Navneet was a remarkable human, an immensely passionate professional, and forever full of positive energy. This is unbelievable.

Navneet 💔💔💔

Stunned and shocked, so bloody unbelievable. He was just 23!!!!!!

Just another day, just another reason you should always have a dashcam installed in your car. My colleague @Aish_1018 and her family members were injured in Gurugram when a speeding car on the wrong side hit their vehicle. The driver was allegedly in a drunk state. @gurgaonpolice

First sighting of Hyena in recent times, in Bijrani Zone of #CorbettTigerReserve.
The Bijrani zone opened today for the tourists, after several months of routine closer due to monsoon.
Welcome to #Corbett. Welcome to #Uttarakhand.

#WATCH | A suspected laboratory incident in Siberia has raised questions after a young scientist reportedly developed severe pneumonia and died days after a reported accident involving a test tube containing live bacteria. Nearly 200 people were reportedly placed under medical observation, while hospitals faced restrictions, public events were cancelled and a criminal investigation was opened. Russia’s public health agency has described the illness as “pneumonia of unknown origin,” rather than plague. The Brief examines what is known and what isn't so far about the Irkutsk incident, why plague research continues in Siberia, Russia’s history of lab accidents, and the ancient history connected to the region. Watch the full video for more.

It’s been less than a month since I joined @htTweets immersive desk and we have churned out four interactives (not bad), made with lot of love and care. We are constantly trying to evolve and integrate best storytelling techniques, so if you have any suggestions, let us know!

Breaking - what exactly did ECs Joshi and Sandhu say in their letter to cabinet secretary and what happened after that? The officer they complained about Maneesh Garg's meetings with the ECs and much more - in my story here https://t.co/vPYu4Oc4Hb

There's fascinating science to traffic jams. Not that it helps much in a city of hare-brained planners and kamikaze drivers that's Delhi. Do check out the simulations of some fundamental studies in this story.

7/ Going forward, you'll also see more video explainers with our correspondents on camera. Basically: more reporting from the ground, more explaining in depth, and more of our journalists' voices on every platform where you find us. Stay tuned.

3/ Immersives are for stories that need space and shape. A minute-by-minute account aboard flydubai FZ1073:

6/ We were never short of ideas in the newsroom. We just needed to think about complex issues in simple terms, and in information design and code, all at the same time.

[Nisheeth Upadhyay @Nisheeth_U]

2/ SimplyPut is for the reader and viewer who has seen breathless headlines on a topic a few times and still doesn't know exactly what's going on. In about two months, it's become the section with the highest average engagement time on our site.

1/ We recently ran an immersive story, or what some call "scrollytelling", on the glacier collapse in Nepal that set off deadly floods. It's the best way to explain why we started SimplyPut, our explainers section, and an immersives IP at HT. Thread:

The HT Auto Leaderboard Awards brought together automotive leaders, technology experts, policymakers and industry voices to debate the trends shaping India's mobility landscape. @nitin_gadkari, Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways, was the Chief Guest. Some thoughts:

[Nisheeth Upadhyay @Nisheeth_U]

Union Minister for Road Transport & Highways @nitin_gadkari was at the Hindustan Times Auto Leaderboard Awards as the Chief Guest. His key message? “My dream is to make India’s industry No. 1 in the world... Currently, No. 1 is the US, and second is China. India is the third.”
