Chaos in Delhi as private bus fleet goes off-road
New Delhi: Delhi's public transport system is under mounting pressure as over 600 buses were pulled from service on Wednesday, leaving lakhs of daily commuters stranded across the capital. The crisis was triggered by the termination of contracts for 533 private CNG cluster buses operated under the Delhi Integrated Multi-Modal Transit System (DIMTS) and an ongoing strike by bus operators over unpaid salaries. According to officials, 613 buses in total, including around 80 buses from the Ghazipur depot—did not operate on July 16. This abrupt drop in fleet strength has intensified crowding at bus stops and caused delays on major routes, especially during peak commuting hours in the morning and evening. Delhi currently records around 40 lakh daily bus passengers, but with fewer buses on the road, many passengers are forced to wait longer and travel in overcrowded vehicles. The problem is particularly severe in areas that already suffered from limited frequency and connectivity. Until July 15, Delhi's combined bus fleet stood at 6,368 vehicles, which included 3,372 buses from Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) and 2,996 from DIMTS. The DTC fleet comprised 1,170 CNG buses, 1,800 twelve-meter electric buses, and 402 nine-meter electric buses (Devi buses). DIMTS, on the other hand, operated 2,283 CNG buses, 380 electric buses, and 333 Devi buses. With the exit of 533 CNG cluster buses, the total number of operational buses has now fallen to 5,835, far below the estimated requirement of 11,000 to meet Delhi's public transport demands. The situation stems from the expiration of the bus contract on July 15. The dispute over the contract's renewal reached the Delhi High Court, which referred the matter to an arbitrator. On July 15, the arbitrator ruled that the contract period had not been extended, though the Delhi government is free to enter into a new agreement if it chooses. However, the transition has been anything but smooth, as salary delays have triggered a strike among drivers and operators, compounding the shortage. This double blow,legal delays and worker unrest has left commuters facing significant inconvenience. Long queues, packed buses, and uncertainty have become the norm for Delhi's public transport users. Critics have also pointed fingers at the BJP-led Delhi government, questioning its preparedness and long-term planning. Although the government has announced its aim to electrify the entire bus fleet by 2027, progress has been limited. Only small nine-meter electric buses (Devi) have been introduced so far, with larger electric buses yet to make a visible impact on the ground.

Max Muncy exits after left knee ‘goes the opposite way' in Dodgers injury scare
The Dodgers are hoping their attempt to repeat as champions isn't about to take a major hit. Star third baseman Max Muncy had to be helped off the field after injuring his left knee in a collision at third base Wednesday night in a 5-4 win over the White Sox, and will undergo an MRI on Thursday. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said the team is optimistic following the initial wave of tests, but they will wait for the MRI results before determining if a stint on the injured list is needed. 'I think that our hope it's a sprain,' he said. 'Obviously, for the next few days I'm sure he'll probably be down but, again, the MRI (on Thursday) will show more.' 4 Muncy's angle bent at an awkward angle. @TalkinBaseball_/X The scary play happened in the sixth inning Wednesday while Michael A. Taylor attempted to steal third base with the White Sox leading 4-2. Taylor slid head-first into the bag and right into Muncy's left knee, which caved inward in an awkward way before he fell to the dirt after applying the tag for the second out. Muncy immediately grabbed his left knee and writhed in pain while an already energetic crowd realized what had happened. Starter Clayton Kershaw stood one strikeout away from the 3,000th of his career at the moment, which he would tally during that at-bat. 4 Max Muncy in pain Wednesday night. AP 'Oh, no,' Dodgers announcer Stephen Nelson said. 'The swing of emotions in this Dodger Stadium crowd.' Muncy did not stay on the ground long, being helped to his feet before hobbling off the diamond with the aid of a trainer. While he walked off, Dodgers analyst Oral Hershiser noted how they would not show the replay since Muncy's knee 'pretty much goes the opposite way.' 'It's a tough injury to watch,' the former star pitcher said. Enrique Hernandez replaced Muncy at the hot corner, and the Dodgers rallied for three runs in the ninth for a walk-off win. Losing Muncy would be a tough blow for the NL West leaders since the 34-year-old has rounded into form after a slow start. Muncy entered May 31 hitting .210 with a .678 OPS, but he drove in seven runs while mashing two homers that night against the Yankees and has since slashed .333/.454/.690 with a 1.143 OPS. 4 Max Muncy being attended to Wednesday night.

'He's a huge part of our team, made a great play there. I don't really know why (Taylor) stole there; it just seemed unnecessary. I feel bad that it happened. We're all holding our breath that Munce is going to be OK. He's obviously a huge part of our team, and especially the last two months he's been unbelievable. 'Hope Munce is OK.'

Cruel world, man," one person said. "After he homered?" another one asked. "He just needs bench time, not a trip back to Syracuse," another one added. "I think Mendy and Stearns are just making [expletive] up as they go." "He hits and gets sent down. I'm baffled here," another said. "Help me to understand, please. Listen, I'm a NY rangers fan. I understand bad coaching and player development. Give me a hint here." "This makes no sense right after he looks like he's hitting the ball better," another said.

Naturi Naughton Stuns In Red & Pink At ABFF, Makes Her Miami Directorial Debut
Source: J. Countess / Getty Naturi Naughton didn't just step onto the red carpet at the 2025 American Black Film Festival (ABFF); she owned it. Dressed in a fierce red and pink color block dress, Naturi served the girls in a look as bright and bold as her next venture. The former 3LW singer turned acclaimed actress' look was the perfect fit as she debuted her short film 333 at the ABFF. Naturi chose a vibrant sleeveless red bodice that flowed into a voluminous fuchsia-pink bubble skirt with ruffle detailing. The high-volume silhouette oozed main character energy while being feminine and playful. The colors also bounced off of Naturi's melanin in the Miami sun. Her accessories included pink drop earrings, a gold bracelet, and matching red strappy heels with delicate embellishments. For her hair, she chose a half-up, half-down braided style. Talk about bold and beautiful style for the summer. Naturi nailed it. 333 marks a significant step for Naturi, who stars in the film and co-directs it alongside her husband, Xavier 'Two' Lewis. (Ok, power couple!) It's a personal, creative leap that puts her in a new lane in Black Hollywood. We love seeing her in the director's chair and stretching her talents off-camera. Representation on and off camera matters – and telling our own stories through venues like ABFF – are ways to do it. 'I had a story to tell!' Naturi wrote in part in an Instagram caption thanking her husband, friends, family, and crew for supporting her project. As a writer, director, and producer, Naturi is showing us that we don't have to wait for seats at the table when it comes to Hollywood. We can build our own. ABFF continues to be a space where Black creativity thrives. Miami is buzzing with talent and energy, like spotted celebs like Larenz Tate and Wendy Raquel Robinson, and we love to see it.
