A new irrigation project threatens to displace both cheetahs and humans in Kuno (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In April, an Indian-born cheetah, KP-2, walked several hundred kilometres from Kuno National Park in Madhya Pradesh to Rajasthan’s Ranthambore National Park. KP-2’s mother, Asha, was one of eight cheetahs brought to Kuno from Namibia in September 2022, as a part of India’s cheetah reintroduction project. Today, there are a total of 48 cheetahs in the country, including 28 Indian-born cubs – most of them, however, remain in enclosures in Kuno. Three are roaming free in Gandhi Sagar Wildlife Sanct

On August 26, Samar Bezbaruah was preparing for a regular day. He had left his home in Assam’s Nalbari district seven months earlier to work in Nepal’s 216-MW Upper Trishuli-1 hydropower project. That morning, he walked into the project’s tunnel with a group of 20 others to begin the day’s work. At around 9.15 am, from within the tunnel, the group saw a colossal mass of water slam into the powerhouse of the project, which was situated in the river valley below them, and in which some colleagues
Nepal: Warming may have induced glacial floods, but the damage downstream is manmade (opens the original)

I went about my day thinking that these were usual Himalayan tectonic activities. But soon, videos of a mammoth wave of water, silt and debris crashing down Nepal’s Bothe Koshi river near the Nepal-Tibet border overtook my X feed. More

Read excerpt
June had come and gone. It was almost the end of July. But Babul Bora of eastern Assam’s Golaghat district was still waiting for rains to sow paddy. This was unusual. Monsoon typically arrives in Assam in the first week of June. Between mid-June and mid-July, farmers across the region get busy in sowing and transplanting paddy. “Khorang asile,” Bora told Scroll. “There was a drought.” The 56-year old cultivator from Balidowa village in Pachim Brahmaputra panchayat saw cracks appear in his fields
NHPC knew of risks at Sikkim tunnel before deadly July blast, documents show (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In the afternoon of July 20, a blast resounded through a tunnel being constructed in Sikkim’s Namchi district. Workers said that the force of the blast threw them around two metres, and that almost immediately, they could smell gas. The explosion took place in the head-race tunnel of the 500-MW Teesta VI hydropower project being constructed by NHPC, a public enterprise. Such tunnels are the main channels that route water from a river, and lead it to turbines to generate power, before channeling
