What problems are increasing in New Delhi?

Every civic news report geolocated to New Delhi, classified into an open problem vocabulary, and trended as a share of the city's total coverage.

Summary

Delhi's civic story is tilting toward courts, elections and everyday safety. Legal matters took a bigger slice of the city's news (up 2.6 points), elections rose 2.7 points and accidents gained 1.8 points; bomb threats, air quality and railway-station stampede coverage sharpen the concern.

WATCH Watch whether bomb threats and air-quality coverage keep rising alongside legal and election attention.
