Green tribunal bans garbage burning in Vrindavan
Vrindavan: The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has banned civic garbage burning in the holy town of Vrindavan in Uttar Pradesh.
It has restrained Vrindavan local municipal body from burning domestic waste in the open. The order, which came on Monday was made available on Wednesday.
Counsel for petitioner Rahul Choudhary told IANS that the NGT had given interim orders on a petition filed by activist Madhumangal Shukla.
“It was a matter of grave urgency and the NGT was requested to give a direction before the court takes a break for summer vacation,” Choudhary said.
The NGT has also restrained civic authorities and private construction firms from dumping debris on the banks of the Yamuna river.
Shukla alleged that the land mafia were encroaching the river bed by piling debris on the ghats.
Activists have long been complaining to the district administration that the land grabbers in the holy town of Vrindavan were piling up garbage on the river bed and have extended ncroachments right into the river.
Mathura’s Braj Bachao Samiti has welcomed the NGT direction and hoped it would help check encroachment on the river bed.
Braj Bachao Samiti president Manoj Choudhary said the flood plains too need to be cleared of encroachments, and for this a separate application is being filed before the NGT.
Meanwhile, the Vrindavan municipal workers, when told of the NGT directive, said they have no idea what to do with the waste and garbage.
“Almost half of the garbage was burnt at several sites and the remaining was dumped along the river bank,” said Dinesh, a sanitation worker.
However, Vrindavan Nagar Palika chairman Mukesh Gautam aid: “It is all nonsense. There is no encroachment on the river bank. It is all big lies by blackmailers who don’t want Vrindavan to develop.”
International online casino Casino Days has published a report sharing their internal data on what types and brands of devices are used to play on the platform by users from the South Asian region.
Such aggregate data analyses allow the operator to optimise their website for the brands and models of devices people are actually using.
The insights gained through the research also help Casino Days tailor their services based on the better understanding of their clients and their needs.
Desktops and Tablets Lose the Battle vs Mobile
The primary data samples analysed by Casino Days reveal that mobile connections dominate the market in South Asia and are responsible for a whopping 96.6% of gaming sessions, while computers and tablets have negligible shares of 2.9% and 0.5% respectively.
The authors of the study point out that historically, playing online casino was exclusively done on computers, and attribute thе major shift to mobile that has unfolded over time to the wide spread of cheaper smartphones and mobile data plans in South Asia.
“Some of the reasons behind this massive difference in device type are affordability, technical advantages, as well as cheaper and more obtainable internet plans for mobiles than those for computers,” the researchers comment.
Xiaomi and Vivo Outperform Samsung, Apple Way Down in Rankings
Chinese brands Xiaomi and Vivo were used by 21.9% and 20.79% of Casino Days players from South Asia respectively, and together with the positioned in third place with a 18.1% share South Korean brand Samsung dominate the market among real money gamers in the region.
Cupertino, California-based Apple is way down in seventh with a user share of just 2.29%, overshadowed by Chinese brands Realme (11.43%), OPPO (11.23%), and OnePlus (4.07%).
Huawei is at the very bottom of the chart with a tiny share just below the single percent mark, trailing behind mobile devices by Motorola, Google, and Infinix.
The data on actual phone usage provided by Casino Days, even though limited to the gaming parts of the population of South Asia, paints a different picture from global statistics on smartphone shipments by vendors.
Apple and Samsung have been sharing the worldwide lead for over a decade, while current regional leader Xiaomi secured their third position globally just a couple of years ago.
Striking Android Dominance among South Asian Real Money Gaming Communities
The shifted market share patterns of the world’s top smartphone brands in South Asia observed by the Casino Days research paper reveal a striking dominance of Android devices at the expense of iOS-powered phones.
On the global level, Android enjoys a comfortable lead with a sizable 68.79% share which grows to nearly 79% when we look at the whole continent of Asia. The data on South Asian real money gaming communities suggests that Android’s dominance grows even higher and is north of the 90% mark.
Among the major factors behind these figures, the authors of the study point to the relative affordability of and greater availability of Android devices in the region, especially when manufactured locally in countries like India and Vietnam.
“And, with influencers and tech reviews putting emphasis on Android devices, the choice of mobile phone brand and OS becomes easy; Android has a much wider range of products and caters to the Asian online casino market in ways that Apple can’t due to technical limitations,” the researchers add.
The far better integration achieved by Google Pay compared to its counterpart Apple Pay has also played a crucial role in shaping the existing smartphone market trends.
