A thick blanket of smoke continues to engulf the east Delhi’s Ghazipur dumping yard after a fire broke out in the area on Monday. Firefighters, who reached the spot on Monday afternoon, are battling swampy stretches, a hostile terrain which their vehicles can't tread, to put out the flames which continue to smoulder. #WATCH Smoke continues to rise from the Ghazipur landfill, which has been burning since Monday, 28 March #Delhi pic.twitter.com/MSJroRF9ea — ANI (@ANI) March 30, 2022 But, what exactly happened at the dumping yard to cause such a blaze is yet to be ascertained. Here’s all we know about the incident and the fallout of such an incident. Fire breaks out At 2.30 pm on Monday, the fire department received a call about a fire at Ghazipur's Khatta.

Acharya Jivatram Bhagwandas Kripalani was close to Jawaharlal Nehru at the time of Independence. Nehru had supported Kripalani for the Congress presidency in 1950, but Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel’s candidate, Purushottam Das Tandon, easily won the day. It’s another matter that Sardar Patel died that very year and Nehru, becoming all-powerful in the party, forced Tandon to resign. Cut to 1955, and five years can be a long time in politics. Kripalani then found himself standing against Nehru. During a debate in Parliament on the Hindu Code Bill that sought to reform personal laws for Hindus, he took on Nehru. “I charge you (Nehru) with communalism because you are bringing forward a law about monogamy only for Hindu community. Take it from me that the Muslim community is prepared to have it but you are not brave enough to do it,” he said. Kripalani wasn’t alone in exposing Nehru’s secular double standards. MC Chagla, noted jurist and Nehru’s Cabinet colleague, wrote in his memoirs  Roses i

The results of 18 th Assembly election of Uttar Pradesh have bulldozed numerous tall claims, and hence, to justify them several conspiracy theories have been floated up. The concealment of mandate through EVM manipulation has been dominated since the 2017 election, but this time tampering in the electoral roll has been added. It is alleged that locally names of supporters of Opposition parties were strategically eliminated from the electoral roll, and hence, the Opposition parties lost many seats with narrow margins. To support this, numerous images have been circulated on social media claiming that the margin of victory between the incumbent BJP and the challenger SP has been below 2,000 votes on so many seats. The claims about the number of such seats have been varying. Although the electoral roll tampering allegation cannot be verified at this stage, claims about the margin of victories can be analysed easily. Based on the constituency wise trend of election result data of the Ele

The visit of Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi could be summarised in the following words: “He came uninvited, was snubbed, and returned with actionable points.” Wang Yi arrived on Thursday night and unlike other dignitaries of his stature, was forced to move through the normal arrival lounge at the Delhi airport rather than the Air Force station. This sent the first message that India considered him unwelcomed. There was no announcement on Wang’s visit based on a request from the Chinese government. This gave the impression that China was not expecting any gains to flow from the visit. Possibly China had gauged the Indian viewpoint. On Friday, Wang Yi met National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval and External Affairs Minister (EAM) S Jaishankar before departing for Kathmandu. While Jaishankar is his counterpart, the NSA and Wang are Special Representatives for resolution of the border. While attending the OIC summit in Islamabad, Wang had commented on Kashmir, following which the In
