New Delhi: India has overtaken China as the world’s
most populous nation, according to UN’s World Popula-
tion dashboard on Wednesday. India’s population sur-
passed 1.428 billion, slightly higher than China’s 1.425
billion people. Estimates by different agencies have
suggested that India’s population is expected to keep
rising for nearly three decades before it peaks at 165
crore and then start declining. Population demographics
of India vary from State to State. Kerala and Punjab have
an ageing population while Bihar and UP have a young
population, experts have said. “As the country with the
largest youth cohort — its 254 million youth (15-24
years) — can be a source of innovation, new thinking
and lasting solutions,” Andrea Wojnar, the representa-
tive for UNFPA India & country director for Bhutan said.
India’s 1.4
billion people
must be seen as
1.4 billion opportunities.

Bohra on Wednesday
held a meeting with
NHAI officials at his
residence regarding the
work of Northern Ring
Road. During the meet-
ing, officials said that
preparations have been

Ring Road. The MP also
instructed the officers
to redress the problem
of jams and water-log-
ging on the number 14

During this, Vidyadhar
Nagar MLA Narpat Sin-
gh Rajvi and NHAI Pro-
ject Director Harish
Chandra were present.
Notably, in 2017 JDA
proposed a realignment
of the Ring Road to
avoid the ecological
zone. In accordance, the
NHAI floated a revised
DPR that increased the
size of the Ring Road
from 76 km to 96 km.
This increase in size of
the road was accepted
so that the road did not
have any connection
with ecological zone.

dressing the general
meeting organized by the
party on Wednesday at
Nagaur district HQs be-
fore the Jan Aakrosh Ma-
hagherao, said that the
time has come to throw
out the Cong govt in Raj.
“Gehlot government
could not fulfill the prom-
ises made to the people in
4.5 years. The state gov-
ernment has cheated
every section, so now the
account has to be set-
tled,” he said.
CP Joshi targeted the
state govt by listing cases
like farmer loan waiver,
unemployment allow-
ance, paper leak. Calling
upon the youth, he said
that the way the youth
moves, the world moves
in the same direction.
Therefore, the fraud com-
mitted by the Gehlot govt
in the name of recruit-
ment has to be answered
in the elections. Joshi
repeatedly mentioned
the farmers in his speech
and said that the Modi
govt wants to provide re-
lief to the farmers in dis-
tress, but the state gov-
ernment is sitting on
suppressingthatamount.

RINCETON – Should jour-
nalists say and write what
they think? Recent contro-
versies have given new
urgency to old questions
about journalists’ profes-
sional ethics and political
role in democracy
.
An ongoing defamation
lawsuit has exposed how
– and how often – Fox
News anchors lied to their
viewers about claims that
the 2020 US presidential
election was “stolen.” The
BBC suspended former
soccer striker Gary Linek-
er for tweets criticizing
the British government’s
refugee policies, allegedly
in violation of the broad-
caster’s traditional com-
mitment to impartiality.
And journalists every-
where are debating wheth-
er taking a political posi-
tion crosses some danger-
ous line into “activism.”
Yet the conventional
distinction between “jour-
nalist” and “activist” is
badly conceived, because
there has never been any-
thing passive about jour-
nalists’ role. At a time
when autocrats are con-
solidating power by at-
tacking “the media” (or
dismissing all critical re-
porting as “fake news”),
those who refuse to call
out such behavior are ef-
fectively tolerating rising
authoritarianism. There
is nothing neutral about
their silence.
As many media critics
have rightly pointed out,
the traditional practice of
mechanically reproduc-
ing “both sides” of a po-
litical dispute often dis-
torts reality
. Hence, a 2014
headline in The Atlantic
warned, “Yes, polariza-
tion is asymmetric – and
conservatives are worse.”
Since then, the Republi-
can Party has become
fully Trumpified and
turned against democracy
itself. Portraying such an
asymmetrical situation as
symmetrical creates the
appearance of traditional
journalistic objectivity at
the expense of truth.
According to media crit-
ic Jay Rosen, this “both-
sidesism” is driven not so
much by a professional
ethics of objectivity as by
a journalist’s preemptive
effort to avoid accusations
of “partisanship.” It is
more about “refuge-seek-
ing” than “truth-seeking,”
covered by a veneer of im-
maculate neutrality
.
Conversely, a journalist
who becomes a self-styled
member of the democrat-
ic “resistance” can lose
credibility if such resist-
ance translates into a par-
ticular position on issues
like the proper size of un-
employment benefits,
which, while important,
are hardly at the core of
democracy as such. Since
democracies will always
have a host of legitimate
disagreements to navi-
gate, investing every story
with an agenda – be it pro-
gressive or conservative
– does more than lead to
slanted reporting. It also
implies contempt for one’s
fellow citizens, who ap-
parently cannot be trust-
ed to make up their own
minds. There is no short-
age of handwringing
about the public’s declin-
ing “trust in the media,”
but this relationship goes
both ways.
Rather than framing
the issue as “journalism
versus activism,” a more
useful distinction is that
between reporting and ad-
vocacy (which is not the
same as “opinion journal-
ism” offered by figures
who routinely comment
on all kinds of issues).
Both practices have to
rely on facts, and both ask
their audiences to keep an
open mind. While report-
ers’ primary emphasis is
on informing, advocates
focus on reforming; but
that goal need not bar
them from doing investi-
gative work – on the con-
trary
, it is often what gives
such work its force.
Critics of advocacy por-
tray it as an alternative to
faithful reportage of facts
without bias. But a good
advocate will of course
pursue what Carl Bern-
stein famously called the
“best obtainable version
of the truth.” One need
only look to Ida B. Wells,
who repeatedly risked her
life to report meticulously
on lynching in the Ameri-
can South. Careful, accu-
rate reporting was the
very basis for her cam-
paigning, not somehow its
opposite.
What distinguishes ad-
vocacy from reporting is
that it goes beyond pre-
senting the facts by build-
ing a community of fol-
lowers. Maintaining con-
tinuous communication
for and about a cause has
always been the best way
to create and mobilize
support for it. As long as
the process is out in the
open, there need not be
any clash with profession-
al ethics.
The crux of the Fox
News scandal is not that it
showed Fox to be openly
partisan; it’s that the net-
work’s “stars” and pro-
ducers knew that claims
of a “stolen” election were
false and chose to amplify
them anyway
. Ratings and
profits came before facts.
This ordering of priori-
ties was made manifest at
the height of the COV-
ID-19 pandemic: while
Fox’s on-screen personali-
ties were clamoring for
“freedom” and “opening
the economy,” Fox’s offic-
es remained closed and its
employees were asked to
work from home.
Professional news or-
ganizations (a category
that obviously does not
include Fox) can have
both advocates and re-
porters. What matters is
that a news organization’s
audience can assess what
it is about – how it makes
editorial choices and how
it makes money
. These cri-
teria are easier to meet if
media organizations have
public editors who engage
with audience concerns
seriously
, thereby increas-
ing trustworthiness.
To be sure, as Pippa Nor-
ris of Harvard University
notes, trust is not a good in
itself. Plenty of people
trusted online quacks and
COVID deniers during the
pandemic, and some peo-
ple are still reaching for
patently unsuitable medi-
cations like Ivermectin
because Donald Trump
and Jair Bolsonaro en-
dorsed it as a “cure.” What
a democracy needs from
its citizens is what Norris
calls skeptical trust, based
on evidence of institu-
tions’ competence and in-
tegrity, not cynical mis-
trust or credulity
.

P
By engaging with
audiences and being
transparent about
advocacy and reporting,
media organizations can
increase trust by proving
their own trustworthiness.
Reporters and advocates –
alongside columnists and
freelancers like Lineker –
must be objective, which is
to say they must strive for
accuracy. But supporting
a cause and building a
community for it is not
the same thing as “bias.”
What’s more, when
protections for free speech
and the press are under
relentless assault from
autocrats, the virtue
of impartiality can
become a vice
CAN JOURNALISTS BE ACTIVISTS?

At a time when autocrats
are consolidating power by
attacking “the media,”
old debates about
journalism’s role in a
democracy and how
journalists should
conduct themselves
need to be revisited.
Advocacy is no less
legitimate and valuable
than reporting, as long as
it is based on a
commitment to truth
he growing fire
risk in these ar-
eas became
startling clear
in 2020, when
Colorado’s East Trouble-
some Fire burned up and
over the Continental Di-
vide to become the state’s
second-largest fire on re-
cord. The following year,
California’s Dixie Fire be-
came the first on record to
burn across the Sierra Ne-
vada’s crest and start down
the other side.
We study wildfire behav-
ior as climate scientists
and engineers. In a new
study, we show that fire
risk has intensified in eve-
ry region across the West
over the past four decades,
but the sharpest upward
trends are in the high ele-
vations.
High mountain fires can
create a cascade of risks
for local ecosystems and
for millions of people liv-
ing farther down the
mountains.
Since cooler, wetter high
mountain landscapes rare-
ly burn, vegetation and
dead wood can build up, so
highland fires tend to be
intense and uncontrolla-
ble. They can affect every-
thing from water quality
and the timing of meltwa-
ter that communities and
farmers rely on, to erosion
that can bring debris and
mud flows. Ultimately,
they can change the hy-
drology, ecology and geo-
morphology of the high-
lands, with complex feed-
back loops that can trans-
form mountain landscapes
and endanger human
safety
.
While the risk is rising
fastest in the high moun-
tains, most of the West is
now at increasing risk of
fires. With continuing
greenhouse gas emissions
fueling global warming,
this trend of worsening
fire danger is expected to
intensify further, straining
firefighting resources as
crews battle more blazes..

EJACULATION NOT
NECESSARY TO
PROVE ASSAULT: HC
Amaravati: Ejaculation of
semen is not a necessary
prerequisite to prove
penetrative sexual assault,
the Andhra Pradesh High
Court has held while
upholding a convict’s
sentencing under the
Protection of Children
from Sexual Offences Act
(POCSO) case recently.
Justice Cheekati Manaven-
dranath Roy observed that
even if the evidence on re-
cord shows that there was
penetration, it is sufficient
to constitute an offence of
penetrative sexual assault
as defined under Section 3
of the POCSO Act.

Ahmedabad (PTI): A sessions court in Surat is likely to

Gandhi’s plea for a stay on his conviction in a criminal def-
amation case over his “Modi
surname” remark. A stay order
could pave the way for Gand-
hi’s reinstatement as a Member
of Parliament. The court of
Additional Sessions Judge had
reserved its verdict for April 20
on Gandhi’s application for a
stay on conviction pending his appeal against a lower court’s
order sentencing him to 2 years in jail in the case. Gandhi
had submitted that trial court treated him harshly after being
overwhelmingly influenced by his status as an MP.

Cow conservation scam of `12.39L hits Gopalan department
Kashiram Choudhary
Jaipur: A scam of Rs 29
lakhhasbeenconfirmed
in the name of the con-
servation and promo-
tion plan of Gir, Thar-
parkar breeds in the
Gopalan department.
The payment was made
to the firm without the
permission of the Fi-
nance Department.
First India News has ex-
posed the scam on
March 9 and now the
Comptroller and Audi-
tor General of India
(CAG) has accepted in
its report that there was
a scam.
The amount spent on
the plan item is consid-
ered suspicious and in-
structions have been
given to recover the
amount of Rs 12.39 lakh.
This is the first scam
of its kind in the name
of cattle promotion in
the state. In fact, for the
conservation and pro-
motion of cows of the
Gir and Tharparkar
breed, the cows were in-
seminated through em-
bryo transfer technique
by the Dept of Gopalan.
Embryo implantation
was done in 150 cows,
butonly31of thesecows
were successful in preg-
nancy

Shivendra Parmar
Jaipur: In Rajasthan,
the craze of electric ve-
hicles has been increas-
ing continuously for
some time and now the
sale of two-wheelers is
also happening very fast
in the state. Troubled by
the record prices of pet-
rol and diesel, people
are now turning to e-ve-
hicles.
The effect of heavy
demand is that there is a
shortage of vehicles in
every city of the state
including Jaipur and
people are getting deliv-
ery only after 1 month
of the booking. In the
last few months, 11 elec-
tric buses have been reg-
istered in Jaipur city,
these buses operate sep-
arately in Jaipur city
.
Transport Commis-
sioner KL Swamy says
that the state govern-
ment has implemented
the e-vehicle policy in
the state from Septem-
ber 1 last year, due to
whichthefigureof sales
of e-vehicles in the state
is large. He said that the
figure of increasing
sales of vehicles in the
state is very encourag-
ing and the number of
e-vehicles sold in the
state last year has bro-
kenalltherecordssofar.

Rajendra Chhabra
Jaipur: For the smooth
working of government
intheState,itisrequired
that there is proper un-
derstanding and cooper-
ation between the Dis-
trict Collector and Su-
perintendent of Police
(SP). And if the issue of
law and order is con-
cerned, then the duo
must work in conjunc-
tion and support each
other.
But during the recent
idol issue in Bharatpur,
immense friction was
observed between the
two. 2013 batch young
IAS officer Alok Ranjan
took over as the Bharat-
pur Collector on Janu-
ary 11, 2022 and after
twentydaysafterhistak-
ing to the office, Shyam
Singh (who was promot-
ed from RPS to IPS in
January 2020) was post-
edasSPBharatpur.How-
ever,fromthebeginning,
a‘tussle’startedbetween
the two top officials of
thedistrict.Accordingto
sources,theSPisnotgiv-
ing the ‘required impor-
tance’ to the Collector,
even though according
to protocol, Alok Ranjan
is immensely senior to
Shyam Singh.
Recently
, when two
groups clashed at Nad-
bai circle over installing
the idol of Maharaja
Surajmal and Dr Bhim-
rao Ambedkar, the rift
between Collector and
SP could be seen easily
.
Although both of them
went to the site of the in-
cident on the night of
April 12, but thereafter,
in the meetings related
to law and order, both
were seen to be at the
corresponding ends of
the spectrum. Sources
reveal that if they had
been working together
in the fashion of ‘ek aur
ek gyarah’, the situation
would not have become
bad.
Similarly
, when com-
munal clashes occurred
in Karauli last year, the
situation became worse
because Collector Rajen-
dra Singh Shekhawat
andSPShailendraSingh
Indoliyadidnotholddis-
cussionswitheachother
and both were novices
when it came to han-
dling such a dire situa-
tion as both Shekhawat
and Indoliya were first-
time Collector and SP
respectively
. Sources re-
veal that if the duo had
decided mutually on the
line to work upon, the
situationwouldnothave
become bad.
Clash between Collec-
torandSPwaswitnessed
in Bikaner as well when
Namit Mehra was the
CollectorandPritiChan-
dra was SP
. A major pay-
ment of one relative of
SP Priti Chandra’s was
stuck in UIT, but the Col-
lector pointed to several
shortfalls in the pay-
mentandsentthematter
before the government.
Since then, the relation-
ship between Collector
and SP soured.
WhenPiyushSamaria
was serving as Dausa
Collector and Manish
Agrawal as SP
, the duo
couldn’t strike a chord.
As a result, the Collector
had to report of Man-
ish’s activities to gov-
ernment. However, later
Manish was arrested in
a graft case and was
lodged in jail for several
days. When in January
2022, IPS Preeti was ap-
pointed as SP Chittor-
garh, Tarachand Meena
was serving as Collector.
When Preeti started
striking those involved
in illegal activities, who
hadallegedprotectionof
a local MLA, the under-
standingbetweenCollec-
tor and SP soured as the
Collector shared good
relations with MLA.
After the recent inci-
dent in Bharatpur, it is
said that Collector SP
can be changed. As such
in currentdispensation,
half adozenCollectors
5 SPs have been changed
in Bharatpur district.
Of friction and power struggle between Collectors and SPs!

Jaipur: AICC State in
charge Sukhjinder Sin-
gh Randhawa on
Wednesday, made it
clear that he will not
tolerate statements that
harm the party and if
anyone has a misunder-
standing, he should re-
move it.
Randhawa gave this
clear message in con-
text of the statements
given by former deputy
CM Sachin Pilot and
MoS Rajendra Singh
Gudha in presence of
CM Ashok Gehlot and
PCC Chief GS Dotasra
at a party workshop
here. “Such statements
will not be tolerated in
the party, if there is any
“Turram Khan”, re-
move your misunder-
standing, otherwise I
will remove it,” he said.
“The atmosphere in
Rajasthan is in favour
of the Congress and I
want such a Congress,”
he said.
The statement of
Randhawa is being seen
as a counterattack on
the statement of Sachin
Pilot and Rajendra Gud-
ha.Recently, Gudha had
challenged the party
leadership to take ac-
tion against Sachin Pi-
lot.
Randhawa said that
relations do not matter
to him because the par-
ty is paramount for him
therefore strict action
will be taken against
whoever works against
the party
.

vind Singh Dotasara
while addressing the
workshop said that the
organization will ex-
pand in the next 15 days.

survey will be conduct-
ed and only the one who
will work will get the
ticket, otherwise the
tickets of the winning
MLAs will also be cut.
Congress leader Mo-
han Prakash said that
no one should have the
misconception that he
brought the govern-
ment alone because it
takes everyone’s hard
work to bring the party
to power.
MLA KL Bairwa sug-
gested to Congress lead-
ership saying that time
has come when the 7
seater chopper of Con-
gress should be seen in

by repeating the old
stand, Randhawa said,
“The statement I gave
before the ‘anshan’ is
party’s stand. I keep
talking to Sachin Pilot.”
On the night of April 10,
just before Pilot’s fast,
Randhawa had issued a
statement calling Pi-
lot’s fast an anti-party
activity. About a query
on action taken after Pi-
lot’s fast, Randhawa
said, “The discussion
could have happened in
State Assembly. There
is no bigger platform
than that. Opposition,
CM, entire Congress
BJP was there. He could
have asked what has
our govet done till date?
The anshan may be a
personal aspect.”
