On the auspicious occasion of Dussehra, @Sonal_MK , speaking to @gauravcsawant , lists five evils India must address: crimes against women, air pollution, a broken education system, food adulteration and growing intolerance towards dissent.
She calls for stronger action on women's safety, cleaner air, better education, transparency in food and medicine safety, and greater acceptance of opposing viewpoints.

"It is very, very rare for somebody to actually be sent to custody because their detention documentation was not verified." The prolonged custody of CJP co-conveners Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka has raised questions about whether their case is an exception to the usual Special Executive Magistrate procedure. @AneeshaMathur reports on #5Live with @Sonal_MK.

Delhi air quality dropped sharply after Dussehra effigy burnings as the AQI surged from 216 to 291.
Authorities implemented GRAP Stage 1 measures across Delhi NCR to control dust and enforce vehicle restrictions. New rules promote public transit and 50 percent work from home to cut traffic pollution.

Five evils. Five urgent priorities. One wish for a better India. @Sonal_MK's Dussehra list puts women's safety, clean air, quality education, food safety and tolerance for dissent in the spotlight.

Delhi Dussehra: 30-Foot Cockroach Effigy Set To Burn Amid CJP Protests
Organisers stated that the effigy represents filth and unhygienic conditions, framing the initiative as part of the Swachh Bharat and Swachh Delhi cleanliness campaigns. However, the timing has triggered intense discussion amid demonstrations by the Cockroach Janta Party. In response, Cockroach Janta Party founder Abhijeet Dipke reacted with sarcasm, thanking the organisers for free publicity.

How did Tiger Shroff end up in bandages if no bullet hit him?
When shots are fired at close range (under a meter), the bullet is not the only thing that comes out of the gun.

Dissent shouldn’t just be heard…
but also seen!
Seen by those it stands against
Jantar Mantar Denotification Row
@Sonal_MK calls Jantar Mantar the social media of people who do not have hashtags, highlighting how it gives farmers, pensioners and ordinary citizens a platform to make their voices heard.
Listen in.

A massive crackdown in Uttar Pradesh has exposed widespread contamination across 39 districts. The state FSDA tested 242 samples of packaged water, revealing that over 200 samples failed quality and safety standards.
With dangerous bacteria like E. coli and mould detected in bottled water, production has been suspended across non-compliant units under the Food Safety and Standards Act.
Watch the full breakdown of the government crackdown and what steps manufacturers must take to resume operations | @Sonal_MK

Washington protests outside the White House
London protests in Parliament Square
Every democracy has an address for dissent… close to centres of power where discontent is visible
Ours is Burari !
Where do people go when they want those in power to listen?
From Washington to London, Paris to Seoul, public squares have long been the stage for protests that shaped history.
With Delhi’s Jantar Mantar removed from the list of authorised protest sites, the debate over the right to dissent takes centre stage.
@Sonal_MK takes us through prominent public squares around the world that became landmarks of resistance.

Why don’t we see Rahul Gandhi and CJP on one stage?
If Rahul Gandhi and CJP are fighting for the same cause, why haven't we seen them share the stage?
Does Delhi Police follow different rules for political parties and their leaders versus youth protesters? Why are others detained and released, while CJP leaders are sent to Tihar Jail?
@Scribe_Rahul and @PreetiChoudhry break down the details.

#IndiaTodayConclaveMumbai | Weight-loss medications are not meant to be cosmetic solutions, says diabetologist and endocrinologist Dr Shashank Joshi. He explains that these drugs are prescribed selectively under medical supervision, particularly for patients with conditions such as diabetes or abnormal fat accumulation.
Dr Joshi says the focus goes beyond fat loss to include organ protection, longevity and the management of associated health conditions. He also describes improvements in some patients with sleep apnoea, noting that treatment decisions require careful medical assessment.

Are public health panics driven by real biological threats or mass hysteria? During the 1994 Surat health scare, widespread panic caused Doxycycline to vanish from Indian markets even though the event later proved not to be plague. While 1970s Siberian lab research created aerosolised plague genetically engineered against older antibiotics, modern treatments like Ciprofloxacin were developed later and remain effective if administered early.

'Chance of plague turning into pandemic is ZERO" says @DrGodseRavi1 to @Sonal_MK as he weighs in on the WHO risk assessment and the recent Siberian plague scare.

When an anti-plague researcher in Siberia died under mysterious circumstances, nearly 200 people were placed in isolation, triggering fear of a lab containment breach. Although health authorities report no active outbreak, the incident reopens a long history of government cover-ups and bioweapons research.
We break down what happened in Siberia what the WHO is saying, and why high-security biolabs remain a critical global concern | @Sonal_MK @DrGodseRavi1
