Pinarayi Vijayan NEW DELHI: Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan has stepped back from a proposed face-toface debate with LoP V D Satheesan, clarifying his earlier invitation was for a discussion via Facebook, not in person.Addressing a press conference in the state capital Tuesday, Vijayan said his remarks were misinterpreted and that he had invited Satheesan to engage on social media, particularly on the govt’s performance highlighted in the LDF’s report card. Watch PM Modi Accuses LDF-UDF of ‘Looting Kerala’, Calls BJP the Only Reliable Choice for Development Soon after, Satheesan renewed his challenge on Facebook, questioning the lack of clarity on time and venue. He said 24 hours had passed since Vijayan indicated willingness for a discussion. Later, speaking at Paravur, Satheesan expressed disappointment, accusing the CM of retreating to social media to avoid accountability for “profound lies” on housing and finances. He cited data to counter Vijayan’s claim that previous UDF govt built only 4,000 houses, saying 4.43 lakh beneficiaries were recorded under Oommen Chandy.“The CM has gone silent since his ‘mega-lie’ was exposed by his ministers’ replies in the House,” Satheesan said, adding that Kerala is not a totalitarian state like “Stalin’s Russia” where dissent can be silenced by removing social media interviews via police intervention.Satheesan also demanded Vijayan apologise to the parents of slain SFI functionary Abhimanyu before engaging with SDPI, accusing him of “opportunism” in alliances.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosDonald Trump Backs US-India Ties, Says Sergio Gor, But Hormuz Risk Puts India In Strategic DilemmaIran War Impact Hits India: Commercial LPG Prices Rise, Airfares Set To Surge As Fuel Costs DoubleIndia Conducts Ex Dweep Shakti, Tri-Service Drill To Boost Coastal And Island DefenceHow An Indian LPG Tanker Took An Unusual Route To Escape Strait Of HormuzTrump Ready To End Iran War Despite Hormuz Blockade?; Iran’s Oil Revenues Soar Thanks To Trump’s War’India’s Silence Helpful To US, Israel And Gulf States’: Former Deputy NSA Pankaj Saran On Iran WarBig April Financial Reset: New Rules For UPI, ATM, PAN, FASTag, Railway Booking To Impact Daily Life’Like Political Vultures’: PM Modi Slams Congress For ‘Spreading Fear’ Amid West Asia CrisisFallen Leaves To Cooking Fuel: IIT Bombay Develops Indigenous Technology To Tackle LPG Crisis‘One Roti’ For Survival?

NEW DELHI: Despite progress in HIV control, Delhi continues to face gaps in treatment coverage, with only about 70% of identified patients currently linked to care, prompting the Centre to step up district-level action.At a high-level workshop—‘Suraksha Sankalp Karyashala’—held in the capital, the Union health ministry reviewed HIV response in Delhi and Haryana, stressing the need to improve testing, treatment linkage and patient follow-up.Delhi, with an estimated 59,079 people living with HIV and an adult prevalence of 0.33%, has been flagged for urgent improvement, particularly in ensuring that those diagnosed are started on and retained in treatment.As part of a focused strategy, seven districts in Delhi—North, New Delhi, Shahdara, Central, South East, South and North West—have been identified for intensified interventions and close monitoring.Addressing officials, Dr Rakesh Gupta, Additional Secretary and Director General, National AIDS Control Organisation (NACO), said stronger coordination at the district level is critical to bridging gaps in the HIV care continuum, from testing to treatment and viral suppression.Experts say the gap in Delhi is not due to lack of facilities but challenges in linking patients to care and retaining them in treatment. “Delhi’s current treatment coverage of around 70% does not point to a lack of hospitals or medical expertise. Instead, it reflects a last-mile gap in the HIV care continuum where patients are diagnosed but may not be seamlessly linked to treatment, or struggle to remain engaged in long-term care,” said Dr Neeraj Nischal, Prof of medicine at AIIMS.Delays in starting therapy, stigma, treatment interruptions and the realities of a highly mobile urban population continue to limit progress. Strengthening early initiation of treatment, better patient tracking across facilities and more flexible care models—especially for migrant populations—could help close the gap.He also emphasised the need for portable treatment systems, including a unified patient database, multi-month dispensing of medicines and community-based distribution to ensure continuity of care for people who frequently move for work. The focus, he noted, must shift from a static, facility-based approach to a more patient-centric system that supports continuity of care.Haryana, in comparison, has shown relatively better outcomes with a treatment cascade of around 81:83:95, though further improvements are needed.Nationwide, 219 districts have been identified as priority areas for intensified HIV/AIDS interventions, including 11 in Haryana and 7 in Delhi.The government is working towards the global 95-95-95 targets and is now pushing for an enhanced 95-95-99 goal, with an aim to bring HIV/AIDS under control by 2027.Officials also stressed the need to eliminate mother-to-child transmission through timely testing and treatment.About the AuthorAnuja JaiswalAnuja Jaiswal is a Senior Assistant Editor at The Times of India, with an impressive 18-year career in narrative journalism.

– NEW DELHI:In a move that could ease anxiety for thousands of medical aspirants, the National Medical Commission (NMC) has allowed newly approved super-specialty postgraduate seats to be included in counselling without waiting for final approval letters.For students, this means faster counselling, fewer delays and better clarity on available seats.The regulator has said that seats cleared by its First Appeal Committee will be treated as valid for the ongoing counselling process, removing a key procedural hurdle that often slows down admissions.The decision comes at a crucial stage of the admission cycle, when delays in approvals typically hold up seat allocation and leave candidates uncertain about their options.Under the new direction, counselling authorities can now include these seats directly based on the approved list, instead of waiting for formal Letters of Permission (LoPs) from institutions.The order follows appeals filed by medical colleges against earlier seat allocations, which were reviewed and cleared by the First Appeal Committee under provisions of the NMC Act.The seats cover high-demand super-specialties such as cardiology, neurology, nephrology, urology and gastroenterology, across medical colleges in several states.The NMC has directed all state authorities and counselling bodies, including the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC), to update their seat matrix and proceed with admissions, ensuring that the counselling process continues without procedural hold-ups.About the AuthorAnuja JaiswalAnuja Jaiswal is a Senior Assistant Editor at The Times of India, with an impressive 18-year career in narrative journalism.

– NEW DELHI:In a move that could ease anxiety for thousands of medical aspirants, the National Medical Commission (NMC) has allowed newly approved super-specialty postgraduate seats to be included in counselling without waiting for final approval letters.For students, this means faster counselling, fewer delays and better clarity on available seats.The regulator has said that seats cleared by its First Appeal Committee will be treated as valid for the ongoing counselling process, removing a key procedural hurdle that often slows down admissions.The decision comes at a crucial stage of the admission cycle, when delays in approvals typically hold up seat allocation and leave candidates uncertain about their options.Under the new direction, counselling authorities can now include these seats directly based on the approved list, instead of waiting for formal Letters of Permission (LoPs) from institutions.The order follows appeals filed by medical colleges against earlier seat allocations, which were reviewed and cleared by the First Appeal Committee under provisions of the NMC Act.The seats cover high-demand super-specialties such as cardiology, neurology, nephrology, urology and gastroenterology, across medical colleges in several states.The NMC has directed all state authorities and counselling bodies, including the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC), to update their seat matrix and proceed with admissions, ensuring that the counselling process continues without procedural hold-ups.About the AuthorAnuja JaiswalAnuja Jaiswal is a Senior Assistant Editor at The Times of India, with an impressive 18-year career in narrative journalism.

Rajnath Singh Guwahati: Defence minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday said the BJP-led govt had accelerated “unprecedented development” in Assam by restoring peace, claiming more than 7,500 militants had laid down arms and returned to the mainstream.Addressing a rally in Tezpur for Asom Gana Parishad candidate Prithiraj Rabha, Singh said Centre’s policies had weakened militancy, terrorism and naxalism across the country. AGP is contesting the assembly polls as part of the BJP-led coalition.“Whether it’s terrorism, naxalism or militancy, all these are heading towards the end under Modi govt. More than 7,500 militants have laid down arms and returned to the mainstream in the state,” Singh said, adding that the development seen under Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma had been “magical”. He also praised efforts to free land from encroachers.Attacking Congress, he accused the party of neglecting Assam and doubting its potential. Referring to criticism of projects such as the Rs 27,000-crore semiconductor plant at Jagiroad, he said Congress netas had mocked BJP’s development agenda. He criticised Congress’ Priyank Kharge over remarks questioning the plant. “Congress has abused the talent of Assam’s youth,” Singh added.On illegal immigration, he said, “No illegal infiltrator will be able to stay in Assam.”Later, at a rally in Dergaon for BJP candidate Mridul Dutta, Singh said Congress had given Assam “stepmotherly treatment”, keeping it distant from Delhi, which led to its rejection by voters.About the AuthorKangkan KalitaKangkan Kalita is a reporter with The Times of India and covers issues on health, education, stories of human interest while keeping a close watch on political developments and student movements.

Humayun Kabir (PTI file photo) NEW DELHI: Aam Janata Unnayan Party chief Humayun Kabir has accused West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee of ignoring Muslim voters while favouring Hindus through temple construction.“Mamata Banerjee takes Muslim votes and builds temples after becoming Chief Minister three times. She builds Jagannath Dham, and in Rajarhat, she is also building a Durga temple by taking Muslim land. When she does things for Hindus, won’t I work for Muslims?” Kabir told ANI.Kabir, who was expelled from the Trinamool Congress after proposing to build the Babri Masjid in Murshidabad, formed the Aam Janata Unnayan Party to contest elections in West Bengal. He recently joined hands with AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi as part of their campaign against the TMC and BJP.“We won’t let Mamata Banerjee come back to power. She is distributing Rs 1,500 under the ‘Lakshmir Bhandar’ scheme; I promise to give women Rs 3,500,” Kabir said, signalling a larger outreach to Muslim voters.Speaking at a press conference earlier, Owaisi outlined the alliance’s strategy, saying their main goal was to build independent political leadership for Muslims in the state. “Our attempt is that a leadership from the Muslim minority emerges and strengthens in this election in West Bengal. We have decided the number of seats we will contest. This alliance is not limited to just this election, but it will be taken forward to achieve our political objective,” he said.Owaisi also highlighted development concerns in areas where Muslims lack political representation. “I believe, and government data from West Bengal, the Government of India, and NSSO confirms, that regions where the Muslim minority lacks independent political leadership have very poor social, economic, and human development indicators. There is an organic connection between development and independent leadership,” he added.Humayun Kabir has announced that his party will contest 182 seats in the 2026 West Bengal Assembly elections, with around eight seats allocated to AIMIM. The elections will be held in two phases on April 23 and April 29, with votes counted on May 4.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.

– NEW DELHI: Air travellers should get ready for a major hike in airfares. Jet fuel prices have been more than doubled for April following the Iran war, dealing a deadly blow to Indian carriers. Oil PSUs early on Wednesday morning announced aviation turbine fuel (ATF) pricing for April, with the same for domestic flights increasing by about 115% and that for international flights by about 107%. The rupee touching new life lows on a daily basis adds to airlines’ burden as most of there costs are dollar-denominated.Domestic ATF pricing: A kilo litre (KL or 1,000 litres) of ATF in India’s busiest aviation hub Delhi’s IGIA will now cost Rs 2,07,341.22 — up 114.5% from Rs 96,638.14 last month — for domestic flights. This is the first time the price of this refined kerosene meant to ensure aircraft defy gravity has defied gravity by crossing the Rs 2-lakh mark in Delhi, Kolkata, and Chennai. India’s second busiest hub, Mumbai’s CSMIA, will see the price hiking 115% from Rs 90,451.87 last month to Rs 194,968.67 in April.ATF pricing for international flights: ATF pricing has crossed the ,000-mark for the first time in India for these flights by Indian carriers. A kilo litre of ATF for international flights will now cost ,690.81 in Delhi — up 107% from 6.91 last month. Mumbai pricing and hike is almost the same. At ,727.3, Kolkata will see the highest price — up 102% from last month’s 5.25. With the rupee at record low, the pricing will pinch even more.In April and May 2024, ATF price for international flights was over 0. But at that time, the dollar-rupee exchange rate was at 83-84 levels. Now it is at a record low of over 95.What it means for airlines’ cost structure: Even before the anticipated hike in India which is a fallout of the Iran war and on similar lines with what has happened in most other countries, ATF for domestic flights was one of the most expensive globally in India. Jet fuel accounted for 40%—45% of airlines’ total operating costs. This percentage will now change majorly and make operations unviable for weak players.What airlines will do: Airlines will hike fares to reflect the increased operating costs. This will have an impact in demand and leading to cutting of flights. Airlines are watching each route closely to see if operating that makes economic sense or not. IndiGo, Air India group, Akasa are among the airlines that had last month imposed or hiked fuel surcharge which now range from Rs 150 to 0. Now the same may be revised. The fare cap of Rs 18,000 for domestic flights was removed on March 21, 2026. Since airlines have not got any fiscal relief on ATF excise (from Centre) or VAT (from some places like Delhi and Mumbai), they had categorically asked the govt to cap airfares only if their costs can be similarly capped too.Air India CEO Campbell Wilson had last month said in a mail to employees that “the financial impact of (Iran war) crisis is yet to be fully felt, as although the spot price of jet fuel has more than doubled, most of the impact will only hit us from next month.” He had warned escalating operating costs may force more airlines to cut flights “depending on how fuel costs, airfares and customer demand moves.” The rupee touching new life-lows on a daily basis adds to the dollar-denominated costs of airlines, including fuel for international flights of Indian carriers. On top of that routes to and from the west have become much longer.While airlines have introduced or hiked fuel surcharge, Wilson had said “not every customer is willing to pay higher airfares so there is a limit to how high we can price before demand drops. Additionally, given economic uncertainties, it is not certain that customers or companies will be as willing to travel as they were prior to the conflict, and may choose to stay put for a while.”“There will be pockets of new demand, such as we’re seeing on – and deploying additional flights to -some Europe and North America cities, but already airlines in some parts of the world are reducing some flights due to high fuel prices. Depending on how fuel costs, airfares and customer demand moves, we may also have to adjust,” Wilson had said.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaPhotostoriesThink your liver is safe because you don’t drink?

– NEW DELHI: Air travellers should get ready for a major hike in airfares. Jet fuel prices have been more than doubled for April following the Iran war, dealing a deadly blow to Indian carriers. Oil PSUs early on Wednesday morning announced aviation turbine fuel (ATF) pricing for April, with the same for domestic flights increasing by about 115% and that for international flights by about 107%. The rupee touching new life lows on a daily basis adds to airlines’ burden as most of there costs are dollar-denominated.Domestic ATF pricing: A kilo litre (KL or 1,000 litres) of ATF in India’s busiest aviation hub Delhi’s IGIA will now cost Rs 2,07,341.22 — up 114.5% from Rs 96,638.14 last month — for domestic flights. This is the first time the price of this refined kerosene meant to ensure aircraft defy gravity has defied gravity by crossing the Rs 2-lakh mark in Delhi, Kolkata, and Chennai. India’s second busiest hub, Mumbai’s CSMIA, will see the price hiking 115% from Rs 90,451.87 last month to Rs 194,968.67 in April.ATF pricing for international flights: ATF pricing has crossed the $1,000-mark for the first time in India for these flights by Indian carriers. A kilo litre of ATF for international flights will now cost $1,690.81 in Delhi — up 107% from $816.91 last month. Mumbai pricing and hike is almost the same. At $1,727.3, Kolkata will see the highest price — up 102% from last month’s $855.25. With the rupee at record low, the pricing will pinch even more.In April and May 2024, ATF price for international flights was over $900. But at that time, the dollar-rupee exchange rate was at 83-84 levels. Now it is at a record low of over 95.What it means for airlines’ cost structure: Even before the anticipated hike in India which is a fallout of the Iran war and on similar lines with what has happened in most other countries, ATF for domestic flights was one of the most expensive globally in India. Jet fuel accounted for 40%—45% of airlines’ total operating costs. This percentage will now change majorly and make operations unviable for weak players.What airlines will do: Airlines will hike fares to reflect the increased operating costs. This will have an impact in demand and leading to cutting of flights. Airlines are watching each route closely to see if operating that makes economic sense or not. IndiGo, Air India group, Akasa are among the airlines that had last month imposed or hiked fuel surcharge which now range from Rs 150 to $200. Now the same may be revised. The fare cap of Rs 18,000 for domestic flights was removed on March 21, 2026. Since airlines have not got any fiscal relief on ATF excise (from Centre) or VAT (from some places like Delhi and Mumbai), they had categorically asked the govt to cap airfares only if their costs can be similarly capped too.Air India CEO Campbell Wilson had last month said in a mail to employees that “the financial impact of (Iran war) crisis is yet to be fully felt, as although the spot price of jet fuel has more than doubled, most of the impact will only hit us from next month.” He had warned escalating operating costs may force more airlines to cut flights “depending on how fuel costs, airfares and customer demand moves.” The rupee touching new life-lows on a daily basis adds to the dollar-denominated costs of airlines, including fuel for international flights of Indian carriers.

. NEW DELHI: The Centre has moved to extend its digital media rules to news and current affairs content shared by non-publisher users on social media platforms, proposing changes that expand the reach of Part III of the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021, beyond registered publishers.In draft amendments issued on March 30, the ministry of electronics and information technology (MeitY) has invited stakeholder comments till April 14, signalling a move to strengthen compliance requirements for intermediaries and expand oversight of online content.A key proposal seeks to make it clear that Part III of the Rules — applicable to digital news publishers — will also apply to “news and current affairs content” shared on social media by users who are not registered publishers.While the draft itself focuses on clarifying applicability and strengthening oversight mechanisms, officials indicated the framework could enable action on such content through the existing grievance redress process overseen by the Inter-Departmental Committee, though the draft does not spell out specific actions.It also proposes changes under Part II, including the insertion of a new Rule 3(4), which requires intermediaries to follow government-issued advisories, directives and guidelines as part of their legal responsibilities under Section 79 of the IT Act. It further states that platforms must retain user data as required under the Rules.The draft also expands the role of the Inter-Departmental Committee under Rule 14, allowing it to examine not only complaints from users but also cases referred directly by the government.The ministry, in its notice, said the amendments were intended to ensure “an Open, Safe, Trusted and Accountable Internet” and to “strengthen compliance with clarifications, advisories and directions issued by the ministry”, while improving how digital content is regulated.Governement has described the proposed changes as “clarificatory and procedural”, aimed at furthering legal certainty and strengthening the enforceability of its directives.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosHow An Indian LPG Tanker Took An Unusual Route To Escape Strait Of HormuzTrump Ready To End Iran War Despite Hormuz Blockade?; Iran’s Oil Revenues Soar Thanks To Trump’s War’India’s Silence Helpful To US, Israel And Gulf States’: Former Deputy NSA Pankaj Saran On Iran WarBig April Financial Reset: New Rules For UPI, ATM, PAN, FASTag, Railway Booking To Impact Daily Life’Like Political Vultures’: PM Modi Slams Congress For ‘Spreading Fear’ Amid West Asia CrisisFallen Leaves To Cooking Fuel: IIT Bombay Develops Indigenous Technology To Tackle LPG Crisis‘One Roti’ For Survival?

. NEW DELHI: IndiGo on Tuesday named DG of International Air Transport Association (IATA) and former British Airways (BA) chief William Walsh as its new CEO.Airline promoter and MD Rahul Bhatia had assumed charge as CEO in the interim after Pieter Elbers’ resignation last month with immediate effect. Elbers, then KLM president and CEO of KLM, was brought to IndiGo about four years ago to expand its international footprint. While the foreign footprint expanded substantially following the Dec schedule collapse, Elbers put in his papers.
