What is missing, and what each jurisdiction owes the other, is the willingness to use them together rather than one at a time: a forfeiture order in one country acted upon promptly by a registry in another, an intelligence tip followed through to an actual freeze rather than left to gather dust,” he further added.India had initiated processes for extraditions of Vijay Mallya with the UK authorities in 2017 and Nirav Modi with the US in 2018.None of them has fructified in extradition of the two, accused of misappropriating huge sums and fleeing the country.Get the latest India News and Live updates.

NEW DELHI: For men, type 2 diabetes more often sets the stage for heart and kidney disease; for women, the greater threat appears to be mental health problems, a new study tracking nearly 29,000 patients has found.The study, published in PLOS Medicine, followed 28,720 people newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes between 2010 and 2020 using linked primary and secondary healthcare records in the UK. Researchers used a multi-state analysis to track the order and timing of hypertension, cardiovascular disease, end-stage renal disease and mental health conditions over a median follow-up of 6.8 years. Women were more likely than men to be diagnosed with a mental health condition.Women were more likely than men to be diagnosed with a mental health condition, including anxiety, depression or somatoform disorders, after developing diabetes. Such conditions were recorded in 8.1% of women compared with 5.3% of men.Men, meanwhile, were more likely to develop cardiovascular disease or end-stage renal disease, with 8.4% following this trajectory compared with 5.3% of women.Mental health risks are higher for women with diabetes as compared to menSenior endocrinologist Prof Ravinder Goswami of All India Institutes of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) said diabetes can affect men and women differently. Men may develop diabetes at a younger age, while women with diabetes lose the natural protection against heart disease that is usually seen before menopause. The study also found that women with diabetes may have a higher risk of problems related to memory, thinking and mental health.However, he cautioned that these problems may not be caused by diabetes alone, as cognitive and neuropsychiatric problems are generally more common in women. He said doctors should, therefore, watch for these issues while managing diabetes.Hypertension was the most common complication after type-2 diabetes across all age groups and in both sexes. It affected 21.1% of men and 20.2% of women. Men also experienced most complications earlier than women, while women generally had a later onset of events.The study linked diabetes, mental health and mortality, finding that people who developed a mental health condition after diabetes died earlier. Among those with the same disease trajectory, men died on average nine years younger than women.Despite this, women had higher average healthcare utilisation and long-term prescribing than men. The researchers said the lower healthcare use among men in the high-risk mental health trajectory could point to gaps in engagement with healthcare services.Join conversationView All Comments →Share your thoughts in the commentsInsightfulAgreeDisagreeSkepticalConcerningPromisingWorth ReadingBig DevelopmentPost CommentBe respectful · TOI community guidelinesThe findings point to the need for sex-specific diabetes care, including routine mental health screening, particularly for younger women, and earlier cardiovascular and kidney monitoring for men.The researchers further added that tracking the sequence and timing of complications could help identify patients at higher risk and enable earlier intervention. However, as an observational study, the findings cannot establish cause and effect, and differences in mental health diagnoses may partly reflect healthcare-seeking behaviour.Get the latest India News and Live updates.

The technology will be used for every major layer of highway, including embankment (raised earth foundation), subgrade (compacted soil base) and Granular Sub-Base (GSB) — the first layer of crushed stone, sand and gravel laid over the compacted soil before the road surface is built.The move is aimed at improving construction quality and ensuring roads are built with greater accuracy and uniformity. AI-MC is a construction technology with on-board computers and sensors on heavy machinery such as graders, pavers, compactors and dozers. Deployment of AI-MC aims to improve the quality, durability and transparency of road construction by replacing manual monitoring with technology-driven, real-time execution and quality control.TOI has learnt that though AI-MC was first deployed during construction of Lucknow-Kanpur Expressway, it was not used on the entire stretch and at all grades.Officials said the move is designed to minimise human errors, ensure uniform construction standards and generate digital records of every stage of construction, from earthwork to pavement laying. “The new norms make it mandatory to share real-time data with NHAI officials.

Once the contractor gets real-time data, there will be hardly any scope for sub-contractors to cut corners,” said an official.Some of the industry players in AI-MC segment said that contractors are reluctant to share real-time data with NHAI and other highway construction agencies as this makes them accountable. “Unless NHAI and other agencies get the data in real time, the impact of using the technology will be negligible. It must not be used in a piecemeal way if govt is serious about putting things in order,” said one of them.Get the latest India News and Live updates.

Alongside the narrow streets, Lucknow has also received an outer ring road, similar to the Kisan Path.

I extend my gratitude to the Central Command for its full cooperation with the state government in ensuring the river’s cleanliness and maintaining its continuous, pristine flow. These efforts are driving the initiative forward on a war footing.”Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, who was also present at the event, credited Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath for the pace of development in Lucknow and Uttar Pradesh.”I can say about Lucknow that I see the speed and progress of Lucknow linked to the speed and progress of entire Uttar Pradesh. And I have no hesitation in saying that whatever has been possible in Lucknow, whatever rapid development has taken place in Lucknow, the biggest contribution that has been received is from the illustrious Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Shri Yogi Adityanath ji,” he said.Rajnath Singh added,”I want to say this much, whatever he said, he did it. If any of our representatives here had gone and said something that, Chief Minister ji, this work should be done in Lucknow, the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh has whole-heartedly extended full support in it and from time to time he has also inspected it. I am happy that Uttar Pradesh government, Ministry of Defense and the industrial world, all of them are working together to carry forward this work of development.”Earlier in the day, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh laid the foundation stone for 12 important development projects costing Rs 101 crore in Lucknow Cantt.In a post on X, “Today, the foundation stone was laid for 12 important development projects costing ₹101 crore in Lucknow Cantt.

The RSS has never disavowed its key thinkers and writers. What do they say about Muslims and other minorities?”Owaisi referred to a biography of RSS founder K B Hedgewar, published by the RSS, to claim that Hedgewar had opposed the Congress’s emphasis on Hindu-Muslim unity.Quoting from the biography, Owaisi said, “Gandhiji worked constantly with one eye on Hindu-Muslim unity… But Doctorji sensed danger in that move. In fact, he did not even relish the newfangled slogan of ‘Hindu-Muslim Unity’.”The AIMIM chief also cited former RSS chief M S Golwalkar’s writings, referring to his book Bunch of Thoughts and its chapter titled ‘Internal Threats’.“Golwalkar’s ‘Bunch of Thoughts’ has a long chapter titled ‘Internal Threats’, in which Muslim and Christian citizens of India are described as threats number one and two, respectively,” Owaisi said.He also referred to Golwalkar’s statement that the Sangh was “inspired by one flag (saffron), one leader and one ideology”.Owaisi alleged that the RSS did not contribute to India’s freedom struggle and claimed that Hedgewar left the Congress because he opposed the participation of different religious communities in the anti-British movement led by Mahatma Gandhi.Owaisi also invoked the 2002 Gujarat riots while criticising the RSS, asking, “Should we forget what happened to the Muslims of Gujarat under the RSS’s proxy rule?”He alleged that Muslims and Christians continued to face discrimination and claimed that Muslims were being subjected to Hindu law in the name of the Uniform Civil Code, while Christians were being targeted through “draconian” anti-conversion laws.The AIMIM chief also raised concerns over the alleged misuse of laws such as the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA).Earlier on Saturday, addressing the ‘One World One Humanity’ event in New York, Bhagwat said different religions may follow different paths, but humanity and truth remain one. “We come from a society that believes humanity is one,” he said.“If any Hindu thinks that there should be no Muslim in Bharat, he will not remain Hindu. If you want to call yourself Hindu, you must believe that all paths are leading to the same goal and that every human has dignity. There is no difference between human beings,” Bhagwat had added.Bhagwat also used the occasion to speak about perceptions of the RSS. He said the organisation was often viewed through narratives that, in his view, did not reflect its work on the ground.Join conversationView All Comments →Share your thoughts in the commentsInsightfulAgreeDisagreeSkepticalConcerningPromisingWorth ReadingBig DevelopmentPost CommentBe respectful · TOI community guidelines”There are many perceptions created by wrong narratives.
