Pet dog licence enforcement drive begins
During the inspection, six dog owners were fined a total of Rs 30,000 for not having valid licences. Six new licences were issued on the spot, and the total collection of Rs 34,400 was deposited into the LMC treasury. Two dogs — a Golden Retriever and a German Mastiff — were taken into custody and released after fines were paid.
The enforcement and dog-catching teams, along with other municipal staff, took part in the operation.
Some residents attempted to avoid inspection or persuade officials, while others showed proper documents such as licences and vaccination certificates. LMC officials said that notices would be issued to those who avoided the verification. LMC estimates around 10,000 pet dogs in the city. As per rules, a dog licence is required and is given only after submission of a rabies vaccination certificate and an affidavit confirming compliance with the Dog Control By-laws, 2003.

A big headload falling from one of the passengers triggered the New Delhi railway station stampede that killed 18 people, Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw told Rajya Sabha on Friday (August 1, 2025). Also Read | Swelling crowd, continued sale of tickets led to stampede The Minister, in a written reply, shared the findings of the high-level committee constituted to examine the circumstances leading to the stampede this year on February 15. He said there was a gradual increase on passengers, many of whom were also carrying big headloads. Samajwadi Party MP Ramji Lal Suman asked the Railway Minister about the status of the report of the committee constituted to investigate the stampede and the corrective steps taken by the government. Also Read | Eyewitnesses recall tragedy, say many collided and fell on stairs and escalators Mr. Vaishnaw said the high-level inquiry committee has submitted its report for consideration. "As per findings of the report, an unfortunate incident on 15.02.25 happened on foot overbridge-3 stairs connecting platform 14/15 at New Delhi railway station. On the day of the incident, sufficient crowd management protocols were in place to handle the overall volume of passengers at the station," he said. "There was a gradual increase of passengers density on the FOB after 8.15 pm. Many of the passengers were carrying big headloads affecting smooth movement on the FOB. 'There was a big headload falling from one of the passengers and the pressure was passed on to the stairs of PF 14/15 stairs, resulting in the tripping of passengers on the stairs. This led to an incident at 8.48 pm on FOB-3, which was limited to the stairs of FOB. Consequently, passengers fell on each other." The Minister informed the House that in the incident, 18 people lost their lives and 15 others were injured. According to Mr. Vaishnaw, an ex-gratia amount of Rs 10 lakh to the next of kin of each deceased, an amount of Rs 2.5 lakh each to the grievously injured and Rs 1 lakh each to other injured has been paid. "Accordingly, a total amount of Rs 2.01 crore has been paid to 33 victims and their family members," Mr. Vaishnaw said. The Railway Minister said the government has taken several actions to handle the heavy rush of passengers at stations, including the creation of permanent holding areas and access control measures — allowing passengers with confirmed tickets — at 73 identified stations, widening foot overbridges, installing CCTV cameras, developing war rooms at big stations, among others.

Anil Ambani set to rise again, his debt free company now making good profits, earns Rs 600000000, company is....
Anil Ambani (File) Anil Ambani, once India's industrial titan, is currently going through a difficult time. The Enforcement Directorate has summoned Reliance Group Chairman Anil Ambani for questioning on August 5 in a money laundering case linked to an alleged bank loan fraud worth crores of rupees against his group companies, official sources were quoted as saying by news agency PTI on Friday. The federal probe agency has also notified a Look Out Circular (LOC) against the 66-year-old businessman to stop him from travelling abroad, the sources said, PTI reported. He has been asked to depose at the ED headquarters in Delhi on August 5 as the case has been registered here. Moreover, the ED is also looking at allegations of 'illegal' loan diversion of around Rs 3,000 crore, given by Yes Bank to the group companies of Ambani between 2017-2019. After the news broke, Reliance Power and Reliance Infrastructure shares reportedly fell significantly. Overall, the market was in a selling mode. Amidst a series of difficult reports, there is some good news for Anil Ambani. His companies are planning a comeback. According to the ZeeNews report, Anil Ambani's company Reliance Infrastructure (Reliance Infra Shares) has turned from losses to profits. In the first quarter of FY26, it reported a consolidated net profit of Rs 59.84 crore, compared to a loss of Rs 233.74 crore for the same quarter of the previous financial year. Changing their strategies, Anil Ambani's companies are recovering. Earlier on Monday, shares of Reliance Infrastructure jumped over 4 per cent, reaching Rs 358 on the BSE. This jump came after the company reported a significant turnaround in performance, recording a record profit for the first quarter of FY26. The company declared it is now completely debt-free and has no dues to banks or financial institutions. Anil Ambani has altered his business paradigm, now focusing more on debt reduction. He paid off all the debts of Reliance Infrastructure and left the company completely debt-free. As the company began to get out of the debt trap, investor confidence began to return. It began receiving new orders, not just in India, but from abroad as well. This is the primary reason the company is transitioning from loss to profit, and the shares of Reliance Infra started showing signs of revival.
