The Delhi government will approach the Supreme Court over Haryana not releasing the capital's share of water, which has led to a crisis, Water Minister Atishi said today. Addressing a press conference, Atishi said Delhi is staring at an "emergency" and announced many measures to tackle the crisis, including banning the use of drinking water for washing cars and at construction sites. The government held an emergency meeting over the water crisis that the city is facing amid a heatwave. "We are going to the Supreme Court so that the court tells Haryana and Uttar Pradesh, from where Delhi's water comes, that Delhiites should get their rightful share of water. Apart from this, many emergency measures are being taken by the Delhi government," Atishi said. She said a central water tanker control room is being set up in the Delhi Jal Board (DJB) and will be monitored by an Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer.

NCP (Sharadchandra Pawar) leader Jitendra Awhad apologised today for tearing posters denouncing the Manusmriti that also had a picture of Dr BR Ambedkar. The rival Nationalist Congress Party headed by Ajit Pawar targeted him over the incident and demanded that he be arrested, while the BJPsaid it would stage protests in Maharashtra over the issue. Mr Awhad, a former state minister, was taking part in a protest at Mahad in Raigad district against the state government's alleged plans to introduce some verses from the Manusmriti in the school curriculum. The ancient text supported the caste system and denigrated women, he said earlier, asking people to oppose the decision. But a new controversy erupted when videos of the protest showed him tearing up a stack of posters that also had Dr Ambedkar's picture on them. NCP spokesperson Umesh Patil demanded that Mr Awhad be arrested for insulting Dr Ambedkar. Mr Awhad was responsible for "spoiling the social environment in the

Congress leader Shashi Tharoor on Tuesday took a swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi after he hailed director Payal Kapadia for winning the Grand Prix award at the Cannes Film Festival, asking if India is proud of her, shouldn't his government immediately withdraw the "cases" against her and fellow FTII students. Last week, Ms Kapadia became the first Indian woman filmmaker to win the Grand Prix award, the second highest honour at the 77th Cannes Film Festival, for her Malayalam-Hindi feature film "All We Imagine As Light". Following the win, PM Modi had said the country is proud of her. Back in 2015, Ms Kapadia was one of the protesting students who went on strike to oppose actor-politician Gajendra Chauhan's appointment as the chairperson of the Pune-based Film and Television Institute of India (FTII). In a post on X, Mr Tharoor said, "Modi ji, if India is proud of her, should your government not immediately #WithdrawTheCases against her and fell

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said if anybody dares harass women and businessmen in the state, "yamraaj" would be waiting for them at the next crossroads. At an election rally in Ghazipur, he said gangsters who once flouted the law openly, are being trampled by the bulldozer of Uttar Pradesh. Security and the rule of law are the first conditions of good governance, the BJP leader asserted. The UP government courted controversy in recent years over the demolition of properties belonging to alleged criminals and the opposition has charged the Adityanath dispensation of targeting Muslims. "No one can play with the safety of daughters and businessmen. If anyone tries to do so, 'yamraaj' (Hindu god of death) will be found waiting for that person at the next crossroads," the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister said at the rally in Ghazipur. "We are devotees of Lord Ram and we will not breathe easy till we eliminate sinners," he said without e

The Anantnag-Rajouri Lok Sabha seat "shattered" the voter turnout record with 53% of voters exercising their franchise, the highest in 40 years, the Election Commission (EC) said today, adding that a record polling percentage was also logged in Jammu and Kashmir's Srinagar and Baramulla. With this, the three seats in the Kashmir valley - Srinagar (38.49%), Baramulla (59.1%), and Anantnag-Rajouri (53%) - recorded the highest voter turnouts "in many decades", the poll panel said. This was the first major election in the Union Territory following the abrogation of Article 370 of the Constitution by the Centre in August 2019. The high voter turnout in the Anantnag-Rajouri seat was in sharp contrast to the poll percentage of nine registered in the 2019 election. Even the militancy-infested Zainapora Assembly segment, which saw a 2% turnout in 2019, recorded a poll percentage of 41.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah attacked Congress and said that the Congress party sees Jharkhand as an "ATM of corruption," adding that corrupt leaders of Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) including former Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren are sitting on "Congress lap." Addressing a public rally in Jamtara in support of BJP candidate Sita Soren, the Union Home Minister on Friday also alleged that Congress and Hemant Soren's JMM are competing with each other on corruption in the state. "Jharkhand is just a vote bank, property, land bank and corruption ATM for Congress and for the one who is requesting from jail. Hemant Soren is doing injustice to Jharkhand by sitting in the lap of Congress that roadblocked the development of Jharkhand for years just to become CM," Mr Shah said. He further assured Sita Soren, the wife of Hemant Soren's late elder brother, Durga Soren, who died in 2009, of justice. "Modi Ji believes that the development of the

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Friday said the BJP-led NDA needs to win at least 400 seats in the Lok Sabha polls to complete a number of "unfinished tasks". Speaking at an election rally at Barrackpore in North 24 Parganas district of West Bengal, Mr Sarma also said that the Mamata Banerjee-headed TMC government will not be able to prevent the implementation of the CAA in the state. The BJP leader said there are reasons why Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been talking about 400 Lok Sabha seats. "There are many unfinished tasks that need to be done. We want to bring in the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in the country," he said. The UCC means having a common law for all citizens of the country that is not based on religion. Personal laws and laws related to inheritance, adoption and succession are likely to be covered by a common code.

Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh has doubled down on the state government's claim that a major factor behind the ethnic crisis in the border state was the "massive influx of illegal immigrants from Myanmar". Mr Singh said at least 996 villages have mushroomed across Manipur since 2006, and attributed what he called the "unnatural growth" to illegal immigrants settling down after scattering all over the unsurveyed hill areas of the state.

Mr Singh said in a post on the microblogging website X.
