Amid the celebrations, there's one heartbreaking story that deserves our attention.

A student who came to the protest site on 22 July has been missing ever since. His mother has been searching for him for the past three days.

@airtelindia Seems you have not educated your team abt ur plans. I have spoken to 3 agents of airtel and seems no one is aware about this 3000 rs discount plan on 1749 plan (point 7). They were rather shouting on me that I am not using correct airtel site.  Plz call me and help

Seriously is there any remotely optimistic news coming from anywhere with respect to how our country is doing? Inflation crazy high, petrol prices killing us, flight operations coming down and major cancelations by the duopoly, education at disastrous level with NEET cancellation and CBSE mockery, heat killing us because of crazy unplanned contracts & construction while cutting trees, media as always not giving a f**k downplaying 100s dying in cyclones till another country PM tweets about it, dowry deaths still happening at 15 a day, where is the hope? Where is the accountability? Kare kya bhai hum?

#StoryAlert🚨

In a Gujarat port case, the National Green Tribunal, in a REMARKABLY SHOCKING order, copy-pasted page after page, excerpts from the very reports commissioned by the very same port, to finally give a one-paragraph “finding” that the Environment Clearance granted to it was without fault!

From page 5 to page 43 (of the total 44 pages), the order copies and pastes parts of the project proponent’s (the port’s) own Environmental Impact Assessment and other studies it commissioned—the very documents whose findings the appellant had come to the Tribunal to challenge—and then treats those very reproductions as the basis on which to dismiss the very grave questions raised against them, including violation of laws, threat to endangered species, falsities in the studies, and lack of several important studies like impact on local livelihood and climate analysis. The NGT order runs into 44 pages but is absolutely DEVOID of any reasoning!

Then, when challenged in the Supreme Court, a bench of Chief Justice of India Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi declined to set this order aside on May 11 this year. Instead, they chose to send the appellant back to the NGT.

The NGT order violated at least four precedents that have clearly held that the NGT ought to undertake a merits-review of the challenged clearance, defined what “merits-review” is, pressed for detailed reasoning, called reasoning “the heartbeat” of a judgment, and barred it from resting its conclusions on what the project proponent (the port) says.

The most concerning failure of the Supreme Court, however, is that it did not even bother to take judicial note of the conduct that was highlighted before it. Instead, Chief Justice Kant on that day, went on an intemperate rant against “alleged environmentalists and activists”.

During the hearing, Chief Justice Kant stated: “Show us even a single project in this country where these alleged environmentalists and activists say we welcome this project… Everything you drag to the court… In this country, this kind of litigation is filed only to stall all development projects. That is the problem,” and so on.

The Supreme Court’s own failure to engage scientifically with the case when it came before it, and the Chief Justice of India’s intemperate remarks from the Bench against those who have given much of their lives in the service of the environment, coupled with the fact that the NGT failed remarkably to undertake a merits-review of the Environmental Clearance as mandated by law, is a perverse inversion of their appellate duties.

Can an environmental tribunal reproduce the project proponent’s documents as its own findings and call its one-para decision a “judgment”?

The issue of both quality of judgments and discipline, finally, lies in WHO is being appointed to the NGT, keeping in mind the larger ecosystem of questionable appointments across institutions within which those appointments are made. Precedent then holds little significance. Surely, the judicial member on the NGT Bench, former Allahabad High Court judge Justice Dinesh Kumar Singh would be well versed with the plethora of precedents his bench ought to have followed in the case.

किसी शख़्स को इस बात की सज़ा नहीं मिलनी चाहिए कि उसने इंसानियत की ख़ातिर एक मुस्लिम बुजुर्ग की मदद की।
दीपक का जिम आज बंद होने के कगार पर है।
दीपक की सहायता कीजिए मैंने अपनी सैलरी से उन्हें 50 हज़ार की सहायता की है।
आप भी मदद का हाथ बढ़ाइये अच्छे लोगों का हौसला बुलंद रहना चाहिए।

After spending over a month reviewing the @OlaElectric Roadster X, we struggled to find anything good to say about the worst made-in-India bike we have tested! It’s shocking that Ola actually released such a bad product in the market.

Blocked the card as an added security.
