Over two decades - it's a very long wait for decent housing. I've been following #KannapparThidal story since Sept 2022. Will keep this tweet thread active with updates until the families get a home (1/n)

#MediaEthics #ConsentMatters

[Dilip Srinivasan @dilipsrinivasan]

@toi_Arunram FYI Revealing my identity with a photo taken and published without my #consent is a serious offense. Carrying it on Pg1 national edition? This isn't journalism, it's intimidation. I demand accountability.
@omjasvinMD @timesofindia

[Dilip Srinivasan @dilipsrinivasan]

Yes, I was assaulted for questioning moral policing.
But, @omjasvinMD, publishing my photo without consent (despite my removal request) violates journalistic ethics & risks my safety.
FYI: I'm not a techie.

Pallavaram Periya Eri began deteriorating around 1997 when municipal authorities started dumping waste at its southern end. After years of deliberation, the NGT ordered the complete biomining and remediation of the legacy waste. However, implementation delays, worsened by the COVID-19 pandemic, meant that the contractor abandoned the project midway without clearing the waste. Frequent transfers of officials and shifting political priorities hindered progress. In 2023, the NGT closed the case. The court’s directions remained largely unimplemented.

I'm sure you've heard of notorious tiger poachers, but how about notorious worm poachers? I hope my latest for the BBC takes you deep down this wormhole--of how tribal women are fighting to protect their lives and livelihoods from sheer human greed.
