Delhi: 11-year-old gang-raped by two seniors in school washroom, case registered
The incident was reported from Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan School in Delhi.

In yet another chilling incident, an 11-year-old girl was allegedly gang-raped by two seniors inside the school washroom. The incident was reported from Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan School in Delhi.
According to the reports, the alleged incident took place in July but the matter was highlighted by the Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) on Thursday after the victim approached the police on Tuesday.
The authorities have registered a case against the accused. The school’s regional office has also ordered an inquiry into the incident.
DCW has called the alleged gang rape a serious matter and has issued a notice to Delhi Police and the school principal for not reporting the incident. The commission has demanded to know from the school management the reason behind hiding the incident.

However, according to school officials, neither the victim nor her parents informed the principal about the incident. They claimed the incident came to light only when the victim approached the police. The regional office of the school has requested an investigation into the situation. The school further said that the issue was also not raised at a parent-teacher meeting that was held after the incident.
DCW Chairperson Swati Maliwal said the minor has alleged that she was gang-raped by two students of classes 11 and 12 in the school’s washroom. The incident happened when the victim was on her way to her classroom when she collided with the two boys.
She claimed to have apologized to the boys, but they began to abuse her and pulled her into a toilet. She said that the boys raped her and then locked the toilet door from the inside. She claimed that when she alerted a teacher about the incident, the teacher informed her that the boys had been expelled and that the incident had supposedly been covered up.
Police are currently questioning the faculty and suspected students. Additionally, the DCW has requested an action-taken report from the police.

On Thursday morning, Delhi’s air quality was recorded as severe. However, because of the possibility of somewhat improving weather, a minor improvement is anticipated shortly before Diwali.

Environment Minister Gopal Rai has convened a meeting with all ministers to examine the issue of air pollution on Thursday, as Delhi continues to experience a number of air quality issues. According to officials, the meeting would start at 12:30 pm at the Delhi Secretariat.

On Thursday morning, Delhi’s air quality was recorded as severe. However, because of the possibility of somewhat improving weather, a minor improvement is anticipated shortly before Diwali.
The Air Quality Index (AQI) for Delhi was 426 at 4 p.m. on Wednesday, and it was 420 at 8 a.m. on Thursday. The Indo-Gangetic plains were covered in clusters of red dots on the Central Pollution Control Board’s AQI map, which denotes hazardous air quality.
Extremely poor air quality was also observed in nearby Ghaziabad (369), Gurugram (396), Noida (394), Greater Noida (450), and Faridabad (413).
A new western disturbance sweeping northwest India will cause a shift in wind direction from northwest to southeast, which will assist lower the amount of smoke from stubble burning, but slow wind speed will offset this, according to officials at the India Meteorological Department.
The official said the wind speed will increase from between 5 to 6 kmph to approximately 15 kmph on November 11 when the western disturbance passes. This will aid in the dispersal of pollutants prior to Diwali.
The Delhi government postponed the December winter vacation for all schools on Wednesday due to the increasing levels of air pollution. The new dates for the holiday are November 9–November 18.
Gopal Rai said the Supreme Court’s rulings have prohibited the introduction of app-based taxis into Delhi.

The Delhi government’s automobile rationing system, which aims to reduce traffic pollution, was questioned by the supreme court on Tuesday, calling it all optics and questioning its effectiveness.

Delhi Pollution: BS3 petrol, BS4 diesel cars banned in capital, will be fined Rs 20,000
Delhi environment minister Gopal Rai has written a letter to Union Minister Bhupender Yadav, urging him to prohibit the entry of vehicles not compliant with BS-VI standards from neighbouring states in Delhi-NCR.

The AAP led Delhi government has issued orders banning vehicles with BS3 petrol and BS4 diesel. An immediate fine of ₹20,000 would be implemented in case of violation, according to a government statement. The measure is aimed at curbing the deteriorating air quality in the national capital and thereby safeguarding public health from the detrimental effects of pollution.
Reacting to the rising pollution concerns, the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) has implemented GRAP III rules in the Delhi-NCR region. The regulations encompass a comprehensive prohibition on most construction and demolition activities within Delhi NCR, except for emergency services, government construction projects, and those of strategic significance.
Furthermore, Delhi environment minister Gopal Rai has written a letter to Union Minister Bhupender Yadav, urging him to prohibit the entry of vehicles not compliant with BS-VI standards from neighbouring states in Delhi-NCR.
The Delhi Environment Minister said that he is writing a letter to the central government urging that the union environment minister should call an emergency meeting of the environment ministers of all five states immediately as the orders of CAQM are not being implemented in other states.
He added that rules are being made and CAQM is giving directions, but in the whole NCR, rules are being violated. He underlined that pollution is the problem of the whole of North India. Earlier on Friday, AAP minister Gopal Rai said that it is wrong to think that Delhi government alone can control pollution completely. He questioned whether the Union Minister, Bhupender Yadav and the Bharatiya Janata Party holds no responsibility.
On Saturday, the System of Air Quality and Weather Forecasting and Research (SAFAR)-India stated that the overall air quality in Delhi has continued to be in the severe category for the third consecutive day at 504 in the morning.
Notably, Delhi has already prohibited the use of petrol-powered vehicles that have been in operation for over 15 years and diesel-powered vehicles that have been in use for more than a decade.
