Two low-pressure systems forecast to drench large parts of India
Meanwhile, the second low pressure system, classified as a well-marked low pressure area, lies over southwest Bangladesh and adjoining Gangetic West Bengal. This system originated from the north Bay of Bengal and adjoining coastal areas of Bangladesh, West Bengal, and north Odisha. The system is moving northwestwards and is expected to intensify into a depression within the next 24 hours. As this system concentrates, it is predicted to bring heavy to very heavy rainfall in northeastern and eastern states, including West Bengal, Bangladesh, Odisha, and adjacent regions, potentially triggering floods in some low-lying areas.Overall, the combined activity of these two low pressure systems will lead to widespread rainfall across large parts of north, east, west, and central India over the coming days. Residents in these regions are advised to stay updated with weather alerts and take necessary precautions to deal with the expected heavy rains.- Ends

Face to face with the past: What Keeladi reveals about ancient Tamil civilisation
The Tamil Nadu state archaeology department, which took over excavations at Keeladi from the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) in 2018, obtained 29 radiocarbon dates from US lab Beta Analytics. These range from 580 BCE to 200 CE and confirm the site is contemporaneous with the urbanisation of the Gangetic plains and is part of India's second urbanisation, which took place in the 6th century BCE. Archaeologists have pieced together — after studying residue in bowls and potsherds, skulls and bone fragments, and fossilised algae in terracotta pipes and ring wells — how people lived on the banks of the Vaigai some 2,500 years ago.
