Starvation deaths in Afghanistan

Hunger cries are rising in Afghanistan. Children's hunger pangs are alarming. Employment opportunities for the people or the food crisis that has struck are causing concern. Three weeks ago, eight children from the same family in western Kabul starved to death. The mother of 8 children died of heart disease while the father went to bed with a tumor‌ problem. In the background, children were begging in Kabul. There was a food crisis and they lost their nanny. A local, Mohammed Ali Bamiyani, told the media that all the eight children had starved to death in the situation. The heartbreaking incident came to the world’s attention.


In the current situation where employment opportunities are scarce, Afghans are buying and storing food grains with the proceeds from the sale of a portion of their land. Landless people are going to work as laborers including children. In Afghanistan, meanwhile, food prices such as oils, wheat, and rice rose by about 55 percent. According to the World Food Program (WFP), 2.3 crore people out of a population of 3.9 crores in Afghanistan are currently undernourished. The number of people in the food crisis was 1.4 crore before the Taliban took office two months ago, but now it has risen to 2.3 crores, according to the WFP.


As per WFP, at least 22.8 million Afghans, more than half the country's population, are “marching to starvation” due to the ensuing political turmoil and the collapse of the country's economy. The United Nations has warned that Afghanistan faces a major humanitarian crisis, including mass starvation if aid is not provided soon. On the other side, groups in the Taliban are still struggling within the government. The main aim of Afghans is how to release frozen $9.4 billion from the Western government. The Taliban-led government launched a program that it says will help combat hunger by offering thousands of people wheat in exchange for labor. This is another harsh step to persecute poor Afghans without paying money. The world has empathy towards Afghans after the Taliban took over Afghanistan.

Producers demand 18 crores for Ceded for Pavan and Trivikram film

Director Rajamouli showed the path to all other producers on how to sell product (movie) in different ways across the word. Telugu Cinema has vertically divided in two ways Before and after Bahubali. Bahubali proves that there were no boundaries in selling the movie. Other producers who are doing with star heros like Pavan, Mahesh and Jr. NTR will follow Rajamouli in this regard. But there is slight difference with Bahubali and other heros films. Unfortunately, producers and distributors fail to notice the gap. Bahubali is universal movie which was apt to all sections in the world. That is the reason for getting huge collections across the world. We didn't expect the same situation for Prabas's next movie even though his popularity increased with Bahubali. Radha Krishna who produced movies like Julayi and A. AA.. will plan to produce next film with Pavan and Trivikram. Movie was not yet started but distributors rushed toward producer for getting area-wise rights.Obviously, ...
