In the narrow lanes of Old Delhi, brothers Nadeem Shehzad and Mohammad Saud have spent more than two decades performing a task few would dare to attempt: rescuing thousands of birds — mostly black kites — from life-threatening injuries caused by kite-flying strings. Their work began in the late 1990s, when a wounded kite fell at their feet in Chawri Bazaar. Lacking any veterinary care for birds of prey, they taught themselves to treat the injuries. What started as an improvised effort on their rooftop has grown into Wildlife Rescue, a small but determined non-profit rehabilitation centre. The injuries they…
अगस्त 2024 में शुरू किए गए राष्ट्रीय मेडिकल रजिस्टर (एनएमआर) का उद्देश्य देश के सभी एलोपैथिक डॉक्टरों का एक केंद्रीकृत और पारदर्शी डिजिटल डेटाबेस तैयार करना था। लेकिन लॉन्च के लगभग एक साल बाद, इसके आंकड़े चौंकाने वाले हैं — 13.9 लाख पंजीकृत एलोपैथिक डॉक्टरों में से केवल 996 का नाम ही इसमें दर्ज है। सूचना के अधिकार (RTI) के तहत प्राप्त आधिकारिक आंकड़ों के अनुसार, राष्ट्रीय चिकित्सा आयोग (NMC) को अब तक 11,200 आवेदन प्राप्त हुए हैं, लेकिन इनमें से 91 प्रतिशत से अधिक को मंजूरी नहीं मिल पाई है। स्वास्थ्य नीति विशेषज्ञों का कहना है कि यह अंतर…
Elon Musk, never one to shy from provocation, has declared that artificial intelligence “is already better than most doctors,” warning that automation will eventually surpass all human jobs — “including mine.” The statement, posted on X, came in response to the story of a cancer survivor who credited ChatGPT with helping her reassess her treatment plan. For Musk, the anecdote was proof that AI is no longer just a futuristic tool but a present-day competitor to human expertise. His remark has rattled corners of the medical community already grappling with patients who arrive armed with AI-generated diagnoses, treatment suggestions and…
In one of its largest transport enforcement drives in recent years, the Uttar Pradesh government has cancelled more than 8,300 vehicle permits and suspended hundreds of others, citing safety violations, environmental concerns and regulatory non-compliance. The State Transport Authority (STA), which met on August 7, said 8,322 permits were revoked and another 738 suspended for 45 days. Officials described the action as a “zero-tolerance” response to operators who had either allowed their permits to lapse, breached eligibility conditions, or ignored statutory requirements. Three permits linked to fatal accidents — each claiming at least four lives — were also cancelled. Operators…
In an unprecedented move to protect public health, authorities in Telangana have launched a large-scale crackdown on unqualified medical practitioners, filing nearly 500 police cases and shuttering scores of illegal clinics across the state. The operation, coordinated by the Telangana Medical Council and local police, stretched from the capital’s bustling neighborhoods to smaller districts such as Rangareddy, Siddipet and Nalgonda. Officials conducted surprise inspections, seizing prescription drugs and dismantling makeshift treatment centers run by individuals with no formal medical training. In Rangareddy district alone, seven illegal clinics were closed in a single mandal. In Siddipet, police booked several people —…
कई राज्यों में फैले एक गुप्त अभियान में, दिल्ली पुलिस की क्राइम ब्रांच ने एक संगठित नेटवर्क का भंडाफोड़ किया, जिस पर भरोसेमंद ब्रांडों के नाम पर नकली जीवनरक्षक दवाएं बाजार में बेचने का आरोप है। गुप्त सूचना के आधार पर की गई छापेमारी में पुलिस ने 1.10 लाख से अधिक नकली टैबलेट और कैप्सूल जब्त किए, साथ ही बड़ी मात्रा में ढीली गोलियां और पाउडर भी बरामद किया। दो अवैध फैक्ट्रियां — एक हरियाणा के जींद और दूसरी हिमाचल प्रदेश के बद्दी में — सील कर दी गईं, जहां औद्योगिक पैमाने पर दवाओं का उत्पादन हो रहा था। इस…
