Violence In Manipur Again, Many Injured As Protesters Clash With Police

Violence spiked once again in parts of Manipur valley, including state capital Imphal, as protesters clashed with police in multiple areas. Batons and tear gas shells were used and many people were injured, reports said.

The situation has been escalating since the arrest of five men, who were caught in the uniform of security forces and carrying with sophisticated arms on September 16.

It led to widespread protests and demonstrations in the valley areas. Demanding the unconditional release of the detained men, a 48-hour lockdown was enforced in the Valley from Tuesday by the locals. Monday was the unofficial strike.

This afternoon, women demonstrators marched to police stations across five valley districts areas, demanding the unconditional release of the detainees. If not, they demanded that they also be arrested.

At several places, angry protestors confronted the police and other security agencies. The police finally used batons and tear gas to disperse the crowds. Many are reported to be injured in the incident.

There were clashes between the mob and the police outside the Sinjamei police station, where the police used tear gas shells. Three people are injured and admitted in hospital.

Considering, the developing volatile situation, the state administration has revoked curfew relaxation orders and re-imposed prohibitory orders banning large gatherings.

Manipur has been witnessing ethnic violence since early May, in which more than 150 people have died.

Skincare Tips: Steaming Your Face? Doctor Shares Everything You Need To Know

Face steaming is a skincare technique that involves exposing the face to steam in order to open up the pores, cleanse the skin, and promote relaxation. It is typically done by leaning over a bowl of hot water or using a specialised facial steamer.

Face steaming can be beneficial for the skin in several ways. It helps to soften the skin, making it easier to remove dirt, oil, and impurities. Steaming also increases blood circulation, which can give your complexion a healthy glow. Additionally, it can aid in the absorption of skincare products and provide a soothing and relaxing experience. Dr. Jushya Bhatia Sarin shares everything you need to know about face steaming.

A post shared by Dr. Jushya Bhatia Sarin (@dr.jushya_sarinskin)

Here are some dos and don'ts of face steaming:

Dos:

1. Do cleanse your face before steaming to remove any makeup or dirt.
2. Do use a towel to create a tent over your head while steaming to trap the steam and maximise its effects.
3. Do steam your face for about 5-10 minutes to avoid overexposure and potential skin damage.
4. Do follow up with a gentle exfoliation or face mask to further cleanse and nourish the skin.
5. Do moisturise your skin after steaming to lock in hydration and keep your skin supple.

Don'ts:

1. Don't steam your face for too long or too frequently, as it can lead to skin dryness or irritation.
2. Don't use boiling water for steaming, as it can cause burns. Opt for hot water at a safe temperature.
3. Don't apply too much pressure or scrub your skin aggressively during or after steaming, as it can damage the skin's protective barrier.
4. Don't forget to protect your skin from the sun after steaming, as it can become more sensitive to UV rays.
5. Don't steam your face if you have certain skin conditions like rosacea or sensitive skin, as it may exacerbate the symptoms.

Remember, face steaming should be done in moderation and tailored to your skin type and needs. If you have any concerns or specific skin conditions, it's always best to consult with a dermatologist before incorporating face steaming into your skincare routine.

What Delhi Court Said On Employing Men As Nurses In Armed Forces

When a woman officer can be posted in Siachen, a man can also be employed as a nurse in the Army, the Delhi High Court observed on Tuesday as it pitched for gender equality in the armed forces.

A bench of Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma and Justice Sanjeev Narula was hearing a petition about the alleged unconstitutional practice of having only women nurses in military establishments.

Additional Solicitor General Aishwarya Bhati, representing the Centre, said the practices in the Army are based on long-standing traditions. 
She, however, said the government has just now brought in legislation to grant 33 per cent reservation to women in the Lok Sabha and state assemblies.

"Yes, in parliament... On one hand, you are talking about empowering women and on the other, you are saying men cannot join as nurses... If a woman (officer) can be posted in Siachen, then a man can work in R&R (Hospital)," the bench said.

The bench also said the Supreme Court has permitted women to join the National Defence Academy and it has time and again held that there should be no gender bias.

Bhati told the bench the central government has filed its response in the matter.

Advocate Amit George, representing the petitioner Indian Professional Nurses Association, said now there are male nurses in all hospitals and even the Supreme Court has said the practice of excluding one gender from the services has no place even in a military ecosystem.

The High Court said it is an important issue which requires deliberation and listed the petition for further hearing in November.

The High Court had earlier sought the Centre's stand on the plea challenging the "illegal practice" of appointing only women as military nurses.

In its plea, the association has said there are several thousand trained and qualified male nurses in India and their omission from the nursing corps of the Army was "unjustifiable and unconstitutional inasmuch as it deprives them of an avenue of employment and professional advancement".

"The said omission also deprives the military and the nation of a large pool of committed professionals," the petition, filed through advocates George and Rishabh Dheer, said.

The PIL has challenged the provisions of the Military Nursing Service Ordinance, 1943 and the Military Nursing Service (India) Rules, 1944 to the extent that they provide only for the appointment of women as nurses.

It has contended the ordinance and the rules "also perpetuate the stigmatisation and ostracism of male nurses, by singling them out and making them feel unwanted".

It has said such discrimination is contrary to the constitutional scheme and is, therefore, "ex-facie unconstitutional, illegal and arbitrary".

In 2018, the high court termed as "gender discrimination" the Indian Army's practice of having only women in its nursing service while granting time to the Centre to decide on the issue.

"Jadavpur University Students Forced To Strip, Rub Face On Wall": Panel

First-year students of Jadavpur University who lived at the boys' hostel were allegedly made to rub their faces against the wall and stay atop almirahs indefinitely, found a committee formed by the institution to investigate incidents of ragging on campus.

The committee was formed after the death of an undergraduate student on August 10, allegedly due to ragging on campus.

"They were forced to strip down to their undergarments, and then do activities like standing atop an almirah, rubbing one's face against the wall, 'frog-jumps' and crawling under the cots," said the report, which was prepared after interviewing hundreds of students living in the hostels.

The freshers, who are referred to as 'bachha' (child), were forced to wash their seniors' clothes, write assignments for them and run errands, including getting liquor, cigarettes and food from nearby markets at late hours, it claimed.

The freshers were also forced to hurl expletives at female residents of the adjacent police quarters, and the punishment for refusal would include a beating, it added.

The first-year student had died after falling from the balcony of the boys' hostel. His family has alleged that he was a victim of ragging.

The report claimed that what happened that evening was not merely an isolated incident of ragging, but a regular practice.

"The spot of the accident was washed by a group of boarders with water, following the instruction of one of the seniors, after the victim was rushed to the hospital in a yellow taxi around midnight on August 9," it said.

"Information regarding the movements, just prior to his fatal fall, is rather uncertain and vague, as none of the witnesses gave a clear-cut description of the incident, which could help in ascertaining the cause and sequence of the mishap," it added.

The committee alleged that the victim was singled out for severe pre-planned ragging, which included possible sexual abuse.

Thirteen people, all former or current students, were arrested in connection with the case.

"Only Tokenism, Congress Never Serious About Women's Quota": Amit Shah

Union Home Minister Amit Shah slammed the Opposition, particularly the Congress, for showing only "tokenism" on the Narshakti Vandan Adhiniyam and said the party has never been serious about women's reservation in legislative bodies.

The Congress either let legislation lapse or their friendly parties prevented the women's reservation bill from being tabled, he said.

The Home Minister said that across the length and breadth of India, people are rejoicing the introduction of the Narishakti Vandan Adhiniyam in Parliament, which shows the unwavering commitment of the Modi government to empower women.

"Sadly, the Opposition is unable to digest this. And, what is more shameful is that except for tokenism, Congress has never been serious about women's reservations. Either they let legislation lapse or their friendly parties prevented the bill from being tabled. Their double standards will never be hidden, whatever stunts they try to take credit," he wrote on X.

The government on Tuesday introduced a constitutional amendment bill to reserve a third of seats in the Lok Sabha and the state assemblies for women, reviving a bill pending for 27 years for want of consensus among parties.

Making it the first bill to be introduced in the new Parliament building, the government said it will enable greater participation of women in policy-making at the state and national levels and help achieve the goal of making India a developed country by 2047.

Samajwadi Party, Fiercest Critic Of Women's Quota Bill, To Support It? What MP Said

Soon after the women's reservation bill was tabled in the Lok Sabha by the centre, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav, whose party has been a fierce critic of the bill in its present form since its inception 27 years ago, said the quota should be a balance of gender justice and social justice. Referencing PDA -- Pichde, Dalit, Alpasankhyak (Backward Classes, Dalits, Minorities), his formula to defeat the ruling BJP in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls -- he said reservation for them should be clear in definite percentage form.

महिला आरक्षण लैंगिक न्याय और सामाजिक न्याय का संतुलन होना चाहिए।
इसमें पिछड़े, दलित, अल्पसंख्यक, आदिवासी (PDA) की महिलाओं का आरक्षण निश्चित प्रतिशत रूप में स्पष्ट होना चाहिए।

— Akhilesh Yadav (@yadavakhilesh) September 19, 2023

Amid speculations about the reaction of INDIA bloc parties who have been opposed to the bill, Rajya Sabha MP Ram Gopal Yadav, Secretary-General of Akhilesh Yadav's party, told NDTV that they will offer support to the bill, but also put forth their position.

"We have never been against women's reservation, but our objection was about the present form of the bill. We were demanding since the beginning that there should be reservation for OBC women according to their population. Members of the majority party, the BJP, and their colleagues, and many others, don't favour OBC women. Our party will support the bill, but we will try for reservation for OBC women in future as well. I am sure that one day the number of those people who are of the opinion that OBC women should get reservation will be a majority in this house, and we will do it," he said.

Samajwadi Party leaders, along with others from Lalu Yadav's RJD and Sharad Yadav who once headed the JD(U), had tried to disrupt the passage of the bill on several occasions, by storming the well of the house, and even trying to snatch the copy of the bill while it was being introduced.

In 2008, when the bill was introduced in the Rajya Sabha, Samajwadi Party MP Abu Asim Azmi and his party colleagues had tried to snatch the bill copy from then law minister Hansaraj Bhardwaj.

Akhilesh Yadav's father and party patriarch late Mulayam Singh Yadav had at least twice courted controversy for his remarks on how the reservation would benefit only affluent women.

In 2012, when asked about his demand for a quota within the quota, he remarked "...bade ghar ki ladkiya aur mahilayen ko fayda milega... humari gaon ki gareeb mahilayon ko nahin... akarshak nahi hoti...bas itna kahunga... jyada nahi... (The women reservation bill in its present form would only benefit rich and urban women... our poor and rural women are not attractive... will not say beyond this)."

Two years earlier, when the bill was tabled in the Rajya Sabha for approval in March 2010, he said, "The Women's Reservation Bill, if passed in present format, would provoke young men to whistle in parliament."

"Wonderful Idea": Kangana Ranaut On Woman's Reservation Bill

Actor Kangana Ranaut, who was among the special women invitees at the Parliament, on Tuesday extended support to the Women's Reservation Bill, which was introduced today in the first sitting of Lok Sabha in the new Parliament building.

Talking to the media Kangana Ranaut said, "This is a wonderful idea, this is all because of our honourable PM Modi and this govt and his (PM Modi) thoughtfulness towards the upliftment of women."

Union Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal on Tuesday introduced the bill in the first sitting of Lok Sabha in the new Parliament building. The bill has been named Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam. Introducing the bill in the house the minister said "This bill is in relation to women empowerment.

By amending Article 239AA of the Constitution, 33 per cent of seats will be reserved for women in the National Capital Territory (NCT) of Delhi. Article 330A reservations of seats for SC/ST in the House of the People.

"Arjun Meghwal said that once the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam is passed, the number of seats for women in Lok Sabha will increase to 181.

Discussion for passing of the Bill in the House will be taken up on Wednesday, September 20. The Bill will be taken up in Rajya Sabha on September 21 government sources said.

The Women's Reservation Bill was cleared by the Union Cabinet on Monday.

Kangana also said, "The first session of the new Parliament has been dedicated to women empowerment and upliftment...PM Modi has kept women as the priority...This is fantastic..."

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday said that the government is bringing a new Bill to reserve one-third of all seats for women in the Lok Sabha and the state legislative assemblies and that God has given him the opportunity to take forward the task of women empowerment.

While talking exclusively to ANI, actor Esha Gupta also extended her support to the new reservation bill and said, "It's a beautiful thing that PM Modi has taken this step during the first session in the new Parliament. It's a very progressive thought...I had thought of joining politics since childhood...Let's see if this bill is passed, you will see me in 2026..."

Women's Reservation Bill was passed by Rajya Sabha in 2010 and it was not taken up in Lok Sabha and lapsed in the lower House of Parliament.

Union Minister Anurag Thakur distributed sweets to special women invitees, at the Parliament on Tuesday.

Talking exclusively to ANI, Haryanvi dancer and 'Bigg Boss 10' fame Sapna Choudhary said, "This is just the beginning, many bills are yet to be passed. I would like to thank PM Modi for understanding and supporting women so much."

The Women's Reservation Bill seeks to reserve 33 per cent of seats in the Lok Sabha and state legislative assemblies for women. Despite being a crucial step towards gender parity and inclusive governance, the Bill has remained in legislative limbo for far too long.

1. Clay and Terracotta Idols

One of the most significant shifts in recent years has been the move away from Plaster of Paris Ganesh idols to clay and terracotta ones. These eco-friendly idols are not only biodegradable but also celebrate India's rich artistic heritage. Artisans from various regions craft these idols, ensuring that each piece is a work of art. 

2. Natural Floral Decor

Embracing nature is another eco-friendly approach to decorating your home during Ganesh Chaturthi. Consider adorning the living room space with fresh flowers, leaves, and plant arrangements. Marigolds, lotus flowers, and banana leaves are commonly used in Indian floral decor for festive occasions.

3. Upcycled And Recycled Decor

Get creative by repurposing items from your home to create eco-friendly DIY Ganesh Chaturthi decorations. Old sarees and dress materials can be transformed into vibrant drapes, glass jars can become beautiful lanterns, and the discarded wood can be used for idol table decorations.

4. Eco-Friendly Rangoli

Rangoli is a traditional Indian art of creating colourful patterns on the ground. Rangolis can be given an eco-friendly twist. Instead of using synthetic colours, opt for natural alternatives like turmeric, rice flour, and flower petals to make beautiful designs in front of the idol.

5. Energy-Efficient Lighting

Illuminating your home during Ganesh Chaturthi is a tradition, and LED lights have become increasingly popular for their energy efficiency. Consider using solar-powered LED lights or low-energy LED bulbs for the decorations in order to reduce the carbon footprint and also electricity bills.

6. Water Conservation

A vital aspect of Ganesh Chaturthi is the immersion of Ganesh idols in water bodies. However, this ritual has been a cause of concern due to pollution. Opt for eco-friendly immersion by using artificial tanks, large pots, or tubs filled with water. After the festivities, you can even reuse the water for gardening and not let it go to waste.

Try these easy-to-follow eco-friendly ways to celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi this year and make it an even more joyous occasion.
