Three months of reporting, finally out.

"Babydoll Archi" had 1.4M followers, profiled by media. She was not real. The real woman didn't know. The man arrested was a customer of a much larger machine.

We mapped it. With support from @pulitzercenter https://t.co/OYnkj4otJR

🚨Modi govt dropped the anti-monopoly clause for India’s largest grain silo programme.

What next?

ADANI won another battlefield.
This time, nearly half of a Rs 20,000 crore programme.

Here’s how thousands of crores of public money flowed straight into one corporate pocket.

The Union Ministry of Environment emailed us eight hours after we published Part 1 of my investigation on Odisha’s lust for bauxite. I stand by my investigation.

Read our our response to the @moefcc below.

[Ayushi Kar @ayushikar1998]

A prime minister led panel to protect wildlife sanctuaries worked with the Odisha government to remove dense forests from a wildlife sanctuary to open up bauxite mining.

🚨 Delhi’s toxic air isn’t just choking people. It’s cutting pregnancies short.

Nearly 1 in 8 babies in Delhi are now born premature.

In just 5 years, the preterm birth rate has shot up by 21%.

Doctors are increasingly linking it to toxic air pollution. Behind the smog are babies in NICUs, mothers struggling through pregnancy, and a public health crisis hiding in plain sight.

REPORTAGE: 2.5 months into the Iran war, India’s LPG market is splitting into parallel economies. In parts of the country, gas cylinders are available as before. Elsewhere, LPG prices have soared so high families are falling back on firewood. Here is why. https://t.co/0w98KfyDIq

Had pitched a story in. Media house didn't think it was impactful or urgent enough. These are irrigation canals across jammu that have become dumpsites. Full of plastic waste. The water irrigates the food we eat.
It stays a blame game bn irrigation dept n Pollution board.

[Anmol @anmol_047]

This is the situation across Jammu. No civic sense or responsibility by the govt. Then we talk about development & jobs. Why would anyone want to live here @OmarAbdullah sir?
This video is from a 200m stretch of the Anand Nagar-Tomal road within @jmcjammu limits.

#Assam's delimitation has changed the shape of electoral boundaries. Here are some maps of - Mangaldoi, Gauripur, Golpara East, Abhayapuri. These boundaries split roads, rivers, mountains. Mangaldoi is not even spatially connected. Why doesn't #ECI publish delimitation maps?

[the reporters' collective @reporters_co]

Exclusive: Months before polls, Assam signs deal to pay Adani group for 3,200 MW coal power whether it is used or not. Potential payout for excess electricity pegged at Rs 12,500+ crore over 5 years.

Himachal Pradesh has India’s highest youth unemployment. The government’s solution? Temporary, low-paying outsourced jobs with no security.

NDTV's new management sent a directive to its anchors: ditch the kurta, look sharp. At least one woman journalist was told to lose weight. Another was cautioned that age is not on her side.

The state may have kept Prof. Hany Babu behind bars for nearly 6 years and his bail conditions now confine him to Mumbai.
Yet his students' love for their beloved teacher remain as strong as ever. Today, a rose was quietly left outside his office at DU.
Happy Valentine's Day :)

Ravi Nair’s conviction is nothing to celebrate, even for his detractors. The misuse of criminal defamation poses a real threat to everyone, especially journalists.

What was the case about? What were his tweets? What did the judge say? Read the story.

With the air pollution season wrapped up, everyone will soon get on heat bandwagon. But as reporters, how can we go beyond the routine seasonal reporting and push the conversation forward? Please attend this session

Ground Report

Statutory powers of designated local election officers were dissolved. Veto over voter’s inclusion was handed over to ‘observers’ - officers handpicked by ECI.

In this report I try to piece together ECI’s entire exercise of impunity in West Bengal
