What unique measure has the Delhi Forest Department adopted ahead of Republic Day 2026 to prevent bird strikes during aerial displays?
Using 1,275 kg of boneless chicken to divert black kitesTo ensure flight safety during Republic Day flypasts by Indian Air Force jets, the Delhi Forest Department initiated a wildlife management strategy involving feeding black kites with 1,275 kg of boneless chicken. This method diverts the birds to designated low-altitude feeding zones away from sensitive air corridors. The shift from buffalo meat to chicken aims to improve event management while controlling bird activity effectively. The exercise will run from January 15 to 26 across 20 hotspot locations including Red Fort and Jama Masjid. This proactive step helps minimize the risk of bird-aircraft collisions during national celebrations.

How many vehicles can the newly introduced 'box parking' system in Delhi accommodate across 56 identified locations?

The initiative aims to reduce traffic congestion, lower vehicular pollution, and ensure smoother traffic flow. The total capacity of these parking boxes is 2,984 vehicles, addressing only a fraction of Delhi’s massive vehicle population but representing a structured approach to urban parking management. This move responds to public complaints about daily traffic snarls caused by haphazard parking.

What major recommendation did Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami make regarding the Ankita Bhandari murder case?

The victim’s parents had also persistently demanded a CBI investigation, citing lack of trust in state-level handling. The case, involving allegations of corruption and abuse of power, gained national attention due to its political ramifications and perceived lapses in justice. The CM’s recommendation signals responsiveness to public sentiment and judicial transparency. This move is expected to bring greater scrutiny and impartiality to the investigation.
