After FSSAI order, Kenvue rebranded ORSL to eRZL and marketed it as new version of ORSL in violation of FSSAI order and Delhi High Court order, I have filed a Trade Mark objection to this rebranding(minor tweaking with everything else remaining the same). I have raised awareness that eRZL was not ORS, and that Sucralose containing drinks should not be given on a daily basis to children as per WHO conditional recommendation of 2023 and also as per various academies of Paediatrics . I have reached out to IAP president Dr Neelam Mohan that eRZL can still mislead ignorant parents, to ask Kenvue to rebrand eRZL not to look like ORSL which misled millions, and to ask Kenvue to not promote them as daily hydration drinks for children. Kenvue issued a public statement that their 'scientific drinks' were validated at PEDICON. KENVUE AND JOHNSON&JOHNSON PTE LTD sent me a notice accusing me of spreading unscientific information for commercial interests and views, threatening to put a defamation case against me.
I have once again asked the IAP leadership to
1. Ask Kenvue to rebrand eRZL to not look like ORSL
2. To ask Kenvue to not promote electrolyte drinks as daily hydration drinks for children
3. To condemn the notice issued to me by Kenvue and Johnson&Johnson Pte Ltd
4. To condemn the public notice issued by Kenvue that its scientific products were validated at PEDICON.

A phase started where most paediatricians were supporting the cause, but the committee formed by Dr Neelam Mohan issued a position statement on ORS and electrolyte drinks in which extra emphasis was put on the safety of Sucralose without talking about the other artificial sweeteners and without alerting the parents about the dangers of the long term effects of Sucralose like the risk of diabetes and related complications, clearly showing a conflict of interest(most IAP programmes are sponsored by Kenvue).
A phase started where paediatricians close to the leadership started spreading messages to malign my name. The biggest lie was that I had never reached out to the IAP before and that I am begging them for legal support now. I AM ABSOLUTELY NOT EXPECTING ANY LEGAL SUPPORT FROM THEM. I WAS MISQUOTED IN SOME NEWS THAT I RESIGNED BECAUSE I DIDN'T GET SUPPORT. I DID ASK THEM TO CONDEMN THE NOTICE SENT TO ME, BUT I RESIGNED BECAUSE COMPANY'S INTERESTS WERE BEING PRIORITIZED OVER CHILD SAFETY. I have each and every message and mail to all the leadership of state IAP, and to Dr Basvaraj(president 2024), Dr Vasant(president 2025), and Dr Neelam Mohan.

BASICALLY ANYTHING TO PULL ME DOWN AND TO LET THE CHILDREN SUFFER BECAUSE OF THE MISLEADING BRANDING AND MARKETING OF eRZL AS ORSL. IAP LEADERSHIP CAN'T LET GO OF THE FUNDS FROM KENVUE AND THE EB MEETINGS AT HOTELS AND ON CRUISES!

I will share with you the notice sent to me, the public notice issued by Kenvue, the IAP's position statement, and what Dr Neelam Mohan says whenever she is asked to ask Kenvue to rebrand eRZL so as not to look like ORSL, and whenever IAP leadership is requested to reach out to the Govt. to address the misbranding and misleading marketing.
Please read it and tell me if I can survive this and make it work, with 1.Kenvue still wanting to continue with the misleading branding and marketing
2. With the FSSAI giving permission to eRZL without a blink and not taking action inspite of the misleading marketing (violating the FSSAI order and the Delhi High Court 's order).
3. With the IAP leadership's position statement to suit Kenvue (inspite of the conflict of interest).

Will you continue to stand by me if KENVUE AND JOHNSON&JOHNSON PTE LTD PUT A CASE AGAINST ME? I STOOD UP FOR YOUR CHILDREN INSPITE OF THE CHARACTER ASSASSINATION, THREATS AND TROLLS! WILL YOU STAND UP FOR ME?

WILL YOU ATLEAST SHARE HOW YOUR CHILDREN WERE AFFECTED BECAUSE OF ORSL, AND HOW eRZL HAS THE POTENTIAL TO WREAK THE SAME HAVOC, AND TAG @narendramodi @MoHFW_INDIA @JPNadda

Such a beautiful message..😊

This is from Arunachal Pradesh! Posted last evening!
How long should it take for the FSSAI to implement it's orders?
You say!
Not a single kid should get hospitalized or die because of these misleadingly labelled drinks!
Fight! Fight! Fight!
@MoHFW_INDIA @fssaiindia @JPNadda @narendramodi

[Dr.Sivaranjini @dr_sivaranjani]

I thought for a moment that I don't have it any more in me, to fight! But when I saw the support coming from you all, I know I can continue to fight tooth and nail, with the support of Indians like you! Thank you! It means a lot for me, and for the children of this country! Delhi High Court has given only one weeks time for JNTL to give its representation to FSSAI, but that one week is done. The ball is now in FSSAIs court only! The matter is not subjudice anymore!
We all have to demand that nothing but WHO recommended formula ORS should be available in the pharmacies ever irrespective of the label, and that no label even if the drink is sold in supermarkets should have ORS on it!
@fssaiindia @MoHFW_INDIA @JPNaddaoffice @narendramodi

[Dr.Sivaranjini @dr_sivaranjani]

Sir, @narendramodi and @jpnaddaoffice @fssai @mohfw, it's a national shame that FSSAI has consented to the request by JNTL(the Indian subsidiary of Kenvue which is a spin off of Johnson and Johnson) for a stay order to dispose of it's stock of high sugar ORSL!
Sir, not only now, in future also, except WHO recommended formula ORS, no sachet or tetrapack should be allowed in the pharmacies(including online), hospitals, and schools, as far as rehydrating medicines are concerned. ORS should never be allowed to be used on the labels except for WHO Recommended Formula ORS even if these liquids are being sold in the supermarkets and quick commerce platforms only! Trusting that you will ensure the October 15th order is implemented with urgency!

#OPINION | Why a polarised Assam still bets on Dispur’s Dada

Interesting unbiased take from Kaushik Deka.
Incompetence or Conspiracy?;what Rahul said at his press conference is a stunning indictment of the Election Commission.

Five takeaways from Rahul Gandhi’s “atom bomb proof of vote chori” - India Today https://t.co/FCZ0LPiMZ2

[Kaushik Deka @KDscribe]

This woman was arrested for thrashing an 8-year-old boy who begged her not to bring her dogs into the lift because he was scared. How could she do that? No empathy for a frightened child? Compassion isn’t meant to be selective—you shower love on animals but lash out at a defenseless boy?

In India, the real problem isn’t dogs; it’s their irresponsible owners and so-called animal lovers. There’s an almost obsessive fixation with pets, to the point where they become aggressive toward anyone who doesn’t share their sentiment. Worse, many don’t even train their dogs properly, letting them become a menace to others. And then there are those who coddle stray dogs, making the situation worse.

In Indian villages, people generally know how to coexist with strays—at least, that’s how it was when I was growing up in Assam. Stray dogs were never the nuisance they have become today, and much of the blame lies with these fanatical, misguided animal lovers.

Elephants are highly intelligent and social animals, and their interactions with humans can significantly influence their behavior. Harassment or irritation by humans can lead to several behavioral changes in elephants in the subsequent days:

1. Increased Stress and Aggression
•Stress Indicators: Elephants subjected to human disturbances often exhibit signs of stress, such as increased tail swishing, head shaking, trumpeting, and mock charges.
•Elevated Stress Hormones: Research has shown that human disturbances can lead to elevated levels of fecal glucocorticoid metabolites (FGMs), indicating increased stress.

2. Memory and Retaliation
•Anticipatory Behavior: Due to their ability to remember past threats, elephants may exhibit defensive behaviors when encountering humans, even if no immediate threat is present.

3. Disruption of Normal Movement Patterns
•Avoidance Behavior: Elephants may alter their natural movement patterns to avoid areas where they have experienced harassment, potentially leading to habitat stress. For instance, exposure to human-generated noise has been observed to cause elephants to move further away from the source, indicating retreat behavior.

4. Impact on Group Dynamics
•Social Structure Disruption: Harassment of individual elephants can disrupt the social dynamics of the entire herd, leading to increased vocalizations and erratic group movements as they attempt to protect vulnerable members.

5. Long-Term Impact on Conservation
•Human-Elephant Conflict: Negative interactions with humans can lead to increased human-elephant conflict, making conservation efforts more challenging. Early trauma in elephants has been shown to alter their ability to assess threats, potentially leading to inappropriate responses to human presence.

Ethical Responsibility

Harassing elephants is not only unethical but also has tangible consequences on their well-being and behavior, posing risks to both animals and humans. Respecting wildlife and maintaining a safe distance is crucial for the well-being of these majestic creatures and for human safety.

So maybe it is fun for some but because of this behaviour others are in danger.

[Parveen Kaswan, IFS @ParveenKaswan]

Identify the animal in this video.

Maybe you are young and you can outrun the elephants. But these irritated animals don’t behave peacefully if they see other human for next few days. Don’t irritate wild animals for your fun.

Guwahati has developed fast in last 10 yrs, yet most high-end restaurants force you to buy bottled water claiming their ROs are malfunctioning. When asked how they run kitchens without filtered water, they say it comes from other sources. Happily spreading single use plastic.
