Vandalism

The collapse of two transmission towers in Nelson Mandela Bay has caused a major power outage affecting large parts of the city since last Thursday. Warnings about the deteriorating infrastructure were issued more than a year ago but went unheeded. The municipality attributes the incident to vandalism and strong winds, while residents demand rebates for the disruption.

A dargah on the premises of Wynberg-Allen School in Mussoorie, Uttarakhand, was vandalised on Saturday evening by a group of 25-30 people armed with hammers and crowbars. The incident occurred weeks after a viral Facebook video questioned the shrine's legality on forest land. An FIR has been registered against three individuals.
