'Never Had A Son, But I Lost One': BJP Leader Dilip Ghosh Mourns Stepson's Sudden Death
Last Updated:
Srinjoy was the son of Ghosh's wife, Rinku Majumdar, from her first marriage. Ghosh and Majumdar were married just last month
West Bengal BJP leader Dilip Ghosh has spoken for the first time about the death of his 26-year-old stepson, who was found dead in his Kolkata flat on Tuesday morning.
Ghosh, former BJP National Vice-President and ex-president of the party's West Bengal unit, expressed sorrow over the death of his 26-year-old stepson, Srinjoy Dasgupta.
Srinjoy was the son of Ghosh's wife, Rinku Majumdar, from her first marriage. Ghosh and Majumdar were married just last month.
Describing Srinjoy as a 'lively boy," Ghosh said they had developed a close bond in a short span of time, NDTV reported.
'It's my bad luck. I am so unfortunate. I never experienced the joy of having a son, but I am mourning the loss of one," the BJP leader added.
Srinjoy's body was found lying on his back at his residential flat in New Town, Kolkata. The initial post-mortem, conducted at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, suggested that he may have died of acute haemorrhagic pancreatitis.
Acute haemorrhagic pancreatitis is a severe condition where the pancreas becomes inflamed and starts to bleed, often due to the early activation of digestive enzymes. This leads to damage in surrounding tissues and blood vessels.
However, a final conclusion will only be drawn after the detailed post-mortem report is completed.
Srinjoy worked at an IT-enabled services (ITeS) firm and was posted at Sector 5 in Salt Lake, not far from his home.
Speaking to the media, his mother Rinku said, 'He had two colleagues with him last night. He hadn't been feeling well for the past 3 to 4 days. Although he never said it directly, I could understand he wanted to stay with us. I told him he could stay, even though we have a room shortage—I was planning to make arrangements for him."

'His colleagues told me that he used to say, 'You can go home and see your parents, but I can't.' He came over on Mother's Day. We last spoke around midnight," she added.

Pilot Refuses To Fly, Leaves Eknath Shinde Stuck At Jalgaon Airport For 45 Minutes
Last Updated: The Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister's departure from Jalgaon was delayed after the pilot cited exhaustion and duty hour restrictions Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde's return to Mumbai from Jalgaon was delayed twice on Friday — first, due to technical issues before arrival, and later after the pilot of his aircraft refused to take off, citing duty hour limitations and ill health. According to NDTV, Shinde was scheduled to arrive at Jalgaon at 3.45 pm but reached nearly two-and-a-half hours late due to technical reasons. After landing, he travelled to Muktainagar by road, where he participated in the Palkhi Yatra (religious procession) of Sant Muktai, accompanied by ministers Girish Mahajan, Gulabrao Patil, and several administration officials. After completing the visit and returning to Jalgaon airport at around 9.15 pm, a second delay occurred. The pilot of Shinde's personal aircraft refused to fly, stating that his duty hours had ended and that fresh clearance would be needed to operate the flight. The pilot also cited ill health as an additional reason for refusing to take off, according to NDTV. As per News18 Marathi, the pilot had already been flying for 12 consecutive hours and was not in a position to continue, both due to his condition and technical regulations. In an attempt to resolve the situation, Mahajan, Patil, and other officials held discussions with the pilot for about 45 minutes. Mahajan also contacted airline officials for the required permissions. According to Lokmat Times, a doctor was also called to examine the pilot's condition. After the medical assessment and necessary approvals, the pilot eventually agreed to operate the flight and the aircraft departed for Mumbai. Speaking to reporters, Girish Mahajan said, 'The pilot had a health-related concern and an issue with the timing. There were some technical difficulties too. We spoke to the airline company, and they explained the situation to the pilot in their own way. It was a minor issue." During the return flight, the Deputy Chief Minister's team assisted a woman who urgently needed to travel to Mumbai for a kidney surgery. According to NDTV, the woman, Sheetal Patil, and her husband had missed their scheduled flight. Upon learning about their situation, Mahajan arranged for the couple to board Shinde's aircraft. Ambulance services were kept ready at Mumbai airport to immediately transfer the woman for surgery. Gulabrao Patil said, 'Eknath Shinde has not forgotten his days of struggle even today. He has shown sensitivity towards the common man."

The link between leprosy and climate-change that we did not know about: an Indian story
When Sharadindu Ghosh* was young, he was taught not to speak about his father's leprosy. He, like many others, grew up in the lanes of Jamuria Leprosy Colony, in West Bengal, facing stigma and discrimination. Today, years after his father's passing and an endless struggle through poverty, Ghosh is an electrical supervisor and a mentor to local children. 'Among the uneducated population in India, people believe that this disease is given by God,' said Mervyn Basil, communications specialist at NGO Until No Leprosy Remains-India ( NLR-India). Leprosy was eliminated as a public health problem in India as per the World Health Organization's criteria of less than 1 case per 10,000 population, at the national level, in 2005. However now, experts say, it is quietly resurfacing, particularly in climate stressed States including West Bengal and Bihar. Floods, displacement and overcrowding have become frequent, leading to these States seeing the disease re-emerge in pockets. Also Read: Health Ministry announces new treatment regimen for leprosy The climate change-leprosy link India reported total 1,03,819 new leprosy cases for the year 2022-23 out of which grade 2 disability (G2D) cases were 2,363 (2.28%), amounting to 25% of the new G2D cases of the world, as per a statement given in the Lok Sabha in February 2024. Extreme weather events do not affect all communities equally, and people affected by leprosy often face risks far beyond those encountered by the general population. Research presented by James Pender at the 21st International Leprosy Congress in 2022 highlighted how climate -induced disasters disproportionately affect leprosy-affected communities. Floods cause the loss of homes, crops and in some cases even access to shelters. Those with leprosy-related disabilities are often left behind in evacuation efforts and many face discrimination at relief camps. In Bangladesh, for instance, over 4,000 people affected by leprosy were impacted by severe flooding in 2017 and many were denied basic disaster relief. India is ranked amongst the most climate-vulnerable nations globally and the intersection of disease, climate change and economic deprivation can further deepen the gaps. According to a report by the Leprosy Mission Trust India, States including Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, Odisha and Chhattisgarh are also home to the largest proportion of people living in multidimensional poverty, meaning poverty that goes beyond money and wealth. 'Leprosy is a tropical disease and in tropical areas, there is a higher chance of this bacteria multiplying at a very rapid pace, and it's quite possible that it will multiply quickly,' said Mr. Basil. Eight districts across Bihar, West Bengal, Odisha and Maharashtra report a high climate vulnerability, widespread multidimensional poverty and endemic levels of leprosy prevalence. According to Bihar's State Water Resources department, 68.80 lakh hectares or over 76% of north and 73% of south Bihar are r egularly affected by floods. A total of 28 of the State's 38 districts are declared flood-prone. In Odisha, the situation may be worse: it remains one of India's most climate disrupted states. According to the Council on Energy, Environment and Water, 26 districts in Odisha are exposed to extreme climate events. The State has witnessed an increase in cyclonic events of late, with Koraput routinely facing floods that disrupt agricultural productivity and impact village residents who are primarily agricultural workers. With high risks of flood and drought, the State has a leprosy prevalence rate of 0.89. Chhattisgarh is also emerging as a key hotspot, with multiple districts like Bijapur, Kabirdham and Mahasamund having high prevalence rates of leprosy and deep rooted poverty. Kishanganj in Bhihar, Raigarh in Chhattisgarh and Nuapada in Odisha have reported leprosy prevalence rates above 3% coexisting with poverty levels that exceed 60% in some cases. Even in relatively better-off states like Maharashtra and West Bengal, vulnerability in clusters exists especially in tribal areas like Nandurbar and Jhargram. Triple jeopardy Shubhojit Goswami, senior programme manager at Leprosy Mission Trust India said: 'Our report does not claim or suggest that changes in climate patterns lead to leprosy transmission. But extreme climate events like floods, cyclones and droughts increase risk factors like malnutrition, limit access to clean water and poor hygiene which are known to contribute to leprosy spread' Displacement emerges as another key concern. When residents of rural areas face climate shocks like floods or droughts, they tend to migrate to urban areas. 'Many can only afford to live in overcrowded slums and high population density increases the transmission risk,' said Mr. Goswami. He cites the example of Shravasti district in Uttar Pradesh, where heavy floods in October 2022 came just months after a drought had already devastated agriculture. 'This kind of back-to-back climate shock is becoming the new normal,' he pointed out. Shravasti is a high-endemic district for leprosy where more than 70% of the population lives in multidimensional poverty. The need for interventions Urgent interventions by government and NGOs are needed. Three steps that Mr. Goswami states as urgent are: building community resilience alongise awareness programmes on climate-adaptive health behaviour; strengthening health systems in leprosy endemic districts to mitigate climate shocks as well as hyper-local climate and health risk assessments. A total of 30 districts across India are at the risk of 'triple jeopardy' i.e. the disease, climate change and poverty coexisting. 'These triple burdens often affect specific districts and not entire States,' said Mr. Goswami. Muzaffarpur in Bihar for instance, suffers from co-endemic diseases like leprosy and filariasis, and it floods every year. These districts should receive prioritised resources and support, he said. Districts such as Nandurbar in Maharashtra and Jhargram West Bengal have tribal populations living in relatively wealthier states and endemic leprosy still exists. 'People need to understand how both leprosy and climate interact, but this can only happen when investments in local health systems are capable of reading and reacting to climate data,' said Mr. Basil. 'Initiatives related to climate change have not been undertaken as yet as there is a lack of funding. As of now, no climate change organisation is actively working on leprosy-related impacts. Thematic donor support is a major problem as climate change itself is a new subject,' Mr. Basil adds. Reaching the last mile 'People affected by leprosy are often the last to receive medical care during disasters like floods and it is not always that they don't want to go to the hospital, it is the social stigma that affects their decisions. There exists a fear that they will be turned away or harassed by others at relief centers or hospitals,' said Mr. Basil. Climate change is causing cracks in our public health systems. The time to act is now, as leprosy is not going to disappear: it demands urgent interventions, visibility, and funding. *Name changed on request, to protect privacy (Aditya Ansh is an independent media reporter based in New Delhi.

₹5 Parle-G sold for ₹2,300 in Gaza? Father's war reality claim shocks internet
A video of a kid receiving Parle-G, her favourite biscuits, from her father in Gaza has shocked social media. In the video, the man claims that the item is sold for ₹2,300 - a huge difference from its humble pricing in India - amid the ongoing Israel-Gaza war. 'After a long wait, I finally got Ravif her favorite biscuits today. Even though the price jumped from €1.5 to over €24, I just couldn't deny Rafif her favorite treat,' X user Mohammed Jawad wrote. In addition to the video, which shows Ravif receiving her biscuits, Jawad also posted a picture of her relishing the treat. Though cannot independently verify the claims in the X post, the share has taken social media by storm. While many showed sympathy, some tagged Minister of External Affairs of India S Jaishankar, urging him to send biscuits to the kid. An individual wrote, 'S Jaishankar, That baby is eating India's favourite biscuit. Look, I know we are neutral about the war. But can we please send more Parle G to Palestine? These are glucose biscuits that will help relieve the civilian population.' Another urged, "India should send some more food and medicines to Palestine.' A third posted, 'It's very saddening to see this.' A fourth remarked, 'These are my favourite biscuits, too, from my childhood.' A few on social media simply expressed their shock and surprise. has reached out to the company. This report will be updated when a response is received. According to a report by NDTV, the humanitarian aid that enters Gaza is often sold at a steep price in the black market. Dr Khaled Alshawwa, a 31-year-old surgeon based in Gaza City, told NDTV, 'The problem isn't with the original suppliers or taxation,' adding, 'These goods usually enter Gaza as humanitarian aid, free of charge. But only a minority receives them. Scarcity turns them into high-priced black market goods.' 'The closure of borders for more than three months now has allowed only a scarce amount of very basic needs that don't meet the needs of 2 million people. So when some people are able to get some, or when looting happens, these foods are being sold at very high, unaffordable prices,' the doctor continued.
