British-Era secret tunnel found inside Delhi Legislative Assembly, connects to Red Fort

  A tunnel-like structure was discovered at the Delhi Legislative Assembly on Thursday. Speaking to ANI, Delhi Legislative Assembly Speaker Ram Niwas Goel said that the tunnel connects the legislative assembly to Red Fort and was used by the Britishers to avoid reprisal while moving freedom fighters.  Goel further informed that the Delhi Legislative Assembly, which was used as Central Legislative Assembly after shifting of capital from Kolkata to Delhi in 1912, was turned into a court in 1926 and Britishers used this tunnel to bring freedom fighters to the court.  "When I became an MLA in 1993, there was hearsay about a tunnel present here that goes till Red Fort and I tried to search for its history. But there was no clarity over it," he stated.  "Now we have got the mouth of the tunnel but we are not digging it further as all the paths of the tunnel have been destroyed due to metro projects and sewer installations," he added.  The assembly speaker added that in vi

Global supply chain in crisis : World gets ready to pay double prices for half the products across various sectors

 Trade is a global network and only works efficiently when all participants are healthy and cooperative. The U.S./China trade war ignited the U.S./Asia supply chain expansion. The ravages of the Coronavirus and its new variants, however, have destroyed this "diversification." 

Given that ships transport around 90% of the world's trade, the crew, and container crisis is disrupting the supply of everything from oil and iron ore to food and electronics.

Events have conspired to drive global supply chains towards breaking point, threatening the fragile flow of raw materials, parts, and consumer goods, according to companies, economists, and shipping specialists in almost every industry. 

Meanwhile, deadly floods & Typhoons in economic giants the US, China, and Germany have further ruptured global supply lines that had yet to recover from the first wave of the pandemic, compromising trillions of dollars of economic activity that rely on them.              Automakers, for example, are again being forced to stop production because of disruptions caused by COVID-19 outbreaks. The tech industry has already been hit hard by a global shortage of semiconductors this year, mainly from Asian suppliers. Earlier this year, the auto industry consensus was that the chip supply crunch would ease in the second half of 2021 - but now some senior executives say it will continue into 2022.

Each container that's delayed is economic activity that's restrained, heaping costs one box at a time on consumers and making it more challenging to put corn on consumers' tables or deliver presents for the holidays. As per the estimates of the top economists and industrialists, the prices of consumer products are expected to increase by 200% on average while the variety of products available in the market will be reduced across all sectors. 

It's also a lesson in the ripple effects across global supply chains, showing the limits of diversification as all networks are still closely connected with China.

China bans video games for under 18 kids to only 3 hours per week

  Kids and teens under 18 years old in China will only be allowed up to three hours per week to play online video games, according to new rules published Monday by China’s National Press and Publication Administration. The move is a fresh blow to the country’s gaming giants from Tencent to NetEase, which have dealt with an onslaught of regulation this year in areas from anti-monopoly to data protection. That has spooked investors and dented the value of Chinese tech stocks. According to a translated notice about the new rules, people under 18 will be allowed to play video games one hour a day between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. on weekends and legal holidays. The agency billed the rules as a way to safeguard children’s physical and mental health.

However, psychiatrists from around the country said it will have a drastic negative
