Nana Patekar urges farmers to take charge, advises against relying on government
Nashik (Maharashtra): Renowned actor Nana Patekar, known for his forthright expressions, delivered a powerful message to farmers during a "Shetkari Sammelan" in Nashik on Tuesday.
While addressing the gathering, Patekar urged farmers not to wait for favorable times but to proactively shape a brighter future through their resilience and determination. The actor, along with fellow actor Makarand Anaspure, is associated with the Naam Foundation, an organization aiding farmers in drought-prone regions of Maharashtra.
Patekar questioned the current state of affairs where gold prices rise while essential commodities like rice do not experience a similar increase. He emphasized the vital role farmers play in providing sustenance for the entire nation but expressed disappointment in the government's apparent lack of commitment to addressing their concerns. Patekar discouraged farmers from seeking redressal from a government that, in his view, neglects their needs.
In a satirical tone directed at political parties, Patekar pondered the example being set for the younger generation and criticized their actions. He remarked on his own inability to enter politics due to his outspoken nature.
Further, Patekar issued a plea to farmers, urging them not to resort to suicide. Instead, he advocated for collective efforts to bring about positive change in the current agricultural scenario.

UP: Teen girl found hanging from tree; locals claim rape, murder
Pratapgarh (UP) (PTI): The body of a 19-year-old woman was found hanging from a tree in a village under the Manikpur police station area here on Sunday morning, police said.
According to the police, the woman had gone to sleep after dinner on Saturday night but was found hanging in an orchard nearly 400 metres away from her home the following morning.
Additional Superintendent of Police (West), Brijnandan Rai, stated that the circumstances suggest foul play.
"The victim's slippers and undergarments were recovered 50 metres away from the spot where the body was found. There are visible injury marks on her body," Rai said.
While locals have alleged that the woman was murdered after being raped, the ASP said that it is "prima facie a case of murder."
"Based on the complaint filed by the victim's brother, a case of murder has been registered against unidentified persons. The body has been sent for a post-mortem examination," the officer added.
Police further clarified that if the medical report confirms sexual assault, relevant sections will be added to the FIR.
Forensic experts and police teams have collected evidence from the spot and are investigating the matter from all angles.
