Kolkata: West Bengal State Electricity Distribution Company is planning to procure a substantial number of diesel generator (DG) sets and UPS units on a rental basis from neighbouring states like Assam and Bihar.This will be done to ensure an uninterrupted supply of power at polling stations. The state will have 85,379 polling booths at 55,000 polling premises. The Election Commission has directed power companies to ensure continuous supply on voting days.”Out of the 55,000 polling premises, DG sets or UPS units will be deployed in 40,000 locations. In Kolkata, Salt Lake and Siliguri, these backup systems will be stationed at sector offices and dispatched immediately to polling stations as required,” a power official said.EC has expressed concern after discovering that a few hundred polling stations, including about 100 in Kolkata, don’t have electricity ahead of polls. Officials said the lack of power could severely impact webcasting that has been mandated to ensure transparency.The poll body has also directed district election officers to immediately restore electricity at these locations. In places that can’t have direct electricity connections, alternative arrangements have been made. Authorities have been told to ensure no booth should be affected due to the power crisis on polling day, EC sources said.According to sources, the highest number of such booths (50) has been identified in the Kolkata Port constituency. This has raised questions about past polling arrangements in these areas. It has also sparked criticism of infrastructure preparedness.Another power official said on average, 8-10 ICDS centres in each district lack electricity. “These centres usually don’t need power supply as they operate during the day. However, as many will function as polling stations, companies have been told to provide temporary power supply,” the official said.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideos’Never Be Forgiven’: PM Modi Dares Opposition On Women Quota Bill, Priyanka Gandhi Questions Timing‘Won’t Reduce South’s Share’: Amit Shah Clarifies On Delimitation, Calls Oppn Claims ‘Misleading’Hal’s Light Utility Helicopter Explained: Specs, Altitude Edge And Why It Matters‘PM Modi Only Flag Bearer Of Feminism’: Kangana Ranaut Targets Congress Over Women Quota Bill In Lok SabhaPM Modi, French President Macron Stress Urgent Need To Restore Hormuz Safety During Phone Call’If Chanakya Were Alive…’: Priyanka Gandhi’s Swipe At Amit Shah Over Delimitation, Women QuotaNo More Russian Oil Waiver: What The US Decision Means For India’s Energy Needs Amid West Asia CrisisAustria’s Chancellor Calls India Key Partner, Pushes India-EU Trade Deal Amid Global TurmoilLok Sabha Erupts As Sawant Names Sengar, Brij Bhushan; Dubey Hits Back With Aaditya Thackeray Claim‘Not A Backdoor Exercise’: Tejasvi Surya Counters Opposition On Delimitation, Flags Representation Risks123PhotostoriesExclusive – Kiku Sharda opens up about his kids’ reaction to his female roles, Sunil Grover’s talent, and his bond with Kapil Sharma5 Japanese food rituals that could fix your eating habits instantly5 Signs of high emotional intelligence that instantly set you apart from others5 things couples do before calling it quitsWhy your heirloom Kanjeevaram saree feels so different from a modern silk shirt8 most unusual monkeys in the world: From capuchins to mandrillsStep inside Chris Gayle’s ₹20 crore lavish Jamaica mansion with private nightclub, infinity pools and unbelievable ocean views!‘Are we eating all our mangoes’: Why despite being the largest producer of mangoes, India is able to export just 1 percentGold vs lab-grown diamonds: What should you really buy this Akshaya Tritiya?Top 5 posh residential areas in Gurugram for premium living123Hot PicksIran warWipro buyback planPurple cap winnerOrange cap winnerIPL Points TablePublic holidays April 2026Bank Holidays AprilTop TrendingTCS NashikTrump-Modi callSouth Delimitation ImpactAmit ShahPriyanka GandhiUK Flea Treatment RulesAlex ManningerCody RhodesCharlie Kirk ControversyTiger Woods

NEW DELHI: Invoking Manusmriti which says no mother, no father, no wife, and no son deserves to be forsaken and a person who abandons them should be fined, Supreme Court Tuesday held that a daughter-in-law who becomes a widow after the death of her father-in-law is entitled to claim maintenance from his estate under the Hindu Adoptions and Maintenance Act, 1956.The confusion arose as it was contended that a daughter-in-law, who became widow during the lifetime of father-in-law, was entitled to maintenance but not in the case where she became widow after his death. The court said the classification made between widowed daughters-in-law based solely on the timing of the husband’s death is unreasonable and arbitrary and in both cases she is entitled to maintenance.A bench of Justices Pankaj Mithal and S V N Bhatti said Section 22 o Act provides for the maintenance of dependants and casts an obligation upon all the heirs of the deceased Hindu to maintain the dependants of the deceased out of the estate inherited by them from the deceased and it includes daughter-in-law who becomes widow. It said that the provision contemplates “maintenance of dependants”, including “widowed daughter in-law” from the estate of her father-in-law.”A son or the legal heirs are bound to maintain all the dependent persons out of estate inherited i.e. all persons whom the deceased was legally and morally bound to maintain. Therefore, on the death of son, it is the pious obligation of father-in-law to maintain widowed daughter-in-law, if she is unable to maintain herself either on her own or through the property left behind by the deceased son. The Act does not envisage to rule out the above obligation of the father-in-law to maintain his widowed daughter-in-law, irrespective of the fact when she became a widow whether prior or after his death,” SC said. “Denying maintenance to a widowed daughter-in-law… on a narrow or technical construction of the statute would expose her to destitution and social marginalisation…”End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosTibetan Government-In-Exile Urges India To Understand China’s Colonial MindsetAustralia Moves India to Highest-Risk AL3 Category for Student Visas“I Too Want to Help Develop an India Where We Listen…” Rahul Gandhi During Student InteractionCentre Steps In To Scrap 10 Minute Delivery Timers After Safety Fears In India’s Gig Economy GrowMarvel Meets Maharashtra Politics, AI Reels On Civic Polls Turn Thanos, Hulk, Spider-Man Into NetasUS Threatens 25% Tariff on India-Iran Trade, Indian Rice Exporters Warn of LossesIndia To Face 75% US Tariffs After Trump’s Big Iran Announcement?Operation Sindoor Turning Points Revealed: Army Chief Tells What Forced Pakistan To Seek CeasefirePakistan’s Most Loyal Terror Proxy Against India Shows Signs Of Collapse, LeT Cadres Turn On ISILotus Takes Centre Stage As India Sets Tone For BRICS Presidency At Crucial 20 Year Milestone123PhotostoriesWinter Special: How to make Bengali-style Coconut Laddoo with Jaggery (Narkel Naru)From Mamata Banerjee to Dilip Ghosh: Heavyweights in Bengal election 2026 – in pics8 breakfast dishes made with eggs other than omelette and anda bhurji5 reasons why wildlife enthusiasts are heading to Ranthambore right now5 legendary landmarks in Asia named after animalsMakar Sankranti 2026: How to make traditional Moong Dal Khichdi at homeWhy anxiety disorder in teens is on the riseBeautiful Makar Sankranti saree looks inspired by Bollywood actresses in 2026Bengaluru’s metro lifeline gets a boost: Yellow line to roll out 7th train, shorter waits aheadShark Tank India: From a lavish house worth Rs 50 crores to high-end car collection- Namita Thapar’s lavish lifestyle123Hot PicksShaksgam ValleyDubai AirportGold rate todayBengaluru news10-minute deliveryPublic holidays January 2026Bank Holidays JanuaryTop TrendingMumbai Indians vs Gujarat GiantsCharlie KirkVanessa Bryant and Natalia Bryant Net WorthBrooks Koepka and Jena Sims Net WorthDrake Maye WifeBill GatesConnor McDavid WifeTariffs on Tehran Trade PartnersBengaluru Dental Student SuicideMLB Trade Rumors
