To reach school each morning, 15-year-old Lorna first has to swim across the Kemp Welch River, known to locals for its strong […] Continue reading -> South Asia Faces Hotter, Drier Monsoon and ‘Multi-Hazard’ Risks 14/06/2026 Chetan Bhattacharji Home to 1 in 4 people globally, the region should brace for “multi-hazards” and poor air quality apart from heat and water stress, according to a new report. The authors called on countries in the fractious neighbourhood to cooperate on data and form common solutions.
