LUCKNOW, Mar 29 (Agencies): Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Aditya Nath Yogi on Tuesday took a quick action when a woman from Hardoi narrated the harrowing behaviour of her in-laws for dowry.
Ritu Gupta arrived at Yogi’s public meeting in Lucknow with her one-and-a-half-year-old daughter and sought the new UP CM's help.
The woman alleged that her in-laws have been torturing her and demanding Rs 2 lakhs. She had been trying to seek police's action in the case for the last seven months, but all her efforts remained futile.
“I filed a FIR against my in-laws but no investigation was done,” she said, adding that she was forced to leave home and not even provided a meagre amount to fulfill the basic needs of her daughter.
The UP CM promised the lady of action and within minutes, she received a call from the police station and an investigation was launched.
BJP-ruled states go after illegal meat businesses, Mamata rolls out 'Meat on Wheelz'
KOLKATA, Mar 29 (Agencies): At a time when there is a crackdown against illegal slaughterhouses and meat sellers in Uttar Pradesh and other BJP ruled states, the Mamata Banerjee-led West Bengal government has started doorstep delivery of meat, including the non-conventional varieties, in Kolkata.
The 'Meat on Wheelz' initiative of West Bengal Livestock Development Corporation Limited (WBLDCL) will take the government run company's popular brand 'Haringhata meat' to customers across Kolkata and its suburbs.
On offer are cooked non-veg items – including those prepared using non-conventional meat like emu, quail and duck - and frozen items of Haringhata. The sales of non-conventional meat have doubled in the last few years in the state.
Depending on the success of the pilot project, the company has plans to roll out delivery vehicles in district headquarters across the state.
Established in 1974, WBLDCL deals with production, processing, and marketing of meat products. The company also sells non-meat food items like eggs, mustard oil, honey, and ghee.
Haringhata in Nadia district houses WBLDCL's two units. One for pork and the other for chicken, goat, and duck.
As per a recent survey, over 98% of West Bengal's population are non-vegetarians. Telangana is the only state in India that's ahead of West Bengal on the list. Some of the other states with high non-vegetarian population are Kerala, Andhra Pradesh and Bihar.
