Latest technology The privatization will also help in accommodating the latest technology in railway coaches station facilities online services etc. Lesser accidents Private ownership is considered synonymous with better maintenance which will reduce the number of accidents thus resulting in safe travel and higher monetary savings in the long run. Reducing the supply demand deficit Since waitlisted passengers comprise ~15% of the reserved passengers. Facilitating capacity augmentation as capacity constraints lead to loss of passenger business to other modes such as air travel. Challenges Natural monopoly Privatization in railways might create a private monopoly which might seek to set higher prices which exploit consumers. Public interest Given that a private enterprise runs on profit it might hike fares thus rendering the service out of reach for lower income groups.

This leads to stereotyping of populations on lines similar to caste identities. Medical Ethics The technology can be misused to create designer babies as was done recently by a Chinese scientist. Also burdening people with mutation information can lead them to make lifestyle changes that are not necessary in routine conditions . Interpretational issues There are very few trained clinicians and genetic counsellors who could interpret the data in meaningful manner and in the best interest of the patient. Technological errors Even a single base pair false positive error can create huge burden for the individual and community in terms of wrong diagnosis and unnecessary treatment. Conclusion Genome India project embraces scientific technology for the advancement of Indian healthcare ushering India towards the new gold standard of Precision medicine. Policies that can enable the project to work optimally need to be framed to ensure its smooth and sustained functioning. Robust data privacy law and trained genetic clinicians can help take the healthcare system to the next level Shine india monthly magazine buy.

Israel won the war and expanded its territory reducing Palestine to just Gaza strip and West bank & forcing lakhs of Palestinians to flee from Israel. It was the beginning of this Palestine refugee crisis which ultimately led to the creation of PLO (Palestine Liberation Organization) in 1964. In June 1967 Six day war was fought between Israel and neighboring Arab countries. During this Israel captured Gaza strip Sinai peninsula from Egypt West bank from Jordan and Golan heights from Syria. UN Security Council then adopted a resolution for Land for peace and it mandated that Israel should return the captured areas back to the defeated nations.

It is considered holy due to its connection to the temple mount. o Israeli Jews werent allowed to pray in the temple mount area while Jordan controlled it. Because of the temple mount entry restrictions the wall is the holiest place where the Jews are permitted to pray. Way forward The real challenge is in judging Chinas legitimate interests how far they must be accommodated and where the line must be drawn. This would prove an arduous task as Beijing will likely reject assessments of its interests. A more constructive approach to making China comply is to put in place deterrence measures while providing sufficient encouragement so that it eventually recognises the framework of international law and order. One way of achieving this is through stronger and more dynamic institutional mechanisms. More importantly there should be efforts towards ascertaining areas of common interests which offer scope for China to contribute constructively in order to draw it into the global rulesbased order and leverage it in a beneficial role.
