New: Adani Group sweeps all coal power tenders from states governed by BJP. Set to earn more than Rs 13.27 lakh crore over 25 years.
In some cases the tenders were tailored. The group gained an edge.

Hello PM @narendramodi, This is your Minority leader doing press conference and openly asking 120 crore Hindus to boycott Indian Muslims in Private Jobs and Govt jobs. Not one News Channel stopped her and called her out for spreading hate. That's how normalised it is to spread hate in India. Not just right wing associations, but BJP is openly giving out a press statement asking Hindus to economically and socially boycott Muslims and the media isn't bothered, instead, they are happy to amplify her.

Three months of reporting, finally out.
"Babydoll Archi" had 1.4M followers, profiled by media. She was not real. The real woman didn't know. The man arrested was a customer of a much larger machine.
We mapped it. With support from @pulitzercenter decodeinternet.in/life/inves…

🚨Modi govt dropped the anti-monopoly clause for India’s largest grain silo programme.
What next?
ADANI won another battlefield.
This time, nearly half of a Rs 20,000 crore programme.
Here’s how thousands of crores of public money flowed straight into one corporate pocket.

🚨 Delhi’s toxic air isn’t just choking people. It’s cutting pregnancies short.
Nearly 1 in 8 babies in Delhi are now born premature.
In just 5 years, the preterm birth rate has shot up by 21%.
Doctors are increasingly linking it to toxic air pollution. Behind the smog are babies in NICUs, mothers struggling through pregnancy, and a public health crisis hiding in plain sight.

REPORTAGE: 2.5 months into the Iran war, India’s LPG market is splitting into parallel economies. In parts of the country, gas cylinders are available as before. Elsewhere, LPG prices have soared so high families are falling back on firewood. Here is why. carboncopy.info/the-great-lp…

Thank you to @Article14live for giving space to such stories. I also published about the fake cases and harassment of activists in Tijimali @MaktoobMedia
Both are important platforms currently and need all the support and subscription.

Had pitched a story in. Media house didn't think it was impactful or urgent enough. These are irrigation canals across jammu that have become dumpsites. Full of plastic waste. The water irrigates the food we eat.
It stays a blame game bn irrigation dept n Pollution board.

This is the situation across Jammu. No civic sense or responsibility by the govt. Then we talk about development & jobs. Why would anyone want to live here @OmarAbdullah sir?
This video is from a 200m stretch of the Anand Nagar-Tomal road within @jmcjammu limits.

#Assam's delimitation has changed the shape of electoral boundaries. Here are some maps of - Mangaldoi, Gauripur, Golpara East, Abhayapuri. These boundaries split roads, rivers, mountains. Mangaldoi is not even spatially connected. Why doesn't #ECI publish delimitation maps?

NDTV's new management sent a directive to its anchors: ditch the kurta, look sharp. At least one woman journalist was told to lose weight. Another was cautioned that age is not on her side.

The state may have kept Prof. Hany Babu behind bars for nearly 6 years and his bail conditions now confine him to Mumbai.
Yet his students' love for their beloved teacher remain as strong as ever. Today, a rose was quietly left outside his office at DU.
Happy Valentine's Day :)
