Top Headlines: Number of Coronavirus Cases In India Rises To 29; High Court To Hear Delhi Violence Pleas On Friday

The number of people with the coronavirus (Covid-19) in India rose to 29 and additional schools and offices were closed in several cities. All the petitions related to last week's violence in Delhi -- including that of hate speech -- will be heard by the Delhi High Court on Friday, the Supreme Court has said.

  • The number of people with the coronavirus disease (Covid-19) in India rose sharply to 29 and additional schools and offices were closed in several cities as authorities found more people with signs of an infection, deepening the potential for the virus to spread further in what could turn into a health emergency for the country. The Delhi high court's decision to adjourn a plea seeking registration of FIRs into incidents of hate speech before last week's Delhi riots cannot be justified, the Supreme Court has said.
