Kids of panchayat karmadhyaksha die in road mishap

Ria Lohar, the karmadhyaksha of the Trinamul Congress-governed Simlapal panchayat samiti had accompanied her daughter Pothi (3) and son Rishi (5) while attending a poll campaign at Bankura town to woo support in favour of her party candidate Arup Chakraborty.

Famine in Yemen

Among 2.2 million children, 538,000 are severely malnourished. An estimated 1.3 million women could be “acutely malnourished” by the end of the year. In a prognosis that is as graphic as it is heart-rending, Catherine Russell, executive director of Unicef, has warned that “more and more children are going to bed hungry in Yemen. This puts them at increased risk of physical and cognitive impairment, and even death.”

Child protesters

The children were terrified as they were held for several hours before being released. Few will buy the Russian education ministry’s argument that it was organizing lessons to teach children about “the danger Nato poses in our country and help them to distinguish truth from lies”

PM CARES for Children Scheme extended up to February 28

The ministry said that a letter in this regard has been sent to all Principal Secretaries, Secretaries, Women and Child Development, Social Justice & Empowerment Department of all states and UTs with a copy to all District Magistrates for necessary action.
