US Air strikes targets Islamic state leaders in Iraq

Baghdad: The gathering of lead-

ers of the Islamic State jihadists

group in northwestern Iraq was at-

tacked via airstrikes by the fighter

jets of the United States. Accord-

ing to Iraqi officials, number of top

militants had been killed in this at-

tack.

Two Iraqi officials said that at least

one strike had targeted a meeting

near the town of Quaim, which is

in Anbar province, just across the

border of the Syrian town of Buka-

mal. Both of the officials also said

that this airstrike has killed many

militants including two of its re-

gional governors from the Islamic

state which is also known as ISIL

or ISIS. Also the strong rumors

were circulated in the air that the

group leader Abu Bakr al-Bagh-

dadi was in the same meeting and

he was either killed or wounded,

however they said that they had no

confirmed information about al-

Baghdadi’s presence at the meet-

ing.

Although the death of group leader

is not confirmed yet, but if it is then

this will surely blow out the group

and would indicate that US defi-

nitely has its allies and the means

of tracking some of its important

figures.

CITY REPORTERS 2

Tourism hub faces difficulty of transportation

Natraj Chowk, Rishikesh: Rishikesh which is best known for tours and

travels should be the place with affluent transportations but the condition

however is not the way it should be and it is very much evident from the

condition prevailing at the Natraj Chowk bus station.

Natraj chowk bus station faces the

severe crisis of public transporta-

tion and there are very few buses

available for Narendra Nagar route.

The public buses run in long time

span of around two to three hours

due to which people have to opt for

the private buses which charges a

lot more than that of the public bus.

Above all to make the situation

even worse there is neither private nor public bus facility available after

seven in the evening. This transportation crisis puts the people travelling

on this route a hard nut to crack.

his life. Around five to six boys be-

longing to the age group of seven-

teen to twenty four years drown

and lose their life every month. Au-

thorities however are concerned

about rising numbers of incidents

and restrict people from getting too

close to water as they are aware

about the water level, but all the

guidelines and regulations are ig-

nored by these young boys which

lead to the serious issues, like

death.

Village CallingThe students of Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, Delhi visited Madsi, a small vil-

lage in Rishikesh. This was a task where students were asked to do as

per the curriculum of the study tour.

This village is situated approximately

20kms away from this resort. Students

had to walk for approximately two to

three kilometers after getting down

from the bus. So, it was somewhat dif-

ficult but the enthusiasm and longing

to meet the village dwellers was above

all tiredness. Their visit proved to be

fruitful as they discussed problems

which the senior citizens face there.

They talked about promoting education and sanitation issues which the

villages deal with. After enquiring, they realized that they have schooling

facility till 12th standard. Another hardship these people face all the time

is power-cut for long hours.. The question is how much time will the gov-

ernment take to uplift this condition. Gurdeep Dhiman TVP-01

Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan

Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan, a na-

tional level campaign initiated by

the Government of India was offi-

cially launched on 2nd October

2014 at Rajghat, New Delhi. Prime

Minister Narendra Modi himself

was seen wielding broom for the

first time.

Although this campaign triggered a

positive attitude in people for being

sensitive towards their environ-

ment, but still there were places

which were not strictly following

this initiative. Garbage dumped

over the roadsides by people is still

noticeable. The government is

working hard for this cleanliness

drive. This is a campaign which

has been carried forward since it

has come into action.

Recently, PM Narendra Modi was

seen as an active participant for

carrying forward his campaign at

Assi Ghat, his Lok Sabha

constituency.

Teach them too...

Education is very important for

everyone, but it holds its utmost

importance for girls and women.

Education opens the gate for a

wider view of opportunities.

Women are the roots of life cycle,

so it becomes very important that

they should be imparted with qual-

ity education. Educated girls are

likely to marry later and have a

small and healthy family. Mostly,

education enables a woman to

know their rights and arises confi-

dence to present herself in front of

the society. Investment in girl’s ed-

ucation can result in good payback

for the families. Educated women

can lead educated generation.

They can also represent the liter-

acy rate in the society.

I don’t mind, if I have to sit on the

floor at school,

All I want is good education and I

am afraid of no one…

National language On The Verge of Extinction

Today, we are living in the so called modern India, an India where new

generation is advanced enough but the biggest hinderance that they

face is there own mother tongue “Hindi”.The question that rises in my

mind is that why today’s generation is not intrested in their own lan-

guage?

Hindi is a language which is not only the National language of India

but it is also one of the beautiful language. But now a days it seems as

if people are hardly interested in speaking & writing in hindi . People

now feel fancy when they talk in english and feel ashamed while talk-

ing in hindi since this is not an international language.

The ever-growing language in India has turned us to be English. The

reasons are many.One is that people are given admission to their re-

quired organisations or institutions on the basis of their command in

english . But it does not mean we forget how important hindi language

is. People communicate in hindi and feel comfortable in expressing

themselves. Extinction of animals and endangered species might not

be in everybody’s hands but let us not make this language extinct. Let

us love and respect our language.
