A rare Indian Giant Flying Squirrel has been spotted in the forests of Ramnagar, Uttarakhand, for the first time in nearly 12 years after it wandered into a villager’s house. The nocturnal animal was safely rescued by the Forest Department and will be released back into the wild after a health check. Despite its name, it doesn’t actually fly. Using a flap of skin between its legs, it glides gracefully from tree to tree, sometimes covering up to 80 metres in a single glide.

A Delhi-registered car went out of control on the Dudhli road in Mussoorie late Saturday night and slipped off the road amid rain and slippery conditions. Instead of plunging into the gorge, the car got caught in a tree, reportedly saving the lives of the two men inside. Both men from Dehradun were injured and remained at the spot overnight before locals spotted the vehicle and alerted police the next morning. They were taken to the Sub-District Hospital by 108 ambulance.

Anurag showed everyone what limits really look like. “Boundaries only exist in the mind. If the resolve is strong, the body will find a way.”

A rare sight from Uttarkashi, Uttarakhand. Amid fresh snowfall, devotees witnessed the meeting of Kaling Nagraja Devta and Maa Nagni Devi near the border village of Hurri, close to Gangotri Dham. Thousands gathered to watch the moment, many left emotional. As the story goes, Maa Nagni Devi had visited Hurri last year and spoke of holding a yagya, asking villagers to invite her brother. On the invitation, Kaling Nagraja arrived in Dhanari and just then the snowfall intensified, turning the entire darshan into something unforgettable. In Uttarakhand’s living tradition, Kaling Nagraja is remembered as the brother of nine sisters and is also associated with Sem Nagraja, revered as the “fifth dham” by many. Watch the video. Snow, faith, and the mountains doing what they do best.

यह वीडियो उत्तरकाशी की यमुना घाटी का है। वीडियो में आप साफ देख सकते हैं कि दिसंबर के महीने में ही जंगल किस तरह धधक रहे हैं। यह वह समय है जब पहाड़ों में ठंड अपने चरम पर होती है, जब जंगलों को नमी मिलनी चाहिए। लेकिन यहां हालात उलटे हैं। अपर यमुना से लेकर टौंस वन प्रभाग तक आग फैली हुई है। दिन में धुएँ के गुबार और रात में लपटें साफ दिखाई दे रही हैं। यह सिर्फ जंगल की आग नहीं है। यह बदलते मौसम, लापरवाही और सिस्टम की विफलता की चेतावनी है। दिसंबर में जंगलों का जलना बताता है कि आने वाले महीनों में हालात कितने भयावह हो सकते हैं। अगर अभी भी इसे गंभीरता से नहीं लिया गया, तो आने वाला फायर सीजन और ज़्यादा विनाशकारी होगा।

The second video from Niti Valley is even more terrifying. After the reported cloudburst near Tamak, the Valley Bridge built by the BRO was swept away by the sudden surge of water. The visuals show the raging water carrying away vehicles, with a BRO operator reportedly missing after the incident. The disaster has also cut road connectivity between Niti Valley and the district headquarters. This is the kind of force the mountains are facing tonight. Stay away from rivers, streams and vulnerable areas.

Video from Devprayag. As the Bhagirathi flowed with a strong current, a helpless cow was being swept away. Most people would have watched from the bank, hoping for a miracle. Lakhpat Singh Mahar, a local businessman from Devprayag, chose to become that miracle. Without thinking about his own safety, he stepped in and, after a determined effort, managed to rescue the animal from the river. In a time when viral videos are often filled with conflict and outrage, this is a reminder that humanity still exists. Compassion isn’t measured by who or what you save. It’s measured by the willingness to help when someone else is in danger. Sometimes, the biggest acts of courage are the ones that expect nothing in return. Kudos to Lakhpat Singh Mahar for reminding us of that.

Another angle of the Karnaprayag clash appears to show sharp swords being used while others were engaged in a physical fight with their hands. Respect for faith and religious traditions is non-negotiable. But that cannot prevent a serious discussion about carrying sharp weapons in public spaces when they can be used during moments of anger and conflict. No disagreement should escalate to the point where blades enter the equation. The law must be equal for everyone, regardless of identity, religion or background.

The Badi Jaat Yatra of Maa Nanda Devi Rajrajeshwari has begun from Kurud in Chamoli, Uttarakhand. Amid the beats of dhol-damau and traditional rituals, Maa Nanda’s doli has begun its journey towards Kailash. The nearly 26-day pilgrimage will cover around 296 km, passing through villages and sacred stops where devotees will hold prayers, rituals and jagars along the way. For devotees, this is more than a journey. It is a tradition, a shared memory and an expression of Kumaoni and Garhwali faith that continues to connect generations. The Himalayas are not just a landscape here. They are deeply woven into the faith and culture of its people. Jai Maa Nanda Devi.🙏

Nagrasu Gurudwara Standoff: DM, SP Talks Fail, Internet Shut, ITBP Deployed Seven Nihang Sikhs have locked themselves inside Gurudwara Langar Dham Saheb in Nagrasu, Rudraprayag. Two rounds of talks with DM Vishal Mishra and SP Niharika Tomar have failed. They are not coming out. Police and ITBP are at the spot, Internet services in the area have been suspended. The Gurudwara Management Committee is also attempting to negotiate. Nothing has worked so far. The root of the anger goes back to June 16. A dispute between Nihang travelers and locals in Karnprayag went unaddressed. The Nihangs allege that the local Gurudwara management never filed a formal complaint in that case. Section 163 has since been imposed in Karnprayag till June 27. Home Secretary Shailesh Bagoli on Saturday warned that those trying to give the matter a communal colour will face strict legal action. IG Garhwal Rajeev Swaroop has been directed to conduct a detailed inquiry.

Amid all the noise online, this heartwarming video from Kasar Devi near Almora stands out for the right reasons. A tourist from London was seen collecting plastic and garbage scattered along the trail instead of ignoring it like most people do. Sometimes outsiders end up respecting the mountains more than those living around them. Uttarakhand is not just a tourist destination. It is Devbhoomi, and keeping it clean is everyone’s responsibility.

Some promises take years to fulfil. ❤️ For Miyako Kettlet from Japan, Sunday was about fulfilling a promise she had carried since her husband’s death. She travelled to Bageshwar, Uttarakhand, carrying the ashes of her late husband Robert Kettlet, and performed the final rituals before immersing his ashes in the sacred Saryu River. Robert, originally from the United States, had a special connection with Bageshwar. He first visited the town with Miyako in 2007 and was deeply moved by its natural beauty. The couple later married in 2009 and settled in Japan. Robert passed away after a prolonged illness in 2022. Years later, Miyako returned to Bageshwar to fulfil his final wish. Some promises survive distance, years and even death. ❤️

“Take ₹5 Lakh, Just Save My Brother…” A Brother’s Desperate Plea as Kanwariya Is Swept Away in the Ganga A heartbreaking video has emerged from Tondeswar Ghat in Devprayag, where a Kanwariya was reportedly swept away while bathing in the Ganga amid a strong monsoon current. The most painful part of the video is his brother standing helplessly on the riverbank. In desperation, he can be heard pleading with people, “Take ₹5 lakh, just save my brother… please catch him, save him.” But the force of the river left everyone helpless. Despite repeated warnings during the monsoon, people continue to enter the Ganga at unsafe locations for bathing, adventure and social media videos.

Off-Duty Cop Spots Landslide Coming, Stops Traffic, risking his own life Naik Suk Bahadur Tamang of Rorathang Police Outpost in Pakyong district, Sikkim was walking back to his home at 4th Mile, Bhasmey after finishing his night shift on Tuesday morning. At around 9:30 am, near Chamarey on the Rangpo-Rorathang road, he noticed boulders beginning to slide off the hillside. Tamang immediately stood on the road and stopped vehicles coming from both sides. No equipment. No backup. Just a man in the right place waving traffic back before the hill came down. The landslide struck minutes later, sending large boulders and debris crashing across the road about three kilometres from Rorathang.

One of the saddest realities of the hills is that very few doctors or teachers willingly choose to leave the plains and serve here. But those who do often end up becoming part of the mountains themselves. This heartwarming video from Government Nursing College, Chamoli captures the emotional farewell to Dr. Mamta, who served as Principal for nine years. Through the pandemic and beyond, she earned the love and respect of students, colleagues and the local community with her dedication and compassion. As she bid farewell, tears spoke louder than words. The hills may struggle to attract good people, but when they find them, they never let them leave without a piece of their heart.

Ravi Tamta has been in the news for the past few days after his flying vehicle prototype took its first flight from Almora. Since the video went viral, many people have started comparing it with similar flying vehicle prototypes already developed in China and other countries. And yes, the idea of personal flying vehicles is not new. But perhaps that misses the point. Ravi comes from Kaflikhan, a small village in Almora, and has a degree in Arts. His father is a traditional craftsman. This is not the kind of background where access to technology, resources and specialised knowledge automatically comes with the package. Yet he chose to build. Whether the prototype eventually becomes a successful flying vehicle is a different question. Its engineering should be tested, questioned and improved. But the fact that someone from a small village in Uttarakhand decided to take on an idea far bigger than his circumstances deserves recognition. China may have built similar machines before. That doesn’t make Ravi’s attempt meaningless. Sometimes the bigger achievement is simply having the courage to look at something that seems impossible and say, “I will try.”

And yes, the idea of personal flying vehicles is not new. But perhaps that misses the point. Ravi comes from Kaflikhan, a small village in Almora, and has a degree in Arts. His father is a traditional craftsman. This is not the kind of background where access to technology, resources and specialised knowledge automatically comes with the package. Yet he chose to build. Whether the prototype eventually becomes a successful flying vehicle is a different question. Its engineering should be tested, questioned and improved. But the fact that someone from a small village in Uttarakhand decided to take on an idea far bigger than his circumstances deserves recognition. China may have built similar machines before. That doesn’t make Ravi’s attempt meaningless. Sometimes the bigger achievement is simply having the courage to look at something that seems impossible and say, “I will try.”
