On May 26, the High Court took judicial notice of a concerning news report indicating that over 3,000 soldiers from the Rajputana Rifles are compelled to traverse a foul-smelling and filthy drain to access the parade ground from their barracks in the Delhi Cantonment area.

In response to the threat, security personnel swiftly initiated evacuation procedures, clearing the premises by 3:15 PM. The Delhi Fire Service was notified of the situation at 1:01 PM and promptly dispatched a team to the location to assist with the emergency response.

A case was officially registered on May 28, and subsequent technical surveillance and digital analysis uncovered nine fake Instagram profiles and a Gmail account used to perpetrate the harassment. Authorities revealed that the mobile number associated with these accounts was registered in Arora’s mother’s name but was being operated by him.

Sood emphasized that the inauguration of this infrastructure represents not merely the establishment of a building or facility, but a transformative vision and strategic direction for the capital. By aligning Delhi’s Solar Policy with the Prime Minister’s ‘Surya Ghar Yojana,’ he highlighted that households installing a 3 kW solar panel will qualify for a subsidy of ₹78,000 from the central government, along with an additional ₹30,000 top-up subsidy from the Delhi government—bringing the total support to ₹1,08,000. Furthermore, low-interest loans at a rate of 5% will be available to cover the remaining costs. Notably, rather than collecting payments, the power department will credit users monthly with the savings generated from solar electricity. This forward-thinking approach is instrumental in shaping a sustainable future for Delhi.

“A tender has been issued for the project, and we anticipate that the work will take around one and a half months to complete once the contract is awarded. Additional technical improvements are also being planned for the campus,” stated a PWD official.
