In an effort to enhance the well-being of women and children, the Gujarat government has identified 13 talukas spanning across 10 districts for a transformative initiative under the ‘Aspirational Block Programme’ (ABP).
Heavy rains lashed Vadodara on Sunday evening
Vadodara: Heavy rains lashed the city on Sunday evening leaving several areas, especially in the old city, waterlogged. The weather was overcast since morning and it kept drizzling throughout the day. But the skies turned pitch dark by 5 pm and soon it began pouring.
Barodians, though, took advantage of the weather and went out for long drives away from the city. Many took to the Sindhrot bridge while others drove on the Halol Road to get an exquisite view of Pavagadh flanked by clouds. Thousands of visitors flocked to Pavagadh despite the administration putting a ban on private vehicles to the hill-top on weekends.

Vadodara: The Chhota Udepur police have busted a gang that committed 16 burglaries in the district in the past 3 years. The cops have also seized five pistols and live cartridges from the accused who are all residents of Chhota Udepur.
Police had received a tip-off about the whereabouts of an accused in a kidnapping case following which they kept vigil at the Piplej crossroads. When Vipul Rathwa arrived at the spot the cops nabbed him and seized a Mauser pistol from him. Vipul told the police that Sukhram Rathwa, a resident of Kawant taluka, had given him the weapon.
“Vipul also said that Sukhram had supplied another pistol to Krunal Rathwa, a resident of Raipur village. We reached Krunal’s house and seized a Mauser pistol from him. Vipul and Krunal admitted to having hidden two more Mauser pistols in Roddha village. We seized these weapons along with 10 live cartridges,” the police added.
Those from the community living in the hilly terrain and forest areas have their houses and farmlands at a distance from another person’s house and farmland
Surat: The proximity of houses and intermingling of people in small towns and big cities have shot up Covid-19 cases in major parts of the state. However, several tribal pockets in the tribal belt of the state are still protected from the alarming situation despite the lack of medical infrastructure that the cities have.
Dang located at the southern tip has the least number of cases in Gujarat at 524, as on Tuesday. Remote pockets in Narmada and Chhota Udepur districts too are not the contributors of the cases in the district. Administrators and social scientists say that several sub-communities within the tribal population have a certain lifestyle wherein they traditionally keep distance from each other.
