Any disruption in supply or price hike could deplete our countrys foreign reserves. The embargo by USA has also restricted India from buying oil from Iran.  Effect on Indias Diaspora in Iran and the middle east In case of a fullyfledged war the safety and security of vast Diaspora in the Gulf can be at stake.  Remittance More than 50% of total remittance received by India last year came from the gulf region. Disturbance in the region would lead to decline in such remittances.  Trade Indias trade is heavily reliant on the Strait of Hormuz and its blockade would adversely affect trade. Also status of Chabahar Port may also come in question.  Security The US has ordered resumption of military training to Pakistan which it had suspended in 2018 after accusing it of not doing enough to counter terrorist groups as part of its wider West Asia strategy. This could impact overall security of the region as several terrorist outfits may become active in the region. Conclusion Tensions between the United States and Iran have been occurring for decades. Thus a breakthrough from the vicious cycle of USIran hostility would require statesmanship in both the countries with the vision to break the stalemate. 25 Developments in this period  Enactment of the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act 2019 leading to the creation of two new Union Territories.  Unpredictable global scenario which is experiencing an overall slowdown in the backdrop of USChina trade war volatile geopolitical and oil politics situation. o Economic slowdown in India owing to factors such as weak investments exports and consumer confidence Shine india monthly magazine buy.

E.g. By including the costs and benefits of conserving the ecosystem services provided by wetlands in controlling floods compared to building flood defences. o Capturing value involves the introduction of mechanisms that incorporate the values of ecosystems into decisionmaking through incentives and price signals. This can include payments for ecosystem services reforming environmentally harmful subsidies or introducing tax breaks for conservation. Need of Green Economy  pratiyogita darpan hindi buy.

Those criminals are nowhere near reaching a desirable end nor do they have capacity to be virtuous and hence death penalty is justifiable for the greater utility of the society. Arguments against death penalty  The death penalty does not serve the penological goal of deterrence any more than life imprisonment. Further life imprisonment under Indian law means imprisonment for the whole of life subject to just remissions which in many states in cases of serious crimes are granted only after many years of imprisonment which range from 3060 years.  Retribution has an important role to play in punishment. However it cannot be reduced to vengeance. The notion of an eye for an eye tooth for a tooth has no place in our constitutionally mediated criminal justice system. Capital punishment fails to achieve any constitutionally valid penological goals. o In focusing on death penalty as the ultimate measure of justice to victims the restorative and rehabilitative aspects of justice are lost sight of Mahindra current affairs magazine buy.

What is Urban Lake?  According to the National Lake Conservation Plan (NLCP) a water body having a minimum depth of three meters spread over more than 10 hectares and having no or very little aquatic vegetation is considered as a lake. o Urban lakes are those lakes which are located entirely within city limits (census town) and directly surrounded by urban developments with some recreational facilities limited to the shoreline area (parks playgrounds). Importance of Urban Lakes Historically cities were built along waterways or lakes which influence the development of urban areas. They play a major role in providing environmental social and economic services.  They can ease the impact of floods and droughts by the means of storage.  They also help in replenishing groundwater level as they are essential receptors for groundwater recharge positively influencing water quality of downstream watercourses and preserving the biodiversity and habitat of the surrounding area.  Lakes are cooling agents and are essential to the urban microclimate.  They provide prime opportunities for recreation tourism and domestic purposes.  They constitute a primary source of water supply in many places competition success review buy.
