What followed was a thorough frisking and data entry of all the visitors including journalists, CXOs and others who were part of the facility tour.It was good to see that the protocols within Data Centres do not care for India’s famed VIP culture.Betting on monsoonThe focus of some WhatsApp groups is on the behaviour of the south-west monsoon, which was 40 per cent deficient in June.One industry representative said India Meteorological Department predicted 9 per cent deficiency but others said it would be better to be a little circumspect rather than trigger panic. The unanimous view is not to go short in any futures or options trade.Green problemsAt the recent Soluble Fertilizer, Organic Fertilizer, Micronutrient, and Bio Stimulants (SOMS) summit in Gandhinagar, one of the scientists said that for every solution 10 problems arise.He was mentioning the various problems that have cropped up due to the Green Revolution.These problems are excess use of fertilizers, soil degradation, water and air pollution and drop in crop nutrient levels.Published on July 5, 2026Sign into Unlock benefits!Access 10 free stories per monthAccess to comment on every storySign up/Manage to our newslettersGet notified by email for early preview to new features, discounts & offers${ ind + 1 } ${ device }Last active - ${ la }
