It may not be possible for us to meet the revised WHO global air quality guidelines, issued five years ago, because of geographical, topographical and meteorological factors. But the fact that even Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities fail to meet India’s own standards should worry everyone.

A section of Chandni Chowk’s more than 160-year-old Town Hall, a Grade-I protected heritage building owned by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD), has collapsed, damaging its facade, first floor, roof, walls of the main entrance porch and the clock mounted above it.

Where in India's human rights commission? Also compromised?
This is horrible.
Heads need to roll at Delhi Police. The policemen responsible for this need to be prosecuted, up and down the chain, and people at the home ministry?
. @mrajshekhar is an exceptional reporter, as witness the ground reporting that resulted in the book Despite The State. He was in Delhi, chronicling the protests, when the police detained him. What happens when the doors of the bus close on the detainees is the theme of this superb essay:

While we battle #heatwave, under a new tender, Delhi govt plans to clear forest land in Central Ridge, carry out excavation & create themed plantations inside a notified forest; last ‘lifeline’ of Delhi.
Well explained by journo Shubhangi Derhgawen⬇️

This is a photograph of Albert Einstein with an unassuming Indian man you probably haven’t heard enough about. He spent his life working on one idea: women should be able to live with dignity and make their own choices. Thread.

Is your hospital playing games with you?
An unconscious patient billed for 52 litres of mineral water. A routine gallbladder surgery that cost nearly double the estimate. Two children who died of dengue, each billed ₹16 lakh, with consumables marked up 1,700%. These aren't anomalies. They are the system and its red flags. In this video, Abantika Ghosh pulls back the curtain on how, in many hospitals, billing has turned into a profit engine where management teams track every piece of equipment used in your surgery to maximise the invoice, where doctors have lost the discretion to protect you even if they want to, where the word "cancer" is deployed like a weapon to shut down questions, and where being insured is not a safety net but a signal to charge more. It's a warning sign for the red flags you need to watch out for.

Dear Hon'ble-Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi ji, you may recall I along with the members of my family, our friend Shri. @SuparnoSatpathy and many others from 'The Open Platform for Netaji' (OPN) had handed over Netaji's cap to you, which you had personally dedicated at the Netaji Museum, Red Fort - Delhi on 23 Jan - Netaji Jayanti (Patriots Day of India) '2019. A member of OPN Adv. Shri. Naveen Bamel had recently visited the said Museum and found Netaji's cap to be missing. No one at ASI could tell where the same was. Netaji is our tallest leader and this is highly embarrassing... Shall be obliged if you could kindly look into this matter. Regards @NaveenBamel3

Why were IIT Kanpur students feeling sleepy even before their first lecture began?
This question has led researchers to examine whether hostel rooms, ventilation, heat and humidity affect how well students sleep.
Prof. Anubha Goel at IIT Kanpur is approaching sleep from an angle rarely explored in India. Not through the lens of medicine or psychology, but through building design and indoor environmental quality, reports @Pallavi_Smart

Of all the newspapers published from Delhi, only the Economic Times has shown the rare courage to call a spade a spade.
Why the Supreme Court relaxation on crackers will choke our lungs.

No Woman Journalist invited to the press conference by Muttaqi. No reference to the horrible plight of Afghan girls and women under Taliban regime in opening remarks of EAM Jaishankar or the joint statement issued after talks with Muttaqi. Muttaqi getting the red carpet welcome in a country where we take pride in women achievers and leaders because of our security concerns. World politics today.

What is even more ridiculous is that the Taliban FM is allowed to bring their abhorrent and illegal discrimination against women to India, as the government hosts the Taliban delegation with full official protocol.
This isn't pragmatism, this is supplication.

I ask Justice Chandrachud why he permitted the survey of the Gyanvapi mosque in Benares, despite the law banning any change in the character of religious structures.
He said because it is "undisputed" that prayers have taken place "through the ages" inside the mosque’s cellar.
This is factually untrue. The mosque trust have consistently *disputed* the claim of prayers in the basement -- in the public domain and in court.
