Puducherry faced a transport halt as trade unions protested new labour codes. Schools and markets closed, while demands focused on repealing labour laws and improving worker conditions.

Puducherry Struck by Nationwide Union Strike Over Labour Codes

A nationwide strike by trade unions halted private transport in Puducherry, protesting labour codes. Private schools and markets closed, while strictly monitored government attendance ensured essential services remained.

Union Strike Halts Transportation in Puducherry

Puducherry saw a complete halt of private transport during a strike by trade unions opposing new labour codes. Unions demand changes to labour policies and support farmers' needs.

On Wednesday, Puducherry witnessed a complete halt of privately operated buses, autos, and tempos as the nationwide strike, called by 10 trade unions, took effect. The unions are protesting the central government's policies, notably the four new labor codes.
In anticipation of the strike's impact, private schools in the region declared a holiday, according to a source. Shops, establishments, and markets for vegetables and fish also remained shuttered.
The unions have laid out several demands, including the repeal of the four labour codes, an end to contractualisation, a halt to the privatisation of public sector undertakings, and an increase in minimum wages to Rs 26,000 per month. They also support farmers' demands for a minimum support price for crops, based on the Swaminathan Commission's C2 plus 50% formula, and a loan waiver for farmers.
Heads of departments monitored attendance in government offices rigorously, with instructions to report details of any employee absences. Staff members who did make it to work primarily arrived on two-wheelers.
The territorial administration issued a stern warning stating that any unauthorized absence would be treated as a breach of conduct rules and result in a break in service. Major shopping areas in the town presented a deserted appearance as businesses closed in support of the strike.
Various trade unions actively participated by staging road blockades at multiple locations, leading to several arrests. Security was tight, with police deployed strategically.
Government buses operated in controlled batches to ensure movement, though there were no interruptions in power and water supplies.
The absence of autos and tempos meant a drop in patient visits to hospitals, noted a Health Department official. Nonetheless, sanitary workers associated with the Swachh Bharath Abhiyan continued their cleaning duties without disruption.

Puducherry mandates Tamil signboards for shops and govt invitations

Puducherry CM mandates shop names in Tamil and gov invitations bilingual. Sea erosion countermeasures planned with Rs 1,000 crore, expecting central aid.

Puducherry Chief Minister N Rangasamy on Tuesday that the government would issue circulars to all shops and establishments, directing them to display their names in Tamil.
Responding to a plea by Independent member G Nehru alias Kuppusamy, who raised the issue during Zero Hour in Assembly, Mr Rangasamy said, "Strict instructions will be issued through the circular, ensuring that shop owners display Tamil versions of their establishment names on signboards".
The independent member emphasised that there should be no leniency in the matter and urged the government to issue circulars with strict directions to honour the Tamil language.
The Chief Minister stated that the government had also decided that all invitations for government department functions should include a Tamil version. "This is out of love and respect for the Tamil language," he added.
Earlier, during Question Hour, PWD and Fisheries Minister K Lakshminarayanan informed the House that the government would place boulders along the entire 24-km stretch of the Puducherry coastline as part of measures to prevent sea erosion.
He noted that approximately Rs 1,000 crore would be required for the project, with funds from the Centre expected to support its implementation.&nbsp;

No more cotton candy in Puducherry! Government bans sale but there is a catch

Puducherry has banned the sale of cotton candy after the government announced that Rhodamine B is present in the candies being sold in the Union Territory. However, there is a catch!

If you are visiting Puducherry, you may not get to enjoy cotton candy as the government has banned the sale of the sweet street candy. The move was taken after it was found that a toxic substance was being used for its making. However, there is a catch and some sellers will be able to sell it. Read on to know more!
<h3>Puducherry bans sale of cotton candy</h3>
According to a report by India Today, an order issued by Puducherry Lieutenant Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan on Friday stated that the food safety officials tested and found the presence of a harmful chemical &lsquo;Rhodamine-B&rsquo; in cotton candy that was being sold in the beach town. Following this revelation, the government has announced that cotton candy will be banned.&nbsp;
"Those who have not got the quality certificate can immediately approach the food safety department and get it. After that, they can start selling cotton candy. The faster they get the food safety certification, the faster they can start their business. Until then, the sale of cotton candy is banned," the order read.
Puducherry Lieutenant Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan spoke about the incident and said, "It has been found that a toxic substance named &lsquo;Rhodamine B&rsquo; is being used in the cotton candies that are consumed by children and others in Puducherry. We have directed officials to inspect shops that are selling cotton candies, and they will be seized if the presence of this toxic substance is found in the cotton candies."
<h3>What is Rhodamine B, the harmful compound?</h3>
Rhodamine B, often abbreviated as RhB, is a chemical compound that functions as a dye in the textile industry. Rhodamine B is not approved for use as a food additive or coloring agent by food regulatory authorities. It is a water-soluble fluorescent dye, and it is known for its bright pink colouration when used in various applications.
Rhodamine B poses a risk to human health as it is toxic when ingested, causing oxidative stress on cells and tissues. When consumed, it can cause liver damage, tumors, and an increased risk of developing cancer.

13-yr-old fills pothole which injured his grandfather, put him in hospital with fracture | Puducherry

Class 8 student Masilamani filled the pothole which had put his grandfather in hospital with a fracture after he fell from his motorcycle.

Highlighting the apathy of authorities in India, a schoolboy in Puducherry took it upon himself to fill the pothole which injured his grandfather.
Class 8 student Masilamani filled the pothole which had put his grandfather in hospital with a fracture after he fell from his motorcycle. The 13-year-old collected sand, gravel, and other materials scattered around the village, mixed them with cement, and filled potholes in a road in Sendhanatham.
"My wish is that nobody should meet with accidents and suffer injuries as my grandfather has," he said while receiving a complimentary copy of a book from former Legislator Vayyapuri Manikandan in appreciation of the youngster's gesture.
The boy's neighbours congratulated him and presented him shawls. The Puducherry-Pathukannu route has been in a bad condition for the last seven years and nothing done to restore the road, said a resident of the village after meeting the boy.

<a href="https://www.editorji.com/story/kiran-bedi-removed-as-puducherry-s-lieutenant-governor-1613494679990" target="_blank" >Kiran Bedi</a> thanked the government for a "life time experience" as the Lieutenant-Governor of Puducherry, after she was removed from the top post on Tuesday night. Bedi's removal came amid a crisis in the ruling Congress government in the union territory.
The Congress government has slipped into a minority after four Congress leaders resigned from the Assembly since last month.
"Thank all those who were a part my journey as Lt Governor - The People of Puducherry and all the Public officials," the former IPS officer Bedi tweeted on Wednesday morning, along with a statement.
Telangana Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan has been asked to discharge functions of the Lieutenant-Governor of Puducherry, in addition to her own duties, until a new appointment is made.
