Bar Council of India Removes 107 Fake Advocates from  Delhi Roll to Uphold Legal Integrity The Bar Council of India (BCI) has taken decisive action in a sweeping initiative aimed at maintaining the integrity of the legal profession by removing 107 fake advocates  from the Roll of Advocates in Delhi  between 2019 and October 2024. This step comes as part of the BCI's rigorous verification process to ensure that only qualified, genuinely practising advocates remain in the profession, ultimately upholding public trust in the legal system. Strengthened Verification Framework Under Rule 32 This effort falls under Rule 32 of the Bar Council of India Certificate and Place of Practice (Verification) Rules, 2015 . The BCI  amended Rule 32 on June 23, 2023 , which empowered the BCI to verify, identify, and systematically remove unqualified and fake advocates from the Roll. The rule amendment has made the process of weeding out non-compliant individuals significantly more efficient. Accordi

Indian Coast Guard Monitors Cyclone Remal's Landfall with Vigilant Preparedness

Indian Coast Guard Monitors Cyclone Remal's Landfall with Vigilant Preparedness



Kolkata, India – As the severe cyclonic storm 'Remal' makes its landfall between the coasts of Bangladesh and adjoining West Bengal, the Indian Coast Guard (ICG) is maintaining a vigilant stance with its disaster response team, ships, and hovercraft on standby. This preparedness ensures swift response to any post-impact challenges.


On Monday, the ICG reassured the public through a post on social media platform X, urging them to adhere to official advisories, stay informed, and prioritize safety. The ICG's proactive measures are crucial in mitigating the impact of the cyclone on affected regions.


"Update cyclone #Remal@IndiaCoastGuard is closely monitoring the landfall of cyclone #Remal with the disaster response team, Ships, and Hovercraft standby at short notice to respond to post-impact challenges. Follow official advisories, Stay informed, and stay safe," the ICG posted on X.


Following the landfall, Kolkata experienced significant waterlogging and heavy rain, particularly in the Race Course Area, where visuals showed people and vehicles navigating water-logged roads. Additionally, several trees were uprooted in the Alipore area due to gusty winds and relentless rain, further disrupting normalcy in the city.


The India Meteorological Department (IMD) provided updates on Monday, stating that Cyclone Remal would continue its northward movement before veering north-northeast and gradually weakening into a cyclonic storm. The cyclone moved northwards, crossing the Bangladesh and West Bengal coasts between Sagar Islands and Khepupara, near the southwest of Mongla.


"The Severe Cyclonic Storm 'Remal' over the North Bay of Bengal moved nearly northwards, with a speed of 13 kmph during the past six hours, crossed Bangladesh and adjoining West Bengal Coasts between Sagar Islands and Khepupara close to southwest of Mongla near Latitude 21.75°N and Longitude 89.2°E between 22:30 hrs IST of 26th May to 00:30 hrs IST of 27th May 2024 as a Severe Cyclonic Storm with wind speed of 110 to 120 Kmph gusting to 135 Kmph," said the IMD in a post on X.


Relevant Laws and Policies


Several laws and policies in India are relevant to disaster management and response, particularly in the context of cyclonic storms like Remal:


1. Disaster Management Act, 2005: This act provides the framework for disaster management in India. It establishes the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) and State Disaster Management Authorities (SDMAs), which are responsible for formulating policies, plans, and guidelines for disaster management.


2. National Policy on Disaster Management, 2009: This policy aims to build a safer and disaster-resilient India by developing a holistic, proactive, multi-disaster-oriented, and technology-driven strategy. It emphasizes the need for a community-based approach to disaster management.


3. Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) Mandate: The IMD is mandated to monitor and provide warnings for weather-related events, including cyclones. It plays a critical role in forecasting and issuing timely alerts to minimize the impact of such natural disasters.


4. Coast Guard Act, 1978: This act outlines the roles and responsibilities of the Indian Coast Guard, including safeguarding the maritime interests of India and assisting in disaster relief operations. The ICG’s current actions in monitoring and preparing for Cyclone Remal fall under this mandate.


5. National Cyclone Risk Mitigation Project (NCRMP): This project aims to reduce the vulnerability of coastal communities to cyclones and other hydro-meteorological hazards through improved infrastructure and early warning systems. It is implemented by the NDMA in collaboration with the states.


6. Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) Notification, 2011: This notification aims to regulate human activities in the coastal areas of India to protect coastal ecosystems. It includes guidelines for construction and disaster management in coastal zones.


These laws and policies collectively ensure a comprehensive approach to disaster management, enabling authorities like the ICG and IMD to effectively manage and mitigate the impacts of cyclonic storms like Remal.
