Robotic surgery won’t help poor, alleges BJP MLA Vipin Parmar

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and MLA Vipin Singh Parmar on Tuesday launched a scathing attack on the Himachal Pradesh government over the introduction of robotic surgery facilities.

Speaking to the media on Tuesday, Parmar said that the state`s health system is already under severe strain, with a shortage of essential staff and facilities across medical institutions. MLA Parmar said, "I have been consistently raising the issue of robotic surgery, but the reality is that health institutions in Himachal Pradesh lack basic infrastructure.

Nidhi Bisht on getting more writing calls over acting post Maamla Legal Hai

In a matter of days, actor Nidhi Bisht will return as advocate Sujata didi in Maamla Legal Hai 2. The actor says she is feeling the nerves of a student. “It’s like waiting for exam results. Now, if we’ve come up a little bit with distinction [scriptwise], we can get a college admission,” she smiled. Even though Bisht returned to the set of the Netflix courtroom comedy series to shoot the second season, a year after its premiere, it took her only minutes to slip back into Sujata’s shoes. “When we met for reading it happened very naturally. Maybe the body has it in its memory; it took me minutes to become Sujata again. [During] reading the lines, we would call each other by our characters’ names,” she said.

`Excess abdominal fat greater risk factor compared to overall obesity`

Union Minister Jitendra Singh on Sunday shed light on abdominal or central obesity as a greater risk factor compared to overall obesity, particularly in the Indian context, where even lean and thin-looking individuals often carry significant visceral fat. The minister stated that while overall obesity is rising among both men and women, the prevalence of abdominal obesity remains disproportionately high and acts as an independent determinant of cardiometabolic risk. "The presence of visceral fat around the abdomen, even without generalised obesity, has significant clinical implications and requires early detection and targeted intervention," Singh said during the launch of a book titled `Advances in Obesity and Lipid Management in CVD`. The minister also highlighted the increasing incid...

How AI Is Making Tax Scams Harder to Spot

AI is facilitating tax scamsOne of the IRS' top scams for 2026 is AI-powered impersonation by phone: fraudsters are using AI tools for voice cloning and caller ID spoofing so recipients believe they are talking to a legitimate IRS representative.
