No hope for the new poor

Money is not a problem, and the government too intends to support the poor in their dire need. What’s the problem then? The government does not know who to help out!

Opinion: Govt shoots a messenger

She wasn’t handcuffed. Yet, she was indeed guarded by hordes of police personnel all the time: from custody to court. Following an overnight stay in custody, she was taken to court with a “guard of dishonour” and then hauled on to a prison van to jail on Tuesday.
