Amritdhara Waterfall in Manendragarh Chirmiri Bharatpur, Chhattisgarh 🌳🌊🌳🇮🇳

I travelled through Great Nicobar today. These are the most extraordinary forests I have ever seen in my life. Trees older than memory. Forests that took generations to grow. The people on this island are equally beautiful - both the adivasi communities and the settlers - but they are being robbed of what is rightfully theirs. The government calls what it is doing here a “Project.” What I have seen is not a project. It is millions of trees marked for the axe. It is 160 square kilometres of rainforest condemned to die. It is communities that have been ignored while their homes have been snatched away. This is not development. This is destruction dressed in development’s language. So I will say it plainly, and I will keep saying it: what is being done in Great Nicobar is one of the biggest scams and gravest crimes against this country’s natural and tribal heritage in our lifetime. It must be stopped. And it can be stopped - if Indians choose to see what I have seen.

"शिवाजी महाराज की लंबाई महज़ 4.5 फ़ीट थी। ऐसे में, 6 फ़ीट लंबे अक्षय कुमार द्वारा उनकी भूमिका निभाने का क्या तुक है?" - NCP SP विधायक जितेंद्र आव्हाड, 2024 में। इसी तर्क के आधार पर, क्या MVA समर्थकों को 5'11" लंबे रितेश देशमुख को स्वीकार कर लेना चाहिए?

In Budhana, Muzaffarnagar, a shocking video has surfaced where two reckless individuals climbed nearly 200 feet up a village drinking water tank and turned it into a swimming pool. Such irresponsible behavior is not just dangerous for them, but also a serious threat to public health. Contaminating a drinking water source can put the entire village at risk of falling sick. Strict action must be taken against such acts to ensure the safety and hygiene of the community.
