“It was a day exactly like today’s… The sun was bright, though not too hot,” says Narinder Singh Rathore, talking about May 25, 2025. His two granddaughters sat in the verandah of their pucca house as his wife put out to dry freshly washed linen from the small homestay they ran. “Suddenly, crate walls laid by the NHAI in a bid to protect the slope just above our apple orchard started falling. In a few seconds, a cloud of dust had engulfed the entire valley… People far away could see it,” says Rathore. Soon after, he filed a case in the National Green Tribunal (NGT), seeking compensation from the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) for the 440-odd apple trees he said he lost in the landslide. He sought compensation under provisions of the Environment (Protection) Act, alleging large-scale environmental degradation and damage to his agricultural and orchard land. The NHAI, which earlier disputed the damage quoted by Rathore and called the landslide an act of God, has now told the NGT that it would …

BRS government’s policies resulted in long-term damage for state: Kavitha

BRS government’s policies resulted in long-term damage for state: Kavitha

Published by Parlour News

Telangana Rakshana Sena president Kalvakuntla Kavitha on Saturday accused the previous Bharat Rashtra Samithi government, led by her father K Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR), of causing long-term damage to the state through its policies. BRS government’s policies resulted in long-term damage for state: Kavitha Addressing a “Meet the Press” event in Hyderabad, Kavitha alleged that improper utilisation of Krishna and Godavari river waters during the BRS regime resulted in a ₹2.5 lakh crore loss for farmers. “The BRS government had spent ₹1.21 lakh crore on irrigation during its 1—year tenure, but it could provide water to only one lakh acres,” she said. On unemployment, she questioned repeated examination paper leaks during the BRS regime. “Why did such lapses occur despite having a capable minister like KT Rama Rao at the helm of affairs? These failures adversely affected two generations of youth, many of whom lost crucial career opportunities,” she said. Answering a question, Kavitha said her differences with her father KCR were strictly political. “I have no issues with my family but I clearly maintain an …

Twin earthquakes hit Jammu and Kashmir`s Doda; no damage reported

Twin earthquakes hit Jammu and Kashmir`s Doda; no damage reported

Published by Webster

Two earthquakes struck the Jammu and Kashmir district of Doda in the early hours of Sunday, triggering tremors across the region. The first earthquake, measuring 4.6 on the Richter scale, was recorded at around 4:22 a.m. at a depth of 10 km.  Shortly after, a second tremor of 3.0 magnitude occurred at approximately 4:37 a.m., with its epicentre located at latitude 33.090°N and longitude 75.928°E, also at a depth of 10 km. Doda lies in the seismically sensitive Himalayan belt, where frequent low-intensity earthquakes are common due to the ongoing convergence of tectonic plates.  As a result, such tremors are regularly recorded in the region and typically do not lead to significant damage or strong ground shaking. Neighbouring areas, including Kishtwar and Bhaderwah, are also prone to similar seismic activity, although most incidents remain minor in nature and have limited impact. Experts attribute the region`s vulnerability to the continuous collision between the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates, making the entire Himalayan arc one of the most earthquake-prone zones in the world. This includes regions spanning …
