Smart City Srinagar was based on contextless, soulless and photoshopped images,” said Hakim Sameer Hamdani, a conservation architect. “We need to have a way to manage run-off water from the road and ideally that should be treated and used to recharge groundwater. But there is no proper and integrated system,” Hamdani said.SMC officials, however, said all works sanctioned under the Srinagar Smart City project, which began in April 2017, were completed.Last month, the Omar Abdullah cabinet raised concerns about the award of contracts and the implementation of projects under the Smart City initiative. His govt ordered an external audit on the “failure of the Srinagar Smart City” project.On Monday, the CM said a brief spell of rain flooded large parts of the city, including Lal Chowk, indicating that the drainage system failed. “They are saying they have completed the smart city project. Our govt wants to know what has been achieved so far,” he said.Last year, the ministry of housing and urban affairs told the Lok Sabha that under the Union territory’s Smart Cities portfolio, Srinagar was to complete 161 projects at Rs 3,634 crore.Meanwhile, the IMD Director Mukhtar Ahmad said that widespread rain will continue across Kashmir for the next three days with a risk of landslides and flash floods, asking people to remain vigilant and avoid venturing near hill slopes, rivers and streams.Lieutenant Governor Shri Manoj Sinha reviewed the situation following heavy rains, flash floods and landslides in several districts, mostly in Rajouri and Poonch districts, as death toll climbed to 17 people with several still missing due to flash floods.The govt has already extended school holidays up to July 23 and Shri Amarnath Yatra has been temporarily suspended from July 19, both from Baltal and Pahalgam routes.“I spoke to senior officials today to assess the impact of heavy rains, flash floods and landslides. I am deeply saddened by the loss of two lives in Doda, and my heart goes out to their families. Emergency teams, including NDRF, SDRF, J&K Police and the Army, are deployed and on high alert in vulnerable areas. Key roads in Poonch, Rajouri, Reasi and Udhampur have been reopened, and work to restore water supplies in several areas is ongoing. Field teams have also been directed to urgently evaluate damage to houses and public infrastructure,” he said.Get the latest India News and Live updates.

The protest could have been postponed,” BJP spokesperson Sajid Yousuf Shah said, adding: “The CM should have stayed here along with his ministers to supervise relief efforts instead of attending a show in Delhi.”PDP’s Iltija Mufti described the NC protest as a “lacklustre, deliberately understated and soft-pedalled” one-day event. Her party’s Waheed Parra said the governing party should learn from Wangchuk, who mobilised youths and saw thousands rally in solidarity over the NEET issue. A man without the machinery of govt built a movement, while J&K govt with all the machinery had struggled to build one, he added.However, CPM legislator M Y Tarigami expressed full support to the NC protest. “Its purpose is to remind the Govt of India to fulfil its repeated assurances regarding the restoration of full statehood to Jammu and Kashmir,” he said.Get the latest India News and Live updates.

(ANI image)The National Testing Agency has rejected claims of discrepancies in five NEET-UG candidates’ OMR sheets. (ANI image)The National Testing Agency has rejected claims of discrepancies in five NEET-UG candidates’ OMR sheets. (ANI image)12 NEW DELHI The National Testing Agency Monday publicly rebutted claims of five NEET-UG candidates alleging discrepancies in their OMR answer sheets, saying images circulated by or on their behalf had been digitally altered, regenerated using AI or manipulated by adding responses that were not present on the original sheets.The case-wise clarification came a day after TOI reported the agency had, for the first time, detected AI-generated OMR sheets among complaints challenging the NEET-UG 2026 results. NTA had said no error in the results had been established so far and warned that candidates using fabricated records could face cancellation of candidature, debarment and criminal proceedings. The results were declared on July 16 after the June 21 retest, ordered following the cancellation of the original May test over a question paper leak. Several candidates had alleged that uploaded OMR sheets were interchanged or showed fewer attempted answers than claimed.In the case of Avaneesh Srivastava, NTA said the genuine OMR bearing his details was on record and had also been emailed to him during the response-key challenge window. It said the circulated image carried the identity of “Ajeet Singh”, a person with the stated parentage who did not exist in the NEET-UG 2026 database. It added the printed portion had been regenerated through AI- or OCR-based tools. Srivastava’s score of 337 was verified.Similarly, rejecting Pratibha Trivedi’s claim, NTA said the circulated image was an altered version of her genuine OMR, and her score of 38 stood. In Abhay Yadav’s case, NTA said his public claim that he had left only five questions unanswered was contradicted by the official OMR, which showed 44 unattempted questions. His score of 164 was verified. For Lakshya Singh, it said additional answer bubbles had been digitally shaded on the circulated image. The genuine sheet showed 54 attempts – 34 correct and 20 incorrect – resulting in 116 marks. In Arya Singh’s case, it said the invigilator’s signing time had been altered, along with other digital changes. Her score of 167 stood. The agency said forged OMRs or scorecards could attract action under Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Act, BNS and IT Act. Get the latest India News and Live updates.

Can Rs 60,000 provide all these services? We all know how much one needs to pay to employ a driver and a domestic help,” the CJI-led bench said.Finding solicitor general Tushar Mehta in the courtroom, the bench asked him to impress upon Centre to constitute a committee in two weeks to consider what should be the basic minimum security and services that every state must provide to retired HC CJs and judges to enable them to lead a dignified life.“We are not talking of a luxurious life, but a dignified life,” the CJI said.Mehta said such a panel would be constituted within two weeks as per request of the Supreme Court. The bench said the committee will study the issues faced by retired HC judges and give its recommendations within three months laying down basic guidelines on the obligations of the states to extend facilities to judges post-retirement.Get the latest India News and Live updates.

(AP image) NEW DELHI: On a day when the Cockroach Janta Party-headed protest against govt over NEET-UG paper leak and myriad issues turned violent, PM Narendra Modi Monday said the Indian youth is full of aspirations and want the country to move forward and, in a message to opposition parties, called for using logic and facts to raise issues in Parliament instead of causing disruption.In his customary remarks to media before the start of Parliament’s monsoon session, he said the country has notched up several achievements in the past one month and brought up the debut success of a private space company — Skyroot — in launching a rocket into the orbit, noting that the average age of its team is only 28 years. “I am not speaking of a 56-year-old young man. I am talking about a start-up whose team, with an average age of just 28, has planted India’s flag in space,” Modi said in an apparent swipe at leader of opposition Rahul Gandhi, who is 56. PM said the successful launch has given the message that capabilities and aspirations of India’s youth are as limitless as space itself. Reforms pursued by his govt have enabled the youth to take such bold steps, he added.Calling for a productive session, he said it is the need of the hour that Parliament give voice to people filled with patriotism. “…If logic and facts are strong, then one can calmly raise an issue in an emphatic manner.” “Be it the monsoon or the monsoon session, when both are proactive, they become highly productive. And when both are productive, they contribute to the well-being of the nation.” He spoke of the recent inaugurations of an oil refinery and the country’s third semiconductor plant besides the launch of a hydrogen-powered train as among the recent feats. He said the country has picked up speed, and Parliament’s spirit can infuse new energy into this momentum.Referring to the West Asia conflict, Modi said the war has posed a major crisis for countries like India which are dependent on others for energy. He said petrol, diesel, LPG, fertilisers, chemicals — all faced disruptions, yet, India continued to grow at 7.7%, remaining the fastest-growing major economy in the world.Get the latest India News and Live updates.

The violence did not appear spontaneous and there were organised groups that initiated it, after which sections of the crowd followed, it alleged.In a hard-hitting statement, BJP functionary Amit Malviya said that the “stone-pelting and orchestrated violence” carried out in the name of students raise serious questions about the intent of the protestors and those backing them.“Even more telling was the conspicuous absence of many of the prominent faces associated with the protest from the march itself, leaving those who had been mobilised at the behest of their political patrons to face the consequences,” he asked. The investigation will establish criminal responsibility, Malviya said.“The real conspirators are often those who plan, encourage and coordinate such violence while carefully keeping themselves out of harm’s way. They move on to the next agitation, leaving those they mobilised to bear the legal consequences.”CJP had been holding protest at Jantar Mantar since last month and has drawn support from opposition parties over its demand for the resignation of Union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan for paper leaks.Get the latest India News and Live updates.

There has been a lathi charge, and govt is trying to stifle dissent,” drawing protests from treasury benches and prompting Chairman C P Radhakrishnan to adjourn the House for half an hour.The protests, however, could not obscure the changed arithmetic. With rebel TMC MPs in LS being allotted different seats after their entry in the BJP-led NDA, what stood out was the front-row seat given to their head Sudip Bandyopadhyay. He occupied the seat of TMC parliamentary party leader Abhishek Banerjee, who now commands a group of eight MPs from earlier 28 and no longer has a front seat.It could have been the distinguishing feature of the opening day but for the protests, which continued in the two Houses. Despite appeals from LS Speaker Om Birla and RS Chairman Radhakrishnan for order, protests continued in the two Houses.Birla chided some opposition members for raising slogans when obituary references were read out on the demise of former MPs, saying it was not a good precedent. He later asked protesting opposition members to maintain order and called for allowing other members to participate in parliamentary proceedings, but in vain. The House reassembled six times before being adjourned for the day.RS was adjourned five times during the day. Earlier, soon after the recently elected MPs took oath, Radhakrishan invoked the “collective responsibility” of members to utilise time to debate and decide on issues of national importance. While urging members to remain focused on the timely disposal of business, he said every disruption delays discussion on matters affecting the nation and the people they represent.‘No decision on ethanol blending beyond 20%’ Amid concerns over E20 petrol, govt Monday said no decision had been taken to increase ethanol blending in petrol beyond 20%, reports Atul Mathur. Govt informed Parliament there was no proposal to make lower-blended fuel or pure petrol available at select retail outlets. It ruled out any immediate move to introduce ethanol blending in diesel. “Any move to increase blending in petrol beyond 20% would be based on scientific and technical studies and consultations with stakeholders,” minister of state for petroleum and natural gas Suresh Gopi told Rajya Sabha.Get the latest India News and Live updates.
