  • Iran sets up security cameras to dissuade unveiled women

    Iran sets up security cameras to dissuade unveiled women

    The Iranian authorities are resorting to using cameras in public places to identify women who violate the country’s hijab law, local media reported.

    Obtrusive measures implemented in the aftermath of widespread anti-government protests last year combine the deployment of security cameras with the withholding of public services to violators, effectively replacing the morality police whose acts sparked months of turmoil.

    Iranian activists say the measures have failed to make much progress against anti-hijab resistance and may exacerbate economic constraints if they result in the closure of businesses.

    For decades, women who refused to wear the hijab were targeted by morality police who patrolled crowded public locations in vans. The vehicle’s male and female crew will be on the lookout for “un-Islamic dress and behaviour.”

    A report by Arab News quoted residents saying the vans have mainly gone from the streets of the cities where they used to patrol after the protests presented Iran’s religious leadership with their largest legitimacy problem since the 1979 Islamic revolution.

    “We are not scared of the regime’s threats. We want freedom … This path will continue until we regain our country from the clerics,” Maryam, a high school girl in Iran’s western Kermanshah city, said, according to the report.

    Protests in Iran

    Iran has been rocked by sweeping protests since September 16, over the death of a 22-year-old woman, Mahsa Amini, in the custody of Iran’s morality police.

    Her death has since ignited anger over several issues, including the restrictions imposed on personal freedoms and strict rules regarding women’s clothing, as well as the living and economic crisis that Iranians suffer from, not to mention the strict laws imposed by the regime and its political and religious composition in general.

    Trailer of Kunal Kemmu, Shweta Tripathi’s ‘Kanjoos Makhichoos’ unveiled

    [ad_1]

    Mumbai : The trailer of Kunal Kemmu and Shweta Tripathi’s upcoming comedy-drama ‘Kanjoos Makhichoos’ is out.

    ‘Kanjoos Makhichoos’ is the story of Jamnaprasad Pandey (Kunal Khemu) who is infamous in the entire town of Deoria, Uttar Pradesh as a miser. His parents, Gangaprasad Pandey (Piyush Mishra) and Saraswati Pandey (Alka Amin), wife Madhuri (Shweta Tripathi) and son Krish, are fed up with Jamna’s penny-pinching habits. Right from allocating one bucket per person for bathing to using one agarbatti throughout the month, Jamnaprasad never spares a single rupee unnecessarily. However, little does the family know that Jamna has been saving up to fulfill his father’s longstanding wish of going on a char-dhaam yatra.

    The film is written and directed by Vipul Mehta. Piyush Mishra, Alka Amin, Rajiv Gupta and the late Raju Srivastav are also a part of the film.

    Excited about the film, Kunal said, “Kanjoos Makhichoos is the kind of film that I would love to watch with my family because it is a complete mass entertainer. It has the perfect dose of drama, comedy, plot twists, a sweet message and a whole lot of entertainment. Also, I had a great time shooting with my co-actors and the entire crew because the energy on-set was great. I am sure that my fans and their families will enjoy this film.”

    Director Vipul Mehta also shared details about the film.

    “Kanjoos Makhichoos is a story of a middle-class, simple-minded Pandey family, belonging to Lucknow. The story has a very realistic approach with humane and relatable characters. The humour depicted in the film is also very natural. In this world of nuclear urban families, our film is focussing on the story of a joint, close-knitted family. The protagonist Jamnaprasad is a miser minded person and his miserly ways will steal the heart of the audience,” Mehta added.

    ‘Kanjoos Makhichoos’ will be out on Zee5 on March 24.

    SRINAGAR: Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman would unveil the Jammu & Kashmir Union Territory budget for the next fiscal in the Parliament on Monday. This would be the fourth budget of J&K UT in the Parliament after the reorganization of the erstwhile state of Jammu & Kashmir in August 2019.

The budget for 2019-20 was approved by the Governor-led State Administrative Council in December 2018 days before the erstwhile state came under President’s rule under Article 356 of the Constitution of India.

    In the run-up to the budget, top officials of J&K’s Finance department are stationed in New Delhi over the past three days.
