. Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday criticised Congress during a public address in Silchar, Assam, saying it was acting as a puppet of forces against India’s growth.Speaking on the second day of his Assam visit, the Prime Minister said, “The forces across the globe that are unable to digest India’s rapid development, the Congress is increasingly becoming a mere puppet in the hands of these very forces,” he said.The prime minister further accused Congress of neglecting the Barak Valley for decades after independence. PM Modi said the region once played a key role in trade but lost its strength after the country’s borders were drawn in a way that cut off its connection to the sea.“The Congress party had left the North East to its own fate. When the country attained independence, the Congress permitted the drawing of the boundary in such a manner that the Barak Valley’s vital link to the sea was completely severed,” he said.Israel Iran WarUS-Israel-Iran War News Live Updates: ‘All oil and energy infrastructure will turn to ashes,’ says Iran after US hits Kharg IslandUs Bombs Kharg Island: Trump says raid hit Iran military targets; warns on Strait shipping’Heart of Iran’s oil exports’: US strikes Kharg Island — why it’s a big blow to TehranThe Prime Minister said the BJP’s double-engine government was now working to change the situation by improving infrastructure and connectivity in the region.PM Modi inaugurated projects worth around Rs 24,000 crore in Silchar, including the Shillong–Silchar high-speed corridor.“Just ask the Congress leaders about this. Hand them a pen and paper, and ask them to write down Rs 24,000 crore, and they won’t even be able to do it,” he said.The 166 km corridor, with an investment of around Rs 22,860 crore, is supposed to significantly improve connectivity between Meghalaya and Assam. Speaking at the occasion, Chief Minister of the poll-bound state, Himanta Biswa Sarma, said, “Elections in Assam are just around the corner. On behalf of the Barak Valley and the people of Assam, I wish to convey this message to the Prime Minister: The people of Assam will bring back the Modi government”.

. NEW DELHI: Medical experts believe that mandatory leave for menstruating women is not necessary as only a minority experience symptoms severe enough to affect their ability to work. While some women may require rest or adjustments during their periods, placing all women on leave is not required, they say.The experts also agree with the Supreme Court’s observation that compulsory menstrual leave could inadvertently discourage employers from hiring women. Menstrual Leave Debate Explodes As Supreme Court Warns Of Hiring Bias Against Women Dr Rajesh Sagar, professor in the psychiatry department at AIIMS, said psychological symptoms linked to the menstrual cycle occur in a small proportion of women.

Many are able to continue working and manage their symptoms. They are usually self-limiting,” he said.Given the variation, Sagar said a blanket policy may not be appropriate. “The decision should remain flexible and individual. Severe problems occur only in a small proportion, so it cannot be generalised,” he said, agreeing with the Supreme Court’s concern that mandatory leave could discourage employers from hiring women.Dr Tripti Raheja, director of obstetrics and gynaecology at C K Birla Hospital, Delhi, said menstrual discomfort is common but severe symptoms are less frequent.Nearly 70-80% of women experience some menstrual discomfort such as cramps, fatigue or headaches. However, about 10-20% face symptoms severe enough to interfere with work, particularly during the first one or two days of their cycle, she said.Conditions such as severe dysmenorrhea, endometriosis and heavy bleeding can sometimes cause debilitating pain, nausea or weakness. “In such cases, rest or a temporary reduction in workload may be medically advisable, just like any other health condition,” she said. Raheja added that acknowledging menstrual health in workplace policies is important, but rigid rules may not work. Flexible options such work-from-home arrangements could help women manage symptoms without creating unintended discrimination.About the AuthorAnuja JaiswalAnuja Jaiswal is a Senior Assistant Editor at The Times of India, with an impressive 18-year career in narrative journalism.

. NEW DELHI: In a classic case of delayed justice, a woman tired of having to wait endlessly in Patna HC, which could not pronounce the judgment it reserved in 2017, on Friday fervently requested the Supreme Court to help her end the ordeal. The woman said her husband had obtained a divorce decree in 2012 from a Patna family court accusing her of cruelty at home. She had challenged it before Patna HC and sought annulment of the decree. The judge reserved the judgment in 2017 but was transferred, thrusting her appeal in limbo. A HC bench of Justices Ravi Ranjan and S Kumar on Dec 6, 2017, concluded hearing arguments from counsel representing her and her husband and reserved verdict.

Justice Kumar retired on Oct 21, 2022. The transfer and retirement made the order of reserving verdict infructuous as arguments were required to be heard afresh by a new bench. She moved the HC with an application seeking expeditious fresh hearing on her 2012 petition. A HC division bench of Justices P B Bajanthri and B P Singh took up the application for early hearing on April 11 last year, nearly eight years after the HC had reserved verdict on her plea. It said, “Having regard to the aforementioned order, formal order from the Hon’ble Acting Chief Justice is required to list this matter before the concerned Roster Bench. In this regard the Registry is requested to take necessary orders from the Hon’ble Acting Chief Justice.” Neither the acting chief justice nor the new chief justice S K Sahoo, who joined in January this year, have taken any step to place her petition before a bench for hearing. The woman’s counsel told a bench of CJI Surya Kant, Justices Joymalya Bagchi and Vipul M Pancholi that the SC is the lone hope for her. The bench expressed disappointment at the lack of sensitivity among HCs on matrimonial disputes. The CJI-led bench said matrimonial disputes should be decided early. But the SC carved out an exception in this case and requested the Patna HC to list the case urgently for hearing and asked the new bench in HC to decide the matter in three weeks.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideos‘Would Never Recover’: Rajnath Singh Warns Pakistan, Cites BrahMos Strike In Op SindoorPM Modi Invokes Nehru To Accuse Congress Of Spreading Misinformation During US-Iran War CrisisMajor Diplomatic Win For India: Iran Envoy Fathali Signals Safe Passage For Indian Ships At Hormuz2 Indians Killed, 10 Injured In Oman Drone Attack; MEA Shares Latest On Citizens In GulfWhite House Tug-Of-War Over How To Declare Victory; Is Putin The Biggest Winner In Iran War?TMC Bid To Meet President Murmu Gets Snubbed By Rashtrapati Bhavan After Protocol ControversyAs LPG Shortage Panic Spreads, Centre Urges Citizens Not To Hoard Cylinders And Opt For PNGMenstrual Leave Debate Explodes As Supreme Court Warns Of Hiring Bias Against Women’Glad India Taking Initiative’: Cong MP Shashi Tharoor Lauds PM Modi’s Outreach To Iran PresidentEAM Jaishankar Holds Fourth Call With Iran Foreign Minister Amid Rising Strait Of Hormuz Tensions123Photostories10 ways to add Moringa to your daily meals in March and why it’s the perfect timeFrom undergoing seven painful IVF procedures to a pregnancy photoshoot before her miscarriage, Sambhavna Seth opens up about her difficult IVF journeyHow to identify sweet coconut water before buying a coconut6 easy kitchen hacks to clean gas burners and reduce LPG wastageQueues, panic and pressure: How Middle East tensions triggered India’s LPG alarmChef Sanjeev Kapoor shares how to recreate the most searched recipes at home5 luxury cars with massaging seats that make long drives relaxingEating too fast may be hurting your digestion and weight: Doctors explain the 20-minute ruleChefs share 5 tips which can make any boring meal super tasty7 Indian meals that require very little LPG to cook123Hot PicksGold Price PredictionIndian RupeeStock Market TodayGold rate todayIncome Tax CalculatorPublic holidays March 2026Bank Holidays MarchTop TrendingPatrick MahomesBrittany Mahomes Net WorthWilt ChamberlainMovsar EvloevMichael BispingLPG Crisis IndiaMadison Pettis GirlfriendIran US WarIPL 2026 Chennai Super KingsMiddle East War
