People’s Union for Democratic Rights welcomes the 18 October Delhi High Court judgment by justice Pradeep Nand­rajog and justice Manmohan Singh on the Delhi Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) ­system. The judgment rejected a public ­interest litigation (PIL) filed by an NGO, Nyaya Bhoomi, that demanded the scrapping of the BRT system introduced between Moolchand and Amdedkar Nagar, a stretch of 5.8 km and cancelling the ­seven BRT corridors planned by the ­Delhi government.

peaceful protest against the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Project in Tamil Nadu, particularly since 8 May 2012. It condemns the policy of using tactics of threat and intimidation to crush a democratic movement. (Letters)
