Prayagraj's deceptively tranquil exterior concealed a combustible mix of crime and politics. Nobody contributed to this infamy more than Atiq Ahmed. A look by me and Vikas Pandey at the life and times of the gangster-politician. bbc.com/news/world-asi…

This is not the first gruesome crime in India where bystanders have been called out for their apathy. In the past too, citizens have been criticised for watching or making videos instead of helping victims of crime. I write for BBC News India on Delhi murder bbc.com/news/world-asi…

Behind the carefully crafted ceremonies lie discussions that have the potential to not only infuse new energy into India-US relations but also have an impact on the global order. Vikas Pandey #ModiInUSA bbc.com/news/world-asi…

Since 2009, Indian and US teams have scoured the mountains of Arunachal Pradesh, looking for the wreckage and remains of lost crews of hundreds of WW2 planes that crashed here over 80 years ago. The remains now have a home in a new museum. My piece. bbc.com/news/world-asi…

Fog disrupts flights, but what’s happening at Delhi Airport is shocking. Been here since 10am and sitting in an Vistara flight for two hours on tarmac with old parents and child - crew helpless - they have no update. Not letting us leave plane either. DGCA Jyotiraditya M. Scindia

Headline : The mess at Delhi airport with a sleeping DGCA and Jyotiraditya M. Scindia Delhi airport has 4 runways, guess how many are operational ? One. Yes. And guess what, the operational runway does not have CAT 3, so cannot operate in fog. No flights took off for 5 hours. Why?1/4

Tonight, Delhi NCR air smells like cigarette smoke and burning coal. Even our air purifiers can’t keep up. This isn’t just pollution - it’s a slow, suffocating death.☠️

Covering Delhi's pollution feels like watching (and being in) the same dystopian film every year - following the same characters, plot and script. The outcome is always the same - nothing changes. bbc.com/news/articles/…

Having seen the crowd crush at Kumbh with my own eyes, I just want to request people to follow a few things. 1. Avoid crowded days if you can - the area is full until 4 Feb. 2. Follow instructions given by officials 3. Avoid going to Sangam and take a dip at the nearest ghat

"Whether overstated by its own officials or underacknowledged by Delhi and Islamabad, experts believe the US's role as crisis manager remains as vital - and as complicated - as ever," write Soutik Biswas and Vikas Pandey bbc.com/news/articles/…
