Yet every Diwali millions of fireworks are let off leaving noticeable drops in air quality for weeks after. Maybe they should look at restrictions?

Dehli air pollution cannot be controlled unless government has nuts to stop the farmer from burning stubble. Everything is going on because politics of vote bank. Nobody is able to stop selfish farmers. Cars and crackers are the bullshits reasons. This is just to hide cowardness of government against the vote bank politics

I see a ocean wave striking a cliff face tunnel entrance blowing air through a 30 meter column of charcoal granules at the back of the cavern up into the air absorbing all chemicals and forcing clean healthful air out the top workings day and night purely on ocean waves…upwind of major population centers. .as many and as big as needed .. cleaning the air continuously.

Maybe Dehli's Mayor, etc., should invest some serious money into something like a massive upgrade of the city's public transport network, to remove thousands upon thousands of cars from its streets, along with the towns, cities and states that surround it. Would go some way to dealing with air pollution

China Sounds Nuclear Alarm Over Japan’s 44-Tonne Plutonium Stockpile | GRAVITAS Highlights

Published

August 26, 2026

WION

China has issued a chilling warning over Japan’s nuclear potential, pointing to Tokyo’s huge stockpile of separated plutonium. Japan held about 44.4 tonnes of separated plutonium at the end of 2025, according to Japanese figures. Beijing says the stockpile gives Japan the technical ability for a rapid nuclear breakout. But Japan remains a non-nuclear-weapon state under the NPT and says its plutonium is for peaceful civilian use.

Pahalgam Terror Attack: Ajit Doval reveals PM Modi’s First Reaction After Pahalgam Attack | Shorts

WION

National Security Advisory (NSA) Ajit Doval has revealed Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s first reaction after the Pahalgam terror attack and said that the PM was determined to go after those who were responsible, irrespective of whether they are on “earth, sky or in hell.” Doval also recalled how the PM cut-short his trip to Saudi Arabia and returned to Delhi after the Pahalgam attack. “As soon as he returned, the Prime Minister held a meeting at the airport itself. First he wanted to know all the facts. Then his first question to me was who has done it? Who is behind it? We should be very clear on who the perpetrators are. I want it immediately,” he said. The Prime Minister’s message was clear, Doval said. “We will go after them. Zameen mein ho, aasman mein ho, paatal mein ho, woh log jahan bhi hai (Whether they are on earth, in the sky or in hell, wherever they are). We will not forgive (them),” he added. The top security official made the comments in the upcoming Discovery docuseries “Declassified: Operation Sindoor”.

New Computational Method ‘Trace’ Finds Ancient DNA Without Fossils | WION Pulse

Published

August 26, 2026

WION

When modern humans first moved out of Africa some 50,000 years ago, they interbred with two much older hominin lineages in Eurasia, the Neanderthals and Denisovans. While those older lineages went extinct, they left some of their DNA in the modern human genome – a discovery made possible by the extraction and sequencing of ancient DNA from Neanderthal and Denisovan fossils.

But researchers also saw hints in the human genome of much earlier interbreeding. Because we have no DNA from other extinct hominins, however, it was challenging to identify their contributions.
