"Whether overstated by its own officials or underacknowledged by Delhi and Islamabad, experts believe the US's role as crisis manager remains as vital - and as complicated - as ever," write @soutikBBC and @BBCVikas https://t.co/2QScUWiZzJ

Having seen the crowd crush at Kumbh with my own eyes, I just want to request people to follow a few things. 1. Avoid crowded days if you can - the area is full until 4 Feb. 2. Follow instructions given by officials 3. Avoid going to Sangam and take a dip at the nearest ghat

Tonight, Delhi NCR air smells like cigarette smoke and burning coal. Even our air purifiers can’t keep up. This isn’t just pollution - it’s a slow, suffocating death.☠️

Headline : The mess at Delhi airport with a sleeping @DGCAIndia and @JM_Scindia Delhi airport has 4 runways, guess how many are operational ? One. Yes. And guess what, the operational runway does not have CAT 3, so cannot operate in fog. No flights took off for 5 hours. Why?1/4

Fog disrupts flights, but what’s happening at @DelhiAirport is shocking. Been here since 10am and sitting in an @airvistara flight for two hours on tarmac with old parents and child - crew helpless - they have no update. Not letting us leave plane either. @DGCAIndia @JM_Scindia

Since 2009, Indian and US teams have scoured the mountains of Arunachal Pradesh, looking for the wreckage and remains of lost crews of hundreds of WW2 planes that crashed here over 80 years ago. The remains now have a home in a new museum. My piece.

A new museum preserves the memories of an often-forgotten World War Two military operation in India.

This is not the first gruesome crime in India where bystanders have been called out for their apathy. In the past too, citizens have been criticised for watching or making videos instead of helping victims of crime. I write for @BBCIndia on Delhi murder https://t.co/NDXZPxA4fX

Prayagraj's deceptively tranquil exterior concealed a combustible mix of crime and politics. Nobody contributed to this infamy more than Atiq Ahmed. A look by me and @BBCVikas at the life and times of the gangster-politician.

Atiq Ahmed was an MP but also had around 100 criminal cases against him.
