Rourkela Steel Plant commissions ladle furnace
It was commissioned in Steel Melting Shop-II on Wednesday. A ladle furnace is the second unit used to refine molten steel after it is produced in a primary furnace. Rourkela (Odisha), Jun 12 (PTI) The Rourkela Steel Plant (RSP) of SAIL on Thursday said it has commissioned a state-of-the-art Ladle Furnace 2D (LF#2D). This achievement underscores RSP's commitment to technological modernisation, enhanced productivity, and a strong culture of safety, the company said in a statement. The newly operational LF#2D is a critical facility that will significantly boost productivity by ensuring a timely and efficient supply of liquid steel to the new slab caster alongside the existing ones. Alok Verma, Director In-Charge, RSP, with additional charge of Durgapur Steel Plant & IISCO Steel Plant said, 'Steel is not just what we make — it is who we are. RSP is truly proud of everyone's sincere and hardworking efforts.' He also congratulated everyone associated with the project for the successful commissioning of LF#2D. The LF#2D is a state-of-the-art facility equipped with a 30 MVA furnace transformer, a water-cooled ladle roof, a hydraulic roof-lifting system, advanced electrode handling assemblies, and a mechanised ferroalloy feeding system. The commissioning process was executed with attention to safety and strict compliance with protocols, achieving a zero-incident record, the RSP said.

Nepals parliament deadlock ends as 3 key parties reach agreement on visa scam
Kathmandu, Jun 13 (PTI) The over two-week-long deadlock in Nepal's House of Representatives (HoR) ended on Friday after the ruling Nepali Congress, CPN-UML, and main opposition CPN (Maoist Centre) reached a two-point agreement addressing the visit visa scam and immigration irregularities. The HoR session resumed after 17 days of obstruction by opposition parties, demanding the resignation of Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak over alleged involvement in the visa scam. The agreement, signed by the three parties, includes full cooperation with the ongoing investigation by the Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA) and a commitment to policy, legal, and structural reforms in the immigration and visa systems, Nepali Congress (NC) MP Bimalendra Nidhi said. Despite the agreement, the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) continued their protest, saying that it was not satisfied with the deal reached between the ruling alliance and the Maoist Centre. The opposition parties, including the Maoist Centre and RSP, have been obstructing the lower house of Parliament since May 27 demanding resignation of Home Minister and NC leader Lekhak. The CIAA, the anti-graft body, during an investigation found that immigration officers at the Tribhuvan International Airport were allowing Nepalese youths seeking jobs abroad to visit a third country on visit visa without producing work permits by paying tens of thousands of rupees as bribes. The chief of the immigration department at the airport has been suspended following a raid by the CIAA. The opposition parties have alleged that Home Minister Lekhak was also involved in the scam and demanded his resignation to allow impartial investigation into the case. However, Lekhak has denied the allegation and assured to cooperate with the anti-graft body in the ongoing investigation into the immigration irregularities. Home Minister Lekhak addressed the House, denying any involvement in the scam. Home Minister Lekhak also accused the RSP of registering complaints against him by bringing fake victims in the case.

Rourkela Steel Plant commissions advanced ladle furnace to boost output

Petrol pump owner arrested for duping woman of Rs 57L
1 2 R ourkela: A petrol pump owner was arrested by Raghunathpalli police here on Tuesday evening for fraudulently taking Rs 57 lakh death benefits of his friend and cheating his wife. He was identified as Duryodhan Pasayat, 50. After the death of Mangal Majhi, a technician in RSP, in 2014, his wife Tula Majhi gave all documents of Mangal pertaining to his work in RSP to Duryodhan and sought his help in getting the provident fund, insurance and gratuity amounts along with other death benefits of her deceased husband. Duryodhan took voluntary retirement from RSP in 2016. Since Tula was illiterate, Duryodhan cunningly took her thumb impression on paper and withdrawal slip and also on other required documents and regularly withdrew most of the money from Tula's account and transferred it to his own. After Mangal's death, Tula was supposed to get Rs 34,713 per month as salary but Duryodhan was giving her only Rs 5,000 keeping the rest with him. Mangal's son, who is now 24 years, some days ago grew suspicious as his deceased father's PF, gratuity and insurance money were not in his mother's account. When he and Tula asked Duryodhan, he feigned ignorance. Tula lodged FIR in Raghunathpalli police station. Police detained Duroydhan on Monday evening and interrogated him. He confessed to his crime.

Porsche 963 RSP: Le Mans race car turned into road-going hypercar
Porsche has a new hypercar based on its Le Mans Daytona hybrid (LMDh) class race car, but it's just a one-off. Unveiled ahead of this week's 24 Hours of Le Mans, the new 963 RSP is based on the 963 race car that competes in the FIA's World Endurance Championship – of which Le Mans is one of eight races – and the IMSA SportsCar Championship, which includes the 24 Hours of Daytona. The new 963 RSP is so named because it was built, nominally, for Roger Searle Penske, owner of many racing teams, the IndyCar racing series, and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Porsche Penske Motorsports runs the factory team racing the 963. Through his eponymous corporation he also has his hands in car dealerships, automotive engineering, trucking, and logistics. According to Porsche, the RSP is inspired by the Count Rossi 917 (pictured below), a race car from the 1970s that was turned into a road-going vehicle, and remains on French roads to this day. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. The team working on turning the 963 race car into the RSP decided early on to follow the Count Rossi 917 template, and make as few changes as possible. This, no doubt, reduced development time and cost significantly, but also means the RSP is not homologated, and is therefore limited to road use under "special circumstances". For its debut on the streets near Circuit de la Sarthe, where the Le Mans 24 Hour race is held, it wore manufacturer plates. To that end the headlights and tail-lights have been reprogrammed, while a horn and licence plate brackets have been added to the car. The most significant changes to the 963's exterior are the addition of fully covered wheel-arches, and the removal of the blanking plates for the rear wing. An enamel Porsche badge has been added to the front, while 1970s-era Michelin logos are used for the rain-spec 18-inch race tyres that are wrapped around forged OZ racing wheels. Painting the 963 RSP in Martini Silver was problematic due to the car's Kevlar and carbon-fibre body. Some smaller body parts, such as the hinges and wing connectors, are finished in satin black. For the interior, the single-piece air-conditioned carbon seat is trimmed in leather. It is made more comfortable with a cushion down the middle and a fixed head restraint fitted to the rear bulkhead. Leather is also used for the steering wheel, while faux suede is applied to the headlining, leg cushions and door trim. A 3D-printed cupholder has been added to the middle of the dashboard. As real-world roads aren't racetrack-smooth, the RSP sits on the 963's tallest suspension setting, and the race-going Multimatic DSSV dampers are set to their most absorbent. Powering the RSP is a hybrid system with a 4.6-litre twin-turbo V8 at its core, plus a 1.35kWh battery, 800V electrical system, and an electric motor that can deliver up to 50kW in short bursts. The drivetrain is in race-spec trim, and overall output is limited to the V8's maximum output of around 507kW (680hp). When the electric motor operates in tandem with the petrol engine, the V8's power is clipped so the maximum output of the drivetrain is maintained. Under light loads, the 963 can operate solely on electric power. Given the RSP will live most of its life driving at a moderate pace, the electric motor has been remapped to prioritise smooth power delivery. The V8 has also been retuned to live on lower-octane petrol. After swanning around at Le Mans, the 963 RSP will head off to the Porsche museum in Stuttgart, and then make an appearance at this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed.
