Associated District Hospital GMC Handwara without dialysis centre, people suffer
The absence of a dialysis centre at the Associated District Hospital, GMC Handwara has been causing immense hardships to patients. The residents said that since the hospital caters to patients from across the district, the lack of a dialysis centre has forced kidney patients to suffer unnecessarily. Since my father is suffering from kidney failure, I have to get his dialysis done every week by paying over Rs 2000 at a private dialysis centre at Sopore. Had there been a government sponsored dialysis centre in Handwara, I would not have to pay the amount, said a local. I am unable to figure out how a district hospital has been deprived of a dialysis centre. This tells about the callous attitude of authorities towards this health institution, he added. Apni Party leader Sofi Irfan said that patients suffering from kidney failure are facing severe hardships due to the absence of a dialysis centre at District Hospital (DH) Handwara. He said that officials at the Associated District Hospital, Government Medical College (GMC) Handwara had earlier assured that a dialysis centre would be established after the hospital was shifted to its new building. However, nearly two years have passed since the hospital was shifted to the new building, but the dialysis centre has yet to be established due to reasons best known to the authorities. Reacting to the concern Superintendent Associated District Hospital GMC Handwara Dr Aijaz Ahmad Bhat said that a dialysis centre already stands approved which will be installed soon.

Psychology says people who always stay enthusiastic and try to enjoy every moment of life aren't necessarily deeply happy. Constant positivity can sometimes hide anxiety, grief, fear or emotional discomfort. Psychology explains that avoiding negative emotions may prevent people from processing them.

Kejriwal claims Centre to blend ethanol in diesel; urges people to avoid buying new vehicles
New Delhi, Aug 06: Aam Aadmi Party national convenor Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday alleged that the Centre is planning to introduce ethanol blending in diesel and aviation turbine fuel (ATF), and urged people to avoid buying new vehicles for the next few years. In a post on X in Hindi, Kejriwal alleged the government planned to increase ethanol blending in petrol beyond 50 per cent after introducing E20 fuel. It seems they are going to adulterate petrol with more than 50 per cent. They are just waiting for the atmosphere to calm down. First, they forced E20 petrol into your E0 and E10 vehicles and wrecked them. Today, if you buy a new E20 vehicle, the government will force E50 petrol into it after a few days and damage it, Kejriwal said. Alleging that the government would soon blend ethanol in diesel as well, Kejriwal urged people to avoid purchasing new petrol and diesel vehicles for the time being. In another post, he claimed the Modi government was planning to blend ethanol in ATF. Sources indicate that the Modi government plans to mix ethanol in Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF). Experts say that this could seriously compromise the safety of flights, he said. Earlier this month, Kejriwal had written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi raising concerns over the rollout of E20 petrol. He had sought the availability of both pure petrol and E20 fuel at filling stations and demanded lower prices for ethanol-blended petrol.

Srinagar, Aug 5: The Jammu & Kashmir National Conference President Dr Farooq Abdullah has described August 5, 2019 as one of the darkest days in India's democratic history, saying the decisions taken on that day stripped Jammu & Kashmir of its constitutional guarantees, political identity and statehood. In a party press release, he said the people of Jammu & Kashmir have ejected the August 5 decisions from the very first day and continue to stand firmly against what he termed unilateral and unconstitutional measures. He asserted that the National Conference would continue its peaceful and democratic struggle for the restoration of the constitutional guarantees, democratic rights and full-fledged statehood of Jammu & Kashmir. Dr Farooq said the National Conference-led government reaffirmed its commitment by making it its first legislative priority to pass a resolution in the Legislative Assembly rejecting the August 5 decisions and seeking the restoration of Jammu & Kashmir's constitutional position and statehood. Launching a sharp attack on the BJP, Dr Farooq said that the party continues to promote proxy political formations to divide the people's mandate and weaken their collective voice. Referring to the 2014 Assembly elections, he said the National Conference had warned that the PDP's alliance with the BJP would prove detrimental to Jammu & Kashmir, ultimately culminating in the constitutional changes of August 5, 2019. He said the National Conference has a historic legacy of securing democratic rights and social justice for the people and reaffirmed that the party would never compromise on safeguarding Jammu & Kashmir's identity, dignity and constitutional rights. He appealed to the people to remain united and strengthen J&K National Conference to achieve the restoration of the rights taken away on August 5, 2019.
Psychology says people who like to do charity every now and then aren't always seeking praise or recognition.

Occasional giving can also be influenced by specific situations, relatable stories, social cues and the desire to respond to an immediate human need.
