mandsaur violence

The scheduled screening of the film 'The Kerala Story 2' in Kannur was cancelled on Saturday following a protest by activists of the Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI).

Police have prepared closure reports in 64 cases of the 2017 mandsaur violence, saying there is no evidence against the accused.This could lead to charges being dropped against 1,500 farmers.

Thousands of primary school teachers in the city of Bhubaneswar walked the streets on Tuesday to demand their eight-point charter of demands, including the cancellation of their deputation and abolition of the excadre provision, from March 1 of this year. They are also demanding their salary be disbursed through the treasury, the implementation of the old pension scheme, and the provision of adequate benefits and facilities like toilets and drinking water. The teachers were marching towards the assembly when the police blocked their way, leading to a minor clash.
