What step is the Delhi Government planning to take to increase the carrying capacity of the Yamuna River?
Approach NGT for approval to dredge the riverThe Delhi Government plans to approach the National Green Tribunal (NGT) to seek permission for dredging the Yamuna River, which is currently not allowed. Dredging will help remove accumulated silt and waste, thereby enhancing the river’s water storage and flow capacity. This initiative aims to mitigate urban flooding near riverbanks caused by clogged regulator drains. A detailed project report will follow NGT approval, and prior efforts like desilting the Wazirabad pond were delayed due to monsoon conditions. The DJB had already floated a Rs 25 crore tender to remove 3.63 lakh cubic metres of silt to boost raw water storage by 100 MGD.

Who alleged that a nexus of dog feeders and NGOs is responsible for the rising stray dog menace in India?
Vijay GoelFormer Union Minister and Lok Abhiyan President Vijay Goel accused a nexus of dog feeders, NGOs, and vested interests of perpetuating the growing problem of stray dogs in India. Speaking at a press conference in Noida, he claimed these groups are undermining public safety, citing over 120 million stray dogs — the highest globally — leading to rampant dog bites and rabies cases. He criticized inconsistent Supreme Court rulings and highlighted corruption in sterilisation and vaccination drives. Goel also opposed the Uttar Pradesh government’s circular on dog feeding, stating it violates court orders, and announced plans to take the matter to the Supreme Court.

Which animal was used by smugglers to transport illicit liquor across the Delhi-Faridabad border, recently busted by Delhi Police?
CamelThe Delhi Police busted a smuggling gang that resorted to using camels to transport nearly 2,000 quarters of illicit liquor from Faridabad to Sangam Vihar. The operation was conducted late Thursday night in the forest belt of Sangam Vihar after intelligence input. The bootleggers believed that using camels at night in rural-forest fringes would not attract suspicion, as such animals are occasionally seen in those areas. Five men were arrested, and three camels were seized during the operation. The accused had shifted to this method due to increased vigilance on traditional smuggling routes.
