Roopa Ganguly of BJP slams West Bengal Chief Minister remarks on the victim of the Hanskhali

Published

on

Roopa Ganguly, a West Bengal BJP politician, has criticized Mamata Banerjee for her statements on an alleged rape of a child in Nadia district’s Hanskhali, adding that such words are unfit for the office of Chief Minister.

During her speech at the launch of the rebuilt ‘Milan Mela’ on April 11, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee raised various concerns about “whether the girl was indeed raped or was it an affair that got her pregnant.” CM Banerjee also questioned why a police report had not been filed sooner. Four days after the event, the parents of the class 9 kid allegedly filed a complaint.

Ganguly slammed Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee, saying that if she knows everything about the matter, she should convene a news conference and address questions.

It’s worth noting that the accused is the son of a politician of the Trinamool Congress, the party that CM Banerjee leads. On April 5, the victim was allegedly gang-raped while at a birthday celebration hosted by the accused at his home.

She was bleeding excessively after going home from the party, according to the police complaint made by the underage girl’s parents, and she died later that night.

The NCPCR has taken notice, and a PIL has been filed at the Calcutta High Court.

In the meantime, the National Commission for the Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) has taken “serious notice” of the situation. Priyank Kanoongo, the NCPCR’s chairman, has requested the CM to follow the law of the nation rather than sharia law.

According to the NCPCR’s director, “There has been a serious consideration. THE WB CM IS OBLIGATED TO FOLLOW THE LAW OF THE LAND, NOT SHARIA LAW. She was a juvenile, and the allegations of gang rape were not made in a consenting manner. We’ve requested a report from the local government “.

Advocate Anindya Sundar Das filed a PIL at the Calcutta High Court, requesting a CBI investigation into the issue. The accused, Brajagopal Goala, has already been apprehended by police and a complaint has been filed under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act of 2012. According to a senior police official, the second arrest happened early on April 12th.

“This morning, we detained another individual. At the birthday party, he was present. It’s being looked into his involvement. We discovered inconsistencies in his accounts of what happened. Two additional partygoers were detained and questioned “According to sources, the officer stated.

Around Digha Railway Station, Negligence Causes Massive Water Wastage

Ignorance leads to huge water wastage near Digha Railway station.

The Wastage

In another case of carelessness, on Wednesday, March 27, a large water pipeline next to the Digha train station was damaged, wasting litres of water. In addition to upsetting locals, this event has drawn criticism for the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation’s (NMMC) poor response.

After this occurrence, the NMMC, which was given the task of supervising the construction of citizen amenities, has come under investigation. While there are development projects going on in a number of places, a serious mistake happened close to the Digha railway station on the Thane Belapur route.

A large-water pipe that supplied Digha with water was accidently damaged by a JCB when the M/s Light Strong Company was working on excavation. The large-water pipe burst, resulting in the loss of lakhs of litres of water.

Municipal authorities were notified promptly, yet they did not move decisively against the contractor in question. Locals voiced their displeasure, drawing attention to a persistent problem where contractors appear to start work without proper supervision or responsibility.

“Irrational contractors begin work at their convenience with the tacit approval of Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation officials,” said one resident. Millions of gallons of water were wasted when a water conduit ruptured close to the Digha railway station while the business was excavating. But neither the contractor nor the executives of the municipal corporation can bear all the blame.

“It is unacceptable to waste water. Additionally, such carelessness should not be tolerated now that summer has arrived. Another neighbor stated, “We hope NMMC takes action against such contractors.”

Prices Of Lemons Rise As Heatwave Hits City

As Summer & heatwaves strikes, the prices of lemon rise.

The Rise

Since the region has been immersed in intense heat and rising temperatures, lemons have become an extremely popular item in the city. Lemons are becoming an expensive luxury for many people as a result of their record-high costs, which are causing concern among the general public.

The retail market claims that the price of a single lemon has increased dramatically to Rs. 10 per piece, which is a substantial rise over prior months. Some people are so shocked by this increase that they are restricting how much lemon they eat.

Costs have increased overall as a result of the equivalent rise in lemon prices in wholesale marketplaces. The low salaries that define the present economic landscape put more burden on households that are already struggling financially.

The problem has been made worse by the increase in demand for lemons, which is ascribed to their cooling powers during the intense heat. Lemons are also essential for a number of culinary procedures, including the manufacture of lemon juice and the extraction of sugarcane juice.

According to a lemon merchant Varsha Sadanand Devkar. “Over the past 50 years, we have been selling lemons. But since the start of April, the cost has increased. We now sell three lemons for Rs. 25 and six for Rs. 50, while a single lemon costs Rs. 10 a piece.”
