#GLOF in #Bhutan led to #flood alert in #WestBengal & #Assam. So far 12000 people have been evacuated in India. Before the #outburst, #SintaphuLake was estimated to contain 6 to 7 million cubic metres of water, equivalent to appropriately 2,400–2,800 Olympic-sized swimming pools.

A high-level Indian delegation participated in the FATF Plenary and Working Group meetings in Paris from 26 to 30 October 2026. Shri Vivek Agrawal, Secretary (Culture) participated in the proceedings in his capacity as Vice-President of FATF.
The Indian delegation was led by Ms. Neetu Prasad, Additional Secretary, Department of Revenue, and comprised senior representatives from the Ministry of External Affairs, RBI, FIU, NIA, NSCS and other relevant agencies.

You read it first in @NewIndianXpress.
On Feb 18, 2023, I exposed poachers’ movements and local arms availability around Project #Cheetah. The government promised a firearm surrender drive. Now, with the first cheetah killed, who will be held accountable for ignoring the warning?
The Union Government is concerned about the death of a 19-month-old male Cheetah (KNG22) in Kuno National Park, Madhya Pradesh, from firearm pellet injuries.
In response, the Centre has sent a high-level team to investigate the incident, highlighting the importance of Project Cheetah and the need for strong protection of the reintroduced Big Cat population.

A lively meeting of minds at yesterday’s jury deliberations for The @NewIndianXpress’s RamNath Goenka Sahitya Samman 2026. A pleasure to chair a spirited exchange with fellow jurors on books, ideas and the remarkable diversity of Indian writing. The difficult part, of course, is choosing among them, but we managed to achieve consensus without any volumes being flung!
