The most expensive part of a hospital bill may never touch the hospital at all.
A patient admitted for care has no way of knowing whether the price on a medical consumable reflects its actual cost or a markup fixed long before it ever reached the ward. That gap in information is, at its core, a public health issue.
A survey of hospital consumables in Maharashtra found an IV infusion set with a trade price of ₹11.05 carrying a printed MRP of ₹325 ; a markup of 2,841%. A syringe procured at ₹6.75 carried an MRP of ₹57.20. A catheter procured at ₹29.41 carried an MRP of ₹310.
These are not elective purchases. Patients cannot compare prices, seek alternatives, or question a number printed on a box while receiving care and the MRP itself is often fixed upstream by manufacturers and distributors, disconnected from the trade price by a wide, unexplained margin. The result is a system where the party bearing the cost has the least information to evaluate it.
The regulatory gap is structural: scheduled medicines are capped under the Drugs (Prices Control) Order, 2013. Most medical devices and consumables are not leaving both the pricing and the information around it almost entirely unmonitored.
A review of these findings and clear guidelines on the permissible gap between trade procurement price and declared MRP have been recommended to the Department of Pharmaceuticals and the NPPA ; a step toward closing not just a pricing gap, but the information gap patients are left to bear alone.

India mein koi 5 minutes number Google kar le to doodh ka doodh paani ka paani ho jaye.
RBI surplus to Govt : ₹2.87 Lakh Crores (US$30 Bn)
Total listed bank profits : ₹4.11 Lakh Crores (US$42 Bn)
NPCI - which runs UPI pre tax ‘surplus’ : ₹ 1,888 crores (US$200 Mn)
To nuksaan kis ka ho raha hai UPI se aur kaunsi subsidy de rahi hai Govt UPI pe jo chubh rahi hai?
Cost of running ATMs and cash logistics in India is ₹30,500 crores (US$ 3.0 Bn). If you want to optimise shut ATMs and promote UPI instead.
Any levy on UPI is just tax collection. UPI is the one scientific achievement of India everyone acknowledges par ab tax ki bali chadhegi.

Galaxy S27 Ultra to Expand Inkjet Light Blocking Technology and Further Reduce Camera Module Thickness
According to ZDNet Korea, Samsung plans to expand the use of inkjet printing technology across multiple rear camera lenses on the Galaxy S27 Ultra. The technology was first mass-produced for the Galaxy S26 Ultra and is designed to optimize the internal light-blocking structure of camera lenses while further reducing the thickness of the camera module.
A smartphone camera lens usually consists of six to eight lens elements. In addition to the optical area responsible for image formation, each lens has an outer rib structure used for positioning and securing the elements. Some light entering at extreme angles can reflect off these areas, creating stray light that may lead to ghosting, flare, washed-out images and reduced contrast.
The traditional solution is to place black light-blocking films between lens elements to absorb unwanted reflections. This approach is mature and reliable, but the films, adhesive layers and assembly tolerances all occupy additional space. In a smartphone camera module only a few millimeters thick, even several dozen micrometers can be valuable.
Samsung’s new method uses inkjet equipment to print matte black light-absorbing material directly onto the outer rib surface of selected lens elements. This partially integrates the light-blocking function into the lens itself, allowing the distance between elements to be reduced. The result is a thinner module and more room for larger sensors, more complex optics and stronger optical image stabilization systems.
The Galaxy S27 Ultra will still retain conventional light-blocking films. According to the report, Samsung will apply the inkjet coating only to selected lens layers, while other areas will continue using the existing structure. This suggests a gradual introduction of the technology as Samsung balances thickness reduction, optical performance, manufacturing yield, cost and long-term reliability.
The technology may also improve night photography and backlit performance. Inkjet equipment can deposit light-absorbing material precisely on designated areas based on the shape of each lens, reducing internal reflections. However, ghosting and flare are also affected by lens coatings, optical path design, sensor surface reflections and the overall lens structure. Inkjet light blocking is one part of a much larger optical system.
Its greater significance lies in improving the efficiency of every millimeter inside the camera module. Modern flagship phones need larger sensors, stronger telephoto systems and more capable stabilization while still controlling body thickness, weight and camera protrusion. Simply increasing hardware size has become increasingly difficult, so future competition will focus more heavily on lens microstructures, light-absorbing materials, module stacking and precision manufacturing.
The amount of space saved by this inkjet process may appear small, but when combined with improvements in lens design, battery materials, structural components and stabilization systems, it can influence the thickness, camera specifications and internal layout of the entire phone.
By expanding this technology on the Galaxy S27 Ultra, Samsung is using more refined optical manufacturing techniques to create additional room for the next generation of Ultra-class imaging hardware and overall device design.

@DTDCIndia my shipment tracking number is D3006030785 and dtdc member unnao told me it will delivered to your destination on 3rd march but today is 5th of march but my shipment is still not delivered its stuck exact same location from 26 feb pls delivered it ASAP
@IndiaPostOffice my shipment is stuck on Kolkata transshipment center since 16/02/2016 and there is no any status update after that my tracking number is EU138003503IN and I called on toll free there was no any response pls forward my shipment ASAP
@SamsungIndia Please help me, my phone is locked and it contains very important data. I don't want to lose it. I tried several times to contact and I also sent a message, as per your demand but there was no response. @SamsungIndia@SamsungMobile@TRAI
