[00:01:58] court on this question. At the outset, the West Bengal government told the top court
[00:02:02] that 23 people have died as doctors are on strike protesting the rape and murder of the post-graduate
[00:02:07] medic. The centre has advised states and union

[00:02:38] and trained human resources at such facilities.
[00:02:42] The disruption of water supply in Kerala's capital city Tiruvannathapuram has triggered
[00:02:46] a political row as Sudheva started a protest on Monday seeking Mayor Aayarajendra's
[00:02:51] resignation. Though posted dead by Congress accused the corporation of failing to find alternative
[00:02:55] ways to supply water to city dwellers. Over 5 lakh people were affected by the four-day
[00:03:00] long water supply disruption in the city. Udiv demanded that Aayarajendra should step
[00:03:05] down from the post of Mayor over the corporation's lapses in finding an alternative mechanism
[00:03:09] to ensure water supply to the people. Water supply to 4 to 4 wards of the corporation
[00:03:14] was disrupted for four days due to the realignment of pipelines as part of the

[00:04:21] The Kasabha police have transferred the case to the Karnataka police
[00:04:24] as the alleged crime occurred at a Bengaluru hotel. According to the complaint,
[00:04:28] the youth accused the popular director of sexually assaulting him and taking nude photos
[00:04:31] at the hotel in 2012. A special investigation team,
[00:04:35] formed to investigate sexual offenses in the Malalam film industry, has also recorded
