TMC men’s cut money rate list: Rs 200 for last rites, Rs 25,000 for house AG. GNS_Birbhum: Last December, Mamoni Sardar paid Rs 550 to a local TMC leader in Hooghly to get an LPG connection under the central government’s Ujjwala scheme. “I thought that was the cost of the connection. I came to know later that I need not have paid any money… I was so angry. Now, I want my money back,” says the 23-year-old. Today, Mamoni, the wife of a tailor, is among a group of women that has gathered at a mango orchard in Nuniadanga village to vent their anger at two local TMC leaders who, they claim, took Rs 500-600 from each of them to “arrange” their cooking gas connections. The two leaders, Subhas Biswas and Sikha
Majumdar, have “gone missing”. These women and their angry faces represent the backlash in rural Bengal, especially in the districts of Purba Bardhaman, Birbhum, Hooghly, Malda, Murshidabad, Coochbehar and Uttar Dinajpur, against the practice of “cut money”, or illegal commissions.

Modi must walk the talk on water conservation
In the first Mann Ki Baat programme after assuming office in his second term, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday spoke on one of the biggest challenges facing India today: an acute water crisis. There are three key points to take away from his speech. One, people must help the government in its water conservation efforts. Second, experts should share the knowledge of traditional methods of water conservation. And third, there is no onesize-fits-all method for conserving water. The PM added that he has written to all gram pradhans (village chiefs) on the importance of water conservation and how to take steps to create awareness on the subject across rural India. The PM’s speech was perfectly timed. India is facing a grave water crisis and the situation may deteriorate if the monsoon is inadequate. This is an appropriate time to impress upon our citizens the need to conserve water. According to the India Meteorological Department, the country had its driest June in five years because the monsoon rains were delayed. The impact of a bad monsoon will be disastrous. About 55% of India’s arable land is rain-fed, and agriculture makes up about 15% of Asia’s third-largest economy. Farmers had planted crops on 14.7 million hectares as on June 28, down almost 10% from the previous year, the farm ministry’s data showed. This crisis, however, is not new; it has been brewing for years: According to a 2018 NITI Aayog report, 600 million Indians already face high to extreme water stress and about 200,000 people die every year because of inadequate access to safe water. By 2030, the country’s water demand is projected to be twice the available supply, implying severe water scarcity for millions and an eventual 6% loss in the country’s gross domestic product (GDP). While the Centre has announced the creation of a new ministry (Jal Shakti ministry) to streamline water-related issues, it must act on two other projects without delay to tackle the crisis:One, restart and expand the watershed programme and second, use the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) to drought-proof the country. According to an analysis of government expenditure done by the news website, Scroll, the national watershed scheme, which aims to restore ecological - Kapilkumar M. Hirpara balance by harnessing,

As I stepped my foot in Bollywood, it opened doors of massive popularity for me. I started to become the prime candidate of public attention, I was projected as the gospel of the idea of success and was often identified as a role model for the youth. However, that’s never something that I set out to do or become, especially with regards to my ideas of success and failure, which I had just started to explore and understand. As I complete 5 years today, I want to confess that I am not truly happy with this identity, that is, my line of work. For a very long time now it has felt like I have struggled to become someone else,” she wrote I kept procrastinating by tricking and deluding my conscience into the idea that I know what I am doing doesn’t feel right but assumed that I will put an end to this whenever the time feels right and I continued to put myself in a vulnerable position where it was always so easy to succumb to the environment that damaged my peace, imaan and my relationship with Allah,” she added
