Extremely sorry to hear of the passing of Shri Manohar Parrikar, Chief Minister of Goa, after an illness borne with fortitude and dignity. 

An epitome of integrity and dedication in public life, his service to the people of Goa and of India will not be forgotten, President of India Ram Nath Kovind tweets on Manohar Parrikar's death.

Goa Chief Minister Manohar had passes away at the age of 63 on Sunday. Parrikar, who was diagnosed with a "life-threatening disease" pancreatic ailment last year, was discharged from the Goa Medical College and Hospital near Panaji on February 26 last month. He had undergone treatment in hospitals of the US and the All India Institute of Medical Sciences in Delhi.

The former Defence Minister's health took a turn for the worse in the past two days. Several BJP leaders and allies in the ruling government in the state had met him on Saturday.

आत्म गौरव न्यूज़ .कॉम की ओर से हिंदी पत्रकारिता दिवस की हार्दिक शुभकामनाएं

आत्म गौरव न्यूज़ .कॉम की ओर से हिंदी पत्रकारिता दिवस की हार्दिक शुभकामनाएं ..

हिंदी पत्रकारिता दिवस 30 मई को मनाया जाता है। 

आज ही के दिन 1826 में पंडित युगुल किशोर शुक्ल ने प्रथम हिन्दी समाचार पत्र 'उदन्त मार्तण्ड' का प्रकाशन व संपादन आरम्भ किया था। 
इस प्रकार भारत में हिंदी पत्रकारिता की आधारशिला पंडित जुगल किशोर शुक्ल ने डाली थी। 
वे यूपी के कानपुर संयुक्त प्रदेश (कानपुर उस समय एक संयुक्त प्रदेश था) के निवासी थे।

उदंत मार्तण्ड हिंदी का प्रथम समाचार पत्र था जिसका प्रकाशन 30 मई, 1826 को कलकत्ता से एक साप्ताहिक पत्र के रूप में आरंभ हुआ था। उस समय अंग्रेज़ी, फारसी और बांग्ला में तो अनेक पत्र निकल रहे थे किंतु हिंदी में एक भी पत्र प्रकाशित नहीं होता था। 
प्रारंभिक रूप में इसकी केवल 500 प्रतियां ही मुद्रित हुई थीं पर इसके पाठक कलकत्ता से बहुत दूर होने के कारण इसका प्रकाशन लम्बे समय तक न चल सका क्योंकि उस समय कलकत्ता में हिंदी भाषियों की संख्या बहुत कम थी व डाक द्वारा भेजे जाने वाले इस पत्र के खर्चे इतने बढ़ गए कि इसे अंग्रेज़ों के शासन में चला पाना असंभव हो गया। 
अंतत: 4 दिसम्बर 1826 को इसके प्रकाशन को विराम देना पड़ा।

Speaking to journalists at a press stakeout at UN Headquarters, in New York, Guterres also highlighted the growing impact of climate change and said that over the past 30 years, the number of annual weather-related disasters nearly tripled, causing great economic losses.

“Scientists are learning more and more about the links between climate change and extreme weather,” said the Secretary General.

“Climate change is warming the seas. This, in turn, means more water vapor in the atmosphere [and] when storms come, they bring more rain,” he added.

China starts seizing copies of Holy Quran?

Beijing, Sep 28:Â China on Thursday termed as "groundless" a report that authorities were asking people in the restive Xinjiang region to hand in religious items including copies of the Quran and prayer rugs.

Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lu Kang said people in Xinjiang were working and living in peace.

"We hope that relevant parties should refrain from making groundless accusations and rumours," Lu said.

Xinjiang, a Muslim-dominated restive province in China, is located in the northwest of the country.

Beijing is always wary of Uygur Muslims, who it suspects of spreading unrest and separatist activities. The ethnic minority resents Han Chinese.

China has reportedly taken repressive measures like banning Islamic names and banning Islamic festivals among others.

The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor begins from Kashgar in Xinjiang.
