Was interrogated by the waiting press, wanting to know if I would be going to Ayodhya on January 22. I told them I hadn’t been invited but I saw religion as a personal attribute and not one for political (mis)use.

I also pointed out that by making such a major news story of the event, which has been known about for some time already, the media was playing into the hands of those who want to milk political benefit from the Ram Mandir while distracting the public from their governance failures.

Temples are not the government’s business; unemployment, inflation, public welfare and national security are. But the media allows the temple to turn the focus away from those issues!

Approved the draft notification to mandate the installation of air-conditioning systems in the cabins of trucks belonging to categories N2 and N3.

Truck drivers play a crucial role in ensuring road safety. This decision marks a significant milestone in providing comfortable working conditions for truck drivers, thereby improving their efficiency and addressing the problem of driver fatigue.

We have foolishly equated health with medicine and increasingly ignored the need for disease surveillance,prompt reporting and preventive measures. The elitism of medical education and over emphasis on clinical teaching must change.

OPINION | India has lost a decade chasing multiple, and sometimes contradictory, economic goals. One hopes that confusion will end with this Budget, writes @khanamirullah.
