Contentious issue The draft notification only mentions BIScompliance which gives rise to several concerns  BIScompliance depends on several parameters not just TDS. o Thus household receiving water with acceptable TDS levels (below 500 mgl) but with other elements (eg nitrates sulphates fluorides etc) above the acceptable limit of BIS will still not comply with the specification. The household however would not require an RO system to treat it as TDS was already within limits and RO systems are ineffective in treating other impurities.  The BIS does not have any minimum limit for TDS in treated water Thus the issue of demineralisation of water after RO which adversely affects the health of consumers has not been addressed pratiyogita darpan hindi buy.

Background  For over three decades the office of the Speaker has been under controversies for its decisions on the disqualification of MLAs who switch sides for profit or political power thus undermining democracy. Demand to address this chronic problem has been gaining ground for long. About Antidefection Law  The antidefection law sought to prevent political defections which may be due to reward of office or other similar considerations.  For this the Tenth Schedule was inserted in the Constitution in 1985 by the 52nd Amendment Act.  It lays down the process by which legislators may be disqualified on grounds of defection by the Presiding Officer of a legislature based on a petition by any other member of the House.  A legislator is deemed to have defected if o he either voluntarily gives up the membership of his party or o disobeys the directives of the party leadership on a vote. This implies that a legislator defying (abstaining or voting against) the party whip on any issue can lose his membership of the House)  The law applies to both Parliament and state assemblies.  Exceptions under the law Legislators may change their party without the risk of disqualification in certain circumstances. o The law allows a party to merge with or into another party provided that at least twothirds of its legislators are in favour of the merger. o If a person is elected as the speaker of Lok Sabha or the Chairman of Rajya Sabha then he could resign from his party and rejoin the party once he demits that post.  Recent Instances o Latest case is from Manipur which involves disqualification of a Congress legislator who joined the Ruling Bhartiya Janata Party right after the 2017 Assembly elections. The Congress had asked the Manipur Speaker to disqualify him and the Speaker failed to act and kept the petition pending. o Similarly the Supreme Court had to intervene the Karnataka MLAs disqualification case where it had held that a Speaker who cannot stay aloof from the pressures and wishes of his political party does not deserve to occupy his chair. o In Andhra Pradesh 23 opposition partys MLAs had defected over a period of time to ruling Party in the last three years putting a question mark on the role of the speaker. o Again in Telangana in 2016 its legislative assembly speaker had to deal with the defection of 12 of the 15 TDP MLAs in the 119member assembly arihant current affairs magazine buy.

At the district level a dual system of control exists. At the metropolitan level many states have replaced the dual system with the Commissionerate system. Dual system Commissionerate system Dual command structure over the district police means that control and direction over the police vests with the SP (head of district police) and the District Magistrate (executive). Unified command structure with the Commissioner of Police (rank of the Deputy Inspector General or above) as the sole head of the force within the city. Separation of powers of the DM (e.g. issues arrest warrants and licenses) and the police (e.g. investigate crimes and make arrests). Therefore less concentration of power in the police and accountability to DM at the district level. Powers of policing and magistracy concentrated in Commissioner. Directly accountable to state government and state police chief. Lesser accountability to the local administration.  It gives an integrated command structure which helps in speedy decision. It helps fix responsibility with the Commissioner and eliminates blame game between civil administration and police when something goes wrong.  It reduce workload of District Magistrate SP is assisted by AdditionalAssistant Deputy SPs Inspectors and constabulary.
