Meanwhile, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) directed the Delhi Police on Thursday to suspend all the personnel posted at three PCR vans and two pickets on the night when a 20-year-old woman was killed in the national capital after her scooter was hit by a car and she was dragged by the vehicle for 10-12 kilometres.

The demolition of two "unsafe" hotels in subsidence-hit Joshimath resumed on Thursday, two days after the project was halted owing to owners' protests demanding compensation, while the evacuation of affected residents proceeded.
