MCD, BMC Elections: Lives Of Citizens At Stake Amid Political Fight In Local Bodies

Sayani ChakrabortyNovember 5, 20220

Local elections are coming up in both Delhi and Mumbai, and the stakes in the political arena have never been higher. In Delhi's assembly elections, BJP and AAP campaigned for MCD in 2017 by projecting images of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, respectively; nonetheless, Delhi voters favoured the BJP.

As the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) expands its national reach to include Gujarat, the state of Delhi holds its election under a cloud of uncertainty. The BJP has a great chance to take control of BMC as well, which is being run by the Thackeray family for decades. Shiv Sena faced an existential threat from the BJP in the BMC elections of 2017.

Arpita SarkarSeptember 23, 20220

Pregnant women have to be very careful about food after giving birth. There are various restrictions on what to eat and what not to eat. Sometimes I want to eat sweets in the middle of the night, sometimes raw mangoes. Pregnant women jokingly say that it is not theirs, but actually, the child's desire for food has arisen. But the question is whether they understand the taste of food. A recent study found that if the mother eats carrots while the baby is in the womb, then the child smiles, and if the mother eats vegetables, the baby frowns. A new study of nearly 100 pregnant women and their fetuses in England was published Wednesday in the journal Sage. In the study, mothers were fed capsules made of leafy greens and carrot powder.

Arpita SarkarAugust 26, 20220

The protective scent that many tumour cells spray themselves with suppresses the immune system. However, it appears that a drug that is already approved for other uses can neutralize this weapon. A study from the University of Bonn and the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf published in the Journal for Immunotherapy of Cancer proves this. The researchers said, "The substance will now be further optimized. This could eventually lead to the development of anti-cancer drugs." Many cancer cells have dense clouds of adenosine around them.

Arpita SarkarAugust 20, 20220

All vehicular entrances to Naroda and Naroda Patiya were barricaded on Friday. Police presence in these areas of Ahmedabad, which saw the worst of the 2002 Gujarat riots, is usually associated with something ominous. But, on Friday, it was for a fun fair on the streets of Naroda, where children jumped on trampolines, a young girl walked on a tightrope mesmerizing onlookers, while adults bought various items from stalls set up on the pavement. Amid a raging controversy over the release of 11 convicts in the 2002 Bilkis Bano gang-rape case, life continued as normal in Naroda and Naroda Patia — where an armed mob of about 5,000 killed more than 97 people during the 2002 riots.
