A reel attributed to former interim CBI chief M. Nageswara Rao alleges the Modi government changed the law to shield itself from future investigations.

Noida’s ₹157.9 crore Sector 82 bus terminal: Years of empty bays expose a transport planning failure

Noida’s Sector 82 bus terminal, built for about ₹157.9 crore and opened in 2022, remained largely empty in 2026.

Delhi’s Tiranga March: Why Neha Bora and Abhijeet Dipke were detained, and where police powers meet protest rights

Neha Bora and Abhijeet Dipke were detained during Delhi’s 16 October 2026 Tricolour march. Police cited crowd restrictions and public-order risks; the circumstances of Dipke’s immediate detention raise a sharper question about when prevention becomes excessive restraint on peaceful dissent.
