New Delhi:
Amid the growing storm over its path breaking judgement over Sabarimala Temple, the Supreme Court on Friday will hear a plea filed by two women seeking round-the-clock security after they recently entered the hilltop shrine in Kerala. On the other hand, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to inaugurate the 9th edition of Vibrant Gujarat Summit at Mahatma Mandir Exhibition cum Convention Center in Gandhinagar this morning. In other news, US president Donald Trump cancelled US delegation's visit to Davos in the mid of record-breaking government shutdown in the country. In what could be another reason of worry for Delhiites, the fuel rates on Friday witnessed another rise with the prices of petrol and diesel increased by Rs 0.08 and Rs 0.09 paise respectively. To take a look at the cricketing world, India will take on Australis in the series-deciding third and final ODI at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Friday. For Bollywood buffs, some mind-boggling pictures of lovebirds Nickyanka (Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas) and their gorgeous 6.5-million-dollar mansion in the Beverly Hills area may give you a perfect weekend vibe.
