Health dept plants moringa trees at CHC, govt hosps
Varanasi: The health department is planting moringa trees on the premises of govt hospitals. In view of this, tree plantation was carried out at the urban community health centre in Shivpur on Friday by councillor Baliram Kannaujia, deputy chief medical officer Dr Piyush Rai, and superintendent Dr Santosh Yadav. Mission director Dr Pinky Joyel inspired people by planting a moringa tree at the same CHC. Chief medical officer Dr Sandeep Chaudhary said that moringa is a miraculous health tree with leaves, pods, and seeds rich in nutrients. It contains abundant amounts of vitamins A, C, calcium, potassium, protein, and iron. Moringa is packed with vitamins, antioxidants, pain-relieving properties and amino acids which are highly beneficial for health. The CMO said that to increase greenery and improve the environment in the district, trees are being planted, and the nutrient-rich moringa trees are prioritised. Two moringa trees should be planted at all CHCs, PHCs, and health sub-centres in the district. He said that according to the National Family Health Survey, about 32% of children in the country are underweight for their age. Some children suffer from anaemia due to various reasons. Due to its properties, moringa can be a boon for such children, as well as for adolescents and women. Dr Santosh said that plastic is most dangerous for the environment. Plastic is a material that does not decompose for years, causing significant harm to the environment. If it is on the ground, the soil cannot absorb water, and if dumped in rivers, ponds, or seas, it becomes a threat to aquatic life. Therefore, people should be encouraged to reduce the use of plastic and prevent plastic pollution. Senior physician Dr Manoj Dubey and all the hospital staff were present at the tree planting event.

Disturbing footage: Indian men assault woman and pull her hijab
ALBAWABA - A video of several Indian men assaulting a woman and stripping her of her hijab recently sparked outrage on social media. Footage of the violent interaction swarmed several platforms, with many locals condemning the act. According to several Indian sources, the incident occurred in Uttar Pradesh, India. The woman was walking down the state's streets with her mother's Hindu work colleague when they were suddenly surrounded by many men who started assaulting them verbally and physically. The incident occurred specifically in the Muzaffarnagar district on Saturday, April 12, 2025, with local police quickly arriving at the scene and arresting a total of six people for having ties to the violent interaction. Following the arrests, newly released footage showed six suspects limping as police officers escorted them away. Caution: violent footage below Acting swiftly on the case, police arrested six suspects seen in the viral video. A video of the arrested suspects, barely able to walk, has also surfaced. — Piyush Rai (@Benarasiyaa) April 14, 2025 The move is degrading to a Muslim woman's pride and values, as it's considered prohibited for a hijabi woman to be seen without her headscarf in public and around strange men. Several locals on social media have expressed that this incident has become a daily occurrence in India, expressing further concern for Muslim women's safety in the country. A social media user wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter), "The violent harassment of Muslims in public by Hindutva thugs has become a daily occurrence in Modi's India." Another added, "Utter disgrace, imagine doing that to a Sikh woman or any other religion, shameless."
