Vikramshila Gangetic Dolphin Sanctuary: A last bastion for endangered dolphins in Bihar
Patna: In the ancient heartland of Bihar, where the Ganga meanders past whispering sandbars and age-old settlements, a 60km stretch of river pulses with rare life. This is the Vikramshila Gangetic Dolphin Sanctuary (VGDS), India's only protected habitat for the endangered Ganges river dolphin and a last bastion for the "blind swimmers" of the subcontinent. Named after the historic Vikramshila University, this sanctuary, declared in 1991, stretches from Sultanganj to Kahalgaon, encompassing a rich mosaic of riverine biodiversity. Apart from being a safe haven for the iconic susu, it is also a thrumming aquatic theatre, hosting everything from elusive otters to critically endangered gharials, from soft-shelled turtles to over 135 species of waterfowl. The sanctuary is, in every sense, a living, breathing example of what India's rivers once were and could still be. "More than 250 dolphins and their calves can be sighted at Jhanwi Ghat, west of Bhagalpur. That is a clear indication that the water here is relatively clean and fit for the survival of dolphins," said Arvind Mishra, member of the governing council of the Bombay Natural History Society (BNHS) and a representative of the IUCN Species Survival Commission. "The efforts of both the authorities and environmentally conscious citizens have played a major role in creating conditions suitable for wildlife to flourish here," he added. What sets VGDS apart is its shifting, dynamic nature. During the monsoon, the Ganga's meandering channels and inundated floodplains reshape the land and water, constantly redrawing the map of this sanctuary. A particularly rich 36km stretch from Sultanpur to Bhagalpur turns into a breeding paradise for birds with sandbars emerging as seasonal nurseries for nesting species. "The sanctuary is also recognised as an 'important bird area' by the BNHS. It supports a host of endangered and migratory species like the Indian skimmer (Rynchops albicollis), Pallas's fish eagle (Haliaeetus leucoryphus), Greater spotted eagle (Clanga clanga) and Lesser kestrel (Falco naumanni). Greater and Lesser adjutants too have been reported here," said Mishra. "The ecosystem also supports a sizable population of gharials, various freshwater turtles and numerous fish species," he added. But beneath this shimmering surface lies a current of concern. "Pollution from fertilisers and pesticides in agricultural runoff, along with industrial and domestic effluents, continue to threaten the sanctuary's delicate balance," said Sunil Chaudhary, a Bhagalpur-based expert on Ganges dolphins. "Construction of hydroelectric dams, bridges and irrigation reservoirs disrupt aquatic movement, while accidental killings in gill nets and poaching remain persistent threats," he added. Despite these looming challenges, there is an undercurrent of optimism. Conservationists believe the tide may be turning. Govt initiatives, community engagement and scientific studies have started to yield visible results. Follow more information on Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad here .

Gujarat govt establishes contact with family of 11 foreigners killed in Air India crash
'There are 11 foreign nationals with whom we weren't able to connect, with whom we have established contact. They will be in Ahmedabad by tomorrow…they should all be here in two days. When they come, we will extend every support possible,' Pandey said. The government was until now struggling to establish contact with them, Alok Pandey, relief commissioner, told reporters at the Ahmedabad Civil Hospital. The government is coordinating with the British High Commission to ensure that the process for foreign nationals to identify the body of their loved ones is smooth. Ahmedabad: The Gujarat government Saturday said it has established contact with relatives of eleven foreign nationals who died after the Air India plane crashed in Ahmedabad shortly after takeoff. He said the government has set up a dedicated team led by an officer of deputy collector rank to coordinate with the foreign nationals when they arrive in Ahmedabad. 'We are in touch with the deputy British consulate general also. We have established contact with her. Our officials are continuously in touch with them. Air India authorities and government of India are also continuously in touch with them,' Pandey said. An Air India flight from Ahmedabad to London crashed in the Meghaninagar neighbourhood within minutes of taking off Thursday afternoon. The flight was carrying 242 people, including crew members. All but one passenger, a British national of Indian origin, died in the crash. The flight had 53 British passengers, seven Portuguese, and one Canadian—most of whom were of Indian origin.

Hanumangarh boy on top despite Hindi schooling
Jaipur: In a remarkable achievement that challenges conventional perceptions, Mahesh Kumar from Rajasthan's Hanumangarh district has secured All India Rank 1 in NEET-UG 2025 with a 99.9 percentile, in the results released Saturday by the National Testing Agency. What makes his success particularly inspiring is his Hindi medium background – something Kumar initially feared would be a disadvantage. Kumar said that in his coaching classes while solving practice test papers he learnt how to make a balance between Hindi and English questions as alternates are given in the exam paper. "A few months before the exam, pressure increases automatically, and given last year's NEET-UG entrance, I was tensed as to how the paper will be. Then when we got the question paper, it was a different keeping calm and solving it under pressure was a challenge. After the exam I knew that I won't get a score of 700 like I used to get while solving practice papers, but later when I analysed the answers, I realised that I will get a decent rank, Never thought it would be AIR 1," said Kumar. Kumar, who hails from the small town of Nohar, was initially hesitant to pursue medical studies, considering instead a career in civil services through Humanities. "He feared that having studied in Hindi medium throughout, he might not be able to perform in competitive exams like JEE-NEET, which are usually dominated by English medium students. But today, he has done something we never imagined," said his mother, Hemlata Bagwani, a Grade-III teacher. The turning point came when his sister Himanshi encouraged him to pursue medicine, drawing from her own limited opportunities for higher education outside their hometown. His father, Ramesh Sindhi, is also a Grade-III teacher Notably, Kumar had to wait an additional year after Class 12 to meet the eligible age requirement for NEET. While preparing at a coaching institute in Sikar, Kumar received consistent support from his parents, who made regular weekend visits every two months. "We would take a train on Saturday and spend Sunday with Mahesh," shared Bagwani. Follow more information on Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad here .
