people flocked to the Kumar Basti, bang opposite the Press Enclave in
Saket colony, to buy a variety of clay pots as Divali approached.

authorities repair a sewer line that remains blocked for almost one
year.

displaying his bravery and loyalty to Maharana Pratap of Mewar against
the Mughal Emperor Akbar in the battle of Haldighati (1576).
