Air quality worsens in Almora and Bageshwar amid forest fires and stubble burning
Bageshwar: Air quality in the hill districts of Almora and Bageshwar has significantly declined over the past ten days, with many areas experiencing heavy smog, largely contributed by forest fires and activities. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The deteriorating conditions have raised health concerns among locals, while visitors have noted their dissatisfaction with the poor air quality in these traditionally pristine mountain regions. Air Quality Index (AQI) measurements show Almora at 100 and Bageshwar at 95 — both significantly above their usual range of 20 to 25. Despite district authorities establishing various monitoring teams, the situation remains far from under control. At least seven major fire incidents were reported in Bageshwar alone in the last week. On Wednesday, a fire from burning agricultural waste spread to one Hema Devi's property in Bageshwar, damaging her fruit trees. "These trees were the result of years of hard work. Someone lit a fire in their field below, and the flames reached our house," she said, distressed. Meanwhile, fires near Khuredi village in Almora destroyed over 50 fodder stacks belonging to ten families, while a major blaze in the Suri Van Panchayat forest in Sheetlakhet reached the Govt Inter College in Chaumudhar. Agricultural practices in the hill regions often include stubble burning, with some farmers maintaining traditional beliefs about its benefits for soil fertility and pest control. "It is believed that burning stubble ensures a better crop," said Prakash Singh, a local farmer. In contrast, 65-year-old Hansi Devi reminisced about traditional composting methods. "In the past, elders used to strictly oppose burning. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now We would compost wheat roots with cow dung. But people no longer follow these practices. No one listens to elders anymore," she lamented. Tourists have also voiced their disappointment with the worsening air. "We came here for clean, fresh air. The hills were once known as the lungs of the country. But now it feels just like Delhi — all we can see is smog," said Deepam Arora, a visitor from Delhi. In response to the crisis, the forest department has enhanced its public awareness initiatives, using vehicle-mounted loudspeakers for community education. DFO Dhruv Martoliya confirmed the deployment of teams to monitor and control fire incidents.

Archaeological Survey of India to Restore Damaged Mihrab Structure at Safa Masjid in Ponda
Panaji: After months of delay and neglect, the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) will begin repairs on the damaged mihrab structure surrounding the centuries-old water tank at Safa Masjid in Ponda. Built in 1560 by Ibrahim Ali Adil Shah, the masjid features an ornate tank lined with niche-like arches, once used as hammams. The rain submerged parts of the tank, creating ideal conditions for crabs to burrow into the structure, causing visible cavities. 'We noticed the leakages at Safa Masjid. We have also noticed the dismantling of the stones on some of its arches. We are planning to restore the same,' Abhijit Ambekar, superintending archaeologist holding additional charge in Goa, told TOI . TOI reported on Oct 14, 2024, that the ornate niche structure enveloping the tank — called the mihrab — developed cavities, drilled in by the crabs in the tank. At the time, ASI officials stressed that there was no immediate threat to the tank's stability. However, the ASI-appointed caretakers at the site voiced their concerns about the impact of vibrations caused by rumblers installed on the nearby national highway on the aquatic life of the tank. They said it was prompting crabs to dig into the structure for shelter during the day. The centuries-old tank has been a habitat for fish, turtles, and crabs. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Ready to feel better in your body?

Due to this, the upkeep of other monuments could not be prioritised. Funding was also awaited to take up work at other ASI buildings in Goa,' sources said. At the recently observed World Heritage Day on April 18, Ambekar announced a series of works that will be taken up by the ASI Goa circle this financial year.
