Nagpur is gearing up to turn pink as part of its Breast Cancer Awareness initiatives, with public buildings, monuments, and landmarks illuminated to highlight the importance of early detection and preventive care. The campaign aims to educate citizens about breast cancer risks, symptoms, and the significance of regular screenings. Medical professionals and NGOs in the city are organizing awareness drives, free screening camps, and interactive sessions to reach women across age groups. The initiative emphasizes the need for early diagnosis, lifestyle modifications, and support systems for patients and survivors. Health experts hope such visual campaigns, combined with community engagement, will increase participation in preventive programs and reduce late-stage diagnoses. City officials and activists also plan workshops and awareness marches to foster dialogue about breast cancer, break societal stigmas, and encourage families to prioritize women’s health. The campaign reflects Nagpur’s commitment to public health and its role in spreading awareness on a disease that affects thousands of women each year. #NagpurAwareness #BreastCancerAwareness #PinkCampaign #EarlyDetection #HealthInitiative #WomenHealth #ScreeningCamps #CommunityEngagement
Congress leader Shashi Tharoor expressed surprise over the Indian-American community's lack of response to recent US policies, including the $100,000 fee for H-1B visa holders. He highlighted that many US lawmakers, including Ami Bera, have raised concerns about these policies, but the diaspora's silence is puzzling. Tharoor emphasized the need for the community to engage more actively in addressing issues that affect them and their home country. The H-1B visa fee hike has been a point of contention, with critics arguing that it disproportionately impacts skilled workers from India. Tharoor linked the fee increase to domestic political agendas in the US, suggesting that it serves to appease certain voter bases. He called for a more vocal and united response from the Indian-American community to protect their interests. #ShashiTharoor #IndianAmericanDiaspora #H1BVisaFee #USPolicyCritique #CommunityEngagement #PoliticalAgenda #VisaHike #DomesticPolitics #GlobalRelations #newsone
