Citi WhatsApp Trade President reports prevention Mass layoffs by Donald Trump administration are hampering critical health services, including cancer, claims report

The layoffs are stalling — and perhaps ending — many programmes, including a firefighter cancer registry and a lab that is key to certifying respirators for many industries, as per the report. The cuts are «a very pointed attack on workers in this country», said Micah Niemeier-Walsh, vice president of the union local representing NIOSH employees in Cincinnati. Unions that represent miners, nurses, flight attendants and other professions have criticized the cuts, saying it will slow the identification and prevention of workplace dangers. Rallies in Cincinnati and other cities drew not only fired CDC employees but also members of unions representing teachers, postal workers and bricklayers, Niemeier-Walsh said.

UPS MET Man Justice Courts From Rs 65 LPA to Rs 2.4 LPA: In divorce case, High Court questions techie's sudden drop in salary

Bombay High Court recently imposed a Rs 1 lakh fine on a man for deliberately avoiding maintenance payments to his wife and minor daughter. The fine must be paid to the wife within four weeks. The case involved a techie who claimed he could not afford to pay Rs 30,000 per month in maintenance, as ordered by a civil court. However, the court found that he was earning Rs 65 lakh per year—about Rs 5.5 lakh per month—when he took the job in August 2021. Just four days after joining, he claimed that he met with an accident and went on medical leave for two months. He later resigned in February 2022 and took up a lower-paying job with a salary of Rs 20,000 per month. Despite this claim, Justice Madhav Jamdar noted several inconsistencies. The man failed to mention the accident in his earlier court filings and only referred to it in a February 2024 reply to a contempt petition. The judge also pointed out that the husband continued to list his income as Rs 35–50 lakh on matrimonial websites until November 2023, suggesting he was hiding his true financial situation. The court further observed that between February 2021 and January 2022, the man transferred Rs 34 lakh to his mother and brother, likely to shield his assets. Justice Jamdar concluded that the husband made a “systematic attempt” to make any maintenance order unenforceable.

Piyush Jalan, cofounder of Thimblerr, said that Gen Z’s impatience for trends and demand for constant newness is reshaping the fashion industry in India. This shift is triggering a supply chain revolution. As a result, traditional seasonal cycles are dead and brands are now launching 12 to 24 micro-collections a year to keep up. “The frequency of purchase among Gen Z is very high, and their patience for waiting six months to see international trends reach India has completely disappeared. They want what’s trending globally—right now. This is pushing brands to launch products faster and offer a wider variety tailored to Gen Z’s preferences.” Jalan said.
