WHEN A CLEAN-UP BECOMES A MESS
A year ago, the idea of a massive nationwide exercise to visit every single household to verify, add, or delete voters was not on anyone’s radar. After all, the Narendra Modi government did not even conduct the mandatory decadal census. Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar took charge in February 2025 and, for three months, did not utter the term ‘special intensive revision’ (SIR). Suddenly, one day in June, the CEC announced a nationwide SIR beginning with Bihar. Why so suddenly and so hastily?

GROUNDWATER URANIUM NEEDS URGENT MITIGATION
A multi-agency study by Indian researchers published in Nature has found high levels of radioactive uranium-238 in breast-milk samples in Bihar. This alarming finding comes on the heels of earlier studies that found high levels of uranium concentrations in groundwater and soil in 151 districts across India. The recent study was conducted on samples from 40 lactating women from six Bihar districts. It found that all the samples had significant uranium-238 traces ranging up to 6 micrograms per litre. Unfortunately, while the World Health Organization has set 30 ug/L as the permissible limit for uranium in drinking water, there is no such safe limit specified for breast-milk, the primary source of nourishment for newborns that provides essential nutrients and antibodies to support their growth.
