Credit where it is due: Punjab government has reduced farm fires by 92% in past 5 years. This is a true success story. Other state governments must follow Punjab’s lead.

People of Delhi should also remember that farm fires only contribute to pollution for a short period of time—Delhi is highly polluted THROUGHOUT the year! We need governments at all levels to act locally now!

Why is it that we somehow never manage to give our cricket icons a chance to finish in style! The only modern great who got the chance to go well was Sachin. Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman just quietly left after that 2012 tour of Australia. Then Ashwin in Australia. And now Rohit and Virat, two of India's most successful test captains, who have together led India to 52 test wins will just vanish into the sunset without a final game for their fans to say goodbye.
It's a tragedy!

For now, they return to Khan Yunis, clinging to the hope of rebuilding their home. But Sanad doesn’t know how that will happen. There is no money, no manpower, no resources, no help. Even finding a meal each day is a struggle.

Under the blue skies of Gaza lie endless stretches of grey–a graveyard of once-loved homes. Rubble from one building blends into the next, making it impossible to tell where one ends and another begins.

Sanad Osama Al-Qadi is one of ten in his family. He once lived in a happy home with his father, two brothers, sister, and their families. Life was normal then—he spent his days studying, dreaming of becoming a pharmacist one day.

Tax authorities have revoked our non-profit status, claiming journalism does not serve any public purpose and therefore cannot be carried out as a non-profit exercise. It severely impairs our ability to do journalism. Our statement: https://t.co/79tTEVW8UR

A story about a young tour guide from Syria who just wants to show his beautiful country to the world. For years, he has driven through apocalyptic landscapes, just to showcase the few places left untouched by war. "It was dark tourism," he says. But now, there is hope.

It was after almost a decade that the young tour guide from #Damascus, Ayoub Alsmadi, could finally see light at the end of the tunnel.

In a rush to widen roads, the @UPGovt's PW Dept is presently demolishing an alleged 'unauthorised' part of the 180-year-old Noori Jama Masjid in #Fatehpur, even as a petition challenging the demolition is still pending in the #AllahabadHighCourt.

🧵: In UP bypolls, BJP swept Muslim dominated Kundarki. On polling day, videos of cops barricading polling stations had gone viral.

Data shows there is something really fishy.

2 booths, with over 1.8k muslim voters, clocked 0 turnout. In past, they had recorded 80% turnout.

[Zaina Azhar Sayeda @Zaina_Azhar]

@omar7rashid Kundarki results are unbelievable

[Zaina Azhar Sayeda @Zaina_Azhar]

Sounds about right 🥲
