Dalit labour activist Nodeep Kaur was released from prison on Friday after she was granted bail by the Punjab and Haryana High Court.&nbsp;Kaur was&nbsp;arrested in January by the Haryana Police under charges of extortion and attempt to murder.&nbsp;
The 23-year-old labourer and trade union activist was in jail since January 12. Her sister had also alleged&nbsp;that Nodeep&nbsp;was beaten and sexually assaulted in custody.&nbsp;
In her petition, Kaur, a member of the Mazdoor Adhikar Sangathan, claimed she was &ldquo;targeted and falsely implicated&rdquo; in the case as she was successful in generating massive support for the ongoing farmer movement against the Centre&rsquo;s three new farm laws.
The court had earlier asked the&nbsp;Haryana&nbsp;govt&nbsp;to explain the complaint filed against&nbsp;Kaur. Her case gained international focus after US vice president Kamala Harris' niece Meena Harris tweeted about it.

The battle for Bengal is quite the political potboiler, and stirring in some pop-culture references doesn't harm.
The BJP has been conducting a massive campaign on Didi's turf in Bengal over the&nbsp;last couple of weeks, with senior leaders from Amit Shah to JP Nadda to Prime Minister Narendra Modi&nbsp;reaching out to voters ahead of the assembly polls.
At one such election rally in West Bengal&rsquo;s Anandapuri, BJP president Jagat Prakash Nadda dropped a catchphrase from the recent 'Pawri' trend to announce the party&rsquo;s development plan for the state.
However, many pointed out that it was the Trinamool&nbsp;Congress who jumped onto the 'Pawri' bandwagon first.

Covid-19 vaccination sessions scheduled on Saturday and Sunday, the 27th and 28th of February, won't be held anywhere in the country as the Co-Win app is getting an upgrade. The app is being upgraded in order to link the first phase of vaccination into the second phase starting from March 1. As of now, there is no option for self-registration on the app, as inoculation of healthcare staff and other frontline workers is being done on the basis of the database procured from concerned govt departments. The government also has the data of senior citizens based on electoral rolls. But for people with co-morbidities, who are also included in this phase starting from Monday, the option of self-registration had to be included. The self-registration option will be available from March 1 to enable senior citizens and people above 45 years of age with co-morbidities to register themselves on the app.

Some of the&nbsp;internal indicators&nbsp;are also not very encouraging&nbsp;for example spending from the govt&nbsp;as well private spending have shown a contraction on a&nbsp;year on year&nbsp;basis.&nbsp;&nbsp;
It is&nbsp;definitely&nbsp;too&nbsp;early to celebrate the recovery as International ratings agency Moody&rsquo;s warns that the risk to growth forecast for India is tilted to the downside. Even JPMorgan&nbsp;has raised an alarm that&nbsp;&nbsp;a&nbsp;consumer credit crisis could derail India&rsquo;s economic recovery .

Tamil Nadu CM E Palaniswami on Friday declared a gold loan waiver just hours before the announcement of state election dates.

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister E Palaniswami on Friday declared a gold loan waiver just hours before the announcement of state election dates, which will bring a model code of conduct into place.
Gold loans against up to six sovereigns given by cooperative banks to farmers and the poor will be waived, the Tamil Nadu government announced.
Justifying the move, Palaniswami said the economy was yet to recover from the Covid-19 pandemic and this would help the poor redeem the gold they had pledged during the lockdown.
The gold loan schemes with low-interest rates were offered by the Tamil Nadu State Apex Co-operative bank as part of Covid relief measures. The interest rate has been fixed at 6% a year. In this, people could get ₹25,000 to ₹1,00,000 and the loan has to be returned in three months.

Quoting Chowdhury, the report said, he has informed about the poor leadership at the district level to Mamata Banerjee as well. Chowdhury reportedly said he is a &ldquo;bhumiputra&rdquo; of Burdwan and cannot be a mute spectator if the district lags behind on the path of development due to poor leadership.
