Drones can transform healthcare in remote areas: Arunachal minister
After attending the sixth International Drone Expo at Pragati Maidan in New Delhi during the day, Wahge said he was 'truly inspired by how technology is opening new paths for better healthcare".
'Drones can play a major role in delivering medicines, vaccines, and blood samples quickly — especially in remote and hilly areas. They can also be very helpful during emergencies when every second counts," the minister said in a social media post.
He highlighted that Arunachal Pradesh is already taking steps in this direction, with Tech Eagle and Redwing, two drone service providers, currently supporting the government's health outreach in difficult-to-reach locations.
'The future looks promising with tech-driven solutions," Wahge added, stressing the state's commitment to leveraging innovation to bridge healthcare gaps and improve service delivery in underserved areas.

Ayurveda Expert Shares Why Neem Is The Ultimate Monsoon Skin Fix
Last Updated: Known for its antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and detoxifying properties, neem is the ultimate ingredient that can help treat all monsoon skin problems. The monsoon may bring welcome relief from the heat, but it also introduces a host of skin concerns, such as excess oil, fungal infections, breakouts, and irritation due to high humidity. Thankfully, nature offers a powerful solution in Neem, an age-old Ayurvedic remedy known for its antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and detoxifying properties. ' Neem is a versatile and time-tested herb that helps restore balance to the skin, especially in seasons like the monsoon when moisture and pollution aggravate common skin conditions," says Dr. Bhavana S. Gaitonde, Ayurveda expert at Himalaya Wellness Company. From acne control to dandruff defence, incorporating Neem into your daily routine can significantly reduce the seasonal toll on your skin and scalp. 1. Clarify Oily Skin with a Neem Face Pack Humidity often triggers excess sebum production and clogged pores. A neem face pack made with neem powder and water, rose water, or honey helps purify the skin, curb acne, and prevent future breakouts. Apply this clarifying mask 2–3 times a week to keep skin fresh and matte. 2. Soothe Rashes with Neem-Infused Bath Water Fungal infections, itching, and body rashes become common during the monsoon, especially in skin folds. Add neem to your bathwater by boiling its leaves and straining the water, or mix a few drops of pure neem oil into your bucket. This helps calm irritation and reduce bacterial growth. 3. Target Trouble Spots with Neem Oil Neem oil, when mixed with a carrier oil like coconut or almond oil, works wonders on pimples, mosquito bites, and other minor irritations. Apply directly using a cotton swab for antiseptic, anti-inflammatory action that speeds up healing and reduces redness. 4. Use Neem Water as a Natural Toner Pollution and humidity can lead to dullness and enlarged pores. Boil neem leaves, cool and strain the water, and use it as a toner after cleansing. This helps tighten pores, refresh skin, and acts as a natural antibacterial shield. 5. Detox Your Scalp with a Neem Hair Mask An oily scalp, dandruff, and hair fall often flare up in the monsoon. Mix neem powder with curd or water to create a scalp pack. Apply once a week before shampooing to control flaking, soothe itchiness, and strengthen roots for healthier, fuller hair. view comments First Published: August 02, 2025, 12:02 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

How To Adopt Korean Wellness Routines Daily For Long-Term Health And Balance
Last Updated: The Korean lifestyle emphasizes on intentional and slow living. Adopting simple practices from their wellness routines can help you lead a balanced life. Rooted in centuries-old traditions and modern self-care philosophies, Korean wellness routines offer a holistic approach to living a balanced and healthy life. From mindful eating to skincare rituals and mental well-being, here's how you can incorporate Korean wellness practices into your daily lifestyle. How To Adopt Korean Wellness Routines Daily For A Balanced Life 1. Start Your Day with Warm Barley Tea (Boricha) A staple in Korean households, boricha (roasted barley tea) is often consumed first thing in the morning. Caffeine-free and rich in antioxidants, this tea supports digestion, improves circulation, and helps detoxify the body. Swap your morning coffee with a cup of boricha for a gentle, gut-friendly start to your day. 2. Embrace Daily Skincare as a Mindful Ritual The famous Korean skincare routine isn't just about flawless skin; it's also a form of self-care. A consistent regimen of cleansing, toning, moisturising, and protecting your skin doubles as a meditative ritual. The focus on layering and hydration helps you slow down and tune in to your body's needs. 3. Eat Balanced, Plant-Forward Meals Korean meals are typically packed with fermented foods, vegetables, and balanced proportions of carbs and protein. Incorporate kimchi, seaweed, tofu, and rice into your meals for improved gut health and sustained energy. Don't forget banchan – small side dishes that encourage variety and moderation. In the Korean lifestyle, walking is a big part of daily life. Whether it's a stroll through the neighbourhood or a brisk walk in nature, staying active without strenuous workouts is key. Combine this with regular jjimjilbang (Korean spa) visits or home-based warm baths to relax your muscles and mind. 5. Practice 'Slow Living' with Intention Korean wellness emphasises slowness: doing less, but doing it better. From taking your time with meals to practising han, a quiet reflection of emotions, slowing down helps manage stress and improve emotional balance. Adopting Korean wellness routines isn't about overhauling your lifestyle overnight. Start small – swap in barley tea, tweak your meals, or take a mindful walk daily. Over time, these habits create a rhythm of care and balance that supports both physical health and mental clarity. view comments First Published: August 02, 2025, 09:53 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Services at AIIMS-Patna affected as docs go on indefinite strike over MLA's ‘high-handedness'
An FIR has been lodged against the MLA by the police, but no copy has been provided to the RDA officially. As per legal opinion, the FIR is weak, lacking the strength and sections necessary to ensure strict legal action against the perpetrators, it said. According to a press statement issued by the Resident Doctors' Association (RDA), AIIMS-Patna, on Friday, 'The RDA expresses deep disappointment and anguish over the lack of action by the administration following the violent and traumatic incident that occurred on Wednesday, when MLA Chetan Anand, his wife and their armed guards breached hospital security, physically assaulted staff, and threatened resident doctors with firearms within the Trauma Centre premises.' 'Our indefinite strike will continue until further notice… We call upon all residents to remain united and firm. Our stand is for justice, safety, and dignity of every healthcare worker,' it said. Patna, Aug 1 (PTI) Healthcare services were affected at AIIMS-Patna on Friday as resident doctors went on an 'indefinite strike' in protest against the alleged high-handedness of Sheohar MLA Chetan Anand. On the other hand, non-bailable charges have been filed against resident doctors, who were victims, not aggressors, on the basis of a complaint filed by the MLA against members of the RDA, it alleged. No official statement or press release has been issued by the AIIMS administration condemning the incident or standing in support of its doctors, it said. Emergency, OPD and other services were affected as a result of the strike. On the other hand, Anand, the RJD-turned-JD(U) legislator, had lodged a police complaint, alleging that staffers of AIIMS-Patna misbehaved with him and his wife during a visit to the hospital on Wednesday night. On Thursday, he told PTI that he and his wife were mistreated by hospital staffers when they went to visit a supporter admitted to the facility. 'My wife and I went to see one of my supporters admitted at AIIMS on Wednesday night. I was not allowed to enter the hospital with my security guard. This prompted my wife to intervene,' he said. 'At that moment, other staff members came and started misbehaving with my wife. They literally thrashed her. I had to intervene. My wife sustained injuries to her wrist and back. I was also held hostage by the staffers for some time. Finally, we went to the local police station and lodged a complaint,' he added. The MLA's mother, Lovely Anand, is the JD(U) MP from the Sheohar Lok Sabha seat. Meanwhile, an FIR was registered on the basis of the complaint filed by AIIMS-Patna administration on Thursday night, said Patna City SP (West) Bhanu Pratap Singh, who visited the hospital and interacted with the protesting resident doctors. 'Earlier, a complaint related to the incident was filed by the opponent party as well. The matter is being investigated,' he added. PTI PKD ACD This report is auto-generated from PTI news service.
