Good morning, The Big Story The Supreme Court has put on hold, until further orders, the implementation of the three laws and named a committee to negotiate between the farmers and Centre. However, farmer unions said they would not participate in the consultation process as the members of the court-appointed committee have publicly been in favour of the farm laws. Only in the Express Pratap Bhanu Mehta writes on the Supreme Court’s recent stay on the Centre’s farm laws: “The court’s action, at first sight, is a violation of separation of powers.

The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) led by former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu is increasingly adopting a pro-Hindu stance to stave off the BJP, which is trying to get a foothold in the state. Discretion of idols and vandalism at temples in Andhra gave TDP the opportunity to position itself as a protector of Hindu traditions. The law has finally caught up 14 years on for a five-storey, 40-room hotel in Himachal Pradesh's Mcleodganj. The hotel was ordered to be razed by the Supreme Court after it was found to be illegally constructed on forest land meant for a bus stand complex to ease traffic congestion. “We take care of ourselves for the match not to come and shed blood for THIS (sic)."

Must Read Whether at Chapel Road or Lokhandwala, anyone who has been on Mumbai’s streets has probably encountered a Tyler graffiti. With sprays and stencils, Tyler’s provocative murals are pithy barbs — unhesitatingly taking on sociopolitical issues, world leaders, gross capitalism and fascism. The anonymous street artist, often called “Mumbai’s Banksy”, will have his first solo exhibition at Method in Kala Ghoda and Bandra.
