In a major breakthrough on Tuesday morning, the rescue officials — who had been working round-the-clock to reach the workers trapped inside a tunnel in Uttarakhand for the last 10 days — have managed to capture their images through an endoscopy camera.

Twenty-three fishing boats turned to ashes in a massive blaze and blasts which followed at a harbour in Visakhapatnam late on Sunday night. The estimated loss in the shocking incident is being estimated at about Rs 30 crore. Local fishermen suspect some criminals set the boats on fire. There is also suspicion that the fire was triggered by a party in a boat anchored in the area.

Delhi-NCR air climbs to hazardous levels once again as ban on firecrackers goes up in smoke

Air quality in Delhi and surrounding cities reached hazardous levels a day after Diwali due to the widespread violation of the firecracker ban across the National Capital Region (NCR) on Sunday raising serious environmental concerns. Realtime air monitoring platforms on Monday morning pegged the air quality index (AQI) above 500, with some places touching as high as 900. Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium recorded an AQI of 910, Lajpat Nagar 959 and Karol Bagh 779 at about 6 am, according to aqi.in. The average AQI was around 300 at most places, showed data recorded by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB). The level of PM2.5 pollutants crossed 500 at most places across the city during the day. Air quality index is an indicator to measure air pollution. An AQI between zero and 50 is considered ‘good’, 51 and 100 ‘satisfactory’, 101 and 200 ‘moderate’, 201 and 300 ‘poor’, 301 and 400 ‘very poor’, 401 and 450 ‘severe’ and above 450 ‘severe plus’. The Supreme Court last week clarified that

Power supply, healthcare facilities remain concern for Asia’s oldest monastery

Uninterrupted power supply and access to medical care remain important worries for Asia’s oldest monastery in Arunachal Pradesh’s Tawang. The waste left behind by the monastery’s expanding number of tourists has also become a source of concern for Abbot Shedling Tulku Thupten Tendar Rinpoche, the monastery’s chief. The Rinpoche, who has been the head of the Tawang Monastery for a year, is pleased with the monks and learners under him, but he is concerned about other facilities accessible to them. Tawang Monastery is Asia’s second largest and oldest. It was established between 1680 and 1681. Speaking to PTI in his native Tibetan through an interpreter, Rinpoche said, “The monks of our monastery are much disciplined and concentrate on their studies. They have been following the laid-down traditions well enough. “For us, one major issue is healthcare facilities. In case of any health-related emergency, our monks have to travel to Guwahati or Tezpur. If the government can ensure simil

Delhi may see best Diwali day air quality in 8 years if firecracker ban works

A strict enforcement of the firecracker ban promises to provide Delhi with the greatest air quality on Diwali day in eight years on Sunday. Delhi residents awoke to bright sky and plenty of sunshine, and the city’s Air Quality Index (AQI) was 202 at 7 a.m., the highest in at least three weeks. An AQI of zero to 50 is regarded ‘good,’ 51 to 100’satisfactory,’ 101 to 200’moderate,’ 201 to 300 ‘poor,’ 301 to 400’very poor,’ 401 to 450’severe,’ and over 450’severe plus’. The 24-hour average air quality index was 220 on Saturday, the lowest for the day before Diwali in eight years. This time, Delhi saw a sharp improvement in air quality just ahead of Diwali which can be attributed to intermittent rainfall on Friday and wind speed favourable for the dispersion of pollutants. To put this in perspective, Thursday’s 24-hour average AQI stood at 437. Delhi recorded an AQI of 312 on Diwali last year, 382 in 2021, 414 in 2020, 337 in 2019, 281 in 2018, 319 in 2017, and 431 in 2016, according

US urges India to cooperate with Canada into Nijjar killing; New Delhi raised concerns over pro-Khalistani activities

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken urged India to cooperate with Canada’s investigation into the killing of a Sikh separatist in June this year, which has sparked a significant diplomatic dispute between New Delhi and Ottawa.

The order from a bench of Justices AS Bopanna and MM Sundresh came after they were hearing an application seeking to direct Rajasthan to implement the court’s order banning use of certain firecrackers and reducing air and noise pollution. “At this juncture, no specific order will be necessary in as much as this Court, in the course of hearing the petitions, has passed several orders, where steps have been indicated to minimise and avoid air as well as noise pollution.
