52 lactation management centres in India, most in Tamil Nadu
NEW DELHI: India currently has 52 comprehensive lactation management centres (CLMC) equipped to provide safe and pasteurized donor human milk to preterm, premature, low birth weight, and sick babies, the Rajya Sabha was informed. According to Union Women and Child Development Minister Annapurna Devi, 19 of the 52 lactation management units (CLMC) in India are located in Tamil Nadu. Additionally, Tamil Nadu houses 20 of the 49 lactation management units (LMUs) in the country, the minister said in a written reply in response to a question by Shiv Sena MP Priyanka Chaturvedi on Wednesday. Devi said the central government had established CLMC to ensure the availability of safe, pasteurized donor human milk and LMU to facilitate the expression of mothers own milk for feeding of sick, preterm and low birth weight babies admitted in Neonatal Intensive Care Units and Special Newborn Care Units. These comprehensive lactation management centres (CLMCs) are not just facilities, but lifelines for our most vulnerable infants. They play a crucial role in addressing these infants nutritional and developmental needs, ensuring they receive the essential nourishment required for healthy growth and development. The minister underscored the governments commitment to supporting working mothers. To facilitate their ability to give due care and protection to their children, the ministry has introduced the Palna sub-scheme under Mission Shakti for all states and UTs from April 1, 2022. This scheme provides daycare facilities and protection to children, thereby enabling mothers to participate more fully in the workforce. Palna is a centrally sponsored scheme that ensures the state governments participation in its day-to-day monitoring and proper implementation. Under the Palna sub-scheme, the ministry has extended free services of childcare through Anganwadi cum Crche (AWCC). The minister said this initiative is a testament to the governments commitment to providing whole-day childcare support, ensuring childrens well-being in a safe and secure environment. The ministry has approved 5,631 AWCCs in the country. A total of 1428 government-aided standalone creches and 735 Anganwadi-cum-Creches are operational in the country, the minister added. Kerala, at 266, has the highest number of standalone creches in the country. It is followed by Manipur (214), Karnataka (170), Haryana (165), Punjab (143), Tamil Nadu (141), and Tripura (114). Mizoram has the highest number of AWCC at 176, followed by Karnataka at 164. They are followed by Nagaland (94), Chandigarh (89), Delhi (57), and Meghalaya (48). The initiative aims to increase womens workforce participation in the economy. The objective of Palna component is to provide quality creche facility in a safe and secure environment for children (from ages six months - 6 years), nutritional support, health and cognitive development of children, growth monitoring, immunization and pre-primary education, she said.
US revises travel advisory for India: Avoid Manipur, J&K, India-Pak border, and Central & East India
WASHINGTON: The US has asked its nationals not to travel to Manipur, Jammu and Kashmir, the India-Pakistan border, and parts of central and eastern parts of the country where Naxalites are active. In a revised travel advisory for India, the State Department said it has updated to reflect information on the northeastern states. Exercise increased caution in India due to crime and terrorism. Some areas have increased risk, it said. Overall India has been placed at Level 2. But several parts of the country have been placed on Level 4: Jammu and Kashmir, India-Pak border, Manipur and parts of Central and East India. Do not travel to: The union territory of Jammu and Kashmir (except the eastern Ladakh region and its capital, Leh) due to terrorism and civil unrest; within 10 km of the India-Pakistan border due to the potential for armed conflict; portions of Central and East India due to terrorism and Manipur due to violence and crime, said the State Department. In addition, it recommended Americans to reconsider travel to the northeastern states due to terrorism and violence. Indian authorities report that rape is one of the fastest growing crimes in India. Violent crime, such as sexual assault, has happened at tourist sites and other locations. Terrorists may attack with little or no warning. They target tourist locations, transportation hubs, markets/shopping malls, and government facilities, the travel advisory said. The US government has limited ability to provide emergency services to US citizens in rural areas. These areas stretch from eastern Maharashtra and northern Telangana through western West Bengal. The US government employees must get special authorization to travel to these areas, it said. Placing Manipur at Level 4: Do Not Travel, the State Department said: Do not travel to Manipur due to the threat of violence and crime. Ongoing ethnic-based civil conflict has resulted in reports of extensive violence and community displacement. Attacks against Indian government targets occur on a regular basis. US government employees traveling in India require prior approval before visiting Manipur. Similarly, terrorist attacks and violent civil unrest are possible in the union territory of Jammu and Kashmir. Do not travel to this state (with the exception of visits to the eastern Ladakh region and its capital, Leh). Violence happens sporadically in this area and is common along the Line of Control (LOC) between India and Pakistan. It also occurs in tourist spots in the Kashmir Valley: Srinagar, Gulmarg, and Pahalgam. The Indian government does not allow foreign tourists to visit certain areas along the LOC, it said. India and Pakistan have a strong military presence on both sides of the border. The only official border crossing for non-citizens of India or Pakistan is in Punjab. It is between Attari, India, and Wagah, Pakistan. The border crossing is usually open, but check its current status before you travel. To enter Pakistan, you need a Pakistani visa. Only US citizens residing in India may apply for a Pakistani visa in India. Otherwise, apply for a Pakistani visa in your home country before traveling to India, it said. Maoist extremist groups, or Naxalites, are active in a large area of India that spans from eastern Maharashtra and northern Telangana through western West Bengal, the advisory said. Attacks against officers of the Indian government continue to occur sporadically in the rural parts of Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand that border Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal, and Odisha. Southwest areas of Odisha are also affected. The Naxalites have carried out many terrorist attacks, targeting local police, paramilitary forces, and government officials, it said. Due to the fluid nature of the threat, US government employees are required to obtain permission prior to traveling to most areas in the states of Bihar, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, West Bengal, Meghalaya, and Odisha. Permission is not required if employees are traveling only to the capital cities of these states. US government employees also need approval to travel to the eastern region of Maharashtra and the eastern region of Madhya Pradesh, the advisory said. In addition, Northeastern States has been given - Level 3: Reconsider Travel. Ethnic insurgent groups occasionally commit acts of violence in parts of the northeast. These incidents include bombings of buses, trains, rail lines, and markets. There have been no recent reports of violence in Assam, Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram, Sikkim, or Tripura, it said. US government employees traveling in India require prior approval before visiting the states of Sikkim, and Arunachal Pradesh, as well as when visiting any areas outside of the capital cities of Assam, Mizoram, Nagaland, Meghalaya, and Tripura, it said.

CHENNAI : How much can a persons clothing reveal about who they are? To women in the humble northeastern state of Tripura, a narrow piece of cloth hides away centuries of indigenous history. The risha assumed to have etymological origins in the old Kokborok language, is a conjunction of the words ri meaning cloth and brsha, meaning small. On Friday, textile designer and founder of Tilla, Aratrik Dev Varman, and designer and illustrator at Tilla, Jisha Unnikrishnan, joined in conversation with the founder of Prakriti Foundation, Ranvir Shah, to discuss the significance of the narrow piece of weaved cloth that marked out a forgotten piece of history and cultural identity. Leaving a womens breasts uncovered may seem to be humiliating or uneasy for many in the present context. However, according to general editor of Marg magazine, Naman P Ahuja says, Covering is a utilitarian requirement for comfort while working rather than one that is based on status or shame. The most recent issue of Marg, Indias oldest art magazine, delves into the case of Tripuri women weaving the breast cloth risha, for this reason, in an attempt to assert a distinctly tribal identity. The colour of the dye, type of patterns and miniscule changes in weaving make the risha different for each tribe. Tilla foundation has worked in the northeast tirelessly for over five years, collecting samples, patterns and designs to revitalise and restore the lost artform. The 1x5-metre-long cotton fabric that wraps around the chest is traditionally woven by women in the tribal communities of Tripura on a loin loom, also known as a komor tant, which is a loom without a frame, held together with tension from the weavers body with a backstrap. Usually, it is accompanied by a knee-length skirt known as rignai, made by sewing together two or more risha-s. Women are taught how to weave at a young age. The risha follows a woman throughout her life, says Aratrik. It is worn after her first time menstruating and gifted to her at her wedding. She is also cremated in her favourite risha, so that she can carry it forward to her next life. The evolution of the risha as a resilient piece of fabric also took it to the royal court, adorned by the Manikyas. In turn for the cottons and natural dyes indigenous communities used, Tripuri royal princesses imported rich silks and elaborate zari work from their neighbouring countries. This dual historic identity makes the risha a distinguished textile. Marg magazine also documents the fall of the risha during the colonial period. European notions of uncivilised clothing had caught on and tribal women with bare shoulders were scorned for it. Secondly, the Swadeshi movement called for a mainstream national identity. In the palace, saris became a more modern, national, and national clothing option, Aratrik explains. Through photographs of Manmohini Devi, Raja Bir Chandras third wife, he traces the trajectory of how the risha changed in the palace. Architect Tirupurasundari Sevvel, who was among the audience, posed a question to the panel: Do the traditional tribal patterns on the risha have any mathematical reasoning to them? No, answers Jisha after a little contemplation. But there is certainly a language to the motifs. In their years of intense research, Aratrik and Jisha have embraced the adaptations and various forms the deceivingly simple piece of cloth had taken. While the old designs have been swapped out for contemporary cross-stitches and the cotton harvested locally has been substituted with shimmery lurex yarn, the weavers still pride themselves on the quality of their work made with the backstrap looms. The cloth that we can weave on this loom is far superior to other cloth. It is tighter and more durable, and even though people have stared weaving our traditional designs on a frame loom, it is not the same, Chandrani Deb Barma testifies. Chandrani is a banker who weaves when she has the time, exemplifying the future of the risha, talking about drawing weaving inspiration from YouTube! Aratrik, contrarily, has vowed to save the past that has been woven with the threads in the risha, choosing not to translate the traditional designs to other clothes like shawls. We need to respect it as a risha, and not as a stole, he concludes.

Tipra Motha chief urges Centre to enhance vigil along border with B'desh
Tipra Motha supremo Pradyot Kishore Manikya Debbarma on Saturday urged the Centre to enhance vigil along the country's border with violence-hit Bangladesh. Tripura shares an 856 km-long border with the neighbouring country. History shows us that whenever there has been unrest in East Pakistan/Bangladesh, Tripura has suffered the most. I appeal to the Govt. of India to ensure that border vigil should be at the highest alert.

79 Tripura graduate teachers move SC against their illegal termination, issues notice
A group of 79 graduate teachers from Tripura has moved the Supreme Court challenging their illegal termination by the state government and sought to be reinstated in their respective jobs. The teachers, in their writ petition filed before the apex court under Article 32 of the Indian Constitution, have accused the Tripura government of arbitrary mass termination in their letter on December 2017 and March 2020. According to the petitioners, who are being represented by advocates Amrit Lal Saha, Tarini K. Nayak and Aaditya Mishra, such arbitrary state action has not only stripped them of their livelihood but have also led to severe consequences including the reported suicides and mysterious deaths of more than 160 affected teachers. The illegal termination violates the very established legal procedures and that the affected teachers have been left in a state of destitution, compelled to take menial jobs such as rickshaw pulling and domestic work to make their ends meet, Nayak said. The petition of the teacers highlighted what it described as a massive scam within the Tripura government, pointing out that despite their terminations, the employment status and salary codes of the petitioners remain active in official records. This, they claimed, results in substantial financial loss to the public exchequer, with monthly remunerations amounting to crores of rupees allegedly being misappropriated by certain state officials. After hearing the petition, a two-judge bench of the top court, led by Justice Vikram Nath and Justice PB Varale has issued notice to the Tripura government, seeking its response to the allegations. The case raised also the very important questions about administrative accountability and the protection of employment rights, especially in cases involving mass terminations affecting a significant number of individuals, their livelihood and family. The outcome of this legal battle will likely have far-reaching implications not only for the terminated teachers in Tripura but also for the broader discourse on government accountability and the rights of public sector employees across the country. As the case progresses, the petitioners were quite hopeful about a good and positive outcome of the Supreme Court verdict in their favour. The petitioners said that the SC will provide the desired relief to them (aggrieved teachers) seeking justice and reinstatement of their employment rights.

'State-sponsored terrorism' taking place in Tripura: Congress slams BJP
NEW DELHI: The Congress on Tuesday slammed the BJP over the violence in Tripura, claiming that state-sponsored terrorism was taking place there ahead of the panchayat polls and the state was appearing to be treading down a distressing path, echoing the turmoil witnessed in Manipur. Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge has deputed Lok Sabha MPs Tariq Anwar and Gaurav Gogoi as the AICC Observers to Tripura with regard to the recent violence and attacks on party workers and offices by the ruling party after the declaration of panchayat elections in the state. Addressing a press conference at the AICC headquarters here, Congress leader Ajoy Kumar dubbed the BJP cadres as congenital rioters and claimed his party workers are facing continuous, unjust and violent situations in Tripura. In Tripura, under the current BJP administration, life for the Congress workers unfolds in a daily struggle against targeted violence and intimidation simply for their political affiliation. The state has witnessed a disturbing breakdown of law and order, with the ruling party turning a blind eye to these atrocities, Kumar said. The Congress leader said state-sponsored terrorism was being carried out in Tripura. State sponsored terrorism BJP , , pic.twitter.com/k6ig6Taqjb Congress (@INCIndia) July 16, 2024 During the recent Lok Sabha elections, over 1,000 incidents of violence and electoral violations were reported, painting a grim picture of the deteriorating democratic norms in Tripura, he said. Shockingly, no substantial actions have been taken against the perpetrators, highlighting a stark disregard for justice and fairness under the current regime, Kumar said. The plight of Congress workers serves as a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by political dissenters in maintaining their democratic rights amidst an environment marred by unchecked aggression and impunity, he added. Kumar said the lead-up to the 2023 Tripura Assembly elections revealed the stark reality of violence that has gripped the state. Workers of the Congress and our alliance partners endured unimaginable atrocities. Both state and AICC leadership faced targeted violence and attacks, he claimed. Hundreds of our dedicated workers were brutally beaten and their properties vandalised at the hands of the ruling regime, the Congress leader alleged. These reprehensible acts underscore a distressing erosion of democratic values and principles, where dissent is met with aggression and suppression. The rampant use of force and intimidation tactics by the ruling establishment not only undermines the electoral process but also threatens the very foundation of a fair and free democracy in Tripura, he said. Kumar said the BJP's track record is marred by incidents of communal violence, a tactic for which they are unfortunately renowned. A glaring example is Manipur, where historically, the Meiteis and Kukis have coexisted as brethren for generations. However, over the past year, Manipur has been engulfed in flames of discord and unrest, Kumar said. Similarly, Tripura appears to be treading down a distressing path, echoing the turmoil witnessed in Manipur. The rising tensions and communal strife in these regions underscore a worrisome trend exacerbated under BJP rule, he added. The recent events surrounding the panchayat elections in Tripura have unveiled a distressing narrative of democratic erosion and violence, the Congress leader alleged. Allegations against the BJP affiliates describe a calculated campaign to stifle opposition voices, employing intimidation tactics ranging from physical assaults on the Congress candidates to the destruction of party offices and private residences, Kumar said. In light of these developments, it is imperative for authorities to uphold the rule of law impartially and ensure the safety and rights of all citizens, regardless of political affiliation, he added. Kumar said the upcoming panchayat elections should serve as a testament to the democratic values enshrined in our constitution, free from fear and coercion. As the panchayat poll dates draw near, the BJP's aggression against the Congress party workers intensified, the Congress leader alleged and listed the recent incidents of violence in the state. The efarious hands of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) struck again as they orchestrated an attack on Badal Shil (49), the CPI (M) candidate for South Tripura Zilla Parishad, in Rajnagar, South Tripura, July 12, Kumar said. Shil's grievous condition compelled his transfer to GBP Hospital in Agartala, where he tragically passed away due to the inflicted injuries, he added. Kumar said these incidents highlight a disturbing trend of political intimidation and violence orchestrated against opposition members as electoral preparations escalate in the region.

BJP RS tally dips below majority, but may recoup strength via vacancies
NEW DELHI: After falling short of a majority in the recent Lok Sabha polls, the BJPs strength has declined in the Rajya Sabha after four of its nominated members completed their six-year terms on July 14. Currently, the BJP stock has hit below 90 for the first time in several years. The party has started working to scale up its strength in the Upper House, trying to get support from other parties. Speaking to this newspaper on Monday, a senior party functionary said the BJP and its allies would soon work out a plan to fill 19 vacancies to consolidate its position. At present, the party, along with its NDA allies, is confident of winning two seats each from Bihar, Maharashtra and Assam and one seat each in Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Tripura due to their numerical superiority. We are also working on the four new nominated members, said a senior party leader. The BJP is now down to 86 members in Rajya Sabha and the NDA in total has a strength of 101, with the end of tenure of four nominated members, including Sonal Mansingh and Rakesh Sinha. The renomination of Sonal Mansingh can be considered as she represents a specific wing, said a BJP leader, adding that seven nominated members are still in the Rajya Sabha with neutral roles and the government may seek their support. There are also two independent members it can approach. The ruling Congress is looking to win the lone seat in Telangana at the expense of the BRS. But its gain will be cancelled in Rajasthan where the BJP, which has a strong majority, will pick the seat vacated by KC Venugopal. The BJP is also confident of winning the sole seat in Haryana, vacated after the election of RS MP Deepender Singh Hooda to Lok Sabha. In the forthcoming Budget session starting from July 22, the NDA government will face a tough time in getting bills passed. However, the Election Commission has not yet announced the date of elections to fill the 11 vacancies.
