Former Union Minister, RWAs protest for solution to city's ‘stray dog menace'
Former Union Minister of Parliamentary Affairs Vijay Goel and several delegations of Resident Welfare Associations (RWAs) in Delhi held a protest at Jantar Mantar on Saturday calling for government action to control the growing 'street dog menace' in the Capital. Mr. Goel expressed concerns over the alarming rise in stray dog attacks, saying, 'The primary victims are children, women, and the elderly. Parks have become unsafe, children have stopped playing outdoors, and people fear even stepping out for a walk.' He said there are 7 lakh dogs in the city. 'Sterilisation alone is no longer sufficient; mass relocation and proper infrastructure are necessary,' he said, adding that aggressive dogs should be relocated to designated shelters, where they can be given special care. 'It is not the responsibility of RWAs to manage stray dogs. This is the government's duty. We need to enforce a clear and effective 'No Dogs on Streets' policy now', the Mr. Goel said. A poster at the protest site demanded 'stern action against those feeding dogs on the street'. Earlier in the week, the Supreme Court, while hearing a Noida-based petitioner's plea alleging harassment in feeding stray dogs, remarked, 'Why don't you feed them in your own house?'

Why SP is stepping up to mark Kanwar Yatra: ‘PDA' banners to Mulayam, Akhilesh photos
The Samajwadi Party (SP) has been going all out to take on the ruling BJP in Uttar Pradesh in the run-up to the 2027 Assembly polls. While a trust headed by SP president Akhilesh Yadav is engaged in the construction of the Kedareshwar Mahadev Temple in Etawah district — with several similarities to the Ram Temple in Ayodhya — party workers are now also taking part in Kanwar Yatra. The SP has sought to give its own touch to the Kanwar Yatra, which is one of the main religious events in North India every year, involving many devotees from UP. The SP workers have got pictures of Akhilesh and party founder late Mulayam Singh Yadav as well as slogans pasted on kanwars — the containers with holy water from the Ganges that the devotees carry back home after undertaking the yatra. On July 16, a group of 15 SP workers started the Kanwar Yatra from Haridwar in Uttarakhand. They will be travelling to a Shiva temple in Noida in a vehicle with a music system and large banners stating: 'Samajwadi PDA dwara vishal Kanwar Yatra (SP PDA's majestic Kanwar Yatra)'. On Friday, Akhilesh posted a video of the SP workers' Kanwar journey, with a message that the party has been praying for for public welfare. This messaging is in line with his PDA (Pichhda, Dalit, Alpasankhyak) outreach, aimed at reaching out to the backward classes, Scheduled Castes (SCs) and minorities. Noida-based SP leader Praveen Yadav, who is supervising this Kanwar Yatra, said the BJP's followers often take part in such a Yatra with photographs of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. He, however, claimed that 'There is no politics behind our Kanwar Yatra. It is a matter of faith only.' The SP's strategy is aimed at countering allegations of 'minority appeasement' levelled against it by the BJP. The ruling party has repeatedly accused the SP of allegedly 'ignoring the interests of Hindu devotees for the appeasement of Muslims'. SP spokesperson Rajendra Chaudhary said: 'This is a reply to BJP which claims that only it has association with such religious programmes. Yatra is a matter of faith and everyone can participate in it. BJP uses Kanwar Yatra only for political purposes.' Chaudhary said that SP workers were starting their Kanwar Yatra from Haridwar under the supervision of party national secretary S N Sachan. 'They are SP workers and doing it in favour of the party and PDA in their own capacity. Party's Muslim workers are welcoming them and offering them refreshments,' he added. Earlier this week, the SP's Kairana MP Iqra Hasan attended a Kanwar Yatra camp in Saharanpur in west UP, wore a saffron scarf and served meals to devotees. On July 7, at a press conference in Lucknow, Akhilesh said he would construct a dedicated corridor for the movement of devotees undertaking the Kanwar Yatra in the event of the SP coming to power. He also alleged that the BJP dispensation has not made adequate arrangements for the Kanwariyas. 'They (BJP government) are constructing a Gorakhpur link (road) by spending Rs 7,000 crore. But they cannot develop a corridor with Rs 1,000 crore for Kanwariyas,' Akhilesh said. A day later, UP Deputy CM and senior BJP leader Keshav Prasad Maurya accused the previous SP-led administrations of firing on 'Ram bhakts' and lathicharging 'Shiv bhakts'. The Etawah temple is nearing completion in the next six months, ahead of the 2027 state Assembly polls. The temple is spread across about 11 acres of land in the heart of the Yadav belt and is already attracting about 1,000 devotees each month. The temple's foundation was laid by Akhilesh in 2021, seven months after Prime Minister Narendra Modi did the same for the Ram Temple in Ayodhya. Its consecration ceremony was led by SP MP Dimple Yadav, Akhilesh's wife, around the same time when PM Modi inaugurated the Ram Temple in January 2024.

‘Main bik gaya': Brutally honest resignation email goes viral, leaves LinkedIn in splits
A no-frills resignation email has taken LinkedIn by storm, thanks to its raw honesty and unexpected humour. Shared by Shubham Gune, the founder and CEO of Mumbai-based brand Hinglish, the post is titled 'Honest Resignation,' and it lives up to its name. The viral screenshot features an email from one Dayitva Shah, who wrote with striking simplicity: 'Hi sir, Main bik gaya. Saamne waali company chaar paise zyaada de rahi hai.' (I've sold myself. Another ompany is giving a marginal raise). He signed off with just, 'Regards'. The Internet couldn't get enough. Many people responded this is exactly what they wish they could write in their own resignation emails. One person commented, 'Honesty is the best policy I heard,' while another said, 'Kon duniya, kon chaar log.. all that matters is chaar paisa.' (All that matters is money). One user wrote, 'I believe the issue is more than just 4 paise—it's the toxic environment.' Another chimed in, 'Isn't it just so relatable? We all want to say this, but instead we smile and hand over a carefully worded goodbye.' This wasn't the only instance of unfiltered honesty at work to go viral recently. Noida-based HR professional Khushie Chaurasiya shared a post about a new hire who quit on day one. A straightforward text from the employee said: 'Mujhe yeh kaam pasand nahi aaya.' (I didn't like this work.) Chaurasiya mentioned that the role, while demanding, had been explained in detail before the offer. Still, she was left puzzled by the sudden change. 'What changed overnight?' she wondered in her post.
