Only his torso was left. Jumman’s limbs were blown away in the explosion. Aman’s face was charred. He was identified by his tattoos. They are 2 of the 12 killed. Who has taken responsibility for this massive intel failure in the heart of Delhi? For 2 terror attacks in 7 months?

Delhi’s Diwali air pollution is a crisis of education. It’s a society where reason has failed. You are not equipped to learn that you are polluting the very air you breathe. And you can’t teach your kids to do any better.
