How are we different from a theocracy if we prioritise #mobjustice over the rule of law? A railway cop is murdered in broad daylight while the police watch. If the law can’t protect its own, tomorrow it could be any of us. #Odisha #constablelynching #rpf https://t.co/DalrwvdK89

Former #OdishaCM #bijupatnaik was once conferred the #GadhaShiromani award and he wholeheartedly embraced it without feeling slighted. Read more about the episode and of more simpler times when CMs took brickbats in their stride. @Naveen_Odisha @bjd_odisha @CMO_Odisha

The life of former #SriLankan #LTTE guerrillas is a "distress story not widely known, rarely highlighted". A moving and insightful piece on the penury and misery that former cadres live in today, in @TheFederal_News.

And the comments in these videos are hilarious, often bordering on bashing and slut-shaming the woman if it is a marital rift and in this case, adulating how the foreign woman has taken to our culture.

The media wields great powers to change perspectives. But in Odisha, we are stuck in the stone age, wagging tongues over celebrity divorces and "bidesini bohus". It's a pity to see #OdiaMedia covering such news for views. #Odisha #MediaEthics

What we are forgetting is that we are comparing the foreigner who has had the agency to go for an interracial marriage and travel hundreds of miles to India with our hapless women, most of whom can't even pick the outfit of their choosing, let alone their life partner.

At a time when out of sight, out of mind is a sad reality, it is a heartwarming gesture to see your employer @TheFederal_News walk the extra mile to ship you the #womensday hamper when you are on maternity leave 😀

Promises by #NDA
and #mahagathbandhan to fetch the moon mean nothing to Bihar migrants toiling in foreign soils. Betrayed time and again, they say all poll promises are made to be broken. @aamidebayan tells their story in the backdrop of #BiharElection2025

#TheEighthColumn | As Bengali-speaking migrants are labelled ‘Bangladeshis’ in BJP-ruled states and face detentions , Bengal reasserts its linguistic identity through poetry, protests, and even Puja sarees bearing Bangla script, writes @samirpurkayast1.

This father gave the clan’s diktat precedence over his daughter. Now she is gone. Tormented and burnt alive! Shouldn’t this be a wake-up call for parents who ask daughters to endure abusive marriages?

A fire broke out at an abandoned police station in #Kilpauk's Secretariat Colony today. The fire brigade took its sweet time to come. But it was the locals who saved the day. Kudos to their spirit. #MKStalin #chennaipolice #Chennai
