Mumbai BMC Elections: Can BJP Break Uddhav’s Fortress in Bandra East? Thackeray Dominance Continues Since 2017

As campaigning for the first phase of Maharashtra’s local body elections enters its final stage, the political temperature in Mumbai has sharply risen. All eyes are now on the Bandra East Assembly segment, where Uddhav Thackeray’s faction has remained dominant since the 2017 BMC elections. The key question: Can the BJP penetrate this stronghold? Bandra East: A High-Stakes Battleground Bandra East, a Muslim-majority constituency, is strategically critical for all major parties. The segment comprises six BMC wards. In the 2017 civic polls, Uddhav Thackeray’s faction (then undivided Shiv Sena) won five out of six wards, while one ward went to the AIMIM.

UP Roadways Charges ₹126 Ticket for a Parrot; Couple Left Shocked

Kanpur In a bizarre incident on a UP Roadways bus, a conductor charged a separate ₹126 ticket for a couple’s pet parrot, treating it as “luggage.” The couple, travelling from Myor to Kanpur, were stunned when the conductor insisted that any bird or animal in a cage falls under the luggage category, making a ticket mandatory. Passengers onboard were equally surprised. The Parrot That Cost Extra Rinki Devi from Rāmādevī, Kanpur, had recently visited her parental home in Myor. There she bought a parrot for just ₹50 after it caught her fancy. On Wednesday morning, she and her husband Rahul boarded a Kanpur-bound bus from the Kidwai Nagar depot. The conductor, Anwar Saeed, first issued tickets worth ₹556 for the couple. Moments later, he demanded an additional ₹126 as the parrot’s f...

Historic Change in Jaunsar Bawar: Dalit Community Elects Its Own Syna for the First Time

Dehradun, Uttarakhand: In a landmark development in Jaunsar Bawar, the centuries-old tradition of selecting a single village head, or Syna, has been broken. For the first time, the Dalit community of Bijnu Bijnad village has elected its own separate Syna, who was ceremoniously paraded on a wooden elephant during the post-Badi Diwali celebrations. Breaking Centuries-Old Tradition Traditionally, villages in Jaunsar Bawar had only one Syna, typically chosen from affluent families. This system, established during the British era, also played a role in assisting revenue collection. However, this year, 35 Dalit families took a historic step by electing their own Syna, Sunil Kumar, marking a significant move towards social equality. The selection ceremony included placing the newly elect...

The bench also ordered the government to submit detailed records on how many trees were cut, how many were transplanted, and how many new trees are being planted in compensation.
