उत्तर कोरियाई नेता किम जोंग-उन की युवा बेटी, जो लंबी दूरी के मिसाइल परीक्षणों सहित सार्वजनिक कार्यक्रमों में अक्सर अपने पिता के साथ जाती है, किम की सबसे संभावित उत्तराधिकारी बताई जा रही है. न्यूयॉर्क टाइम्स ने एक दक्षिण कोरियाई खुफिया एजेंसी के हवाले से ये खबर दी है. हालांकि, इसमें बेटी का नाम और उम्र सहित कोई भी व्यक्तिगत विवरण नहीं बताया गया, लेकिन दक्षिण कोरियाई अधिकारियों ने उसकी पहचान किम जू-ए के रूप में की है. जू-ए ने तब सुर्खियां बटोरीं, जब सेवानिवृत्त एनबीए स्टार डेनिस रोडमैन ने कहा कि 2013 में प्योंगयांग में किम से मिलने पर उन्हें बच्चे को गोद में लेने की अनुमति दी गई थी. उत्तर के राज्य मीडिया ने उन्हें किम की सबसे प्यारी संतान के रूप में बताया है और सैन्य जनरलों और अन्य उच्च पदस्थ अधिकारियों को उनके सामने घुटने टेकते हुए दिखाया है. न्यूयॉर्क टाइम्स की रिपोर्ट के अनुसार, ऐसी तस्वीरों ने बाहरी विश्लेषकों के बीच व्यापक अटकलें शुरू कर दी हैं कि बेटी को उसके पिता के स्पष्ट उत्तराधिकारी के रूप में तैयार किया जा रहा है. दक्षिण कोरियाई अधिकारियों का कहना है कि हालांकि किम क...

उत्तर प्रदेश में रियल एस्टेट विनियमन एवं विकास अधिनियम (RERA) ने घर खरीदारों के हित में एक बड़ा फैसला लिया है. अब खरीदारों को सिर्फ घर के पैसे देने होंगे. अब बिल्डरों को घर खरीदारों को घर का असल एरिया साफ-साफ बताना होगा. अब तक कई बिल्डर कॉमन एरिया को भी शामिल करके पूरे हिस्से का पैसा घर खरीदारों से मांगते रहे हैं. खरीदार को घर के साथ ही कॉमन एरिया की कीमत भी देनी पड़ती है. कई बार तो घर बहुत छोटा मिलता है. कई बिल्डर यह बताते ही नहीं हैं कि कारपेट एरिया कितना होगा. लेकिन अब यूपी रेरा ने कह दिया है कि सुपर एरिया पर फ्लैट नहीं बेचे जा सकेंगे.  यूपी रीयल एस्टेट रेगुलेशन एंड डेवलपमेंट एक्ट (RERA) ने कहा कि सुपर एरिया नहीं चलेगा. सुपर एरिया पर फ़्लैट की बिक्री अवैध मानी जाएगी. कारपेट एरिया के आधार पर फ़्लैट बेचना होगा. सुपर एरिया का कोई औचित्य नहीं है. RERA अधिनियम में सुपर एरिया की कोई परिभाषा नहीं है. रजिस्ट्रेशन के समय फ़्लैट की संख्या, दूसरी जगहों का उल्लेख होता है. यूपी RERA के पोर्टल पर बिक्री के लिए एक मॉडल समझौता है. यह समझौता कारपेट एरिया पर ही आधारित है.  यूपी RERA ने अहम निर...

The Kerala High Court has declined a plea requesting the termination of the pregnancy of a 12-year-old girl, allegedly in an incestual relationship with her minor brother. The court noted that the foetus, now at 34 weeks, is fully developed and preparing for life outside the womb. The court stated that termination at this stage is not tenable, if not impossible, and the child must be allowed to be born through either a caesarean section or normal delivery, a decision left to medical experts. The parents argued that childbirth would have severe consequences on the girl's physical and mental well-being. In its December 22 order, the court allowed the petitioners to seek continuous assistance from doctors at the nearby Government Medical College. After reaching 36 weeks of gestation, they can approach the Medical College Superintendent for evaluation by experts, who will then decide on the nature of delivery. The court assured protection for the baby after birth, emphasising the ...
