Setback for Kuldeep Singh Sengar: Delhi HC Rejects Plea to Suspend Sentence in Unnao Victim’s Father Case

New Delhi/Unnao: Kuldeep Singh Sengar, currently serving a sentence in the Unnao gangrape case, faced a setback on Monday when the Delhi High Court dismissed his plea seeking suspension of the 10-year sentence awarded in the case of the death of the victim’s father. Justice Ravinder Dudeja observed that Sengar has already spent over seven and a half years in custody out of the total 10-year sentence. The delay in deciding his appeal against the sentence, the court noted, was partly caused by Sengar himself, as he had filed multiple applications seeking relief. Consequently, his plea for bail and suspension of the sentence was rejected. Challenge to Trial Court Verdict In 2017, the trial court had sentenced Sengar to 10 years of rigorous imprisonment and imposed a fine of ₹10 lakh ...

Over 90 Fog Holes Spotted in Delhi Amid Rising Pollution, Study Reveals

Delhi Residents Hesitant to Buy Electric Cars as MCD Falls Behind on Charging Stations

New Delhi: Delhi’s Municipal Corporation (MCD) has lagged significantly in setting up electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, raising concerns among potential buyers and slowing the adoption of electric cars in the capital.

The MCD was assigned the goal of setting up around 1,000 charging stations. However, so far, it has managed to construct only 422 stations—less than half the target. While the MCD currently operates approximately 420 parking sites, not all of these have functional charging points. Shortage Impacting Public AdoptionThe lack of readily available charging stations has been a key reason many Delhi residents hesitate to inves...
