Tripura Celebrates World Turtle Day with Conservation Push at Matabari #India : Tripura celebrates World Turtle Day – for the first time – at Matabari with a conservation push at Kalyan Sagar, featuring turtle releases, ‘Turtle Ambassadors,’ and sapling planting to protect rare Bostami turtles and promote biodiversity. Tripura witnessed a historic moment on Friday as World Turtle Day was observed for the first time at Dhanya Manikya Mukta Mancha, situated beside the sacred Kalyan Sagar lake at Matabari in Udaipur under the Gomati District of Tripura. The vibrant event, marked by enthusiastic participation, underscored the state’s commitment to preserving its unique biodiversity and promoting environmental stewardship. The ceremony was attended by State Finance, Planning & IT Minister, also the local MLA Pranajit Singha Roy, who inaugurated the event alongside State Forest Minister Animesh Debbarma, Matabari MLA Abhishek Debroy, Kakraban Shalgara MLA Jitendra Majumdar, and other distinguished guests. In a symbolic gesture, the ministers released baby turtles into Kalyan Sagar, reinforcing their dedication to safeguarding the region’s aquatic ecosystem. Minister Pranajit Singha Roy emphasized the critical need to protect all species, highlighting that biodiversity is the cornerstone of ecological balance. He called for heightened public awareness to conserve Kalyan Sagar’s turtles and fish, urging the District Magistrate to implement measures to ensure the well-being of the lake’s turtle population. A key highlight was the appointment of ten local youths as ‘Turtle Ambassadors.’ These volunteers will spearhead efforts to raise awareness and protect the region’s rare Bostami turtles, a species integral to Tripura’s natural heritage. Forest Minister Animesh Debbarma stressed collective responsibility, asserting that turtles have a fundamental right to thrive in their natural habitat. Meanwhile, MLA Abhishek Debroy highlighted the deep cultural and spiritual significance of the turtle population, particularly their connection to the revered Tripura Sundari Temple. Gomati District Magistrate Tarit Kanti Chakma lauded the state government and Finance Minister for their focus on Matabari’s development. He noted that Kalyan Sagar is home to five turtle species, including two exclusive to the Matabari region and one found in only one other country, underscoring the urgent need for their conservation. The event concluded with dignitaries planting saplings on the temple grounds as a pledge toward sustainable conservation, followed by paying homage to Mata Tripura Sundari.

World Turtle Day : Raising Awareness World Turtle Day, first observed in the year 2000, is commemorated globally on May 23 each year. World Turtle Day serves as a global platform to shed light on the hardships faced by turtles and tortoises. It encourages public engagement, spreading awareness about the risks these ancient reptiles endure and promoting initiatives to conserve them. Having existed for over 200 million years, turtles now face critical threats primarily due to human interference. This day champions education, activism, and tangible conservation actions to ensure the survival of these extraordinary species and the protection of their habitats. Interesting facts about turtles : According to worldanimalprotection.org, while all tortoises fall under the broader category of turtles, not all turtles are tortoises. Tortoises are a type of turtle that live exclusively on land, unlike other turtle species that inhabit oceans and freshwater bodies. Turtles are remarkable navigators, using the Earth’s magnetic field to guide them back to the very shores where they were born to lay their own eggs. As they move between coastal feeding areas and nesting beaches, turtles help enrich the environment by transporting essential nutrients, supporting the health and vitality of these ecosystems. A turtle’s shell is an intricate structure formed by the fusion of around 50 bones. However, their appeal as decorative items and ornaments has endangered their survival since the 1700s. Turtles are known for their social nature and tendency to travel in large groups across expansive oceanic distances—traits that also make them unsuitable for domestication.

Educational institutions, brimming with young students, thrive in the Bijapur district, where schools were once shut down due to naxal terror Chhattisgarh | Bijapur Collector Sambit Mishra says, "In the last 5 years, more than 250 schools have been reopened in our district, which were earlier operating… We are upgrading the infrastructure. Earlier, schools used to be in huts, but now permanent buildings have been sanctioned for most of the schools… As schools are opening inside the villages, we are trying to get the remaining few attending school by staying in our residential facilities, like hostels, to attend schools in their villages from their homes. As security camps are opening, area accessibility is increasing, and the accessibility to education is also expanding in many ways… We are conducting surveys for dropout children in every household. After identification, we will find out why and try to get as many children as possible back to school."

Jammu & Kashmir LG Manoj Sinha pays his last respect to BSF Sub Inspector Md Imteyaz, who lost his life during cross-border firing by Pakistan along the International Boundary in RS Pura Area #Delhi : Defence Minister Rajnath Singh says, "...The anti-India & terror organisations which attacked the crown of Bharat Mata (Kashmir) and erased the 'sindoor' from several families, Indian armed forces got justice for them through #OperationSindoor. So, the entire country is expressing gratitude to the Indian armed forces. Operation Sindoor is not just a military operation but also the symbol of India's political, social and strategic willpower. This operation against terrorism was also the display of India's willpower and military power & capability. We have shown that whenever India will take any action against terrorism, even the land beyond border won't be safe for terrorists and their leaders. Indian armed forces launched Operatoon Sindoor to demolish terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan. We never targeted their civilians. But Pakistan not only targeted civilian areas in India but also attempted to attack temples, gurdwaras and churches. With valour and bravery, Indian armed forces displayed restraint and gave a befitting reply by targeting other locations in Pakistan. We not only targeted military bases near the border but the reverberation of Indian armed forces was heard even in Rawalpindi where the HQ of Pakistani Army is located. After Uri incident, the entire world saw what is the result of carrying terrorist attacks in India, when our armed forces entered Pakistan and carried out surgical strike. They saw it after Pulwama, when Balakot airstrike was done. After Pahalgam incident, the world is watching when India entered Pakistan and carried out multiple strikes. Following the path of zero tolerance against terrorism, our PM Narendra Modi has made it clear that it is 'Naya Bharat' which will take effective steps against terrorism on both sides of the border. Our PM has made this very clear."

Introduction The way people consume news has changed dramatically over the past few decades. From printed newspapers to online news portals, social media, and mobile applications, the evolution of digital news has reshaped how information is distributed and consumed. This shift has influenced public opinion, political decisions, and even personal beliefs. While digital news provides real-time updates and accessibility, it also brings challenges such as misinformation, biased reporting, and the struggle to verify facts. In this passage, we will explore how digital news has evolved, its benefits, challenges, and its impact on society. The Early Days of News Consumption Traditionally, newspapers were the primary source of news for the masses. In the 19th and 20th centuries, major newspapers dominated the market, including The New York Times, The Guardian, and The Times of India. People relied on print media for daily updates on politics, business, sports, and entertainment. The advent of radio in the early 20th century revolutionized news consumption by providing faster updates. Later, television further enhanced accessibility, allowing audiences to see and hear news events as they unfolded. Despite these advances, traditional news still had limitations. News had to go through a lengthy editorial process, limiting real-time reporting. Print media, in particular, was slow, and by the time people read the news, it was often already outdated. These limitations paved the way for digital news. The Rise of Digital News The internet changed everything. In the 1990s and early 2000s, major newspapers began launching online editions, allowing readers to access news instantly. Websites such as CNN.com and BBC News Online provided real-time updates, breaking the limitations of print media. News became available at any time and from anywhere. The introduction of smartphones and social media platforms in the 2010s further transformed news consumption. Platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube allowed users to receive news in real-time, often before traditional media could report on it. Citizen journalism also became popular, where ordinary people shared news events through social media, sometimes even influencing mainstream media coverage. The Advantages of Digital News 1. Instant Access to Information One of the biggest advantages of digital news is its speed. Unlike traditional newspapers that are printed once a day, digital news is updated continuously. Breaking news can be reported within minutes, keeping the public informed about events as they happen. 2. Cost-Effective and Environmentally Friendly Unlike print media, which requires paper, ink, and distribution costs, digital news is more cost-effective. Many news websites offer free articles, while subscriptions are often cheaper than newspaper delivery services. Additionally, digital news reduces paper waste, making it an environmentally friendly option. 3. Greater Variety of News Sources With digital news, users are no longer limited to a few major newspapers. Today, people can access news from multiple sources, compare different perspectives, and make more informed decisions. Independent journalists and smaller news outlets also have a platform to share their content, diversifying the media landscape. 4. Interactivity and Engagement Digital news allows for greater interactivity. Readers can comment on articles, share news on social media, and participate in discussions. This has increased audience engagement and made news consumption a more dynamic experience. The Challenges of Digital News 1. The Spread of Misinformation One of the biggest problems with digital news is the spread of misinformation and fake news. Unlike traditional journalism, which follows strict editorial guidelines, online news can be published with little or no verification. Social media platforms often amplify false information, making it difficult for readers to distinguish between credible and unreliable sources. 2. Sensationalism and Clickbait Many digital news outlets rely on advertising revenue, which means they prioritize page views and engagement. As a result, some news websites use clickbait headlines—sensationalized or misleading titles designed to attract attention. This has led to the rise of low-quality journalism focused on entertainment rather than factual reporting. 3. Bias and Filter Bubbles Another challenge of digital news is media bias. Many online news platforms cater to specific audiences, reinforcing existing beliefs rather than presenting objective information. Social media algorithms also create "filter bubbles," where users only see content that aligns with their views, limiting exposure to diverse perspectives. 4. Privacy and Data Security With digital news consumption, users often have to provide personal information to access content. Many news websites track users' browsing behavior, raising concerns about privacy and data security. Advertisers use this data for targeted advertising, sometimes without users' knowledge. The Role of Social Media in News Consumption Social media has played a major role in shaping modern news consumption. Platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram allow users to receive instant news updates, share stories, and engage in discussions. However, social media also has drawbacks: Viral Misinformation: Fake news spreads faster than real news on social media. False reports, conspiracy theories, and manipulated videos can go viral within hours. Political Influence: Social media has been used as a tool for political propaganda, influencing elections and public opinion. Echo Chambers: Algorithms show users content that aligns with their interests, reinforcing their opinions and preventing exposure to different viewpoints. The Future of Digital News As technology continues to evolve, digital news will continue to change. Artificial intelligence (AI) is already being used to generate news articles, personalize content, and detect fake news. Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) may revolutionize how people experience news, allowing users to "step into" a news story and experience it firsthand. However, the future of digital news will also depend on media literacy. Educating people on how to verify sources, recognize bias, and critically analyze information will be crucial in ensuring a well-informed society. Conclusion The evolution of digital news has transformed how people access and engage with information. While it offers many benefits, such as instant access, cost-effectiveness, and interactivity, it also presents challenges, including misinformation, sensationalism, and bias. As technology advances, the key to responsible news consumption will be media literacy, critical thinking, and the ability to distinguish between reliable and unreliable sources. The future of news lies in a balance between innovation and responsibility. Journalists, media organizations, and readers all have a role to play in shaping a digital news landscape that promotes truth, transparency, and informed decision-making.
