Stray dog menace: Supreme Court passes a slew of directions to Delhi-NCR states, MCD and NDMC to deal with the menace of stray dogs and orders creation of dog shelters across cities. Supreme Court orders authorities to pick up all stray dogs in Delhi-NCR from all localities within eight weeks and to put them in dog shelters, and no stray dog will be released back.
Supreme Court orders that all authorities to maintain record of daily stray dogs captured and detained. Supreme Court orders to make all localities free of stray dogs and says there should not be any compromise in undertaking any exercise. If any individual or organisation that comes in the way in picking stray dogs or rounding them up, we will proceed to take action against any such resistence.
#WATCH | On SC order to move all stray dogs in Delhi-NCR to be moved to shelter in 8 weeks, Animal rights activist Gauri Maulekhi says," This order, which will affect 10 lakh animals, is very sad. Supreme Court is overruling the codified law without hearing the other side. This order will be challenged. The existing shelters in the country are run only by NGOs and private bodies. The court did not even consider the consequences of the sudden removal of stray dogs. We should have made Delhi an example of animal birth control centres..."
Indian oil refiners continue to source oil from Russian suppliers. Their supply decisions are guided by price, grade of crude, inventories, logistics and other economic factors: Sources to ANI
Russia, the world’s second-largest crude oil producer with an output of around 9.5 mb/d (nearly 10% of global demand), is also the second-largest exporter, shipping about 4.5 mb/d of crude and 2.3 mb/d of refined products. Fears of Russian oil being pushed out of the market and the consequent dislocation of traditional trade flows drove dated Brent crude prices to soar to US $137 per barrel in March 2022: Sources to ANI
Russian oil has never been sanctioned ; instead, it was subjected to a G7/EU price-cap mechanism designed to limit revenue while ensuring global supplies continued to flow. India has acted as a responsible global energy actor, ensuring markets remain liquid and prices stable. India’s purchases have remained fully legitimate and within the framework of international norms: Sources to ANI

ECI rejects Congress allegations about any irregularities in Haryana elections as baseless, misplaced, and devoid of facts. Commission writes to Congress party to refrain from baseless allegations election after election; Calls out the party for raising smoke of ‘generic’ doubts and urges Congress to take firm and concrete steps to curb such a tendency. ECI urges Congress that irresponsible allegations at sensitive junctures like polling and counting days can lead to public unrest, turbulence, and chaos. Citing 5 specific cases in last one year, ECI asks the national party with long-standing experience to exercise due diligence and refrain from habitual attacks on electoral operations, without any evidence.
After a thorough reverification by Returning officers of all the 26 Assembly Constituencies under question, ECI writes to Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge that each step in electoral process in Haryana was flawless and done under the watch of Congress candidates or agents. Response from ECI officials comprises 1642 pages of evidence that authorised representatives of Congress candidates were present at all stages including placing the battery at time of Commissioning and continuously for 7-8 days thereafter till counting was over. Chief Electoral Officer Haryana also rejects all the complaints by Congress party about irregularity in the assembly election.
Rubbishing the completely extraneous talk about status of battery display in EVM, ECI clarified that battery voltage and capacity have no relevance or connection whatsoever for EVMs vote count operations and integrity. The display of the status of battery on Control Unit is solely a feature to assist technical teams in monitoring power levels, ensuring that device functions smoothly throughout polling operations. Any insinuation that battery levels affect voting outcomes is preposterous. Even then, ECI has issued a detailed FAQ on EVM battery, on its website, to address any bonafide queries including different types of battery cells used worldwide, use of alkaline cells in EVMs battery, difference of EVM Power pack from mobile phone battery, functioning of EVM independent of operating voltage and functioning of EVM at different output voltages and Why EVM Power pack status is shown as 99% in some CUs even after full day use in poll, etc.
