Delhi's Green Diwali Goes Up in Smoke, Spotlight on Nitish as INDIA Names Tejashwi | The Wire Wrap

Описание: With the Supreme Court permitting ‘green’ firecrackers and citizens bursting fireworks of all kinds well beyond permitted time limits on Diwali (October 20), the air quality in the capital city recorded the highest pollution levels in five years even as chief minister Rekha Gupta said that pollution levels had dipped. In Bihar the opposition Mahagathbandhan has named Tejashwi Yadav as its chief ministerial face, raising questions on why the NDA has not yet declared Nitish Kumar as its pick. Globally renowned scholar of Hindi and professor emerita at SOAS, London University, Francesca Orsini, was stopped from entering India even though she has a valid 5 year e-visa.
