Kunbi certificates for Marathas: Health records of 1967 and before being checked in Latur
Authorities in Latur district have begun looking into records of government health institutions to check for documents as part of the state government's plan to give Kunbi certificates to members of the Maratha community in Marathwada. There were 21 primary health institutions in the district before 1967 and some of the records here could have caste details of the patients, which may be useful while deciding on Kunbi certificates, an official said. Zilla Parishad CEO Anmol Sagar has instructed that these records be checked and has set up a seven member team under the tehsil health officer for the purpose, he added. District Health Officer Dr HV Vadgave asked people to contact the tehsil or district health office if they have birth certificate, family welfare surgery documents and "Devi" (a term used in rural parts earlier for smallpox) vaccine records from 1967 and before.
Gandhi family most corrupt in India: Himanta
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Thursday alleged that the Gandhi family is the most corrupt one in the country. His statement came following Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's accusations that the BJP-led government in Assam is the most corrupt in the country. "The Gandhi family is the most corrupt family in the country. This is not 'Nyay Yatra, it's 'Miya Yatra'. Wherever there are Muslims, they visit those places," the chief minister told a press conference. 'Miya' is originally a pejorative term used for Bengali-speaking Muslims in Assam. In recent years, activists from the community have started adopting this term as a gesture of defiance. The Bharat Jodi Nyay Yatra led by Gandhi entered Assam from Nagaland earlier in the day.
