At MCM, payments for waste cos only after councillor nod
Gurgaon: MCM commissioner Ayush Sinha has issued strict directives to waste collection and street cleaning agencies, threatening penalties for non-compliance with contractual obligations. Agencies must now regularly update their operational data on the solid waste management portal (SWM) with payments linked to satisfaction certificates from ward councillors. Agency representatives were also directed to equip all garbage collection vehicles with GPS and improve sanitation in the municipal area. "Garbage vulnerable points must also be cleaned daily. In residential areas, garbage should be collected twice a day, and the number of rounds should be increased if necessary. In villages with market areas, garbage collection vehicles should go after 9 am," said the commissioner, adding that the responsibility for monitoring the work of agencies has been assigned to the officers and employees of the sanitation branch Orders have also been given to the revenue branch to identify land for a new dumping site.

Seniors' helpline mitigates anxiety and isolation, lends ear to remarriage hope
Panaji: The National Senior Citizen Helpline set up recently in Goa has been receiving a varied mix of calls from lonely, scared, financially challenged, and technology-unsavvy seniors. Many seniors living alone seek reassurance and someone to talk to when they call the helpline, which provides them with information, legal advice, and practical solutions to problems. But more importantly, the helpline has the capacity to listen with empathy and offer emotional support. 'We find many senior citizens living alone after their spouse's death, with their children abroad. Some were in late marriages and have no children,' the project manager of the National Senior Citizen Helpline, Goa, Jyoti Kambli told TOI . She added, 'They call seeking advice but also turn to us when they have anxiety attacks and have no one else to turn to.' There's also the occasional surprise call that fills the heart with hope. A 72-year-old man who lost his wife, looking to remarry, asked the helpline to share his number. 'He said his children gave him permission to remarry and that he is looking for a 65-year-old woman who is healthy,' Kambli said. She added, 'He said he wants to marry legally and, in the event of his death, will leave her a share of his property as he wants her to live well.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Pinga-Pinga e HBP? Tome isso 1x ao dia se tem mais de 40 anos Portal Saúde do Homem Clique aqui Undo As for worrying cases, a senior citizen living all by himself called the helpline recently, saying his neighbours were abusing him and creating problems. 'Since he is financially well off, we advised him to set up CCTV cameras for his safety. We told him this would help him gather proof and help him in the future too,' Kambli said. In another ongoing case, the helpline is extending help to a senior citizen who became bedridden and requested that his sister be authorised to collect his pension on his behalf. Some seniors experiencing anxiety are regular callers. If a red alert is announced, they call fearing a flood-like situation in their areas and ask whether it is safe to go to the market. After the Ahmedabad plane crash, a senior staying near Mopa called asking whether he would be safe where he lived. Kambli, with the assistance of the helpline's system engineer Rajendra Gaonkar, tactfully and compassionately handles the varied requests and questions from the seniors. In another case, a 75-year-old man called the helpline saying that a cooperative bank insisted that he buy shares worth Rs 10,000 to open a Rs 3 lakh fixed deposit. 'I told him that as stipulated by RBI guidelines, the bank cannot force him to buy shares and told him to ask the bank to give it to him in writing,' Kambli said. She added, 'After two days, he called up saying that the bank backtracked once he asked for the demand in writing and allowed him to open his fixed deposit without any hassles.'

Traditional fishing festival draws thousands at Periya Kanmai
1 2 3 4 Madurai: The annual fishing festival at Cholappereri Kanmai, popularly known as Periya Kanmai, was celebrated in grand traditional style on Saturday near Thiruvadhavur in Melur taluk. More than a thousand people from nearby villages and neighbouring districts, including Sivagangai and Dindigul, gathered for the event. The day began with rituals led by village elders, accompanied by the beat of traditional drums and fireworks. Following the ceremonial tossing of white feathers into the tank—a symbolic gesture allowing fishing to begin—participants of all ages waded into the water using traditional tools such as kacha, uttha, and baskets. Local fish varieties such as kendai (carp) and catla, some weighing up to 10 kg, were caught. In keeping with tradition, the catch was not sold but shared, cooked, and eaten on-site, underscoring the spirit of unity and community. "This festival is not just about fishing. It's about unity, faith in the rains, and agricultural prosperity," said a village elder. Locals believe that the festival invokes good rainfall and ensures a bountiful harvest. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Investire è più facile che mai BG SAXO Scopri di più Undo However, concerns were raised over ecological changes. Jayaraj, a participant from Dindigul, warned about the growing presence of tank cleaner fish—an invasive species previously confined to the Vaigai.
