Raipur. In Chhattisgarh, the political turmoil between the government and opposition party BJP has intensified on the issue of number of impulse killings. Citing the report of the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), Chhattisgarh is number one nationwide in the case of transient impulse killings. In the year 2018, 4036 such cases have been registered. Jagdalpur’s Kodenar police station area alone has recorded about 125 such incidents, which is the highest in the state. At second position is Bilaspur, where 113 people lost their lives. The Naxalite areas of ​​Jagdalpur  are largely affected by such incidents.

Home minister raised questions on data

Home Minister Tamradhwaj Sahu has raised questions on figures. He said, “I do not think the figures that have come out are all correct. He further said that the figures of impulse murders have come from the era of BJP rule. In the first five months after the congress came into the power, we had already given the figures to the Assembly for the number of crimes committed. Chhattisgarh Police Force is working well, he added. “Twenty four hours of a day, the police force keeps the eye on criminals”, he further said.  

Usendi targeted the government

BJP state president Vikram Usendi said that since the government came, the number of crime has increased. Law and order has collapsed during the nine-month tenure of the Congress government. “The murders are taking place in the lockup, somewhere in which the accountability of the police administration is questioned”. He further said that incidents of Naxalism are also increasing in Bastar region, the reason behind this is the poor attitude of government towards law and order.

 Tea, what come to your mind when this word is said? An elixir? A source of freshness? A must have? A habit? Well whatever it is we all have our own reasons to drink tea.

The neighbouring states of Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Jharkhand neither produce tea nor have plantations there. Therefore, the tea plantation here will not only attract the people of Chhattisgarh but also tourists from other states.

Though certain necessary chemical fertilizers and pesticides are used for tea production here but at the same time, organic manure is being used in the tea plantations of Jashpur. The organic tea produce will not only bring out a healthy end product to drink but it also has a better taste and freshness.
