Polybags are light, low-cost, waterproof and non-teasing. Cloth, jute and paper bags have been replaced in our everyday lives. The risky aspects of using polybags appear to be ignored by all of us. Blocking of drains due to polybags can cause rainwater to overflow. Hot edible goods that are placed in or stored in polybags result in food items being contaminated. Consumption of food products of this sort will adversely affect human health. The use of polybags, writes the author, should be banned. It’s critical that our planet be saved from the danger of polybags. As we step out of our houses, he says, the most comfortable and alternative view will be using a cloth or jute bag.

About a third of British women have been exposed to sexual harassment of some kind. According to the Mumsnet social networking site, one in 10 says they were assaulted. Just a third goes to the police, and another third tells no one, not even close friends at all. One of the few crimes where truth lies not in the physical facts of the matter, but in the emotional motives of those concerned, is sexual harassment. There is no call for a wholesale rejection of the universal standards of justice
The misconception that rape is mainly a threat at night on the streets is part of the issue. Actually, in the proverbial dark alley, rape never occurs. Two-thirds of victims are conscious of their perpetrator, and assaults typically take place

A rainbow is a meteorological phenomenon that is caused by  reflection, refraction and dispersion of light in water droplets resulting in a spectrum of light appearing in the sky. It takes the form of a multicolored circular. There are seven colours in the rainbow red, orange, yellow, green  blue, indigo and violet. The acronym ROY G. THE various colors came to reflect both the immense diversity and the unity of the LGBTQ community.It was not until 1994 that the rainbow flag was truly established as the symbol for LGBTQ pride. They are  not as rare as they may seems and how they from isn’t. So unusual rainbows from when sun hits a raindrop and light blends or refracts… It’s so cool to see and the higher secondary rainbow  is usually more faint in colour than the main rainbow .A more rare phenomenon is called a twinned rainbow. Rainbow are actually full circle. The antisolar points is the center of the circle viewers in aircraft can sometimes see these circle rainbow viewers on ground can only see the light reflected by raindrops above the horizon. If we draw rays of sunlight that reflect 42 degrees into your eyes then those rays start to look like they from a circle are in the sky. So the reflection gives you the shape of the rainbow while the refraction gives you the colour of the rainbow from the air you can see circle rainbow.                                                                           

Environment pollution is the mixing of harmful pollutants into the environment causing disturbance to the natural processes and cycles. Various types of environmental pollution are categorized as the water pollution, air pollution, land pollution and noise pollution. Production of solid and liquid wastes on a large scale from the industries, emissions of hazardous gases, deforestation, global warming, and many more problems originated by human beings are the main reasons of increasing environmental pollution. In the last one decade, there is a great increase in the level of environmental pollution and the scenario has become worse than earlier.

All the natural gases in the environment make their balance by reacting to each other. Some of them are used as food by plants like carbon dioxide. But, just imagine what happens when we start finishing plants. Decreasing number of plants causes less use of carbon dioxide which gets spread into the whole environment and in turn increases environmental temperature level and thus global warming.We are doing lots of such mistakes daily and it should not be a big surprise for us that one day the chance of life existence would be finished on this planet.

Environmental pollution needs a global level awareness and every one of us needs to understand our all mistakes, causes of pollution, ways to solve the problems created by it and most importantly how to stop the negative environmental changes and environmental pollution.

Conclusion:

Environmental pollution has become a great concern to save our planet. We need to adapt various measures to reduce environmental pollution. Some of them include planting trees, reducing the use of non-renewable resources, proper disposal of wastes, etc. It is the responsibility of every individual to save our environment from getting polluted.

Delhi, 5^th February 2021: Kundan Care Products Ltd., one of the India’s largest gold refiners, today proudly announced its empanelment under Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) for acceptance of MCX Good Delivery Norms for BIS Standard Gold at their platform.

Accordingly, the Gold Bars refined at our Refinery, shall henceforth also be accepted with those of International repute brands for delivery at MCX in the Gold Mini (100 g) contracts. The demand for inclusion of Indian Produced Bars was long pending even though reputed Indian refineries were meeting the International Standards in their products. This is a right step to recognize Indian products by MCX.

Mr. Vidit Garg, Director, Kundan Group, said. “I am delighted that our refinery has been empaneled by the MCX for the delivery of Gold on its platform. This step of MCX  in the direction of ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’, is a boost to Indian Refineries which are producing products of International Standards. Further, this will build a confidence in the Indians towards Indian produced gold bars. We remain committed to continue to strive for higher and higher quality standards”.

As per Mr. Garg, this step taken by the MCX is a crucial step for the refiners that operate in the Indian refined gold  bullion industry.

Mr. Shivanshu Mehta, Head-Bullion, MCX, said, “This move will facilitate the expansion of organized bullion trade in the country and enhance transparency. It is expected to further integrate exchange ecosystems with domestic physical industry.” As per Mr. Mehta, the specific facilities of refiners have been chosen after strict financial and technical audits, and more may be added to this list soon.

Currently, gold bars approved only by London Bullion Market Association are deliverable on the exchange. But this move will allow the domestic refiners to trade and deliver Gold on the exchange based on BIS standards. In the beginning, approval of gold bars would start in 100 grams gold derivative contracts.
