Infrastructure Projects approved

 The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs, approved three infrastructure proposals estimated at  ₹7725 Crore for setting up greenfield industrial cities with connectivity to major transport corridors ( such as Eastern Western Freight corridors, Expressways and National Highways.

The three projects, proposed by the Department of Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade, include 

  1. construction of various trunk infrastructure components for the Krishnapatnam Industrial Area in Andhra Pradesh ,
  2. Tumakuru Industrial Area in Karnataka, 
  3. a multimodal logistics  hub (MMLH) and multimodal transport hub (MMTH) at Greater Noida in Uttar Pradesh. 
  4. CCEA approved ₹ 3,004.63crore project to enhance the facilities at Paradip Port, including the development of a Western dock to accommodate the larger cape size vessels

  • the MMTH located  near the already existing railway station of Boraki will act as a transport hub with provisioning of rail and road. 
  • It will have space for an inter  State bus terminal, a local bus terminal, a Metro  transit system, commercial, retail and hotel space.


    • Objective of the Industrial Corridor Programme is the creation of greenfield industrial cities with sustainable, ‘plug n play’, ICT enabled utilities to facilitate the manufacturing investments into the country.

    Earth's rotational speed

      “Basically a nything that moves mass towards the center of the Earth will speed up the planet’s rotation, much as a spinning ice skater speeds up when they pull in their arms”, explained Ian Sample, science editor of The Guardian.  Tidal friction slows the speed. The moon is mostly to blame for the effect: the gravitational tug slightly distorts the planet, producing tidal friction that steadily slows the Earth’s rotation. To keep clocks in line with the planet’s spin, the International Telecommunication Union, a United Nations body, has taken to adding occasional leap seconds in June or December , most recently in 2016. However, even without adding leap seconds, if Earth spins faster, it could result in GPS satellites becoming useless, as  a half-a-millisecond equates to 10-inches or 26 cm at the equator there are also potentially confusing consequences for smartphones, computers, and communications systems, which synchronize with  Network Time Protocol (NTP)...

    The “Chandler Wobble”

     a lso known as the Chandler variation of latitude, the “Chandler Wobble” is a natural shifting of the Earth’s axis due to the planet not being perfectly spherical, and could be linked to the spinning speeds, three scientists wrote in The Conversation.
