Three migrant labourers on their way to Gopalganj district in Bihar were killed in Mirzapur district of Uttar Pradesh on Friday after a truck ran over them while they were sleeping on an empty patch of land.
The three, who were cousins, had hired a car for Rs 70,000 to take them from Mumbai to their home in Bihar. Their families had cobbled together the money by borrowing from moneylenders in their village.
The victims were identified as Raju Singh (23), Amit Singh (26) and Saurabh Kumar (23). They were five others in the car— four migrant workers and a driver. The labourers used to work at an infrastructure firm in Mumbai’s Andheri, earning about Rs 10,000 a month.
“The accident happened between 5 and 6 am. The driver survived, while three migrant workers succumbed. The victims and the survivors were sent in separate vehicles. Four were from Gopalganj, while three were from Vaishali in Bihar. Of the four from Gopalganj, three died,” said Mirzapur SP Dharmveer Singh.
Asked about the cause of the accident, the SP said, “The truck driver either slept off or the steering failed. We will investigate that.”
The police have lodged a case against the driver, 46-year-old Rambaran, under IPC sections 304-A (causing death by negligence), and 279 (rash driving). “He was arrested from the spot,” said Lalganj Station House Officer Harishchandra Saroj.
In a statement, the SP said the labourers were resting outside the house of a block chief in Lalganj, around 40 feet from the main road, when the incident occurred.
“In the car, three people were sleeping, while outside on the grass four were sleeping. An empty truck came and lost control and crushed the workers. Two people died on the spot, while one died in the hospital. The accused has been arrested,” Singh added.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath expressed grief over the mishap and announced compensation of Rs 2 lakh for the deceased, and directed officials to ensure treatment for the injured.

Four years ago, the woman, now in her late fifties, had wandered away from her village in Ratnagiri district. Suffering from mental illness, she travelled over 1,000 km into Tamil Nadu, without knowing where she was going. There she lived the life of a destitute. On Thursday, in the most unlikely circumstances, the Covid-19pandemic and the subsequent lockdown reunited her with her two children in Chennai.
A month ago, junior railway engineer Shyam Meena first spotted her alone at the Arokkonam railway station, a small town 70 km west of Chennai. She was healthy but dishevelled, he says, and had spent three-four days at the railway station.
“We first thought she had parted with her family and was waiting at the station. Soon, we realised she was suffering from some mental illness. She was staying at the railway station because everything else was shut and there was nowhere else to go,” Meena, 39, said.
She had not eaten food or drank water for several days. The railway officials fed her and when they asked her about her native place, she could remember just three things: the names of her village, taluka, and her two children.
“The lockdown had helped as she was forced to stay in one place. I started searching online for the village. It took us two days,” Meena said. He found the number for the local police station. Four hours after his first call to Ratnagiri police, the woman’s son was traced.
Meena had called the landline of Devrukh police station, a small town in Maharashtra, and spoken to the on-duty constable. Inspector Nisha Jadhav of Devrukh station said the constable, who answered the call, asked Meena to send the woman’s photo, and armed with it, started visiting villages around Devrukh. “We knew her surname, people with a particular surname live together in specific villages. In one of the villages, the sarpanch recognised her photo and gave her son’s number,” Jadhav said.
That night the son made a video call on Meena’s phone, and identified his mother. “But she had to be explained who he was,” Meena said.
The woman has been suffering from mental illness for over a decade. After her husband died, both her children were admitted to a government home while she lived in the village. Sunil Kamble, the former head of the government home, where the son was residing, said she could not regularly meet her children due to her illness. “About four years ago, she just left home. Since then they had been looking for her,” he said, adding that both her children were educated at the government home. While her daughter is married, her son has recently completed his education.
After the video call with their mother, they started preparing for police permissions to travel to Tamil Nadu. Despite the lockdown, police facilitated the paperwork to allow them to travel. The woman, meanwhile, stayed under the care of railway officials for a few days and was later shifted to a shelter home run by an NGO for mentally ill. On Thursday, her son and daughter reached Chennai and met her.
Officials with the NGO said since Maharashtra has a high number of Covid-19 cases, the children have decided that their mother would continue to stay in Tamil Nadu until the pandemic eases out.
Mohd Tarique, from NGO Koshish, said, “The problem is mentally ill destitute persons have always been neglected. Earlier, they would get food from a local shop or neighbourhood, now lockdown has shut even that source,” he said.
“The lockdown has affected several people psychologically. Destitute, who are mentally ill, are last in the priority list of the government. But their mental needs have to be addressed,” said Dr KV Kishore Kumar, director of The Banyan, an NGO that works for mentally ill.

Stick to the Syllabus
Students should revisit the syllabus and stick to it strictly. They must resist the temptation of studying topics that are irrelevant to the syllabus. Remember, the examination is more of a test of your personality rather than knowledge. Also, they must not fall prey to reading a new textbook or notes during this time. Revise and revise. Your handwritten notes will come handy at this time. Focus on conceptual clarity instead of merely cramming facts.
Manage your Study Time
Aspirants must manage and organize their time well to revise all the topics that they have prepared for. The selective intensive study must be followed to concentrate on your key strength areas. It is the quality of preparation rather than quantity that matters. Take a short break every hour. Try to assess the time of the day when your concentration level is the highest and utilize it for your studies. Do not think about the past results and instead concentrate on the present.
Focus on Current Affairs
Students should be thoroughly abreast of current affairs. Studying at least one newspaper daily is a must especially opinion columns that give you a perspective on current events. Aspirants need to have a strong base knowledge of major topics in the syllabus, including awareness of key current developments in India and worldwide.
Practise Mock Tests and Previous Year Papers
Solving mock tests and previous years’ papers helps you to get into the frame of the examination and manage your time well during the examination. It also makes you familiar with the pattern of the question paper. Try to solve as many mock tests as you can. This will boost your confidence. It is also important to keep a balance between your speed and accuracy.
Stay positive
It is important to stay positive throughout the examination cycle. It is imperative to keep reminding yourself that your preparation is up to the mark and it is just an ‘examination’ at the end of the day. It is important to maintain calm. Practising a 5-10-minute meditation also helps to cope with stress.

With the COVID-19 outbreak and the nationwide lockdown leading to a surge in the prices of pulses in India, Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Governor Shaktikanta Das on Friday flagged the need for a review of the import duties levied on these products.
Some experts feel the duties would have to be brought down to at least 15 per cent from duties as high as 50 per cent at present, in order to ensure sufficient supply and stabilise these prices.
“The supply shock to food prices in April may show persistence over the next few months, depending upon the state of the lockdown and the time taken to restore the supply chains after relaxation of the lockdown. Among the pressure points, the elevated level of pulses inflation is worrisome and warrants timely and swift supply side interventions, including a re-appraisal of the import duties,” said Das during Friday’s announcement, where the central bank cut interest rates and extended the moratorium on term loans and working capitals by another three months.
Food inflation — which had eased in February and March — had “suddenly reversed” and surged 8.6 per cent in April “as supply disruptions took their toll immune to the ongoing demand compression”, said Das, citing “incomplete” inflation data by the National Statistics Organisation (NSO).
“Prices of vegetables, pulses, oilseeds, milk and cereals emerged as pressure points,” he said, adding that the inflation outlook is “highly uncertain”.
India produced 23.40 million tonnes of pulses in the 2018-19 crop year, 25.42 million tonnes in 2017-18, and 23.13 million tonnes in 2016-17, according to government data.
Prior to this, production of pulses in the country remained below 20 million tonnes (between 2005-06 and 2015-16).
Meanwhile, imports of most pulses dropped between 2016-17 and 2018-19, according to data from the Ministry of Commerce and Industry.
“Normally, for all these years, we were continuously short of pulses. But, in 2016-17, we had around six million tonnes jump in production. This used to be on average the amount in pulses that we would import every year,” said Dr Ashok Gulati, Infosys chair professor for agriculture at ICRIER. This led to a raise in import duties to as much as 50 per cent from around five per cent earlier, he said.
“Now, we have run out of all those stocks and there is domestic pressure and excessive demand, perhaps because of the lockdown … the only way to cool down the pressure is to augment supply by reducing the duty to around 15 per cent,” Gulati said.
The nationwide lockdown has also halted activities in pulse mills, leading to the shortfall and sharp spike in price currently being experienced, according to Trade Promotion Council of India (TPCI) chairman Mohit Singla. “Approximately 3 million tonnes of imported pulses would be needed to meet the shortfall in the current fiscal year, as domestic consumption of pulses is at 25 million tonnes,” he said.
“A production target of 26.30 million tonnes for pulses was set by the Union Government for the year 2019-20. The actual production would be reduced by 10 per cent because of unseasonal rain and a subsequent reduction in the area of land being cultivated for pulses,” Singla said.
“Thus, the government may think to further revise the import quota or can also think to reduce import tariff as suggested by RBI to release the inflationary pressure,” he added.
Bihar’s department of education is contemplating to modify its May 18 order, which made payment of 7th UGC pay arrear to teachers in universities and colleges only after clearance from the pay verification cell of the government, following widespread protests form teachers and their associations across the state.
A senior department official said the department would put a rider that verification from the cell would not be required for those who have got the authentication slip for the sixth pay.
This would still prohibit nearly 1000 teachers from availing the 7th pay arrear, though they are drawing the revised salary. The matter will be referred to the department of finance for final approval. A department official said the department would exempt the new teachers appointed since 2017 from verification, as there was no issue with their salary fixation.
However, for two universities – BRA Bihar University (Muzaffarpur) and LN Mithila Univeristy (Darbhanga) – director, higher education, Rekha Kumari issued a separate order on May 20 to the registrars that verification of 7th pay revision from the cell was mandatory for arrear payment. Interestingly, the order has come when bulk of the teaachers have already got their arrear payment in BRA Bihar University.
The May 18 notification issued by special secretary, department of education, to all the registrars said that many vice chancellors had sought guidelines for arrear payment and it had been found that the pay verification cell had not yet issued the approval list for the 7th pay to them. The government has already been paying 7th UGC pay to teachers for nearly a year
Patna University teachers’ association (PUTA), federation of university teachers’ association of Bihar (FUTAB), teachers’ associations of College of commerce, Arts & Science, AN College and various other bodies questioned the role of cell in the university matters and the timing of the letter “at the behest of some VCs”.
“This is what makes things complicated when the state universities are headed by people who don’t have the idea of what happened in the past. The universities have a statutory body in the form of pay fixation committee to deal with such matters. The pay verification cell cannot overrule the statutory body,” said FUTAB president KB Sinha.
Sanjay Kumar, MLC and general secretary of FUTAB, cited the department’s own order of 2015 after a case against the constitution of the pay verification cell was filed in the Patna High Court. The 2015 order clearly defined the cell’s role in the light of the court ruling that it could not annul or modify previous notifications issued by the university through its statutory committee, unilaterally.
In its order, the HC had clearly defined the status and role of the pay verification cell, constituted by the state government on April 8, 2013 to authenticate all the claims of teachers and employees to prepare a comprehensive database.
“When the government has started paying 7th pay and also released funds for arrear payment, it shows the incompetence of the universities to delay it for months and then seek further guidelines to mislead the department, knowing fully well that when the PVC has not been able to complete verification in seven years, it could further take years to do the same,” said Sinha.
The victims were identified as Raju Singh (23), Amit Singh (26) and Saurabh Kumar (23). They were five others in the car— four migrant workers and a driver. (Representational)
