Krishnendu Das died after alleged public shaming by a shopkeeper. The tragic event in Paschim Medinipur highlights the impacts of public humiliation.

Tragic Death of Boy After Alleged Mistreatment

In Panskura, Krishnendu Das, 12, died after mistreatment. Accused of theft by a shopkeeper, he consumed pesticide. Despite ICU intervention, he passed away. The community mourns this heart-wrenching loss, prompting reflections on public shaming and empathy.

12-year-old Krishnendu Das died after consuming pesticide following an alleged theft accusation by a shopkeeper in Paschim Medinipur.

A 12-year-old boy died by allegedly consuming pesticide after he was accused of theft and asked to do sit-ups by a shopkeeper for "stealing" a packet of chips at Panskura in Paschim Medinipur district, a police officer said Friday.
Krishendu Das, a class 7 student, allegedly lifted a packet of chips from a shop at Gosaiber bazar in the Panskura area on Thursday evening after he failed to find the shopkeeper Subhankar Dikshit. He had called out "uncle I will buy chips" repeatedly without any response and finally left the shop allegedly with one packet of chips, the officer said quoting his grief-stricken mother.
He was allegedly chased by Dikshit who came back to the shop soon afterwards, slapped and asked to do sit-ups in full public view, the officer said quoting a complaint by the family.
The officer said a probe is underway Das' mother was summoned to the spot and she also scolded him and slapped him while the boy claimed he picked up the junk food packet lying in a heap before the shop and would have come to pay later.
He even offered to pay immediately apologising for lifting the packet without the consent of the shopowner but the shopowner accused him of lying.
A sulking Krishnendu then returned to his house with his mother, bolted the door of his room from inside and did not open the door.
After some time his mother along with neighbours broke open the door and found him frothing from the mouth with a half-empty pesticide bottle lying on his side, the officer said, adding that a note purportedly scribbled by him in Bengali was found lying on the side.
"Maa I am not a thief. I did not steal. Uncle (shopkeeper) was not around as I waited. While returning I spotted a kurkure packet lying on the road and picked it up. I love Kurkure," said the note.
Krishnendu further said, "These are my final words before leaving. Please excuse me for this act(consuming pesticide)".
He was taken to Tamluk Hospital and admitted to ICU but died soon afterwards.
The shopowner, also a civic volunteer associated with Bengal Police to assist in traffic management, initially claimed he did not assault the child.
But after the incident became known he could not be traced as a crowd assembled before his closed shop.

Weather-induced pest threats growing in UP mango orchards. Urgent action with traps and insecticides recommended as June harvest nears.

Pest Threats Loom Over UP Mangoes Post-Rains

Humidity from rains raises pest outbreak risk for Uttar Pradesh mangoes. Experts urge quick action with traps and sprays as June harvest approaches.

Weather-induced pest threats growing in UP mango orchards

Recent weather increases pest threat to UP mangoes. Experts prescribe traps and sprays. Immediate control is critical before June harvest.

The recent rainfall, hailstorm and gusty winds are likely to cause pest infestation in mango crops across parts of Uttar Pradesh, and farmers have been advised to take timely action, a top research body official said on Thursday.
Uttar Pradesh contributes one-third to the country's total mango production of 24 million tons. Dashehari, Langra, Chuasa, and Amrapali are key mango varieties grown in the state.
According to T Damodaran, Director of ICAR-Central Institute for Subtropical Horticulture, while the overall mango yield may not be impacted in Uttar Pradesh, some pockets of mango-growing regions may see pest attacks due to humid weather conditions following the rainfall and hailstorm.
"Fruit flies and thrips in mango crops can increase post rains due to humid conditions and moisture in the soil, which are favourable for these pests' development and activity," he said, adding that farmers need to manage these pests after rainfall.
Damodaran explained that if timely control of the first generation of fruit flies is not undertaken, their population will multiply in successive waves, coinciding with the ripening of the main mango crop. By the time the mangoes reach marketable maturity, the fly population can become alarmingly high.
To control pests, Damodaran suggested that 'methyl eugenol traps' are an effective and eco-friendly method for managing male fruit flies, especially in mango. These traps are available in the market and can be installed by hanging them at a height of 1.5 to 2 metres, preferably in semi-shaded areas inside the tree canopy.
Jaggery-based poison bait may be used to control adult fruit flies. About 20 grams of jaggery mixed with 100 parts water and 1 millilitre/litre of contact insecticide (such as Malathion 50 EC) may be used to prepare the bait. Farmers should do spot spraying of this poison bait mixture on tree trunks, lower branches, and foliage.
The spraying should be avoided during rain or in bright midday sun, and should be applied in the morning or late afternoon. This may be repeated every 7-10 days.
For the control of thrips, any of the insecticides such as Imidacloprid 17.8% SL (0.3 ml/L) or Thiamethoxam 25% WG (0.3 g/L) or Lambda cyhalothrin 5% EC (1 ml/L) or Tolfenpyrad 15% EC at 1.5 ml/L may be used.
For semiloopers and Dudua (paired fruit borer), Lambda cyhalothrin 5% EC (1 ml/L) may be sprayed by targeting the new flush and fruits, he added.
Bijnor, Saharanpur, and Lucknow are some of the key growing areas that received rainfall on Wednesday.
Mango fruit will be harvested in Uttar Pradesh from June.

Environmental Working Group's Dirty Dozen list for 2019 reveals the top 12 food items that contain the most amount of pesticide residue. According to the list, more than 90 percent of samples of strawberries, apples, cherries, spinach, nectarines and kale tested positive for residues of 2 or more pesticides, while a huge amount of kale contained residue from 18 pesticides. The annual report called 2019 Shopper's Guide To Pesticides in Produce stated that nearly 70% of the produce sold in the US comes with pesticide residue.
