Water Storage Breach At Vedanta Alumina Unit In Odisha Impacts Farm Land

A water storage facility breach at miner Vedanta Aluminium's unit in Odisha has impacted agricultural land, the company said on Monday. The incident, which happened at Vedanta's Lanjigarh alumina refinery in Odisha on Sunday, has alarmed environment experts who pointed out it was a serious matter as the toxic byproduct 'red mud' was involved. The pumped water level, or PWL, has causticity in water, meaning it can corrode organic tissue by damaging skin, eyes and mucus membranes. The water overflowed due to heavy rain, Vedanta Aluminium said. Visuals of the industrial incident show process water lake downstream of a pond that appeared to have been formed by 'red mud'. A large volume of muddy red water was also seen flowing into open areas. The water covered the ground where some trees stood, and ran over other forms of vegetation. 'Red mud' is the waste generated in production of alumina from bauxite. It is also known as 'bauxite residue'.

Watch: Mourinho Throws Runners-Up Medal Into Crowd After Roma's Defeat

Jose Mourinho threw his future as Roma manager into further doubt on Wednesday, saying he was "too tired" after the bitter pain of losing his first major European final to Sevilla. The Spanish team triumphed 4-1 on penalties after the game in Budapest finished 1-1, with Paulo Dybala 's opener cancelled out by an own goal from Roma defender Gianluca Mancini. Such a defeat is a new experience for Mourinho, 60, who had won all five of his previous major European finals, including last year's inaugural UEFA Conference League final with the Italian side. Mourinho's disappointment was visible from the fact that he threw away his runners-up medal into the crowd. @El_Futbolesque pic.twitter.com/3pdVSfCDgA — @El_Futbolesque (@Elfutbolesque2) May 31, 2023 "I'm too tired to do the job as a trainer, as a spokesman of the club, to fight every time," he said in the immediate aftermath of the defeat. Mourinho told reporters that questions over his future we

"UPA Left Shattered Economy": Union Minister On Morgan Stanley Report

Morgan Stanley's report on how India under Prime Minister Narendra Modi has transformed and gained a position in the world order in less than a decade is the "best and sharpest indictment" of the Congress-led UPA's "lost decade between 2004 and 2014", Union Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar said on Wednesday.

He Killed Delhi Teen For Rejecting Him In Front Of Her Friends: Cops

Accused Sahil planned for two days the horrific killing of the 16-year-old girl carried out on Sunday evening in the Shahbad Dairy area here after she had rebuffed him in front of her friends and refused to continue their relationship, police claimed on Tuesday.

Man Calls Ghee Podi Idli 'Death By Calories'. Foodies On Twitter Agree

Idli is one of the most popular breakfast delicacies in India, especially in the Southern region. Super light and extremely versatile, idli is rich in fibre and protein and also keeps you full for a longer period of time. Speaking of our love for idlis, how could we miss mentioning Bengaluru's ghee podi idli? Podi is a mixture of ground dry spices, which is commonly referred to as gunpowder or chutney powder. When idlis are topped with this podi or gunpowder along with ghee, it definitely makes for a drool-worthy indulgence.  A Twitter user, identified as Ankit.Today, recently shared his dislike for this delicious meal. And, surprisingly many people agreed with him. Sharing an “unpopular opinion,” he wrote, “I cannot stand the drowning in ghee and podi idlis served in a lot of popular joints in Bangalore”. Further, the user stated two reasons why he dislikes ghee podi idli. Ankit said “death by calories” and “ghee overdose” turns him off.  “Give me fresh, hot, soft idlis and a g
