Glacial burst wrecks havoc on its downhill path Sumesh Rajan Mumbai: 7 February 2021 A glacial burst in Chamoli district of Uttarakhand state in India on February 7 has caused massive havoc on its downhill path along the Dhauliganga and Rishiganga rivers. The disaster occured after a portion of the Nanda Devi glacier broke off in Tapovan area of Joshimath in Uttarakhand. The Tapovan power plant being constructed over the Dhauligana river and the Rishiganga power project across the Rishiganga river -- a tributary of Dhauliganga -- have been damaged completely with sludge overwhelming the projects, say local officials. Over 150 people are said to have lost their lives in this disaster and scores are missing. Ten bodies have been recovered so far from the National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) power project site at Tapovan, said the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) officials.

Mumbai: 17 May 2018
The leopard, a female, had been hit by an unidentified speeding vehicle on the Chandrapur-Mul Road in Lohara forest on May 14 evening.
“We received the information about this around 6.15 pm. Our Eco Pro volunteers along with the forest department officials rushed to the site. However, due to sunset and ensuing darkness, we couldn’t find the wildcat, and the search and rescue operation had to be suspended. The next day early morning, the search operation was resumed, and after several hours of search in the forest, the injured leopard was tracked to a spot underneath thick shrubs at around 8.30 am. It was badly injured in the accident and both its hind leg was run over, and bones were broken,” said Bandu Dhotre, Honorary Wildlife Warden – Chandrapur, and Founder President of Eco Pro, and environment and wildlife protection NGO.
Rescue workers comprising teams from Chandrapur Range, Forest Development Corporation of Maharashtra - Lohara Range, Rapid Response Unit, besides volunteers of NGO Eco-Pro surrounded the wounded animal. In an effort to capture it, the rescuers were trying to trap the leopard in a net after shooting a tranquilizer dart at it. However, the animal did not get sedated completely, and suddenly charged at Chandrapur Range Forest Officer Santosh Thipe, who was leading his team from one side.
A video shot by one of the volunteers accompanying the rescue team shows RFO Thipe calmly tackling the wildcat with just a shield and baton, while the others shouting to distract the leopard.
After the charge on Thipe, rescue workers took no further chances and shot another tranquilizer dart at the animal, successfully sedating it this time. It was then taken to the Transit Treatment Centre at Chandrapur for primary treatment and later shifted to Gorewada Zoo and Wildlife Rescue Centre at Nagpur. Dr. Kundan Podchalwar the veterinarian who provided the primary treatment to the leopard said that the leopard has been left with a fractured femur in the right hind limb.
The true test will come when I tell them the white on the outside of the meat is a natural edible mold called Penicillim. If they keep eating despite this then I know we have an undisputed winner.

And they returned from searching of the land after forty days. And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto all the congregation, and shewed them the fruit of the land. And they told him, and said, We came unto the land whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it.
