There is a massive fire in the zabarwan range, srinagar. If it is not controlled, it might engulf the whole forest by tomorrow morning. Please look into it. @OfficeOfLGJandK@srinagaradmin@DivComKash
Deeply grateful and truly honoured to join as the first Constitution Defenders Fellow. Looking forward to learn from and grow with the incredible team at @CLPRtrust
Introducing Iqra Khalid (@iqrakhaalid), our first National Constitution Defenders Fellow! A practicing lawyer from Srinagar, J&K, Iqra brings 5+ years of experience in commercial and civil litigation, labor/service law, consumer protection, and anti-corruption laws.
To give some perspective, the US Supreme Court hears less than 100 cases a year. The Supreme Court of India hears 800 cases a day.
The figures as we move to High Courts and lower courts would be equally daunting.
Iqra disagrees. “Both as a lawyer and as a granddaughter, I feel that my grandfather who is 80 years old has every right to live, has every right to live a dignified life. And it’s the state’s duty to protect that, to deliver on that - it’s a constitutional right.”
Tonight at 10 pm IST on @BBCWorld discussing the Mucormycosis crisis and the challenges it entails. In conversation with @devinaguptanews, alongside @akshaygn and Dr. Ramanan Laxminarayan, @CDDEP on #WorklifeIndia. Do tune in.
I spent 2 days in the "hot zone" in New York hospitals, witnessing needless death and heartache, and heroic, shattered health workers. One doctor spends her days treating patients, holding their hands--then goes home and cries. Her message: "Stay home."
