Improvements will be made soon, but it will take time. “The new pipe is scheduled to arrive tomorrow. But residents should be a little patient because the installation and connection is estimated to take five days. God willing, the water will flow normally again in one week,” said Andre. Andre emphasized his commitment to continue to ensure that the improvement process goes without obstacles. “We will continue to monitor.

Meanwhile, Andre said he would also send a water tanker to residents. “God willing, we will send a water tank today to meet the daily water needs. Hopefully we can get through this well and return to normal,” he concluded. (acd/ega)

A strange crime story has emerged from the capital city of Delhi, which has everything from melodrama, suspense and a secret conspiracy. A school teacher fell in love with the female principal of his own school. She wanted to make him hers at all costs, but failed every time. Then she committed a crime that landed her in prison. Let’s know the whole story… A 22-year-old woman living in Sadar Bazaar was appointed as a contract teacher in a school. She also studied in the same school earlier. Another teacher also worked there, who later became the principal. The contract teacher already had a crush on her. When she became the principal, the contract teacher’s love for her increased further. She constantly called and texted the principal, to which the principal’s husband objected. He asked the principal to stay away. The principal agreed. The teacher didn’t like it. Then he started doing strange things to get the principal to talk to him. At first, the woman played an emotional game. He spread a rumor around the school that he had cancer. He made a video of it and sent it to the school staff and students. But when the principal did not respond, he took the next step. Then the female teacher spread the rumor of her death. He posted a viral photo of himself wearing a wreath, making it look like he was dead. When the principal did not pay attention to this, he took more dangerous steps. Obscene images were created using AI tools. After the drama and rumors failed, the girl targeted another teacher close to the principal. He used AI tools to create indecent photos of her and created a fake Instagram account in her name. When the principal realized that someone had created a fake ID, he filed a complaint with the police. The principal said that someone created a fake Instagram account in her name and uploaded AI-generated photoshopped photos on it. Additionally, these photos were sent to school staff and students to tarnish their image. After the complaint, investigation was started under the supervision of DCP (North) Raja Banthia. How the accused female teacher was arrested: The police traced the accused through IP log, registered email address and mobile number. Within a few hours, they found the accused teacher. He initially tried to deceive, but digital evidence exposed his entire conspiracy. He was arrested later on Wednesday. The police registered a case under sections 319 (cheating), 336(2) (forgery) and 356(2) (defamation) of the Indian Penal Code. Slips with strange marks found: When the accused woman was arrested, three strange slips were found from her. These slips had strange markings, numbers and the names of the accused teacher and principal. The police believe that these may be things related to witchcraft.

Amid bad relations with the US due to tariffs, the Indian government has taken a big decision on China. India has decided to give fast track visas to professionals coming from China. India plans to issue business visas to Chinese companies within a month, reducing the time it takes for visa verification. “We have removed the administrative verification process, and business visas can now be issued within four weeks,” two officials said on condition of anonymity, according to a Reuters report. Meanwhile, China’s foreign ministry said it has noted India’s positive steps to facilitate people-to-people transactions, which are in the mutual interest of both sides. However, this move is seen as a major step towards improving relations between the two countries. Indian companies are said to be losing billions of rupees due to shortage of technicians. Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said that China is ready to continue regular talks and consultations with India. Relations between India and China deteriorated in 2020 as border tensions increased along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in eastern Ladakh. The confrontation began in early May 2020 when Chinese troops advanced into the disputed areas. China has objected to India’s road construction near the Galwan River Valley and Pangong Lake, leading to massive confrontations and clashes between the armies of the two sides. The tension reached its peak on June 15, 2020, when Indian and Chinese troops clashed in the Galwan Valley. 20 Indian soldiers were martyred in this violent clash. This was the first incident on LAC since 1975 in which lives were lost on both sides. However, relations have gradually improved over the past five years through regular interactions at the diplomatic and military levels, especially the meeting of corps commanders of the two countries along the LAC.
