The contribution of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose to the freedom struggle of the country has not been given its due recognition by the Centre, said Polit Bureau member of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) and Leader of the Opposition in the Assembly Surjya Kanta Mishra here on Thursday.
 He was speaking at an event organised by Netaji Janmajayanti Committee of the All India Forward Bloc to commemorate the birth anniversary of Netaji.
 “Our demand is that the contribution of Netaji to the freedom struggle of our country has to be given recognition at the national level to enable the present generation know about it,” he said.
 “At a time when the problems faced by women and minorities are waiting to be addressed adequately, Bose’s far-reaching vision to include Hindus, Muslims and women in the Indian National Army remains equally relevant,” he said.
 There is very little mention of those who have laid down their lives in the armed struggle for Independence, Dr. Mishra added.
 Chairperson of the State Left Front Committee Biman Bose accused the United Progressive Alliance government and the State government of not paying heed to the demand to observe Bose’s birth anniversary as “Deshaprem Divas.” The India which Netaji dreamt of was very different from that of the present.
Left leaders, including the former Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee and Mr. Biman Bose, paid homage to Netaji by placing wreaths at his statue.

What's ailing Namami Gange programme?(DTE)

Winters are extremely hectic for Sushma Patel, a vegetable grower in Uttar Pradesh’s Chunar town. Her farm is in the fertile plains of Ganga where people grow three crops a year. But this is the only season when she can grow vegetables. And before that, she needs to manually dig out shreds of plastic and wrappers from her one-hectare (ha) farm. “This is all because of the nullah,” she says, pointing at an open drain that runs through her field, carrying sewage from the neighbourhood to the Ganga. “Every monsoon, the drain overflows and inundates the field with a thick, black sludge and plastic debris. We cannot even go near the field as the stench of sewage fills the air,” she says. But Patel has no one to complain to as this is the way of life for most people in this ancient town. About 70 per cent of the people in Chunar depend on toilets that have on-site sanitation, such as septic tanks and pits. In the absence of a proper disposal or management system, people simply dump the faec...

SC asks Centre to strike a balance on Rohingya issue (.hindu)

Supreme Court orally indicates that the government should not deport Rohingya “now” as the Centre prevails over it to not record any such views in its formal order, citing “international ramifications”. The Supreme Court on Friday came close to ordering the government not to deport the Rohingya. It finally settled on merely observing that a balance should be struck between humanitarian concern for the community and the country's national security and economic interests. The court was hearing a bunch of petitions, one filed by persons within the Rohingya community, against a proposed move to deport over 40,000 Rohingya refugees. A three-judge Bench, led by Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra, began by orally indicating that the government should not deport Rohingya “now”, but the government prevailed on the court to not pass any formal order, citing “international ramifications”. With this, the status quo continues even though the court gave the community liberty to approach i...

High dose of Vitamin C and B3 can kill colon cancer cells: study (downtoearth)

In a first, a team of researchers has found that high doses of Vitamin C and niacin or Vitamin B3 can kill cancer stem cells. A study published in Cell Biology International showed the opposing effects of low and high dose of vitamin C and vitamin B3 on colon cancer stem cells. Led by Bipasha Bose and Sudheer Shenoy, the team found that while low doses (5-25 micromolar) of Vitamin C and B3 proliferate colon cancer stem cells, high doses (100 to 1,000 micromolar) killed cancer stem cells. Such high doses of vitamins can only be achieved through intravenous injections in colon cancer patients. The third leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide, colon cancer can be prevented by an intake of dietary fibre and lifestyle changes. While the next step of the researchers is to delineate the mechanisms involved in such opposing effects, they also hope to establish a therapeutic dose of Vitamin C and B3 for colon cancer stem cell therapy. “If the therapeutic dose gets validated under in vivo...
