Centre suspends chief of institute that prepares family health survey

International Institute for Population Sciences Director KS James had reportedly been asked to quit as the government had reservations about some data sets.

The Wire reported that some of the findings of the National Family Health Survey-5 were at odds with claims made by the Narendra Modi government. The survey has punched holes in the prime minister’s claims of the country being open defecation free.

I don't know about the rest of the country, but open defecation is very much a reality in Mumbai. It's so sad to see Mumbai's beaches being used as lavatories. #opendefecation #ModiHaitoMumkinHai

#delhipolice denying access to toilets - won't provide toilets and wont let #farmers access toilets in local #Gurudwara. #Burari sounds more like jail sans toilets.
Is #narendramodi's #India open defecation free?

Farmers Stay Back On Highways, Few Takers For Protest Site In Delhi

A large number of farmers are still camping around the Delhi border despite a ground being allocated to them in the capital's outskirts to hold their protest against the farm laws that they want repealed. The protesters - who have braved tear gas, water cannons and lathi-charge during their agitation - have said they have enough essentials to continue their protests for up to six months. At least three highways that lead to Delhi remain blocked amid the protests.
