It's quite something to see Mamata Banerjee, the epitome of self righteousness and the protector of women rights and honour of sandeshkhali, lecture the CBI on crime and deadlines. Her own Gestapo police force, the very emblem of law under her governance, has been accused of covering tracks, misleading the investigation and coddling with the accused over serving justice, and even have been found sending legal notices to whomever is found criticising TMC.

And now, in a brilliant display of audacity, she dares to demand accountability from others. It's as if she's forgotten that the primary responsibility for law and order in her state starts at her doorstep.

Earth's rotation and melting of Polar ice caps:

⭐ A new study indicates that the melting of polar ice caps is slowing the rotation of our planet, thereby lengthening our days at an unprecedented rate.

⭐ The research paper titled ‘The increasingly dominant role of climate change on length of day variations’, featured in the journal, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

⭐ It revealed that the redistribution of water from Greenland and Antarctica is contributing to increased mass around the equator.

⭐ Though, this phenomenon will occur only when the melted water meets the ocean.

⭐ The study utilised observational techniques such as Very Long Baseline Interferometry, which measures the time difference in radio signals from space reaching different points on Earth, to determine variations in the planet's orientation and day length.
