Petr Pavel, Former Chairman of the NATO Military Committee, Became the President of the Czech Republic

Petr Pavel, former chairman of the Military Committee of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), has become the new President of the Czech Republic. Pavel, 61, emerged as the new Czech president after he beat billionaire Andrej Babis in a run-off vote to replace controversial President Milos Zeman. Pavel, a former military general, received more than 58 percent of the vote, according to the Czech statistics office.
As none of the eight initial candidates received an absolute majority in the first round of voting two weeks ago, the election was decided in a second-round run-off between Pavel and Babis. Pavel, a former paratrooper, won 58.3 percent of votes while Andrej Babis scored 41.7 percent.
The 61-year-old Pavel will in March replace President Milos Zeman, an outspoken and divisive politician who fostered close ties with Moscow before making a U-turn when Russia invaded Ukraine last year.

Coal India Ltd to Launch M-Sand Projects in Broader Schemes

Coal India Limited (CIL) envisages processing overburdened rocks for sand production in mines where fractured rock or overburden (OB) material comprises about 60 percent sandstone by volume which is required for crushing and overburden. Tapping is done through processing. During opencast mining, the top soil and rocks are removed as waste for coal extraction and the OB is piled in dumps.
Most waste is disposed of at the surface which occupies a considerable land area and extensive planning and controls are required to reduce the environmental impact of mining.
Sand is classified as a ‘minor mineral’. State governments have administrative control over minor minerals and are regulated through state-specific rules.
Due to high demand, regulated supply, and a complete ban on sand mining during monsoon to protect the river’s ecosystem, it became necessary to find an alternative to river sand.
