Womens Reservation Act nations sentiment: PM Modi
Dehradun, Apr 14: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said that the Womens Reservation Act was passed with the support of all parties after a long wait and urged them to back the amendments in laws to ensure its implementation in the 2029 elections, calling it the collective sentiment of the nation. Let all political parties come together to unanimously take forward this initiative, which concerns the rights of the sisters and daughters of the nation, PM Modi said at a public meeting here ahead of the three-day special sittings of Parliament from April 16 to consider a legislative package, including amendments to the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam, to implement quota for women from the 2029 Lok Sabha elections. In September 2023, Parliament passed the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam, commonly known as the Womens Reservation Act, that provided for the reservation of one-third of seats for women in the Lok Sabha and legislative assemblies. The PM said that women have a pivotal role to play in the making of a developed India and asserted that Indian democracy will become stronger and more vibrant if elections to the Lok Sabha and various assemblies in 2029 are held with womens quota fully in place. Today, from Devbhumi (Uttarakhand), I once again appeal to all political parties across the country to extend their full support to the amendment of the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam. In 2029, we will ensure that 50 per cent of our countrys population receives their rightful due, he said. PM Modi said that all political parties had come forward to extend their support to this landmark Act which was passed after a wait of four decades. There should be no further delay in delivering this rightful entitlement to women, and the Act should be fully implemented starting with the Lok Sabha elections scheduled for 2029, he said. This reflects the collective sentiment of the nation. It is the cherished wish of every sister and daughter across the country, the PM said at the public meeting after the inauguration of the Delhi-Dehradun economic corridor. He said he had written a letter addressed to all the sisters of the country, requesting them to become partners in this endeavour. I have firm faith that the mothers and sisters of my country will certainly read this letter, PM Modi said. He said that when women become active participants in policy and decision-making, the journey towards a Viksit Bharat is strengthened. Thus, it is imperative that we do whatever is possible to add more vigour to our development trajectory and for that, the active participation of women is absolutely non-negotiable, the PM said. He said it was this principle that led to the passage of the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam in 2023 and it is the same principle that has made this constitutional amendment the need of the hour. PM Modi said that with women excelling in many fields, it is only fitting that there is an increase in their participation in legislative bodies. He said that the convenience, safety and participation in democracy of our sisters and daughters are a top priority for this double engine government. I see a very significant role for the daughters, mothers, and sisters of this country, the PM said. Referring to the ongoing conflict in West Asia, he said that this crisis had caused widespread turmoil even in developed nations. PM Modi said that even amidst such challenging circumstances, the government remains committed to ensuring that women face the least possible inconvenience. He also mentioned the Nanda Devi Raj Jat Yatra, saying it stands as a vibrant example of our cultural consciousness, where Mother Nanda is considered a daughter and is bid farewell with the utmost respect. I offer my salutations to Mother Nanda. I also wish to convey a special message to the sisters and daughters across the entire nation - you have a pivotal role to play in the making of a developed India, the PM said.

Damage to 80 energy facilities across Middle East estimated at $25 billion
New Delhi, Apr 14: More than 80 energy facilities including refineries, gas terminals and oil fields across the Middle East have been damaged since the start of the Iran war, with over one-third classified as severely or very severely hit, International Energy Agency (IEA) chief Fatih Birol has said. Estimates suggest that repairs could cost at least $25 billion and may take several years to restore these facilities to full operational capacity. The regions energy supply could take up to two years to return to pre-crisis levels. Among the worst-affected installations are the SATORP and Riyadh oil refineries, the Juaymah gas-processing plant, the Manifa and Khurais oil production facilities, and the East-West pipeline. He described the current turmoil as the largest energy security threat in history, saying the losses in oil and gas supply already far exceed those seen during the 1973 and 1979 oil shocks and after the start of the Ukraine war in 2022. Birol said the world had lost around 30 million barrels per day of oil supply so far, compared with roughly 5 million barrels per day in each of the 1970s oil crisis. In natural gas, he said the disruption has also exceeded the roughly 75 billion cubic meters lost since the start of the Ukraine war. In addition to oil and gas, he warned that the conflict is disrupting flows of fertilizers, petrochemicals, helium, and other critical commodities essential for global supply chains. He said emerging and developing economies that rely heavily on imported energy are particularly vulnerable, citing risks to inflation, economic stability, and political conditions. He also warned that Europe could face significant challenges in jet fuel and diesel supplies. This is one of the most critical issues, and unlike the past, many of the facilities are badly damaged, he said, adding that the IEA is monitoring all affected sites. In addition to oil and gas, Major sites like Irans South Pars gas field were badly hit, along with refineries at Lavan and oil depots in Shahr-e Rey, which have seen multiple strikes. Other sites include Ras Laffan LNG facility in Qatar, Habshan natural gas terminal.
