WB polls: Last villages at Indo-Bangladesh border demand pending ST cards, water supply

The last village at the India - Bangladesh border in West Bengal's Nadia district along with its two neighbouring villages is demanding the long-pending Schedule Tribe card this election season.

The residents of the village had appealed to the local administration several times but all in vain.

In return villagers were told to prove their 'Mahato identity by birth.

Schedule Tribe card is not the only thing villagers of New Shikarpur, and neighbouring villages, Raninagar and Dohokola lack.

Water is second in line, although the village has several tubewells but most of them don't' work.

They are forced to pay Rs.

10 for each barrel of drinking water which is a pain on the finances of families.

Karimpur, the constituency under which the villages come, will go to polls on April 22 in the sixth and last phase.

Bangladesh: Thousands of Minority Hindus Rally in Dhaka, Demand Protection From Anti-Hindu Mobs

In the wake of escalating violence against minorities in Bangladesh, hundreds have taken to the streets of Dhaka to demand urgent protections for Hindus and other vulnerable communities. Following the ousting of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in August, minority groups report a significant increase in threats and attacks, perceived as reprisals due to their support for her regime. The caretaker government, led by Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus, has condemned these attacks but insists many are politically motivated rather than based on religious intolerance. #Bangladesh #MinorityRights #DhakaProtests #HinduCommunity #SheikhHasina #MuhammadYunus #PoliticalViolence
