Features: I. Cartosat-2E is the sixth and last of the second generation cartography themed series, which started in 2007 with Cartosat-2 and includes Cartosat-2A, 2B, 2C and 2D. The last three are said to be exclusive to defence and security agencies 2. Cartosat-2E offers images of the same 60-cm resolution as 2C and 2D; The same feature is now available for the genuine use of civil agencies, mostly government agencies. That is-it can capture objects that are 60-cm wide or long. Advantages: I.Avalability of high-resolution Cartosat-2E data to civil agencies would drive down import of remote sensing imageries from foreign EO satellite:s. 2. A report of the Comptroller and Auditor General for 2010-11 had noted that "the prices of high resolution satellite data in the international market were six times more than the prices of comparable products" of Indian remote-sensing satellites. In the Future: On the third-generation Cartosats, ISRO is working on Cartosat-3, the first approved spacecraft in the series.

Page 10: MEA accepts U.S.use of administered Kashmir' The External Affairs Ministry, in an apparent volte face,accepted that the U.S.s usage of the term "Indian- administered Jammu and Kashmir" was acceptable and "affirms" India's position. MEA spokesperson said, The use of the term 'Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir' merely affirms our position that Syed Salahuddin has been involved in cross-border terrorism in India".

Among the disputed areas is Doklam (also called Donglang in China), which is just about 90 square kilometres where the present dispute is taking pace. For Chinese to reach the China-Bhutan border posts, Doklam provides an easy way to construct their road, and they have been trying to do so. India has consistently objected to it.

From the Chumbi Valley it is just a little over 100 kilometres away.

Not for now." an ex-army officer with extensive knowledge of the India-China dispute said. For Daily News & Editorial Analysis, you can follow me on Unacademy https://unacademy.com/user/studiousjatin
