Stagnant water choked with floating plastic, filth & debris and #construction waste —a toxic dump in disguise.
Blue sheds reflect in this cesspool, while #garbage piles line the banks.
Meanwhile, cars swim through the prime access road to posh Dera Mandi farmhouses, floating on stinking sewage water. Hasn’t changed in two years. Pictures taken on different days/ timings.

Welcome move by @CDSCO_INDIA_INF to all drug manufacturers, marketers & importers to put in place a system to track &report adverse drug reactions. Common man may not be aware that even one of the safest drug like Paracetamol may damage liver if taken in higher dose.

I endorse the advisory of @CDSCO_INDIA_INF and crackdown on misleading product claims. Procedures like Botox have have made injectable treatments routine at aesthetic clinic , lowering the barrier for other cosmetic products to be administered similarly.

Nicely written by @Teensthack. This problem will assume bigger proportions, a medical treatment which may break regulations.

Timely and important article by @ratnabhushanET @Teensthack on the misuse of #GLP1 drugs by salons and gyms.
The fascination with weight loss is irresistible and worldwide these drugs are being sold flouting rules and regulations.
It's an even bigger challenge in India.
Setting an example by action against some defaulters will be a deterrent.

“I would like to thank the teacher at last month’s Artificial Intelligence Summit who said something remarkable, your six can be my nine"
At the RNG Awards, Raj Kamal Jha used this striking anecdote to reflect on truth and perception in today’s information landscape.
What seemed like a simple, humorous remark became a powerful commentary on how rare it is to collectively acknowledge what is clearly false.
