A division bench of Acting Chief Justice Sanjeev Sachdeva and Justice Vinay Saraf directed the district collector to file a report with regard to the physical condition of each of the horses along with a report on the environment in which they have been kept as well as availability of food, water and shelter. Three horses had died at the farm in the last few days, while eight had died in May reportedly due to heat. Jabalpur, Jun 20 (PTI) The Madhya Pradesh High Court on Friday directed the Jabalpur district collector to file a report by June 25 on the condition of horses kept in a farm in Raipura village. The collector shall also file a status report with regard to the horses that have died and the reasons for their death, the bench said. The court issued the direction while hearing of a petition filed by Jabalpur-based animal activist Simran Issar alleging that one Sachin Tiwari brought 49 horses from HithaNet India Private Limited in Telangana capital Hyderabad and had kept them without documents pertaining to ownership, vaccination, medical history etc. 'Sachin Tiwari has been made respondent in the petition for illegally transporting horses from Hyderabad to Jabalpur in violation of provisions of Prevention of Cruelty to Animal Act. Sachin Tiwari is associated with Suresh Paladugu of HithaNet India Private Limited,' the petitioner's counsel Umesh Tripathi told PTI. HithaNet India Private Limited started an online horse racing betting venture exclusively for Philippines that it ran from Hyderabad Race Club under the title of UnThose Matchup Racing in October 2023, Tripathi said. Jabalpur collector Deepak Saxena had told reporters on June 19 that a committee had been formed under the chairmanship of the district panchayat chief executive officer to find out whether proper care was being taken of horses.

Mumbai: The Maha Mumbai Metro achieved its highest-ever daily ridership on June 18, 2025, with 2,94,681 commuters using the city's Metro Lines 2A and 7. This development marked a new milestone in Mumbai's urban transit journey. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Officials from the Maha Mumbai Metro Operation Corporation Ltd (MMMOCL) said, "The record numbers are attributed to the growing trust of Mumbaikars, seamless operations, and the widespread adoption of its digital ticketing system." The official further stated that over 65% of the tickets on that day were booked via the WhatsApp-based ticketing platform, reflecting the success of its technology-driven commuter services. "This achievement is a reflection of Mumbaikars' continued confidence in the metro network and the relentless commitment of our staff. We are grateful for the support and enthusiasm shown by our commuters," said a senior MMMOCL official. This surpasses the previous ridership high of over 2.92 lakh recorded on October 8, 2024, the day Mumbai received its new metro connection between Aarey Colony and Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC). Earlier, on June 6, 2024, the network recorded a ridership of 2,60,471 in a single day. Metro Lines 2A and 7, operated by MMMOCL, have become vital cogs in Mumbai's suburban transport ecosystem. The 18.6-km-long Metro Line 2A connects Dahisar to D N Nagar via 17 stations, linking with Metro Lines 1, 2B, and 6. Meanwhile, the 16.5-km-long Metro Line 7 runs from Dahisar East to Andheri East, significantly decongesting the Western Express Highway and integrating with key metro corridors across the city.
