@DgpKarnataka Thank you for the prompt response in sending a Hoysala van to Jayanagar 1st block to implement the cracker restriction after 10 pm. Helps animals, babies and elderly to have a happy Deepawali. Hope vigilance continues tonight. Thanks

“Challenge the darkness”, a tagline of Punjab 95, inspired by Jaswant SIngh Khalra’s own words strengthens the filmmakers’ resolve, says @lax_always, in this special report on the film that the censors don't want you to see. https://t.co/C44nX16pYR

Even as social media is flooded with photographs and videos disclosing the identity of the doctor who was recently raped and murdered at the hospital in Kolkata where she worked, @vrindagrover (Advocate, Supreme Court of India), kindly responded to NWMI's request to clarify...

As a regular walker in Lalbagh, the lack of clean toilets is a pain. In this one, near the South Gate, of the 3 loos, for months, two have been out of order, the third with leaky taps.GMR Varalakshmi has built and is supposed to be maintaining this block.

It's been 4 days since Meta disabled @SanaEjaz_ 's Instagram and Facebook accounts, citing a violation of their community guidelines without providing specific details. Despite reaching out to @Meta support team via email, she is yet to receive a response.

We stand in solidarity with @MahaGaza for her courage in reporting from the frontlines of a brutal genocide in Gaza. We are also shocked and immensely disappointed that @IWMF chose to give into pressure from pro-Israel lobbies & rescind their #CourageinJournalism award to Maha.

The UAPA, under which the NewsClick editor Prabir Purkayastha is currently booked, was enacted in 1967 and strengthened by successive governments, a dangerous trend that allowed those in power a way to legitimise political witch-hunts.

A flashpoint in 2004 and now another in 2023 have drawn global attention to Manipur. At both times, women’s bodies have been the canvas on which nationalistic projects have been etched.

To other journalists covering the voter data fraud in Bengaluru. Everyone is saying action taken swiftly. Kindly ask authorities where is the data? Did you take it back? Where are the maps? Did you take it back?
