Air quality concerns in parts of Odisha, particularly Talcher, Angul, Baripada, Balasore and even Bhubaneswar, have once again come into focus. While immediate steps such as restricting construction activity, regulating heavy vehicle movement, banning open burning, and undertaking dust-suppression measures are necessary and must be strictly implemented, they cannot be treated as a substitute for sustained and systemic environmental governance.
The people of Odisha, across mining belts, urban centres, and forest-adjacent towns, deserve more than episodic responses triggered by crisis. Clean air and a healthy environment are not privileges; they are basic public necessities directly linked to health, dignity, and quality of life
On World Braille Day, we reaffirm a simple but powerful truth — accessibility is dignity.
Braille is not just a system of reading and writing; it is a gateway to education, independence, and equal opportunity for millions of visually impaired persons across the world. It empowers individuals to learn, work, and participate fully in society on their own terms.
As we work towards a more inclusive future, it is essential to strengthen policies, infrastructure, and public awareness that promote accessible education, technology, and public spaces.
True progress is measured not by how far we advance, but by how many we carry along with us.
Let us commit to building a society where inclusion is not an exception, but the norm.
Deeply saddened and anguished by the tragic loss of a valiant Indian Air Force pilot during the aerial display at the Dubai Airshow. My heartfelt condolences and prayers are with the bereaved family in this hour of profound grief.
Devastated to know ; a bus carrying Indian pilgrims in Saudi Arabia, collided with a tanker in which several precious lives lost in an instant. Many injured, fighting for survival.
Families shattered forever while waiting for loved ones who were on a sacred journey. No words are enough. Praying for the departed souls. Praying for strength to the grieving.
A heartfelt salute to the unbeatable world champions, Team India. 🇮🇳
I was completely captivated, my eyes fixed unwaveringly on the television screen, erupting in joyous celebrations as our phenomenal Indian squad clinched a breathtaking victory in the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025 Finals. This triumph marks a glorious pinnacle for the entire nation, with our heroic team hoisting the prestigious #ICCWomensWorldCup2025 trophy, soaring India's national pride to unprecedented heights. Your extraordinary mastery of cricketing prowess ; those impeccable strokes, lightning-fast fielding & strategic brilliance ; has forged an enduring legacy of inspiration, igniting the dreams of countless young girls across the country to pursue excellence on the field.
Hearty congratulations to every player in the squad for this monumental achievement. This landmark victory will undoubtedly fuel the aspirations of tomorrow's sporting stars, encouraging a new generation of champions to embrace the thrill and discipline of athletics with unwavering passion.
