‘Residents uncomfortable when maids everywhere’: B'luru Housing Society slammed for discrimination
Bengaluru: A notice by the Residents’ Welfare Association of society in Bengaluru has asked domestic workers not to use common areas including “parks, amphitheatre, gazebos” while waiting during their break time. The circular was shared by Vibin Babuurajan, a Twitter user on Wednesday, which has prompted widespread criticism on the bizarre rules set by the housing society.
The circular noted that “maids” should confine themselves to waiting areas instead of utilising the common areas. It added that the security is not able to monitor all the common areas. Furthermore, it stated the reason being that residents may feel uncomfortable when surrounded by helpers everywhere.
Shockingly, the circular made blatant class discrimination by arguing that most of the residents have stopped sitting on sofas at the building reception since “cooks, carpenters, plumbers” use it too.
This circular has sparked outrage among netizens against these absurd rules. A user expressed that this housing society needs to be schooled on discrimination and further requested the name to be shared so that people can avoid it. "The same maid roaming in your house, cooking for you, cleaning for you is ok. But seeing them around you in the park is troublesome?
Pathetic,” commented another user.

11 more bodies retrieved from Arunachal accident site
Itanagar (PTI): Eleven more bodies were retrieved on Saturday from the deep gorge in Arunachal Pradesh's Anjaw district, where a mini-truck on which 22 labourers from Assam were travelling fell, an official said.
With this, 17 bodies have been recovered from the accident site, Anjaw's deputy commissioner Milo Kojin said.
He said three more bodies will be brought out on Sunday.
The operation, being conducted by a joint team of the NDRF and Army, resumed at 6 am.

"The retrieval process was extremely difficult because of the treacherous terrain, and the gorge is very deep," Kojin said.
The operation was suspended around 4 pm due to low visibility and will be resumed on Sunday morning, he said.
"One person is still missing, and a search operation will be carried out tomorrow," he added.
The accident happened on the evening of December 8, around 40 km from Hayuliang towards Chaglagam in the district. On the evening of December 10, one survivor managed to climb out of the gorge and reach a nearby Border Roads Task Force (BRTF) labour camp, following which the authorities were alerted.
Six bodies were recovered from the gorge on Friday and handed over to their families on Saturday.
