Delhi smog, Manipur violence, Kailash Gehlot joins BJP, Biden allows Ukraine to use US missiles

Today, Delhi’s AQI levels crossed 1,500 in several areas, prompting the implementation of Grap-IV emergency measures. The Supreme Court has ordered these measures to stay until further notice even if the AQI improves. Tensions in Manipur worsened today, with one protester killed in Jiribam district and six others found dead in separate incidents. Clashes between civilians and security forces have led to curfews and internet shutdowns in several districts, including Imphal.
