On the night of 2nd June 2023, 3 trains collided beside a small village in Odisha. 296 people died and more than 1,200 were injured.
The official rescue teams reached the site about 30 minutes later.
For that half hour, the people pulling passengers out of the wreckage were villagers using the torches on their mobile phones.
One of them was 17 years old. His name is Subhransu Panda.
He is from Bahanaga, a small block town in Balasore district. The Coromandel Express entered the wrong line at full speed and hit a stationary goods train. Coaches were thrown across the adjacent track and a second passenger train ran into them.
It happened metres from people's houses.
Villagers from Bahanaga and from the surrounding hamlets, Kamaripur, Ichhapur, Daradia and Krushnapur, ran to the tracks. Hundreds of them. Men, women, teenagers.
It was dark. There was no lighting at the site. They climbed into the coaches holding up their phones and worked by that light.
Subhransu has described how it was organised, without anyone organising it. The older boys and young men did the lifting and the pulling. The younger children ran to the tube wells and carried buckets of water, because the bottled water in the market had run out within minutes.
Injured passengers were taken away on motorcycles and auto rickshaws because there were no ambulances yet. Someone dialled 108. Within about half an hour, 3 ambulances arrived and started carrying people to Soro, a bigger town 10 to 12 km away.
The village high school was turned into a temporary morgue.
Among the first people to reach the wreckage were Ranajit Giri, Biprada Bag, Asha Behera and Ashok Bera. All of them lived beside that track.
Days later, journalists who went back found the villagers still unable to sleep. They talked about the smell that would not leave the air, and about the sounds they had heard from inside the coaches before they could get to them.
Odisha has a scheme that trains villagers as first responders for cyclones and earthquakes. It is called Aapada Mitra.
Reporters found that most people in Bahanaga had never heard of it and could not say who in the village had been trained.
They did it anyway, in the dark, with the torches on their phones.
"Is anybody here? Is anybody here?"
Chinese first rescue team is searching the core disaster area of the Gyirong Port. The whole area is buried under the mud.
Rescuers knock and call out, trying to find anyone who may still be alive. Be careful and stay safe🙏
#WATCH | US: RSS Sarsanghchalak Mohan Bhagwat today paid a visit to 26 2nd Avenue in New York City, where Swami Prabhupada founded the first ISKCON Temple. As part of the visit, he also took part in a food distribution initiative aimed at helping homeless people in the city.
This is the 60th anniversary celebration of ISKCON at 26 2nd Avenue in New York.
A woman trapped in Nepal’s devastating floods was rescued by the Nepal Army. She has lost everything - her home, her family, everything she had. She sits in shock, with fear visible on her face, as if she still cannot believe what has suddenly happened to her.
The Nepal Army deserves immense appreciation for risking their own lives to save people trapped in these dangerous conditions.
The devastation in Nepal is truly heartbreaking. So many lives have been lost, families have been torn apart, and countless people have lost their homes and everything they had. It is heartbreaking to witness the scale of this disaster. 💔
The largest vacuum chamber humans have ever built was welded in Gujarat.
Almost nobody here talks about it.
It's the ITER cryostat:
3,850 tonnes of stainless steel, 29 metres across, walls up to 250 mm thick, made in 54 segments at L&T's Hazira yard and shipped to France in pieces that took 40-odd days each to sail.
It's the thermos that keeps a fusion reactor's magnets ultra-cold, and the vacuum inside it sits about a billion times thinner than the air you're breathing. India didn't supply bolts to that machine.
India built the shell.
Now the weird part.
Fusion stopped being a science project. 56 companies raised $4.48 billion in the year to July 2026, $14.2 billion cumulative. Commonwealth Fusion is now selling its superconducting magnets to rival startups to pay bills, before its own reactor has even switched on. The parts business arrived before the power did.
And that magnet runs on REBCO tape, a superconductor a few microns thick.
Five manufacturers hold over 95% of world supply. None Indian. India's entire private fusion pot is a rounding error next to CFS's $3.94 billion.
We're world-class at the part that's heavy.
The margin sits in the part that's thin and unknown for a lot.
Our crackdown on illegal cattle trade and slaughter is resolute.
Char areas, which are riverine islands in Dhubri are traditional transit routes for such illicit trade and @assampolice is keeping a strict vigil in those areas.
