Police steps in to prevent festival season violations
Police Commissioner Sudhir Kumar Reddy announced that no event, procession, or gathering would be permitted without written approval. Timings are non-negotiable — events must end by 11:30 PM, while the use of loudspeakers is banned after 10 PM, with strict decibel controls in place. The guidelines also mandate that organisers furnish names and contact details of authorised representatives, set up round-the-clock security with CCTV surveillance (stored for 30 days), and obtain no-objection certificates from property owners where events are held.

Suspended for media byte, IIT-B pupil to be reinstated
Mumbai: IIT-Bombay must reinstate a Ph D student who had been suspended in April this year for 'giving unauthorised interviews to the media'. Bombay high court has said this in an order passed on July 15. The court said that the suspension will cease to have effect from July 25 and the period of suspension undergone will not have any bearing on the record of the petitioner. An official from the institute said they would follow the court's order. The student, Akshay Sawant, from department of humanities and social sciences, was suspended for eight months based on a report of the institute's fact-finding committee and disciplinary action committee.

Rising water levels in Ganga, Yamuna cause flooding in Prayagraj; police warn residents
5:43 Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has stated that the Kanwar Yatra is being deliberately defamed and its participants, the Kanwariyas, are being labelled as hooligans. While acknowledging the devotion of the pilgrims, the report highlights recent instances of violence and aggression by some individuals taking part in the yatra. Adityanath alleges a 'media trial' and accuses some of wanting to 'humiliate the heritage of India by all means.' He contrasted the scrutiny on the Kanwar Yatra with incidents during Muharram, referencing a recent fatal Taziya incident in Jaunpur where he said he ordered police to 'hit them with a stick and throw them out.' The discourse raises questions about maintaining law and order and addressing the violent elements, even if they are a minority, within the pilgrimage.
