itting out at the Bharatiya Janata Party gov- Hernment at the Centre over the rising prices of LPG, former chief minister and Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav said that the rul-  ing party was not bothered by the travails of the common man as price of the cooking gas was hiked twice in 13 days. “In the BJP rule, it has become difficult for the common man to live with the government’s ‘back-breaking’ inflation. If the government can- not bring down prices then at least they should not hike prices. The government must roll back the increased price of LPG cylinder in public interest,” the SP chief said in a statement released on Thursday. “People in power are openly supporting ille- gal mining in UP.

on of former cabinet Sminister Gayatri Prasad Prajapati was arrested by a Gomti Nagar Vistar police team in Lucknow on Thursday. Anil Prajapati was named in a case of fraud, misap- propriation of land and criminal conspiracy on September 17. The FIR was lodged by Brij Bhawan Dubey, who is also a former director of a company run by the former minister. Dubey had also named Gayatri Prajapati in the case. He had alleged that Gayatri, along with his son Anil and aides, forced him to get a land (current cost approx Rs 2.5 crore) registered in the name of a woman. Dubey had stat- ed that she was the same woman who had accused the minister of gangrape in 2017. Dubey further alleged that the same woman turned hostile and was threatening him to take his name in her statement to be recorded in another rape case registered last year in Gautampalli police station, while the aides of Prajapati were also threatening to kidnap his son. Prajapati is already lodged in Lucknow jail. Inspector Akhilesh Pandey said Anil was arrested from Hazratganj following a tip-off by an informer. Meanwhile, a joint team of Gomti Nagar Vistar police and crime branch nabbed a hardened crim- inal bearing a cash reward of Rs 25,000 during an encounter late on Wednesday night. He suffered firearm injuries in the exchange of fire with the police. The accused was identified as Ram Sanehi Loniya (26) of Sitapur. He has served jail term in a case of dacoity and under Gangster Act. The team that carried out the operation was headed by inspec- tor Akhilesh Pandey (Gomti Nagar Vistar) and inspector Ajay Prakash Tripathi (crime branch). The police said they got a lead about the move- ment of the miscreant during constant surveillance of criminals. Later, the crime branch team shared the inputs with the Gomti Nagar Vistar police and both the teams left for the operation. The accused was surrounded at a place and asked to surrender, but he opened fire. The cops returned fire and over- powered the accused, who suffered bullet injuries in a leg.  A middle-aged man was accused of raping a mentally unsound girl in Mohanlalganj on Wednesday. As per reports, the accused, identified as Angnu of the locality, raped the girl who was all alone in her house. He later threatened to kill her parents if she approached police. On Wednesday night, the girl shared her ordeal with her parents, who lodged a case in this connection on Thursday.    An 18-year-old boy committed suicide at his house in Talkatora early morning on Thursday. Reports said the teen, identified as Rajesh of B-Block in the area, was found hanging from a wooden pole with a dupatta tied around his neck. Father Jamuna Kanaujia spotted Rajesh hanging around 4:30 am and informed police. <    % Lucknow (PNS): Cold winds increased the chill in the state capital on Thursday. Lucknow recorded the minimum temperature at 7.8 degree Celsius while the maximum temperature at 20.6 degree Celsius. MeT director JP Gupta said the chill was because of cold winds coming from the north-west- ern region where hills witnessed a snowfall. “The cold weather conditions will continue till the west- ern disturbance brings relief,” he said. In the state, the lowest minimum temperature (3.5 degree Celsius) was recorded in Meerut. The forecast for Lucknow is shallow fog in the morning and clear sky thereafter. The maximum and minimum temperature is expected to be around 22 degree Celsius and 7 degree Celsius, respectively. Across UP, the weather is most likely to be dry with shallow to moderate fog likely at isolated places over the state in the morning. There is a warning for cold wave conditions at isolated places over east- er UP and severe cold wave conditions at few places over western UP. The cold day conditions are expect- ed at isolated places over western UP.     !  "#$%&%&

SMARTER USE OF FOOD WASTE Apart from this, food waste is an increasing and alarming concern at ends, including the food system and the climate. Studies have shown that between 30 to 40 per cent of the food supply gets wasted on a yearly basis. The impact further becomes graver when we look at the water, energy, and land resources which were utilised for producing food that never even gets consumed. The awareness of food waste is increasing and has already started to take roots in India. As a result, many manufacturers and producers are :    now making an effort to use ingredi- ents that would normally be wasted.
