AAP's win is Narendra Modi's defeat, says Anna Hazare

S C Vats, who is the chairman of an institute in the Pitampura area of Northwest Delhi... In her complaint lodged at Maurya Enclave police station on January 28, the 33-year-old victim has alleged that Vats raped her on several occasions while she was working at the institute...

Relief for Capital's street vendors as Delhi government plans protected 'vending zones'
Nearly five lakh street vendors in the national Capital were relieved on Thursday, after the Delhi Government allowed them to operate till they get registered.

The Director of Local Bodies, which coordinates with the civic bodies in Delhi, has been asked to ensure no existing vendor is evicted.

It is noteworthy that a Bill regarding protection and regularisation of street vendors has already been passed by the Centre. But nearly 90 per cent of vendors in Delhi have so far not procured the licence.
As vendors note, the law has not been implemented properly and they continue to be harassed by the civic authorities and local police.
