City politics briefly turned into a fashion-and-decorum debate.

Apparently, the only hairstyle guaranteed to survive traffic, dust and destiny is the one protected by a helmet. The viral Instagram reel by Delhi Police indicated, “Dear hair, enjoy the salon, but safety gets the final styling vote.”

In a significant organisational overhaul, the Delhi Congress has named 12 district vice presidents and 26 general secretaries, the first such large-scale appointments in about 12 to 15 years under state unit chief Devender Yadav. While the leadership has projected it as a step toward strengthening the party cadre, several insiders in Delhi interpret it differently. According to them, the appointments are largely a balancing act, an attempt to pacify senior functionaries and reward loyalists within the organisation.
