P S Krishnan, bureaucrat behind landmark social justice legislation, dies

Sharing it for all the new folks from #India who have joined

The NGT has disposed a petition challenging ongoing land consolidation in Kot, Faridabad, where Ramdev's Patanjali group has allegedely bought >1000 acres of protected, common Aravalli land through shadowy power-of-attorney transactions.
