## Resource

On News@7 this April 22, Taniya Dutta brings to you the evening’s most crucial headlines. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has seized vessels including the Epaminondas bound for Gujarat, raising concerns in India over maritime safety in the Strait of Hormuz. Meanwhile, the Election Commission has imposed strict curbs in West Bengal, barring non-local tourists from hotels in coastal areas like Digha and Mandarmani ahead of polling, to prevent disruptions. In Delhi, the Aam Aadmi Party has decided not to contest the Municipal Corporation mayoral elections. Party leader Saurabh Bharadwaj said the move allows the BJP, which holds a majority, to govern and be assessed on its performance. Tune In! Produced by Taniya Dutta Sound mixed by Suraj Singh
