| AC Rooms & Bubble Baths: Assam Zoo Rolls Out Luxury Stay for Tigers to Beat the Heat! 🧊

As Guwahati sizzles under a relentless heatwave, the Assam State Zoo and Botanical Garden has turned into a five-star summer retreat not for people, but for its wild residents!

To keep its animals cool and comfy, the zoo has pulled out all the stops. From air conditioners and electric fans to refreshing showers and giant bathtubs, the enclosures have been transformed into chill zones.

Rajani Kanta Deka, Chief Animal Keeper, revealed,

“We’ve built a large bathtub for each of our seven tigers. they’re loving their cool dips! Plus, fans, coolers, and ACs are running to keep the enclosures pleasant.”

And it’s not just the big cats every animal is being cared for, with hydration, shade, and proper nutrition. Deka assured that all animals are healthy, happy, and eating well.

While the animals enjoy their spa-like treatment, Guwahati’s residents are caught between a rock and a hard place the scorching heat and sudden, heavy rains. Recent downpours have left parts of the city waterlogged, throwing daily life out of gear.

Still, one thing's for sure: at Assam Zoo, the animals are living the cool life. Literally. 🐘❄️🦁

Ensuring Women’s Safety in Cab and Bike Services

Women’s safety in Guwahati and other cities has become a growing concern, especially when using ride-hailing services like Rapido and others. Many women have reported alarming incidents where drivers insist on canceling online bookings and taking rides offline, citing high commission charges. While this might seem like a small request, it raises serious safety risks. If a ride goes offline, it becomes untraceable, putting passengers—especially women—at risk of being taken to unknown locations with no way for the company or their loved ones to track them.

Another critical issue is the mismatch between the driver’s profile on the app and the actual person arriving for the ride. Cases have surfaced where a different individual shows up, which is both unethical and dangerous. Passengers must always verify the driver’s identity before starting the trip. If there’s a mismatch, they should immediately report it to the respective cab service.

On account of International Women's Day, let’s take action for safer public transportation. We urge all cab and bike services in Guwahati and beyond to address these concerns seriously. Strengthening safety measures, enforcing strict identity verification, and ensuring rides remain traceable should be top priorities. Women's safety is non-negotiable, and together, we must work to create a safer commuting experience for all.

| India is set to launch its first human submersible to explore the depths of the ocean, marking a significant milestone in the ambitious Deep Ocean Mission. Union Earth Sciences Minister Jitendra Singh announced on Thursday, January 23, that the submersible will operate at a depth of 500 metres this year, with plans to extend its reach to 6,000 metres by 2026.

Addressing the Mission Steering Committee, Singh highlighted the mission's dual objectives of resource exploration and environmental sustainability. “Through this mission, we are not just exploring ocean depths but building a robust blue economy to drive India’s future,” he said.

The Deep Ocean Mission is focused on unlocking valuable underwater resources, such as critical minerals, rare metals, and marine biodiversity. It also aims to enhance understanding of deep-sea ecosystems, contributing to sustainable fisheries and biodiversity conservation.

Notably, the project is entirely indigenous, utilizing technology developed and manufactured within India. Singh emphasized that this underscores the nation’s commitment to self-reliance in advanced sciences.

The mission is expected to have a transformative impact on India’s economic growth, positioning the country as a leader in deep-sea exploration.
