India Slams Pakistan’s Nuclear Record; Delhi Implements Measures Against Pollution
India strongly criticised Pakistan for its “illegal and opaque” nuclear history, highlighting concerns over proliferation and regional security. The statement came amid renewed international scrutiny of Pakistan’s nuclear programme. In New Delhi, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal announced staggered office timings for government employees to combat severe air pollution, which has pushed the city’s air quality into the “hazardous” category. The move aims to reduce vehicular congestion during peak hours and curb emissions. Meanwhile, nationwide, preparations continue for Diwali celebrations under strict environmental advisories to limit pollution. Other top stories include Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s inauguration of four new Vande Bharat Express trains and India’s diplomatic efforts to secure the release of an Indian national captured by militia forces in Sudan. These developments reflect India’s active engagement in governance, diplomacy, and environmental management as the nation faces multiple challenges.
