Contempt Notice Issued to Delhi Home Secretary Over Nitish Katara Murder Case Remission Delay

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court has issued a contempt notice to the Principal Secretary (Home) of the Delhi government for failing to make a decision on the remission plea of Sukhdev Yadav, also known as Pehalwan, one of the convicts in the Nitish Katara murder case.

The court has demanded an explanation from the official as to why contempt proceedings should not be initiated against him. He has been instructed to appear before the court via video conferencing on March 28.

The Supreme Court has criticized the government for its delay in decision-making, stating that government authorities only seem to act when faced with the threat of contempt proceedings. Despite clear legal provisions, the Delhi government has failed to take any action on Yadav’s remission plea.

Sukhdev Yadav, who was convicted in the high-profile 2002 Nitish Katara murder case, has already served 20 years in prison without remission. He has approached the Supreme Court seeking early release, citing legal provisions that allow for remission under certain conditions.

The court has requested an explanation from the Delhi Home Department and has directed the Principal Secretary to be virtually present during the next hearing on March 28.

The case is being closely monitored by the Supreme Court, which has made it clear that the failure to act on remission pleas will not be tolerated.

Delhi Police Launches Anti-Eve-Teasing Squads: A Strategic Move for Women’s Safety

NEW DELHI: To enhance the safety of women in the national capital, Delhi Police is gearing up to launch Anti-Eve-Teasing squads in every district. These squads, as outlined in a recent circular issued by Delhi Police, will consist of 15 trained personnel in each district. Their primary focus will be not only to respond to incidents of harassment but also to proactively work towards prevention and intervention.

The District Police Deputy Commissioners (DCPs) will play a crucial role in identifying hotspots and vulnerable areas that pose a threat to women’s safety. These areas will be shared with the Special Police Unit for Women and Children (SPUWAC) for collaboration, as per the official circular.

The teams will be organized by the Assistant Commissioners of Police (ACPs) from the Women Crime (W) units and approved weekly by the DCP SPUWAC. Their duties will include regular patrols of vulnerable areas, conducting drives on public transport, and focusing on at least two vulnerable points daily. This systematic approach aims to ensure comprehensive coverage of all areas within their jurisdiction.

Female police officers will be deployed in plain clothes to identify and prevent potential criminals. The squads will prioritize victim safety and collaborate with Resident Welfare Associations (RWAs), Market Welfare Associations (MWAs), and local volunteers to enhance vigilance and identify additional vulnerable areas. This collaborative effort aims to shield survivors from public scrutiny.

It is imperative that team members remain sensitive and empathetic, as emphasized in the circular. The focus should be on enforcing the law rather than imposing personal or cultural morality on individuals.

By adhering to these guidelines, the Anti-Eve-Teasing squads in Delhi will contribute to creating a safer environment for women in the city.

A New Era for Delhi’s Infrastructure: Government Vows to Improve Drainage System Before Rainy Season!

DELHI: Delhi’s Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, and PwD Minister Parvesh Verma conducted an inspection of three major drains – Barapullah, Kushak, and Sunehri Pullah – in the national capital on Sunday. They issued strict instructions to officials to complete the desilting work before the monsoon season.

The newly formed government in Delhi is taking proactive measures to prepare for the upcoming monsoon, which historically causes waterlogging issues in various parts of the city. To prevent a recurrence of past problems, the government is closely monitoring the progress of drain cleaning operations. This hands-on approach was evident as both the LG and CM Gupta, along with PwD Minister Verma, personally inspected the drains.

Chief Minister Gupta emphasized the importance of preventing waterlogging this year and highlighted the coordinated effort between the government and administration. The LG expressed confidence that the instructions given by CM Gupta would ensure timely completion of the desilting work, ultimately benefiting Delhi residents by minimizing waterlogging issues.

In the past, blame games between the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) and the Delhi government worsened waterlogging problems for residents. However, the new government is prioritizing coordination among agencies to expedite drain cleaning operations.

“These drains have historically been neglected by previous administrations and were never properly maintained,” stated CM Gupta.

“There was a lack of clear accountability among agencies regarding the maintenance of these drains. We have now entrusted the responsibility of desilting to the Irrigation and Flood Control Department. Our main focus is to prevent waterlogging during the monsoon season, and we are working diligently to achieve this goal. Additionally, we will be requesting regular updates from MLAs on the progress of desilting drains and managing sewage,” the CM explained.

She emphasized that Delhi’s development was haphazard, with poorly designed drains lacking proper chambers and outlets. These issues cannot be solved by merely sitting in air-conditioned rooms or hosting press conferences. Since the crack of dawn, our team has been diligently inspecting drain outlets to prevent waterlogging and ensure the well-being of Delhi’s residents.

The current drainage system is inadequate in capacity and poorly maintained, resulting in frequent waterlogging incidents. The chief minister stressed the importance of planning projects with a long-term vision, looking ahead to the next 100 years. She reiterated that the government’s top priority is the welfare of Delhi’s residents, striving to eliminate any inconveniences they may face.
