Delhi High Court has granted bail to JNU student Sharjeel Imam in a 2020 riots case involving allegations of sedition.
We did not receive any written notice, says Jyoti a resident of Alexandra B.
"The RWA posted a message on the Tower message group that bulldozers would be coming the next day. The Noida Authority is saying there is an issue with what has been built on the boundaries of flats. But according to the maps of the builder, we had bought those areas and paid extra as Preferred Location Charge. The Noida Authority is saying that it is not so on their map." She said.

Bulldozers have reached Grand Omaxe in Noida’s Sector 93b to clear encroachments as the members of the Tyagi community continued their sit-in protest in front of the gate. Two days ago, the Noida Authority issued a 48-hour ultimatum to clear the encroachments.
A total of 611 teams have been formed to prevent the open burning of waste, Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal said. Apart from this, 210 teams have been formed to enforce the ban on the manufacture, sale, and use of firecrackers, and a 24x7 ‘green war room’ with nine scientific experts will start functioning from October 3 onwards.
He said the industrial units in Delhi have switched to PNG with specific teams to enforce this.
Delhi govt will work with the centre, states of NCR, and Commission of air quality management to control pollution, CM Arvind Kejriwal said.
“We need to take steps together. We will work with the States of the NCR, the Commission for Air Quality Management and the Union government to reduce air pollution. I request neighbouring states to try and ensure that vehicles entering Delhi are running on CNG or are electric vehicles. Neighbouring states should also ensure that industries don’t run on polluting fuel and switch to piped natural gas. Brick kilns also lead to pollution. I would also like to request them…to reduce pollution from brick kilns, zigzag technology should be used. There should be a 24-hour supply of electricity in the NCR so that people don’t have to use diesel generator sets.”
* From Oct 6 onwards, an anti-dust campaign will be launched in the national capital to curb pollution ahead of winter.
* The action plan includes spraying the PUSA bio decomposer on around 5000 acres of farmland in Delhi.
* Construction sites of 5000 sq metres and above need to be registered on a web portal for dust control monitoring.
* Anti-smog guns are compulsory at construction sites of over 5000 sq metres. 80 road sweeping machines will operate to control pollution from road dust. 521 machines will be used for water sprinkling to control dust pollution and 150 mobile anti-smog guns will be used.
* A total of 203 roads with heavy traffic have been identified. To decongest these, alternative routes are recommended.
