SC issues notice on Adani Krishnapatnam Port's plea against NGT penalty
The Supreme Court today issued notice in an appeal filed by Adani Krishnapatnam Port Limited (AKPL) challenging a February 2025 order of the National Green Tribunal (NGT) directing the imposition of environmental compensation on the company for past violations related to coal dust pollution and noncompliance with environmental clearance conditions. A bench comprising Justice PS Narasimha and Justice Atul S Chandurkar sought replies from the respondents but declined to stay the NGT's order without hearing them. The case pertains to the Tribunal's order raising serious concerns about the environmental impact of coal handling operations at Krishnapatnam Port in Andhra Pradesh. Proceedings before the NGT were initiated on a complaint by a local resident, Bonigi Rangaiah, alleging that bulk handling of coal cargo at the port was generating fine coal dust affecting air quality, vegetation, and public health in nearby villages. The complaint also cited the port's failure to establish a greenbelt buffer zone, the absence of mechanised cargo handling infrastructure, and the use of private groundwater sources in violation of environmental norms.

Education in Transition: Tradition, Technology, and the Loss of Trust
Last night, the young girl student from Balasore, Odisha, who had suffered 95 percent burns and was undergoing dialysis after an alleged self-immolation attempt linked to academic exploitation, passed away during treatment. The tragedy has deeply jolted our collective moral compass. The horror of the event lies not only in its violence, but in what it revealed: the collapse of trust in an educational relationship once considered sacred, the Guru and the Sishya. It urged me to reflect not merely on this singular tragedy, but on the entire arc of our educational journey, from the spiritually grounded Gurukuls to the emotionally sterile, Al-driven systems of today. How did a tradition built on respect, discipline, and truth find itself teetering at such a moral edge?
