Bangladesh Water Crisis Deepens: Barind Declared Water‑Stressed as Pollution Crackdowns, River Monitoring Plans, and Local Food Innovations Gain Urgency

DHAKA/RAJSHAHI, Dec. 17, 2025 — Bangladesh’s water story is entering a new and more complicated phase: it’s no longer only about water pollution, or only about drought and scarcity. It’s about both — at the same time — and the consequences are landing on public health, agriculture, and the economy from Dhaka’s riverbanks to the parched Barind tract. On December 17, fresh developments highlighted how fast the crisis is converging. In the northwest, the government has moved to formally recognize the severity of water stress in the Barind region, including restrictions on groundwater extraction beyond drinking water.

Coal India stock hits 52-week high after opening coal e-auctions to Bangladesh, Nepal and Bhutan

Coal India stock hits 52-week high after opening coal e-auctions to Bangladesh, Nepal and Bhutan

BENGALURU, January 2, 2026, 08:04 ET Coal India opened its online coal auctions to buyers from Bangladesh, Bhutan and Nepal on Friday, letting companies across the border bid directly for its coal. The state-run miner’s shares jumped to a 52-week high. The change comes as demand from Indian power producers has softened, with coal-based generation down in seven of the past 12 months as renewable capacity expanded. Coal India’s supplies to consumers fell 2.2% in the April-to-December period from a year earlier, the company said. “This move should help Coal India boost margins,” said Rupesh Sankhe, a research analyst at

Myanmar’s Internet Dilemma: From Blackouts to Starlink Dreams

This Common Phone Feature Could Land You in Jail Abroad: Inside the Global Crackdown on GPS and Satellite Phones

India bans unlicensed satellite communication and navigation devices, including Thuraya and Iridium phones and Garmin InReach, under the Indian Telegraph Act (1885) and Wireless Telegraphy Act (1933), with penalties up to three years in prison or ₹5 million in fines, and limited DoT licensing for Inmarsat devices. The 2008 Mumbai attacks involved a Thuraya satellite phone, prompting India’s tougher crackdown on civilian satphones.

Internet Kill Switch: Recurring Blackouts in Syria, Iraq, Algeria – And Who’s Next?

Syria has conducted annual nationwide internet shutdowns on high school exam days since 2016, with 2020–2025 patterns showing daily outages of roughly 3.5 to 5.5 hours during exam periods. Syria’s shutdowns use an asymmetric model that allows outbound traffic but blocks inbound responses, making the internet effectively unusable. In Syria, the 2023 exam season produced at least 11 nationwide outages, each about 4 hours long (06:00–10:00), spanning May–June for the first round and late June–July for the second. Iraq began regular exam-related shutdowns in 2023, imposing near-daily four-hour nationwide outages (04:00–08:00) during exams, with a total of 42 outages in
