That's led to mums and dads setting up a campaign group.</p><p>Also in today's podcast, there's major disruption to rail services in Kent</a> today as train drivers are out on strike.</p><p>Members of the ASLEF union have been in a dispute with employers over pay since July 2022. We've been getting reaction from Southeastern.</p><p>The man who wants to be the next Labour MP in Dover</a> says the government has left it too late to avoid chaos at the town's Port when new biometric checks come in.</p><p>The EU digital border controls are due to be introduced this Autumn and would see manual passport stamps replaced with facial imaging and fingerprinting.</p><p>Today marks four weeks since the start of controversial road works in Medway - and local bosses have told the podcast they're pleased with how traffic's coping.</p><p>The A228 in the Strood-bound direction from the Sans Pareil roundabout has been closed since March 11 and won't reopen until June so the entrance to a new school can be built.</p><p>Parking charges are going up in another part of Kent</a> as bosses look to create more revenue to avoid cutting services elsewhere.</p><p>Tonbridge and Malling councillors have voted in favour of introducing a fee at sites in Aylesford and Larkfield to bring them in line with the rest of the borough.</p><p>Residents in Stodmarsh say a stretch of road leading into their village could be one of the worst in Kent.</p><p>Drivers say years of neglect have left Stodmarsh Road full of potholes, with uneven surfaces and water retention. </p><p>In sport, Gillingham's hopes of reaching the league two play-offs</a> are all but over after they suffered another defeat at the weekend.</p><p>They were beaten 1-0 at Bradford City to drop to 11th in the table.

_sunflower-s01e08-hindi.webp "STORY: Mr. Raj Kapoor (Ashwin Kaushal), a resident of Sunflower housing society, is found dead in his apartment. When the police officers begin their investigations, majority of the residents and frequent visitors become suspects. Will the cops be able to crack this case?<br/><br/>REVIEW: Based in Mumbai, ‘Sunflower’ revolves around a murder that occurs in a middle-class housing society of the same name. When Mumbai police officers— Digendra (Ranvir Shorey) and Chetan Tambe (Girish Kulkarni) begin investigating the case, they suspect nearly everyone. However, Sonu Singh (Sunil Grover), a simpleton living in the same society, is drawn into the murder mystery and becomes the prime suspect. What happens next forms the crux of the story.<br/><br/>This engaging eight-part situational crime comedy is co-written by Vikas Bahl (writer-director of popular Bollywood films 'Queen' and 'Super30') and Chaitali Parmar. Along with Rahul Sengupta, Vikas wears the director's hat in this series, which marks his digital debut as well. Right from the start, the audience is aware of how one of the society's occupants (Raj Kapoor) died. But it’s the narrative—which revolves around the investigation proceedings and how everyone fits into the suspect category—that has been interestingly penned down with a dash of humour and plenty of thrills.<br/><br/>The screenplay is intriguing throughout, thanks to its quirky characters with odd tics and characteristics that define them, as well as the subplots that blend well into this character-driven plot. For instance, Sonu Singh, a 35-year-old eccentric salesperson with Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), keeps everything perfectly organised—from his foot mat to everything on his work table. Dilip Iyer (Ashish Vidyarthi) is another character who aspires to be the chairman of Sunflower Society in order to make it a happier place to live. Imagine he has a committee of members that interview everyone who wishes to stay in this society and have stringent rules against allowing unmarried people, divorcees, queers, and so on. Then there's Mr Ahuja (Mukul Chadda), a lecturer by profession with a smirky appearance and a courteous demeanour, and his ever-supportive wife (Radha Bhatt). Overall, the majority of the scenes revolve around a small group of society members, depicting everything from internal society politics to nosy neighbours.<br/><br/>While the first few episodes keep you hooked primarily due to the involvement of so many characters and their personal lives, as well as their link to the crime, there are some that drag on, especially those involving Sonu caring for Mr. Tondon (Sameer Kakkar). Ideally, the shorter episodes and tight editing (by Konark Saxena) would have aided the plot's progression while maintaining the show's pace. The background score composed by Sahej Bakshi and Vesh Shrivastava is interesting and complements the story well.<br/><br/>Sunil Grover plays Sonu Singh to perfection, never straying from his role as a lonely man with no social circle")
