 1. Row over new link road to Kailash Mansarovar
 Context:
?   Inauguration  of  the  new  link  road  from  India  to  China  to
 shorten the travel time for pilgrims to Kailash Mansarovar.
¦   The  link  road starts from Dharchula in Uttarakhand and
  runs 80 km to the Lipulekh pass and has been built by the
 Border Roads Organisation.
 
 Details:
?   Inauguration  of  the  new  link  road  has  run  into  diplomatic
 trouble as Nepal has strongly objected to India’s move.
 Nepal’s contention:
?   Nepal  has  claimed  that  the  ‘Link  Road’  connecting to Lipulekh
 passes through Nepali territory.
?   Nepal  claims  that  India’s  move  marks  a  breach  of  the
  agreement  reached  between  the  Indian  Prime  Minister  and
  Nepal  PM  in  2014  which  sought  to  work  out  the  outstanding
 boundary issues on Kalapani (where Lipulekh lies) and Susta.
¦   An  understanding  was  reached between India and Nepal
  that  a  solution  to  boundary  issues  between  the  two
 countries would be sought through negotiation.
 India’s response:
?   The Ministry of External Affairs of India has clarified that the
  link  road  passing  through  Uttarakhand’s  Pithoragarh  district
 lies completely within the territory of India.
?   India  has  also  clarified  that  the  new  link  road  follows  the
  pre-existing  route  used  by  the  pilgrims  of  the  Kailash
 Mansarovar Yatra.
?   India  has  stated  that  the  boundary  delineation exercise with

 2. Enable longer work hours: CII to Centre
 Context:
?   The  Confederation  of  Indian  Industry  (CII)  has  put  forth
  several  recommendations  at  a  meeting  between  CII
 representatives and the Labour and Employment Minister.
 Details:
 Addressing labour shortage:

  to  rejoin  duty  and has suggested that those failing to report
  for work must be made liable for action under the Employment
 Standing Order Act and the Industrial Dispute Act.
?   The CII has suggested that migrant workers residing in shelter
  homes  or  available  locally  near  the  industrial  belts  must  be
 mapped and must be deployed to the nearest factories.
 Ensuring job retention:
?   The  industry  body  has  sought  removal  of  labour  advisories
  issued  under  the  Disaster  Management  Act  that  prohibits
  employers from any wage reduction, layoff and retrenchment
  of workers and has recommended that the provisions of layoff
  under  the  Industrial  Dispute  Act  be  extended  to  commercial
  establishments as a job retention measure for workers having
 no work.
¦   For  the  period  of  layoff,  such  workers  shall  remain  on
  rolls  and  will  get  reduced  wages  along  with  statutory
 benefits such as ESIC and PF.
?   To  encourage  organisations  to  retain  the  job  offers  and
  promote  fresh  employment,  the  Government  can  consider
 restarting Pradhan Mantri Rojgar Protsahan Yojana.

¦   Sal  forest  tortoise  in  northeast  India  is  exposed  to  the

¦   Forest fires also decrease soil moisture levels which may

 Conservation status:
?   Sal  forest  tortoise  has  been  recently  assessed  as  critically

 activities.

 species in protected areas is least.
¦   There  is  little  to  no  connectivity  among  most  of  the
 protected areas where the species is present.
