Sule demands job assurance to Pahalgam attack victim's kin be implemented immediately
'We had demanded a job to Asawari citing that the sole earning member of the family Santosh Jagdale was killed. The chief minister had assured us of the job but has not implemented it till now,' said Sule.
The NCP(SP) leader said, 'Asawari is highly qualified and will be given a government job in PMC. The state government should implement its assurance.'
Sule, who held a discussion with PMC officers on civic issues, highlighted the fatal road accidents taking place on city roads including the one at Gangadham chowk. 'The PMC needs to act fast in resolving civic issues that are costing lives of citizens. The water pollution in Khadakwasla dam is another serious issue which the civic body will resolve fast,' she said, adding the road conditions in the city and water logging is causing inconvenience to citizens.
The NCP (SP) working president said the delimitation process for PMC elections have started as per state government decision. 'We want it to be a transparent process which is based on a standard formula and not as per the imagination of any person,' she said.
Sule said that the state government is planning to recover the property tax from residents of newly merged 32 villages despite assurance of no recovery ahead of Lok Sabha and state assembly elections. 'They seem to be least bothered about promises after the elections. The PMC has not yet provided any services in these areas, so why should they recover property tax?,' she added.
The NCP(SP) leader said she was shocked by the closure of Sarasbaug by PMC on the alleged demand of a BJP MP to avoid the muslim community from celebrating Eid in the garden. 'I wasn't aware of this. It is shocking. If I was told earlier I would have got it opened. I will ensure it is not repeated next year,' she said.
On the ongoing indefinite hunger strike by former legislator Bachu Kadu, Sule said that the NCP(SP) has extended support to Kadu as he is justified in seeking justice for farmers who are in distress. 'The Mahayuti has assured complete loan waiver to farmers but has not taken any decision so far. The farmers are suffering with their hard work going in vain due to heavy rain across the state,' she said, adding that the legislator has been asked to take care of his health.

Bangladesh: Yunus forms panel to probe Gopalganj clashes, blames Hasina's party for 'planned attack'
Bangladesh's Chief Advisor Muhammad Yunus forms an inquiry commission to investigate the July 16 Gopalganj clashes, accusing the banned Awami League and its student wing of orchestrating a planned attack on the National Citizens Party rally. read more Bangladesh's Chief Advisor Muhammad Yunus has formed a six-member inquiry commission to investigate the recent violent clashes in Gopalganj, alleging that the banned Awami League and its student wing, Bangladesh Chhatra League, orchestrated a premeditated attack on a public gathering of the National Citizens Party (NCP) on July 16. In a statement issued by the government, Dr. Yunus said the commission was being formed in response to the 'deterioration of law and order, attacks on the district prison and government establishments, and disruptions to public safety' during the unrest surrounding the NCP's scheduled event in the Gopalganj district headquarters. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD গোপালগঞ্জে হামলার ঘটনায় সাবেক বিচারপতির নেতৃত্বে তদন্ত কমিশন গঠন ঢাকা, ২৪ জুলাই ২০২৫: গত ১৬ জুলাই ২০২৫ তারিখে গোপালগঞ্জ জেলা সদরে জাতীয় নাগরিক পার্টি (এনসিপি) এর পূর্বনির্ধারিত জনসভাকে কেন্দ্র করে সংঘটিত সহিংসতা, আইন-শৃঙ্খলা পরিস্থিতির অবনতি, জেলা কারাগারসহ বিভিন্ন সরকারি… — Chief Adviser of the Government of Bangladesh (@ChiefAdviserGoB) July 24, 2025 The commission will be chaired by retired Supreme Court Justice Dr. Md. Abu Tariq, a decorated freedom fighter. Other members include Khandaker Md. Mahbubur Rahman (Additional Secretary, Public Security Division), Md. Saiful Islam (Senior District and Sessions Judge), Brigadier General Shahidur Rahman Osmany (Commander, 21 Infantry Brigade), Sardar Nurul Amin (Additional Inspector General of Police), and Dr. Sajjad Siddiqui (Chair, Department of Peace and Conflict Studies, University of Dhaka). Formed under Section 3 of the Commission of Inquiry Act, 1956, the panel has been tasked with identifying the causes of the violence, the actors behind it, and recommending legal action. It will also examine the attacks on the prison, other state facilities, and disruptions to public order, as well as suggest measures to prevent similar incidents in the future. The decision follows findings by a preliminary investigation committee that implicated supporters of the outlawed Awami League and its affiliates in what was described as a 'planned' assault on NCP members and sympathizers. The violence prompted local authorities to impose Section 144 of the Criminal Procedure Code, followed by a curfew and the deployment of armed forces under In-Aid-to-Civil Power provisions. The crackdown resulted in casualties, although no official figures have been released yet. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Dr. Yunus's administration has tasked the Public Security Division of the Ministry of Home Affairs with supporting the inquiry commission logistically and financially. The panel is required to submit its findings, along with actionable recommendations, within three weeks. The Chief Advisor's move marks a decisive escalation in the government's response to political unrest, placing blame squarely on former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's banned political network and intensifying scrutiny of its alleged activities despite its proscribed status.
