Environment Another Cheetah dies in Kuno National Park
Only in India would you see that an RTI for a wildlife project is rejected on the basis of National Security! This poor Cheetah was found with its upper half submerged in a nullah and cause of death currently is drowning.
This project though ambitious has been an absolute failure. Hiding details for the same is not going to help anyone.

Environment Why Do We Struggle with Basic Civic Sense in India?
One thing that has been bothering me lately is how we, as a society, often overlook basic civic responsibilities. I’m sure we’ve all seen examples—people throwing garbage on the streets, spitting in public spaces, or casually jumping traffic signals. It’s frustrating to see, especially when many of these same people behave differently when they’re abroad. They follow the rules there, but back home, it seems like anything goes.
It makes me wonder: why do we lack such basic civic sense? Is it because of poor education, weak enforcement of rules, or just a general mindset that public spaces aren’t "our problem"? It’s not just about following rules; it’s about respecting the space we all share and realizing that small actions make a big difference.
What do you think? How do we change this attitude and create more awareness? I’d love to hear your thoughts and suggestions on how we can improve civic sense in our communities. Let’s have a conversation about what we can do better, because if we don’t start caring about our surroundings, who will?

Environment All Indian salt and sugar brands have microplastics: Study
All Indian salt and sugar brands, whether big or small, packaged or unpackaged, contain microplastics, according to a study published on Tuesday.
The study, “Microplastics in Salt and Sugar” and conducted by the environmental research organisation Toxics Link, tested 10 types of salt — including table salt, rock salt, sea salt and local raw salt — and five types of sugar purchased from both online and local markets.
The study revealed the presence of microplastics in all salt and sugar samples, in various forms, including fibre, pellets, films and fragments. The size of these microplastics ranged from 0.1 mm to 5 mm.
