Congress aims to reconnect with these traditional supporters, particularly in slum areas. “Minority-dominated constituencies such as Mustafabad, Seelampur, Okhla, Babarpur, Chandni Chowk, Matia Mahal, Ballimaran and Gokulpuri have consistently supported us through the years,” a party official explained. “This explains why we secured substantial votes during the previous assembly and Lok Sabha elections. We have already declared candidates for most of these constituencies to ensure sufficient time for making the constituents aware of our party's guarantees.” The party is emphasizing its commitment to addressing issues affecting these communities, particularly regarding underdeveloped infrastructure and inconsistent water supply in slums. Congress is also targeting constituencies where it received a substantial vote share in the 2020 elections, including Badli, Gandhi Nagar, Kasturba Nagar, Hari Nagar, Seelampur, Jangpura, and Bawana.

markets security Food Research Diversity reports shock Breaking the Cycle: Food Security Act helps 1.8 million children grow stronger, shows study

National Food Security Act (NFSA) of 2013 has been instrumental in reducing child stunting in India, preventing stunting in approximately 1.8 million children across eight states, reported TOI, citing a study published in the American Economic Association's Journal on Applied Economics. The evaluation highlights the impact of expanded food grain distribution under the Act on child nutrition, stunting, and dietary diversity. The study, conducted by Aditya Shrinivas of IIM Bangalore alongside researchers from the universities of California and Calgary, found that the Public Distribution System (PDS) under the NFSA improved not just nutrition but also household welfare. By increasing daily wages and overall income, the PDS provided crucial support to poor households, who are primarily net labor suppliers. Additionally, it helped vulnerable families withstand climate shocks such as poor rainfall or drought. The NFSA standardized entitlements to 5 kg of staple grains per person per month at subsidized rates—Rs 3 per kg for rice and Rs 2 per kg for wheat. Before the Act, states had discretion over prices and quantities offered under the PDS. This shift from per-household to per-individual entitlements particularly benefited larger families, prompting less generous states to expand their food distribution programs.

Hollywood Citi Research Experts stage stars infection Hollywood star Mel Gibson claims that his friends were cured of stage 4 cancer through two drugs used against worm infestation!

antiparasitic drugs, traditionally prescribed for infections caused by roundworms and other parasites, hold the key to combating cancer? Hollywood actor Mel Gibson appears to believe so. In a candid conversation on comedian Joe Rogan's podcast, the Braveheart star revealed that two of his close friends, who had been battling stage 4 cancer, experienced remarkable recoveries after using ivermectin and fenbendazole—drugs commonly employed to treat parasitic infections like roundworms and threadworms. Gibson went on to make a bold statement, claiming that all three friends who tried these medications «don’t have cancer right now.» He emphatically added, «This stuff works, man.» While these claims have sparked interest, experts urge caution, as scientific evidence supporting the use of these drugs for cancer treatment remains in its infancy. Some preliminary studies hint at potential benefits. For instance, ivermectin, when combined with other therapies, has been found to shrink tumors in early research, though such findings are yet to be validated by larger clinical trials. Similarly, fenbendazole—marketed under brand names such as Panacur and Safe-Guard—has shown promise in laboratory studies by halting the growth of certain aggressive cancer cells.

BJP and Congress continue to occupy government bungalows in Lutyens’ Delhi, in violation of official norms. Both parties currently hold two bungalows each, long after deadlines set under the 2012 policy for vacating such properties, reported TOI.

Congress, which recently completed construction of its office on Kotla Road, still occupies bungalows on Akbar Road and Raisina Road. “The rule applies to all political parties. There is no indication when these bungalows will be vacated,” TOI quoted a source as saying, adding that six bungalows are currently under political use.
