West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee broke her mum on protest during her speech Oxford University. After returning Kolkata from London, this is the first time she opened up on the issue. However she did not mention anyone’s name. During her speech at Kolkata’s Red Road on Monday she only said, “I was asked, are you a Hindu? I said, I am a Hindu, I am a Muslim, I am a Sikh, Isai, I am India first. What can you do?”

What happened at Oxford?

During her speech at the Oxford University, Banerjee had to face some protest from the students. They questioned Banerjee on issues like RG Kar rape and murder case, Singur and recent Jadavpur University issue where West Bengal Education minister Bratya Basu’s convoy allegedly ran over a student.
Some audiences were seen to show protest with placards and also questioned on her stance in communal issues. Banerjee said on RG Kar issue, “Do you know that this case is pending? The responsibility of investigating this case is now in the hands of the Central government, the case is no longer in our hands.” She further added, “Don’t disrespect your institution by insulting me. I have come here as a representative of the country. Don’t insult your country.”

Mamata Banerjee at Red Road

Banerjee on Monday reached at Red Road, Kolkata where like every year Eid was celebrating. She said at the manch, “Don’t be trapped into provocations, Didi is with you, whole government is with you,”
She further stated that divisive politics would not be tolerated in Bengal, reaffirming her commitment to every community. “What do they want? Divide and rule? We don’t want that. My life is dedicated to the country, and I stand for all religions, castes, communities. If you stand together, I will stand with you,” she said.

Will greet onNavratri as well: CM

She said, she greeted on Eid, she will also greet on Navratri as well. She said, “We are secular. Navratri is going on. I extend my best wishes for that as well, but we do not want anyone to create chaos…Common people do not create chaos, but political parties do that. This is a matter of shame. We are ready to sacrifice our lives for all religions…The duty of the majority is to protect the minority, and the duty of the minority is to stay with the majority…”
She said that, she came early from Britain because of Eid. “I can be there for another two days. But I know, I will have to present here. So, I returned early.”
Without naming BJP, she said, “provocation are being made by a political party but don’t be trapped into provocations. Didi is with you and whole government is with you. They will try to make riots. Don’t be trapped.”

As heat waves intensify, animals need help with respite too

Lalitpur: Dogs Attack Deceased Newborn’s Head at Medical College
Mumbai, India: As India faces intensifying heat waves, with record-breaking temperatures exceeding 45°C in March itself, animal protection organization Humane World for Animals India (formerly called Humane Society International India) urges citizens to prioritize their well-being while also showing compassion and taking necessary actions to protect animals and birds during these extreme conditions. The prolonged heat waves, aggravated by climate change, pose a grave threat to both humans and animals – from heat stress and dehydration to even fatalities.
Heat waves endangers animals of all kinds, from companion animals like dogs, cats, and birds to farm animals such as cows, goats and poultry. They face risks like heatstroke, burns from hot surfaces, overcrowding and inadequate shelter or water, which can lead to death.
Dalia Jacob, senior manager of the community engagement team at Humane World for Animals says: “Every small action counts in saving lives. In many cases, the difference between life and death is the simple act of providing shade and water. Heat waves are not just a human crisis – they’re an animal welfare crisis too. We’re collaborating with community members and volunteers to ensure that street dogs have access to clean drinking water. Additionally, we’ve set up water tubs in certain housing societies to help maintain animal’s body temperature during extreme heat.”
Praveen Suresh, manager of disaster preparedness and relief team at Humane World for Animals India says: “With heat waves affecting millions of people, the impact on animals—both companion and farmed—remains a largely overlooked crisis. According to reports, these heat waves are expected to intensify, putting both urban and rural animal populations at risk. In an agrarian country like India, where the majority of the rural population relies on both agriculture and livestock for their livelihood, the loss of animals due to heat stress poses a severe challenge. Additionally, the scarcity of feed often forces farmers to destock, further impacting their economic stability.”

Do’s and don’ts to care for animals during a heat wave:

Do’s:

Provide access to shade/makeshift shelter to help animals stay cool in hot weather.
Always check under your car before driving, many animals use them to find shade on hot days.
Place water bowls for animals and birds in multiple areas and ensure a constant supply of fresh water. Check them regularly to ensure they are full and free from contamination.
Adjust feeding times of community animals to early morning or late evening when it’s cooler.
Watch for heat exhaustion signs like panting, drooling or lethargy. Move animals to a cooler place and offer water. If needed, douse them in cool (not cold) water to help lower their temperature.

Don’ts:

Never leave animals in hot cars; it can quickly lead to heatstroke and even death.
Prevent animals from walking on hot pavement, as it can burn their paws. Stick to grass or shaded areas.
Avoid over-exercising animals during hot weather to prevent heat exhaustion and dehydration.
Don’t leave animals outside without shade and water.
If you have pets, avoid letting them go out during the hot hours of the day and avoid tying them up outside.
Avoid feeding animals food that can ferment quickly, as it may increase heat generation in their stomach.

Facts:

Heat wave is a condition of high atmospheric temperature that leads to physiological stress, which sometimes can be fatal. The temperature of any place, if it continues to be more than 45° C consecutively for two days, is then called a heat wave condition.
2024 was the warmest year in India since 1901, with severe heat waves affecting multiple regions.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) recorded 536 heat wave days, the highest in 14 years. Northwest India experienced its hottest June on record.

Planning to buy a blue drum? If you are a resident of Uttar Pradesh’s Meerut, then you will have to submit a valid ID proof for purchasing the same! Traders in Meerut have started demanding ID proofs from customers buying blue drums, reflecting the growing unease in the town. Customers are also being quizzed by shopkeepers about their ‘purpose’ of buying a blue drum, as revealed by local residents.
The recent murder case of Merchant Navy officer Saurabh Rajput in Meerut, has left netizens shocked. A woman named Muskaan Rastogi intoxicated her husband Saurabh and stabbed him to death with support of her boyfriend Sahil Shukla on March 4 this year. The duo then dismembered the victim’s body and packed it in a blue drum filled with wet cement. The gruesome murder case has given birth to a new fear among citizens about the blue drum.
Blue drums, a common hardware item, which are widely used for storing and transporting goods, are being seen as containers for hiding dead bodies of murder victims after this case. Meme videos showing Indian husbands as potential victims of the blue drum have started trending on social media!

Blue drum sale declines in Aligarh

So much is the fear that, in UP’s Aligarh, the sale of blue drums has significantly decreased because people fear that they may be subjected to ridicule by neighbours if they purchase a blue drum! Customers now associate drums with the horrifying incident, leading to a severe decline in sales.
The drum market in Aligarh’s Rasalganj is witnessing a considerable drop in sales. According to a shopkeeper, sales have plummeted from 40-50 drums to just 15 in the past one month.

गांव में नहीं आ रही दुल्हनें, कुंवारे बैठे हैं लड़के, पानी है वजह

Water Crisis In MP Mandla
Water Crisis In MP Mandla
Madhya Pradesh के Mandla जिले के बिछिया विकासखंड में एक गांव ऐसा है, जहां पानी की किल्लत इस कदर है कि पानी के लिए करीब 1 किलोमीटर दूर घाट उतरकर कड़ी मशक्कत कर रेत के बने झिरिया से पानी लाना पड़ रहा है। गांव में पानी नहीं होने की वजह से दूसरे गांव के लोग उस गांव में अपनी बेटियों की शादी नहीं रहे है। मतलब Mandla गांव के लड़कों की शादी नहीं हो रही है। गांव में दुल्हन नहीं आ रही है और जो दुल्हने गांव में हैं, वो भी घर और गांव छोड़कर जा रही है।

Mandla: पानी की वजह कुंवारे हैं लड़के

Mandla MP: गर्मी का मौसम अभी ठीक से शुरू भी नहीं हुआ, कि MP का Mandla जिला पानी की भारी किल्लत से जूझने लगा है। जिले के कई गांवों के लोग पानी के संकट से जूझ रहे है। मध्य प्रदेश के Mandla जिला के बिछिया विधानसभा क्षेत्र के ग्राम पंचायत दानी टोला के Peepartola नाम के इस गांव की 1000 से भी ज्यादा की आबादी है। इस गांव में पानी की किल्लत कुछ इस तरह है कि गांव में आधे से ज्यादा युवक कुंवारे रह गए हैं। इतना ही नहीं, जिनकी शादी हुई है उनकी दुल्हनें गांव और घर छोड़कर जा रही है। आपको सुनकर हैरत जरूर होगी लेकिन यहां पानी की कमी के कारण कई युवाओं की शादी नहीं हो पा रही है। ऐसा नहीं है कि यहां शादी के लिए रिश्ते आते नहीं हैं। बकायदा रिश्ते आते हैं लेकिन जब गांव में पानी के साधन के बारे में पूछा जाता है, तो लड़की वाले उल्टे पांव लौट जाते हैं। ग्रामीण नदी से रेत के बीच से छानकर पानी भरने की बात बताते है तो कितना भी Talented लड़का क्यों न हो, शादी के लिए हर कोई इस गांव में अपनी बेटी ब्याहने से डरता है। इस गांव के लोग कई सालों से 1 किलोमीटर दूर घाट से नीचे उतरकर हालोन नदी से रेत के बीच बनाए हुए झिरिया से छने हुए पानी से अपना जीनव यापन कर रहे है। गांव की इसी समस्या को देखते हुए यहां पर कोई भी अपनी लड़की ब्याहना नहीं चाहता। ये कहानी साल दो साल की नहीं, बल्कि कई सालों से चल रही है।
MP के Mandla जिले में स्थित पिपरटोला गांव, एक गंभीर जल संकट से जूझ रहा है। गर्मी के मौसम में यह समस्या और भी गंभीर हो जाती है, जिससे परिवारों को अपनी बुनियादी जरूरतों को पूरा करने के लिए भी संघर्ष करना पड़ता है। Mandla गांव में पानी का कोई स्थायी स्रोत नहीं है, इसलिए लोगों को रोजाना नजदीकी नदी तक जाना पड़ता है। गंदे पानी को इकट्ठा करना और उसे रेत से छानकर पीना, उनके अस्तित्व को बचाए रखने का एकमात्र सहारा है। चिलचिलाती गर्मी में पुरुष और महिलाएं दोनों पानी की तलाश में कड़ी मेहनत करते हैं, यही उनकी प्यास बुझाने का एकमात्र विकल्प है। वार्ड सदस्य राय सिंह मरावी का कहना है, “हम नदी और कुओं से पानी लाते हैं, लेकिन पानी बहुत प्रदूषित और गंदा है। कई ग्रामीण उल्टी, पेचिश और कई गंभीर बीमारियों से पीड़ित हैं। इस पानी को पीने से कई लोगों की जान भी जा चुकी है।

जल योजना के नल Mandla में फांक रहे धूल

ऐसा बिल्कुल भी नहीं है कि इस गांव में नल-जल योजना के तहत नल नहीं लगे, पर ये सिर्फ धूल फांक रहे है। ऐसे में ग्रामीणों को पानी के लिए गांव से एक किलोमीटर दूर घाट उतरकर हालोन नदी में बह रहे रेत के बीच से एक कुंड बनाकर पानी को निकालना पड़ता है। इससे ग्रामीणों का सारा दिन सिर्फ पानी भरने में ही निकल जाता है। इससे गांव के बच्चे ना तो पढ़ पा रहे हैं और ना ही ग्रामीण सही तरीके से मेहनत मजदूरी कर पा रहे हैं। गांव में सभी मजदूर वर्ग के लोग हैं। यहां की महिलाओं का सारा दिन कोसों दूर से पानी लाने में ही गुज़र जाता है। ग्रामीण लगातार इसकी शिकायत सरपंच से लेकर कलेक्टर और जनप्रतिनिधी तक से कर चुके हैं, लेकिन आज तक इनकी समस्या का निदान नहीं हो पाया है। फिलहाल, Media द्वारा सक्रीयता दिखाने के बाद मामले में PHE अधिकारी ने जल्द ही लोगों को पानी मुहैया कराने का भरोसा दिलाया है।

It particularly encourages governments and educational institutions worldwide to integrate dance into the education system, ensuring its accessibility from primary to higher education.

April 30 – Ayushman Bharat Diwas (India)

The Ayushman Bharat Diwas is celebrated on April 30 in India. The Ayushman Bharat Diwas is celebrated to achieve twin missions. They are to promote health and wellness to the poor and also to provide insurance benefits to them.

April is a month of reflection, awareness, and action. These national and international observances help societies acknowledge historical events, promote global issues, and encourage collective efforts toward a better future. Whether it’s health, environment, or cultural heritage, each day in April serves as a reminder of our responsibilities as global citizens.
