teri 1Kolkata:  India needs to ensure the introduction and promotion of new technologies at an affordable cost to keep its commitment to the Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs) on climate change, The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) Director General Ajay Mathur said here on Friday.

“We will need to ensure that new technologies keep flowing in, that their penetration is increased and they are accepted. They reach prices that we are willing to pay. So one of the major challenges is to reduce capital costs,” Mathur said in his address on ‘CoP 21: Impact on India’ organised by the Bengal Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

Mathur was the spokesperson for the Indian delegation at the UN Climate Change Conference in Paris (CoP 21).

Listing the priorities, Mathur stressed on the creation of markets for balancing electricity.

“As we get more renewables, distribution companies will wonder ‘how do I provide electricity when the sun is not shining and wind is not blowing’,” Mathur said.

“We need to have what is called as ‘balancing power’ (balancing electricity) at affordable cost. We need to have markets for balancing electricity,” he said.

The third factor, he said, is bringing in a business model, “to promote more and more efficient technologies to come”.

The court, generally, considers a person who commit a crime and the one who destroys the evidence, as criminals in the eyes of law. But what if an animal destroys the evidence of a crime committed by a human.

In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).

The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.

The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.

Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.

In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.

The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
