Spy in the sky - Graham Bowley, Hindu
The traders crouched beneath the walls of an old fort, hunkered down with the sheep and goats as they talked, eyes nervously flitting up from time to time at the blimp that has become their constant overseer. “It is there every day except the days when it is windy and rainy,” said Suleman, 45, who goes by only one name.
