Three days ago, a massive banyan tree was brutally pruned right outside the SDM Office in Hiranagar, killing hundreds of bird chicks. Active nests were destroyed without any wildlife clearance. Responsible authorities are sleeping. @PetaIndia @DCKathua @OfficeOfLGJandK@moefcc
Resident #doctors at several government hospitals in #Delhi refused to end their strike on Wednesday, going against the decision taken by a national body of medicos spearheading the protest against the rape and murder of a junior doctor at a State-run hospital in #Kolkata, @ButaniAshna reports.
This is the corner just outside my home in Lutyens’ Delhi. Woke up to find my entire home under a foot of water — every room. Carpets and furniture, indeed anything on the ground, ruined. Apparently the storm water drains in the neighbourhood are all clogged so the water had no place to go. And they switched off the electricity since 6 am for fear of electrocuting people. Warned my Parliament colleagues that I might not make it there without a boat. But the city managed to pump water out of the roads and I did arrive in time!
