The deadline was given by TRAI. TRAI had ordered Jio, Airtel and Vodafone-Idea to stop spam calls and fake messages. The new rule was also scheduled to come into effect from November 1. But now this can be changed. According to a report by ET, TRAI may change its deadline. TRAI may make changes in its recently released consultation paper. TRAI Chief said that our team has been working on this for the last 2 months. We are continuously taking new steps to make Indian networks secure. But we feel that we need a little more time to repair the network. If this is done then the deadline of December 31 can be set. That means the new rule will be implemented from January. In such a situation, it can be extended for some time.
TRAI will bring a new consultation paper-
Let us tell you, the consultation paper was implemented in the end of August. TRAI Chairman says that we are still considering it. It may take another three months. However, our aim is to implement it as soon as possible. In such a situation, we will come up with a new consultation paper in the month of January. 50 SMS has been mentioned in the consultation paper. These are done by telecom operators. There are many other messages also present in it.
It was said by TRAI that there are many such numbers which are calling or messaging the users without registration and this is also causing a lot of loss. Therefore, work should be done to stop such messages immediately.
Interviewer: Welcome to Time.news! Today, we’re thrilled to have Dr. Sarah Thompson, a renowned climate scientist and author, joining us for an in-depth discussion about the pressing issues surrounding climate change and its impact on our planet. Thank you for being here, Dr. Thompson!
Dr. Thompson: Thank you for having me! It’s a pleasure to discuss such important issues.
Interviewer: Let’s dive right in. Your latest book discusses the cascading effects of climate change on biodiversity. Can you share some of the most alarming findings from your research?
Dr. Thompson: Absolutely. One of the most alarming findings is the rapid decline of species diversity in ecosystems that are already under stress. For instance, coral reefs—the rainforests of the ocean—are facing unprecedented bleaching events due to rising sea temperatures. When corals die, entire ecosystems collapse, affecting countless marine species.
Interviewer: That sounds dire. How can everyday individuals contribute to mitigating these effects?
Dr. Thompson: There are several impactful ways individuals can help! Simple actions, like reducing energy consumption, embracing renewable energy sources, minimizing waste, and supporting sustainable practices in agriculture can make a significant difference. Also, advocating for policy changes in your local government can amplify individual efforts.
Interviewer: Speaking of policy, do you see any positive prospects in recent government initiatives globally?
Dr. Thompson: Yes, there have been some encouraging developments. The commitment of various countries to net-zero carbon emissions by mid-century is a step in the right direction. Promising programs focusing on reforestation, transitioning to electric vehicles, and investing in climate-resilient infrastructure are gaining traction. However, these commitments need to be followed by real action.
Interviewer: In your view, what role does technology play in combating climate change?
Dr. Thompson: Technology can be a game-changer! Innovations in renewable energy, like solar and wind power, are becoming increasingly efficient and affordable. Additionally, advancements in carbon capture and storage, as well as smart agricultural practices, can help us mitigate the effects of climate change. However, technology alone isn’t enough; it needs to be accompanied by a fundamental shift in societal values towards sustainability.
Interviewer: That brings us to the societal aspect. How do you think climate change narrative influences public perception and action?
Dr. Thompson: The narrative is crucial! If climate change is framed simply as a distant threat, people are less likely to act. But when we tell personal stories about its immediate impacts—like extreme weather events affecting communities—people can feel a connection and urgency to respond. It’s about making it relatable and emphasizing that solutions are within reach.
Interviewer: That’s a powerful insight. As we wrap up, what message do you want to leave our readers with?
Dr. Thompson: I want to emphasize hope and empowerment. Climate change can feel overwhelming, but every positive action counts. Engage in dialogues, educate yourself and those around you, and remember that collective efforts can lead to substantial change. We can’t wait for the future; we have to create it together!
Interviewer: Thank you, Dr. Thompson, for your insights and for inspiring action in the fight against climate change! Your work is vital in creating awareness and driving change.
Dr. Thompson: Thank you! It’s been a pleasure sharing these thoughts with you.
Interviewer: And thank you to our audience for tuning in! Stay informed and engaged. Together, we can make a difference. Until next time on Time.news!
