Delhi is a non-coastal city. Bengaluru too. Dilli has the largest number of vehicles in India. Bengaluru has the second largest number. See the massive difference in air quality. Dilli all red. Bengaluru mostly green. Friday peak hour. Stubble burning is THE reason.

Compare NASA fire satellite data from four years ago. Burning continues more or less unabated. And as usual, newspapers almost forget about Delhi AQI issue right after Diwali. No one wants to bell the cat.
So the burning seems to continue unabated, but more interesting is the PM2.5 distribution. Appears that the wind is transporting a PM2.5 "cloud" over south india. Experts, am I reading this right 🤨🤨? Enjoy your parali south India 👍👍

Flawed seeding? Why #Delhi’s artificial rain experiment failed; Rs 1.9 crore spent on 3 sorties, #IITKanpur blames low moisture More details 🔗 https://t.co/yZ0CXwsu9Q

3 million dog bites and 3 trillion insane cope from insane activists.
3 million dog bites. Kids mauled, joggers attacked. Rabies deaths soar. India’s stray dog ‘compassion’ policy is now a public safety crisis. Time for a radical rethink before more lives are lost.

We do get monkeys.
In 2014, Huawei had a $400 million annual R&D budget for chips alone. This is almost equal to TOTAL R&D budget of ALL Indian IT companies in 2020-21. If you spend peanuts, you will get monkeys :)
