Days After Air India Mishap, 7 Dead In Kedarnath Helicopter Crash In Uttarakhand
At Least 5 Students Dead as Air India Flight Crashes Into BJ Medical College Hostel in Ahmedabad
At least Five medical students, including four undergraduates and a postgraduate doctor, have died after an Air India Dreamliner crashed into the BJ Medical College hostel just minutes after takeoff. The Boeing 787-8, operating as Flight AI171 to London, carried 242 people when it failed to gain altitude and slammed into the student campus. Witnesses say 30–50 students and staff were inside the hostel dining area during lunch. Disturbing visuals show food plates abandoned and a mangled part of the aircraft embedded in the hostel wall. Nearly 40 doctors have also been injured — one critically. Captain Sumeet Sabharwal had issued a Mayday call seconds before the crash. This is one of the most catastrophic aviation disasters in Indian history, not just for passengers, but also for those on the ground. Our thoughts are with the victims, their families, and the medical community shaken by this terrible event.#airindiacrash #bjmedicaltragedy #ai171disaster #planecrashinhostel #boeing787crash #gujaratnews #aviationtragedy #ahmedabadcrash #studentcasualties #breakingnews #toi #toibharat #bharat #breakingnews #indianews

Doctor shares 5 Indian foods that help lower bad cholesterol naturally: ‘Heart health begins in kitchen'
Struggling with high cholesterol and looking for natural ways to manage it? Instead of relying solely on medications, turning to your kitchen might be a smart first step. In his May 29 Instagram post, Dr Sumit Kapadia, vascular surgeon and varicose vein specialist, shares five everyday Indian foods that can help lower LDL or "bad" cholesterol levels while supporting overall heart health. (Also read: Cardiologist shares how to protect your heart at every age: Smart habits to build in your 20s, 30s, 40s and beyond ) "I often remind my patients: heart health begins in the kitchen. Cholesterol buildup can silently damage your arteries until it's too late. But the good news? Your everyday Indian diet has powerful tools to fight LDL cholesterol naturally," Dr Sumit wrote in the caption. Here are 5 Indian foods Dr Sumit recommends to help protect your heart: A post shared by Dr Sumit Kapadia (@drsumitkapadia) Packed with soluble fibre, methi helps bind cholesterol in the gut and blocks its absorption. For best results, soak the seeds overnight and consume them in the morning. Surprisingly, coconut can be heart-friendly when used mindfully. Whether as oil or grated, it may help raise good cholesterol (HDL), which in turn helps balance out LDL. This underrated superfood is rich in mucilage, a gel-like substance that traps cholesterol and helps flush it out of the body naturally. These fruits are high in pectin and antioxidants, supporting liver function and helping to lower cholesterol over time. Pick whichever is local and in season. A staple in Indian kitchens, garlic is known to lower total cholesterol and blood pressure. Just 1–2 raw cloves a day can have powerful effects. Tip: Want to lower your LDL without giving up your favourite cultural foods? Start with small changes, be consistent, and let food be your first medicine.

Confusion deepens over death toll in Ahmedabad plane crash; officials silent
AHMEDABAD: No official death toll has been declared yet in the AI-171 crash, but a civil hospital doctor on Saturday confirmed receiving 270 bodies. The Air India flight carried 242 passengers—only one, Vishwas, survived. So far, identities of four doctors and nine civilians have been confirmed, while 272 DNA samples have been collected, indicating 18 remain untraced. As the government continues to withhold an official death toll in the Ahmedabad plane crash, discrepancies have begun to emerge. On Saturday, Dr. Dhaval Gameti of Civil Hospital revealed to the media that 270 bodies had been Recived — a figure that sharply contrasts with the official silence. This raises serious questions, considering the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner carried 242 passengers and crew, including 169 Indians, 53 Britons, 7 Portuguese, and 1 Canadian. Adding to the toll, at least 13 local residents, including four medical students, died when the aircraft came down in a densely populated area of Ahmedabad.
