The courts include three each in Gujarat and Jharkhand, two in Maharashtra and one each in J&K, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Manipur, Assam and Punjab.The bench, however, expressed concern over only one NIA court in J&K handling 47 cases and asked the Union govt to consider establishing more special courts for expeditious completion of trials. Delhi is also in the process of designating three exclusive NIA courts to speed up hearings in 50 pending cases.On NDPS cases, the Centre informed the court that exclusive special courts across the country have increased from 77 to 113, but 394 are required based on inputs from states and UTs. West Bengal and Haryana accounted for 13 each among the 36 newly added courts.Govt said states and UTs have committed to establishing the remaining NDPS courts expeditiously in coordination with high courts. It added that infrastructure needs would be met through existing central schemes for judicial infrastructure to avoid duplication of financial assistance.Get the latest India News and Live updates.

Surankote in Poonch bore the brunt with 15 deaths after walls of water and mud barrelled down mountain slopes Sunday. Four bodies were found Monday.Fresh casualties were reported from Mandi in Poonch, where heavy rain brought down a “dhok”, a mountain shelter built by nomadic herdsmen.

India is not yet actively considering abandoning the World Bank-brokered 1960 Treaty – an option it still has on the table – but a source speaking on condition of anonymity said it’s not in India’s interest to remain a party to the Treaty anymore. India had formally sought a review and modification of the IWT citing demographic shifts, clean energy priorities and new climate realities, prior to putting the Treaty in “abeyance” last year in retaliation for the Pahalgam terrorist attack. “It would be accurate to say that the IWT in its present form will not function at all. If provisions related to river water sharing have to be reactivated, they will have to be done in a different form. Not in the present form,” said the source, adding India will await further developments before considering the maximalist option of withdrawing altogether from the IWT. The IWT does not have an exit clause, but it’s of significance to India that Article 60 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (VCLT) states that a significant violation of a treaty by one party allows other affected parties to suspend the treaty in whole or in part. While India and Pakistan are both not party to the VCLT, India believes that if it invoked customary international law, then Pakistan’s state sponsorship of terrorism could be considered such a breach of obligations. According to Indian authorities, as a sovereign state, India cannot be compelled to stay in a treaty that is demonstrably not in its interest. These assertions come in the middle of efforts by Pakistan to internationalise the IWT issue by citing “unilateral and unlawful” suspension of the Treaty and claiming it threatens the water security and livelihoods of its 240 million citizens. Outside of the Treaty framework, India continues to provide issue flood warnings to Pakistan to ensure protection of lives and property. India believes that Pakistan has created an elaborate victimhood narrative, ignoring the fact that more water of the Indus system is lost in Pakistan due to surface runoff than India’s entire share under the Indus water stream. Sources also point to how Pakistan has since 1976 not built a single large-scale storage project or invested in modern water management, despite receiving nearly 80% of the Indus Basin waters under the Treaty. As far as India is concerned, Pakistan’s problem is water management, and not water availability. Fow India though, the central issue remains Pakistan’s support to cross-border terrorism. India maintains that there is no deadline for keeping the IWT in abeyance. “The Treaty will remain in abeyance until Pakistan credibly and irrevocably abjures its support for cross-border terrorism. This is the threshold condition,” said a source, adding that Pakistan continues to provide enabling platforms just across the LoC to terrorist groups and individuals banned by the UNSC 1267 Sanctions Committee. “During this period, India will pursue the optimal utilisation of its legitimate rights through scientific basin management, modern engineering practices, infrastructure modernisation and responsible stewardship of water resources,” said the source.Get the latest India News and Live updates.

Consider the condition of our country’s examination system: first, there were paper leaks; then, a massive scam emerged in the UPSC evaluation process, resulting in incorrect scores being awarded to students. Subsequently, the NEET examination was conducted and then re-conducted, yet the entire evaluation system was still plagued by errors,” he said.He questioned the lack of response to student grievances. “Students submitted complaint after complaint, but no one paid attention to their concerns. Where are these students and their parents supposed to go? Whom can they approach for justice and redressal? The government simply does not listen,” Kejriwal told reporters.Kejriwal condemned the use of force to suppress the protests.”When students took to the streets to protest, demanding nothing more than corrections and reforms in the examination and education systems, they were met with a lathi-charge. The government has refused to meet with them or engage in dialogue. The Modi government has become extremely arrogant. Students are being subjected to lathi-charges, and tear gas shells are being fired at them. The protest was completely peaceful and had continued for 25 days without a single incident of misconduct or wrongdoing. Despite this, the manner in which the protest was suppressed today is deeply regrettable,” he said.This came as the Monsoon Session of Parliament got off to a stormy start, with both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha witnessing repeated disruptions over the alleged NEET-UG 2026 paper leak and the alleged embezzlement of donations at the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust in Ayodhya.Earlier in the day, Delhi Police urged people to maintain peace and avoid spreading rumours or unverified information amid the ongoing Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) protest over the alleged NEET exam paper leak.Police also asked protesters to cooperate with security personnel and follow lawful directions to maintain public order.In a post on X, the official account of Delhi Police wrote, “Delhi Police appeals to all protestors to maintain peace, exercise restraint and cooperate with the police in ensuring peace and public order. All participants are requested to conduct themselves in a peaceful manner, refrain from indulging in any unlawful or violent activities and comply with the lawful directions issued by police officers/personnel deployed on duty.””The public is advised not to believe or circulate rumours, misinformation or unverified content through any platform. Citizens are requested to rely only on authentic sources of information and extend their cooperation to Delhi Police in maintaining peace, harmony and public order,” the post read.Earlier, Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) chief spokesperson Saurav Das said they met Union Health Minister JP Nadda and raised three demands, including resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and compensation of Rs 1 crore to the families of the NEET aspirants, “more than 20 of whom have lost their lives”.He said activist Sonam Wangchuk, who is in a hospital, should be “released immediately”.Das said that the protest will continue till Dharmendra Pradhan resigns.”We met JP Nadda twice. During the meeting, we stated our three demands. First, that Sonam Wangchuk be released immediately… Second, we demand that Dharmendra Pradhan must resign; he should either be dismissed from the Cabinet or resign voluntarily. The protest will continue until his resignation is secured. Third, we demand compensation of Rs 1 crore for the families of the NEET aspirants, more than 20 of whom have lost their lives. We approached JP Nadda regarding these demands,” Das told ANI.Get the latest India News and Live updates.
