Rahul Gandhi expresses concern over SC order on strays
New Delhi: Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi has expressed his concern over the Supreme Court order that directed the authorities in the National Capital Territory of Delhi to shift all stray dogs to dog shelters . "The SC's directive to remove all stray dogs from Delhi-NCR is a step back from decades of humane, science-backed policy. These voiceless souls are not 'problems' to be erased. Shelters, sterilisation, vaccination & community care can keep streets safe-without cruelty," Gandhi said in a social media post.

PM Modi to inaugurate UER-II, Dwarka Expressway on Sunday
NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to inaugurate the 76-km UER-II, which has been developed as the third Ring Road of Delhi, and the Dwarka Expressway (29 km) on Sunday. These two roads are a key part of the Centre's Delhi decongestion plan and are expected to reduce congestion on the Ring Road and other arterial links of Delhi. The two interlinked access-controlled highways will ensure nonstop travel for vehicles coming from Chandigarh side towards IGI airport, Gurgaon and Jaipur. Sources said that all pending works have been completed. While Dwarka Expressway has been developed in four packages and cost around Rs 9,000 crore, the Urban Extension Road-II (UER-II) was divided in five packages and has been built at a total cost of Rs 7,716 crore. Though the Dwarka Expressway is fully operational, Modi had inaugurated the Haryana section of this high-speed corridor in Mar 2024, just ahead of the last Lok Sabha election. As per National Highways Authority of India, the UER-II starts from Alipur on NH-44 in Delhi and connects NH-9 and NH-48 in the national capital. The project was conceptualised as a part of Delhi Master Plan 2021. While around 54.2 km of it falls in Delhi, the remaining 21.5 km is in Haryana. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Why Mr. Chirag Jain never exits a trade in loss — even when he's wrong TradeWise Learn More Undo The highway stretch provides connectivity to the proposed IICC in Dwarka through Dwarka Expressway.

Kannur University's ‘Partition Horror Day' directive sparks protests
Kannur University's directive to college principals to submit action plans for seminars and cultural programmes on August 14 to mark 'Partition Horror Day' on the Governor's instructions has drawn sharp criticism from teachers' organisations and students. They alleged it was part of the Sangh Parivar agenda of 'saffronising' campuses. The Government College Teachers Organisation (GCTO), Kannur zonal committee, condemned the directive, calling it a politically motivated move. GCTO zonal committee president P.S. Prakash said the circular issued on August 11 by the Directorate of Student Services on behalf of the varsity Registrar had instructed colleges to organise campus programmes on the eve of the Independence Day. 'The foundation of India's independence is the selfless struggle of our great leaders, and ignoring this to promote politically driven stories will never be accepted by the academic community,' said varsity Senate member Mohammed Ashfas. The Kannur University Senators' Forum echoed similar views, saying that the move was part of a Sangh Parivar agenda and urged principals not to implement it. Forum convener Shino P. Jose said that the academic community would not allow attempts to obscure the freedom struggle led by Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, and the Indian National Congress. The Democratic Youth Federation of India Kannur district committee organised a protest demonstration in Kannur against the Chancellor's order. A copy of the order was burned as a mark of protest.
