Call to prevent jobs catastrophe in aviation sector

November 10, 2020595 Views

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) and the International Transport Workers’ Federation (ITF) issued a joint statement calling for urgent government intervention to prevent an employment catastrophe in the aviation industry. Estimates from the Air Transport Action Group suggest some 4.8 million aviation workers’ jobs are at risk as a result of air travel demand falling more than 75% (August 2020 compared to August 2019).

दृश्य 1गाड़ी के आगे अचानक दो सींग वाला लहीम-शहीम गैंडा (राइनो) आ गया। मुंह से चीख निकली और साथ ही दिल बल्लियों उछलने लगा। अरे, पृथ्वी का यह दुर्लभ जीव सामने, बिल्कुल लबे-सड़क खड़ा है। थूथन पर बड़ा-सा सींग, दूसरा सींग कुछ आधा-अधूरा सा दिख रहा था। गाड़ी खटाक से रुकी और हाथ दरवाजा खोलने की ओर गया... दृश्य -2सामने दौड़ लगी हुई है। लंबे-लंबे जिराफ एक दूसरे के साथ रेस लगा रहे हैं। उनके शरीर की लय इतनी मंत्रमुग्ध करने वाली है कि पता ही नहीं चलता है कि कब एक छोटा जिराफ गाड़ी के बिल्कुल बगल में, तकरीबन सटते हुए खड़ा हो जाता है... दृश्य 3ऐसा लगता है कि सड़क पर गाड़ी के आगे-आगे धूल का बवंडर चल रहा है। सहसा कुछ अनदेखा सा घटित होता है। धीमी रफ्तार से चल रही गाड़ी, अचानक रोक दी जाती है। फर्लांग भर दूरी पर गाड़ी के आगे जंगली भैंसों का दल खड़ा है। वे बहुत उग्र और परेशान नजर आ रहे हैं। अपने पै...

While 2020 will be remembered by many as a year of travel bans and cancelled vacations, the indigenous Tao people of Orchid Island will remember it as the year unprecedented numbers of visitors descended on their once tranquil home. The small island, 90 km (56 miles) off Taiwan’s southeast coast, is home to approximately 4,700 ethnic Austronesian Tao or Yami people, and has in recent years become a popular holiday destination for both Taiwanese and foreigners alike. Traditional tatala boats Orchid Island (Lanyu) is a volcanic island that was formed of magma erupting from the ocean floor.

महानदी ओडिशा की सबसे विशाल नदी है, यह पता होते हुए भी सतकोसिया पहुंचकर इसकी भव्यता देखकर अचंभित हुए बिना नहीं रहा जा सकता। सर्द सुबह में नदी के किनारे बने टैंट के सामने कुर्सी पर बैठकर गरम चाय की चुस्की लेते हुए और सामने पानी में रह-रहकर गोता लगाते परिंदों को निहारते हुए एकबारगी तो दिमाग से यह अहसास निकल सा जाता है कि हम टाइगर रिजर्व में है और ठीक हमारी पीठ के पीछे घना जंगल है। यहां न मोबाइल की जरूरत महसूस होती है और न ही बिजली की। सौर ऊर्जा की मदद से अंधेरा होने पर थोड़ी-बहुत रोशनी मिल जाती है। मीलों दूर गांवों से हवा के साथ लहराकर आती आवाजें संगीत का काम देती हैं। यह एक अलग दुनिया का अहसास है। सतकोसिया यानी सात कोस। दो मील का एक कोस यानी चौदह मील। चौदह मील यानी 22 किलोमीटर। ठीक यही लंबाई है 22 किलोमीटर की उस खड्ड की जिसमें से होकर महानदी गुजरती है। चौड़ा प्रपात और दोनों तरफ खड़ी पहा...
