This is the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I'm Flora Swain.
Today is the 22nd of August and here are the headlines.
The Supreme Court today resumed hearing matters related to the alleged rape and murder of a woman doctor at R G Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata. The Court after examining a report filed by Kolkata police, questioned the timing, sequence of registration of unnatural death cases, and postmortem. It has urged doctors, who are on strike, to return to work and assured them that no adverse action will be taken against them. Meanwhile, the CBI has been interrogating two key individuals — Sanjay Roy, the civic volunteer, who is the main accused, and Ghosh.
Moving on to Maharashtra, rxpressing shock over the Badlapur school sexual abuse case involving two four-year-old girls, the Bombay High Court today slammed the local police for dereliction of duty. It also questioned the school authorities for not reporting the incident on time, and asked what is the use of speaking about the right of education when schools are not safe. The court slammed the police machinery for not working “unless there is a public outburst”.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said no conflict can be resolved on the battlefield, while also assuring all possible cooperation from India for restoration of peace and stability, as the Russia-Ukraine war crosses the 900-day mark. During a statement issued during his visit to Poland and a day ahead of his visit to Ukraine, the Prime Minister voiced “deep concern” over the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and West Asia. “The conflicts in Ukraine and West Asia are matters of deep concern for all of us. It is India’s firm belief that a solution to any problem cannot be found on the battlefield,” Modi said after talks with Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk.
At least 10 people were killed and one was missing in landslides and flood-related incidents in Tripura since Sunday. An official statement said that at least 32,750 people have taken shelter in 330 relief camps due to heavy rainfall. Following a request from Chief Minister Manik Saha to Union Home Minister Amit Shah, four additional NDRF teams arrived in the state to assist in the rescue operations. The northeastern state witnessed as many as 1,900 landslides causing disruption in road connectivity.
On the third day of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Hindu priest Rakesh Bhatt from the Sri Siva Vishnu Temple in Maryland opened the proceedings with a Vedic prayer. As chants of “Om Shanti Shanti” filled the hall, Bhatt sought blessings for a united nation. Bhatt urged Americans to elect a leader who embodies the Vedic concept of ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam,’ or “the whole world is one family.” Meanwhile, US President Kamala Harris is expected to formally accept nomination for her presidential candidature for the Democrats on the final day of the convention.
