State government takes away TMC ex-MLA's security
The Statesman|November 27, 2024
The state government withdrew the security for Dr Santanu Sen, former Rajya Sabha MP, hardly four days after Dr Sudipto Roy, Trinamul Congress MLA and the president of the West Bengal Medical Council (WBMC), wrote to Narayan Swaroop Nigam, principal secretary in charge of health department, requesting that the government nominate a new member to the WBMC to replace Dr Sen.

Dr Sen used to get security with deployment of two armed police constables, round-the-clock, since he was made MP in 2018. The party didn't nominate him again in the RS after his term ended during April this year. But the government had been providing him the security though he was not the MP.

He would no more get the security cover arranged by the state government with effect from Thursday. He refused to comment when The Statesman contacted him on Tuesday.

The Toxic Workplace

The global meltdown of 2007-08 showed a mirror to the lifestyle of corporate executives; Gurgaon (now Gurugram) and Bangalore (now Bengaluru) witnessed a large number of defaults on credit cards and housing loans of corporate executives, indicating that corporate employees were living on the edges, their flashy lifestyle mostly funded by loans and credit cards. Even today, with their tight schedules, corporate executives have to live near their workplaces, which are mostly in the toniest neighbourhoods, with exorbitantly high rents. Income-tax, and money required to keep up with the Joneses, takes care of the rest of the employee's salary, leaving him with no savings
