I crossed from the Tangnu side to the Janglik side around 10 am today a couple of hours after this rockfall. The helpful local people have arranged this basic but sturdy system.
Same thing just happened in Rohru, Shimla today.What on earth is going on in the Himalayas?For anyone still thinking climate change is “nothing”… just look at how these mountains are washing away with the slightest rain.The price of what the West has done is being paid by these fragile Himalayas

That lesser known Forsyth classic, 'The Delay of the Jackal'...
बांग्लादेश के ढाका एयरपोर्ट पर IndiGo के पायलट एक अजीब स्थिति में फंस गए। दरअसल, पायलट को विमान के ठीक आगे एक सियार (jackal) दिखाई दिया, जो वीडियो में भी नजर आ रहा है। लेकिन ATC में बैठे लोगों को समझ ही नहीं आया कि jackal क्या होता है। इसके बाद उन्होंने एक गाड़ी में दो लोगों को भेजा। उन्हें वहां सिर्फ एक पॉलीथिन दिखी और वे समझ ही नहीं पाए कि पायलट आखिर किस चीज के बारे में बता रहा है। Video via @wingXaviation
