India's capital Delhi is blanketed in toxic smog every autumn, but the pollution is already so bad that it's drawn protests as authorities tell students to stay home.

One of India’s most prestigious universities has been accused of compromising its academic freedom by cancelling a seminar on democracy the same day it issued a directive to staff to promote a summit on cow welfare.

The move follows a weekend protest where police detained dozens of people demanding cleaner air, a rare public demonstration against pollution in the Indian capital.

Those responsible for the explosion “will not be spared,” Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India said. The blast killed at least eight people near a subway station at evening rush hour.

NEW DELHI, Nov 16, (Xinhua): At least 10 people died and seven others were injured in two separate road accidents reported in the past 12 hours in India, confirmed police sources on Sunday.

India will open its market to duty-free imports of soyabean, corn, and certain dairy products, while the two sides are finalising reciprocal tariff rates on industrial and agricultural goods.

On the weather side, Delhi recorded a maximum temperature of 26.4 degree Celsius, which is 2.1 degree Celsius below normal, and a minimum temperature of 10.2 degree Celsius on Friday.

When the first season of Delhi Crime won the International Emmy Award for Best Drama Series in 2020, it proved that Netflix India could produce shows that earned accolades on the global stage. Season 2 scored another International Emmy nomination for the show’s star, veteran actress Shefali Shah.
