Belgian farmer Diederik Steyaert has managed his crops without any irrigation for more than 26 years. His approach relies on organic farming practices that keep the soil moist just 5–10 cm below the surface. By abandoning ploughing and consistently adding organic matter, he has built soil that retains water naturally. The method encourages plants to develop resilience against stress and drought conditions. His success is being highlighted as a practical model for sustainable farming in water-scarce environments.

Nepal-Tibet floods follow months-old glacier risk warnings by ICIMOD

Devastating floods struck Nepal and Tibet, killing hundreds and leaving many others missing after a glacial collapse triggered a catastrophic flash flood. The disaster came months after the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) had issued warnings about accelerating glacier melt in the region. ICIMOD reports had flagged doubled ice loss rates and a rising risk of glacial lake outburst floods across the Himalayan region. Smaller glaciers were identified as shrinking at an especially rapid pace, compounding flood hazards for downstream communities. Experts emphasize that cross-border regional cooperation is essential to better monitor and prepare for such transboundary mountain disasters.

India in Talks to Procure US-Made Javelin Anti-Tank Missile System

India is planning to purchase the Javelin anti-tank missile system from the United States. The Javelin is a shoulder-fired weapon known for its 'fire-and-forget' capability, meaning it can autonomously track and hit a target after being launched. This feature allows the operator to immediately seek cover after firing, reducing exposure to enemy counterfire. The acquisition would add a significant self-guided anti-armor capability to India's ground forces.
