Which new security technology is being used for the first time at the Red Fort during Independence Day 2025 celebrations in Delhi?
Under-vehicle surveillance systems (UVSS)For the first time during the Independence Day 2025 celebrations, Delhi Police has deployed Under-vehicle Surveillance Systems (UVSS) at five parking areas around the Red Fort. These systems use cameras and scanners to detect explosives, weapons, or contraband hidden under vehicles, significantly enhancing checkpoint security. This measure is part of a multi-layered security plan involving facial recognition, drone detection, and CCTV surveillance. The deployment aims to prevent any potential threats during the Prime Minister's address at the historic site. Only invited guests and labelled vehicles are permitted near the venue to ensure strict access control.

What reform allows Delhi Police officers to testify in court without visiting the courtroom physically?
Video conferencing from police stationsDelhi Police officers can now provide evidence in court via video conferencing directly from police stations, following a notification by Lt. Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena. All 226 police stations have been designated as authorized locations for such depositions under the new Nyaya Shruti rules based on the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita. This reform is expected to save time and resources, as nearly 2,000 officers previously had to appear in courts daily. The Union Home Minister Amit Shah emphasized this change to improve police efficiency, while ensuring that only police personnel—not witnesses—can use this facility. This marks a significant digital transformation in India’s judicial and law enforcement processes.

Why are animal activists in Noida concerned about the Supreme Court's order on stray dogs?
Lack of infrastructure to shelter 1.5 lakh dogsAnimal activists in Noida, including representatives from shelters like Hope and Speechless Souls and House of Stray, have expressed serious concerns over the Supreme Court’s order to relocate stray dogs to shelters within eight weeks. They argue that there is insufficient infrastructure—such as shelter homes, veterinary staff, medicines, and food—to accommodate approximately 1.5 lakh street dogs in Noida. There are fears that dogs may be dumped in remote areas without food or water, leading to fights and deaths. They advocate for sterilization and vaccination as more humane and sustainable solutions. The lack of preparation and resources makes the relocation plan potentially fatal for the animals.

Registered an FIR under BNS Section 223Delhi Police registered a First Information Report (FIR) under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), including Section 223, which deals with disobedience to orders promulgated by public servants.

The protest involved animal lovers, feeders, and caregivers concerned about the welfare of the animals. Former LG Najeeb Jung criticized the FIR as 'childish' and urged Police Commissioner SBK Singh to withdraw it. The incident highlights the tension between enforcement of court orders and public dissent on animal welfare issues.
