NEET UG dental counselling derails after Centre order
Bhopal: Just a day after it began, the first round of State Combined Counselling was cancelled by the Directorate of Medical Education (DME) here on Tuesday. The move came after a letter from the Union ministry of health and family welfare (MoHFW) dental education section, dated Aug 14, 2025 that ordered the cessation of admissions at Guru Govind Singh College of Dental Science and Research Centre, Burhanpur. The timing of the ministry's directive — issued four days before counselling began but apparently not acted upon until after allotments were made — has sparked criticism from students and education advocates. With 100 BDS seats now removed from the matrix, the entire first round of allotments has been scrapped. "In view of the above the allotment of first round declared on Aug 18 stands cancelled. Fresh allotment result after removing 100 BDS seats in Guru Govind Singh College of Dental Science and Research centre, Burhanpur will be declared on Aug 20 and admission process will restart from 3 PM on Wednesday. All candidates are advised to remain in touch with MPOnline portal and DME website for updates," DME official said. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).

Pollution-led respiratory illness in Delhi: 68,411 cases, 10,819 hospital admissions in 2024
New Delhi: Rising air pollution levels is surging acute respiratory infections (ARI) in the national capital, with 68,411 cases and 10,819 hospital admissions reported in 2024, the government said in the Parliament on Tuesday. In a written reply in the Rajya Sabha, Union Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare, Prataprao Jadhav, shared details of rising air pollution and respiratory diseases in urban areas. 'Air pollution is one of the triggering factors for respiratory ailments and associated diseases,' said Jadhav. The MoS noted that the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) conducts sentinel surveillance of air pollution-related illnesses through the network of more than 230 sentinel surveillance sites spanning across 30 states/UTs. Further, in August 2023, the government launched Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI) digital surveillance through the Integrated Health Information Portal (IHIP). He shared the ARI surveillance data of six sentinel sites of Delhi: AIIMS, Safdarjung Hospital, LHMC Group of Hospitals, RML Hospital, NITRD Hospital, and VPCI Hospital. It showed that in 2022, a total of 67,054 cases were reported to the emergency departments of these six sites, while 9,878 required hospital admission. In 2023, the cases jumped to 69,293, while hospital admissions dropped to 9,727, the Minister said. However, Jadhav noted that 'there is no conclusive data available in the country to establish direct correlation of death or disease exclusively due to air pollution'. 'Health effects of air pollution are a synergistic manifestation of factors, which include food habits, occupational habits, socio-economic status, medical history, immunity, heredity, etc., of individuals,' he explained. The Ministry of Health also issues health advisories on air pollution to all states every year to support them in preparedness for such health problems at all levels of health care facilities across the country. Health sector preparedness and response mechanisms on air pollution and health-related issues such as Air Quality Index (AQI) reports are also shared with states for preparedness and response mechanisms, the Minister said.

NEET UG admissions in West Bengal halted indefinitely
The Health Department of West Bengal has indefinitely suspended the admission process for MBBS and BDS courses, as announced in a notice by the West Bengal Medical Counselling Committee (WBMCC). The suspension, which comes just a day before the scheduled Round 1 seat allotment for NEET UG 2025, has left 11,178 students in a state of uncertainty. The official notice, dated August 18, states that the 'WB NEET UG Medical Dental 2025 Counseling/Admission process has been kept in abeyance till further order(s).' According to sources, the decision is a direct result of ongoing legal challenges related to the reservation list for Other Backward Classes (OBC). The suspension has drawn sharp criticism from various quarters. Shams Musafir, convener of the state medical unit of a student organization, called the decision 'absolutely undesirable', arguing that the delay will shorten the academic year for students, potentially impacting their studies. 'The reason has not been mentioned. Medical studies follow the same timeline nationally… We demand that the admission process of all students be started immediately after overcoming legal complications. Classes should also be started. Otherwise, there will be a bigger movement across the state in the future. We are already on our way to submit a deputation to the State,' he told The Indian Express. The development has also triggered a political uproar. Dr Subhas Sarkar, a former Union Minister of State, labeled the move as 'very dangerous for the student community' and accused the state government of having a 'malintention.' Union Minister of State for Education, Sukanta Majumdar, also took to X to criticize the suspension, questioning the lack of a proper reason and suggesting it might be an attempt to grant 'undue privilege to a particular group under the guise of reservation.' West Bengal Leader of Opposition in the Assembly and BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari stated that admissions for the first year haven't commenced even after three months, affecting a large number of students and their families already. 'The Joint Entrance Examination results haven't been declared either. This is a very serious issue affecting five lakh students and their parents,' he said.
