Pres­i­dent elect Oba­ma rec­og­nized the ef­fort we’ve car­ried out and showed a will­ing­ness to keep col­lab­o­rat­ing, but it re­quires stronger and more force­ful ac­tion. There isn’t enough un­der­stand­ing on the in­ter­na­tion­al lev­el, and es­pe­cial­ly in the U.S., of the im­por­tance of joint ac­tion to con­front or­ga­nized crime. Bus ac­ci­dent fire kills 63 The bus ac­ci­dent which took the lives of near­ly 63 peo­ple show­cas­es the shod­dy con­di­tion of In­di­an trans­porta­tion sys­tem. The in­ci­dent took place in Ut­tar Pradesh an eco­nom­i­cal­ly poor state in per­pet­u­al short­age of re­sources to en­sure mo­torable roads let alone a good trans­porta­tion sys­tem for its peo­ple. There are a plen­ty of pri­vate bus op­er­a­tors too who man­age to run their own fleet of bus­es in bla­tant dis­re­gard of all safe­ty norms. About a month ago a bus fell in­to deep gorge, near Shim­la when driv­er lost con­trol over the wheel while chang­ing a CD. In the most re­cent in­ci­dent, the axle of the bus broke down and there­by caus­ing the tragedy. Both these in­ci­dents and many more that go un­re­port­ed high­light the need to over­haul our trans­porta­tion sys­tem. In­fla­tion spoils Ei­di Buy­ing and slaugh­ter­ing the sheep too give its meat away to fam­i­ly, friends and those in needs is one of the main as­pects of Eid-​ul-​ad­ha. This year how­ev­er not all Jor­da­ni­ans were able to prac­tice same tra­di­tions as ev­ery year be­cause of steep rise in prices of sheep. But the rise in prices of sheep was not ex­clu­sive to those an­i­mals as it al­so in­clud­ed ba­sic com­modi­ties which made some Jor­da­ni­ans hes­i­tant to make pur­chas­es for Eid. Some found it hard to buy new clothes and in­stead bought used clothes, oth­ers were not able to buy any­thing which was al­so a bad news for shop­keep­ers as they com­plain that this Eid-​ul-​Ad­ha had dev­as­tat­ing im­pact on their busi­ness.
