The Bhilai Steel Plant, a symbol of modern India, is running out of iron ore
Posted on 06 Jul, 2013 09:31 AMFor the last 50 years, the Bhilai Steel Plant, which is India's largest integrated steel plant has got its supply of iron ore from Dalli Rajhara's mines.

From worshipped to diseased - the slide of the Karamana river in Kerala
Posted on 05 Jul, 2013 07:55 AMKaramana, the pride of Thiruvananthapuram and an important source of drinking water for the city, is now dreaded and diseased. Parts of the river have been closed to residents now because they are so polluted. What was once a thriving river is now being used as a garbage dump. I decided to trace the path of the river to see how bad the damage really was.

Walk along the path to heaven...on earth!
Posted on 04 Jul, 2013 09:54 PMTawang, a mystical, magical place is nestled in the mountains of Arunachal Pradesh. Indians not from this region as well as foreigners need special permission to visit this restricted area. It is only accessible through a narrow mountain pass. A road snakes through this pass, which is the second highest motorable pass in the world, and at a height of 13,700 feet, reaches a crystal clear lake.
