**Aadhaar Database Breached**

Tribune Chandigarh has done an investigation and put out a report detailing how the Aadhaar information of all 1 billion biometricked citizens can be accessed for just Rs 500. By paying an additional Rs 300, the vendor who is selling this data will also install a software on your PC which will allow you to take a print out of ANY Aadhaar card.

This is something that observers have been warning for a long time. It only takes one single breach of the UIDAI central server to compromise the data of all citizens of India. In it’s hurry to make Aadhaar mandatory and not ensuring safety, the Government has allowed shady vendors to exploit this data for their own gains.

All this while the Government has been maintaining that Aadhaar data is secure but, thanks to the investigation by Tribune, their claims now seem shaky. The Government's aggression for linking all services with Aadhaar is also now questionable. If we link our Bank Accounts and Mobile phones with Aadhaar, how safe are we?

RESIST!

Brief Report Of The State Convention of Right to Food and Work Campaign- West Bengal

The Right to Food and Work Campaign-West Bengal successfully completed it state convention on 6 th and 7 th April, 2017 at Badu, Barasat, West Bengal with about 300 delegate from 12 districts.   The conference opened with a reading of the basic statement that had stated the issues we would focus on – food, work and democracy. While the primary focus of the convention were the Rights to Food and Work, it was alarming to note that many of the speakers warned the delegates about the disquieting tendency of  governments and ruling political parties to suppress the democratic voice of the civil society. Shri Swapan Ganguly gave the West Bengal context where even the smallest demand for rights had often to face repression from ruling elite and a small group of very powerful political leaders . these leaders were using the State machinery without any qualms to supress any kind of dissent. The aim seemed to be to have a situation where only the ruler’s voice would be heard....
