🚨 FOOD SAFETY IS A JOKE IN INDIA 🚨

Burger King 🍔 bacterial contamination found in mayonnaise.

KFC 🍗 food being fried in old/reused oil.

McDonald’s 🍟 synthetic/artificial colours in fried food items.

Pizza Hut 🍕 non-food-grade material/ingredients in sauce.

Domino’s 🍕 new sticker pasted over an expiry date.

Haldiram’s 🥣 use of inferior-quality oil in snacks.

If BIG FOOD CHAINS are like this, think about local shops and restaurants.

Indian farmers may grow world’s first gene edited rice variety this winter

ICAR is expected to sign a MoU this month with US-based Corteva, which holds the license for the CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing technology

The damages from gene editing will be irreversible and has been flagged already ! This cannot be allowed @icarindia @ChouhanShivraj

These two jungli badam trees are the pride and joy of Zigzag road, Pali Hill, Bandra W. Colour in autumn, shade in summer, shelter in rains. Today in the name of pruning, they have been reduced to two tall stumps.

Sarthak Goswami has brilliantly exposed how Ethanol production is ruining a beautiful city.

He went to Byrnihat to investigate why a city with less than one lakh people is more polluted than Delhi, Ghaziabad & Lahore.

The reason? There are more than 80 factories in a small area, that are constantly pumping dust particles in the air.

The worst part is that these factories are producing Ethanol, the same product that is being sold as a solution to pollution.

I hope Gadkari can explain this without calling Sarthak a traitor.

[Samip Rajguru @samiprajguru]

After E20 petrol was made compulsory... I want to know are we paying for 800ml of petrol and 200ml for ethanol...??? It seems like we are still paying for 100%petrol...if yes then its the biggest Scam India has probably ever seen....Just want to know because with ethanol blending prices should have dropped... @PetroleumMin

#WATCH | Bengaluru, Karnataka: Spiritual leader Sri Sri Ravi Shankar says, "From Rameshwaram to Kedarnath, Amarnath, Shiva stuti or Shiva devotion is so prevalent in this country from millions of years and today is a special day where people go deep within and forget about all other worries... and focus on the devotional aspect of life... After one thousand years, real pieces of Somnath, the real Jyotirlinga of Somnath ji is here. It is big luck for everyone to witness that... Spend more time in meditation, chanting, puja. All these activities will uplift our spirit..."

[Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar @Gurudev]

A historic moment as the 1,000-year-old sacred relics of the Somnath Jyotirlinga were brought to the sanctum sanctorum of the Rameswaram Jyotirlinga.

Priests from all 12 Jyotirlingas performed the Pradosh Puja with holy waters from their respective temples, witnessed by thousands.

Over 20 million people joined virtually and in person to recite the ancient Tamil hymn, Kolaru Pathigam, for the well-being of humanity.

@BJP4Delhi That’s right. We can all notice the change, its more polluted than ever 👏👏

[ANI @ANI]

#WATCH | Gurugram, Haryana: On the rise in air pollution, Chairman and Managing Director of Medanta—The Medicity, Dr. Naresh Trehan, says, "It is a major hazard from a healthwise... Many people have to be hospitalized due to this... This is a disaster in a way for humanity... The public health is at a very high risk right now... There is an increase in lung problems, asthma, strokes... The blame game should be stopped, and serious measures need to be taken... Cloud seeding will only succeed when the humidity in the environment is 60 and above... But why can't we stop the burning of the stubble... You (government) are saying that we can go on a war... but can't control this. This is a very disturbing statement... It is affecting everyone, so why blame anybody?"

@theskindoctor13 Don’t build in Delhi NCR.

[Arjun Tandon @iarjuntandon]

What Delhi Govt should’ve done at 500+ AQI:
- Enforce GRAP-4
- Issue health advisory
- Close schools
- Halt construction
- Implement odd-even

What Delhi Govt is actually doing:
- Sprinkling water near AQI stations
- Pretending all’s fine
- CM busy campaigning in Bihar
- Ministers petitioning to rename the city to Indraprastha

[THE SKIN DOCTOR @theskindoctor13]

One day of breathing Delhi’s winter air is equivalent to smoking 23–45 cigarettes.

Understand the scale: this is 23–45 cigarettes every single day for 3–4 months. Even for the rest of the year, people in Delhi NCR inhale pollution equal to around 5–8 cigarettes a day. This will have consequences.

In the short term, cough, throat irritation, breathlessness, eye irritation, wheezing, headaches, tiredness, and more frequent infections. And in the long term, chronic bronchitis, COPD, lung cancer, reduced lung capacity, early-onset asthma in children, etc.

What’s worse is that nothing substantive is happening, as if nobody cares. Yesterday, the Supreme Court also refused to urgently list the case. This angers only the 5% of people who pay taxes, follow rules, get very little in return, and still genuinely want India to do well. The rest are happy with free ration, free water, free electricity, free bus ride and free cash.

So in the short term, use an air purifier as much as you can, and in the long term, plan on settling outside NCR.

@Suhelseth The Milords’s lungs quite deserve this treatment, for the apathy that the citizens have been treated with. #delhipollution #AirPollution

[Sanket Upadhyay @sanket]

Have the Supreme Court milords given their ritualistic annual ‘innocuous’ comment on pollution yet?

The pravchan on how they feel the pollution inside the courtroom? The annual ‘notices to centre & state’ and adjourned till next hearing?

Let’s complete the loop, shall we?

@SauravDassss Unable to join this group. Could you pls check ?

[Divya @bajajdivya7]

@BJP4Delhi Data manipulation does not reflect actual figures. One has to be really foolish to think that you can get away with this, in the world of social media, where people themselves are displaying the reality check.
Either have some sense, or shame.
