executive director (research and advocacy), Centre for Science and Environmen­t (CSE), said that this time, DDA has ensured that there is a multi-sector understand­ing of the environmen­t crisis Delhi is facing. But, she added, the Master Plan could be pushed further by setting tighter deadlines for managing polluting sectors to ensure early and efficient results.

“What needs to be appreciate­d is that environmen­t is not seen as a stand-alone category, each segment of the document, such as transport, industries, water management, links to the overall environmen­tal issue. Finally, we are also recognisin­g the multi-sectoral role in pollution and this will help us tackle this problem better,” Roychowdhu­ry said.

The wife of jailed Mexican drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman is expected to plead guilty on Thursday to helping her husband smuggle narcotics, a person familiar with the matter said. A guilty plea could help reduce her sentence.

Emma Coronel Aispuro, 31, was arrested by US authoritie­s at Dulles airport outside Washington in February. The former beauty queen was slapped with a charge of conspiracy to traffic cocaine, methamphet­amine, heroin and marijuana for smuggling into the US.

El Chapo was the leader of

WASHINGTON:

the Sinaloa Cartel, one of Mexico’s most notorious drug traffickin­g groups. He ran an operation that delivered hundreds of tons of narcotics into the US and was behind multiple murders of those who crossed him, according to court filings.

He was extradited to the US in 2017 to stand trial and locked up in the highest security prison in Florence, Colorado.

According to the US justice department, Aispuro, a dual Us-mexico citizen and mother of twins, took part in cartel activities and assisted in two plots to help El Chapo escape from a Mexican prison.
