🚨It's no secret that ANI is pro-Modi. But do you know it can cover any event or political leader for money? ANI has signed paid promotion contracts with 7 state govts. Under this, it covers CMs 24*7. Result is propaganda. ANI's biz partner is Reuters.

In many of these cases environmental violations continued. Despite this, special benches led by AK Goel disposed them of. NGT looks like a divided house with some lawyers flagging the new format. Members of zonal benches aint happy either. I report for @newslaundry

23 out of the 24 cases passed on from zonal benches and heard by special benches of the National Green Tribunal in July were cleared in a single hearing. There was little accountability for erring officials in many. @shivnarayan01 reports.

Story involved travelling 2,000 km in 10 days. I could do it without filter, fear because we are bankrolled by subscribers. Do contribute to our election coverage. We are way off our estimated expenditure for polls. Do chip in. Check out my other poll stories on NL site

Rajasthan BJP's WhatsApp machinery is unrivalled. Congress is not even close. I also compared Rajasthan BJP and Congress's ad spending on FB and Insta. Looked at tweet impressions. Cong's is three times better.

How was Rohit's last meeting with his mother? He rarely visited his home. Why did he try to build political ties? Spoiler: It all started in 2012 when he fired from a pistol from the rooftop of a mobile market in Bikaner. He bought it for Rs 50K at a time when he was earning well

Was his entry into the Lawrence Bishnoi gang 'by force'? What is Rohit’s connection with Davinder Bambiha gang? The story also reveals how new partnerships were forged with enemies. I looked at the psychoanalysis of minors who were allegedly hired by Rohit.
