Ruling front in Tripura to fight ADC elections independently
In Bengaluru, Police arrested Mithun Sarkar, a massage therapist from Tripura. He allegedly abused a delivery executive, Ranjith, for speaking in Kannada. Sarkar reportedly insulted Kannadigas and Karnataka during a phone call. Ranjith shared the audio with a pro-Kannada group, leading to a police complaint. Sarkar faces charges under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
KOLKATA: Beginning his speech with Jai Maa Kali, and Jai Maa Durga chants in a bid to connect with the Bengali psyche, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said that BJP is the only party that truly respects and protects Bengali 'ashmita' (pride). Highlighting the BJP's plans towards the development of West Bengal, he urged the people of the state to dislodge the ruling Trinamool Congress government alleging it to be corrupt and non-performing. Bikoshito Bangla Modir Guarantee (Developed Bengal is Modis Guarantee), the prime minister said as he unveiled a slew of developmental projects for the state worth around Rs 5,400 crore. Addressing a public rally at Durgapur, PM Modi launched a scathing attack at the TMC government, calling it a barrier to the development of the state. When this barrier falls down, Bengal will rapidly progress on the path of development. Bengal will play a very important role in our goal to achieve Vikshit Bharat, Modi said. West Bengal will play an important role in making a developed India. For this reason, today the BJP is seeking your blessings. BJP has come to power in Assam after a long time. Today Assam is progressing at a great pace. The BJP government has also done a great job in Tripura. The BJP has formed a government in Odisha. You will see that development will be very fast in Odisha too, he said. So, give BJP a chance for once. Those who are honest, efficient and courageous. Developed Bengal is Modi's guarantee. Developed Bengal is BJP's resolve, Modi stressed. Stating that Bengal used to be the centre of India's development and an employment hub, he said, But now the picture has changed. Today, the youth are leaving West Bengal. Even for small jobs, they have to go to other states. Bengal wants change, wants developmentI am telling you that it is possible to change the situation in Bengal. After the BJP government comes here, West Bengal will become one of the most industrialized states, he said. Responding to allegations by Chief Minister Mamata Bannerjee and the TMC regarding the harassment of Bengali-speaking migrants in several BJP-ruled states, including Assam, Gujarat, Delhi, Odisha, and Maharashtra, PM Modi said that Bengali pride is of utmost importance for the BJP. For BJP, Bengali identity is above all. But what is happening here? Trinamool is threatening West Bengal's culture for its own sake. It is bringing in infiltrators, making fake identity cards. It has created an ecosystem, as a result, the country is being harmed, Bengal is being harmed. They have crossed all limits (for appeasement), he said. But from the land of Maa Durga, I want to say that those who are not citizens of India, those who have infiltrated, will be dealt with in a fair manner according to the constitution of India. BJP will not allow any conspiracy against Bengali identity to succeed. This is Modi's guarantee, he added. Modi further accused the TMC government of being partisan. Imagine for a moment a place like Murshidabad where there is rioting, violence in small incidents and the police work for one party, where there is no hope of justice, how is it possible to invest there. Here the state government cannot protect people's lives and shops. That is why investors are worried, he claimed. The Trinamool's goon tax is creating obstacles to investment in Bengal. Here the government has only allowed its leaders to openly commit corruption. That is why many companies have left West Bengal. That is why the youth community here is not able to progress. The state is in a bad condition. That is why today everyone is saying, Trinamool Hatao, save Bengal, he alleged. Referring to the school jobs scam, Modi alleged thousands of teachers were rendered jobless due to corruption at the grassroots. Jobless families are facing problems, while the future of students is in darkness. The situation is such that the court is saying that this is systemic corruption. Trinamool has put both the present and future of Bengal in crisis, he said. In apparent reference to the sexual assault and murder of a woman doctor at Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in August last year, Modi said, This land belongs to Dr Kadambari Ganguly, who was the first modern woman doctor. Today is her birthday. But hospitals in West Bengal are not safe. You have seen how Trinamool tried to hide the criminals after the atrocities were committed on a woman doctor.

RAIPUR: As many as 177 security personnel, including nearly 40 from paramilitary forces deployed in Chhattisgarh, died by suicide in the state in the last six-and-a-half years, Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Sharma has informed the assembly. Family, personal issues and health grounds were among the reasons responsible for these suicides, police investigations have found. In a written reply to a question by senior BJP MLA Ajay Chandrakar, Deputy CM Sharma, who holds the home portfolio, informed the House on Wednesday about cases of suicide by security personnel and murders committed by them. As per the reply, 177 security personnel died by suicide in the state between 2019 and June 15, 2025. Of them, 26 personnel belonged to the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), five to the Border Security Force (BSF), three to the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) and one each to the Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB), the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) and Tripura State Rifles, it said. The other personnel who died belonged to different wings of the state police, including the Chhattisgarh Armed Force, Special Task Force, and Home Guard, the reply said. The CRPF, BSF and ITBP have been extensively deployed in the state for anti-Naxal operations. According to the government document, 25 security personnel died by suicide in 2019, 38 in 2020, 24 in 2021, 31 in 2022, 22 in 2023, 29 in 2024 and 8 in 2025 (till June 15).

These incidents included a few fratricides in which jawans opened fire on their colleagues. The written reply by Deputy CM Sharma further stated that upon occurrence of an incident (of suicide/murder by security personnel), investigations are conducted by registering a case with police. During investigation, statements of departmental officers/employees, family members of the deceased and other witnesses are taken in pursuant of further action. In the investigation of such cases, it has been found that officers/employees mainly die by suicide/murder due to family, personal issues, addiction to alcohol, health reasons and sudden anger, the government reply said. All Superintendents of Police/Commanders have been carrying out welfare activities like counselling by psychiatrists regarding family problems, depression and mental stress among their subordinate police officers/employees. The seniors are also providing group counselling, giving regular leave and organising yoga and cultural programmes, among other events, for their subordinates, it said.

Motivational sessions are organised for de-addiction and alcohol addicts are encouraged to get treatment in rehabilitation centres, according to the reply. Officers/employees from constable to inspector level are paid 13 months salary every year. A grievance register is maintained at every police station and company level to address problems of employees. District SPs/Commanders regularly listen to grievances of employees and try to resolve them, it said. During inspections, senior officers also listen to grievances of employees and make all possible efforts to solve them. Every year, the state/district-level advisory committee holds a meeting to address problems of employees, the government told the House. Every week on Tuesday and Friday, the Director General of Police listens to grievances of employees at Police Headquarters and resolves them as soon as possible, it added.

Union Minister Amit Shah targets 25 per cent vote share in upcoming Kerala local body polls
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Setting the BJPs poll agenda in the state, Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday projected 25% vote share for the saffron party in the upcoming local body election. Addressing the party workers in Thiruvananthapuram, Shah trained guns on Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and claimed the BJP-led NDA will form government in Kerala in 2026. Highlighting the Centres contributions to Keralas infrastructure, Shah said contrary to perception, central allocations to the state have increased. He pointed out that the railway budget allocation for Kerala, which was just Rs 372 crore in 2004, has increased to Rs 3,700 crore under the Modi government. The Union minister addressed a massive gathering of party workers at Putharikandam ground at the Vikasitha Keralam (Developed Kerala) event, which marked a significant show of strength for the BJP in the state. In his speech, Shah lashed out at both the ruling LDF and the Opposition UDF, accusing them of decades of corruption and neglect. For real change, Kerala must stop rotating power between the UDF and LDF. Both these fronts focus only on the development of their cadre. Only the BJP can ensure the development of the state, he said. Energising the crowd of around 30,000 party workers by raising Bharat Mata Ki Jai slogan, he took a swipe at CM Pinarayi Vijayan. Let our voices be loud enough so that even the chief minister, who is abroad, hears about this powerful gathering, he said. Rejecting the perception that the BJP is a party limited to northern India, Shah pointed to its growth in Odisha, Tripura, Telangana and Assam. BJP is now a national party in every sense, he said, urging the partys grassroots workers to take the message of Viksit Bharat and Vikasitha Keralam to every household. The Union home minister launched a fierce attack on the LDF and UDF, accusing them of turning Kerala into a hub of corruption and lawlessness. He also drew comparisons between major corruption scandals during their respective tenures. He termed the gold smuggling case as the biggest government-sponsored corruption. LDF has been tainted by the cooperative bank scam, Exalogic scam, LIFE Mission scam, K-Fone scam, PPE kit scam, and more, he said. Shah also questioned the LDFs inaction against the now-banned PFI, saying it was the Modi government that finally cracked down on the outfit. Targeting the UDF, Shah brought up the solar scam, the bar bribery scandal and the Palarivattom flyover scam. Accusing both the fronts of betraying public trust and misusing power for personal gain, Shah said: There is not even a single corruption charge against the Modi-led central government, he added. Kerala has given enough opportunities to both the LDF and UDF, but in return, they engaged in corruption and turned the state into a breeding ground for anti-national elements, Shah said. Stating that the partys support in the state has grown significantly, Shah targeted over 25% vote share in the state.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah visiting Rajarajeshwara temple at Taliparamba in Kannur on Saturday evening Targeting the UDF, Shah brought up the solar scam, the bar bribery scandal and the Palarivattom flyover scam. Accusing both the fronts of betraying public trust and misusing power for personal gain, Shah said: There is not even a single corruption charge against the Modi-led Union government, he added. Kerala has given enough opportunities to both the LDF and UDF, but in return, they engaged in corruption and turned the state into a breeding ground for anti-national elements, Shah said. Stating that the partys support in the state has grown significantly, from 11% vote share in 2014 to 20% in 2024, Shah expressed confidence about forming a BJP-led government in Kerala in 2026. He also announced that the BJP will contest in 21,000 wards in the local body elections, with the aim of securing over 25% of the votes. Shah strongly pitched the BJPs development model, asserting that it rests on three key pillarscorruption-free governance, non-discriminatory implementation of welfare schemes and prioritising development above vote bank politics. Rejecting the perception that the BJP is a party limited to northern India, Shah pointed to its growth in Odisha, Tripura, Telangana and Assam. BJP is now a national party in every sense, he said, urging the partys grassroots workers to take the message of Viksit Bharat and Vikasita Keralam to every household. Addressing the gathering, BJP state president Rajeev Chandrasekhar criticised both the LDF and UDF for Keralas economic challenges. The state is grappling with unemployment and inflation, yet neither the government nor the Opposition is doing anything about it. Only BJP can bring meaningful development, he said. Senior party leaders, including Prakash Javadekar, V Muraleedharan, K Surendran, P C George, Kummanam Rajasekharan, O Rajagopal and Shone George were also present at the event. Earlier in the day, Shah inaugurated Mararji Bhavan, the BJPs new state headquarters, at Aristo Junction in Thiruvananthapuram. He hoisted the party flag at the new state office and planted a Kanikonna (Golden Shower Tree) on the premises.

India's health survey data reveals 13% children born prematurely, 17% with low birth weight
NEW DELHI: India's demographic health survey 2019-21 reveals that 13 percent of children were born prematurely, and 17 percent with a low weight at birth, with air pollution contributing to the adverse birth outcomes. Researchers from the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, International Institute for Population Sciences, Mumbai, and institutes in the UK and Ireland looked at the National Family Health Survey-5 and remote sensing data to analyse how exposure to air pollution in pregnancy impacted the delivery outcomes. The team found that an increased exposure to PM2.5 during pregnancy was related with a 40 percent chance of low birth weight, and 70 percent of premature delivery. Climate conditions, such as rainfall and temperature, were found to have a greater link with adverse birth outcomes. The study, published in the journal PLoS Global Public Health, also found that children living in the northern districts of India could be more vulnerable to the ambient air pollution. Measuring under 2.5 microns in diameter, fine particulate matter 2.5 (PM2.5) is considered among the most harmful air pollutants, sources of which include burning of fossil fuels and biomass. The researchers found higher levels of PM2.5 pollutants over the upper Gangetic region, covering states like Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Delhi, Punjab and Haryana, and lower levels in the country's southern and north-eastern regions. A higher prevalence of premature births was seen in northern states, such as Himachal Pradesh (39 percent), Uttarakhand (27 percent), Rajasthan (18 percent), and Delhi (17 percent). Mizoram, Manipur and Tripura exhibited a lower prevalence of the trend. Punjab was found to have the highest prevalence of lower birth weight at 22 percent, followed by Delhi, Dadra and Nagar Haveli, Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh. North-east India fared far better on the metric, the authors said. Utilising data from the national family health survey and raster images, the study employs various statistical analyses and spatial models to elucidate the connection between in-utero exposure to air pollution and birth outcomes, the authors wrote. They observed that approximately 13 percent of children were born prematurely, and 17 percent were born with low birth weight. Further, an increase of 10 microgram per cubic metre in PM2.5 exposure was associated with an increase of five per cent in the prevalence of low birth weight, and 12 per cent in premature birth. The team added that 18 percent of children born in the five years preceding the National Family Health Survey-5 had a low weight at birth. The authors called for targeted interventions, especially in the northern districts, and an intensification of the National Clean Air Program. Launched in 2019, the programme is aimed at improving air quality in India by addressing PM levels. The researchers also advocated for climate adaptation strategies, such as heat action plans and water management, to be included in public health planning. Awareness of risks due to air pollution and climate change should be raised as part of public health initiatives, especially among pregnant women, the team said.
