Cong: Tripura's healthcare ‘collapsed' under BJP
Agartala: Criticising the BJP-led govt in Tripura, the opposition Congress alleged the state's healthcare system has 'completely collapsed' even as chief minister Manik Saha is himself a doctor. Congress spokesperson Prabir Chakraborty on Saturday alleged that instead of delivering quality healthcare, the state has witnessed corruption and medical negligence, leading to deaths. Reports from both govt and independent agencies have 'punctured' the much-publicised claim of a 'health revolution', he claimed. According to a recent report by the Union ministry of health and family welfare, Tripura ranked first among northeastern states in malaria and chikungunya cases in 2024-25, despite having only 44 lakh population as compared to Assam's over three crore, Chakraborty said. In 2023, the state recorded 22,412 malaria cases, nearly half of the northeast's total, while chikungunya cases rose from 1,557 in 2023 to 2,452 in Dec 2024, he said. Chakraborty said the report further revealed a disturbing rise in HIV cases. PTI Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).

GDMO candidates securing 14 out of 100 recommended for recruitment, state govt should rectify the situation: Ex-Tripura CM Manik Sarkar
Former Tripura Chief Minister Manik Sarkar Sunday took potshots at the BJP-led government over the state public service panel recommending candidates with marks as low as 14 for the posts of general duty medical officers (GMDOs). 'We have come across media reports that the candidates who got 14 marks were recruited (as doctors). Those who have recruited them… it's their responsibility. If the general knowledge of the doctor is not good, then it may be a problem. It's good that attempts are being made to recruit doctors after a long time. But if they are taken irrespective of their quality… it might lead to a completely different result than expected. It may not be true in all cases, it may be true for only a few cases… but the government should take responsibility to rectify it,' Sarkar told reporters on the sidelines of a blood donation camp at Jirania in West Tripura. Three days ago, Chief Minister Dr Manik Saha had congratulated the newly-recommended GDMO candidates. 'Heartfelt congratulations to all the newly recommended GDMO candidates. Wishing you great success as you embark on this noble journey, serving humanity with dedication & compassion. Your commitment to healthcare will make a difference,' CM Saha wrote on his Facebook page, sharing a Tripura Public Service Commission (TPSC) notification for recruitment against GDMO posts. The notification, which cleared the recruitment of 216 medical officers in the grade IV of Tripura Health Services, also said that eight posts remained vacant since no one was found suitable to be recommended, along with nine posts reserved for 'persons with disabilities'. The notification soon landed in a controversy, especially among netizens who were found divided in their opinion about medical officers getting recruited with marks as less as 14 out of 100.

Delhi Techie Earning Rs 30 Lakh A Year Plans To Quit Toxic Job Without Backup: "Extreme Pressure"
A backend developer in Delhi NCR shared his struggles with mental health on Reddit, revealing the toll his high-paying job has taken on his well-being. Despite earning nearly Rs 30 lakh per year and having over a year of experience, he struggles with anxiety, recurring headaches, frequent breakdowns, and burnout. He described the reality of his job as unfulfilling, with his paycheck overshadowed by persistent exhaustion and physical symptoms. The techie attributed his struggles to the intense work environment, citing extreme work pressure, long hours on major festivals, limited sick leave options, and a toxic atmosphere that requires five days of in-office work per week. "Since the day I started, I've been struggling with severe anxiety. A year in, it has worsened — I now face frequent headaches, mental breakdowns, and constant burnout at a young age. The work pressure is extreme, we often need to work long hours on major indian festivals due to business needs. Sick leave usually just means 'work from home while sick.' No hybrid policy — it's 5 days a week in a highly toxic environment. All of this is taking a serious toll on my mental health. This post is not about salary discussion, it's about how I want my present and future to turn out to be," the post read. See the post here: My high tech job is causing problems that I can't bear anymore by u/VDtheking in developersIndia The techie said that he is considering resignation, but is hesitant because of the uncertainty of what's next. Leaving a secure, high-paying job without a plan feels daunting, even with minimal financial obligations. "I sometimes feel like just quitting without another offer lined up. But going from a stable, high salary to zero income is daunting, even though I have no major financial responsibilities right now. The fear of not finding another role — especially when I see people with more experience struggling — makes me hesitate," he added. His story has sparked a discussion on the human cost of high-pressure tech jobs. One user wrote, "Yes, this is not a good time to quit for the market. But it is possible for the OP to push through simply by not taking as much stress, giving priority to his health and maintaining work life balance and doing the bare minimum required to hold the job, atleast until the market gets better. Meanwhile, OP can also continue to apply on the side. Better to have good health and slightly unsecure job than no health and subsequently no job." Another commented, "Your health is more important than any salary. A break now may save you in the long run." A third said, "Don't quit without a plan. Try switching internally or wait till you land another role."
