RSS women's wing expresses concern over substance abuse among youth
1 2 Nagpur: The Rashtra Sevika Samiti, the women's wing of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), on Sunday expressed serious concern over rising substance abuse among youth, including women. The organisation also mentioned opioid abuse among other substances. Opioids are natural, synthetic and semi-synthetic drugs, including prescription medications. The Samiti, which held its national executive meeting headed by Pramukh Sanchalika, Shantakka, passed a resolution urging the govt to make it mandatory for educational institutions to include programmes against addiction as part of their activities. The organization blamed social media and movies for rising drug abuse. It also sought curbs over means of inappropriate entertainment and strict action against those involved in the drug trade. Drug addiction has also led to improper behaviour, provocative dressing, and antisocial activities, said the Samiti while also calling for having better-equipped de-addiction centres and an increase in their numbers. Citing a report by the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), the Samiti said almost 25 crore young persons are addicted to some kind of substance. Drug abuse is also fast increasing among women, noted the Samiti. Based on the AIIMS report, the Samiti said 1.6% of women are addicted to alcohol, 0.26% to opioids, 0.34% to cannabis, and 8.9% to tobacco. It also mentioned a Supreme Court observation in December 2022, that 1.58 crore persons in the age group of 10 to 17 years are addicted to various drugs, and more than 75% of the addicts start the abuse before the age of 20 years. Praise for Operation Sindoor Rashtra Sevika Samiti issued a letter congratulating the Indian armed forces for the success of Operation Sindoor. It mentioned that the Indian air defence system foiled attacks by the Pakistani forces mid-air. "The country also gained on the diplomatic front by isolating Pakistan globally. Having two women officers brief about the success of Operation Sindoor signalled women empowerment. The entire Operation Sindoor has emerged as a symbol of assurance for country's safety," said a note shared by the Samiti. E-booklet on experiences during Emergency The Rashtra Sevika Samiti, which will complete 90 years in 2026, has also released an e-booklet on the sevikas' (women volunteers) experiences during the struggle against Emergency. The Samiti has termed the Emergency as a dark period for Indian democracy. The Samiti's national executive meeting was held in Nagpur from July 17 to 20. It was attended by 411 representatives from 38 regions of the organisation. The Samiti's volunteers will also be working on the events to mark the centenary year of RSS.

Rush Hour: Pakistan got ‘live inputs' from China during Op Sindoor, Nipah alert in Kerala and more
We're building a brand-new studio to bring you bold ground reports, sharp interviews, hard-hitting podcasts, explainers and more. Pakistan received real-time intelligence from China about India's important military deployments during Operation Sindoor, the Indian Army said. Lieutenant General Rahul R Singh, the deputy Army chief (capability development and sustenance), said at an event: 'When the DGMO [director general of military operations]-level talks were going on, Pakistan actually was mentioning that 'we know that your such and such important sort is primed and it is ready for action...I would request you to perhaps pull it back'. So he was getting live inputs from China.' Singh also said that India must be prepared for future attacks on its population centres and highlighted the need for strengthening air defence capabilities. The Army officer further said that India was effectively up against three adversaries during the four-day conflict: with Pakistan leading the front, China offering extensive support and Turkey playing an important role by providing drones 'along with trained individuals who were there'. Read on. The Kerala government issued a high alert in three districts after two suspected cases of the Nipah virus were detected in the state. One of the cases was later confirmed. The alert was issued for Malappuram, Palakkad and Kozhikode districts. State Health Minister Veena George convened an emergency meeting and confirmed that preventive actions had been intensified in line with the Nipah virus protocol. Police assistance had been sought to help trace persons who may have been in contact with the suspected cases, the minister said. Twenty-six rapid response teams had been deployed to carry out contact tracing, monitor symptoms and spread public awareness. Since 2018, Kerala has experienced five Nipah outbreaks. Read on. Witness testimonies and videos from the violence in Uttar Pradesh's Sambhal in November 'contradict the official narrative' that the crowd protesting a court-appointed survey was violent, said a fact-finding report by a civil rights groups. 'Rather, they [testimonies and videos] depict excessive force by the police, including unlawful entries into homes, destruction of property and beatings,' said the report released by non-governmental organisation Association for Protection of Civil Rights and solidarity campaign Karwan-e-Mohabbat. The report pertained to the violence that broke out in Sambhal on November 24 after a group of Muslims objected to a court-ordered survey of the Shahi Jama Masjid in Chandausi town. A trial court had ordered the survey in a lawsuit claiming that the mosque had been built in 1526 by Mughal ruler Babar on the site of the 'centuries-old Shri Hari Har Temple dedicated to Lord Kalki'. Five persons were killed in the violence.

‘What is my fault?': Punjab man's world shattered after parents killed in Pakistani shelling during Operation Sindoor
A 57-year-old farmer from Punjab's Ferozepur, who was injured when missile debris fell on his home during a Pakistani aerial intrusion in May, died on Tuesday in Ludhiana. Lakhwinder Singh, 55, one of the three members of a family injured in a Pakistani drone strike at Khai Pheme Ki village in Ferozepur district on May 9, succumbed to his injuries at Dayanand Medical College and Hospital in Ludhiana on Tuesday night. (HT file photo) According to a report by PTI, the farmer, identified as Lakhwinder Singh, a resident of Khai Pheme Ke village in Ferozepur district, had been on a ventilator for the last few days at Ludhiana's Dayanand Medical College and Hospital (DMCH) after his condition deteriorated. Singh got injured when debris from a Pakistani drone fell on his house during the India-Pakistan conflict in the aftermath of Operation Sindoor on May 9. His wife, 50-year-old Sukhwinder Kaur, and their son, 24-year-old Jaswinder Singh, had also received burn injuries. The trio was rushed to a hospital in Ferozepur, but they were later shifted to DMCH in Ludhiana, where Sukhwinder Kaur succumbed to her injuries on May 13. "Earlier, I lost my mother, and now my father passed away,' the couple's son, who has been discharged after treatment, said of his father's death. Jaswinder said that he is yet to receive his father's body, and nobody from the administration has turned up to offer any kind of help. "What is my fault? All I am left with is five acres of land for farming. I am still recovering from the injuries in my legs,' he said. Operation Sindoor and the aftermath India carried out pre-dawn missile strikes on nine terror targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir on May 7. Codenamed Operation Sindoor, the strikes were in response to the April 22 terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam that claimed 26 lives, including 25 tourists. Following the Indian action, Pakistan launched an offensive against Indian military bases and resorted to shelling the border areas for the next three days. Multiple aerial attacks were carried out by Pakistan at many places along western India's borders, including in Punjab, which were effectively thwarted by the Indian security forces before a ceasefire understanding was reached on May 10.
