largest coal miner, said it continues to hold adequate stocks of about 76 million metric tons at its pitheads.

iPhone Duo at Rs 2,99,900: Why Apples First Foldable Costs More in India
Apples first foldable iPhone, the iPhone Duo, starts at Rs 2,99,900 in India, significantly higher than its $1,999 US starting price.

Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Sep 10 (IANS) The Karnataka governments decision to make it mandatory to sing only two stanzas of the national song Vande Mataram at events organised by the state government, while prescribing the full song for programmes attended by the President, Prime Minister or Governor, is set to trigger a political controversy. The order, issued by the Department of Personnel and Administrative Reforms (DPAR) on Thursday, stated that the first two stanzas of Vande Mataram should be sung at government events in the state. However, the government has made an exception for programmes attended by the President, Prime Minister or Governor, where the national song will be sung in its entirety. The state government said the decision was aimed at maintaining uniformity, respect and proper protocol while playing or singing Vande Mataram at official functions. The State Government has considered it necessary to maintain uniformity, respect, and proper protocol for the playing/singing of the national song Vande Mataram, the order stated. The government also noted that the song had played an important role in fostering nationalism, unity and patriotism during Indias freedom movement. The order referred to guidelines issued by the Union Ministry of Home Affairs on the official version of Vande Mataram and its singing or playing at various government and public functions. The Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India, has issued guidelines on the official version of the national song Vande Mataram and its singing or playing at various government and public functions, to be followed as appropriate for the occasion, the order said. The decision comes amid a wider political debate over the singing of Vande Mataram. The original song comprises six stanzas, while the first two stanzas are commonly used for official and public renditions. In February, the Centre had made it mandatory to sing the full Vande Mataram at public gatherings and official events and introduced a Bill in Parliament proposing to make disrupting or preventing the singing of the national song a criminal offence. The Karnataka governments decision to prescribe only two stanzas for most state government events, while requiring the full song when the President, Prime Minister or Governor is present, is likely to invite criticism from the Opposition and trigger a political debate over the protocol surrounding the national song. The Congress has previously defended its position on Vande Mataram, saying its stand is in line with the decision taken by the partys top leadership in 1937 in the presence of Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, Rabindranath Tagore, Subhas Chandra Bose and Sardar Patel. The Congress has maintained that the 1937 decision was made in the context of the national movement and has been cited to explain the partys position on the portions of Vande Mataram that should be sung. The latest Karnataka order is therefore expected to become another flashpoint in the ongoing political debate over the national song, particularly with the state government drawing a distinction between routine official functions and programmes attended by the countrys highest constitutional authorities.

Karnataka's Congress government has ordered singing only the first two stanzas of Vande Mataram. This directive applies to state-organized programmes, excluding those with top dignitaries. The Union Home Ministry had previously directed singing all six stanzas of the national song. This decision aligns with the Congress Working Committee's 1937 resolution on the matter. The state order aims to maintain uniformity and appropriate protocol for national song renditions.
