The growth in value is despite a six per cent decline in volume and the supply chain disruption triggered by the Covid lockdowns during the year.

NEW DELHI: The Delhi High Court Tuesday refused to look into the issue of proposed march by farmers into the national capital on Wednesday (May 26) as it marks six months of their protest against the new farm laws.

NEW DELHI: The Delhi high court Friday said there was no use of making a waiting list for hospitals beds on the Delhi government s website as a person goes there in emergency and nobody is going to wait in these Covid-19 pandemic days.
The high court also suggested that patients from lower strata could be given basic medicines like paracetamol along with steamers and thermometers as immediate Covid help.
A bench of Justices Vipin Sanghi and Rekha Palli said it will be a counter-productive thing to have waiting list for hospital beds while rejecting a submission by an advocate that waiting list should be updated on the bed portal of the government.
