It will enable automatic collection of toll charges when the vehicle passes through a National Highway toll plaza, without the need to halt there. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This digital and efficient toll collection process can help save up \u20b912,000 worth of fuel and man-hours.

FASTags are currently issued by 22 certified banks in India and is also available on Amazon website.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The maximum cost of a FASTag would be around \u20b9100. However, the price may vary depending upon the various offers and discounts given by the banks. There are two ways of activating a FASTag. One is by activating it personally and the other is by taking help from the bank. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more details, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/auto.economictimes\">https:\/\/auto.economictimes<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Parliament_passes_Transgender_Persons_Bill\"><\/span>Parliament passes Transgender Persons Bill<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.nextgurukul.in\/thenextworld\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/shutterstock_1036193206-1170x694.jpg\" alt=\"Parliament passes Transgender Persons Bill\" class=\"wp-image-14412\" width=\"208\" height=\"123\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.nextgurukul.in\/thenextworld\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/shutterstock_1036193206-1170x694.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/blog.nextgurukul.in\/thenextworld\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/shutterstock_1036193206-768x456.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 208px) 100vw, 208px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The Parliament has passed the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Bill 2019.

Every year, on an average, the sea level along the Indian coast rises by 1.70 millimetres. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ministry also notified that the northern Indian Ocean has experienced a rise of 6.1 millimetres in its water level from 2003 to 2013. Diamond Harbour, Port Blair, Kandla and Haldia are at high risk of submersion due to their larger land subsidence. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This rise in sea level poses a life-threatening risk to the people living in the low lying areas due to natural calamities, such as tsunamis, floods and coastal erosions. Thus, there is an urgent need to address climate change and global warming and make them our top priority. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more details, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatoday.in\">https:\/\/www.indiatoday.in<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Earth_will_be_32%C2%B0C_hotter_by_2100_UNEP_Emissions_Gap_Report_2019\"><\/span>Earth will be 3.2\u00b0C hotter by 2100: UNEP Emissions Gap Report 2019<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.nextgurukul.in\/thenextworld\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/shutterstock_1186817197-1170x694.jpg\" alt=\"Earth will be 3.2\u00b0C hotter by 2100: UNEP Emissions Gap Report 2019\" class=\"wp-image-14430\" width=\"213\" height=\"127\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.nextgurukul.in\/thenextworld\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/shutterstock_1186817197-1170x694.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/blog.nextgurukul.in\/thenextworld\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/shutterstock_1186817197-768x456.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 213px) 100vw, 213px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) released its annual Emissions Gap Report 2019 which states that the global temperature will rise by 3.2 degrees Celsius by 2100. The report is a 68-page document compiled by 57 leading scientists from 33 institutions across 25 countries. <br> The world leaders, who signed the Paris Agreement in 2015, agreed to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius by the end of the century. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, according to the report, we are far from the goal and the emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) has not been controlled, and has in fact increased. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some key highlights of the report:<br>a. China, USA, EU28 and India are the top four emitters of greenhouse gases in the world.<br>b. The target of reducing the global temperature can only be achieved when the GHG emissions are reduced by 7.6% every year from 2020 to 2030.<br>c. India is one of the leading countries interested in electric vehicle development.<br>d. Complete decarbonisation of the energy sector is necessary and it is also possible.<br>e. All countries must strive to reduce GHG emissions by up to five times in order to achieve the target of 1.5 degrees Celsius.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more details, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/currentaffairs.gktoday.in\">https:\/\/currentaffairs.gktoday.in<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Last_Sumatran_Rhino_extinct_in_Malaysia\"><\/span>Last Sumatran Rhino extinct in Malaysia<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.nextgurukul.in\/thenextworld\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/shutterstock_750033976-1170x694.jpg\" alt=\"Last Sumatran Rhino extinct in Malaysia\" class=\"wp-image-14429\" width=\"203\" height=\"120\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.nextgurukul.in\/thenextworld\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/shutterstock_750033976-1170x694.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/blog.nextgurukul.in\/thenextworld\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/shutterstock_750033976-768x456.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 203px) 100vw, 203px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Malaysia\u2019s only Sumatran rhino, Iman died of cancer on the island of Borneo on 23 November 2019.
