ONGC to enhance cancer care in AP with Rs 48 crore CSR funding
1 2 3 Vijayawada: In a significant boost to the state's public health infrastructure, the public sector giant Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) has committed Rs 48 crore from its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funds to procure advanced radiation machines for government hospitals. The decision came after discussions between TDP Rajya Sabha member Sana Satish and Union petroleum and natural gas minister Hardeep Singh Puri in New Delhi. Minister of state for rural development and communications Dr Pemmasani Chandrasekhar from Andhra Pradesh was also present during the talks. "It is a major initiative by the Centre, particularly ONGC, to support and strengthen cancer care institutions in Andhra Pradesh. ONGC will provide three advanced radiation machines, each valued at approximately Rs 16 crore, totaling around Rs 48 crore," said Sana Satish. These state-of-the-art machines will soon be installed in government hospitals in Kakinada, Guntur, and Kadapa districts. The equipment is expected to play a vital role in early cancer detection and radiation therapy. "This is not just technical assistance—it is a beacon of hope for saving lives. The cooperation of Union ministers strengthens our fight against cancer. We express our heartfelt gratitude to the ONGC management and Union ministers Hardeep Singh Puri and Dr. Pemmasani Chandrasekhar," Satish told TOI.

Don't agree LoP should go with CM to seek funds from Centre: HP Gov
Himachal Pradesh Governor Shiv Pratap Shukla Thursday said that he doesn't agree with Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu that Leader of Opposition (LoP) Jai Ram Thakur should go along with the CM to get aid from the central government in Delhi. 'Then why did CM Sukhu not take LoP with him when he went to meet senior Union ministers, including Home Minister Amit Shah, in Delhi last week?' Shukla said while interacting with the media. 'I don't agree with such statements that LoP should go with government leadership to seek assistance from the central government. Central government always gives financial assistance to Himachal Pradesh and other states whenever need arises. There are ministers, including Deputy Chief Minister, PWD and Urban Development Minister and others who said that whenever required, they bring assistance from the Centre. Then what is the point in saying that the Centre is not giving assistance to Himachal Pradesh?' On the prevailing drug issue in the state, Shukla said, 'The kind of response which is expected from the state government and its representatives, especially MLAs, against the drug menace is lacking on the ground. The anti-drug campaigns, which are being witnessed on the ground, are the results of efforts of people, gram panchayats and a push from the Governor House on the ground.' He also expressed dissatisfaction over the lack of government rehabilitation centres. 'There is only one Red Cross-run drug rehabilitation centre in Kullu. We have been hearing about identification of land for setting up one in Sirmaur but nothing is moving on the ground. This shows the seriousness of the government,' he said. 'The state government should have moved forward to open rehab centres. For a long time, they have been saying that land has been identified and funds have been allocated, but nothing concrete has been done. If this situation continues, Himachal could turn into 'Udta Himachal,' and our generations will suffer.' 'The Government of India has decided to include the efforts being made in Himachal Pradesh against drug abuse in its national programmes. This is both the inspiration of the Prime Minister and my own resolve to make Himachal drug-free.' The Governor said that Union Minister Mansukh Mandaviya had announced that these initiatives would be adopted nationwide. 'A proposal called 'Kashi Sankalp' has been passed, which will now go across the country, and I am pleased that the programmes initiated by the Governor of Himachal Pradesh are part of this,' Shukla noted. 'Awareness is rising. Parents who earlier ignored their children's drug use are now proactive. Panchayats are informing police about suppliers, and the number of NDPS (Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances) cases has increased significantly.' According to official data, NDPS cases in the state have increased from 500 in 2012 to over 2,200 in 2023. Citing a survey of 1,150 inmates, Shukla said that drug abuse is highest among individuals aged 15–30. 'Awareness is the key to reducing demand. If Punjab's government is taking steps, Himachal must act seriously,' he said. The Governor urged all political leaders to unite against drug abuse. 'I have written to Deputy Chief Minister Mukesh Agnihotri, Leader of Opposition Jai Ram Thakur, Education Minister Rohit Thakur, and other ministers, requesting them to raise awareness and take action at all levels,' he said. Shukla said that he will take up the matter of rave parties in Kullu-Manali with Director General of Police (DGP) Ashok Tewari. He said this was recently brought to his notice. Many NGOs and green activists filed a PIL in the Himachal Pradesh High Court, seeking a crackdown on the rave parties, especially held in the dense forest areas of Kullu district. Unpleasant moments were witnessed when a personnel of local Criminal Investigation Department (CID) was found sitting among media persons when Governor Shiv Pratap Shukla was interacting with the media at Raj Bhavan. The security staff of the Raj Bhavan called him outside the hall where the interaction was going on and reprimanded him.

'Misleading': Centre rejects Swiss firm's pollution rankings; cites limited government data usage by report
NEW DELHI: The central government on Thursday rejected the Swiss firm's IQAir report, that had ranked India the fifth most polluted country in the world, citing limited usage of government data in the survey. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now "However, it must be noted that only 38 per cent of the data sources used in the report are from government agencies. The remaining 62 per cent are from other agencies and include data generated using low-cost sensors," Union minister of state for environment Kirti Vardhan Singh said responding to a question by Congress MP Pramod Tiwari in the Rajya Sabha. "The data from a variety of monitors and sources, especially low-cost sensors, may have inaccuracies. Moreover, the report uses population-weighted averages based on data from urban monitoring stations, which may not represent the true national average," the minister said. "In view of these limitations and uncertainties in the data, the ranking of cities and countries may not portray the true picture and could be misleading," he added. In response to a query on whether air pollution is causing deaths and affecting public health nationwide, the minister said there is no conclusive data to establish a direct link between air pollution and mortality. "Air pollution is one of many contributing factors that can affect respiratory ailments and related diseases. Health is determined by several variables, including food habits, occupational exposure, socio-economic conditions, medical history, immunity, heredity and environmental factors," Singh said. According to IQAir's 2024 World Air Quality Report, India ranked as the fifth most polluted country in the world based on air quality data. The report named Byrnihat in Meghalaya as the most polluted metropolitan area globally, with an annual average PM2.5 concentration of 128.2 µg/m³, over 25 times higher than the WHO-recommended limit and more than three times the national standard.
