On paper, India has one of the most liberal abortion laws in the world. Yet, 2/3rds of all abortions in India are unsafe and close to 8 women die everyday of related causes. I try to make sense of this paradox in my first article for @newlinesmag

Every single morning, Ramaiah university @MSRUAS starts polluting the environment. Thick black fumes released starting at 7.30 am. Heavy odors causing cough and other health issues. This is the fresh air Mathikere residents experience.

[Sohel @SohelS28]

@krishnabgowda please help

[aciDiti @ogrgvn]

@MSRUAS @karnatakakspcb Again black fumes are being dispersed in the area , at 11.30 am from Ramaiah campus without a care for Mathikere residents welfare or health. years and months and weeks of this. @krishnabgowda Please help address this sir. People are being affected.

[aciDiti @ogrgvn]

@MSRUAS a taller utility exhaust stack recently installed does NOT solve the issue. The odor and emissions still remain. Dispersing emissions higher is not a solution. Please address this. @karnatakakspcb @gba_office #Bengaluru #Polllution #Mathikere

"Infrastructure is never just about movement from point A to B; it is about symbolic projects and everyday negotiations that render who count as rightful urban subjects and those who are cast as unruly."

BREAKING:

In a damning new report, Francesca Albanese accuses 60 companies of enabling apartheid, ethnic cleansing, and the mass murder of Palestinians — all for profit:

“Israel’s genocide in Gaza continues because it is lucrative for many.”

[Mohammed Zubair @zoo_bear]

Lynching Muslims in the name of 'Cow Protection' is so normalised that there is hardly any outrage on such incidents. Forget News Channels and Prime Time debates, There's hardly anyone from the opposition talking about it.

[Barry Malone @malonebarry]

Al Jazeera has published the names of every journalist killed since Oct 7th.

231 Palestinian journalists have been slaughtered in Gaza. A whole generation of reporters wiped out while many of their colleagues in the West simply shrugged.

[shaheenabdulla @shaheenjournal]

#Updated: Rohingyas, who fled genocide, were detained by India and dumped in the sea near Myanmar’s Tanintharyi region. They’ve washed ashore once again on the very land that kills their people.

Despite severe financial constraints, @MaktoobMedia has continued to do the thankless and exhausting work of documenting incidents of hate crimes and speeches, everyday discrimination and dehumanisation of Muslims and other minority groups in India for the past decade. While doing so, they've also platformed perspectives and voices from the marginalised communities providing the nuance and depth on issues that most successful platforms either completely ignored or didn't give enough importance. Maktoob is one of the most important independent media platforms of our times. The censorship of Maktoob by the government is deplorable and must be condemned by all. In solidarity.

Dear Readers of The Wire In a clear violation of the Constitutional guarantee of freedom of the press, the Government of India has blocked access to https://t.co/BCdnZhucBj across India. +

Official data shows that 2.1 million Indians died due to Covid in 2021. And the maximum underreportage of Covid deaths was from Gujarat, to a factor of 35.

[Sarayu Pani @sarayupani]

Another veteran Kashmiri journalist’s account silenced.

By silencing credible and experienced journalists and also restricting official information, the government is just creating space of off the charts misinformation.

"Who planted terrorism in our area? Some came and took our land, forced us to leave, forced us to live in camps. I think this is terrorism. Using means to resist this terrorism and stop its effects - this is called struggle."
