Delhi has lifted all Covid curbs with a drop in cases over the last few weeks, and the schools won’t have online classes from April 1, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said on Friday. The national capital saw a huge surge in daily infections, driven by the Omicron variant, in January as India was hit by the third wave. Bengaluru and Mumbai were among other big cities that saw a spike.
Russia’s offensive on Ukraine continued for the second day as Kyiv, the capital city, woke up to explosions for another morning. Ukraine slammed Russia over the “horrific Russian strike”. With the Kremlin waging war on Ukraine, the United States, the UK, Japan, Taiwan, and Canada announced sanctions as punitive measures. Moscow, however, has not given an intended response yet.
Tax searches were conducted on Friday at premises of top BMC official Yashwant Jadhav, a Shiv Sena leader. He is the latest Sena leader to come on the tax department’s radar. The action against him comes days after Maharashtra minister Nawab Malik was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate.
India is organising evacuation flights for its citizens – stuck in Ukraine amid Russia offensive – from neigbouring countries, officials said Friday, after Kviv had shut its airspace. The country is also chalking out land evacuation routes from Hungary, Poland, Slovakia Republic and Romania
