MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS
1)Consider the following:
1)Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), Bharatiya Nyaya Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA)- have the fragrance of Indianness and our ethos of justice. It is the responsibility of the Constitution to give justice to every person and our criminal justice system is the means to bring this spirit of the Constitution to reality.
2)Laws made 150 years ago cannot remain relevant today. There is a vast difference between the objectives of 1860 and today's India, and interests of rulers of those times and the objectives of our Constitution today, but the machinery of implementation has remained the same. For years, people did not get justice, instead the justice system was blamed for only giving newer dates of hearing and gradually the trust of the people on our systems was getting eroded. That is why Modi government has done the work of implementing BNS instead of IPC, BNSS instead of CrPC and BSA instead of Evidence A 3)e-Sakshya, Nyaay Setu, Nyaay Shruti and e-Summon apps have been launched. Under e-Sakshya, all videography, photography and testimonies will be saved on the e-evidence server, which will also be available in the courts immediately.
4)Under the e-Summon, it will be sent electronically from the court to the police station and also to the person to whom the summons is to be sent.

2)Methane, the second most important greenhouse gas, has 26 times more global warming potential compared to carbon-di-oxide.
3)Wetlands, ruminants, rice fields, landfills are sources of methane produced by the action of methanogens. In a counteractive way, methanotrophs or methane oxidizing bacteria oxidize this methane and build up their biomass, breathing oxygen and producing CO 2 and H 2 O as we do.
3)Methanotrophs are natural methane mitigating agents and are present in all the environments where methane and oxygen both are available. Wetlands, rice fields, ponds and other water bodies are the habitats where these grow in abundance. It’s because of the activities of methanotrophs that atmospheric methane values have not skyrocketed over the years.
