How Cyclone Yaas melted down an entire island
Mousuni in Bengalâs Sundarbans was flooded by a tidal wave on May 26. The water washed away everything in its path.
03 Jun, 2021
A tidal wave generated by Yaas leaped over a 30-foot concrete embankment and flooded Mousuni. This girl lost her home.
Zarina Bibi and her husband wade through a 100-metre stretch of knee-deep water between a dry embankment and their destroyed hut. They rest a while at a foot-wide patch of mud at the base of a date tree, where a grey duck has made its home. Even the duck, a creature of water, seems tired of the water stretching on all sides.

People are talking about
May 2, 2021 the disgraceful example of the health minister of KP hosting an ‘Iftar’ party at a restaurant, proving that big wigs think they are above the law and he is bailed out while persons of a lesser god who disregard SOP’s languish in jail. People say the minister should have been removed to send a message that such behaviour will not be tolerated and it’s not kosher talking about the misdeeds of past regimes if the present one is exempt from action. the sorry fact that whenever a decision cannot be reached when there is a meeting of minister/administrators or others in charge having to deal with important issues concerning the welfare of the country, a committee is formed to pass the buck. People say if a bunch of so called ‘responsible’ persons cannot decide, then why the need for a committee the banning of the TLP being a case in point. The government should stick by its decision and let the court decide.

Rawalpindi : Long queues like this one are a common sight for people in Pakistan as they usually stand in them to buy sugar, ghee, or ‘atta’ on regular basis, but here the people are standing in an orderly fashion not to buy something but to get free of cost meal served by some philanthropists at Tulsa Road.
Ramazan has been a blessing for such people when philanthropists dole out charity and free food at ‘sehri’ and ‘iftar’, but this year due to financial crunch the number of such spots is limited.
