Conservancy workers being forced into manual scavenging in Thane hospital: Labour union
THANE: A labour union on Saturday alleged 'safai karamcharis' (conservancy workers) of Thane Regional Mental Hospital are being forced to indulge in manual scavenging in contravention of provisions of the Prohibition of Employment as Manual Scavengers and their Rehabilitation Act 2013. These workers, who number more than a hundred, have also been denied basic wages, safety equipment and mandated health facilities by the Pune-based contracting firm that has deployed them, claimed Sharmik Janata Sangh general secretary Jagdish Khairalia. These safai karamcharis are cleaning excreta with their bare hands. This is not only illegal but also inhumane. Despite working there since 2008, they have not been paid salaries in time. Uniforms have been distributed only once in six years, and the workers have never been provided with protective gear or safety equipment while handling biohazardous waste, he told reporters. Orissa HC expresses shock over manual drain cleaning, orders CMC to use machines As per Prohibition of Employment as Manual Scavengers and their Rehabilitation Act 2013, also called the MS Act, manual scavenging is a banned activity in the country with effect from December 6, 2013. Manual scavenging means a person engaged or employed by an individual or local authority or a public or private agency for manually cleaning and disposing of or handling in any manner human excreta in a unsanitary latrine, open drain or pit. The wages paid are below the rates prescribed under Minimum Wages Act, and even these are often delayed beyond the legally mandated 7th of each month, he added. Due to the contractor's mistake, the workers are not receiving ESIC benefits, while the hospital administration, which as per the agreement is the principal employer, is turning a blind eye to the situation, Khairalia alleged. The state chief secretary, the labour and health departments must immediately intervene to ensure these workers get justice, the Shramik Janata Sangh general secretary said.

India supports Gaza ceasefire, humanitarian aid, and hostage release at UNSC
Permanent Representative of India to the United Nations Ambassador Parvathaneni Harish said that mere pauses in hostilities are not enough to address the worsening humanitarian situation
'World sleeps; while it is awake, its conscience is buried': Chidambaram on Gaza humanitarian crisis
NEW DELHI: Senior Congress leader and former Finance Minister P Chidambaram on Thursday raised concerns on the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and said that every day, the number of killings in the region is in the double digits, with many of them being women and children. In a post on X, Chidambaram said, Humanity is shamed in Gaza every day, the number of killings in Gaza is in the double-digits. Many of them are women and children who had nothing to do with starting the conflict. He said that 1000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza while trying to get food. According to the UN, over 1000 Palestinians have been killed since May while trying to get food in the Gaza Strip Look at the pictures of hungry children at refugee camps. It is obvious they are starving -- and dying, Chidambaram said. The world sleeps; while it is awake, its conscience is buried, he said. Earlier, India called for immediate ceasefire in Gaza, uninterrupted humanitarian aid and release of hostages to address the deepening crisis in the region. Speaking at the United Nations Security Council's quarterly open debate on the Middle East, India's Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Ambassador Parvathaneni Harish, said that mere pauses in hostilities are not enough to address the worsening humanitarian situation. Intermittent pauses in hostilities are not enough to address the scale of humanitarian challenges confronting the people, who grapple daily with acute shortages of food and fuel, inadequate medical services and lack of access to education, he said. Harish expressed concern over the collapsing healthcare and education systems in Gaza. WHO estimates that around 95 percent of all hospitals in Gaza are damaged or destroyed. The Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights reports that more than 6,50,000 children have had no schooling for over 20 months, he said. Israel's war on Gaza, since Oct. 7, 2023, has now killed at least 58,386 people and wounded 139,077, mostly women and children, according to the Gaza Health Ministry's data. 'Gaza is dying, we are dying with it': AFP, Al Jazeera says its journalists in Gaza could die of hunger Israeli strikes kill at least 21 in Gaza as rights groups warn of 'mass starvation'
India has called for renewed dialogue and diplomacy to achieve peace in the Middle East, emphasizing that temporary pauses in hostilities are insufficient. Addressing the UN Security Council, Ambassador Harish Parvathaneni stressed the need for a ceasefire, release of hostages, and a two-state solution.

India calls for ceasefire in Gaza, says intermittent pauses 'not enough'
UNITED NATIONS: Voicing concern over the persisting humanitarian crisis in Gaza, India asserted that a ceasefire must be put in place, emphasising that intermittent pauses in hostilities are ot enough to address the scale of challenges facing the region's people. Todays meeting takes place against the backdrop of a persisting humanitarian crisis in Gaza, said Indias Permanent Representative to the UN Ambassador Parvathaneni Harish, addressing an open debate inthe UN Security Council on Wednesday. Intermittent pauses in hostilities are not enough to address the scale of humanitarian challenges confronting the people, who grapple daily with acute shortages of food and fuel, inadequate medical services and lack of access to education, Harish said at the open debate on the 'Situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian question'. Underlining that the way ahead is clear, and highlighting Indias consistent position in this regard, Harish said the ongoing human suffering must not be allowed to continue. Humanitarian assistance needs to be facilitated in a safe, sustained and timely manner. There is no substitute to peace. A ceasefire must be put in place. All hostages must be released. Dialogue and diplomacy remain the only viable paths to achieving these objectives. There are no other fixes or solutions, he said. He also expressed hope that an upcoming UN conference on the Israel-Palestine conflict would pave the way for concrete steps towards achieving a two-State solution. Harish told the Council debate, held under Pakistans presidency of the Security Council for the month of July, that India shares historic and strong ties with its Palestinian brothers and sisters. We have always stood by them and our commitment towards the Palestinian cause is unwavering, he said, noting that India was the first non-Arab country to recognise the State of Palestine. Describing the health and education situation in Gaza as particularly troubling, Harish said the World Health Organisation estimates that around 95 per cent of all hospitals in Gaza are damaged or destroyed. The Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights reports that more than 650,000 children have had no schooling for over 20 months, he said. Harish said that India takes note of the High-Level International Conference on the implementation of a two-State solution scheduled for July 28-30. While engaging in a forward-leaning and constructive manner, it is our hope that this conference would pave the way for concrete steps towards achieving a two-State solution, Harish said. He said India underscores its readiness to contribute to efforts aimed atshaping a political horizon that restores hope for the Palestinians and achieving sustained peace in the Middle East. #IndiaAtUN PR @AmbHarishP delivered s statement at the @UN Security Council Quarterly Open Debate on the Situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian question. @MEAIndia @IndianDiplomacy pic.twitter.com/T7NNvIXzqk India at UN, NY (@IndiaUNNewYork) July 23, 2025 The high-level conference, co-chaired by Saudi Arabia and France, was scheduled to take place from June 17-20 but was postponed due to escalating tensions in the region. UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres has stressed that it is essential to keep alive the two-State solution perspective with all the terrible things we are witnessing in Gaza and the West Bank. And for those that doubt about the two-state solution, I ask: What is the alternative? Is it a one-state solution in which either the Palestinians are expelled or the Palestinians will be forced to live in their land without rights? That would be totally unacceptable. I firmly believe that it is the duty of the international community to keep the two-State solution alive and then to materialise the conditions to make it happen, he had said. President of the General Assembly Philemon Yang has described the international conference as a crucial opportunity that we must seize to chart an irreversible path towards the implementation of the two-State solution. It is imperative that this conference succeeds. India reiterated that the pathway to enduring peace is rooted in a two-State solution - one that establishes a sovereign, viable and independent State of Palestine within recognised and mutually agreed borders, living side by side with Israel in peace. Indias endeavour is to make a tangible impact on the daily lives of the Palestinians by implementing projects in diverse sectors, and the country is currently implementing projects valued at more than USD 40 million, Harish said.
Mumbai and surrounding regions are preparing for severe weather as the IMD and BMC have issued warnings for heavy rainfall and high tidal waves.

Man assaults Thane hospital receptionist after being stopped from jumping queue; arrested
THANE: Police have arrested a man who allegedly assaulted a woman receptionist at a private paediatrics hospital here after she refused to allow him to walk into the doctor's chamber without an appointment, officials said on Wednesday. A viral video shows the accused, a migrant from Bihar, kicking the receptionist, who hails from Maharashtra, and dragging her by her hair across the reception floor of the hospital at Kalyan in Thane district on Monday evening. She was rescued by relatives of other patients. The accused, identified as Gokul Jha, was angry as the 25-year-old receptionist didn't allow him and a woman accompanying him with a baby to jump the queue and meet the doctor who was busy with other patients, as per the First Information Report (FIR). The receptionist suffered critical injuries and was undergoing treatment at a hospital in Dombivli, according to police. Based on the victim's complaint, the police registered the FIR under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita for assault, using obscene language, and outraging the modesty of a woman, an official earlier said. The accused was arrested late Tuesday evening, a police official said. This kind of violence will not be tolerated under any circumstances. Our team worked tirelessly to track and arrest the accused, Gokul Jha, in Kalyan. He will be produced before the court on Wednesday, Deputy Commissioner of Police Atul Zende told reporters. Leaders across party lines condemned the attack. BJP state president Ravindra Chavan met with DCP Zende late Tuesday night and insisted on swift action. Shiv Sena's district president Dipesh Mhatre and local Maharashtra Navnirman Sena leader Raju Patil also sought strict action by police in the matter. The main accused, Gokul Jha, was arrested due to the alertness of citizens and diligence of the police force. He has a criminal history, including previous cases registered at Vitthalwadi and Kolsewadi police stations. He recently came out on bail in a serious criminal case, Zende said. Three other persons - Jha's brother and two women who were present at the scene -- have also been detained, according to the police. Their involvement was being investigated. CCTV footage from the hospital and nearby areas was being scrutinised to identify all those involved in the attack, they said. The investigation is underway, Zende said and assured every aspect of the case will be thoroughly examined.

Raj Thackeray faces flak from Congress, AAP over remarks on Sardar Patel
Addressing a rally in Maharashtra`s Thane district on Friday, the MNS chief said when migrants from Bihar were beaten up and driven away in Gujarat, it did not become an issue, but a minor incident in Maharashtra became a national issue
AHMEDABAD: The Congress, AAP and Patidar leaders in Gujarat have criticised Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray over his comments about Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and former Prime Minister Morarji Desai. They have also demanded a ban on Thackerays entry to Gujarat and an FIR against him. Addressing a rally in Maharashtra's Thane district on Friday, the MNS chief said when migrants from Bihar were eaten up and driven away in Gujarat, it did not become an issue, but a minor incident in Maharashtra became a national issue. He also referred to Morarji Desai and Sardar Patels alleged anti-Marathi stand after independence. Over the past few weeks, MNS workers have been aggressively demanding that those living in Maharashtra learn Marathi. They have also assaulted a few shopkeepers for failing to respond in Marathi. Gujarat Congress' newly appointed president Amit Chavda on Sunday said making a statement against Sardar Saheb was akin to throwing dust in front of the sun. If you do politics on the soil of Gujarat, you will get an answer, he added. Aam Aadmi Partys state president Isudan Gadhvi said Gujaratis will never tolerate Thackerays remarks. Your politics is not working, so you are insulting not only the Gujarati people but also the leader of the entire country, Sardar Patel, he said. Gadhvi appealed to Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel and state BJP president CR Paatil to get an FIR registered against Thackeray. Sardar Patel united 565 princely states and created a united India. When Sardar Patel passed away, he had only Rs 261 in his account. Yet, some Maharashtra leaders are trying to further their political agenda by using derogatory language for such a great personality, he said. Patidar leader Manoj Panara submitted a petition to the police in Morbi city, demanding a sedition case against Thackeray and a ban on his entry to Gujarat. We strongly condemn the comments he made about Sardar Saheb and former PM Morarji Desai. In the coming days, we will knock on the doors of courts and offices and take legal action against him, he said. Patidar leader Alpesh Kathiria said Thackeray has no right to insult national icons. Sardar Patel Group president Lalji Patel and Patidar Yuva Sangh led by Manoj Panara have also condemned Thackerays statements. Panara has demanded that the MNS chief, whose mentality he termed narrow, be banned from entering Gujarat. Lalji Patel alleged Thackeray has always been anti-Gujarati. He will never become a national leader unless he changes his stance against people from other states, Lalji Patel added.

Uttarakhand's biggest ecstasy bust: Kingpin held, massive MDMA seizure
DEHRADUN: A major illicit drug manufacturing unit has been busted in Nanakmatta, Uttarakhand, resulting in the arrest of its alleged operator, Kunal Ram Kohli from Tanakpur. According to police sources, the joint operation conducted by the Uttarakhand Special Task Force (STF) and Udham Singh Nagar Police also led to the recovery of significant quantities of raw materials used in the production of MDMA (commonly known as Ecstasy), sourced from Banaras and Ghaziabad. Speaking to TNIE , Udham Singh Nagar Senior Superintendent of Police, Manikant Mishra, said: We have confiscated 126 litres of banned chemicals and 28 kilograms of powder. This raw material was sufficient to produce approximately 12 kilograms of MDMA. Additionally, 7.41 grams of finished MDMA were also seized during the raid. This marks one of the largest drug-related crackdowns in the region to date. Providing further details on Tuesday, Director General of Police Deepam Seth linked the arrest to earlier operations. On 11 July, Champawat Police had arrested a woman named Isha, from whom over five kilograms of MDMA were seized. Prior to this, the Mumbai Police and Crime Branch had also conducted operations in various parts of the Kumaon region, DGP Seth stated. Investigations had earlier revealed that MDMA was being produced at a chicken farm in the Thal police station area of Pithoragarh. Mumbai Police had arrested several traffickers and manufacturers from that site. Ongoing investigations by both the Mumbai and Champawat Police eventually identified Kunal Ram Kohli as a key suspect. He had been under close surveillance by the STF and police teams from Pithoragarh, Champawat, and Udham Singh Nagar. Intelligence reports later located him in the Nursery Tiraha area of Nanakmatta. Acting on this information, the STF and Nanakmatta Police successfully arrested Kohli on Monday evening. The raw materials were subsequently recovered following his interrogation. Police confirmed that the illicit MDMA was intended for supply to Mumbai. Authorities also revealed that the trafficking and manufacturing network has links extending into Nepal. Kohli reportedly procured the raw chemicals from factories based in Banaras and Ghaziabad. The police have since issued directives to monitor chemical manufacturing units across Uttarakhand, suspecting potential involvement in similar illegal operations. Confiscated raw materials include: Dichloromethane: 57.5 litres Acetone for Synthesis: 20 litres Hydrochloric Acid: 47.5 litres Methylamine Solution: 500 millilitres Sodium Hydroxide: 28 kilograms About Ecstasy (MDMA): Ecstasy, or MDMA (3,4-Methylenedioxy-N-methamphetamine), is an illicitly manufactured stimulant drug that can produce both euphoric and hallucinogenic effects. It is commonly misused in party and nightlife settings and poses significant health risks.

Auto-rickshaw driver thrashed by Sena workers over 'anti-Marathi' remarks ; video goes viral
PALGHAR : A video showing an auto-rickshaw driver being beaten up allegedly by Shiv Sena (UBT) workers in Maharashtra's Palghar district for 'anti-Marathi' remarks has gone viral on social media, further fuelling controversy over the language issue in the state. Police on Sunday said they have seen the video but not received any formal complaint in the matter so far, hence no case has been registered as of now. A local functionary of the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena (UBT) claimed the auto-rickshaw driver was taught a befitting lesson and asserted that anyone insulting the Marathi language and the state will be given a reply in the rue Shiv Sena style. The auto-rickshaw driver, a migrant residing in Virar area of Palghar, had allegedly made derogatory remarks against the Marathi language, Maharashtra and Marathi icons. Its clip had also earlier surfaced on social media, drawing sharp reactions online and from local political groups. In the new video of the confrontation which took place on Saturday, the auto-rickshaw driver is seen being slapped allegedly by a group of Shiv Sena (UBT) workers, including women, on a busy road near Virar railway station. He is then made to publicly apologise to a man and his sister, with whom he allegedly misbehaved earlier, as well as to the state for insulting it and its linguistic and cultural heritage. Shiv Sena (UBT) Virar city chief Uday Jadhav, who was present at the scene, later justified the action. If anyone dares to insult the Marathi language, Maharashtra, or Marathi people, they will get a reply in the true Shiv Sena style. We will not sit silent, Jadhav told reporters. The driver had the audacity to speak ill of Maharashtra and Marathi manoos. He was taught a befitting lesson. We made him apologise to the people of the state and to those he had offended, he added. When contacted, a senior police official confirmed the incident occurred on Saturday, but said no formal complaint had been lodged so far. We have seen the viral video and are verifying the facts, but as of now, no complaint has been received from either party, the official said. Amid the language controversy, workers of the Raj Thackeray-led Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) slapped a food stall owner at Bhayander in neighbouring Thane district on July 1 for not speaking in Marathi. Traders from the area later staged a protest against it. On July 8, the MNS and other groups led a protest march in Mira Bhayandar area to defend the Marathi 'asmita' (pride) and counter the traders' agitation. The march witnessed detention of several activists by the police, with leaders and workers of the opposition Shiv Sena (UBT) and NCP (SP) also joining the protest.

Maha war over MNS rally in Thane, Sena minister tries to join protest
MUMBAI: Hundreds took part in a protest march led by the MNS and other groups to defend the Marathi asmita (pride) in Mira Bhayandar area in Thane near Mumbai on Tuesday amid rising political heat following the attack on a shopkeeper for refusal to speak Marathi. The march witnessed detention of several activists by the police with leaders and workers of opposition Shiv Sena (UBT) and NCP (SP) also joining the protest. Shiv Sena minister Pratap Sarnaik was heckled and driven away by angry demonstrators as he visited the site to express solidarity. The march was organised by the Raj Thackeray-led MNS and other pro-Marathi groups under the aegis of Marathi Ekikaran Samiti to counter a protest staged by traders recently against the slapping of a food stall owner by MNS workers on July 1 for not speaking Marathi. Rajan Vichare, former Shiv Sena (UBT) Lok Sabha MP who was leading the protest, said that due to the unity of Marathi manoos, the BJP-led state government was forced to withdraw the government resolutions for imposition of Hindi in Maharashtra. In Mira Bhayandar, police gave permission for non-Marathi people protests, but they refused permission to Marathi people. Police imposed curfew restricting the assembling of more than five people at one place. This shows that Marathi people cannot speak and protest freely in their own state, Vichare said. Maharashtra police on Monday issued notices to MNS and Shiv Sena (UBT) leaders and workers and discouraged them from participating in the protest. They forgot that this is the land of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. We will fight for our rights. We will not tolerate any harassment and tyranny. BJP is trying to suppress the voice of Marathi manoos. All community people supported this march, said MNS leader Avinash Jadhav. Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena MLA and minister Pratap Sarnaik tried to participate in this march, but people shooed him away by hurling slogans against him. An empty beer bottle was thrown at the minister. Police then intervened and asked the minister to leave the protest. Sarnaik said the MNS and Shiv Sena (UBT) are doing politics over Marathi and non-Marathi issues. I am also a Marathi. But some people who are against me provoked the crowd, therefore they spoke against me. Some anti-social elements entered this Marathi manoos march, therefore they hurled the bottle, the minister said. Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aditya Thackeray said, State government gave permission for non-Marathi people to march but refused it for Marathi people. It shows that the current government is anti-Marathi and Maharashtra. We met chief justice of India Bhushan Gavai and conveyed all these sentiments. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said the police did not deny the permission for Marathi people to march. They were demanding a specific route, which would have caused law and order problem, so the permission was denied. Law has to be followed. The police were not against the Marathi peoples marach, but wanted them to follow certain routes and guidelines, he clarified.
