UP gives more for stray cows' food than pension to elderly, widows: Govt data
With Uttar Pradesh clamping down on the slaughter of cows beyond the productive age, and oxen and bulls, most farmers simply release these animals to avoid caring for them. The result has been a sharp increase in the number of stray cattle, which often invade agricultural fields, much to the dismay of other farmers. The state’s solution to this soaring problem has been to set up more cow protection centres.

1.2 crore MGNREGS workers will not be paid because they are not on Aadhaar-based wage system
The fourth extension for mandatory payments under Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme via Aadhaar Based Payments System ends on August 31. As the numbers stand, out of the total 26 crore job card holders, 41.1% are still not eligible for this mode of payment. The Ministry of Rural Development has ruled out any more extensions, arguing that among the active workers, only 18.3% are ineligible.

Massive unemployment and returning worker can be given employment and incomes through #MGNREGS. The much-maligned scheme, underfunded by both Congress and BJP, must be expanded to tide over the crisis. #PeopleProtestModiGovt
