When Prince William chose younger brother Harry to be Best Man at his wedding, few realised the significance of the request. William was, and is, acutely aware Prince Harry is destined to live his whole life in his shadow – in a supporting role. As the second son of the future monarch Harry is, as Royal Family experts put it so bluntly: “The spare to the heir.” Events this week have shown it is a role that comes with perils as well as privileges.

Even Mantralaya needs a helping hand with the growing menace of khataaras. The construction of a tunnel between Mantralaya and the Vidhan Bhawan has shrunk the parking space in the area, impeding movement of ambulances and fire tenders. Diminishing the expanse further are 25 khataaras that are taking up the precious space within the premises and the west-side parking lot.

Earlier this week, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Traffic) Somnath Gharge and Assistant Commissioner of Police L Donde were summoned to the home department to find a solution.
