Despite the attempts to mitigate the effects of the pollution,

there was little immediate relief for the city’s many millions of residents.

New Delhi Chokes as Annual Curse of Pollution Returns With a Vengeance

Schools shut down and residents were told to stay indoors

as the government seems unable to avert an airborne calamity

with multiple culprits that descends at the onset of winter.

Calcutta, India

In the suburbs,

a couple of miles from the centre of the city,

people have no running water in their homes.

The communal taps in the streets are turned on twice a day

to enable people to wash and collect drinking water.

Water is wasted

because it is left running for a couple of hours each time

Monsoons, drought … and adventure: our world of water – in pictures

‘There is too much water in some places, too little in others,’

says Ian Berry, who has spent years documenting the links

between landscape, life and water

Delhi protests: India's worst religious violence in decades

Video The Guardian 26 February 2020

The death toll

from some of the worst religious violence

in Delhi in decades

has risen to more than 20,

as Muslims fled their homes

and several mosques in the capital burned

after attacks by Hindu rioters.

Clashes between Hindu and Muslim groups

that began on Sunday showed no sign of abating,

with reports of hundreds injured

from gunshot wounds, acid burns,

stabbings and wounds

from beatings and peltings with stones

Dhanbad, India

A man climbs a steep ridge

with a basket of coal scavenged

from a mine in the state of Jharkhand.

A government study found that Jharkhand,

among the poorest states in India

and with the nation’s largest coal reserves,

is also one of the areas most vulnerable

to climate change.

1984 > Madhya Pradesh, India > Bhopal disaster UK / USA

the gas leak (...) killed 20,000 people

(...)

phosgene spill.

The first world war gas was used

in the production of MIC

(methyl-isocyanate),

a substance 500 times deadlier

than hydrogen cyanide,

and so volatile

that unless kept in spotless conditions,

refrigerated to 0C,

it can even react explosively with itself.

Cooling it slows reactions,

buys time,

but MIC is so dangerous

that chemical engineers

recommend not storing it at all

unless absolutely necessary

and then only in the tiniest quantities.

In Bhopal

it was kept in a huge tank,

the size of a steam locomotive.

Far from the shining cathedral of science

depicted in Union Carbide adverts,

the Bhopal factory

more closely resembled a farmyard.

Built in the 70s

to make pesticides

for India's "green revolution",

a series of bad monsoons

and crop failures

had left it haemorrhaging money.

Union Carbide bosses

hoped to dismantle and ship

the plant to Indonesia or Brazil,

but finding no buyers,

went instead on a cost-cutting spree.

Between 1980 and 1984

the workforce was halved.

The crew of the MIC unit

was cut from 12 to six,

its maintenance staff from six to two.

In the control room

a single operator

had to monitor 70-odd panels,

indicators and controls,

all old and faulty.

Safety training was reduced

from six months to two weeks

– reduced in effect to slogans –

but as the slogans were in English,

the workers couldn't understand them.

If It Were My Home

The headlines tell a lot

about the crisis in Yemen:

internal strife,

evacuations

of international aid workers,

Saudi Arabian airstrikes.

But you may have

one very basic question

that you can't easily find

an answer for:

How big is Yemen, anyway?

You can look at maps

and check out Wikipedia

but wouldn't it be great

to just to slap an outline of Yemen

on top of a map of the United States

to get a sense of its size?

IfItWereMyHome.com

lets you do just that.
