Soda Lakes:
โญ Soda Lakes are alkaline lakes with high concentrations of sodium carbonate and other alkaline salts, often formed in endorheic basins where water doesn't drain to the sea.
โญ They exhibit high pH levels, typically between 9 and 12, making them some of the most alkaline natural environments on Earth.
โญ Geographical Distribution: Found in arid or semi-arid regions, notable examples include Lake Natron (Tanzania), Mono Lake (USA), and the Lonar Crater Lake (India).
โญ Endorheic Nature: These lakes are often located in closed basins where water is lost primarily through evaporation.
โญ Ecology: Soda lakes host extremophiles, organisms adapted to extreme alkaline conditions, such as halophilic bacteria and algae.
โญ Bird Habitat: They are crucial for bird species, especially flamingos, which feed on the algae and use the lakes as breeding grounds.

Morons. Letโs get a few things straight. First off, filling these posts through traditional methods is impossible because lateral entry is meant for seasoned professionals, who'll bring expertise and new perspective in the service. And not for those already spoon-fed their way into the service and lack expertise in specific fields, irrespective of their castes. Second, who even claimed that SC/ST individuals are barred from lateral entry? Apply and get it done.
And on the topic of the caste census- why doesnโt Khargeji start by revealing the caste of Raul Baba first? Which illustrious caste does our dear "Janeu-dhari" Rahul Firoz Vinchi belong to? Maybe that would clear things up for everyone.
As a society, one would hope we'd be progressing beyond the archaic shackles of castes. Yet, here we are, watching these buffoons insisting on dragging us back into the mud, making sure caste is at the center of everything.
