The Ganga ghat in Unnao, UP, has dead bodies buried right up till the edge of the river. In 'normal' times, 25 bodies used to come a day for cremation, but now jumped to over 300, claim local residents.

@GaonConnection's ground report by @sumitlive

en.gaonconnection.com/unnao-dead-bod…
As far as the eye can see are shrouds, in shades of red. They mark the makeshift graves of people recently buried. Almost every few yards are unmarked graves. Some partially dug up by dogs.

@GaonConnectionE's ground report from the Ganga ghat in Unnao

“Since the second wave of the mahamari , 300 to 400 dead bodies a day have been arriving at this ghat. Even today, there are nearly 150 bodies waiting for their last rites.”

Titauli village in Rohtak, Haryana had 40 deaths in the past 10 days, said Suresh Singh, a resident. But CMO said only 5 deaths in the village. Similar stories from other villages. Are #COVID19 deaths being underreported, @divendrasingh tries to find out

en.gaonconnection.com/covid19-death-…
“We lost 16 people in a week to ten days. None of them had got themselves tested and all of them had cold and fever. Today, (May 10) a team has come to the village and people are being tested."

How credible is #COVID19 death data?

Jharkhand CM @HemantSorenJMM had requested a moratorium on the auction of coal blocks, but the PM Modi still announced it. Jharkhand has approached the apex court. Now even Chhattisgarh & Maharashtra have raised objections. My report in @GaonConnectionE bit.ly/2YlzpTr
On June 20, Chhattisgarh envt minister wrote to @PrakashJavdekar @moefcc informing the proposed 1,995 sq km in Hasdeo Aranya as Lemru elephant reserve. Destruction of forests due to #coal mining would increase human-elephant. Remove 5 coal blocks from auction @ChhattisgarhCMO
Maharashtra envt minister @AUThackeray has also written to @PrakashJavdekar @moefcc opposing the proposed coal block auction by the Centre, as the mine site is located near Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve in Chandrapur district of the state. (Pic for representation purpose only)

Okay tweeple. There is a party going on at a club near my house with loud music and there is no way I can sleep before midnight. So, here is a thread on some key stories I did in 2019 from various parts of the country. Slow, travel, explore, learn & report - my 2019 in four words
I started the year by writing in Deccan Herald (Jan 12, 2019) about the extreme weather forecast for 2019. As the year draws toward an end, the forecast has come true. Will prove that at the end of this thread.
So far, I had only focused only on the southwest #monsoon. This year, I learnt a bit about the northeast monsoon and reported on it, especially warning of the impacts of a deficient NE monsoon 2018 on southern India and drought scenario. (Jan 30, 2019)

Visited Bellary Fort in Ballari, Karnataka today. Quite a contrast to Hampi as far as conservation is concerned. No sign board for the fort; not even at the main entrance of the fort complex. No toilet at all though I spotted @swachhbharat symbol. Sad state. @ASIGoI
The first look of Bellary Fort built on top of a hill called the "Ballari Gudda" . It has two parts — Upper Fort and the Lower Fort.

Who was to know one had to climb up some 370 huge stairs to reach the fort top 😨. But, managed to climb up and climb down 😀
And, you climb up and up and up. Look at those boulders 😱. And how well they are placed.

#Hampi is an experience, hard to describe in words or through pictures. But, can’t help sharing what I did today. Walked through the magnificent history of Vijayanagara Samrajya (1336-1646). EACH stone of Hampi is a story in itself.

#Thread

1. Stone Chariot, Vitthala Temple.
2. Absolutely stunning single-stone carved structures. And, these are giant.

Here, single stone carved doors (with locking system), which used to be at the entrance of the Royal Enclosure in #Hampi.
Single stone 22 feet tall Laxmi Narsimha idol at #Hampi. Originally, Laxmi idol was sitting on its left side. See second pic. That is how it was supposed to be.
