KOLKATA: With large parts of Kolkata thoroughly inundated, public life brought to its knees and at least seven people electrocuted in the wake of widespread and torrential overnight downpour, a political slugfest broke out on social media between the BJP, the state's prime Opposition, and its ruling dispensation, the Trinamool Congress. While the saffron party took to its social media handles to post pictures and videos of waterlogged streets of Kolkata and accused the TMC-run Kolkata Municipal Corporation of indulging in corruption, the ruling party slammed the BJP for weaponising pain to spread hate. Durga Pujo celebrations are starting this week. Yet, due to Kolkata's extremely poor drainage system, Puja pandals are submerged under water. Years of anarchy under the CPI(M) and nearly 15 years of corruption in the Kolkata Municipal Corporation under TMC have forced Bengalis to suffer even during their biggest festival, Durga Puja, a post on the X handle of BJP's Bengal unit, referring to a video of the thoroughly waterlogged Maniktala area in north Kolkata, read. These visuals clearly sum up the 'Unnayan' done by Mamata Banerjee. pic.twitter.com/bKdXkDJy19 BJP West Bengal (@BJP4Bengal) September 23, 2025 Another post of the BJP, with an attached video clip of an inundated Science City area in eastern parts of the city, equated the public distress to lack of business in the state. See the condition of Kolkata around Science City. This is one of the state's highly acclaimed and posh regions that houses a few organisations. If such is the condition of civil lives, how can anyone think about living a sustainable life in Kolkata? How can any organisation further have the intent to invest? This is a breakdown of civil order, the post read. In a sharp retort, state Finance minister Chandrima Bhattacharya accused the BJP of playing politics with people's distress. Yesterday, Kolkata faced the fury of a rare cloudburst. Nearly 300 mm of rain fell within hours, a scale that overwhelms any city, no matter its infrastructure. Scientists have said the same in Mumbai 2005, Chennai 2015, Delhi 2023, no city escapes when the skies open without pause, Bhattacharya wrote on X. Yet what does BJP do? They ignore science, they ignore compassion, they ignore climate realities. Their only obsession is to weaponise pain and spread hate. They think people cannot tell the difference between a natural calamity and their propaganda, she added. Yesterday, Kolkata faced the fury of a rare cloudburst.

We also know that BJP's attempt to inject hatred during Durga Puja is strategic and will fail miserably, she declared. Women and Child Development Minister Sashi Panja claimed that officials of both the KMC and the state government were working relentlessly on the streets to ease the people's distress. Amid calamity, leadership is measured in compassion and action. BJP offers neither. Instead, they mock Bengal while their own governments fail their people year after year at the first sign of heavy rain. Empathy? That's beyond their vocabulary, she wrote on X. Panja accused the BJP of selective targeting of opposition governments. When Gurgaon gets flooded, the BJP stays mum. And at a time of calamity, instead of showing compassion for people all BJP does is mock the Bengal government, she said. In a strongly worded post on the same social media platform, state leader of opposition Suvendu Adhikari squarely laid the blame for people's distress on the civic bodies concerned and the state power department. A procession of deaths in an inundated city! Adhikari wrote. At an age when advanced technology provides accurate predictions of rainfall locations and its volume, citizens pay the price of incompetent and indifferent municipal bodies of Kolkata and Bidhannagar. They have not learnt lessons from the past, and the same picture gets repeated year after year, he added. !!! , ? - ! , , pic.twitter.com/6Hl4Zd68oJ Suvendu Adhikari (@SuvenduWB) September 23, 2025 Adhikari lashed out at the state Power department, blaming it for not just its abject failure, but its criminality in not being able to tackle the live electrical wire menace in the city. Where are your officials? Why haven't effective steps been taken to handle dangers lurking from live wires? So far, seven innocent people are dead. This is not your failure, this is criminal negligence. People must be held responsible for this neglect and punished, he stated. The BJP leader highlighted the repeated annual sufferings of the people and asked how long this distress, stemming from anarchy, would continue.

NEW DELHI: Aviation watchdog, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), has issued a show cause notice to Indigo on Tuesday (Aug 11) on lapses pertaining to simulator training for nearly 1,700 pilots in connection with a few specific airports which have challenging terrain and different runway conditions, a source said. Air India Express had also recently received a similar notice in connection with the simulator training it offered for the Calicut International Airport. Indigo has been given a deadline of 15 days to respond to it, the source added. Critical airfield training or C category training rendered to pilots on regular simulators would not be suitable for the airports of Kathmandu, Leh and Calicut because of the complicated terrain involved which requireprecise approaches, the source said. An Indigo spokesperson said, We confirm receipt of a show-cause notice issued by the DGCA pertaining to simulator training of some of our pilots. We are in the process of reviewing the same and will respond to the regulator within the stipulated timeline. We remain committed to ensuring the highest standards of safety and compliance across our operations. An Air India Express source confirmed the receipt of a DGCA notice over the same issue recently. Claiming that he was not aware of the specific number of pilots who were mentioned in the notice, the source said, This is in connection with our training for the Calicut airport which has a table-top runway. The simulators used for training so far are all DGCA-approved ones. So far, we have never been informed that simulators are different for different airports. This is something new for us. Air India got a notice in July this year in connection with a pilot who flew in April from Kathmandu airport, which has a high-altitude table top runway. He was not provided the mandatory special simulator training required for it. Airlines make use of common simulators for training pilots. Among those who operate them are private centres in Gurgaon and Mumbai, which have the DGCA approval to train pilots, said an airline source.

Mamata Banerjee warns of voter list purge, attacks BJP for insulting Bengali language
KOLKATA: Trinamool Congress Chairperson and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday indicated that her party would bank on issues like voter lists and the Bengali language movement to contest the 2026 Assembly elections. Speaking at a programme organised to celebrate World Tribal Day in Jhargram, in the western part of West Bengal, she launched a scathing attack on the BJP, centring around these two issues. In her speech, she expressed her anger over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise initiated by the Election Commission of India (ECI). The Chief Minister also made it clear once again that her movement will continue regarding the Bengali language. She targeted the central government and the ECI over the voter list exercise and used the alleged negative comments of BJP leaders regarding the Bengali language as a tool to attack the saffron party. She said, If anyone asks to fill up forms, please do not do it being unaware. They will remove your names from the voter lists and hand an NRC notice to you. We will not tolerate it. It is a plan of the Central Government and they will verify names of the voter list. People will have to cross-check if their names are in the voter list. Those born before 2002 are being asked to show their parents birth certificates. Banerjee claimed that when the Trinamool Congress government came to power in West Bengal in May 2011, the institutional delivery rate in the state was only 60 percent and it was much lower before that. How many people have the birth certificates of their parents now? Those who are asking for it do they have their parents birth certificates? They are born with a silver spoon; how will they understand the woes of the poor? she added. Without naming the BJP, Banerjee also attacked the ruling party at the Centre. Mamata questions EC's directive to suspend four officers, says her govt is with its staffers She said, They even dismissed the existence of the Bengali language. In which language did Rabindranath Tagore or Netaji speak? How useless are they that they say there is no such language as Bengali. As I hold a certain position, I cannot speak ill of them even if they do so. People of Bengal are being persecuted. We have facilitated the return of more than 2,000 workers. They have been kept in detention camps in Gurgaon. Similar persecution is going on in Rajasthan and Assam. A tribal girl from Malda has been pushed back to Bangladesh from Madhya Pradesh. Dalits are being tortured, the Chief Minister alleged. She also asked people to remain cautious about the BJP, while saying, These people will come before elections and ask for votes by giving money. Whose money is that? We know everything. They want to remove the names of the people and send them to Bangladesh. They are labelling people as Rohingyas and Bangladeshis only for speaking Bengali, Banerjee alleged. Asking people not to let go of the voter lists and the honour of the Bengali language, she asked, In which language is our National Anthem written? Who taught us the Bengali alphabets? It was Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar who was born in Medinipur. The Chief Minister complained, Government employees are being intimidated. Notices were sent to two of my officers yesterday. They were suspended even though the elections have not yet been declared. Under which rule? You are suspending. And you are saying, an FIR will have to be filed. It will not happen. I will not let anyone be punished. Keep this in mind. She once again clarified that the West Bengal government will continue to stand with the state government employees. The ECI had on Tuesday suspended four officials and a casual worker in West Bengal for irregularities in the registration of names in the voter lists. In a letter to West Bengal Chief Secretary Manoj Pant, the ECI had also ordered the registration of an FIR against these four officials and a data entry operator posted in South 24 Parganas and East Midnapore districts respectively for their alleged criminal activities.

What do you want to prove? This is atrocious and terrible. We are not going to tolerate this. Stop this linguistic terror, she thundered at the BJP. Within 21 minutes of Banerjees post, Malviya also took to X to counter her allegations. You are LYING. Those being questioned are illegal Bangladeshis, who perhaps speak Bangla but are NOT Indian citizens. You are a DISGRACE to equate Indian citizens from West Bengal to illegal migrants from Bangladesh, just because all of them happen to be TMC voters, he accused Banerjee. He also alleged that those illegal migrants are Trinamool Congress voters. Malviya said, Your administration has enabled these illegal migrants to obtain Aadhaar and other government documents before infiltrating other parts of India, all on the condition that they return to vote for the TMC in every election. Remember: no ILLEGAL migrant will be spared. Stop using the fact that they speak Bangla to further your sinister politics.

There were no Bangladeshis. But if someone is Bangladeshi, he will obviously be identified as Bangladeshi. He was replying to a question of Banerjees allegation over attack on Bengali-speaking people form West Bengal in various BJP-ruled states. INDIA bloc MPs protest in Parliament complex against SIR in Bihar In the Trinamool Congress Martyrs Day rally on July 21, Banerjee had alleged that the Election Commission of India was working at the behest of the BJP, referring to the ongoing special intensive revision (SIR) exercise in Bihar. The BJP and the Election Commission are conspiring against West Bengal. They want to do in West Bengal what they did in Bihar through EC's SIR. If they try the same here, we will gherao them. We will never allow it, she had threatened.

West Bengal police is receiving these reports from Haryana police in the name of requests for identity searches.

Move to redraw boundaries of Sariska Tiger Reserve to facilitate mining draws flak from experts
A coalition of environmentalists has made urgent appeals to the Union government, Rajasthan government and Tiger Conservation Authority, voicing their concerns over the proposal to alter the boundaries of the Sariska Tiger Reserve (STR) in order to facilitate mining activities in the Aravalli hills. They emphasized that this decision could set a troubling precedent and have a negative impact on wildlife conservation efforts across the country. In early July, Indias wildlife authority approved changes to the boundaries of the STR as part of a conservation plan that also accommodates mining activities. The adjustment affects both the Critical Tiger Habitat (CTH) and the buffer zone, aiming to enhance wildlife conservation while taking into account the development needs of nearby regions. Experts warn that if the proposed rationalization plan is implemented, it could have disastrous consequences for the ecologically sensitive Aravalli region. The environmental group People for Aravallis submitted representations to the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, the Chief Minister of Rajasthan, and the National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA), expressing concerns about the recent proposal to redraw the boundaries of the Sariska Tiger Reserve. According to the group, the decision to redraw the boundaries aims to allow the reopening of at least 50 marble, dolomite, limestone, and masonry mines that were closed following a previous Supreme Court order. Activists argue that this could set a dangerous precedent across the country, legitimizing similar illegal activities. The group submitted three representations on July 14 to Indias Environment Minister, the Additional Director General (Project Tiger), and the Chief Minister of Rajasthan, urging them to abandon the proposal to redraw the boundaries of the STR, as it is flawed from both an ecological and legal standpoint, said Kay Nair, Co-Founder of People for Aravallis. Joy as tigress at Sariska gives birth to four cubs A significant concern in the proposed plan is its potential to reopen around 50 marble, dolomite, limestone, and masonry stone mines near the new boundaries of the reserve, Nair added. As per the guidelines for declaration of eco-sensitive zones around protected areas, an area of up to 10 km radius may be included as a shock absorber. The buffer zone is currently established to be a radius of 1 km around the boundaries of STR. Uma Shanker Singh, retired Principal Chief Conservator of Forest from Uttar Pradesh, who is one of the 37 retired IFS officers who wrote to the Prime Minister in February 2025 highlighting the damage to the Aravalli range as a result of mining and other activities, urged the government at the Centre and in the four Aravalli states to take urgent steps to protect Aravalli. Allowing mining in an eco-sensitive zone such as Sariska can have serious long-term harmful impacts on its flora & fauna. Blasting and mining activities hugely put the wildlife at risk, said Singh. In 2004, poaching resulted in the killing of 28 tigers in Sariska, and their number was reduced to zero. Later, tigers were relocated to Sariska from Ranthambore. After many years of successful conservation efforts, the tiger count in Sariska stands at a historic high of 49. In 1992, the government regulated development activities in the Aravallis spanning across the Gurgaon and Alwar districts of Haryana and Rajasthan through notifications. Later, in 2018, the Centrally Empowered Committee report had revealed that mining had razed 31 Aravalli hills of Alwar district to the ground. The government and the Supreme Court must scrap the ecologically disastrous proposal to redraw boundaries of Sariska which is not in the interest of protecting our national animal and instead benefits the miners, said Dr Rajendra Singh, a water conservationist from Rajasthan.

DC Edit | Let Tennis Players Murder Be An Eye-Opener
The brutal murder of 25-year-old tennis player Radhika Yadav by her father in Gurgaon reflects a society that continues to be tethered to patriarchal norms, despite its economic development and exposure to the world.
The postmortem report of former tennis player Radhika Yadav has contradicted key claims made in the FIR registered against her father, Deepak Yadav, who is accused of killing her at their home in Gurugrams Sushant Lok on Thursday. According to a report by India Today , Dr Deepak Mathur, a member of the Gurgaon Government Hospital Board and surgeon, confirmed in a telephonic conversation that Radhika sustained four gunshot wounds, all located on her chest. He added that the bullets were removed from her body and sent for forensic examination. This revelation is at odds with the FIR, which stated that Deepak had fired three bullets at his daughter from behind. The discrepancy has raised fresh questions about the sequence of events leading to the 25-year-olds death and the accuracy of the accuseds confession. Police had earlier said Deepak Yadav admitted to shooting his daughter after being taunted for living off her income. On Friday, a court remanded him in police custody for one day. The FIR, filed on the complaint of Radhika's uncle Kuldeep Yadav, stated that the incident occurred around 10:30 am. Kuldeep, who lives on the ground floor of the familys double-storey home in Sector 57, said he heard a loud noise and rushed upstairs, where he found Radhika lying in a pool of blood in the kitchen. A licensed .32 bore revolver, believed to be the murder weapon, was found in the drawing room. Kuldeep and his son Piyush rushed Radhika to a private hospital in Sector 56, where doctors declared her dead on arrival. The FIR also mentions that Radhika, her father Deepak, and her mother Manju lived on the first floor, while Kuldeep and his family stayed on the ground floor. Radhika's brother, Dheeraj, was not present at the time of the incident. While initial police reports claimed that Radhika was shot around 2 pm, Kuldeep Yadavs version places the timing much earlier. The police also said earlier that Deepak had fired at least five rounds, three of which struck Radhika from behind, a claim now challenged by the postmortem. Radhika's mother was reportedly in the house at the time. Police are now probing what she was doing when the incident occurred. Earlier statements had said she was on the ground floor and rushed upstairs after hearing the gunshots, which she mistook for a pressure cooker blast. Police said the motive appeared to be a long-standing dispute between the father and daughter over the tennis academy Radhika operated. Radhika used to run a tennis academy, and her father was not happy with it, said Gurugram Police spokesperson Sandeep Singh to news agency PTI. Radhika, who had won several trophies as a professional tennis player, was described by her uncle as a talented and driven young woman. I am shocked that my brother could do this, he said. Sources have also indicated that Radhika's growing interest in becoming a social media influencer may have contributed to tensions with her father. Following her death, a music video titled KARWAAN , featuring the young tennis player, has surfaced online, prompting speculation about its possible link to the motive behind the murder. According to the AITA website, Radhika Yadav played in qualifying rounds of tournaments in Indore and Kuala Lumpur earlier this year. She held an ITF ranking of 1999, with a career-best AITA Under-18 ranking of 75 and women's singles ranking of 35. She was very promising in her junior days and wanted to start an academy to train future players, AITA official Anil Dhupar told PTI. Haryana Tennis Association president Suman Kapur said Radhika was part of the Haryana team during the 2023 National Games but later did not make the state squad. Her academy was not registered with HTA, and we have little information about her coaching activities, Kapur added. (With inputs from PTI)
