Violence between members of Manipur's Kuki ethnic group, who mostly live in the hills, and Meiteis, the dominant community in the lowlands, erupted on may 3. Over 100 people have died. Both communities continue to accuse each other of atrocities. The internet has been snapped in the state since the first week of may. The Meitei community accounts for 53% of Manipur's population, but is confined to about 10% of the state's territory. They claim they are facing problems because of large-scale illegal immigration by Myanmarese and Bangladeshis. The hill districts that account for much of the Indian state’s land mass are inhabited mostly by tribals. The Nagas, Kukis and other tribes are protected from encroachment by various laws. The Meitei community says it is seeking the same protections to safeguard lands.

Trees are magical. They provide us with food. They produce oxygen and they're beautiful to look at. And guess what, you may soon be able to charge your electric vehicles by connecting it to a tree. Solar botanic trees, a UK based startup is designing sleek solar powered trees that work as EV-charging stations. There are two versions of the tree; 5.5 metres tall and 3.5 metres tall. The sun’s energy is collected via leaves and is stored in a battery within the tree’s trunk. The trees feature solar panels that act as the canopy. These panels absorb sunlight and transform it into electrical energy. An ai-driven energy storage and management system regulates and releases the charging power. The company recently completed a half-scale prototype of the device and is now looking to build and test a full-size version, before going into commercial production at the end of the year. Sadly, the tree has a power generation capacity of only five kilowatts, making it a rather slow charging option for EV drivers.
