A 13-year-old girl from Palghar district ran away from home, reportedly upset over feeling that her mother favoured her sibling. She was later traced by police, an officer told news agency PTI on Friday.  The incident occurred within the jurisdiction of Safale Police Station on Thursday. The girl was in severe emotional distress and at risk of self-harm, the officer said. The minor, a resident of Hanjaroli village, was upset by the belief that her mother showed more affection towards her younger sister and favoured her, he added. Local police personnel, with support from villagers, launched a search operation to find the girl. She was eventually located near the Dranjaroli Dam area, said District Superintendent of Police Yatish Deshmukh. “Our primary concern was her safety. Fortunately, she was found unharmed. Following her rescue, she underwent professional counselling to address her negative thoughts and emotional distress,” he said, adding that she has since been reunited with her parents.

Union flags favouritism in Railways promotion, writes letter to Ashwini Vaishnaw

Union flags favouritism in Railways promotion, writes letter to Ashwini Vaishnaw

Published by Webster

The IRSTMU believes that the employees who suffer mental and physical pain due to such postings fail to give their 100 per cent to the organisation and often work half-heartedly. The Indian Railway Signal and Telecom Maintainers’ Union (IRSTMU) wrote a letter to Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, highlighting favouritism in the promotion in the Railways. IRSTMU alleged that promotion in Railways comes with almost mandatory transfer and favouritism plays a crucial role in it. A letter dated February 27 underscored these anomalies and suggested that employees should be allowed to give their preferences for vacant positions and decisions should be taken keeping that in mind. Though promotion norms are well-settled in railways, a lot of employees refuse to get promoted because they are aware that they would be transferred to far-off places and undesirable destinations, IRSTMU general secretary Alok Chandra Prakash said in the letter.  ‘Only those who are in the good books of seniors get desirable places’ “Only those who are in the good books of their seniors get desirable places while the …

Published by Webster

Ruturaj Gaikwad in action for CSK in IPL 2024© AFP Legendary Indian cricket team batter Krishnamachari Srikkanth blasted BCCI over ignoring Chennai Super Kings skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024. Ruturaj did not find a place in the India squad despite good performances in IPL 2024 and Srikkanth was not happy with BCCI adding Shubman Gill to the reserve list. Srikkanth accused the team management of ‘favouritism’ and said that Gill seems to get chances even when he is not performing in any format. Ruturaj is currently the highest run-scorer in IPL 2024 while Gill is in the 13th spot with 320 runs. “Shubman Gill is totally out of form, but why he’s selected in the team. There’s no doubt that Ruturaj Gaikwad deserves a place. He scored more than 500 runs in 17 innings. Also he scored a century against Australia. Shubman Gill is selectors’ delight. He gets chance even if he fails. He finds place even if he fails in Test, ODIs and T20s.There’s too much of favoritism in …

Dibyendu Bhattacharya calls out favouritism taking over OTT: Character artistes who were getting roles will be sidelined once again due to star system | Web Series

Published by Webster

OTT platforms gave enormous opportunities to actors to experiment with good content and do performance-driven characters. However, with filmmakers focussing more on signing actors with a ‘star value’, Dibyendu Bhattarcharya feels that things are back to square one. “Jis cheez se bach kar OTT bana tha, phir se wahi ho raha hai. Pehle jo chalta tha ki uske bhai-bhateeje ko lekar aao, we will make a film…that’s what’s happening on OTT now. It’s sad but what can we do?,” asks the actor who recently wrapped up the shoot of web show Rocket Boys 2. He highlights that there’s no line between OTT and film industry, and it has all become a common space. “There is just one industry now, cinema is not left anymore. So where will those people go? They also need to work and pay their bills and will move to OTT for the same,” he says and expresses worry saying, “And character artistes, who were getting roles because of OTT, will be sidelined once again.
