The court noted it had not approved the modified Form 6, which had added an online declaration requiring new voters to link to an earlier electoral roll through parents or grandparents. The modification triggered political protests and objections from the Opposition, with the Leader of the Opposition accusing the CEC of unilateral decisions. The BJP responded by dismissing claims that the modified form was declared illegal by the court or formulated to benefit the ruling party, maintaining that the Opposition is misleading the public.Project Cheetah Milestone: Five Cubs Born at Kuno National Park, India Count at 60A major milestone was marked under Project Cheetah as KJP21, a 32-month-old Indian-born female cheetah, gave birth to five healthy cubs at Kuno National Park.
