#WATCH | Banda, Uttar Pradesh: Meteorologist, Banda University of Agriculture and Technology, Dr Dinesh says, "... It is recorded as the hottest place, with temperatures consistently above 45┬░C for nearly a week. Night temperatures remain above 30┬░C, while daytime readings quickly rise from 44┬░C to 47тАУ48┬░C. Key reasons include direct sunlight due to proximity to the Tropic of Cancer, clear skies, plateau terrain with low soil moisture, drying rivers, deforestation, and mining. Hot winds from the northwest further intensify the heat. Rainfall is limited and uneven тАФ about 900 mm annually. Lack of water raises ground temperatures. Temperatures will hover around 45┬░C, with heatwave conditions persisting at least until the end of May."
I travelled through Great Nicobar today.
These are the most extraordinary forests I have ever seen in my life. Trees older than memory. Forests that took generations to grow.
The people on this island are equally beautiful - both the adivasi communities and the settlers - but they are being robbed of what is rightfully theirs.
The government calls what it is doing here a тАЬProject.тАЭ What I have seen is not a project. It is millions of trees marked for the axe. It is 160 square kilometres of rainforest condemned to die. It is communities that have been ignored while their homes have been snatched away.
This is not development. This is destruction dressed in developmentтАЩs language.
So I will say it plainly, and I will keep saying it: what is being done in Great Nicobar is one of the biggest scams and gravest crimes against this countryтАЩs natural and tribal heritage in our lifetime.
It must be stopped. And it can be stopped - if Indians choose to see what I have seen.

Raghav Chaddha Introduced a Private Member Bill to Make the Anti Defection Law more Strict.
He Said that Current Law is a Facilitator for MP/MLAs who wants to Switch Sides.
He Switched Sides Citing the Same Facilitator Two Days Ago.
Irony Pulled its own plug here!
No merger has happened. Only the original party can legally merge.
Now, the RS Chairman will act as a tribunal & must deliver a decision within 3 months.
If a merger is allowed & then if challenged in court, it will be struck down, leading to all 7 MPs losing their membership.
