Essentially a mobile laboratory, it allows early on-site scientific analysis and monitoring, which will speed up the detection process and allow fire fighters and other emergency services to provide the correct response to a particular incident.“In addition to this, a global positioning system (GPS) will also be set up for the fire brigade. According to fire officials, these 300 horsepower engines are very powerful and fuel-efficient equipped with electronic engine management system and common rail diesel injection system. Fitted with computers, televisions, two-way radios and other equipment, this command centre is equipped with a portablelab complete with sinks and fume hoods.  

Due to the installation of anti-lock breaking system, they are also useful on slippery roads, said fire officials.To fight nuclear, biological and chemical attacks, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has decided to buy hazardous material apparatus (HazMat) vehicles for its fire brigade department. It will be commissioned by the end of this year,” said Mr Mehta. These vehicles are highly customised to fit the needs of the fire department.. They are also eco-friendly, complying with Bharat Stage IV (Euro IV) emission norms.Meanwhile, Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray has  inaugurated 16 fully automatic new fire engines. This will improve the fire-fighting capacity of fire brigade considerably, he said.Hazardous material apparatus refer to specialised equipment used by fire fighters responding to calls involving potentially hazardous materials.

Global players such as Disney and Japanese Manga are now eyeing the lucrative Indian comic book market and have approached leading publishers in the national capital to work together.  

Print media, especially comics, will never perish.Mr Rai was recently app-roached by teams of Disn-ey and Japanese Manga artists for collaboration.Its impact on the culture is evident by the fact that Indian comics was even popular among those living outside their country.However, the plan is still at a nascent stage since the foreign publishers mostly cater to the urban market and are still working on ways to break into the rural market as well. Our readership will only increase with time,” said Mr Rai. I would often use them as an excuse to forget school and other things for a short while.”. Mr Rai said that comics have been able to conform themselves to the needs of the present times.Started in 1978, Diamond Comics is full of memorable characters like Chacha Chaudhary, Billoo, and Motu-Patlu.India’s comic industry began in the mid 1960s with the launch of Indr-ajal comics.Gulshan Rai, creator of Diamond Comics, said that at a time when Marvel and DC movies are capturing the Indian screens, the global market has failed to do so in the Indian comic book industry.“But they don’t understand the market here.

As part of the settlement, Toshiba and Western Digital will extend existing agreements for their chip joint ventures in Yokkaichi, central Japan, until 2027 or later.Argyle Street Management Ltd, a Hong Kong-based hedge fund with 1. The ownership ratio for the joint ventures remains 50.1 percent for Toshiba plugs  Manufacturers and 49. The current agreements are set to start expiring from 2021.9 percent for Western Digital.Argyle is inviting the 30-plus overseas investors who participated in Toshiba’s new share issue to team up in opposition to the deal although it remains to be seen just how much traction it will gain.

With data storage key to most next-generation technologies, demand for NAND chips has boomed, and Western Digital, Toshiba’s chip business partner and jilted suitor in the auction, had threatened to block any deal without its consent.Toshiba agreed in late September to sell Toshiba Memory, the world’s second-biggest producer of NAND chips, to a consortium led by Bain Capital LP for 18 billion to cover billions of dollars in liabilities arising from Toshiba’s now bankrupt US nuclear power unit Westinghouse.The settlement calls for Western Digital to drop arbitration claims seeking to stop the sale to the Bain consortium in exchange for Toshiba allowing the US partner to invest in a new production line starting next year for advanced memory chips.

South Korean chipmaker SK Hynix Inc’s participation in the Bain consortium has infuriated Western Digital and a key sticking point in recent weeks had been how to ensure it would be blocked from accessing proprietary information that belonged to the chip unit, sources have previously said.Toshiba gained the upper hand in negotiations with Western Digital after securing a 5.The chip unit sale may, however, face more complications.The sale also needs to clear regulatory reviews, but they are not expected to scuttle the deal.

A crisis that if not rectified will lead to untold disarray and damage. But sceptical is dangerous. But, from within the system that Imran has demonstrated he is more than willing to work in, there was a dreamy scenario.By arrangement with Dawn. Between the dead option of dreamy and the extant option of scepticism, you have to wish for hard-nosed reality. It could turn out to be a hard-nosed middle ground. Not because there is no crisis, but because the crisis is familiar and the options to emerge from it are well known, more or less reasonably implementable and far from the now-or-never option it has been made out to be.

Holding the others’ feet to the fire and, if that too failed, ascending to the most coveted of civilian offices, the PM-ship, with the winds of promise and hope at his back — the dreamy scenario.While political inertia is still possible, it’s increasingly harder to justify.Hard-nosed reality is about reconciling political rhetoric with electoral and governance realities, and doing just enough to stay ahead of the chasing pack.He hasn’t quite burned down the house yet, but he has set a couple of the rooms on fire and embarked on a project wracked by uncertainty. But what is this utter disaster exactly?Back to handouts or bailouts that every government has managed and that Imran’s will too?A horrible government is what Pakistanis have been programmed to accept, which has left, and may leave, Imran with the ultimate get-into-the-PM Office excuse:Scepticism.The other part that has changed is the court’s willingness to get political.Dreamy is already dead.Imran has several advantages here.It’s a lie.Welcome Prime Minister Khan. Why change what’s already working for them?But the dreamy scenario for Khan, and by extension the rest of us, could have been bolstered by two other changes already in place.You gotta do this — “this” being improvements in the anti-corruption regime, service delivery, whatever — because if you don’t you’ll be exposed as liars and frauds.But perhaps more important, Imran has a formidable PR machine available, partly built up by his party, partly loaned out to him by elements supportive of him. Local governments and the census, as everyone knows, only happened when they did because of the court’s intervention. So, who cares who Imran picks as CM, Speaker or anything else formulaically relevant to democratic delivery and success?All Imran has to do is stay a smidgen ahead of the previous lot in terms of delivery, keep his PR machine amped up to maximum, and ride the crest of popular support to remaining a legitimate contender in the next election.The Khanista just wants to feel better about himself and this land of ours. A crisis to unravel Pakistan.Wilful intransigence in the face of fierce political opposition can quite realistically erode political support and boost opponents.In easy terms, in Opposition, Imran’s greatest promise was to force improvements in the status quo by using his political base as leverage. Success.  

And if not success, the third option: why not Imran?Why-not-Imran, the third original possibility and one of the two surviving options, is probably Imran’s greatest asset.There have been three possible versions of Imran. But Imran chose otherwise. Dreamy in the Khanista sense has never existed.The PML(N)’s mismanagement of the economy has proved only one thing: between the PPP’s road to disaster and the N-League’s, there’s only a question of route, not degree. Ours isn’t a polity of overthrow and revolution and the core of the Khan base is already a beneficiary of a two-tiered system: the somewhat-haves and the really have-nots. What’s the worst he can do? Why not give him a chance? It’s not like the others have worked.The PML(N) or the PPP before it would hardly have been eager to listen.

Hard-nosed reality is about accepting marginal change and staying ahead of the chasing pack. One version is already dead, two possibilities remain — and together the three cover the spectrum from the dreamy to the hard-nosed to the sceptical. Hard-nosed reality is about incremental change backed by a vociferous, over-the-top PR machine. A lie at the heart of Imran’s ascension to power and the smiting down of his predecessor has been that Denmark power cables there is a crisis.Put serious-minded political opposition together with specific demands and stack them on top of public disapproval of political inertia and the court’s activism — and you could have had some momentum for positive change. His compromises, as and when they come, aren’t such a big deal — he is the change, not the people he needs to rely on to assemble the necessary numbers.
