RLD chief Jayant Chaudhary with KC Tyagi (PTI photo) NEW DELHI: Senior JD(U) leader KC Tyagi on Sunday pledged to carry forward former Prime Minister Chaudhary Charan Singh’s legacy after joining the Rashtriya Lok Dal, after parting way from the Nitish Kumar-led party, which has been at the helm of the Bihar government for the past two decades under chief minister Nitish Kumar.However, Tyagi’s political base lies in western Uttar Pradesh, far from JD(U)’s stronghold in Bihar. Meanwhile, the RLD, also an NDA ally, has been in influence in Uttar Pradesh, especially in the western region, carrying forward the legacy of Chaudhary Charan Singh under the leadership of his grandson, Jayant Chaudhary.Tyagi said his move reflects continuity rather than change, stressing that there is no difference between JD(U) and the RLD, while recalling past efforts by Nitish Kumar and Chaudhary Ajit Singh to come together politically.Israel Iran WarUS-Israel-Iran War News Live Updates: Iran vows tit-for-tat strike after Trump’s 48hr ultimatum, threatens to hit US-Israel energy facilityWatch: Missile strike rocks Israel’s ‘Little India’ as Iran attack injures over 40; videos show chaosOver 100 injured in Israel amid Iran’s missile attack; Netanyahu calls it ‘difficult evening in battle for future’Speaking to ANI, Tyagi said, “I began my political career with the Lok Dal itself.

Climate activists have sounded a ‘wetland emergency’, as three key flamingo habitats in Navi Mumbai have turned toxic, with tests of water samples revealing alarming results.Activists flagged the deteriorating condition of the DPS, NRI, and T S Chanakya lakes at Nerul, which serve as satellite wetlands for the Thane Creek Flamingo Sanctuary (TCFS), a Ramsar site.Flamingo season in Navi Mumbai is from November to May, with January to March seen as the peak viewing time, as bird lovers and enthusiasts gather at wetlands to catch a glimpse of the pink parade.Water sample tests commissioned by the NatConnect Foundation indicate a system under severe stress, activists have stated in messages sent to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.Israel Iran WarUS-Israel-Iran War News Live Updates: Iran vows tit-for-tat strike after Trump’s 48hr ultimatum, threatens to hit US-Israel energy facilityWatch: Missile strike rocks Israel’s ‘Little India’ as Iran attack injures over 40; videos show chaosOver 100 injured in Israel amid Iran’s missile attack; Netanyahu calls it ‘difficult evening in battle for future’The warning is reinforced by the absence of flamingos, which have not arrived this season, said B N Kumar, director of NatConnect Foundation.Four basic indicators – TDS, pH, BOD and COD – paint a consistent picture of decline. The results showed over-concentrated, stagnant water rather than natural tidal flushing.”Put simply, all four indicators tell the same story-the water is not moving as it should in a healthy intertidal wetland,” Kumar said, pointing to blocked or restricted tidal flow.Instead of being regularly flushed, the wetlands are turning into stagnant, polluted basins.Activists squarely blame governance failure.The City And Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO) is “largely responsible for what has happened,” Climate activist Nandakumar Pawar said, adding that regulators such as the Maharashtra Coastal Zone Management Authority and the forest department have “simply looked the other way”.The wetlands, he warned, are a public asset being destroyed in plain sight.Flamingos depend on algae and microorganisms that thrive in balanced conditions. As water quality deteriorates, the food chain collapses, turning feeding grounds into stressed habitats.While flamingos have adapted to degraded sites in the past, their absence now suggests the system may have crossed a critical threshold.”These wetlands were our pride. Today, they are being destroyed in full view,” said Rekha Sankhala of Save Flamingos and Mangroves Forum, urging authorities to treat the situation as a public health emergency.Calling for accountability, Sandeep Sareen of Navi Mumbai Environment Preservation Society (NMEPS) said the lab results expose “toxic waters” driven by unchecked development.”CIDCO’s apathy – putting concrete over conservation – is destroying these wetlands despite court orders,” he said, warning that flamingos are “the canary in our ecosystem’s coal mine.” “CIDCO’s deliberate neglect in a time of climate crisis has put groundwater and biodiversity at risk, and we urge immediate government intervention to save these wetlands,” activist Pamela Cheema said.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideos‘Zelenskyy Regime Core Exporter Of Instability’: Russia Reacts To NIA Arrest Of Ukrainians In India‘Selective Narrative’: 275 Ex-Officials, Judges Slam USCIRF Over ‘Disturbing’ Report On IndiaLPG Tanker ‘Pyxis Pioneer’ With Over 47,000 Tonnes Of Fuel From US Arrives At New Mangalore PortSeveral Injured In Dimona As Iranian Missile Hits Israel’s ‘Little India’; Videos Show ChaosJaishankar Speaks To Iran FM Araghchi, Discusses West Asia Conflict, Strait Of Hormuz Situation”Claims Are Baseless” Says Former Envoy Sanjay Verma On Trudeau’s AllegationsRahul Gandhi Warns Of Inflation Wave Amid Rupee Fall, Slams Modi Govt Over StrategyVillage Playgrounds To Mega Stadiums: Yogi Adityanath Outlines UP Sports VisionIndia Weighs Return To Iranian Crude As US Grants Short Waiver During Oil Supply DisruptionTamil Nadu Elections 2026: Chidambaram Targets AIADMK-BJP Alliance, EPS’s Delhi Visits Trigger Row123PhotostoriesInside Azim Premji’s ₹350 crore minimalist home in BengaluruMega infra push in Chennai: Madhya Kailash, T Nagar flyovers see major transformationMani Ratnam’s most iconic Hindi movies over the years: ‘Guru’, ‘Dil Se’, and more9 popular deep-fried vegetarian dishes to enjoy with chai in eveningMoney Conversations Every Couple Must Have Before Marriage’Peaky Blinders’: 7 guest appearances from Adrien Brody to Anya Taylor-Joy, and morePuducherry assembly elections 2026: From A Namassivayam to A Johnkumar, list of BJP candidatesMega boost for Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train corridor; underground work to begin in 3 monthsHow rich is Abhishek Malhan aka Fukra Insaan’s sister Prerna Malhan?

The results showed over-concentrated, stagnant water rather than natural tidal flushing.”Put simply, all four indicators tell the same story-the water is not moving as it should in a healthy intertidal wetland,” Kumar said, pointing to blocked or restricted tidal flow.Instead of being regularly flushed, the wetlands are turning into stagnant, polluted basins.Activists squarely blame governance failure.The City And Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO) is “largely responsible for what has happened,” Climate activist Nandakumar Pawar said, adding that regulators such as the Maharashtra Coastal Zone Management Authority and the forest department have “simply looked the other way”.The wetlands, he warned, are a public asset being destroyed in plain sight.Flamingos depend on algae and microorganisms that thrive in balanced conditions. As water quality deteriorates, the food chain collapses, turning feeding grounds into stressed habitats.While flamingos have adapted to degraded sites in the past, their absence now suggests the system may have crossed a critical threshold.”These wetlands were our pride. Today, they are being destroyed in full view,” said Rekha Sankhala of Save Flamingos and Mangroves Forum, urging authorities to treat the situation as a public health emergency.Calling for accountability, Sandeep Sareen of Navi Mumbai Environment Preservation Society (NMEPS) said the lab results expose “toxic waters” driven by unchecked development.”CIDCO’s apathy – putting concrete over conservation – is destroying these wetlands despite court orders,” he said, warning that flamingos are “the canary in our ecosystem’s coal mine.” “CIDCO’s deliberate neglect in a time of climate crisis has put groundwater and biodiversity at risk, and we urge immediate government intervention to save these wetlands,” activist Pamela Cheema said.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideos‘Zelenskyy Regime Core Exporter Of Instability’: Russia Reacts To NIA Arrest Of Ukrainians In India‘Selective Narrative’: 275 Ex-Officials, Judges Slam USCIRF Over ‘Disturbing’ Report On IndiaLPG Tanker ‘Pyxis Pioneer’ With Over 47,000 Tonnes Of Fuel From US Arrives At New Mangalore PortSeveral Injured In Dimona As Iranian Missile Hits Israel’s ‘Little India’; Videos Show ChaosJaishankar Speaks To Iran FM Araghchi, Discusses West Asia Conflict, Strait Of Hormuz Situation”Claims Are Baseless” Says Former Envoy Sanjay Verma On Trudeau’s AllegationsRahul Gandhi Warns Of Inflation Wave Amid Rupee Fall, Slams Modi Govt Over StrategyVillage Playgrounds To Mega Stadiums: Yogi Adityanath Outlines UP Sports VisionIndia Weighs Return To Iranian Crude As US Grants Short Waiver During Oil Supply DisruptionTamil Nadu Elections 2026: Chidambaram Targets AIADMK-BJP Alliance, EPS’s Delhi Visits Trigger Row123PhotostoriesInside Azim Premji’s ₹350 crore minimalist home in BengaluruMega infra push in Chennai: Madhya Kailash, T Nagar flyovers see major transformationMani Ratnam’s most iconic Hindi movies over the years: ‘Guru’, ‘Dil Se’, and more9 popular deep-fried vegetarian dishes to enjoy with chai in eveningMoney Conversations Every Couple Must Have Before Marriage’Peaky Blinders’: 7 guest appearances from Adrien Brody to Anya Taylor-Joy, and morePuducherry assembly elections 2026: From A Namassivayam to A Johnkumar, list of BJP candidatesMega boost for Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train corridor; underground work to begin in 3 monthsHow rich is Abhishek Malhan aka Fukra Insaan’s sister Prerna Malhan?
