This should mandate fixed rest periods and monitored duty rosters, with oversight mechanisms to prevent violations.Drawing a parallel with aviation safety norms, the committee said healthcare must adopt similar fatigue management standards to reduce the risk of errors. “Safety-critical professions like civil aviation enforce strict duty hours to prevent fatigue-induced accidents,” the report noted, arguing that patient care demands comparable safeguards. The recommendation comes amid growing concern over long, unregulated shifts in teaching hospitals, where residents often work extended hours with limited rest. The panel warned that such conditions not only increase the likelihood of clinical mistakes but also contribute to burnout and mental health stress among young doctors.The issue has also been flagged by doctors’ groups. In a representation to the health ministry, the United Doctors Front (UDF) pointed out that existing norms under the Uniform Residency Scheme, 1992 already cap work at 48 hours a week and not more than 12 hours per shift, but these are widely flouted across institutions. The group has urged the government to issue binding instructions and create accountability mechanisms, including a high-level review to align medical duty hours with global safety standards.The committee’s observations gain urgency against the backdrop of rising concern over mental health issues among medical students and residents, with recent reports highlighting high stress levels and burnout.The panel has made it clear that regulating doctors’ duty hours is not just a labour issue but a patient safety imperative, and called for enforceable, monitored standards rather than advisory norms.About the AuthorAnuja JaiswalAnuja Jaiswal is a Senior Assistant Editor at The Times of India, with an impressive 18-year career in narrative journalism.

Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif’s ‘draft’ blunder on X over US-Iran ceasefire deal ‘Big money will be made’, says Trump after Iran ceasefire deal DEHRADUN: A 29-year-old man from J&K’s Baramulla district was allegedly detained by “authorities in Saudi Arabia” after he was picked up on March 25 from a health facility in Dammam, where he used to work as a ‘nurse specialist’, over a “social media post on Iran’s late supreme leader”. Incidentally, days later, Amjad Ali Bhat’s family back home in Kashmir is still struggling to know his whereabouts and has contacted embassies and govt authorities.“We only came to know about his detention when we called his contact number on March 25. It was attended by his colleague and roommate from Tamil Nadu who told us that Amjad was on his day shift at the workplace when he was picked up by ‘local authorities’,” Amjad’s elder sister, Shahida, told TOI on Tuesday.Amjad had gone to Saudi last June to join a company in Dammam. His father, Ghulam Ali, said: “Amjad’s colleague claimed that the ‘authorities’ didn’t cite any reason behind his detention nor informed him about the charges. They didn’t share the whereabouts of the detention centre or police station. We have absolutely no information about him now and are worried amid the West Asia crisis.”Ali said that “after checking his social media, we suspect that he was detained due to a post uploaded by him on his Facebook account on late Khamenei on March 3”. TOI has received a screenshot of the post.”Our family had written to the embassy of India in Riyadh and the embassy of Saudi Arabia in Delhi,” Shahida said. The Indian embassy has replied stating that they have taken up their matter with Saudi authorities, she added. Response from the Saudi embassy in India is awaited.The family also submitted an application at the local police station and sought help from the J&K govt.Meanwhile, the embassy of India in Riyadh, in its reply on April 2, stated: “The matter has been taken up with the Saudi authorities concerned. The embassy is following it up. Will keep you informed of the developments.”Amid the family’s desperate efforts, the J&K Students’ Association (JKSA) has written to the ministry of external affairs on Monday.

Only God can tell how many parts they will be broken into. The Pakistani defence minister should not have issued such a provocative statement,” Rajnath said during a roadshow in Barrackpore, West Bengal. The Pakistan defence minister had recently stated that “if India tries to stage any false flag operation… we will take it to Kolkata.”Stepping up BJP’s attack over alleged illegal immigration, Rajnath claimed CM Mamata Banerjee was unwilling to stop infiltration due to votebank politics. “As far as infiltrators are concerned, I can say with confidence that Mamataji does not want to stop them because she sees them as her vote bank,” he said. “When I was home minister, we had asked for land so that fencing could be done by BSF along the border. But the land was not given. Only now has some land perhaps been given,” he said.Rajnath also sought to strike an emotional chord with Bengali voters by invoking the legacy of Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay, promising that a BJP govt in the state would turn the litterateur’s ancestral home into a world-class tourist destination. Through ‘Vande Mataram’, Bankim Babu transformed the geography of India into an emotional bond, he said. He said so-called secular elements fragmented ‘Vande Mataram’ and it continued to be sung in an incomplete manner. Leaders of TMC and the Communist party consistently ignored Bankim Babu’s legacy, but PM Modi has, for the first time, ensured that Bankim Babu’s legacy and ‘Vande Mataram’ receive due respect in the country.“Mamataji, I want to give you a suggestion. Do politics, but not the politics of appeasement. Politics should be based on justice and humanity, on justice and equality,” Rajnath said, spelling out TMC as ‘Total Misrule and Corruption’.Rajnath said while the entire country is progressing in terms of industry and investment, West Bengal has lagged behind. He mentioned that the people of West Bengal have made up their minds that in the elections, TMC will go and BJP will come. “Bahut hua joda ghas-phool, Bengal Maange kamal ka phool.”He criticised the CM’s statement that violence in Bengal is due to “Ram, Shyam, and Vam”, asserting that while it may be attributed to the Left, it cannot be linked to “Ram” and “Shyam”. The state govt has weakened the state’s economic condition to such an extent that Bengal’s share in the national economy, which was once around 10%, has now declined to just 6%.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosIndian Army Releases UAV And Loitering Munition Roadmap, Focus On Drone-Centric WarfareDelhi-Dhaka Ties Reset As Bangladesh FM Arrives In India; Focus On Border, Visa, Energy & TradeManipur Erupts Again After Deadly Blast Kills 2 Children; Curfew Imposed, Internet Shutdown’Avoid Military Areas, Stay Indoors’: India Issues Advisory For Indians In Iran As Tensions RiseManipur Erupts Again: Curfew, Internet Shutdown As Violence Returns Over Killing Of Two ChildrenTejas Back In Air After Setbacks, But Reliability And Delays Raise Fresh Questions’Target Of Akhand Bharat’: Pakistan Senator Sounds Alarm Over Growing India-UAE Ties’At The Behest Of Mamata’: BJP MP Nishikant Dubey’s Shocking Claim On Pakistan’s Kolkata ThreatIndia Seeks US Waiver On Chabahar Amid Conflict; Iran Envoy Hints At Key Port Revival After WarBJP Calls Kharge’s ‘Snake’ Remark Dangerous, Alleges Communal Provocation123PhotostoriesUric acid vs creatinine: What these kidney markers really reveal about your health7 high-protein vegetarian foods other than paneer6 quick blooming flowers to sow in April10 couple-inspired house name ideas that add a personal touchHow to make protein-rich Egg Poha for breakfast at home8 animals that shed their skin in the most surprising waysYou have heard of ‘good’ and ‘bad’ cholesterol: But what if that’s not the full story and you’re reading it wrong?5 cheapest Indian states to buy gold in 202610 short baby girl names inspired by beautiful flowersFrom Divyanka Tripathi to Karishma Tanna confirming their pregnancies to Surbhi Jyoti flaunting her baby bump; TV actresses who are all set to embrace motherhood123Hot PicksShreyas Iyer SisterUpdated IPL Points TablePurple cap winnerOrange cap winnerIPL Points TablePublic holidays April 2026Bank Holidays AprilTop TrendingTaylor Swift and Travis Kelce RelationshipIPL 2026Donald TrumpB V NagarathnaUS stocks todayIran AdvisoryCarlos AlcarazIPL Points TableSchool Holidays in AprilKarnataka 2nd PUC Exam Result Date Djb Je Nitcon Recruitment 2026: Delhi Jal Board JE recruitment 2026 last date today for 100 posts through NITCON; check details and direct link here Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney, Jacob Elordi attend ‘Euphoria’ Season 3 premiere; Sam Levinson remembers Angus Cloud and Eric Dane Kerala polls: 38% of candidates face criminal cases, 23% face serious charges From the brink to a breather: Trump’s Iran pivot buys time, not trust After February grounding, Tejas fleet set to fly again today | India News From poison to precision: Quadruple amputee archer Payal Nag’s electrifying story | More sports News Shifting formats in short time a challenge: Sai Sudharsan Emirates scheduled flight filed as charter, not allowed to overfly India till confusion sorted out UPSC ESE Mains 2026 schedule released at upsc.gov.in: Check date, shift-wise timings here RJ Balaji shares how Vignesh Shivan revealed his love for Nayanthara, says ‘My heart almost burst when he said yes’ Artemis II astronauts capture solar eclipse as they flew around far side of Moon; Mars spotted in frame ‘Not end of war’: Iran supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei cautions as Tehran agrees to two-week ceasefire with US Amjad Ali Bhat DEHRADUN: A 29-year-old man from J&K’s Baramulla district was allegedly detained by “authorities in Saudi Arabia” after he was picked up on March 25 from a health facility in Dammam, where he used to work as a ‘nurse specialist’, over a “social media post on Iran’s late supreme leader”.

Therefore, the prima-facie requirements for admitting this notice of Motion under the Judges (Inquiry) Act, 1968, have not been met,” Radhakrishnan added.The Chairman also cited the Supreme Court’s observations that “the founding fathers of the Constitution advisedly adopted cumbersome process of impeachment as a mode to remove a Judge from office for only proved misbehaviour or incapacity which implies that impeachment process is not available for minor abrasive behaviour of a Judge.”He further emphasised that the Constitution entrusts Parliament with an extraordinary power to initiate proceedings for removal of a person holding a high constitutional office.The notices submitted on March 12 to Rajya Sabha Chairman and Lok Sabha Speaker om Birla by opposition members seeking removal of Kumar as CEC, were rejected on Monday.In the order, Radhakrishnan gave a rebuttal to the opposition’s 7 charges against KumarOn the charge that the appointment of the CEC was “compromised and tainted as the constitutional validity of the selection process for his appointment” provided under the Chief Election Commissioner and Other Election Commissioners (Appointment, Conditions of Service and Term of Office) Act, 2023 is itself under challenge and pending consideration before the Supreme Court, Radhakrishnan noted that “these allegations, even if presumed to be factually correct, do not amount to any act of misbehavior attributable to the CEC.With regards to a statement allegedly made by CEC during a press briefing concerning allegations of irregularities in preparation of electoral rolls, the RS Chairman said that the allegations on their face do not appear to be falling within the meaning of ‘misbehaviour’ for seeking removal of the CEC.On the charge about “deliberate obstruction on investigation into electoral fraud”, the chairman said “it is evident that the issue concerning disclosure of electoral data in machine-readable format was considered by the Supreme Court, and the Election Commission had acted in due compliance with the directions issued therein.”As for the timing of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) in Bihar and exclusion of a large number of voters, Radhakrishnan said “it would be wholly inappropriate to treat issues currently under active judicial consideration as constituting evidence of misbehaviour” on the part of the CEC.On the charges related to the nationwide expansion of SIR and purported political consequences of such action, the RS Chairman said, the impugned assertions, being inherently speculative and conjectural, do not, prima facie, meet the threshold required to establish “misbehaviour”.Responding to the opposition’s allegations about contempt and non-compliance with the Supreme Court’s directions, the Chairman said, “any alleged deviation from such directions is appropriately addressed through the Court’s established contempt jurisdiction.”The opposition also alleged a failure on the part of the EC to maintain independence and constitutional fidelity following the appointment of Kumar as CEC. “In the absence of concrete particulars or substantiated evidence demonstrating deviation from constitutional or statutory obligations, such assertions fail in the test of prima facie instance of “misbehaviour”,” the RS Chairman stated.Meanwhile, TMC’s Derek O’Brien said opposition parties are in touch over the rejection of the notices and will put forth their point of view in day or two.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosManipur Erupts Again After Deadly Blast Kills 2 Children;

Twitch YouTube and Kick rival collapses after eight years leaving creators confused NEW DELHI: Lok Sabha speaker and Rajya Sabha chairman have rejected the opposition’s notice for a motion for the removal of chief election commissioner Gyanesh Kumar after a “careful and objective assessment of all relevant aspects and issues involved”, a move bound to deepen acrimony between the governing NDA and its opponents amid their campaign blitzkrieg for five assembly polls.As many as 130 LS and 63 RS members — more than required under rules — from opposition parties had filed the notice on March 13 in their respective Houses, seeking Kumar’s ouster for his alleged partisan and discriminatory conduct, especially in the SIR drive.An LS bulletin said, “After due consideration of the notice of motion and a careful and objective assessment of all relevant aspects and issues involved therein, the speaker (Om Birla) in exercise of powers vested to him under section 3 of the Judges (Inquiry) Act, 1968, has refused to admit the said notice of motion.”RS issued a similar bulletin on behalf of chairman C P Radhakrishnan. Though the bulletin did not specify the ground for rejection, officials said it is a common practice.The notice, signed by opposition INDIA bloc members and some other BJP rivals like AAP had the requisite support — which is at least 100 LS and 50 RS MPs.Parliament is set to meet on April 16 for three days to take up bills related to implementation of women’s reservation in LS and state assemblies from the 2029 general polls, and rejection of the opposition’s move against the CEC is expected to trigger a fresh round of clash between the two sides.While Congress’s Jairam Ramesh in a cryptic post said, “We know what happened to the last RS chairman who accepted a petition moved by opposition MPs”, TMC’s Derek O’ Brien said, “Ah! I told you so. Notice to remove CEC ‘Vanish Kumar’ by RS MPs rejected. Reason? No reason given. BJP keep mocking our great Parliament.”If opposition parties, especially TMC that was at the forefront of rallying support for the notice, raise the issue in their poll campaign to press their claim of constitutional institutions having been allegedly compromised under BJP, the governing party will flag the issue as an endorsement of CEC’s functioning from Parliament’s presiding chairs.After Congress had led a move to file a notice for Birla’s removal, which was admitted and defeated by voice vote in LS, TMC was believed to have nudged the main opposition party to join it in making a similar move against Kumar.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosManipur Erupts Again After Deadly Blast Kills 2 Children; Curfew Imposed, Internet Shutdown’Avoid Military Areas, Stay Indoors’: India Issues Advisory For Indians In Iran As Tensions RiseManipur Erupts Again: Curfew, Internet Shutdown As Violence Returns Over Killing Of Two ChildrenTejas Back In Air After Setbacks, But Reliability And Delays Raise Fresh Questions’Target Of Akhand Bharat’: Pakistan Senator Sounds Alarm Over Growing India-UAE Ties’At The Behest Of Mamata’: BJP MP Nishikant Dubey’s Shocking Claim On Pakistan’s Kolkata ThreatIndia Seeks US Waiver On Chabahar Amid Conflict; Iran Envoy Hints At Key Port Revival After WarBJP Calls Kharge’s ‘Snake’ Remark Dangerous, Alleges Communal ProvocationAssam Passport Row Turns Personal: Himanta Sarma Takes ‘Peda’ Jibe At Pawan Khera, Congress Responds’Pakistan Will Be Divided Into…’: Rajnath Singh’s Strong Response To Khawaja Asif’s Kolkata Threat123Photostories6 quick blooming flowers to sow in April10 couple-inspired house name ideas that add a personal touchHow to make protein-rich Egg Poha for breakfast at home8 animals that shed their skin in the most surprising waysYou have heard of ‘good’ and ‘bad’ cholesterol: But what if that’s not the full story and you’re reading it wrong?5 cheapest Indian states to buy gold in 202610 short baby girl names inspired by beautiful flowersFrom Divyanka Tripathi to Karishma Tanna confirming their pregnancies to Surbhi Jyoti flaunting her baby bump; TV actresses who are all set to embrace motherhoodWhy this is the only Indian dish among the 50 Best Bean Dishes in the World5 fun and unusual vacation ideas for the summer holidays in India123Hot PicksShreyas Iyer SisterUpdated IPL Points TablePurple cap winnerOrange cap winnerIPL Points TablePublic holidays April 2026Bank Holidays AprilTop TrendingTaylor Swift and Travis Kelce RelationshipIPL 2026Donald TrumpSheldon KeefeUS stocks todayIran AdvisoryCarlos AlcarazIPL Points TableSchool Holidays in AprilKarnataka 2nd PUC Exam Result Date
