  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.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk announces their new humanoid robots.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced during the company's Al event on Thursday that the carmaker would branch out into humanoid robots. 

Musk unveiled the Tesla Bot," a 5-foot-8, 125-pound robot that would have a screen where its face should be that would present information. According to the CEO, the humanoid robot would be capable of deadlifting 150 pounds and carrying about 45 pounds, though it would travel at only about 5 mph. 

Therobot with a human-like appearance would carry out the work people like to do least, with "profound implications for the economy," Musk said at the company's Al Day event on Thursday.

"Basically, if you think about what we're doing right now with cars, Tesla is arguably the world's biggest robotics company because our cars are like semi-sentient robots on wheels," Musk said.
According to Tesla, the aim is to develop the next generation of automation, including a general-purpose, bi-pedal, humanoid robot capable of performing tasks that are unsafe, repetitive, or boring.

On its website, Tesla said it is seeking mechanical, electrical, controls, and software engineers to help leverage their expertise beyond the vehicle fleet. "In the long term, I do think there needs to be universal basic income. But not right now because the robot doesn't work," Musk said. Reports claim that the prototype of the unveiled latest Tesla bot will be launched in 2022, however, when it will go for sale and its prices are still unknown.

India's Air pollution likely to reduce upto 9 years in life expectancy of Indians

  Air pollution is likely to reduce the life expectancy of about 40% of Indians across North and South India by more than 9 years, according to a report released by a U.S. research group on Wednesday. The worst in India is the capital region of Delhi, where residents could live about 10 years longer if pollution levels met the WHO guidelines and seven years if it met India’s own national standard, the report said. New Delhi was the world’s most polluted capital for the third straight year in 2020, according to IQAir, a Swiss group that measures air quality levels based on the concentration of lung-damaging airborne particles known as PM2.5. Last year, New Delhi’s 20 million residents, who breathed some of the cleanest air on record in the summer because of coronavirus lockdown curbs, battled toxic air in winter following a sharp increase in farm residue burning in the nearby states of Punjab and Haryana. More than 480 million people living in the vast swathes of central, eastern an...

Calcutta High Court orders Court-Monitored CBI Probe into West Bengal Post-Poll Violence cases of Murder & Rape

In what comes as a major setback for the Mamata Banerjee-led West Bengal government, the Calcutta high court on Thursday ordered a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into the allegations of post-poll violence in the state. A seven-member committee set up by the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) had earlier looked into the incidents of violence following the West Bengal assembly elections and recommended a court-monitored CBI probe. CBI will probe the allegations of murder and rape, raised shortly after the overwhelming victory of the Trinamool Congress (TMC) against rival Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in these elections. According to people familiar with the development, t he Calcutta high court also directed that a separate Special Investigation Team (SIT), with senior officers from the West Bengal cadre, be set up to probe the other allegations cited by the NHRC committee. This SIT will comprise three IPS officers -- Soumet Mitra, Suman Bala Sahoo, and Ranbir Kumar. The...
