Kumbh: time to come clean
Issue Date: Feb 28, 2013
Maha Kumbh in Allahabad has perhaps no parallel in terms of the sheer size of the congregation. In less than two months over 100 million people are expected to come to this city, which sees the confluence of two rivers of India—the Ganga and the Yamuna.

German development agency Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) is in talks with the government to dispose of the 350 tonnes of waste lying at the abandoned Union Carbide factory premises. “The leaking of this information has led to a serious debate on whether Germany should be helping India or not,” a representative of GIZ said on September 5.
