How did you get full score? The time for the last test case is 3.52s for your code, however the limit is 2.5s!
there is no need of set, bitset or map it can be done without these
check my sol: CodeChef: Practical coding for everyone
Java has a Multiplier of 2x… So, 2*2.5 = 5s
They have changed the Multiplier for python and now I think its 2.5x.(Not sure)
There is a fault in line-107.
Listen, you are filling 10^6 elements=0 for each ‘k’ , total time complexity :- O(10^6.k) , where k=10^6 , which is truly terrible,
keep track of places where you put a[i][j]=1, after you have solved it for a particular ‘k’ , make those particular indices (i,j) , i.e , a[i][j]=0; this will save lots of wasted time!

solved in nmlog(n*m) still getting tle in 1 subtask.
Can anyone tell why.
Using map, makes your actual complexity :- NM.log(n.m).log(n.m)
Remove maps.

Okay I will try to do it now. Thank you for looking into my code.
Can someone pls tell me why I’m getting a RE?
Check the output of your program after addding the debugging code at line 35.
Your program is incorrectly changing the row index i and the column index j.
The following is a slight update to your program which fixes the row index and column index problems, and correctly destroys and counts the destroyed cells in the grid.
Check the previous post.
@taran_1407 - thanks for the Editorial! Can you please remove the superfluous “L” from the thread Title? It’s really bugging me XD
“DESTCELLL - Editorial” 
Edit:
Phew - that’s better
Edit2:
May as well post my solution - it’s a little slow (but not TLE, of course :)), but readable, I hope CodeChef: Practical coding for everyone
Understood. Thanks a lot
Now that you pointed it out, I cant unsee it and its unnerving AF. Edited out, thanks!

Phew, that’s better - thanks!
Although I apparently earned “Regular” a couple of hours ago, so it turns out I could have done it myself XD

showing TLE error in one of the subtask. what’s wrong?
hello, can you tell me what’s wrong with this solution?
showing TLE for the last case.
Congratulations!
