New Delhi: Twitter users on Tuesday evening took a swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi as hashtag #15LakhAaGaye went trending on micro-blogging site, soon after India crossed 15-lakh COVID-19 cases mark.

The swipe was at Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s poll promise of depositing 15 lakh rupees in the bank accounts of every citizen of the country. Modi had made the promise in his election campaigning in 2014 and has been trolled over the years for not fulfilling it.

On Tuesday evening, India became only the third country to breach the 15 lakh cases of Coronavirus after the USA which tops the chart and Brazil which is on the second spot of the list of countries with the most cases.

The hashtag #15LakhAaGaye soon went trending and in no time was among the top three trending topics on Twitter India with over 20K tweets.

Here are some of the tweets from the campaign:

Hubballi: Forest minister Eshwar Khandre will hand over relocation cheques to 57 residents of Talewadi village in Belagavi on May 17, under the voluntary relocation programme.

Located within the Bhimgad Wildlife Sanctuary, Talewadi is the first of 13 villages earmarked for relocation from one of Karnataka’s densest forests — a crucial tiger corridor linking the Kali Tiger Reserve with tiger habitats in Goa and Maharashtra, Deccan Herald reported on Thursday.

The relocation will free up over 1,000 hectares of inviolate forest land for wildlife. For the villagers, the move promises access to better healthcare, education, and employment opportunities.

The residents of the village have been demanding relocation since 2013–14, citing challenges like poor connectivity and seasonal isolation during monsoons, when overflowing streams would cut them off from the mainland, added the report.

Khandre had visited the village in December 2024, assuring residents of support and timely action. The upcoming cheque disbursal marks the fulfillment of that promise, as the entire Talewadi village is being relocated outside the protected area.

“There was no force from the department for relocation. This is completely on our request,” said Bayaji Varak, a Talewadi resident and one of the beneficiaries of the relocation.
