Majuli conducts pre-Lok Adalat for swift dispute resolution
1 2 Dibrugarh: Majuli District Legal Services Authority has launched a comprehensive pre-Lok Adalat initiative from Aug 16 to Sept 12, culminating in the National Lok Adalat on Sept 13. This effort, aligned with directives from the National Legal Services Authority (NALSA), aims to deliver accessible and timely justice through alternative dispute resolution mechanisms. The Lok Adalat will take up a wide range of compoundable cases, including civil disputes, matrimonial matters, cheque bounce cases, and issues under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. It will also address pre-litigation disputes such as bank loan defaults, electricity bill arrears, and BSNL telephone dues — offering people a chance to resolve matters before formal legal proceedings begin. Notices have already been issued by the chief judicial magistrate and the munsif judicial magistrate of Majuli to plaintiffs and defendants in pending cases, encouraging them to participate in the pre-Lok Adalat for amicable settlements. Cases resolved during this phase will be formally concluded on Sept 13, subject to mutual consent. Authorities have also reached out to consumers involved in pre-litigation disputes, urging them to visit their respective banks, BSNL, or APDCL offices within the designated period to negotiate settlements. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 15 Most Gorgeous Women, Ranked BigGlobalTravel Undo Even those who haven't received formal notices are encouraged to contact the Majuli District Legal Services Authority or call the helpline to initiate resolution.

On Monday afternoon, Airtel users across Delhi and the National Capital Region were left fuming as mobile and internet services went offline. The sudden Airtel outage affected both calls and data, leading to thousands of complaints on Downdetector.

Airtel later said it was 'working on restoring services,' but the now-deleted post left many subscribers puzzled. The company has not clarified why the statement was taken down. Memes take over social media As is now tradition with large-scale outages, netizens quickly responded with humour. From comparing Airtel's services to 'airplane mode in disguise' to joking about switching to BSNL, the memes captured the collective mood of inconvenience mixed with sarcasm.
