SC: don’t take rape cases lightly
Himachal HC order reversed
NEW DELHI, Aug 25 — A three-Judge Bench of the Supreme Court headed by Chief Justice A.S.

Death
is just a shell-burst away
SOMEWHERE IN THE NORTHERN
SECTOR, Aug 25 — Rifleman Rajkumar stays some 3000 km away from his
family, but seldom feels homesick. Posted barely 100 metres from the
Line of Control (LoC), he has a job demanding both dedication and
teamwork. He has a set of colleagues so intimately friendly with each
other that the young jawan (name changed) has little time and still less
the urge to think about home.
