New Delhi [India], December 26: The real estate sector is a cornerstone of economic growth, but it often suffers from a pervasive issue: a lack of trust. According to a 2023 survey by Knight Frank, 42% of homebuyers in India and 38% in Dubai hesitate to finalize purchases due to concerns about delayed project deliveries, lack of transparency, and insufficient brand credibility. In markets where stakes are high, building trust is not just desirable--it's essential.

With Delhi Assembly elections around the corner, the tussle between Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena and AAP convenor Arvind Kejriwal has intensified over the state of civic amenities in the capital.
AAP in a statement hit back at Saxena over his letter to its convener Kejriwal, saying he seems to be "more interested in politics than his sole responsibility-law and order" that is in "complete disarray and worsening" with each passing day.
In a letter to Kejriwal, LG Saxena accused the AAP government of neglecting critical civic infrastructure and public services over the past decade.
The letter came in response to Kejriwal's post on X, where he thanked the LG for highlighting the problems of Rangpuri Pahari during his visit on Saturday.
"LG sahab: Thank you for drawing our attention to the problems of Rangpuri pahadi. Our team is constructing a new drain there and cleaning it on a war footing. You visited New Rohtak Road and also told us about the drain overflow and broken road there.

President Droupadi Murmu on Monday condoled the demise of veteran filmmaker Shyam Benegal and said his passing away marks the end of a glorious chapter of Indian cinema and television.
Murmu said Benegal started a new kind of cinema and crafted several classics.
"A veritable institution, he groomed many actors and artists. His extraordinary contribution was recognised in the form of numerous awards including Dadasaheb Phalke Award and Padma Bhushan. My condolences to the members of his family and his countless admirers," the President said in a post on X.
Benegal, who heralded a new era in Hindi cinema with the 'parallel movement' in the 1970s and 1980s with classics such as "Ankur", "Mandi" and "Manthan", died on Monday at a hospital in Mumbai after battling chronic kidney disease. He was 90.
"The passing of Shri Shyam Benegal marks the end of a glorious chapter of Indian cinema and television," Murmu said.

The immigration officers sat in their vehicles before dawn near a two-storey building. A New York subway line rumbled overhead, then an officer's voice crackled over the radio.
After watching for about two hours, he said, I think that's Tango, using a term for target. Gray hoodie. Backpack. Walking quickly.
The immigration officers surrounded and handcuffed a 23-year-old man from Ecuador who had been convicted of sexually assaulting a minor.
Kenneth Genalo, head of Enforcement and Removal Operations for Immigration and Customs Enforcement in New York, said a popular misconception is that officers can sweep into a community and pick up a wide swath of people who are in the United States illegally and send them to their home countries.
It's called targeted enforcement, Genalo said. We don't grab people and then take them to JFK and put them on a plane."

Incidentally, according to the Bengaluru City Police website, India's first Cyber Crime Police Station was started in CID, Bengaluru way back in 2001.
Then in 2017, according to the information provided in its website, to tackle the growing number of cybercrimes, another cybercrime police station came up in the premises of the Police Commissioner's office in Bengaluru.
Eventually, the city got eight such police stations  nine, if we include the Bengaluru Rural as well  to register and investigate cases related to not only cybercrimes, but also economic and narcotic offences. They are called CEN (Cybercrimes, Economic and Narcotics Offences) Police Stations.
All these police stations, in theory, can be accessed round the clock via their hotline.
