Srinagar court asks for report on seizures

Vehicles have been detained illegally
A court in Srinagar has directed the Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) to submit a report on the mass confiscation of two-wheelers in the city, at a time when Union Home Minister Amit Shah was scheduled to visit the Union Territory in October.
“The SSP is directed to call the report from all police stations within Srinagar regarding the issue within 10 days,” a Mobile Magistrate, Traffic, said in an order.

The Centre has rejected reports that the definition of the Aravalli hills was changed to permit large-scale mining, citing a Supreme Court-ordered freeze on new leases. It said a court-approved framework will bring over 90% of the Aravalli region under protected areas and strengthen safeguards against illegal mining. The clarification follows controversy over the “100-metre” criterion used to define hills across states.
