Kashmir

Dear Friend,

Day 44. Kashmir is still burning. One more death reported from Sri Nagar. A youth hit by tear gas shell dies in hospital, reports Greater Kashmir. Many parts of Kashmir valley is under curfew and the people besieged in their home. Respected sociologist Dr Fayaz Ahmad Bhat shares the anguish of Kashmiris in his moving article "Kashmir: A Cry From Hell!"

Something sinister is going on in Koodankulam nuclear power plant. VT Padmanabhan & Joseph Makkolil reports that KKNPP-1 is going through what is known as ‘power up-rate experiment’ defined as “the operation beyond the power level licensed by the regulatory body” (IAEA). The data shows that between December 2014 and August 2016  there were 188 successful uprated days!

P V Satheesh explores the lies and half truths spread by the GMO industry. He writes, "the promise of biotechnology in agriculture sounds very hollow. As people who have worked at the grassroots with farmers who have planted Bt cotton and have suffered heavily as a consequence, we feel the thick blanket of half-truths that wrap the dark secrets of the “success stories” of genetic engineering."

And many more stories from around the world.
