Oxford Union to hold debate on 'independent state of Kashmir'
Thursday, 14 November 2024 The Oxford Union is set to host a debate on Kashmiri independence, sparking controversy.

Dutch environment enthusiast Ellis Spaanderman, 69, has taken it upon herself to clean Srinagar’s iconic Dal Lake—by hand. Her quiet, solo mission has gone viral, inspiring locals to join her fight against plastic pollution. Known fondly as the “Mother of Dal,” Ellis rejects praise, saying she’s simply cleaning what she loves. A cyclist and long-time Kashmir resident, Ellis now hopes to raise awareness, encouraging collective responsibility to protect Kashmir’s natural beauty—one plastic bottle at a time.
