"Puddling" is a fascinating, common behavior where male butterflies gather in groups on moist substances such as mud, rotting plant matter, dung, to drink fluids rich in nutrients like Sodium & potassium. Common sight during summer & monsoon season. @DudhwaTR @rameshpandeyifs

@CMofKarnataka @PriyankKharge Rising heat is killing MGNREGS workers in North Karnataka — no timing relief, no shade, no water. A state GO is urgently needed. You acted last year. Please act NOW. Protect workers from the heat! #HeatWave2026 #MGNREGS @readingkafka @rdprgok

This was done to strengthen workers’ access to employment rights and entitlements. @sndeep

Every time it rains, this is the reality in our area. Streets turn into rivers, homes get flooded, and daily life comes to a halt. We deserve better drainage, better planning, and safer place. ChamrajpetConstituency #urbanflood #NeedAction #bengalururains #rainImpact

Study on Makkala Grama Sabhe, Chikkodi shows progress, but major gaps remain: most GPs held meetings, yet children’s real concerns are missing from records & participation barriers persist. Reforms needed to make child participation meaningful @readingkafka @rdprgok @rahul7shinde

@WorkersBoard ಪ್ರತಿ ವಾರ್ಡುಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ದುಡಿಯುವ ಮಹಿಳಾ ಕಾರ್ಮಿಕರಿಗೆ ಅವರ ಮಕ್ಕಳನ್ನು ನೋಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳಲು ಅನುಕೂಲವಾಗುವಲ್ಲಿ ಮಕ್ಕಳ‌ಪಾಲನಾ ಕೇಂದ್ರ/children's creche ಮತ್ತು ಪೌಷ್ಟಿಕ ಆಹಾರ ಮಕ್ಜಳಿಗೆ ಕೊಡುವ ಮೂಲಕ ಮಹಿಳಾ ಕಾರ್ಮಿಕರು ನಿರಾತಂಕವಾಗಿ ಕೆಲಸ ಮಾಡಲು ಅನುಕೂಲ ಮಾಡುವುದು ಅಗತ್ಯವಿದೆ @ActionAidIndia @WorkersBoard

ಕೆಲಸದ ಸ್ಥಳಗಳಿಗೆ ಮಕ್ಕಳನ್ನು ಕರೆತಂದರೆ ಅಪಾಯವುಂಟಾಗುವ ಸಾಧ್ಯತೆ ಇದೆ. ಮಕ್ಕಳ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಗಮನ ಹರಿಸಲು ಸಾಧ್ಯವಿಲ್ಲದಿದ್ದರೆ ನೋಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳಲು ಬೇರೆ ವ್ಯವಸ್ಥೆ ಮಾಡುವುದು ಅವಶ್ಯ. ಮಕ್ಕಳ ಜೀವಕ್ಕೆ ಅಪಾಯವಿರುವ ಅಂಶಗಳ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಗಮನಹರಿಸಿ. #ಶ್ರಮೇವ_ಜಯತೇ #ಕಾರ್ಮಿಕ_ಇಲಾಖೆ #KBOCWWB

In Karnataka, rigid caste & scholarship rules are leaving children from SC communities without benefits as govt. insist on the father’s TC, even when he is deceased or never formally educated @the_hindu @THBengaluru Read: thehindu.com/news/national/…

World Toilet Day | Dignity Begins with a Toilet This #WorldToiletDay, we’re spotlighting a basic right that millions of women in our cities still struggle to access — a safe, clean, and functional public toilet. ActionAid Association’s landmark study Public Toilets for Young Urban Women — conducted across six major Indian cities — reveals the everyday challenges women face: * Long queues and distant facilities * Lack of lighting and privacy * Unsafe spaces where harassment is common * No water, no bins, and no menstrual hygiene services * High user fees that burden low-income families For many young women, something as simple as using a toilet affects health, mobility, safety, education, and economic independence. This World Toilet Day, let’s reaffirm that a gender-just city is one where every woman can access a toilet safely, with dignity and without fear. We call on city authorities, communities, and all of us to invest in gender-responsive public toilets that truly meet women’s needs. Read the full report here: actionaidindia.org/wp-content/upl…

As Urban Action School 2025 comes to a close, smiles, laughter, and reflections filled the room. Participants received their certificates a small token of a big journey of learning, sharing, and reimagining our cities together. Thank you everyone who made this week meaningful for every conversation, every idea, and every step toward inclusive and just urban futures. #UrbanActionSchool2025 #ActionAid #UniversityOfKashmir #InclusiveCities #RightToTheCity #UrbanJustice #LearningTogether #CollectiveAction
