KERALA: REBUILDING WAYANAD
Kerala chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan has always had a knack of finding form when crisis is upon the state, especially in the face of natural disasters. The 2018 mega floods tested his abilities as captain of Kerala, followed by the Coronavirus outbreak in 2020. His steady hand then had much to do with him earning a second innings in 2021.

GRAVEYARD OF OLIVE RIDLEYS
On January 10, 2025, nature enthusiast Rajiv Rai, who stays near Injambakkam beach, 16km from Chennai's Marina Beach, had a sighting he wished he hadn't seen: three large Olive Ridley carcasses on the sand. Next day, he found 11 carcasses; the day after, another 10. Though he alerted the Tamil Nadu forest department and fellow naturalists, he learnt later that the dismal carousel of 70-80 carcasses he kept encountering almost every day till the end of January were amongst the over 1,000 that had washed ashore Chennai's Marina, Kovalam and Chengalpattu beaches. An alarming situation because Olive Ridley, an endangered species, is crucial in maintaining the healthy balance of the marine ecosystem.
