 Hello everyone and welcome to NewsClick. This is Anushka. This is a new show that we are bringing to you called The Daily Roundup where you'll get a glimpse of some of the news stories that NewsClick has covered. So let's take a look at some of the top stories from the day. On Monday, the body of a police officer was left hanging out of his black SUV after he was attacked with stones and allegedly shot dead by a mob in Bullandshire. The trouble started after some villagers found carcasses of cows in a jungle. Angry villagers and members of various Hindu groups propped the animal remains in a tractor trolley to the Chigarwati Police Chalki and demanded action against the culprits. They blocked off the Bullandshire Garh highway and raised slogans against the police. The protests soon turned violent with protesters felting stones, injuring and killing one villager and Inspector Subod Kumar Singh. Inspector Subod Kumar Singh, the police officer who was killed, was also incidentally the first investigating officer in the Dhadri lynching case where Muhammad Akhlaq was killed over alleged beef consumption. He was taken off the case in November 2015. All the 18 accused in the Dhadri case, some of whom have links with the BJP, are out on bail as the hearing in the case is still on in the city courts. The recent Kisan Mukti march held in the capital did not see any representation or involvement from the BJP. However, one of the BJP ministers instead went on to criticise some of the farmers. Around 1200 farmers from Tamil Nadu participated in the march in Delhi. The group stripped themselves and covered their body parts with skulls and bones of their fellow farmers who had committed suicide in the past years. Purn Radhakrishnan, a senior BJP leader and union minister, went on to condemn the protests stating that the protesters had degraded the status of other farmers in Tamil Nadu. And he also went on to allege that the protesters had financial backing of some political parties from the state. The farmers of Tamil Nadu have suffered huge losses, owing to severe drought intensified by the Cyclone Gaja. Crops and cattle were lost and many farmers were displaced. Despite this, the BJP leader did not extend his support to the farmers of the state. A recent study from the Indian Institute of Management, that's the IIM M. The Bars, found that there were potentially 9 lakh preventable unplanned caesarean section deliveries out of the 70 lakh deliveries that happened in private hospitals in the year 2016. The study quotes, A natural birth in the private facility costs on an average Rs 10,814 while a C-section costs around Rs 23,978. The study also states that while C-section is an important surgical intervention during childbirth, performing it when it is not required can impose a huge burden on the mother and child, apart from being heavy on the pocket. With the announcement of Pradhan Mantri Janarogyar Yojana, that is to provide a cover of Rs 5 lakh for poor households to seek secondary and tertiary care in any government or empanel private hospital, it is important now more than ever to evaluate whether the private sector is really capable of being an effective partner in providing health services for the citizens of this country. Mumbai curves are up in arms over the soaring electricity bills over the past month. The power distribution, which was earlier under Anilambani-led reliance infrastructure or RINFRA, was recently taken over by the Adani Electricity Mumbai Limited or the AEML. Agitated consumers have taken to Twitter and social media to vent out their frustration. PML responded to the spike in prices by claiming that RINFRA had filed a tariff petition to MERC, Maharashtra Electricity Regulation Commission on December 22, 2017. When Adani took over on August 28, 2018, the tariff revision order was issued by MERC soon after. Hence, the authorities from Adani claim that this tariff increase has no correlation with Adani taking over and it is only a coincidence. While this may very well be a coincidence, it is still a fact that tariffs have doubled. Privatization of electricity has been pitched on the grounds of improving facilities by increasing competition, but the fact is that privatization is bound to only increase prices over a period of time.
