Recent Milestone Headlines
In the legal arena, the Delhi High Court recently denied bail to Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam under the UAPA law, keeping them in jail for over five years without a trial. Their case highlights how the courts are handling protest‑related charges and the fine line between free speech and violence.
Nature’s force made headlines too. A massive red alert from the India Meteorological Department warned of severe rain across Punjab, Delhi‑NCR and Uttar Pradesh, turning parts of Punjab into its worst flood zone since 1988. The flooding forced evacuations, damaged homes and disrupted travel, especially near the Haryana‑Delhi border.
Travelers in Delhi felt the heat when the Yamuna rose to 207.44 meters, just shy of its 1978 peak. The high water level delayed flights, caused road closures near IGI Airport and even halted cremations at Nigambodh Ghat. Even though the weather alert slipped to yellow, the city stayed on edge.
Sports fans got their share of milestones. The IPL 2025 playoff clash between KKR and PBKS at Eden Gardens promises a batting‑friendly pitch with true bounce and a chance for spin in the evening dew. Meanwhile, Gujarat Titans made history by signing Kusal Mendis as a replacement for Jos Buttler, marking the first IPL playoff signing of a player mid‑tournament.
On the entertainment front, Tiger Shroff’s new trailer for Baaghi 4 shows a darker, more violent side of the franchise, while Guru Randhawa’s visit to the Maha Kumbh Mela added a pop‑culture sparkle to the massive religious gathering.
