Dear Friend,
Permafrost in the Arctic is now thawing so fast that scientists are literally losing their measuring equipment. This is due to the fact that instead of there being just a few centimeters of thawing each year, now several meters of soil can become destabilized in a matter of days.
8 June has been designated by the United Nations General Assembly as the International Day of the Oceans to highlight the important role that the United Nations has played in creating the Law of the Sea Convention. Nevertheless there are maritime delimitation disputes that are currently dangerous and require good-faith negotiations to prevent increased tensions.
Ram Puniyani has got threat to his life on phone calls. A few months back, some plain cloths policemen too came to his home in the name of passport inquiry which he had never applied for. Now, a person threatened him on telephone. Maharashtra government must ensure protection of Dr Ram Puniyani and arrest the goons threatening him
