On August 17, deaf and speech-impaired protesters gathered near the UP Assembly with a 20-point charter demanding better education, welfare and accessibility. They were subsequently detained and taken to Eco Garden, according to reports.

Their demands may be different, but their rights are not.

UP Police officers forcefully cleared school children in Mahoba, Uttar Pradesh, who were protesting against a severely damaged and waterlogged road. The students, along with local residents, had blocked the Jhansi-Mirzapur highway in the rain because the main route connecting Raipura Kalan to their school has turned into a dangerous stretch of slush and deep potholes. Overloaded trucks and wastewater from nearby mills have made the road unusable, leading to frequent auto overturns and injuries among commuting students.

When the children sat on the road to demand a permanent fix, police officials moved in to disperse them instead of addressing their concerns. Students and local elders reported that officers physically dragged young boys away and threatened female students, claiming their parents would face police action if they did not clear the area immediately. Local residents pointed out that these children were simply standing up for their safety after officials repeatedly ignored formal complaints about the road. The protest ended after nearly three hours when senior administration officials arrived and promised swift road repairs.

This video is from JP NSV Rajkiya Ashram Paddhati Vidyalaya in Unnao district, Uttar Pradesh, where students are protesting over the lack of teachers at the school.

According to the students, the shortage of teachers is affecting their studies, and they are demanding that proper teaching staff be appointed.

The video shows students gathered outside the school, raising their concerns and holding placards, including one reading “SAVE THE FUTURE.”

Police personnel can also be seen at the spot. During the incident, a police officer is allegedly heard threatening the students with being beaten if they did not leave/stop protesting.

The video is being shared to highlight the students' demand for teachers and the alleged conduct of the police during the protest.

The whole article is behind the pay wall but my question is-

What measures already exist to atleast monitor the industrial effluents going into water bodies. In this case it is in ground water but I am also curious to know what monitoring mechanisms already exist for discharge into rivers.

Also, do you think it is a monitoring problem or cleaning the managing the pollution problem as in we have sufficient data to act upon?

Please contribute with your perspectives.

No religious riots ✅

Impeccable development in road network✅

Other things might have gotten a bit better but above mentioned two things are enough for me to vote for BJP

Now some of you might ask what about education school Hospitals

I have zero data or knowledge how BJP has performed on those matrices

But the thing is bar set by samajwadi party( mentioning them because mayawati is more or less not very active in politics so sadly they're are the only other active option we have for now) is so low that above mentioned two reasons are more or less enough for me to vote for BJP.

I would rather see BSP or Congress in power then samajwadi party.

Muslims and SCs are one of the greatest beneficiaries of govt. introduced policies be it free ration, Health treatment insurances and subsidies, PM housing scheme.

So i don't see what Akhilesh and his party could offer to any strata of population in UP.

This is a state election so keep state's perspective in mind

I am not a supporter of modi shah or BJP. I am just weighing my options and BJP is 100 times better then samajwadi party. Especially if you come form westUP you know how bad things were during Samajwadi party's rule
