                                              DELHI EMERGENCY MEETING

Delhi Environment minister calls an emergency meeting when the Locusts attacks Gurugram near Delhi.


Desert Locusts multiplies very rapidly and is capable of covering 150 kilometers in a day. This insect, a type of a grasshopper, can eat more than its body weight. A one square kilometer of locust swarm containing around 40 million locusts can in a day eat as much food as 35,000 people.


"After the emergency meeting, an advisory will be issued on steps to be taken to deal with the situation," Mr Rai told news agency Press Trust of India.

He asked the officials of the Agriculture department to make field visits to areas close to Gurgaon (also known as Gurugram).

Swarms of locusts hit Millennium City on Saturday around noon while they were headed towards Delhi in two separate groups. The State Agriculture Department on Friday issued an advisory in this connection and asked the residents to keep the windows and doors shut.

Deputy Director, Agriculture, Gurugram, Atmaram Godara, told The Hindu that the locusts were headed towards Delhi from over Kherki Daula toll plaza and the railway station. Large numbers of locust had flown from Mahendragarh on Friday evening and settled in four-five villages in neighbouring Rewari, around 50 km from here.

Mohammad Faisal, an entomologist at the Yamuna Biodiversity Park (YBP) in Delhi, says the capital can suffer greatly, even if it has very little agricultural area. Faisal said the swarm, after surviving last winter in the desert, has moved out due to lack of food. Faisal says Jaipur, which was attacked recently has plenty of green spaces, including parks – providing foraging material for them.
“Delhi also has a lot of green area, including forests, ridge areas and parks which can be impacted severely. Even a very small, one square kilometre locust swarm can eat the same amount of food in a day as about 35,000 people,” said Faisal, who states in the past, they have been known to affect the water supply and railway lines.

Python Language Part-1

 What is Python? Python refers to the Python programming language (with syntax rules for writing what is considered valid Python code) and the Python interpreter software that reads source code (written in the Python language) and performs its instructions. The Python interpreter is free to download from http://python.org/, and there are versions for Linux, OS X, and Windows. The name Python comes from the surreal British comedy group Monty Python, not from the snake. Python programmers are affectionately called Pythonistas, and both Monty Python and serpentine references usually pepper Python tutorials and documentation. The Python programming language has a wide range of syntactical constructions, standard library functions, and interactive development environment features. Fortunately, you can ignore most of that; you just need to learn enough to write some handy little programs. What is SHELL? Shell is one of the core part in our system, which is very helpful because it acts a

Python Language Part-2

 Flow Control Boolean Values:-  While the integer, floating-point, and string data types have an unlimited number of possible values, the Boolean data type has only two values: True and False. (Boolean is capitalized because the data type is named after mathematician George Boole.) When typed as Python code, the Boolean values True and False lack the quotes you place around strings, and they always start with a capital T or F, with the rest of the word in lowercase. Enter the following into the interactive shell. (Some of these instructions are intentionally incorrect, and they’ll cause error messages to appear). >>> spam = True  >>> spam  True  >>> true  Traceback (most recent call last):  File " ", line 1, in true   NameError: name 'true' is not defined w  >>> True = 2 + 2  SyntaxError: assignment to keyword Comparison Operators  Comparison operators compare two values and evaluate down to a single Boolean value.  ==  Equal to  !=
