Mumbai

Rehana Shaikh, a 40-year-old Police Inspector and the mother of a baby girl was looking forward to celebrating her daughter’s birthday in style and she had saved money for the big day. Also, she had done financial planning for celebrating Eid.

One day while duty in Raigarh, she visited a school where most of the children appeared to be poor. Rehana found that most were without footwear.

Rehana Shaikh decided to be of help. She spent all the money earmarked for her daughter’s birthday on to meet the immediate needs of the Raigarh school children.

Not only that she decided to adopt all the 50 students, all from the population of tribal communities, and pay towards their education.

No wonder, her husband, Nasir Shaikh, also a policeman, have given her the nickname of Mother Teresa of Mumbai Police. Nasir is proud of his wife’s large-heartedness and always encourages her for caring for others.

Rehana Shaikh hails from the Raigad district of Maharashtra and is posted in Naigaon Arms Unit.

She is awaiting her promotion to the rank of sub-inspector soon.

Her efforts of serving others were recognized by the Mumbai Police when Commissioner Hemant Nagrale and Joint Commissioner of Police Nagra Patil presented her with a special medal and certificate in recognition of her going beyond her duties to help others.

Rehana also played an important role in helping the patients from her force during the Covid epidemic. She has helped at least 45 patients – policemen and members of their families by arranging beds, oxygen and plasma to the patients.

Rehana's father Abdul Nabi also retired as sub-inspector in the Mumbai Police.

This Mumbai Police officer is now known as Mother Teresa. Rehana was inducted into the Police Force under the sportspersons category. She made her Force proud when she won two gold medals for her Volleyball team in Sri Lanka in 2017.

Rehana says if Policemen can take care of the people policing will get easier.

She told the people of the country that if you can help the poor or needy, then do it, everything will become easier.

Mumbai In the last episode of 'Bigg Boss 15', contestants got a straightforward lesson from 'Bigg Boss' for not taking the game seriously. They were sent to the jungle and two eviction slots were opened. However, there is no end to the agony of 'Junglewasis' as they received yet another announcement. The contestants have been divided into pairs. Each pair has a chance to gain entry in the main house using the 'access ticket', but it comes at a cost. The pairs not only have to win the assigned task but also face a deduction of a certain amount from their prize money should they re-enter the main house. Moreover, the jungle will also start taking away the necessities required for survival. The contestants thus have no choice but to face the deductions and try to enter the main house. Jay Bahushali and Pratik Sehajpal, who have been rivals since day one, started working together as a team. They are on a mission to not let anybody win and Pratik starts ruini

Ehsan Fazili/Srinagar   In restoring and conserving a dilapidated, abandoned, and decaying Church, the Srinagar Municipal Corporation has not only revived a place of worship for the handful of local Christians but also preserved Valley’s architectural heritage and traditions of harmony. The 125-year-old Saint Luke’s Church in Dal Gate area, close to the Lake by that name, will have its first mass for the devout on Christmas after 30 years. The carol singing happened at its online inauguration by Lt Governor Manoj Sinha. The church was built in 1896 on the southwest slope of Shri Shankaracharya Hill on top of which is located the famous Shiva temple.   According to Athar Aamir Khan, Commissioner, Srinagar Municipality, a lot of credit for the restoration of this building goes to local artisans who reworked the Khatamband ceiling of this church, a unique feature of local art. Khatamband is a roof made of designer wooden tiles. The church building is otherwise a Gothic structure. An insid
