Groundwater Directorate's 10-yr data as well as CGWB's yearly findings confirm how borewells, unchecked urbanisation have led to water levels steadily falling in India's IT capital.
The toddler, who fell into open borewell at around 1 pm Monday, was taken out at around 9.50 pm same day. Army and National Disaster Response Force personnel made efforts to rescue her.
Child has been rushed to hospital in Nalanda & said to be in stable condition. NDRF official says established communication between child and parents with help of cameras.
Rescuers including SDRF & NDRFW teams are digging a 49-feet pit to reach the child. Teams are continuously supplying oxygen & webcams have also been installed to locate the boy.
It's time to realise that good times of groundwater development are behind us, and with it the dependability on food security and drinking water supply.
Death of 3-yr-old Sujith Wilson who had fallen into a borewell in Tamil Nadu Friday, has once again brought to focus the dangers posed by open & abandoned borewells.
Sujith Wilson fell into a discarded farm borewell while playing near his house in Nadukattupatti Friday evening. Various central, state agencies had been called in to rescue him.
Disenfranchisement by institutional fiat is profoundly undemocratic. The effect of the ECI's new documentary process in Bihar will tilt the scales in favour of the BJP.
Mini deal will likely see no cut in 10% baseline tariff on Indian exports announced by Trump on 2 April, it is learnt, but additional 26% tariffs are set to be reduced.
India-Russia JV is also racing to deliver 7,000 more AK-203 assault rifles by 15 Aug. These are currently being made with 50% indigenisation and this will surge to 100% by 31 December.
Public, loud, upfront, filled with impropriety and high praise sometimes laced with insults. This is what we call Trumplomacy. But the larger objective is the same: American supremacy.
