☆ New Delhi’s Iron Pillar has been exposed to the elements for centuries. So why hasn’t it ever shown signs of rust?

The Quwwat-ul-Islam mosque is part of the UNESCO-listed Qutb Minar complex. Scientists both in India and abroad began studying the iron pillar in Delhi in 1912 to try to figure out why it hadn’t corroded. Stuart Forster/ShutterstockBeyond its metallurgical intrigue, the origin of the Iron Pillar is also veiled in mystery. In the epic poem “Prithviraj Raso,” penned by Chand Bardai, a courtier in the Chahamana dynasty under King Prithviraj Chauhan, the Iron Pillar holds great significance. “Bardai describes the Iron Pillar in Raso as a nail holding the Earth on the hoof of Sheshnag, the serpent king in Hindu mythology,” says Vikramjit.

Air quality dips in Delhi ahead of winter every year, when cold air traps pollutants from a variety of sources including vehicles, industries, construction dust, and agricultural waste burning. The project, estimated to cost 10 million rupees ($120,000) for 100 square kilometres (38.6 square miles), would involve spraying into clouds a mix of salts that include silver iodine, Agrawal said. "We don't expect that big a cloud that will cover entire Delhi, but a few hundred kilometres would be good," he told Reuters. The air quality index in the city was 506 early on Thursday, which is categorised as "hazardous" by Swiss group IQAir. Several countries have used cloud seeding to produce rain, improve air quality and water crops in time of drought, including Mexico, the United States, China, Indonesia and Malaysia.

KANPUR, India—Since losing his wife during a wave of the coronavirus last year, Ram Bilas Kovind said, he has been turned away repeatedly by authorities in the northern Indian city of Kanpur as he has unsuccessfully sought compensation available to India’s Covid-19 victims. “They ask us for proof. How can we prove when she wasn’t tested, when she wasn’t hospitalized? Almost everyone in the area was sick at the same time,” said the 69-year-old. “We have nothing.”

În ultimele săptămâni, India a fost copleșită de cel de-al doilea val devastator al pandemiei de coronavirus. Înmormântări între orele 07:00 și 23:00Descoperirea mormintelor și a cadavrelor putrezite și teama că ar putea fi infectate cu coronavirus au trimis valuri de șoc în satele de pe malurile fluviului. La Kannauj, Jagmohan Tiwari, un sătean de 63 de ani, a spus că a văzut „150-200 morminte” pe malul fluviului. Miercurea trecută, guvernul de stat a interzis „Jal Pravah” și a oferit fonduri familiilor sărace, care nu-și permit incinerările.
