- A hatched block means the outlet is affiliated with, or controlled by, a state.
Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.
Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.
The owner of each outlet is listed as a matter of record, not as a judgement about the outlet.
Every source for this story reports from India.
Officials reported that 22 workers were trapped inside the tunnel when the landslide occurred. Debris and water entered the three kilometer long tail race tunnel at a point approximately 1.5 kilometers from its mouth. Rescue operations were launched immediately by a multi agency team including the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), State Disaster Response Force (SDRF), Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP), Indian Army, and the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF).
