Mountains, wildflower pastures, waterfalls, verdant slopes - amid all this natural beauty, plastic waste and other garbage is literally killing the rich Himalayan ecosystem.
This crime against nature is being committed near Kedarnath in Uttarakhand, as per news agency ANI. Devotees are currently rushing to the hill state for the Char Dham Yatra.
Experts are calling for more sensitivity among tourists and pilgrims, citing the 2013 flood disaster in Kedarnath. Prof MS Negi, HoD - Geography at Garhwal Central University said, "Plastic waste at a sensitive location like Kedarnath doesn't only have an impact on faith, but also on safety. Plastic will lead to quick erosion after rains. Quick erosion leads to big landslides. Therefore, it is very dangerous. Secondly, a source of faith should be kept clean. When plastic garbage covers religious places, then national and international tourists and pilgrims will be affected."
Prof MC Nautiyal, director of HAPPRC at the university told ANI, "Tourism pressure on Kedarnath, Badrinath etc has increased a lot. If tourist pressure increases, then throughout the route, plastic and other types of garbage builds up. It can be taken to deeper forest areas by natural elements. There aren't any proper sanitation facilities there. That's why waste usually ends up in nature."

Amid reports that the Narendra Modi government had ordered excavation at the Qutub Minar complex in Delhi, Union culture minister issued a clarification. G. Kishan Reddy told reporters that the government had taken no such decision, and the Archaeological Survey of India, or ASI has been given no such task.

Shruti Haasan impresses London audiences at sold out music show. She set the stage on fire with her zestful rock infused performance at London’s most iconic live music venue, The Troubadour.

A controversial Indian figure is part of the TIME magazine's 100 most influential people of 2022. Khurram Parvez, who is currently in jail on terror funding allegations, is part of the prestigious list.
Parvez, a Kashmiri activist, was arrested from Srinagar in November 2021 by the National Investigation Agency. In March this year, an NIA court extended his custody by 50 days.
Parvez is associated with the Jammu Kashmir Coalition of Civil Society, and is also the chairperson of the Asian Federation Against Involuntary Disappearances. In 2016, Parvez had been detained under the Public Safety Act, or PSA, and spent 76 days in prison.
Parvez's description in the TIME magazine was written by Rana Ayyub. The caption read, "He had to be silenced, for his was a voice that resounded around the globe for his fierce fight against human-rights violations and injustices in the Kashmir region.

As Delhi is facing a heatwave for the past 2-3 weeks, a Delhi auto driver has come up with an innovative idea and has taken an environmental-friendly move by converting his auto rooftop into a little garden.
Mahendra Kumar is an auto driver who is driving an auto-rickshaw for the past 3 decades. In order to avoid the heatwave, Kumar decided to grow some plants on the rooftop of his auto which helps him and as well as the passengers stay cool in the vehicle. Plants on his vehicle's rooftop protect passengers from the direct sunlight. So far, Kumar’s garden has almost 25 types of plants, such as tomatoes, okra, snake gourd, and spinach.
Kumar has not recently implemented this idea instead he had implemented this in 2020 itself, he told Reuters 'I thought that this will provide a cooling effect during summer so that is why I grew plants on it.' People are also appreciating Kumar's creative and conservative move and liking the ride.
