The Central Tibetan Administration (CTA), which is headquartered at McLeod Ganj in Dharamshala, said the award is a profound honour for Tibetan society. Although the Grammy spread cheer in this hill town, celebrations are on hold as the Dalai Lama is in Karnataka. American singer-songwriter Rufus Wainwright received the award on his behalf.

Appearing for social activist Akash Goel, advocate Mukta Gupta told a bench of CJI Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi that the directorate of census operations, which has commenced preparatory work for Census 2027, has not disclosed “any predetermined criteria or standardised methodology” for recording caste identity of people belonging to SC, ST and OBC categories during census.

A bench of Justices B V Nagarathna and Ujjal Bhuyan said that there cannot be punishment before trial and directed release of the accused who already spent 18 months in jail.

Days that once revolved around work, cuddles and caring for her breastfeeding child are now spent in a hospital bed, recovering from a brutal dog attack that has left her with more than 80 stitches across her face, throat and head — and scars that go far beyond the physical. Early on Jan 26, Shalini had stepped out for morning walk near home in HSR Layout’s Teachers’ Colony.

Appearing before a bench of Justices Aravind Kumar and P B Varale, solicitor general Tushar Mehta said the activist was appealing to Gen Z to come out on the street against govt to create a problem in Ladakh which is very sensitive as it shares borders with countries that are not very friendly. Responding to Wangchuk’s submission that he was holding a peaceful protest against govt on the line of Gandhian principles, the SG said, “Gandhi was just a facade to hide his real intention of instigating violence.”

One of the laws challenged by the association is the nearly 60-year-old Orissa Freedom of Religion Act, 1967. Madhya Pradesh had enacted Chhattisgarh Dharma Swatantrya Adhiniyam in 1968 to prevent large-scale conversion of tribals. SC had upheld the constitutional validity of the Orissa and MP laws in 1977 in Rev Stanislaus vs State of MP case and said while the right to propagate religion is a fundamental right, it does not include right to convert.

Official sources said BJP MLAs are in the national capital and will be electing a new leader, who will be sworn in as the new chief minister.

Talking to reporters later in front of Nirvachan Sadan — where a heavy police posse had gathered — she claimed to have warned the CEC that he will end up like Jagdeep Dhankhar, seen as a reference to the former VP’s sudden resignation last year.

According to a complaint filed by the boy’s father, a temple priest, the child had grown fond of momo sold at the roadside stall. The vendors allegedly began feeding him free of cost, winning trust bite by bite. Soon came bigger offers — food, small sums of money, loyalty. Then persuasion. Unaware of the stakes, the boy began removing jewellery from home and handing it over, police said.

Speaker Om Birla failed to defuse the situation even after he gave a ruling asking Gandhi not to refer to news articles or extracts from an unpublished book and speak only on what could be authenticated by placing it on record. The LoP maintained that he should be allowed to speak on the issue, saying excerpts of the unpublished book had been published in Caravan magazine and were authentic.

The SC order may end the prevalent practice harassing people by filing mulitple cases against those whose social media post is critical of govt or party in power, and safeguards fundamental rights. The guidelines say the police must verify whether the complainant qualifies as the “person aggrieved” in terms of law before registering a case and conduct a preliminary probe before lodging an FIR.

Ashwini Vaishnaw said the Budget contains a proposal to expand railway link between the region and the rest of the country to four tracks, fulfilling a long-felt need. Northeast Frontier Railway GM Chetan Shrivastava said the underground stretch would run from Tin Mile Haat to Rangapani stations within Bengal.

The switch moved without the required lift action, suggesting the safeguard meant to prevent fuel supply cut off and inadvertent engine shutdown did not function as designed, sources said. The London incident challenges the controversial narrative that the Ahmedabad crash resulted from a deliberate pilot act, pointing instead to a possible and critical technical flaw in the aircraft’s fuel switch design.

With the trade deal announced, Indian goods are suddenly looking more competitive. This means that a product will face 18% additional tariff over the MFN or product-specific rate.
