How an under secretary working with Manipur government & her son were killed by Meitei mobs in Imphal West. Her daughter, an eye witness to the murders, tells me the story of a great escape thanks to two Meitei men and graver tragedy.

CAG report on Delhi's air pollution monitors confirms what @newslaundry found 2 months ago: that 9 out of 10 monitors are covered with trees, buldgs in close proximity, thereby skewing pollution readings

🚨It's no secret that ANI is pro-Modi. But do you know it can cover any event or political leader for money? ANI has signed paid promotion contracts with 7 state govts. Under this, it covers CMs 24*7. Result is propaganda. ANI's biz partner is Reuters.

Why have tribal journalists quit Imphal based media houses? How has local media covered the Manipur conflict? Why are Meiteis wining the perception war in the media? Why have some media houses taken down reports? Do read.

With the epicentre of the #ManipurViolence shifting to the foothills and hilly regions of Manipur, a perception battle is being fought in the local media, deepening the divide between the hills and the valley. @shivnarayan01 reports. newslaundry.com/2023/06/09/a-p…

In 8 days, I clocked 600 km on my bike and covered length, breadth of Delhi. At each station, I measured its distance from nearby trees, obstruction with the tape. Here are visuals of some stations

Replying to @shivnarayan01
CPCB guidelines say no trees within 20 metres of station; distance of an obstruction (eg building) from station should be twice the height of obstacle from sampler; and station should be away from pollution source. Most stations blatantly violate norms.

V-P Dhankhar now swears by RSS's 'unimpeachable credentials' and defends it in Parliament. 30 yrs ago, he tore into RSS for its "extremism" and wondered if it should exist in parliamentary democracy. Last yr, I wrote a piece on his political journey. tinyurl.com/3xfu7n9n

🚨🚨🚨 Railways gave ex-gratia in cash to Delhi stampede victims. Total was around Rs2 cr. But 2023 rules say only Rs50K could be given in cash. But Rs 10 lakh to kin of each dead? That’s unusual. For @newslaundry with Drishti and @TweetSumedha tinyurl.com/23vearn5
