==Background==&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Monsoon of South Asia|South Asian monsoon season]], which spans from June to September, typically brings about 80% of annual rainfall to the region.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:5&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite news |last1=Yasir |first1=Sameer |last2=Kumar |first2=Hari |title=Evacuations Ordered in Delhi: Monsoon Flooding in Pictures |language=en-US |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/13/world/asia/delhi-flooding-evacuations-monsoon.html |access-date=2023-07-15 |issn=0362-4331 |archive-date=16 July 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230716024953/https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/13/world/asia/delhi-flooding-evacuations-monsoon.html |url-status=live }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Sixteen thousand individuals were provided shelter in relief tents arranged by the Delhi government.

&#039;&#039;&#039;Kumar Shri Duleepsinhji&#039;&#039;&#039; (13 June 1905 – 5 December 1959) was a [[cricket]]er who played for [[England cricket team|England]]. Playing in the era before the [[Indian cricket team]], he is considered one of India&#039;s first great batsmen, alongside his uncle [[Ranjitsinhji]], who also represented England.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/stuart-wark-who-was-india-s-first-great-batsman-644227 |title=Who was India&#039;s first great batsman|access-date=1 Jan 2021}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Born in present-day [[Gujarat]], he was educated at the [[Rajkumar College, Rajkot]], before moving to England as a boy, where he attended [[Cheltenham College]], and [[Cambridge University]]. The [[Duleep Trophy]], long one of the premier competitions in Indian first class cricket, is named after him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Cricket career ==&lt;br /&gt;
{{Expand section|date=September 2022}}&lt;br /&gt;
Descended from the [[Jam Sahib]]s of [[Nawanagar State]], Duleepsinhji was born on the [[Kathiawar]] peninsula in present-day [[Gujarat]]. His brothers included [[Himmatsinhji (general)|Himmatsinhji]], the first [[Governor of Himachal Pradesh|Lieutenant-Governor]] of [[Himachal Pradesh]], and [[Digvijaysinhji Ranjitsinhji|Digvijaysinhji]], who succeeded the brothers&#039; uncle, [[Ranjitsinhji]], as ruler of Nawanagar.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;ICC&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://www.icc-cricket.com/news/691775 |title=Royalty on the cricket field |work=International Cricket Council |access-date=18 May 2018}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Ranjitsinhji, after whom the [[Ranji Trophy]] is named, also played cricket for [[England cricket team|England]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;ICC&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/india/content/story/261615.html|title=Ranji Trophy|access-date=25 September 2019|work=ESPN Cricinfo}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
While he was still playing school cricket, the future President of the [[Marylebone Cricket Club|MCC]], [[Harry Altham|HS Altham]], wrote of him in [[Wisden Cricketers&#039; Almanack|Wisden]]: &amp;quot;In natural gifts of eye, wrist and footwork he is certainly blest far above the ordinary measure... there is no doubt about the judgment and certainty with which he takes toll of straight balls of anything but the most immaculate length. His late cutting is quite beautiful and there is a certain ease and maturity about all his batting methods that stamps him as of a different class from the ordinary school batsman.&amp;quot; Duleepsinhji went on to achieve great success as a [[batsman]] for Cheltenham College, [[Cambridge University Cricket Club|Cambridge University]], [[Sussex County Cricket Club|Sussex]] and eventually [[England cricket team|England]] in a career cut short by recurrent illness. His Test average of 58.5 ranks him among the best batsmen to have played Test cricket. In 1930, playing for Sussex, he scored 333 runs in one day against Northamptonshire.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;oneday&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/magazine/content/story/149270.html |title=Duleep&#039;s triple |access-date=9 May 2017 |work=ESPN Cricinfo|date=7 May 2007 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Public service==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Kumar Shri Duleepsinhji-visit.jpg|thumb|left|The photo shows one of Duleepsinhji&#039;s routine visits to a village near [[Junagadh]] in [[Saurashtra State]] to see the living conditions of the local people. He is being given the traditional welcome by the villagers by drum beating and pipe music.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Following his playing career, and based on his experience as [[High Commissioner (Commonwealth)|High Commissioner]] of India in [[Australia]] and [[New Zealand]], Duleepsinhji was made Chairman of the Public Service Commission in the [[Saurashtra State|State of Saurashtra]] after his return to India.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Duleepsinhji also visited the first and the only public utility [[thermal power station]] in the State, at that time located at [[Shapur Sorath]], near a village called Vanthly (near [[Junagadh]]). As this power station was using crushed [[coal]] as fuel for boilers and chlorination for the cooling water system, which normally polluted the local atmosphere; he wanted to see personally the working conditions and the amenities provided for the villagers housing and the recreation facilities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Death==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Duleepsinhji died on 5 December 1959, following a heart attack, in [[Bombay]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |title=PRINCE DULEEPSINHJI, 54 |url=https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1959/12/06/88842830.html?action=click&amp;amp;contentCollection=Archives&amp;amp;module=ArticleEndCTA&amp;amp;region=ArchiveBody&amp;amp;pgtype=article&amp;amp;pageNumber=86 |access-date=16 June 2019 |work=The New York Times |date=December 6, 1959}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The [[Duleep Trophy]] is named in his honour.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/india/content/story/313361.html|title=Duleep Trophy|access-date=25 September 2019|work=ESPN Cricinfo}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Chamber of Deputies&#039;&#039;&#039; ({{Lang-es|Cámara de Diputados}}) was the lower house of [[Venezuela]]&#039;s legislative under its 1961 constitution; the [[Venezuelan Senate]] was the upper house. Under the [[Constitution of Venezuela|1999 constitution]], the bicameral system was replaced by the unicameral [[National Assembly of Venezuela]].&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:LegislativoCentro.jpg|thumb|[[Palacio Federal Legislativo]]]]&lt;br /&gt;
At the [[1993 Venezuelan parliamentary election]], the Chamber saw the introduction of a [[mixed member proportional representation]] system,&amp;lt;ref name=Crisp/&amp;gt; modelled on the German system, with some variations.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Crisp and Rey(2003:189)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; This replaced the previous &amp;quot;closed-list proportional representation system [which had] led to an extremely party-centered system.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Crisp and Rey (2003: 192)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The traditionally dominant [[Democratic Action (Venezuela)|Democratic Action]] and [[COPEI]] &amp;quot;supported it because it looked the most like the system under which they had prospered&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref name=Crisp&amp;gt;Crisp, Brian F. and Rey, Juan Carlos (2003), &amp;quot;The Sources of Electoral Reform in Venezuela&amp;quot;, in Shugart, Matthew Soberg, and Martin P.

&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&amp;quot;Seats for the Chamber of Deputies were allocated to each state on the basis of its population. Since 1970 a number of citizens equal to 0.55% of the population is entitled to a deputy, but since 1993 no state can have fewer than three deputies. A quota for additional seats in the Chamber of Deputies is calculated by dividing the total number of votes cast by the number of deputies determined by the size of the population. The number of votes received by each party nationally for deputies is divided by this result, and the difference between the seats already won and this final result is the number of additional seats awarded to the party. As in the Senate, there has always been a limit to the total number of additional seats any given party can receive. (Since 1980 no party has been allowed more than five additional seats in the Chamber of Deputies.)&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Crisp and Rey(2003:175)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

At the Chamber&#039;s [[1998 Venezuelan parliamentary election|last election in 1998]], it had 207 members.&lt;br /&gt;
