#WATCH | Delhi | On Covid-19 vaccines and sudden deaths, former ICMR DG Dr Balram Bhargava says, "There is no link between Covid-19 vaccination and sudden cardiac death in young people. A recent study by ICMR clearly demonstrates this. We are hearing more about such deaths in people between 18 to 45, but these are associated with identifiable risk factors - over 50% of young individuals who die suddenly are smokers, have a history of binge drinking and many are diabetics or have high cholesterol levels. Chewing tobacco is also reported in lower and middle strata that causes constriction of arteries, fat deposition and clot formation, which can block coronary arteries and lead to heart attacks... Another major risk is heavy gymming and the use of unverified substances like steroids, hormones, and herbal supplements for bodybuilding. While going to the gym is good, it' dangerous to suddenly start intense workouts while consuming such substances... My advice to youth, especially around 20-25 years of age is to know your numbers - weight, blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol levels. Take steps to correct them if not in range and avoid harmful habits... It's important to remember - many such deaths may have occurred earlier too but went unnoticed..."

Heartiest congratulations to Gp Capt Shubhanshu Shukla — the first Indian to reach the International Space Station! 🇮🇳✨
A proud moment for the nation!
Your journey inspires a new era in India’s space research & human spaceflight programs! @isro @IAF_MCC
From conquering the skies to touching the stars— a journey powered by the indomitable spirit of the IAF Air Warrior.
Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla sets forth on a landmark Space Mission, carrying the pride of the nation beyond Earth.
This is a dèjà-vu moment for India, 41 years after the mission of Sqn Ldr Rakesh Sharma, who first carried our Tricolour beyond Earth.
Being more than a mission — it is reaffirmation of India’s ever-expanding horizon.
