Despite eviction, workers vow to continue stir
CHENNAI: Despite being detained during a midnight police operation on Wednesday and released on Thursday, sanitary workers protesting the privatisation of solid waste management in Royapuram and Thiru-Vi-Ka Nagar zones, outside the Ripon Building for 13 days, have expressed their resolve to continue their agitation. Acknowledging the prevailing uncertainty, many workers TNIE spoke to said they were firm about not joining the private contractor for a lower salary, even though they would struggle financially without wages for the month. A worker who managed to avoid detention on Wednesday, said she joined the work in 2013 for a salary of Rs 6,000 a month. After gradual increments, she was earning nearly Rs 23,000 a month only for the past eight months. 'Without my husband, I raised two daughters through this work. Now, with no work since August 1, it has become difficult for us. I received July's salary, but we don't know how to pay next month's rent or manage other daily needs.' Despite the impending financial stress, she said she would not join the private contractor as there would be no job security and the salary was far less. 'We are only demanding what is fair and right. It is the government that has to keep its promise of regularising our jobs,' she stated.

State will take steps to control ‘goondaraj': CM
Bhubaneswar: OdishaChief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi on Friday said he has given 'absolute power' to the police to take action against those involved in crimes against women. Addressing the Independence Day function at Mahatma Gandhi Marg in Bhubaneswar, Majhi said his government will not hesitate to bring a special legislation to 'completely end' organised crimes. From the function, the Chief Minister also announced an additional 5 kg of rice will be provided to the poor people in 11 districts for three months. 'People who are involved in crimes against women have no place in society, they must be in jail. Therefore, I have given absolute power to the police to take necessary actions in such cases,' he said. Majhi said nobody, how influential he may be, will be spared if he is involved in crimes against women. The statement came as the State reported a slew of crimes against women, with the Opposition raising questions on the law and order situation. 'The law and order situation of the State is more or less under control. However, we have to strengthen and make it more effective,' he said. Noting that intoxication was one of the major factors behind the rise in crimes, Majhi said he has directed the police to against such activities. 'The government will take all measures to firmly control 'goondaraj'. The process of identification of criminals has already started,' he said. 'In order to completely end organised crimes, the State government will not hesitate to bring special legislation. Extortion and other such activities are completely illegal and those will be considered as organised crimes and dealt with firmly,' he said. Majhi said his government was committed to making colleges and universities safe for women by implementing initiatives like 'Shaktishree'. He maintained that women's empowerment is not just a slogan for his government. 'We have provided financial assistance to over 1 crore women through 'Subhadra Yojana'. Women have been able to become small entrepreneurs by utilising the assistance. The State has so far produced 17 lakh 'lakhpati didis',' he said. The Chief Minister said the State's commitment to women's empowerment is evident from the 2025-26 annual budget, in which allocations of Rs 89,861 crore have been made for schemes in regard to this. Listing the social welfare measures undertaken by his government, Majhi announced that 27 lakh poor families, who are beneficiaries of the 'Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana', in 11 districts will be given 5 kg additional rice per month for three months free of cost.

Bengaluru blast: 8-year-old boy killed, 9 injured in suspected LPG leak at Wilson Garden; 13 house damaged
BENGALURU: A suspected liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) leak triggered a powerful explosion in Chinayanapalya, Wilson Garden, here on Friday, killing an eight-year-old boy and injuring nine others. The blast damaged at least a dozen houses in the area, leaving nearly 60 residents homeless. The victim, A Mubarak, was the second child of Amanulla and Rabina, whose house stood adjacent to that of Aiyappan and Kasturamma (Kasturi), where the blast is believed to have originated. According to the victim's cousin, he died after the house collapsed in the impact of the explosion and the debris came crashing on him.

Though the real reason behind the explosion, which occurred around 8 am, is yet to be ascertained, authorities believe it might have occurred after someone had turned on a gas stove or some electrical appliance. The blast was so powerful that it almost flattened the houses of Kasturi and Mubarak, and damaged several others in the cheek-by-jowl residential block. Two fire tenders were rushed to the spot after a distress call was received at 8.45 am. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like It's Affordable and Actually Works Undo Kasturi and her eightyear-old daughter Kial are undergoing treatment for serious burn injuries at Victoria Hospital. The other injured residents are Sarasamma (55), Tabrina Bhanu (35), Fatima (8), Subramani (62), Sheik Nazibulla (37), Pramila (38), and Rajesh (40). Many of the occupants of the affected houses are daily wage earners, while some run small businesses. Chief minister Siddaramaiah, who visited the spot along with local MLA and transport minister Ramalinga Reddy, said preliminary reports from the police and BBMP pointed to a gas leak-triggered explosion. 'The bereaved family will receive Rs 5 lakh compensation. BBMP will bear the hospital expenses and reconstruct the damaged houses,' the CM said, adding that at least 13 houses were affected. BBMP chief commissioner Maheshwar Rao said the final tally of the number of houses damaged was yet to be determined. 'Close to 60 people may need temporary shelter. We will arrange accommodation at Jain Bhavan,' he said. City police commissioner Seemanth Kumar Singh said the exact cause would be confirmed only after a forensic examination. 'Prima facie, it appears to be a gas leak-related fireball explosion,' he added. The house next to Kasturi's belonged to Mubarak's parents. 'His father, Amanullah, had stepped out for prayers, while his mother, Sabrina, was out washing clothes. Mubarak, who was asleep, and his sister were inside. While the sister sustained injuries, Mubarak died as the debris crushed the lower part of his body,' recalled the victim's cousin Tasmiya. While Kasturi's family was new to the locality, Mubarak's family had been living there for years, she said. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).
