On this, the Supreme Court said that the charge sheet has been filed in the case, so the court cannot reject the FIR at this level. The bench said that Saini can face the proceed

The retreat is also happening in one of the two cities where the N-D-P is hoping to win a byelection on September 16th. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is also expected to address hi

Calgary official compares strain on water system to revving car's engine for too long
