Farmers to remind Modi of ‘forgotten promise’ during Aligarh visit

Ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Aligarh on Tuesday, the Bhartiya Kisan Union (BKU) members said over 5,000 farmers from across the district will go to the event to remind him of the ‘pending promise’ of a potato processing unit in the district.
The Prime Minister will be in Aligarh to lay the foundation stone of Raja Mahendra Pratap Singh University.
The farmers said they will leave for Aligarh early in the morning on Tuesday by private vehicles and roadways buses. They will not hold any demonstration at the Prime Minister’s event but will highlight their demands only with handmade posters.
BKU district president Rajveer Lawaniya said, “The Modi government has completed seven years but the potato processing unit still remains a dream. We will go to Aligarh to remind him of his promise he made before the 2014 Lok Sabha elections. We will peacefully highlight our demand at the public event.”
BKU’s women wing leader, Savitri Chahar, said, “We trusted the Prime Minister and farmers voted for BJP in the Lok Sabha and Assembly elections. In return, we got nothing.”
According to farmers, a potato processing unit in Agra is necessary as it will supplement farmers’ income and create a scope for manufacturing of various potato products at the local level. Farmers will not have to preserve potatoes in cold storages for a long time. The unit will also generate employment opportunities.
Agra is the largest potato producing district of northern India, cultivating in around 75,000 hectares of land.
Besides the processing unit, farmers at the Aligarh rally are also going to demand for a subsidy on cold storage charges.
At present, there are 270 cold storage units in Agra district with a total capacity of over 25 lakh metric tonnes.
Modi will also allocate land to 19 investors, investing Rs 1,500 crore in Aligarh node of the defence corridor.

Two Mumbai Residents Duped By Impostors Posing As Policemen; Victims Scammed Through QR Code And Fake ID Claims

Mumbai: A yoga instructor from Santacruz West was cheated by two men posing as policemen, collecting money to distribute clothes and food to the poor. The complainant, Anand Joshi, 67, lodged a complaint at Santacruz police station on Wednesday, saying that he was convinced with the narrative that his neighbour donated Rs10,000 and was shown a fake entry in a register.
When Joshi asked about payment, they asked him to scan a QR code, and he transferred Rs2,000. Later, his neighbour informed him that the men were impostors. It was found that their uniforms were fake and they had arrived on a motorcycle.
In a separate case on Thursday, a hotel and lodge owner, Ratikrushna Patnaik, 55, from Goregaon West, complained to Bangur Nagar police on Thursday of being cheated by a man posing as a crime branch officer named ‘Prakash’ seeking a room, purportedly for VIP bandobast duty. When the lodge staff later asked him for his ID or payment, he refused, allegedly threatened them, and left without paying.
In both cases, offences have been registered under Section 204 (personating a public servant) and other relevant provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.

Did Woman Throw Stone On Mumbai Local Train Driver In ‘Deliberate Revenge Attack’? Here’s The Truth Behind

Mumbai: A video circulating widely on social media shows an elderly woman standing at the door of a moving local train and hurling a large stone at an approaching train on the adjacent track. The video has sparked shock and confusion online, with many users claiming that the incident took place in Mumbai. However, a closer examination reveals that the video is not from Mumbai.
In the viral clip, the woman is seen holding a large stone and aiming at the motorman’s cabin of an oncoming train. After throwing the stone, she is seen shouting at the passing train, though her words are inaudible. The alarming footage prompted social media outrage, with several users tagging Mumbai Police and demanding strict action.
Even the official Mumbai Police account, initially misled by the viral posts, tagged the Mumbai Government Railway Police (GRP) on X (formerly Twitter) for investigation. However, railway enthusiasts and fact-checkers soon pointed out key details in the video that disprove the Mumbai claim.
Netizens are trying to decode and understand what might have prompted her to grab the largest rock she could find and assault the locomotive driver’s cabin while hurling insults. While most viewed this as a funny payback for a ‘missed train,’ others suspected she could be mentally impaired, and some believed she was protesting a certain issue and had carried out a ‘calculated’ assault.
The most telling clue is the front design of the train visible in the footage. It does not match the appearance of Mumbai’s local trains, which operate under Western Railway (WR) and Central Railway (CR) divisions. Instead, the train bears the marking “ER,” which stands for Eastern Railway, a zone operating primarily in West Bengal and nearby states.
Based on the evidence, the video appears to have originated from a region under the Eastern Railway network, not Mumbai. Authorities have not yet confirmed the exact location of the incident, but have responded to the viral post by stating, “The matter has been forwarded to the concerned authorities.@ErRpf” and then in the thread, the RPF Eastern Railway has tagged RPF of Howrah and Sealdah stations. Further information on this incident are awaited.
