The conservation of the Shri Govindji Temple in Manipur was needed to preserve an important example of terracotta architecture and culture. The temple, built in 1846, had deteriorated over time due to weathering, earthquakes, and vegetation growth. The conservation project involved dismantling and rebuilding damaged sections like the collapsed roof and cracked walls. Original materials like bricks and teak wood were reused when possible. Conservation techniques like using epoxy seals and replacing deteriorated wood helped restore the temple's structure while maintaining its historic character. The project promoted local crafts and spread awareness of Manipur's cultural heritage.

This document provides a detailed analysis of a Desert Locust upsurge that occurred in Saudi Arabia from November 1996 to May 1997. It describes the weather patterns that contributed to breeding conditions, including above average rainfall. It then outlines the progression of locust infestations over time in different regions of Saudi Arabia, from the initial appearance of solitary adults in November 1996, breeding and increases in densities through February and March, hatching and hopper band formation through April, and migrations in May as conditions dried. Control operations carried out from November 1996 to June 1997 are also discussed.
