As NHRC confirms #Cgarh policemen raped, assaulted Adivasi women, a replug of my ground report & what survivors said hindustantimes.com/india/three-ye…

It is with profound grief that we mourn the sad demise of Senior Photojournalist and Vice Chairman of the Mumbai Press Club, Rajanish Kakade. Rajanish, 55, was not only a seasoned lensman but also a guiding force for generations of young photojournalists. Through his work, he captured defining moments with integrity and sensitivity. Through his mentorship, he shaped countless careers, always encouraging young photographers to pursue the truth with courage and compassion. His contribution to Mumbai’s journalistic fraternity went far beyond photographs — he built people, strengthened institutions, and upheld the finest traditions of the press. A recipient of several national and international awards, Rajanish began his career with the Sakal Group before joining the Hindustan Times, where he worked for three years. He later joined the Associated Press and had been with the organization for the past eighteen years. His passing leaves a deep void in the media community. He will be remembered for his humility, sharp eye, unwavering commitment to journalism, and his nurturing spirit towards budding talent. Heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, and the entire fraternity of journalists and photographers. His legacy will continue to inspire. His mortal remains will be kept at his residence and will be taken to the Shivaji Park Crematorium at 11 a.m. Our hearts go out to his family, and may they find the strength to bear this immense loss.

#Maharashtra added more electors in 5 mnths before the state elections 2024, than in the prev 5 yrs. My analysis indicates large additions, concentrated in regions & constituencies largely won by Mahayuti, and timed with pre-poll mobilization windows. #RTI thewire.in/government/mah…
