✅Gs-3 : Economic growth- sectors of economy- aviation sector
📍Topics under Aviation sector : Click here
🅾️When airlines in India can’t pay their debts, the companies that lease them planes (called lessors) struggle to take their planes back.Lessors had to go through slow Indian courts, which caused Huge losses to the lessors,fear among global investors, difficulty for indian airlines to get new planes on lease.
🅾️India had signed a global agreement in 2008 called the Cape Town Convention, which says: If an airline doesn’t pay, the lessor should get the aircraft back fast.But India never actually made a law to implement this agreement.
🅾️Now what happens after this new law?- An airline misses payments-> No need to wait months or years in court.

✅Gs-3 : Internal security/ Forest rights act
⚠️Note : Even if a tribal moves states, there is no clause in FRA that disqualifies them by default.Rule 3(1)(m): Specifically grants: “In case of displacement... the right to in situ rehabilitation including alternative land, before such eviction or displacement.” FRA does not explicitly mention cross-state portability of forest rights. It does not prohibit displaced persons from being resettled or claiming forest rights in another state either. Hence, the intent of FRA = protection of tribal life and habitat, not territoriality of status.
🅾️Article quotes a 5 year old case- BRU refugee situation- we disucssed that here- Click here- Happy to see the vision of making this telegram channel a repository for public use is taking a shape after the LONG patient wait.

✅Gs-3 : Infrastructure- National Logistics Policy- Announced in budget 2020
🛑How logistics work in India at the moment?- Click here
🅾️Present article's Issue : India’s logistics sector is one of the most carbon-intensive in the world. Know that Carbon cost = Mode of transport + fuel type + distance + energy efficiency-India can’t achieve Viksit Bharat @2047 or Net Zero @2070 without decarbonising its logistics.
🔰Proposed solutions
⚜️1. Shift from road → rail=Rail = 50% less emissions than road.
⚜️2. Shift to inland waterways & coastal shipping-IMO aims to cut emissions by 50% by 2050.
⚜️3.Decarbonise warehousing-Warehouses use high energy for cooling and lighting. Use solar, wind, geothermal for ⚜️clean power.
⚜️4. Use cleaner fuels-Push for ammonia, hydrogen, bioethanol, LNG.
Q. Discuss the challenges and opportunities in decarbonising India’s transport and logistics sector.

✅Gs-2 : Judiciary
🅾️Context : Recent Criticisms by the Vice President- 1. udicial inquiries (like judge misbehaviour) are opaque compared to legislative/executive 2. Supreme Court ordered timelines for President and Governors to act – questioned if judiciary can direct constitutional heads 3. Extraordinary powers used to deliver “complete justice” – but lacks clear constitutional limits
⚠️Issue : Article 142 allows the Supreme Court to pass any order to ensure “complete justice” in any case-critics say it risks judicial overreach, especially in policy domains
⚠️The debate should not be about judicial supremacy vs parliamentary sovereignty — it must be about constitutional harmony.So we should Codify use of Article 142-Create clear guidelines for use of “complete justice” powers.
🔰Power is best exercised when it is accountable.
