Women-only 'pink parks' envisioned for all Delhi civic wards: Deputy Mayor

Work has begun on identifying locations for establishing women-only 'pink parks' in all MCD wards, Delhi Deputy Mayor Aaley Mohammad Iqbal said on Friday. The idea is to give a "more comfortable space" to women in the city, besides providing several amenities, he said. "Recently, in a meeting with Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, I cited the example of a 'pink park' in my ward (Chandni Mahal) in old Delhi and suggested that such parks can be set up in all wards. "My idea found resonance with the chief minister and later, in a meeting of the civic body's Horticulture department, I proposed that each ward should have at least one such park," Iqbal said. The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has 250 wards in its jurisdiction. AAP councillor Iqbal said a 'pink park' was set up on Mata Sundari Road as a pilot project and children aged up to 10 can accompany women visiting the parks. The same model will be replicated in other wards. These 'pink parks' will have toilets, CCTV cameras,

Delhi HC reserves order on plea by woman to terminate 33-week pregnancy

The Delhi High Court on Monday reserved its order on a petition by a 26-year-old woman seeking to terminate her 33-week pregnancy on account of the foetus suffering from certain cerebral abnormalities. Justice Prathiba M Singh, while clarifying that she was not taking any view at the moment, also expressed her "ethical concern" in the matter and pondered upon the use of technology to detect any abnormalities in a foetus and thus, have only "prefect children". "There is one ethical concern that the court is thinking of and that is with technology. It is actually very easy to detect a number of abnormalities as of today. We are now almost talking of a full-term pregnancy (in this case)," the court said. "So I am not taking any view either way but I am just saying that are we looking at a society which only has perfect children?...If the means are provided, should the parents then have the choice of not having the child at all," the court questioned. After hearing the petitioner as we
