Andhra Pradesh Rythu Sanghala Samanvya Samithi has decided to observe October 3 as black day across the State as a mark of protest against the Lakhimpur Kheri incident that happened in Uttar Pradesh in 2021 in which eight people lost their lives.
Addressing the media here on September 19 (Tuesday), Samithi State coordinator Vadde Sobhanadreeswara Rao said that the protests would be staged in all mandals and districts in the State.
The Samithi urged the farmers to take part in the protest and press for the demand that the Union government dismiss Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Ajay K. Mishra. The farmers should demand that the Central government take stringent action against the persons who were responsible for the killing of farmers who were staging a protest against the farm laws, he said.
Ashish Mishra, son of Mr. Ajay Mishra, allegedly was sitting in the SUV that ran into the crowd, killing eight people. Several protestors were blocking the road to prevent the passage of Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya who was on his way to village Banbirpur on that day, said Mr. Rao.
Mr. Rao said that though the farmers had been demanding action against the culprits for more than a year, the Union government was yet to respond.
Samkyukta Kisan Morcha and trade unions at the national level have also given a call for demonstrations and protests. In response to it, the black day is being observed in the State, he said.
Rythu Sangham senior leader Y. Kesava Rao said that the trade unions and farmers associations had decided to organise protests in front of the Raj Bhavan here on November 26, 27 and 28 against the State and Central government policies.

“Writing, in general, is a very solitary process,” says Yauvanika Chopra, Associate Director at The New India Foundation (NIF), which, earlier this year, announced the 12th edition of its NIF Book Fellowships for research and scholarship about Indian history after Independence. While authors, in general, are built for it, it can still get very lonely, says Chopra, pointing out that the fellowship’s community support is as valuable as the monetary benefits it offers. “There is a solid community of NIF fellows, trustees, language experts, jury members, all of whom are incredibly competent,” she says. “They really help make authors feel supported from manuscript to publication, so you never feel like you’re struggling through isolation.”

Supreme Court ruling on socialism, secularism
Several principals of government and private schools in Delhi on Tuesday said the Directorate of Education (DoE) circular from a day earlier, directing schools to conduct classes in ‘hybrid’ mode, had caused confusion regarding day-to-day operations as they did not know how many students would return to school from Wednesday and how would teachers instruct in two modes — online and in person — at once. The DoE circular on Monday had also stated that the option to “exercise online mode of education, wherever available, shall vest with the students and their guardians”. Several schoolteachers also expressed confusion regarding the DoE order. A government schoolteacher said he was unsure of how to cope with the resumption of physical classes, given that the order directing government offices to ensure that 50% of the employees work from home is still in place. On Monday, the Commission for Air Quality Management in the National Capital Region and Adjoining Areas (CAQM) had, on the orders of the Supreme Court, directed schools in Delhi-NCR to shift classes to the hybrid mode, following which the DoE had issued the circular. The court had urged the Centre’s pollution watchdog to consider restarting physical classes due to many students missing out on the mid-day meals and lacking the necessary means to attend classes online. The CAQM had, on November 20, asked schools in Delhi-NCR to shift to the online mode of teaching.
