 Russia launches massive drone and missile barrage on Ukraine, killing at least 18 civilians and striking Kyiv and multiple cities  Russia carried out a large-scale overnight assault on Ukraine, launching hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles that killed at least 18 civilians and wounded more than 100 others across multiple cities, officials said Tuesday. The strikes hit Kyiv, Dnipro and other regions, with emergency crews working through destroyed residential buildings where some victims were trapped under rubble. In Dnipro, rescuers recovered the bodies of a 3-year-old child and a mother and her 8-year-old son, while officials reported 12 deaths in the city and six in Kyiv. The bombardment stretched from night into daylight, with explosions reported across wide areas of the country.

INDIA REMOVED THE BLINDFOLD ON LADY JUSTICE STATUE,'JUSTICE IS NO LONGER BLIND'. (PHOTO).


 In a significant departure from tradition, the statue symbolizing justice has been reimagined. 

The familiar figure, once depicted with a blindfold, now stands confidently unmasked at the Supreme Court judges’ library, holding a book of the Constitution. This change represents a meaningful shift in the portrayal of justice, sparking both curiosity and discussion.

The blindfold traditionally represented equality before the law, suggesting that courts remain impartial to the wealth, power, or social status of those who appear before them. In contrast, the sword symbolized authority and the power to enforce justice.


The new statue, commissioned by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud, features an open-eyed figure holding the Constitution in her left hand instead of a sword. This alteration is part of a broader effort to move away from colonial legacies, akin to the replacement of colonial-era criminal laws, such as the Indian Penal Code, with the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.


According to sources close to the Chief Justice’s office, Justice Chandrachud advocates for India to transcend its British legacy, emphasizing that the law sees everyone equally. He proposed that the Lady of Justice should hold the Constitution rather than a sword, conveying that justice is delivered in accordance with constitutional principles rather than through violence.


The sources also noted that the scales of justice in her right hand have been retained, as they symbolize balance in society and the careful consideration of facts and arguments from both sides before the court reaches a conclusion.
