Today is the 23rd of August and here are this week’s headlines.
The apex court heard matters related to the alleged rape and murder of a woman doctor at R G Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata. The Supreme Court has intervened, ordering the West Bengal government not to penalise those peacefully demanding justice for the junior doctor. SC also urged striking doctors to return to work, assuring them of protection from reprisals.
On Wednesday afternoon, during the lunch break at pharmaceutical company Escientia in Atchutapuram Special Economic Zone a reactor exploded on the second floor killing 17 people. Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu met the families and declared the state government would take care of the families of the deceased, and has announced an ex-gratia of Rs 1 crore for each. The seriously injured will be given Rs 50 lakh, and those with minor injuries will be given Rs 25 lakh.
In Bihar, amid a nationwide strike called by Dalit and Adivasi groups against the Supreme Court’s decision to permit the sub-classification of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, police lathi-charged protesters in Patna on Wednesday. As many as twenty-one organisations called for Bharat Bandh against the SC order. Left parties, Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM), Congress, Rashtriya Janata Dal, Bahujan Samajwadi Party have extended support to the nationwide bandh.
At least 10 people were killed and one was missing in landslides and flood-related incidents in Tripura since Sunday. An official statement said that at least 32,750 people have taken shelter in 330 relief camps due to heavy rainfall. Following a request from Chief Minister Manik Saha to Union Home Minister Amit Shah, four additional NDRF teams arrived in the state to assist in the rescue operations. The northeastern state witnessed as many as 1,900 landslides causing disruption in road connectivity.
Meanwhile, expressing shock over the Badlapur school sexual abuse case involving two four-year-old girls, the Bombay High Court on Thursday slammed the local police for dereliction of duty. It also questioned the school authorities for not reporting the incident on time, and asked what is the use of speaking about the right of education when schools are not safe. Meanwhile, the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi have called for a “Maharashtra bandh” on Saturday to protest against the alleged sexual assault.
In a statement issued during his two-day visit to Poland and Ukraine, Prime Minister Narendra Modi voiced “deep concern” over the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and West Asia. This is the first visit to Poland by an Indian Prime Minister after 45 years, and the first to Ukraine since it gained independence in 1991. He added that no conflict can be resolved on the battlefield, while also assuring all possible cooperation from India for restoration of peace and stability, as the Russia-Ukraine war crosses the 900-day mark.
