Prayagraj: Life had been turbulent for seven-year-old Munnu. Born with special needs, he was abandoned by his parents when he was hardly six days old. Since then, he has been staying in government-run shelter homes in search for an unconditional love and care.
Now, Munnu has finally found a saviour in Denmark’s Carina Lykke Rasmussen, who came all the way to the Sangam city to formally adopt him.
Munnu is set to fly to Denmark with his new mother Rasmussen and grandmother Hedda, who will take him to his new home in Esbjerg, a picturesque seaport town.

LUCKNOW: UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Friday said on the floor of UP Assembly that the opposition was inciting farmers to protest against the three farm laws and fuelling anarchy just to serve its petty political interest. Speaking on the second day of the budget session of UP assembly, Yogi insisted that the three farm laws were in the series of steps taken by government for the welfare of farmers.
“The provision to allow farmers the freedom to sell their produce other than mandi is hurting the middlemen and their political masters,” he said, adding that it is not the farmers but the middlemen trying to rake up the protest. “They are bothered since the money is reaching the accounts of farmers directly,” he said.
