Fani Cyclone : तटीय ओडिशा में चक्रवात फैनी की वजह से बारिश और तेज हवाएं चलने के बीच करीब 12 लाख लोगों को सुरक्षित स्थानों पर भेजा गया है।
साथ ही लोगों को घरों में रहने की सलाह दी गई है। यह तूफान पुरी के पास सुबह साढ़े नौ बजे दस्तक देगा। अत्यंत प्रचंड च्रकवात ओडिशा के तट की ओर बढ़ रहा है और यह अनुमानित समय दोपहर बाद तीन बजे से बहुत पहले ही सुबह में तटीय क्षेत्र से टकराएगा।
इस बीच, मिली जानकारी के मुताबिक, भारतीय तटरक्ष बल और नौसेना ने भी राहत इंतजाम में अपने पोत और कर्मियों को तैनात किया है।
तट रक्षक बल ने ट्वीट कर कहा कि चक्रवाती तूफान फैनी को देखते हुए 34 राहत दलों और चार तटरक्षक पोतों को राहत कार्य के लिए तैनात किया गया है।
बता दें कि फैनी तूफान के कारण लाखों लोग प्रभावित हो रहे हैं। तटीय इलाके के लोगों को दूसरी जगह पर भेज दिया गया है। ओडिशा के भुवनेश्वर हवाई अड्डे (बीबीआई) से गो-एयर की सभी उड़ानें तीन मई 2019 तक रद कर दी है।
राज्य के मुख्य सचिव ए पी पधी ने कहा कि चक्रवात के धार्मिक नगरी पुरी के बेहद करीब शुक्रवार सुबह साढ़े नौ बजे पहुंचने की आशंका है और इसके यहां टकराने की पूरी प्रक्रिया चार-पांच घंटे की होगी।
मुख्यमंत्री नवीन पटनायक ने लोगों से अपील की है कि वे इस दौरान घरों के अंदर ही रहें और कहा कि लोगों की सुरक्षा के लिए सभी जरूरी इंतजाम किए गए हैं।
ओडिशा सरकार द्वारा लोगों को सुरक्षित स्थानों पर ले जाने का कार्य पहले से ही किया जा रहा है। सुरक्षित स्थानों पर पहुंचाए जा रहे लोगों के रहने के लिए लगभग 900 तूफान आश्रय स्थल पहले ही तैयार कर लिए गए हैं।
भारतीय मौसम विभाग ने आगाह करते हुए कहा कि लगभग 1.5 मीटर ऊंची तूफानी लहर उत्पन्न होने की प्रबल आशंका है, जिससे तटीय क्षेत्र से तूफान के टकराने के समय ओडिशा के गंजाम, खुर्दा, पुरी और जगतसिंहपुर जिलों के निचले तटीय क्षेत्रों में बाढ़ आ सकती है।
कैबिनेट सचिव ने राज्यों एवं केन्द्र की विभिन्न एजेंसियों की तैयारियों की समीक्षा करते हुए निर्देश दिया कि असुरक्षित क्षेत्रों के लोगों को सुरक्षित स्थानों एवं तूफान संबंधी आश्रय स्थलों पर पहुंचाया जाए और आवश्यक खाद्य पदार्थों, पेयजल एवं दवाओं का इंतजाम किया जाए।
भारतीय तट रक्षक बल और भारतीय नौसेना ने राहत एवं बचाव कार्य के लिए पोतों तथा हेलीकॉप्टरों को तैनात किया है जबकि भारतीय सेना और भारतीय वायु सेना को तीन राज्यों में तैयार रहने को कहा गया है।
कैबिनेट सचिव ने आम जनता के लिए एक केन्द्रीय टोल फ्री हेल्पलाइन शुरू करने का निर्देश दिया है।
उन्होंने केन्द्रीय मंत्रालयों से नियंत्रण कक्ष स्थापित करने को कहा है, ताकि राहत एवं बचाव कार्यों में समुचित समन्वय स्थापित किया जा सके।

The papers in the first session focussed on the use of Artificial Intelligence in Distance and Open Learning. Professor Sonal Chawla from the Department of Computer Science defined Artificial Intelligence in a layman’s language ‘when computer works on our behalf and automates basic activities like grades given to Students.’ The Softwares adapted to Students’ needs and student feedback reaches the Educators. The actual teaching situation is changing with the advent of Artificial Intelligence. Many papers on Artificial Intelligence were presented in the first and second sessions.
The other key speakers were Prof. Kulwinder, Deptt. of Education, Punjabi University, Patiala and Dr. Anil K. Dimra from the Regional Centre of IGNOU, Mohali.
One of the Speakers, Mr. Jeesu Jaskanwar Singh said that machines were behaving like human beings. It is big data which is making Artificial Intelligence a reality. Artificial Intelligence learns coding and algorithms. It is Artificial Intelligence which will automate the activities of teaching and research. Artificial Intelligence will help students in leaning difficult subjects. However, the biggest constraint is that 60, 000 jobs are being lost to robots in Apple. Artificial Intelligence has a mind of its own and man thus must learn to control it in a big way. Prof. Kulwinder spoke on the development of cognitive, emotive and social skills.Dr. Anil Dimra spoke on the cross section of students in Distance Education and the need to have strong student support services.
