The southwest monsoon arrives in Delhi by June 22, advancing swiftly across India. It's crucial for agriculture, impacting 42% of the population, following its earliest arrival in Kerala since 2009.

Delhi monsoon expected to arrive June 22

The southwest monsoon progresses rapidly across India, reaching Delhi by June 22, offering much-needed relief and resources vital for agriculture and water supply, following its earliest arrival in Kerala since 2009.

The southwest monsoon is advancing rapidly across India, reaching Delhi by June 22, earlier than its usual date.

The southwest monsoon, which rapidly covered large parts of central, western and eastern India over the last two days, is expected to reach Delhi and some parts of Haryana and Punjab in the next two to three days.
The India Meteorological Department's (IMD) extended-range-model guidance predicts rainfall over large parts of northwest India, including Haryana, Punjab, Chandigarh, Delhi, Himachal Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, east Rajasthan, Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh, between June 20 and June 25.
An IMD official confirmed that the system is likely to reach Delhi by June 22, ahead of the normal onset date of June 30.
According to the weather department's extended-range forecast, the primary rain-bearing system will cover the remaining parts of the country in the following week, well ahead of the usual dates.
The primary rain-bearing system reached Kerala on May 24, marking its earliest onset over the Indian mainland since 2009, when it arrived on May 23.
Aided by strong low-pressure systems over the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal, monsoon advanced quickly over the next few days, covering parts up to central Maharashtra, including Mumbai, and the entire northeast by May 29.
However, this was followed by a prolonged stagnation of around 18 days, from May 29 to June 16.
The lack of rainfall since early June led to a sharp rise in temperatures, triggering heatwave conditions across large parts of northwest and central India since June 8-9.
Monsoon advanced quickly from June 16 to June 18 due to two low-pressure systems forming on June 17 -- one over West Bengal and the other over Gujarat.
The rain system usually makes its onset over Kerala by June 1, reaches Mumbai by June 11 and covers the entire country by July 8. It starts retreating from northwest India around September 17 and withdraws completely by October 15.
Meteorologists say the date of monsoon onset does not directly correlate with the total seasonal rainfall. An early or delayed arrival in Kerala or Mumbai does not necessarily indicate similar progress in other parts of the country.
They say monsoon is influenced by complex global, regional and local factors, and is marked by significant variability.
In May, the IMD had forecast that India was likely to receive 106 per cent of the long-period average (LPA) rainfall of 87 cm during the June-September monsoon season. Rainfall between 96 per cent and 104 per cent of this 50-year average is considered "normal".
Above-normal rainfall is expected in most parts of the country, except Ladakh, adjoining areas of Himachal Pradesh, the northeast and some parts of Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal and Odisha.
Some isolated areas in Punjab, Haryana, Kerala and Tamil Nadu may record below-normal rainfall.
Monsoon is crucial for India's agriculture sector, which supports the livelihood of around 42 per cent of the population and contributes 18.2 per cent to the GDP.
It also plays a key role in replenishing the reservoirs essential for drinking water and power generation.

Delhi considers adopting Mumbai's Dharavi model for slum redevelopment, prioritizing safety and organized transitions. CM Gupta highlights the aim to transform 675 clusters without indiscriminate demolitions.

Delhi slum redevelopment to follow Dharavi model

Delhi plans to implement Dharavi model for slum redevelopment, enhancing safety and organized housing transitions. CM Rekha Gupta emphasizes no indiscriminate demolitions. Manish Sisodia attends ACB summons.

Delhi plans to adopt Mumbai's Dharavi model for redeveloping slums. CM Rekha Gupta stresses safety for those near railway lines and clarifies that the aim isn't indiscriminate demolition.

Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Friday said the Delhi government is considering studying Mumbai's Dharavi model for slum redevelopment in the national capital.
Gupta also claimed that some people were spreading misinformation regarding the demolition of slum clusters in Delhi.
"If you construct a house near a railway line, the chief minister will not save you. I urge people to think about safety and security. If a railway accident happens or someone dies on the railway track, who will be responsible?" she said.
Gupta asserted that demolishing houses was not her government's aim. "But it should not happen that we keep on giving homes and people do not vacate slums," she added.
The chief minister said her government is likely to study Mumbai's Dharavi model for the redevelopment of 675 slum clusters in the national capital.
The redevelopment of Dharavi, a vast slum sprawl in the heart of Mumbai, will be carried out through a special purpose vehicle set up through a joint venture between the Adani Group and the Maharashtra government.
When asked about the Anti-Corruption Branch summons to former Delhi minister Manish Sisodia in the classroom construction case, she said, "Everyone will have to face the music. Arvind Kejriwal will also have to return from Punjab. We do not want fugitive leaders." Sisodia appeared before the ACB for questioning on Friday.

The EC has revised its voter card delivery to 15 days. New IT systems, real-time tracking, and SMS updates optimize the process while ensuring data security.

EC Reduces Voter Card Delivery Time to 15 Days

With a new SOP, the Election Commission cut voter identity card delivery time to 15 days, enabling real-time tracking and transparent, efficient service.

The EC has reduced the voter card delivery time to 15 days, with real-time tracking, SMS updates, and an efficient IT system, enhancing transparency and data security.

The Election Commission (EC) on Wednesday said voter identity cards will now be delivered to electors within 15 days, virtually halving the time taken.
Till now, it took a little over a month for the Elector Photo Identity Card (EPIC) to be delivered to the voters, officials pointed out.
The EC said a new standard operating procedure (SOP) has been introduced to ensure that voter cards are delivered within 15 days of new enrolment of an elector or change in particulars of an existing voter.
The new system will ensure real-time tracking of each stage right from the EPIC generation by the Electoral Registration Officer (ERO) till the delivery of the card to the elector through the Department of Posts (DoP), the poll authority said.
The electors will also receive notifications via SMS at each stage, keeping them informed about the status of their EPIC, it noted.
For this purpose, the EC has introduced a dedicated IT module on its recently launched ECINet platform.
The new IT platform will replace the existing process by re-engineering the current system and streamlining the workflow.
The DoP's Application Programme Interface (API) will be integrated with the ECINet for seamless delivery, the EC said.
This initiative aims to enhance service delivery while maintaining data security. In the past four months, the Commission has taken various initiatives for the benefit of electors and other stakeholders.

Delhi CM Rekha Gupta promotes Ayurveda over allopathy, announcing citywide yoga events for International Yoga Day, reflecting her commitment to traditional health practices.

Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Wednesday said "allopathic medicines", or conventional modern medicine, may sometimes have side effects but Ayurvedic treatments are generally free from them.
Speaking at the inauguration of an Ayurvedic cafe, Soma-The Ayurvedic Kitchen, at a hospital in Shalimar Bagh, Gupta also announced that the Delhi government will organise large-scale yoga programmes at 11 locations across the city on June 21 to mark International Yoga Day.
Food at the cafe will be based on the Ayurvedic diet, an official of the hospital said.
The CM urged people to visit the Maharishi Ayurvedic Hospital to get Ayurvedic treatment. Many foreigners who believe in Ayurveda often come to the hospital for treatment, she said.
Gupta said, "We are fortunate that our saints introduced us to Ayurveda through various scriptures. Today, along with allopathic medicine, we also have access to Ayurveda." The chief minister also remarked that while allopathic medicines may sometimes have side effects, Ayurvedic treatments are generally free from such issues.
Gupta slammed the previous AAP government for not giving importance to yoga. She said she would participate at a yoga event at Yamuna Bank.
"They never gave importance to yoga, as they associated it with Prime Minister Narendra Modi," she said, adding that Modi took yoga to the global stage, and "it is now followed around the world".
"We must all take care of our health. Only when we are healthy can we serve the nation," Gupta added.

New Electric Tourist Bus Tours in Delhi

Delhi launches electric buses for unique evening tours from the Prime Minister Museum to the War Memorial. Experience a guided journey through the city's rich history and landmarks.

Delhi introduces AC electric buses for tourists, starting mid-July for city tours with historical site commentary. Evening routes from the Prime Minister Museum to the War Memorial.

The Delhi government will soon start an AC electric bus service to ferry tourists from Pradhanmantri Sanghrahalya to the War Memorial on an 'evening' tour.
The buses will have a certain coloured design to make them distinct. The city's tourism department plans to start the service by mid-July, said an official.
"We are planning to start evening tours from the Prime Minister Museum to the War Memorial for tourists. Through this, we plan to target foreigners and tourists who come to Delhi. There are plans to hire the new nine-metre electric buses from the DTC," the official said.
Since the museum closes by 6 pm, we will start the tour from there, and then we will proceed to other locations, he said.
"The bus ride will be priced at Rs 500 for adults and Rs 300 for children aged between six and 12. There will be a tourist guide onboard, who will inform the visitors about the significance of the places they are being taken to," the person said.
"We plan to hire the bus from DTC, and we will see what the response is. We plan to use the bus for school picnics in the morning. For that, we plan to collaborate with the Directorate of Education," the official added.
In her budget speech, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta had announced that her government will develop a new tourist circuit covering the War Memorial, Kartavya Path, Prime Minister Museum and New Parliament House.
The tourism department had also discussed plans of reviving the Hop-on Hop-off (Ho Ho) buses model that was stalled in 2020 due to the COVID pandemic. However, it was felt that in a place like Delhi, the model is not sustainable.
"Abroad, the Ho-Ho buses are available at regular intervals. But in Delhi, that won't be possible considering the traffic situation.
"There were plans for having targeted tours &mdash; like having a tour of markets, heritage monuments, etc and having different colours of buses for that. But it was felt that people might visit heritage monuments, but won't like visiting malls or markets using the buses," the official added.

Rahul Gandhi highlights poor conditions in student hostels and scholarship delays affecting Dalit, ST, EBC, OBC, and minority communities.

Rahul Gandhi Highlights Student Hostel Issues

Rahul Gandhi calls attention to poor hostel conditions and scholarship delays facing Dalit, ST, EBC, OBC, and minority communities. Urges PM Modi for action.

Rahul Gandhi urges PM Modi to address poor hostel conditions and scholarship delays impacting marginalized students.

Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi flagging the "deplorable" conditions in residential hostels for Dalit, ST, EBC, OBC and minority students and the delay in post-matric scholarships for those from marginalised communities.
In his letter to Modi, Gandhi urged the PM to resolve these two critical issues which he said hinder education opportunities for the 90 per cent of students who are from marginalised communities.
"Firstly, the conditions in residential hostels for students from Dalit, ST, EBC, OBC and minority communities are deplorable. During a recent visit to Ambedkar Hostel in Darbhanga, Bihar, students complained about single rooms which 6-7 students were forced to share, unhygienic toilets, unsafe drinking water, lack of mess facilities, and no access to libraries or the internet," the Congress leader said.
"Secondly, post-matric scholarships for students from marginalised communities are plagued by delays and failures," Gandhi said and cited the example of Bihar where he claimed the scholarship portal was non-functional for three years and no student received a scholarship in 2021-22.
"Even thereafter, the number of Dalit students receiving scholarships fell by nearly half, from 1.36 lakh in FY23 to 0.69 lakh in FY24. Students further complain that the scholarship amounts are insultingly low," Gandhi said in his letter to Modi dated June 10.
"While I have cited examples from Bihar, these failures are widespread across the country. I urge the government to immediately take two actions to remedy these failures," he said.
Gandhi called for audit every hostel for students from Dalit, Scheduled Tribes (ST), Economically Backward Class (EBC), Other Backward Classes (OBC) and minority communities to ensure good infrastructure, sanitation, food and academic facilities; and allocate adequate funds to address deficiencies.
He also appealed for disbursement of post-matric scholarships on time, increasing scholarship amounts, and improving execution by working closely with state governments.
"I am sure you agree that India cannot progress unless youth from marginalised communities progress. I look forward to your positive response," Gandhi said in his letter to Modi.

A protest in New Delhi against Israeli detentions of Gaza-bound activists drew attention to Gaza's humanitarian crisis. Greta Thunberg's detention sparked calls for urgent international scrutiny, as Indian student bodies demand a reassessment of India-Israel relations.

Student Protest Over Activist Detentions in Delhi

Protests erupted at the Israeli Embassy in New Delhi over the detention of Gaza-bound aid activists. Greta Thunberg's involvement intensified calls for scrutiny of Israel's blockade. Indian student groups demand activist freedom and reassessment of ties with Israel.

Students protested Israeli Embassy detentions in New Delhi, spotlighting Gaza's crisis. Police detained protestors, sparking demands for activist release and a reassessment of India's Israel ties.

Students from various organisations protested outside the Israeli Embassy in New Delhi on Tuesday, expressing dissent over the detention of activists aboard a Gaza-bound aid boat.
The protesters were detained by the Delhi Police during the demonstration.
The protests were sparked by the recent detention of the aid boat, which was carrying activists, including Greta Thunberg, and was intercepted by the Israeli forces as part of the enforcement of a blockade that has intensified amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict, exacerbating humanitarian crises in Gaza.
The Freedom Flotilla Coalition organised this initiative to draw attention to the dire situation in the region. The Students' Federation of India (SFI) issued a statement condemning the police's actions, characterising the detentions as brutal and emphasising their commitment to demanding the immediate release of the activists.
"Our resolve is to demand the immediate release of the abducted activists aboard the Freedom Flotilla and our steadfastness in urging for a free Palestine. Numerous students and activists have been detained only for seeking the release of activists who were delivering life-saving aid to Gaza, in complete concurrence with international law. This is a grave blot to democracy," the statement said.
The All India Students' Association (AISA) activists, including the JNU Students' Union President Nitish Kumar, also protested and were detained.
"AISA condemns the brutal detention of students and demands boycott and divestment from Israel and end to the joint ventures, weapons deals and business exchange from the genocidal state of Israel by the Indian government," a statement said.

Congress leader Jairam Ramesh said that the early trends suggesting Prime Minister Narendra Modi trailing from his Varanasi seat showed that it was a moral and political defeat of the BJP.&nbsp;
"The prevailing trends show that the present (govt) is now becoming past. This is a massive moral and political defeat. This has never happened that the prime minister is trailing in his own seat. This is just a trailer in Varanasi. The PM kept on harping that this was just a trailer."

Delhi CM Rekha Gupta mandates immediate Maulana Azad Medical College hostel renovation, addressing student safety and infrastructure issues, with a focus on improved living conditions and enhanced security.

Delhi CM Rekha Gupta Orders MAMC Hostel Renovation

Following student concerns, Delhi CM Rekha Gupta directs immediate renovation of MAMC hostels, focusing on safety and living conditions improvements.

Delhi CM Rekha Gupta orders urgent MAMC hostel renovations, addressing previous neglect. Plans for improved security, lighting, and additional accommodation to support student well-being.

Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Monday ordered immediate renovation of hostels in the Maulana Azad Medical College (MAMC) after a meeting with students as she slammed the previous government over the poor state of facilities at the institution.
The discussion with MAMC students at the Delhi Secretariat focused on key concerns such as the dilapidated condition of hostels, campus security, poor lighting, shortage of security personnel, illegal encroachments, and the need to ensure a fear-free environment for students, an official statement said.
Gupta directed all concerned officials to take immediate and concrete measures. Senior officials from the Health Department, Public Works Department (PWD), college administration, and student union representatives were present during the meeting, it said.
Last week, Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena, along with Gupta and Health Minister Pankaj Singh, chaired a meeting to review the security and other infrastructure in MAMC, Lok Nayak Hospital, GB Pant Hospital, and the Guru Nanak Eye Centre Complex situated in the heart of the national capital.
During the meeting it was found that there were lapses in the security of the students and doctors and there was an acute shortage of accommodation.
Civil infrastructure is in shambles in these hospitals and there is a severe lack of space due to encroachments, officials had informed the LG in the meeting.
Gupta met the doctors on Monday at Delhi Secretariat.
"I am shocked at the irresponsibility of the previous educated governments. It&rsquo;s appalling to see the poor state of such a prestigious institution like Maulana Azad Medical College and the condition of the students studying here," she said.
Students highlighted the poor condition of hostel walls and ceilings, which pose a risk to life and safety, the statement said, adding that the lack of adequate lighting at night inside the campus also makes it unsafe.
Female students particularly raised concerns over the shortage of security guards, insufficient facilities, and an unsafe environment. Encroachments within the campus were also reported as a daily obstacle.
Expressing deep concern over the state of MAMC hostels, Gupta said that the seven hostels built between 1966 and 1990 were designed for only 1,200 students. Currently around 3,200 students are residing there in extremely cramped and substandard conditions with eight beds in a room, shared cupboards and no provision for basic amenities like study tables.
She termed this situation as "gravely concerning" and indicative of the severe negligence and lack of accountability on the part of previous governments.
Gupta directed PWD officials to immediately begin repair and renovation work of the hostels to improve living conditions. She further directed that high-intensity LED street lights be installed across the campus to enhance night-time safety, the statement added.
Additionally, 24x7 CCTV surveillance and increased deployment of security personnel will strengthen overall security. A special drive will be launched to ensure smoother movement and a safer environment within the campus.
She also directed to expedite plan for an additional hostel which has been pending for long time. Gupta directed officials to submit progress reports every 15 days to ensure regular monitoring and accountability.
She also said that she will personally visit the MAMC campus to inspect the situation and engage directly with students. "Students of prestigious institutions like MAMC are our future, and we will extend every possible support to them," Gupta added.

AAP's Atishi accuses BJP of launching 200 false cases over a decade against AAP leaders, with no financial recovery.

Atishi Accuses BJP of 200 False Cases Against AAP

Atishi slams BJP for allegedly filing over 200 false cases against AAP leaders in a ten-year campaign. Highlights non-recovery of funds, Supreme Court critique, and accuses BJP of diverting from governance issues.

Atishi alleges BJP's decade-long false case campaign against AAP, with no fiscal recovery, highlighting governance issues.

AAP leader Atishi on Friday launched a sharp attack on the BJP government at the Centre and in Delhi, alleging a decade-long political vendetta involving over 200 false cases against party leaders.
Her remarks came as former Delhi chief minister Manish Sisodia appeared before the ACB for questioning in an alleged graft case related to the construction of classrooms in Delhi government schools.
At a press conference, Atishi said, "In the last 10 years, BJP's ED, CBI, IT and Delhi police have filed more than 200 false cases against AAP leaders, but till date not even a single rupee has been recovered." She cited the Supreme Court's remarks calling central investigative agencies "caged parrots" during AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal's bail hearing as proof of political misuse of institutions.
AAP leader Satyendar Jain had also appeared before the agency on June 6 in connection with the same case.
Atishi accused the BJP of using diversion tactics to cover up its failures on the governance front.
"There are long power cuts across Delhi, water shortage in homes while roads remain waterlogged. But instead of solving these issues, the BJP is busy running fake cases to mislead the public," Atishi alleged.
She further charged that the BJP is colluding with the "education mafia" to shut down government schools and promote private institutions.
"They want to shut down Delhi's government schools under the guise of scams that don't exist. Headlines don't prove corruption," she said.
There was no immediate response from the BJP over the allegations.
Hitting out at Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, Atishi asked, "Apart from painting mohalla clinics and renaming them health temples, what has she really given to the people of Delhi?"
