Published by Parlour News

As temperatures soared, tankers are becoming the order of the day across Gurgaon’s Sector 57, as there has been no water supply for five days now. The arrangement is costing the Residents’ Welfare Association (RWA) up to Rs 1,500 per tanker. Around 40-50 tankers have been coming each day to cater to over 4,000 homes in the area since the issue arose. “For days now, the Municipal Corporation has not been able to supply any water. We have sent many representations, went to meet the Deputy Commissioner, the Municipal Commissioner too, but to no avail,” said RWA president Roshan Lal Yadav. Story continues below this ad As an exigency, the RWA is having to use submersible pumps, with its tube wells largely having dried up. “The fault partly lies with the boosting station at Sector 51 not working optimally, which is affecting us.

Tahawwur Rana Not The First, Modi Sarkar Has Dragged Over A Dozen From ‘Satvein Patal’ Since 2014

Tahawwur Rana Not The First, Modi Sarkar Has Dragged Over A Dozen From ‘Satvein Patal’ Since 2014

Published by Webster

Last Updated:April 11, 2025, 14:24 IST Since 2014, PM Modi’s administration has extradited over a dozen fugitives, including Tahawwur Rana, Chhota Rajan, and Ravi Pujari, showcasing a strong stance against terrorism and crime. PM Modi (left) had expressed anger over Tahawwur Rana evading trial in India during the Congress rule. In October 2009, Pakistan-born Canadian Tahawwur Rana —accused of the 26/11 mayhem in Mumbai that killed 166— was arrested by the US authorities. India, which witnessed a bloodbath due to the plot hatched by Rana and his childhood friend David Coleman Headley, wanted one thing — let him come back to India and face justice. However, the US authorities tried him under various charges, including support to Lashkar-e-Toiba. Cut to June 9, 2011, when Rana was convicted for his terror acts in Denmark, but was acquitted in the terror conspiracy against India — adding salt to the wounds of 140 crore Indians. Narendra Modi, who was then the Chief Minister of Gujarat, did not mince words either against the US, which too had its citizens …
