The plant treats sewage water and converts it into usable water…

New Delhi: In a sweeping directive aimed at curbing the growing menace of stray dog attacks, the Supreme Court on Monday ordered that all stray dogs in the Delhi-NCR region be shifted to shelters, warning that any individual or organisation obstructing the exercise will face the strictest action, including contempt of court.

New Delhi: A dramatic claim by Congress general secretary and Alappuzha MP KC Venugopal about a “near-tragedy” involving an Air India flight has escalated into a political and aviation safety row, with the airline publicly disputing his account and the BJP calling for possible punitive action. Venugopal alleged that Air India’s AI 2455 Thiruvananthapuram–Delhi flight — carrying him, several MPs, and hundreds of passengers — came “frighteningly close to tragedy” after turbulence, a technical fault, and a runway hazard during an emergency diversion to Chennai. According to his account, after about an hour into the flight, the captain announced…

Nagpur: Union Minister Nitin Gadkari on Saturday took an indirect swipe at US President Donald Trump over his decision to impose steep additional tariffs on Indian goods, remarking that nations resort to “dadagiri” (bullying) because they are financially and technologically stronger. Speaking at the Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology (VNIT) in Nagpur, Gadkari stressed that India must increase exports and advance in technology to achieve true economic independence. “If our export and economic growth rate increases, I don’t think we will need to go to anyone. Those who are doing ‘dadagiri’ are doing so because they are financially…

The Ladli Lakshmi Yojana, she noted, reduces the financial burden on parents for their daughter’s marriage. “In the…
