Chhattisgarh HC Orders Rs 25,000 Compensation For Students Who Ate Dog-Soiled Mid-Day Meals

While the students had alerted the teachers, who then instructed the SHG members not to serve the food, the warning was ignored and the food was served anyway. The Chhattisgarh High Court has ordered the government to give Rs 25,000 to the students who were served mid-day meals soiled by a dog. The incident dates back to July 28, when as many as 84 students at a government middle school in Lachchhanpur village in Balodabazar-Bhatapara consumed food soiled by a dog. A division bench of Chief Justice Ramesh Sinha and Justice Bibhu Datta Guru, while delivering the order on Tuesday, noted the ignorance on the part of the government and did not consider the state's argument that the affected students were administered three doses of anti-rabies vaccine and were also found healthy after the check-up. The High Court took suo motu cognisance of the incident, and also sought an affidavit from the state government. According to an inquiry report submitted by the government in the court, a dog soiled the food served as a part of the mid-day meal scheme. The food for the government is prepared by a self-help group (SHG). view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Drug trafficker booked under MCOCA for the first time in Maharashtra

MUMBAI: A man from Malad was booked under the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) on Tuesday after allegedly being caught with 766 grams of Mephedrone earlier this month. This is the first such case in Maharashtra where the Anti-Narcotics Cell (ANC) has applied the newly amended Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) in a narcotics case. Drug trafficker booked under MCOCA for the first time in Maharashtra In July, the Maharashtra government, during its monsoon session, amended MCOCA to bring drug peddlers under its purview as part of its zero-tolerance policy towards drug trafficking. According to the police, the incident occurred on August 7, when the accused Adnan Shaikh, hailing from Uttar Pradesh, was caught with 766 grams of Mephedrone in Bandra. Subsequently, he was booked under relevant sections of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act (NDPS) and arrested. On Tuesday, the ANC applied charges under MCOCA against him. 'A proposal was sent to senior Mumbai Police officials for the application of the amended MCOCA against the accused, which was approved on Tuesday. Following this, we have applied section 3 (punishment for organized crime) of The Maharashtra Control Of Organised Crime Act against him,' the officer said. During interrogation, Shaikh said that he was working for his aunt, Kayanat Shaikh, a drug peddler, who in turn bought drugs from a person named Jamir Ahmed Ansari alias Jamir Boka, the officer said. Boka and Kayanat are still wanted in the case, he added.
