Delhi-NCR's toxic air may have role in gynaecological cancers, say experts
New Delhi, Oct 9: Long-term exposure to air pollution may have a role in development of gynaecological cancers, Delhi-NCR experts said, citing emerging research on the possible links between PM2.5 exposure, reproductive health and cancers of the female reproductive system. Experts explained that gynaecological cancers do not have a single cause, adding that environmental factors may contribute to the biological processes involved in cancer development. PM2.5 is of interest because prolonged exposure is associated with inflammation, oxidative stress and systemic biological effects, Dr Rama Joshi, gynae onco surgeon and chairman, Gynae Oncology and Robotic Surgery, Fortis Gurugram, said. She said recent studies have reported associations between air pollution and certain aspects of women's reproductive health, raising questions about whether environmental exposure may also have a role in the broader cancer-risk environment. She said an association between pollution exposure and cancer does not mean that pollution directly causes cancer, adding that such evidence in gynaecological cancers is still evolving and findings have not been uniform across studies. More India-specific data is needed before drawing conclusions about causation, she said. Women should focus on the risk factors that we already know can be modified or monitored. Maintaining a healthy weight, staying physically active, managing diabetes and other metabolic conditions, understanding family history and seeking timely evaluation for abnormal bleeding remain important. Environmental pollution is an additional concern that deserves further scientific investigation, Joshi said. The experts also referred to a recent India-wide study that examined the relationship between environmental exposure and reproductive health among Indian women. The study reported that women exposed to PM2.5 levels above 40 micrograms per cubic metre had 24 per cent higher odds of delayed menarche and a 23 per cent higher hazard of early menopause. The researchers analysed National Family Health Survey data along with satellite-derived PM2.5 estimates and other environmental indicators. The analysis included nearly 1.8 lakh women aged 15-24 for menarche and nearly 3 lakh women aged 30-49 for menopause, with stronger associations reported in northern India, including areas such as Delhi, Haryana, Punjab and parts of Uttar Pradesh. Such findings are adding to scientific interest in how prolonged exposure to air pollution may influence hormonal and reproductive pathways in women. Researchers are also examining whether biological effects associated with PM2.5, including chronic inflammation, oxidative stress and cellular damage, could potentially contribute to conditions affecting hormone-sensitive tissues and the female reproductive system. Endometrial cancer, which develops in the lining of the uterus, is strongly associated with established risk factors such as obesity, prolonged oestrogen exposure, diabetes, increasing age and certain genetic conditions. Ovarian cancer has a different set of risk factors, including age, family history and inherited genetic mutations. The possibility that chronic environmental exposure could add to these established risk factors is an area of growing scientific interest. Long-term exposure to fine particulate matter may have systemic effects beyond the lungs, potentially influencing inflammatory, hormonal and cellular processes that are relevant to cancer biology. The issue assumes greater relevance in Delhi-NCR, where women may be exposed to elevated PM2.5 concentrations repeatedly over many years. Fine particulate matter has been linked to inflammation, oxidative stress and other systemic effects, prompting scientists to examine whether these biological pathways could influence tissues beyond the lungs, including hormone-sensitive organs. Dr Joshi stressed that women should not interpret air pollution as a standalone cause of gynaecological cancer. Abnormal uterine bleeding, bleeding after menopause, unusually heavy or prolonged periods, persistent pelvic or abdominal discomfort, unexplained bloating and changes in urinary or bowel habits warrant medical evaluation, particularly when symptoms persist. With gynaecological cancers remaining an important health burden among women, experts said larger, long-term Indian studies involving Indian women are needed to further determine pollution as the important risk factor for gynaecological cancer. Dr Aditya Sarin, vice chairman, Medical Oncology, Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, New Delhi, said the emerging evidence provides a reasonable basis to consider air pollution as a potential contributing factor in the cancer-risk environment. Chronic exposure to PM2.5 can promote inflammation, oxidative stress and cellular changes, which are mechanisms relevant to cancer development. The emerging association with reproductive health makes it important to investigate whether prolonged pollution exposure may also contribute to gynaecological cancers. While causation is yet to be established, the signal is important and deserves further study, particularly in highly polluted regions such as Delhi-NCR, Sarin said.

'Mandaadi' OTT review: Sooris performance, intense boat scenes win praise
Digital Desk | Patna, Oct 9 (IANS) Candidates of the Bihar Police driver recruitment drive intensified their protest in Patna on Friday, demanding that more than 1,200 posts earmarked for women, which they claim have remained vacant, be filled with eligible male candidates from the respective categories. The candidates had planned to march towards the Chief Ministers residence to press their demands. However, police personnel intervened before the proposed march could begin. Barricades were erected at Gate No. 10, and a large number of security personnel were deployed inside Gandhi Maidan and the surrounding areas. The protesters alleged they had obtained permission to hold a peaceful sit-in, organise a Kalash Yatra and take out a march, but the administration prevented them from proceeding with their planned programme. According to the candidates, the protest was scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. with a sit-in at Gandhi Maidan, followed by a Kalash Yatra and a march from Gate No. 10 to Dakbungalow Crossing. The candidates said more than 1,200 posts reserved for women in the driver recruitment process had remained vacant. They urged the authorities to consider filling these vacancies with eligible male candidates from the respective categories in accordance with the applicable recruitment rules. They say that this would prevent the posts from remaining unfilled and provide employment opportunities to other qualified applicants. Radhe Shyam Kumar, one of the protesting candidates, said they had been staging a sit-in at Gardanibagh for several days. He described the difficulties of continuing the agitation, adding that his family had questioned why he was spending time protesting instead of studying. He maintained that candidates needed to raise their voices to secure their rights. He reiterated the demand that posts remaining vacant after the allocation of seats to female candidates should be considered eligible for male applicants. He also cited the recruitment process for Sub-Inspectors, arguing that a similar provision should be considered for the driver recruitment drive. Despite the police barricades and the deployment of security personnel, candidates continued to gather near Gate No. 10 of Gandhi Maidan. The protesters maintained that they intended to put forward their demands peacefully.

Opinion: Blog | Nana Patekar: The Voice That Spoke To Generations, From 'Prahaar' To 'Golmaal'
From Major Chauhan to Uday Shetty, Nana Patekar has left profound impact on generations of moviegoers. Here's a tribute to the versatile actor.
Digital Desk | Kolkata, Oct 9 (IANS) West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari said on Friday that the landslide margins with which the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidates are heading for victories in the bypolls in Nandigram and Rejinagar have proved that the people from the minority community in the state will no longer be misled by the malicious opposition campaign accusing the BJP of being a communal force. Although the final results for Nandigram and Rejinagar Assembly seats are yet to be declared, the lead margins of the BJP candidates from both constituencies clearly indicate their landslide victories that could increase the partys tally in the 294-seat Assembly to 209. Since the beginning, the opposition parties started a malicious campaign against us that will either send the minority voters to Bangladesh or will not allow them to practice their own religion. Now, in both seats -- Nandigram and Rejinagar -- this is the first time the BJP candidates have secured a majority of the votes in a number of polling booths overwhelmingly dominated by minority voters. This has proved that the majority of the minority voters have responded positively to our call for development for all. The minority voters in West Bengal, especially the Bengali-speaking Muslims, will no longer be misled by the malicious campaigns by the opposition against us, CM Adhikari said while addressing the media persons at the state secretariat of Nabanna. The Chief Minister also said that after witnessing the new state government's performance in its first five months, minority voters have realised that they have been misled by the opposition. Precisely that is why they voted for the BJP without any hesitation in the bypolls both in Nandigram and Rejinagar, said the Chief Minister. According to him, the minority women, who have benefited from the Annapurna Yojana, have specially voted for the BJP in the bypolls along with their family members. Speaking on the occasion, the Chief Minister also took a jibe at Aam Janata Unnayan Party (AJUP) founder-cum-legislator, Humayun Kabir. What he said against us on social media has been opposed mainly by the people from his own community. They now want to be with the government. As promised earlier, I once again assure the people of Rejinagar that overall development, like the new college, new bridge, upgrading of the hospital there and promotion of industries gradually will be done, the Chief Minister said.

Meanwhile, Pezeshkian told Putin that Iran would continue negotiations despite repeated attacks during previous rounds of engagement with the United States. We are in talks, but every time we engage in dialogue with America, they attack again; however, we will not withdraw from the negotiating table, Pezeshkian said, according to Iranian news agency ISNA. He said Iran had made proposals and the United States had also presented new proposals, which Tehran had revised. We had made proposals, and the Americans also presented new proposals that we have revised, and once they are finalized, we will sit down through intermediaries to wrap them up, Pezeshkian added. According to the official website of the Iranian President, the two leaders met on the sidelines of the Commonwealth of Independent States Summit and the Caspian Sea Environmental Summit in Turkmenistan. During the meeting, the two sides reviewed achievements in bilateral relations and discussed strengthening economic and strategic cooperation in key sectors, including energy, agriculture, transportation and trade. They also emphasised the need to accelerate the finalisation and completion of joint projects, along with their determination to expand comprehensive cooperation in line with the national interests of both countries and regional stability. The remarks come as on Thursday (local time) US President Donald Trump dismissed reports of possible fresh strikes against Iran, saying productive discussions are underway with Tehran and making clear that the United States will not attack Iran before the November 3 midterm elections. In a post on Truth Social, Trump said that the blockade on Iranian maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz would remain in place while claiming that oil was continuing to flow in record volumes through the strategic waterways with no Iranian oil involved. He also reiterated that Iran would not be allowed to possess a nuclear weapon. We are having productive discussions with the Islamic Republic of Iran. I want to make it clear to everybody that, while Iran is in very bad condition, both Economically and Militarily, and while the Blockade will remain in full force and effect, with Oil flowing in Record Numbers of Barrels through the Hormuz Strait (22 Million Barrels, last night alone, with not one barrel coming from, or going to, Iran!), we will not be attacking Iran at any time prior to the Midterm Elections to be held in the United States on November 3rd. Iran will not have a nuclear weapon ! the post read. Trump's statement came a day after reports that the Pentagon had been instructed to prepare for a possible resumption of major combat operations against Iran, potentially ahead of the midterms. However, Trump's latest statement ruled out an attack before the US midterm elections while saying that discussions with Iran were continuing.
