Footfall in RTO office reduces by 60%, says RTO
Mangaluru: The office of the Mangaluru RTO has witnessed a drastic decline in footfall, thanks to the online facilities in the Parivahan portal, said RTO Shridhar K Mallad. At a transport adalat held on Monday, the RTO stated that the Mangaluru RTO office issues an average of 500-600 Registration Certificate (RC) smart cards and 300-400 driving licences (DL) per day. In the past year, 1.4 lakh smart cards were delivered to applicants' addresses. Since the Parivahan portal offers options to apply for or renew licences and several other features, the majority of people have stopped visiting the RTO office. He requested people to update their mobile numbers in their RC and DL by logging on to the Parivahan portal so that all messages pertaining to various information will be delivered to the users' mobile phones. With e-challan systems implemented through the Command and Control Centre, owners now receive real-time notifications on traffic violations, vehicle fitness expiry, DL expiry, and other updates, he added. In response to a complaint raised by a participant, the RTO said the office premises are free from crowds. "People need to go to different counters at the RTO office to get their work done. They can apply for everything online through Parivahan. The RC and DL are sent to the applicant's address by speed post. There is no mess at the RTO office now as more than 60% of the applications are processed online. People need not come to the RTO office," he said. The govt has sanctioned Rs 1.5 crore for the renovation of the RTO office. The public works department will commence the work soon, he said. On a proposal to open pre-paid autorickshaw counters at railway stations in Mangaluru, the RTO mentioned that a team of officials has already conducted a study in Palakkad and Mysuru. A confusion regarding the rent for the pre-paid parking counters will be resolved soon to commence the system, he said. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).

$300 billion climate finance target by 2035 is insufficient: Centre
The government has expressed its disappointment with the outcome of COP-29 at Baku, saying the new global climate finance target of $ 300 billion annually by 2035 is "substantially insufficient" to meet the financing needs of developing nations. Responding to a question in the Lok Sabha, Minister of State for Environment Kirti Vardhan Singh said that the New Collective Quantified Goal on climate finance "does not address the needs and priorities of developing countries" and is "incompatible with the principle of Common but Differentiated Responsibilities and Respective Capabilities (CBDR-RC) and Equity". He cited estimates of the Standing Committee on Finance under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), which place these needs between $ 5.1-6.8 trillion (equivalent to $ 455-584 billion) per year for up to 2030. The minister said that the categorisation of climate-related outflows and financial efforts by multilateral development banks as contributions to the $ 300 billion goal would include inputs from developing countries themselves, even though the UNFCCC and its Paris Agreement require that "developed countries provide and take lead in mobilising climate finance for developing countries". He said India has submitted its view on the "Baku to Belm Roadmap to 1.3T", emphasising that the roadmap "must reflect the perspectives and concerns of developing country parties" and that its suggestions "must adhere to the principles of the UNFCCC and its Paris Agreement, including equity, common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities and the principles of Article 9.1 of the Paris Agreement". COP-29 or the 2024 United Nations Climate Change Conference was held in Baku, Azerbaijan, in November last year. A key item on the agenda was agreeing to a New Collective Quantified Goal (NCQG) on climate finance to replace the $ 100 billion-per-year pledge made by developed countries in 2009. Parties adopted a target of mobilising at least $ 300 billion annually by 2035, from a mix of public, private, bilateral, multilateral, and alternative sources. Several developing countries have argued that the $300 billion annual goal is far below the scale of resources required to respond to climate change impacts and transition to low-carbon economies. Their position is based on UNFCCC assessments, which estimate that their combined needs amount to at least $ 455-584 billion per year until 2030. Critics also point out that a portion of the $ 300 billion could come from private investment or loans, rather than new and additional public finance from developed countries, which could increase debt burdens instead of providing concessional or grant-based support. The "Baku to Belm Roadmap to 1.3T" refers to the proposed plan to scale up global climate finance flows to $ 1.3 trillion per year by 2035. It is meant to guide discussions and technical work between COP-29 in Baku and COP-30 in Belem, Brazil, in November this year. The roadmap is expected to outline milestones, timelines and the balance between public and private finance, and to address the allocation of funds for mitigation, adaptation and loss and damage in developing countries. India, along with several like-minded developing countries, has sought a higher mobilisation goal of $ 1.3 trillion per year till 2030. It has said that such a target should be met through public finance from developed countries, should adhere to equity and CBDR-RC, and should avoid counting contributions that originate from developing countries themselves. Article 9.1 of the Paris Agreement states: "Developed country Parties shall provide financial resources to assist developing country Parties with respect to both mitigation and adaptation in continuation of their existing obligations under the Convention." This provision makes it a legal obligation for developed countries to take the lead in providing climate finance, reflecting the Convention's principle of CBDR-RC. The principle of CBDR-RC means all countries share the responsibility to address climate change, but not equally. Developed countries are expected to take the lead because they have contributed more to the problem historically and have greater financial and technological capacity, while developing countries' responsibilities are adjusted to their capabilities and development needs.

KTM RC 160 To Launch Alongside 160 Duke In India: Report
KTM India recently teased a new motorcycle, which is expected to be the 160 Duke. Now, Ackodrive's report suggests that the automaker will also launch the RC 160 alongside the naked sport in the Indian market in August 2025. It is to be noted that earlier, the bike was expected to launch in 2026. However, the brand seems to have changed its plan to introduce the bike with a supersport design early. While the Indian market already has the KTM RC 200 and the RC 390, the Austrian brand has no representative in the lower segment. It is ruled by the Yamaha R15 V4, which will be a rival to the RC 160 upon its launch. Furthermore, the bike is expected to have a similar styling to its relatively older and bigger siblings, which have been on sale for quite some time now. With a full fairing, the bike is expected to have the typical RC characteristics. The previous entry-level model in the RC series prior to the RC 160 was the RC 125, which was phased out due to poor sales. The motorcycle's pricing likely played a significant role in this decision. Therefore, the brand must make the right choices this time to ensure that the new model attracts buyers. It is also going to be the most affordable model of the RC range in the Indian market. The specifics of the KTM RC 160 are not yet available. However, we expect it to have a 160 cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine. This engine is expected to produce around 20 hp. If this remains the case, this unit will be shared with the 160 Duke. Additionally, the components will likely be sourced from the RC 200 to preserve the distinct KTM characteristics. The rest of the details will be confirmed upon launch.
