Food rations that could feed over a million people for three months are mouldering in warehouses because of US aid cuts. Some stocks that are due to expire are likely to be destroyed. Jessica Donati, @REUTERSFARGE, @JonathanLanday and I report for @Reuters https://t.co/yFgunbHJWC

Trade Licences are being issued to trades without inspection. RTIs to offices of ZC, CHO, HO & MOH for copies of inspection reports go unanswered. What is the point of processes if it's not followed? Clearly a scam here!.

My deep dive into how the deaths of some Kenyan protesters were mischaracterized by police as road accidents and mob justice. At the country’s biggest morgue, only one gunshot death was recorded between June 25, the most violent day of protest, and June 30

ICIN today wrote to our Hon'ble Governor, Chief Justice of Kar, Chief Minister, Dy CM and Chief Secretary on the dereliction of duty by BBMP officials leading to a breakdown of the city's Standard of living directly impinging on our Constitutional Right to Life (Article 21).

Sirs, meeting was organised between 50 residents & the illegal restaurant where they went on record to say that SHI Renukamba applied for licence on behalf of establishment & they have no clue on what laws need to be followed!!. When did law enforcers become agents 4 businesses?

[i Change Indiranagar @icindngr]

Sirs, how is this establishment allowed to function on 12th main, Indiranagar without a trade licence & sanctioned plan?. With ZERO parking it has taken over entire footpath & byelanes. Ease of business @ cost of residents peace & with absolute lawlessness?. We demand closure!

Senior journalists and @NWM_India members remember the Emergency – marked by press censorship, detention of political opponents, and so on –from the vantage point of the present time, especially in terms of media freedom and freedom to dissent.

My own view on the #sengol controversy is that both sides have good arguments. The government rightly argues that the sceptre reflects a continuity of tradition by embodying sanctified sovereignty & the rule of dharma. The Opposition rightly argues that the Constitution was adopted in the name of the people & that sovereignty abides in the people of India as represented in their Parliament, and is not a kingly privilege handed down by divine right.

The two positions are reconcilable if one simply drops the debateable red herring about the sceptre having been handed to Nehru by Mountbatten to symbolise the transfer of power, a story for which there is no proof. Instead we should simply say that the sengol sceptre is a traditional symbol of power & authority, and by placing it in the Lok Sabha, India is affirming that sovereignty resides there & not with any monarch.

Let us embrace this symbol from the past to affirm the values of our present.

Union Minister Meenakshi Lekhi makes a run for it as reporters repeatedly ask her about the protest by the wrestlers. On another note, she runs fast 💨

18/18 It was so unprofessional. I've never faced anything like this in any media house in India. No exit interview, no prior intimation, nothing. Just a termination notice out of the blue. So @Forbes - is this behaviour typical of your franchise partners like @Forbes_MENA_?

India's top women's magazine has chosen to put #Dileep on the cover. #Vanitha translates to "Woman". They should be renamed anti-Vanitha. Sick! https://t.co/wNHk77Wp99

[NWMIndia @NWM_India]

After the Taliban took control of Afghanistan in early August, the potential adverse impact on hard-won freedoms, particularly for women’s rights, freedom of speech and press freedom, became alarmingly clear. Read our statement of solidarity. https://t.co/HUlBOU8SGF
