The integrated public grievance redressal system (IPGRS), accessible through a web app, now allows citizens to lodge complaints online. Additionally, a citizen assistance cell has been set up, and grievances can also be submitted through a dedicated helpline (9483166622) from 10am to 6pm, or in person at BDA's PRO section. All complaints are documented and tracked through a token-based system that also provides SMS-based updates on the status and closure of the grievance.
To ensure efficient implementation, BDA has designated its secretary as the nodal officer, special land acquisition officer (DSKL-6) as assistant nodal officer and PRO as coordinator. The redressal mechanism mandates a resolution or a formal response within 30 days. In cases where action cannot be taken due to BDA rules, an official endorsement is provided and the case is closed.
If the complainant is not satisfied with the resolution, the issue is escalated to weekly public review meetings conducted every Thursday afternoon. These meetings are held zone-wise in the presence of both officials and citizens. A pilot meeting held on July 3 saw participation from 20 out of 30 applicants, with six complaints resolved on the spot and timelines assigned for the rest.

"Rahul Gandhi's pernicious, toxic tweet clearly demonstrates that Rahul Gandhi has no trust in our Indian Armed Forces. The tweet clearly shows that Rahul Gandhi's loyalty does not lie with India, and also Rahul Gandhi seems to be deriving a very sadistic pleasure in demeaning our brave defence personnel and defaming our nation... Rahul Gandhi currently got bail in a defamation case, allegedly for insulting the dignity of the Indian Army, and now he continues to ungratefully malign our armed forces..."

"The tweet made by US President Trump had nowhere mentioned India's name. Rahul Gandhi has twisted and tried to humiliate the selfless valour of the Indian Army... he does not have belief in our own armed forces. His behaviour is condemnable. His dangerous anti-India campaign has caused outrage everywhere..." he added. Kesavan said such "anti-India campaigns" by Rahul Gandhi had triggered widespread outrage and added, "People of India will teach Rahul Gandhi a lesson..." The remarks came a day after Rahul Gandhi, in a post on X on July 19, questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi regarding Trump's claims of having defused an escalation between India and Pakistan, during which "five ships were shot down." The post read, "Modi ji, what is the truth about the 5 ships? The country has the right to know!" This comes after Donald Trump once again claimed to have halted the escalation of the India-Pakistan conflict on Saturday.

Over 100 arrested across UK amid protests in support of banned group Palestine Action
Over 100 people have been arrested across the United Kingdom for protesting against the government's decision to label Palestine Action as a terror group. Demonstrations in support of the pro-Palestine group were held in London, Manchester, Edinburgh, Bristol and Truro as part of a campaign led by Defend Our Juries. According to the Metropolitan police, at least 55 people were held on suspicion of terrorism offences, under section 13 of the Terrorism Act 2000 after they displayed placards supporting Palestine Action. The demonstration has been termed as the largest in Westminster. With placards which read 'I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action,' supporters of the banned Palestine Action group were surrounded at London's Parliament Square beside the Mahatma Gandhi statue on Saturday. Police officers searched the bags of those detained, while some were carried away, a few others were handcuffed. Sky: More than 100 people protesting against the ban of Palestine Action have been arrested in towns and cities across the UK. In London, Manchester, Edinburgh, Bristol and Truro. The group became a proscribed terrorist organisation two weeks — Defend our Juries (@DefendourJuries) July 19, 2025 Metropolitan police added that nine people were further arrested for supporting Palestine Action group, when a large-scale march was organised to Whitehall by the Palestine Coalition, The Guardian reported. One further arrest was made following the last update bringing the total to 66, the details of which are below. This will be the final post on today's protest updates thread. — Metropolitan Police (@metpoliceuk) July 19, 2025 Defending the Palestine Action group, Defend Our Juries in a post on X stated, 'The UK government is complicit in Israel's genocide against Palestinians. They are attempting to silence those who expose this complicity.' The Prime Minister Keir Starmer-led UK government proscribed Palestine Action as a terror group under the Terrorism Act of 2000, which made the support or membership of the group a criminal and punishable offence. A report by The Guardian quoted a woman who was detained in Parliament Square and said, 'We demand that Palestine Action is de-proscribed. Our government is not only arming a genocide, they are using terrorism laws to silence people who speak out.' The Israel-Gaza war, which started with militant group Hamas' surprise attack on Tel Aviv in October 2023, doesn't seem to be moving towards a ceasefire as key demands by both the warring factions have not been agreed upon.
