Delhi’s air quality in ‘very poor’ category, cold wave persists
Delhi witnessed yet another day of toxic air on Sunday, with the Air Quality Index (AQI) remaining in the ‘very poor’ category for the second consecutive day.
Amid outrage over the alleged rape of a 34-year-old woman from Odisha in Delhi’s Sarai Kale Khan Area some four days back, the Odisha police on Monday said it is in touch with its Delhi counterparts seeking early arrest of the perpetrators of the dastardly crime.
The victim after being sexually assaulted was dumped in a deserted spot and was later found in a semi-conscious state by a passerby. “The incident regarding sexual assault of an Odia girl at Delhi is being followed up with seriousness and sensitivity. Odisha Police is in touch with the family members of the survivor and is also following up progress of investigation with Delhi Police.
