Death Panelty
The Telangana sessions court on Monday pronounced death sentence to a man and awarded life in prison other of the six accused of ‘honour killing’ of a 30-year-old Dalit man in 2018. 
The killing of P Pranay Kumar occurred in the Miryalaguda region of the Nalgonda district. In the matter, the SC/ST sessions second additional court awarded death penalty to Subhash Sharma. The court also imposed a fine of ₹15,000 on Sharma and ₹10,000 each on the other six convicts.

Killing in 2018

The Nalgonda police filed a detailed chargesheet under the Indian Penal Code under Section 302 9murder), 120B (criminal conspiracy) and 109 (abetment). The chargesheet also included mention of the Indian Arms Act and named eight accused in 2019.
Subhash Sharma was hacked to death by a contract killer in front of his pregnant wife, Amrutha. T Maruthi Rao, the father of the woman, allegedly hired a contract killer for rupees one crore to murder Pranay Premulla in September 2018. This crime was caught on CCTV cameras, which led to a public outrage.

Mark Carney Elected as Canada’s PM: Fresh Start for India-Canada Relations

Mark Carney, PM of Canada
Mark Carney has been elected as the Prime Minister of Canada, replacing the former PM Justin Trudeau. Mark Carney, the former central banker and governor of both the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England, secured 85.9 per cent of votes in the Liberal Party leadership contest. The 59-year-old is a political newcomer, known for his adept handling of financial crises and international economic challenges.

Carney’s Vision for India-Canada Relations

Mark Carney before his election had indicated his intention to rebuild Canada’s strained relationship with India. India-Canada relations had significantly deteriorated under the former Justin Trudeau administration even though Indians represent the highest number of immigrants that Canada welcomes each year. Trudeau’s controversial statement made in September 2023 contributed to this, alleging “credible allegations” linking Indian agents to the killing of pro-Khalistan separatist leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Surrey, British Columbia.
During a media interaction in Calgary, Alberta, Carney said, “What Canada will be looking to do is to diversify our trading relationships with like-minded countries, and there are opportunities to rebuild the relationship with India. There needs to be a shared sense of values around that commercial relationship. If I’m prime minister, I look forward to the opportunity to build that”.
Carney’s stance towards India is much more conciliatory and pragmatic as compared to the confrontational approach adopted by his predecessor.
The new approach towards India of the newly elected Prime Minister of Canada presents a godsend opportunity for both nations to recalibrate their diplomatic and economic ties. Considering the current tensions with the US under the Trump Administration with respect to tariffs, Canada and India can focus on improving their trade ties, and reduce their dependency on the US,

Challenges Ahead

While the new Prime Minister has shown intent to rebuild India-Canada ties, it might not be very easy to overhaul the foreign policy. Carney has inherited a minority government and is facing a conservative opposition led by Pierre Poilievre, who has demanded early elections.

Fashion Show During Ramzan in Jammu and Kashmir Sparks Outrage

Omar Abdullah
A fashion show during the month of Ramzan held in Jammu and Kashmir and has now caught many eyeballs in the state. On Sunday, the Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah sought a report after the fashion show, held in Gulmarg, drew widespread criticism and hate. Abdullah spoke in the state assembly and said he had no role to play in the event.
Speaking on Monday before the discussion for budget commenced, Omar Abdullah said, “ I want to make clear that the government had no role. Had they sought permission, we would not have given it. It was a private function organised in a private hotel, but strict actions will be taken in case there is any violation of law.”
“The images I have seen show a complete disregard for local sensitivity, and that too during this holy month,” Abdullah added.

Fashion Show ‘Obscene’

Kashmir’s chief cleric Mirwaiz Umar Farooq termed the fashion show ‘outrageous and obscene’. People’s Conference President Sajad Lone called the event ‘eminently avoidable’ while Srinagar MP Aga Ruhulla Mehdi and Congress leader Deepika Pushkar Nath publicly criticised the show. 
The fashion show was organised on Friday in Gulmarg to mark the 15th anniversary of designer label ‘Shivan and Narresh’. 

Vanuatu Revokes Lalit Modi’s Citizenship Amid Extradition Concerns

By

Lalit Modi, the fugitive businessman and founder of the Indian Premier League (IPL), has lost his Vanuatu citizenship after the South Pacific nation’s government ordered its cancellation. Modi, who had reportedly acquired citizenship in Vanuatu, had applied to surrender his Indian passport through the Indian High Commission in London. This move came under scrutiny, as Vanuatu Prime Minister Jotham Napat issued a directive to the country’s Citizenship Commission to annul Modi’s passport, following concerns that the businessman may have used the nationality to evade extradition to India.
Modi, who has been living in London since fleeing India in 2010, is wanted by Indian authorities for alleged financial irregularities during his tenure as the IPL chairman. These allegations involve embezzlement and violations related to a significant television rights deal. Although Modi underwent standard background checks when applying for Vanuatu citizenship, the country only recently discovered that Interpol had rejected Indian requests to issue an alert notice against him due to a lack of sufficient evidence. This alert would have automatically disqualified Modi from receiving Vanuatu citizenship.

Vanuatu’s PM Stresses Citizenship is a Privilege, Not a Right

Prime Minister Napat stated through a public declaration that gaining Vanuatu citizenship represents a privilege that requires proper justification for citizenship issuance. The attempt by Modi to acquire citizenship to avoid extradition purposes was rejected by the authorities. The Prime Minister noted that the Vanuatu government had strengthened its due diligence process for citizenship applications in recent years, incorporating triple-agency checks, including Interpol verifications.

Lalit Modi Drops Indian Citizenship

The Ministry of External Affairs from India verified that Lalit Modi submitted a request to return his Indian passport on March 7. Modi’s case remains under active Indian investigation because the Ministry continues to actively pursue legal prosecution against him according to Indian laws. The judiciary in India maintains active pursuit of legal prosecution against Modi due to his supposed forex violations as well as financial misconduct even after his relocation to UK.
Vanuatu, a group of islands in the Pacific Ocean, is known for offering citizenship through its Citizenship by Investment (CBI) program. The program requires a significant financial investment, but it has come under increased scrutiny following the Modi case. The Vanuatu government’s decision to revoke his citizenship serves as a reminder that acquiring such privileges must be based on legitimate grounds and not used to evade legal responsibilities.

Madhya Pradesh: Communal Clashes Erupt in Mhow After India’s ICC Victory

Violent clashes broke out in Madhya Pradesh’s Mhow during the celebrations of India’s victory in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 on Sunday night. A rally organized by some cricket fans turned violent when it passed through the Jama Masjid area, leading to clashes between two groups. As the rally reached near Jama Masjid area, a large group of people allegedly began pelting stones at them.
The clashes initially erupted near Jama Masjid and further spread to areas like Sewa Marg, Manek Chowk, Market Chowk, and Rajesh Mohalia. Following the unrest, the police resorted to a lathi charge and used tear gas to disperse the crowd.

Security Forces Deployed, 13 Arrested

Responding to the clashes the authorities deployed heavy police force from Indore city and rural areas to control the situation. Hitika Vasal Indore Rural Superintendent of Police (SP) confirmed that additional forces were patrolling the area to prevent further violence.
Speaking on the incident, SP Vasal stated, “Tension occurred between the two sides here, and some incidents of violence have taken place. The incident took place after the victory of team India. The incident occurred over firecrackers. The situation is completely under control now. I would like to tell everyone that I do not believe in any type of fake news. Adequate force is here and we are patrolling the area. The incident will be investigated, and all the necessary action will be taken in this regard. Accordingly, the people involved will be punished. Now there is news of three people getting injured here. Further investigation is underway”.
Indore Collector Ashish Singh assured that the police were actively investigating the root cause of the violence. So far, 13 individuals have been arrested, with authorities constantly reviewing CCTV video footage to identify individuals involved. Several seen wearing masks and throwing stones or petrol bombs are also being tracked down by the police.

Shops and Vehicles Set Ablaze

Eyewitnesses from the scene reported widespread panic as the violence unfolded. However, Indore Collector Ashish Singh confirmed that at least two vehicles and one shop had been torched.
Other than three injured, no casualties were reported. According to locals many individuals abandoned their motorcycles and fled for safety. The situation was brought under control with the deployment of additional security personnel. As Mhow is an army cantonment, military units were already stationed in the area.

Authorities Ensure Stability

Senior officials, including Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Agarwal, visited the site to assess the situation. DIG Agarwal stated, “Forces reached the spot as soon as reports of clashes emerged. The situation was brought under control, and no casualties have been reported.”
Officials emphasised that rumors and misinformation should be avoided, urging people not to spread unverified news. Further investigation is ongoing to determine the exact cause of the clashes.

India’s ICC Victory

India’s historic win in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 led to celebrations across the country. The ICC finals were held in Dubai, where India defeated New Zealand by four wickets. This marks India being the most successful team in the tournament’s history.
As India won the finals, the fans took to the streets, waving the Indian tricolor and dancing with enthusiasm. However, in Mhow, what started as a celebratory rally quickly turned into unrest. The authorities are now working to restore peace in the region.

YouTube देखकर Dieting कर रही थी, Dieting ने ले ली जान

kannur girl death due to dieting
kannur girl death due to dieting
Kerala के Kannur ज़िले में 18 साल की एम श्रीनंदा की मौत चर्चा में है। श्रीनंदा अपने बढ़ते वजन से परेशान थी। उसने YouTube से जानकारी हासिल कर एक सीरियस Diet Plan बनाया। पिछले कई महीनों से श्रीनंदा पूरी तरह लिक्विड डाइट पर ही जी रही थी। वज़न घटाने की जिद्द श्रीनंदा के दिल-ओ-दिमाग़ में इस कदर बैठ गई थी कि उसने Solid Food लेना बिल्कुल बंद कर दिया और पूरी तरह Liquid Diet पर ही जी रही थी। लगभग एक हफ़्ते पहले उसे बहुत ज़्यादा थकान और उल्टी होने लगी। परिवार जन श्रीनंदा को Thalaseri Co-operative Hospital ले गए जहां उसे Ventilator Support पर रखा गया। 8 मार्च की रात को उसकी मौत हो गई। श्रीनंदा के Anorexia Nervosa नामक बीमारी से पीड़ित होने की बात सामने आई है।

YouTube से Dieting टिप्स ले रही थी

एम श्रीनंदा Kannur के कुथुपरम्बा की रहने वाली थी। वो मट्टनूर के पजहस्सी राजा NSS कॉलेज की फ़र्स्ट ईयर की स्टूडेंट थी। Modern Age के दस्तूर के चलते श्रीनंदा भी वज़न घटाकर Slim होना चाहती थी। इसके लिए उसने YouTube के किसी Channel से Dieting के टिप्स लिए और Dieting शुरू कर दी। जल्द असर के लिए उसने खाना बिल्कुल ही बंद कर दिया और पिछले कुछ माह से केवल Liquid Diet ही ले रही थी। लगभग एक हफ़्ते पहले उसे बहुत ज़्यादा थकान और उल्टी होने लगी। श्रीनंदा को थालास्सेरी को-ऑपरेटिव अस्पताल में भर्ती कराया गया था। 8 मार्च की रात को उसकी मौत हो गई।

अस्पताल में इलाज के दौरान तोड़ा दम

जब श्रीनंदा की तबीयत ज्यादा खराब हुई, तो उसे तुरंत Kannur थलास्सेरी को-ऑपरेटिव अस्पताल के इमरजेंसी वार्ड में भर्ती कराया गया। वहां उसकी हालत बिगड़ती देख डॉक्टरों ने उसे Kozikode Medical College रेफर कर दिया। लेकिन लाख कोशिशों के बावजूद डॉक्टर उसे बचा नहीं सके। मीडिया रिपोर्ट्स के मुताबिक़, इससे पहले भी उसके परिवार ने Kozikode Medical College में उसका इलाज करवाया था। उसके रिश्तेदारों का कहना है कि श्रीनंदा ने वजन बढ़ने के डर से खाना छोड़ रखा था। वो बहुत ज़्यादा व्यायाम करती थी। साथ ही Strict Liquid Diet पर भी थी, जिसकी वजह से उसे लगातार भूख लगती रहती थी।

डॉक्टर ने बताया Anorexia Nervosa-क्या है ये बीमारी

श्रीनंदा का इलाज करने वाले डॉक्टर Nagesh Prabhu ने पुष्टि की कि वो Anorexia Nervosa से पीड़ित थी। श्रीनंदा ने क़रीब छह महीने से Solid Food बिल्कुल बंद कर दिया था। Doctor Nagesh Prabhu के एक कलिग ने पहले ही उसके परिवार को मनोचिकित्सक (Psychiatrist) की मदद लेने की सलाह दी थी, लेकिन उन्होंने स्थिति की गंभीरता को समझा नहीं। Anorexia Nervosa एक Eating Disorder है, यानी खाने-पीने से जुड़ा विकार। इसकी गहरी मनोवैज्ञानिक जड़े भी  हैं। इससे पीड़ित व्यक्ति पर हमेशा वजन बढ़ने का डर हावी रहता है। इसके चलते वो खाना तक छोड़ देता है। अगर वो खाना खा भी ले, तो उसे गिल्ट होने लगता है कि उसने कोई गुनाह कर दिया है। वो या तो खाने को जबरन उल्टी कर बाहर निकाल देता है, या बहुत ज़्यादा व्यायाम कर बैलेंस बनाने की कोशिश करने लगता है। डॉक्टरों का कहना है कि एक लंबे अंतराल के बाद मरीजों को अंततः भूख का अहसास होना भी बंद हो जाता है। श्रीनंदा के मामले में उसके शरीर में Sodium और Sugar का स्तर इतना गिर गया कि उसे फिर ठीक नहीं किया जा सका।

Mental Health Experts की चेतावनी

ऐसे मामले पश्चिमी देशों में ज़्यादा देखने को मिलते हैं, लेकिन विशेषज्ञों का कहना है कि हाल के सालों में भारत में भी इसके मामलों में बढ़ोतरी हुई है। इसका सबसे बड़ा कारण है Social Media! सोशल मीडिया Platforms पर Size-Zero फिगर का महिमामंडन ऐसे किया जाता है कि ये नहीं है तो जीना बेकार है। ऐसे में बच्चों और युवाओं में वजन घटाने का जुनून पैदा होता है। इसी को चलते उन्हें Anorexia Nervosa जैसी बीमारी घेर लेती है। युवा दिमाग़ Social Media Trends, YouTube Tips से बहुत जल्दी प्रभावित होते हैं। वो Unrealistic Beauty Standards तक पहुंचने की कोशिश करते हैं। ऐसे में वो वजन घटाने को लेकर ज़्यादा चिंतित हो जाते हैं। कई बार इसके घातक परिणाम भी हो सकते हैं। विशेषज्ञों का कहना है कि अत्यधिक डाइटिंग के खतरों के बारे में जागरूकता बढ़ाने की ज़रूरत है। शरीर को फीट दिखाने से ज़्यादा फीट रहने पर ध्यान देने की ज़रूरत है।

Rajasthan Teacher News: स्कूल में बच्चा फेल हुआ तो शिक्षक पर कार्रवाई होगी, ये बयान खुद Rajasthan Education Minister मदन दिलावर ने दिया है। शिक्षा मंत्री मदन दिलावर नागौर के एक दिवसीय दौरे पर पहुंचे, जहां उन्होंने मीडिया से बातचीत के दौरान प्रदेश में नए शिक्षा सत्र में कई बदलावों की जानकारी दी। उन्होंने बताया कि शिक्षकों की पदोन्नति के बाद रिक्त पदों को शीघ्र भरा जाएगा, जिससे शिक्षा व्यवस्था में सुधार होगा। मंत्री ने दावा किया कि इन फैसलों से बच्चों की पढ़ाई पर सकारात्मक प्रभाव पड़ेगा और परीक्षा परिणामों में इसका असर देखने को मिलेगा। यदि ऐसा नहीं हुआ तो शिक्षकों की जवाबदेही तय की जाएगी।

Rajasthan Teacher News: री-टोटलिंग के साथ री-चेकिंग की सुविधा भी होगी

मंत्री मदन दिलावर ने बोर्ड परीक्षाओं को लेकर बड़ा ऐलान करते हुए कहा कि अब बोर्ड परीक्षाओं में कम नंबर आने पर उत्तर पुस्तिकाओं की रीटोटलिंग के साथ री-चेकिंग की सुविधा भी उपलब्ध कराई जाएगी।  इसके अलावा, माध्यमिक शिक्षा बोर्ड के प्रश्नपत्र अब तीन-चार खंडों में विभाजित कर विभिन्न विशेषज्ञों से तैयार कराए जाएंगे। इस नई व्यवस्था से पेपर लीक और नकल माफिया पर प्रभावी अंकुश लगेगा, जिससे परीक्षा प्रक्रिया अधिक पारदर्शी और निष्पक्ष होगी।

सरकार 50,000 शिक्षकों की पदोन्नति करेगी

उन्होंने पिछली सरकार पर पांच साल के कार्यकाल के दौरान शिक्षकों की पदोन्नति नहीं करने का आरोप लगाया और कहा कि वर्तमान सरकार 50,000 शिक्षकों की पदोन्नति करेगी। इसके साथ ही, नई शिक्षक भर्ती (Teacher Recruitment) के लिए भी आयोजन किया जाएगा। मंत्री ने यह भी निर्देश दिया कि बच्चों के लिखित परीक्षा में न्यूनतम 50 प्रतिशत अंक आने चाहिए। अगर बच्चे 80 में से 40 नंबर नहीं लाते हैं तो वे पास हो जाएंगे, लेकिन शिक्षक को फेल कर दिया जाएगा।

HbA1c Test: What It Measures and Why It’s Crucial for Diabetes Management

By
The CSR Journal
-
Diabetes Management

A very powerful way to approach diabetes and manage it begins with the basic understanding of the tools you have. One way is the HbA1c test that is a way to evaluate long-term blood sugar levels, that also gives lots of insights that might get missed with daily testing too. By gaining insights via HbA1c, you can take measures that are long term and beneficial. 

Understanding the Differences Between HbA1c and Blood Glucose Tests 

The HbA1c test is also known as the glycated hemoglobin test that is known to measure the percentage of hemoglobin proteins that are in the blood. This reflects the average sugar in blood over two-three months. It is a way to get a snapshot of your blood profile in tandem to your blood sugar levels overall since instant reads tend to get affected by literally everything including food intake, exercise, stress etc. Whereas HbA1c test helps give you a storyline of your glycemic control. 

When to Use HbA1c Testing 

When it comes to long-term monitoring of your blood glucose levels, the HbA1c test is most valuable. Health care providers generally recommend this for people with diabetes or people who might have an inclination. The periodic evaluation is poignant in determining where your health stands in terms of diabetes which is becoming a rising and prominent problem in modern India. If you need detailed information on the HbA1c test then you can always refer to Healthcare OnTime for all the information you need, how it operates and the role of it in determining your health. 

The Role of Daily Blood Glucose Monitoring 

The daily tracking of blood sugar while being a diabetic is non-negotiable. By measuring it daily you can gain many insights that are critical in determining the lifestyle changes that might be needed, or not needed. Right from meals, activity, to stress, everything directly correlates to diabetes, hence monitoring it closely is poignant to help you stay on top of your health. Frequent checks also help you make changes better and quicker to curb long-term issues to arise later on. And even if it is burdensome to check daily, it is essential to avoid acute episodes of hypo or hyperglycemia. While HbA1c gives us a macroscopic view, daily test give us the smaller picture. 

Which Test Is More Accurate for Diabetes Control?

Understanding which test is more accurate can be a challenge and solely depends on the context. The HbA1c is very accurate and gives you a very macroscopic view of your blood sugar levels and its performance over a two-three month window. Whereas daily checking of blood glucose gives you a microscopic view which aids with you making changes and choices faster. The main difference is that the former might not catch instant changes that happen due to thing like meals, diets, or stress, while the former gives insights on overall health. Both the tests are accurate and correct in their own capacity. If you are diabetic it is essential to do both to maintain your health and keep your diabetes in check. 

Pros and Cons of Each Test 

HbA1c Test 

Pros: 

  • Gives an overview of blood sugar levels over two-three months. 
  • No fasting is required making it more convenient. 
  • Temporary fluctuations don’t hinder anything. 

Cons: 

  • Is influenced by conditions that also affect the hemoglobin like hemoglobinopathies and anemia. 
  • Is incapable of reflecting short-term changes or changes to treatments. 

Daily Blood Glucose Test 

Pros: 

  • Gives immediate results which means actions can be taken quicker if need be.
  • Helps in adjusting insulin doses too. 
  • Gives you the power to make quicker decisions to prevent complications. Cons: 
  • Results can change depending on external factors like stress or meals.
  • Testing often can be inconvenient and painful too sometimes. 
  • Is incapable of giving long-term perspectives on the management of diabetes.

Who Should Prioritize HbA1c Testing? 

If you are a diabetic person, then you need to prioritise HbA1c testing and make it a regular screening process. This is very important to help you from developing future risks related to diabetes. If you have diabetes in your family, or are pre-diabetic, then you must regularly check. Other than this if you are someone who simply wants to understand how your blood glucose levels are shaping up especially if you’re not leading a very healthy life, then you must test. 

How to Use Both Tests for Better Diabetes Management 

For the people who are diabetic, adding both daily glucose checks and HbA1c is helpful to create a robust framework of your health. While HbA1c gives you a bigger picture, daily checks give you a microscopic view on this. The combined approach is very helpful in staying on top of your diabetes and curbing any future issues. It is poignant to leverage the strengths of both. Patients can work with their healthcare professionals to curb this better and help be on top of their diabetes before it leads to more issues. 

Conclusion 

If you need more information on how the hbA1c test works and its role in diabetes management, then you can find more information, as well as book a test on Healthcare OnTime for more insights.
