Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The one-day workshop, organised by the Helping Hearts Foundation, brought together top heart specialists and diabetologists from across India to address the growing link between diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Under the leadership of Dr Sinha, senior doctors presented complex case studies and discussed modern treatments to prevent this dangerous combination. "Timely awareness and lifestyle discipline can save lives. Our mission is to educate every citizen about simple and effective steps to overcome this double threat," said Jyoti Sinha, secretary of Helping Hearts Foundation, during the public awareness session that kicked off the conclave. She emphasised that bringing discipline in daily routines — diet, physical activity and stress management — can drastically reduce the risk. Doctors from across India, including Dr Tiny Nair (Trivandrum), Dr Srinivas (Hyderabad), Dr Rajiv Agarwal (Meerut), Dr Sushil Gupta (Lucknow Max Hospital) and Dr Aditya Kapoor (PGI Lucknow) shared insights into how diabetes often masks or worsens heart conditions, making early diagnosis and combined care essential. Dr Rishi Shukla (Kanpur) also presented critical cases from his practice. "Managing heart health in diabetics is like walking on a tightrope—you can't ignore one and treat the other," said Dr Sushil Gupta, highlighting the need for integrated medical approaches. Dr Neeraj Bhasin, Dr Bhupendra Tripathi (deputy director, Gate Foundation), and others echoed this sentiment. The event also focused on maintaining physical, mental, and emotional balance for overall wellness. Support from professionals like Dr Anuja Bhargava, Shantanu Sinha, and creative partner Speaking Pictures played a key role in making the conclave impactful and engaging for the public.

Haryana all-party meet asks Punjab to release water from Bhakra dam unconditionally
CHANDIGARH: Amid the ongoing water dispute between Haryana and Punjab, an all-party meeting convened by the Haryana government criticised Punjab's refusal to release water from Bhakra dam, calling it 'unconstitutional, illegal, inhuman, and inappropriate.' The meeting urged the AAP-led Punjab government to release water unconditionally. This came a day after a similar all-party meeting in Punjab supported its government's decision to withhold water from BJP-ruled Haryana. Haryana CM Nayab Singh chaired the meeting attended by Water Resources Minister Shruti Choudhry, Energy Minister Anil Vij, Agriculture Minister Shyam Singh Rana, BJP state chief Mohan Lal Badoli, former CM Bhupinder Singh Hooda, Congress state chief Udai Bhan, Dushyant Chautala (JJP), Rampal Majra (INLD), and Sushil Gupta (AAP). Saini slammed Punjab for blocking Haryana's drinking water supply and not building the Sutlej-Yamuna Link (SYL) canal. He said Punjab's move undermines federal values and added, 'Even in low water years like 2016–2019, Haryana got its share. The current level is higher, yet Haryana is denied water.' He added that Haryana's allocated share is 12.55 MAF but receives only 10.67 MAF, while Punjab is using 17.15 MAF against its allocation of 14.67 MAF. A resolution was passed urging Punjab to implement BBMB's technical committee's decisions dated April 23 and April 30. Saini noted that Punjab's actions appear politically motivated, possibly in response to Delhi election results. He said all options, including approaching the Centre or holding a special Assembly session, are open. Former Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda and AAP's Sushil Gupta echoed support, calling for unity and a meeting with the Prime Minister to resolve the crisis.
