MCD

Buried deep in financial crisis,
the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) today is unable to take up
any development work in unauthorised colonies which have come into
existence haphazardly in different areas of the Capital.
Music
treat at Qutab
New Delhi, October 21
The still night and the
star-spangled sky provided the right ambience for melody to bloom. And
bloom it did on yesterday with stalwarts of the music world Shubha
Mudgal and Wadali brothers lifting their performance to new heights at
the Qutab Festival. The melody lovers were treated to Sufi and Nirjan
music and also to the traditional Qawwali and were mesmerised.
Tabs
needed on unfettered security agencies
New Delhi, October 21
Gun-totting security guards is a
recurring sight these days. Most of them are employees of private
security agencies, which have mushroomed in the Capital in the last

States
follow different laws
New Delhi, October 21
Narcotics control agencies in India are ill-equipped and
under-staffed with no proper infrastructure and funds. There
is much concern among the country’s narcotics control
agencies like Narcotics Control Bureau, Central Bureau of
Narcotics, and the Delhi Police narcotics cell that they lack
a proper system to deal with the drug peddlers effectively. |
Drugs
killing them slowly, but who cares?
New Delhi, October 21
Why Drugs? The reply from a large number of boys and girls in
the Indian capital would vary from “it’s different” to
“good to get stoned” to “it’s a walk in the clouds.”
That the malaise runs deep is revealed in the telling
statement of a drug dealer: “Alcohol is not the way to
socialise anymore, drugs have taken its place. |
