KIIT Intl Chess Festival inaugurated
The Statesman Bhubaneswar
|May 10, 2025
The 16th KIIT International Chess Festival 2025, organised by KIIT-DU under the aegis of the All-India Chess Federation (AICF), was inaugurated here on Friday.
The plight of people living in Odisha's first sea-erosion-affected rehabilitation colony in Kendrapara district has come under National Human Rights Commission (NHRC)'s scanner with the top rights panel asking the Collector to furnish an Action Taken Report (ATR) to ameliorate poor living condition of the oustees.
Acting on a petition moved by the human rights lawyer, Radhakanta Tripathy, the Commission issued notice and sought for the ATR within four weeks.
The 12-kilometer-long stretch beach at Satabhaya Gram Panchayat in Kendrapara district is stated to be the 'fastest-eroding' beach on the state's long coast. More than 600 homes and large tracts of agricultural land were gobbled up by the advancing waters in the last 40 years.

Throttled city
PM2.5 can be generated within an already polluted atmosphere and this secondary formation is one of the most underestimated reasons for persistently high pollution levels in cities like Delhi. Even when direct emissions arereduced, polluted air rich in precursor gases such as sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, ammonia, and volatile organic compounds can chemically reactinthe atmosphere to form new fine particulate matter. Under conditions common to Delhi- high humidity, low wind speed, fog, and temperatureinversion~ these gases undergo complex photochemicaland aqueous-phasereactions, producingsecondary PM2.5 such as sulfates, nitrates, and organic aerosols
