Gujarat government has mobilised nearly the entire state machinery in response to the 12 June AI 171 crash that left 242 people onboard the aircraft—except one—dead.
The government has set up a dedicated team led by an officer of deputy collector rank to coordinate with the foreign nationals when they arrive in Ahmedabad.
The state govt has said that the 8 January judgement in the case which quashed the remittance of the 11 convicts and held the state guilty of 'usurpation of power' was an 'error on record'.
Additional Solicitor General S V Raju said commission of heinous crime does not debar one from benefits of remission, bench asked why jails are overcrowded, particularly by undertrials.
While this is K. Kailashnathan's 9th extension in the role of principal chief advisor to Gujarat CM, chief advisor Hasmukh Adhia & advisor S. S. Rathore are fresh appointments.
BJP veteran & former Union minister questions how Gujarat government released the rape and murder convicts, and says he'll speak to PM Modi to seek his intervention.
11 convicts sentenced to life for committing gang rape and murder during the 2002 Gujarat riots were released this week after state government approved their remission application.

Kusum Vidhyalaya in Valsad has been mired in controversy since a talent hunt on its premises on 14 February included 'My ideal — Nathuram Godse’ as an elocution subject.

Over generations, Bihar’s bane has been its utter lack of urbanisation. But now, even Bihar is urbanising. Or let’s say, rurbanising. Two decades under Nitish Kumar have created a new elite in its cities.
Indian govt officials last month skipped Turkish National Day celebrations in Delhi, in a message to Ankara following its support for Islamabad, particularly during Operation Sindoor.
Bihar is blessed with a land more fertile for revolutions than any in India. Why has it fallen so far behind then? Constant obsession with politics is at the root of its destruction.
Excellent job done by the team @Theprint. It clearly looks like the reporters were on the ground, talking to right people who matters and gave a detailed perspectives.

Kudos for Team @Theprint & of course to Govt of Gujarat for mobilising and managing the aftermath of disaster so well.
