Far from cure

We select one disease to be mortally afraid of – and ignore all the diseases that we should be scared of. One of these is bovine tuberculosis. Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) is a disease of cattle that is a major public health threat. It is transmitted...

Enough of theatrics

The unplanned manner in which Prime Minister Modi declared the COVID-linked 21-day lockdown is taking a harsh toll. For instance, several faithful from various states and abroad who attended a religious event at the Markaz or the Global Centre of the Tablighi Jamaat in Nizamuddin...
