India and Nepal held joint meetings to discuss cross-border railway projects, focusing on passenger services for the Janakpur-Ayodhya route. Discussions also included the Raxaul-Kathmandu link and technical support for Nepal's East-West Railway.
Two North-East women reported molestation and assault by a group of men in Nehru Place, Delhi, after facing catcalling. The FIR details racist slurs and a physical attack. Separately, a three-year-old girl was allegedly sexually assaulted by school staff in Janakpuri; the accused has been arrested but granted bail.
Hundreds of residents in Janakpuri, West Delhi have been suffering from contaminated water flowing through taps for almost five months, with the problem becoming continuous over the past six months. The water smells like a sewer, turns black when filled in buckets, and has caused stomach infections and skin diseases among residents, particularly the elderly. Despite complaints to the MLA, councillor, and Delhi Jal Board officials, no permanent solution has been found. DJB has identified a surcharge condition in the local sewer as the cause and begun replacement work.
