Mumbai: Over 30 Buddhist families in Rohi Pimpalgaon village in Modkhed taluka of Nanded district faced social boycott for close to a week for raising slogans in praise of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar in the village.
Over 400 Maratha families had allegedly, in a unanimous manner, denied the Dalit community access to the village local bazaar, grocery shops, chemists’ and milk cooperative for praising Ambedkar during the annual Ambedkar Jayanti celebration held on April 25. The situation was brought under control following pressure built on the district administration by several anti-caste organisations.

AURANGABAD: A 35-year-old woman committed suicide by jumping into the Sonegaon lake in Nanded district along with her three-year-old son in the wee hours of Wednesday, a day after her husband’s death due to Covid-19.
Preliminary investigation has found that the woman, Padma Gandam, was shaken after her husband, Shankar, died at a government hospital in Loha tehsil, about 296km from here, and ended her life along with the child.
Superintendent of police Pramodkumar Shewale told TOI that the two bodies were taken out from the lake soon after receiving information from villagers.
