Ramgarh coal stock on fire
Ramgarh: A huge coal stock of the Topa project under Kuju area of Central Coalfields Limited (CCL) in Ramgarh district caught fire due to spontaneous heating. Firefighting efforts were on to protect the coal, authorities said. Around 80,000 metric tonnes of coal excavated from the mine were stored in the coal dump. Rajiv Kumar Sinha, general manager of the Kuju area of CCL in Ramgarh district, said, "Spontaneous heating in a coal dump is a common phenomenon. We have deployed fire engines, water pumps, and machines to douse the fire, We are separating the remaining coal from the burning stock to stop the fire from spreading." TNN The fire has been controlled, and engineers involved in firefighting believe it will be doused within a few days. As it's a surface fire, not an underground mine fire, they have a number of options, supporting tools, and expert engineers to control and douse the fire.

Cult French TV gameshow set for grand return this summer
In the show teams from eight French towns will compete in a series of physical and mental challenges. Originally created in 1962 by Guy Lux, who was also behind international hit Jeux Sans Frontières (broadcast in the UK as It's a Knockout), Intervilles has become a mainstay of popular entertainment in France since it was first broadcast in 1962. It returned in 1985 on FR3, moved to TF1 until 1991, with intermittent returns throughout the 2000s. Beauvais and Gap, who won the Intervilles' title in 2009, have entered teams for the 2025 edition of the long-running competition, along with smaller towns such as Coulanges-lès-Nevers and Wallers-Arenberg. Advertisement But well-known past entrants Dax and Mont-de-Marsan have declined to take part this year, reportedly in protest at the decision not to include live cattle in the challenges. The animals had been an integral part of the show for many years, but they have been cut from this year's series for welfare reasons. Instead, their place will be taken up by a mascot, known as 'Topa', designed by Swiss comic book artist Zep, the man behind Titeuf . The new series starts on July 3rd and will be broadcast on France 2
