Jairam Ramesh NEW DELHI: Congress leader Jairam Ramesh on Saturday criticised the Centre, accusing Prime Minister Narendra Modi of ‘moral cowardice and political betrayal’ as the US-Israel conflict with Iran enters its third week.In a post on X, Ramesh highlighted that it has been over three weeks since the aerial assault on Iran began and 23 days since the PM’s visit to Israel. He alleged that the government has remained silent and failed to take any substantive diplomatic initiative to de-escalate tensions.“It has been exactly 21 days or three weeks since the aerial assault of the US and Israel on Iran began. It has also been 23 days since the PM returned from his much-trumpeted visit to Israel.

The answer is No,” Ramesh wrote on X. The Congress leader went on to pose four-pointed questions: Has the Modi Govt condemned or criticised or deplored the targeted assassinations of top Iranian leaders by the US and Israel that continues unabated?Has the Modi Govt condemned or criticised or deplored the brutal efforts of the US and Israel to force a regime change and state collapse that could lead to civil war in Iran?Has the Modi Govt mounted serious diplomatic efforts and initiatives to bring the bombing of Iran and Iran’s attacks on energy and other essential infrastructure in the Gulf countries to an immediate halt?Has the PM used his much-claimed friendship with the US President and the Israeli PM to bring about a cease-fire?Answering all the four questions as a big ‘NO’, he further wrote in his post, “These 4 NOs reflect the moral cowardice and political betrayal of India’s civilisational values.”His remarks come as the US has intensified its military campaign against Iran. On Friday, US President Donald Trump indicated that Washington is nearing its objectives and may soon wind down its operations. Meanwhile, the US Central Command reported significant damage to Iranian military assets under ‘Operation Epic Fury’, including strikes on drone production facilities and naval infrastructure. Pentagon officials stated that thousands of targets have been hit in recent operations, signalling the intensification of US military actions in the region.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.

. NEW DELHI: A parliamentary panel on water resources has expressed concern over the rising level of groundwater contamination across the country, and recommended that the govt make all out efforts towards mitigation in the most affected regions by using latest technologies, including AI/Machine Learning and best global practices.The panel, which submitted its report this week, also took note of heavy metal contamination, including uranium, lead and nitrate, detected in Delhi’s groundwater, and the serious health risks which it may pose. It referred to instances of contamination flagged by the Central Ground Water Board (CGWB) in its annual report in Nov last year.Though the panel appreciated corrective measures taken by the Jal Shakti ministry, it noted with concern the rising number of partially affected districts in terms of contamination of basic parameters like fluoride and nitrate in most states/UTs.Israel Iran WarUS-Israel-Iran War News Live Updates: Israel pounds Tehran as Iranians mark Nowruz; UAE, Kuwait defences respond to missile barrageTrump Rules Out Ceasefire: says US nears Iran war goals; signals wider military options’Enemy has been defeated’: Iran’s Mojtaba Khamenei claims victory over US, IsraelThe department of water resources, however, in its submission told the panel that groundwater contamination by heavy metals was “generally location-specific” and depended on local hydro-geological conditions and source pressures.“Therefore, exceedance at a monitoring location does not imply uniform contamination across the entire area,” it told the parliamentary standing committee on water resources headed by BJP Lok Sabha member Rajiv Pratap Rudy.When asked to provide a detailed note on groundwater contamination in India, its sources for contamination, and corrective measures taken in this regard, the department told the parliamentary committee that the groundwater monitoring is conducted by the respective state governments and the CGWB on a “regular basis”.“CGWB, at its level, conducts ground water quality monitoring through its network of around 17,000 monitoring stations spread throughout the country. The data so generated indicates that groundwater in India largely remains potable. However, occurrences of a few contaminants beyond permissible limits are reported in isolated pockets of some states and UTs. Reported contamination is both due to natural geogenic factors as well anthropogenic causes like rapid industrialisation, urbanisation, agricultural intensification etc.,” the department said in its response. The CGWB, in its report in Nov 2025, noted that groundwater quality across most parts of India, in general, was considered “good to excellent” but Rajasthan, Haryana and Andhra Pradesh faced “widespread contamination” and certain other states faced “localised contamination challenges”.The board’s report said arsenic contamination was a major concern in Ganga and Brahmaputra river basins while uranium contamination, although less widespread, was sporadically detected in parts of Rajasthan, Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.It attributed contamination to discharge of untreated industrial waste, excessive use of fertilisers and pesticides, improper waste disposal and sewage leakage in urban areas and over-extraction of groundwater.The CGWB’s report highlighted that exceeding trace metal concentrations in groundwater was of critical concern as it directly affected both human health and environmental safety. “Toxic metals such as arsenic, lead and uranium can cause severe neurological, skeletal, kidney and cancer-related problems, while elevated iron and manganese levels pose risks, especially to infants and children,” it said.About the AuthorVishwa MohanVishwa Mohan is Senior Editor at The Times of India.
