Delhi News Highlights:  The India Meteorological Department has issued a yellow alert for Delhi on July 5 and gave a warning that moderate rain could flood low-lying areas and disrupt the flow of traffic on key roads on Wednesday. The maximum and minimum temperatures are likely to hover between 33 degrees Celsius and 37 degrees Celsius tomorrow. The weather department further stated that cloudy weather and intermittent showers can be expected in the national capital over the next six to seven days.

The Supreme Court is set to hear a plea moved by the Delhi government relating to the appointment of the Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission (DERC) chairperson on July 11. In the meantime, the apex court orally said that the oath-taking of  chairperson-designate Justice (Retd) Umesh Kumar is to be deferred.

The wife of former Delhi deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia, Seema, has been admitted to hospital yet again. AAP sources said this was the third time that she had been hospitalised in recent weeks. The health of Seema, 49, a Multiple Sclerosis patient, deteriorated late on Monday evening following which she had to be hospitalised. Party sources said being alone at home—with Manish Sisodia in jail for his alleged role in the now scrapped excise policy case and the couple’s son studying abroad—had worsened matters in this regard.
