As much as a mask is an absolute necessity in the Covid-19 times, it is advised and ruled out to wear it at all times when moving out of your house, but, quite often, and still Delhi-NCR residents are being caught not wearing a mask. Here are some epic reasons Delhites when caught without a mask. Read, and laugh out, but don’t follow suit.
Crime Branch has busted a gang that was allegedly procuring toffees laced with THC from the US through the dark net and selling them mostly to college students.
The payments were made through Bitcoins and the consignments were received through couriers. A BCom student and a BBA graduate, in their early 20s, have been arrested. Cops have also seized a Honda City car, 50 gram malana charas, 100 gram THC toffees and 450 gram imported marijuana.
While one of the accused, Avinash Jain, is a resident of Vasant Kunj, his aide, a 25-year-old BBA graduate, has been identified as Shashank Gupta from Inderpuri.
ACP (crime) Shibesh Singh said his team had received information that some people were involved in illegal import of marijauna and other contraband items from the US and their supply across NCR. A tip-off was also received that Jain would go to supply marijuana to a contact. A trap was laid and both Jain and Gupta were arrested from Vasant Kunj in their car, Singh said.

The Election Commission of India will formally launch the e-EPIC (Electronic Electoral Photo Identity Card) programme on January 25, the National Voter’s Day.
e-EPIC is a non-editable secure portable document format (PDF) version of the EPIC and will have a secured QR code with image and demographics like serial number, part number, etc. E-EPIC can be downloaded on a mobile or a computer and can be digitally stored. This is in addition to physical IDs being issued for fresh registration.
The e-EPIC initiative would be launched in two phases. In the first phase from January 25 to 31, all new voters who have applied for the voter-ID card and registered their mobile numbers in Form-6 will be able to download the e-EPIC by simply authenticating their mobile number. The mobile numbers should be unique and not be previously registered in the ECI’s electoral rolls.
“The second phase will start from February 1. It will be open for the general voters. All those who have given their mobile numbers (linked one) they can also download their e-EPIC,” ECI official said.
“The delays, losing cards and not been able to get the voter-ID cards is an issue that won’t be there. Moreover, most of the ID cards are moving on the digital platform”, he added.
e-EPIC can be downloaded through the following online links, however, the voter-ID card would also be sent to them: Voter Helpline Mobile app (Android/iOS) https://voterportal.eci.gov.in/ https://nvsp.in/.
The digitalisation of voter-ID card will have a special significance in the upcoming polls in five states — Assam, Kerala, Puducherry, Tamil Nadu and West Bengal.
