we at @ThePrintIndia were on ground to cover the tragedy that took place in Malviya Nagar, killing 21 people, including foreign nationals, from Bangladesh, Cameroon, Nepal, Liberia among others.
Here are the stories we worked on, to highlight the scale of this tragedy:
🧵🪡
The @WashPost has now laid off its Asia editor, its New Delhi bureau chief, its Sydney bureau chief, its Cairo bureau chief, the entire Middle East reporting team, China correspondents, Iran correspondents, Turkey correspondents, and many more. The world is becoming less America-centric by the minute while the United States is becoming more America-centric than ever. It is just a depressing yet somehow perfect summation of our current moment that one of the most important newspapers in the history of the country - one that has actually shaped the history of the United States - doesn't think reporting on the world is of any use anymore. What an utterly perfect encapsulation of where we have arrived.
At least 8 dead, 11 injured in massive explosion near Delhi’s iconic Red Fort. Authorities are investigating the nature and cause of the explosion.
