2020 Delhi riots: HC seeks police response on accused's plea for discharge in head constable murder case
The Delhi High Court on Monday sought response from the Delhi Police on a plea by an accused who sought that the charges against him in a head constable murder case during the 2020 northeast Delhi riots be dropped. The accused, Mohammed Khalid, moved the Delhi High Court challenging a trial court order that framed charges against him in November 2024 for several offences under the Indian Penal Code, including murder and rioting, among others. Justice Shalinder Kaur issued notice on Khalid's plea and kept the matter next for consideration on October 14. The prosecution also reserved its right to address arguments on the maintainability of Khalid's plea. Khalid was arrested in June 2023 and was released on bail in September. A trial court had framed charges against him under sections 148 (rioting), 186, 188 (obstructing public servant), 302 (murder), 323, 325 (grievous hurt), 332, 333 (grievous hurt to public servant), 353 (assault or criminal force against public servant), 427 and 435 (mischief) of the IPC as well as for offences under the provisions the Prevention of Damage to Public Property Act. On February 24, 2020, a communal riot had erupted on a service road near Chand Bagh on Wazirabad Road in Delhi. An FIR was lodged at Dayalpur police station. The FIR alleged that 'furious protestors' proceeded to the Wazirabad Main Road with weapons such as baseball sticks, iron rods and stones with a common intention to kill the police personnel on duty, and in rage and in furtherance of their common intention, all the protestors started pelting stones at the police officials with sticks, baseballs and iron rods. Following the attack, Head Constable Ratan Lal sustained grievous injuries to his head due to heavy stone pelting and subsequently succumbed to his injuries. More than 270 witnesses have been cited by the prosecution, and seven supplementary chargesheets have been filed in the case.

Dubai's new parking subscriptions offer relief; residents ask for more spaces
Dubai motorists are optimistic as new monthly parking subscriptions have been rolled out, citing the added convenience, reduced risk of fines, and easier day-to-day planning. The new plan, rolled out by Parkin, allows residents and commuters to subscribe to designated public and roadside parking zones across the city, including areas like Silicon Oasis, Dubai Hills, and Wasl Communities. Many residents see it as a much-needed upgrade, while others highlight that limited parking availability and neighbourhood-specific challenges still need to be addressed. In Silicon Oasis, long-time resident Mohammed Khalid, a logistics supervisor, said the subscription brings welcome relief, especially for families with multiple cars. But his main concern isn't cost or convenience, its space. Stay up to date with the latest news. Follow KT on WhatsApp Channels. 'I live in a building with very limited indoor parking. We're a family of six, and we have four cars between us, only two of which can park in the building,' he said. 'This monthly plan will help me not worry about the ticket expiring. It's more convenient for the entire household,' he added. While Mohammed appreciates the relief the plan offers, he says the hassle of finding public parking in the neighbourhood still remains. 'Every evening, at least one of us drives around in circles, hoping someone moves their car.' Still, he sees this as a step in the right direction. 'It gives us peace of mind, but more public plots or multi-storey options would make life easier.' Motorists can avail the service through the mobile application or Parkin website. Fewer fines Over in Dubai Hills, 29-year-old HR executive Nour Al Rahma is relieved by the change. The area, known for its mix of tech offices and residential buildings, has seen high parking turnover. 'I've been fined twice just because I forgot to renew my parking. You think it's still valid, but it expired a day before,' she said. 'This subscription solves that — now I can pay for three months upfront and not stress every morning. It's also good that I can manage everything from the app.' Nour plans to subscribe to the Dh1,400 package for three months. 'It's worth it if it saves me from one or two fines — those add up quickly.' Under the new rules, up to three vehicles can be added to a subscription under the same traffic file registered in Dubai, although only one vehicle can be active at a time. Users can switch between cars every 30 minutes via the app or website. 'No more guessing games' Another resident of Dubai Hills, Egyptian expat Reem Hassan, who commutes daily to a nearby school, says the program has simplified her daily routine. 'I used to keep checking the clock during meetings or class breaks, worried I was overtime. Now it's just one flat fee, and I don't need to think about it,' she said. Residents with light vehicles in Dubai Hills can now subscribe to zone 631G. The subscription allows only one vehicle to be linked per plan, with pricing starting at Dh500 for one month. Longer-term options include Dh1,400 for three months, Dh2,500 for six months, and Dh4,500 for a full year. Parkin's variable parking rates In April, Parkin introduced new variable parking tariffs across Dubai. Under the revised rates, premium public parking spots cost Dh6 per hour during peak hours — from 8am to 10am and 4pm to 8pm — across all zones, excluding weekends and public holidays. Paid public parking in Dubai is mainly divided into four zones: A, B, C, and D. Premium areas within these zones are now marked as AP, BP, CP, and DP. These premium spaces typically offer easier access to public transport, such as being within 500 meters of a metro station, or are located in high-density and commercial zones with heavy demand.

Indus Waters Treaty: Suspension won't have immediate impact on Pak: PU retied prof
After India suspended the Indus Waters Treaty with Pakistan after the Pahalgam attack the claimed 26 lives, Mohammed Khalid, a retired political science professor from Panjab University, has said that while the move carries a strategic weight, its immediate practical impact on Pakistan is limited. 'We have not dissolved the Indus Waters Treaty, but suspended it—meaning its provisions will not be followed for the time being. The suspension is unlikely to have an immediate impact on Pakistan,' Khalid said, adding that under international law and current infrastructure constraints, India cannot abruptly halt the natural flow of rivers shared with Pakistan. The Indus Waters Treaty, signed in 1960 after nine years of negotiations mediated by the World Bank, governs the distribution of water from six rivers of the Indus River System. Under the treaty, India has exclusive rights over the Eastern Rivers—Ravi, Beas and Sutlej—while Pakistan receives the majority of the waters from the Western Rivers—Indus, Jhelum and Chenab. 'India has full control over the Sutlej, Beas, and Ravi, using all of their waters. However, about 80% of the water from the Jhelum and Chenab still flows to Pakistan, as India is allowed to use only 20% under the treaty,' Khalid said. 'The real effect will only be felt if India is able to stop or redirect the water flow, which is constrained by international law. You cannot halt the natural flow of a transboundary river without specific provisions,' he added.
