maharashtra-congress-mva-warn-govt-over-onion-crisis-demand-immediate-msp-relief
Launching a scathing attack on the BJP-led government at the centre and state, Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee president Harshvardhan Sapkal said onion farmers are currently getting only 200300 per quintal for their produce and blamed the Modi-led government at the Centre and the Devendra Fadnavis government in the state for the miserable condition of onion growers. He warned that the Congress party and the Mahavikas Aghadi (MVA) would not sit quietly until onion farmers receive a substantial minimum support price (MSP), and said the government would be forced to act. Demanding an MSP of 3,000 per quintal for onions, the Mahavikas Aghadi organised a Shetkari Kranti Maha Morcha at Chandwad Chowphuli in Nashik district. A road blockade protest was also staged during the agitation. Prominent leaders present at the farmers march included Sapkal, NCP (Sharad Pawar faction) state president and MLA Shashikant Shinde, Shiv Sena (UBT) MLA Ambadas Danve, MLA Rohit Pawar, MP Shobha Bachhav, MP Bhagre Guruji, Nashik Rural District Congress president Bharat Takekar, Ramesh Kahandole, and Nashik City Congress president Bablu Khaire. During the road blockade protest, police detained several leaders using force, but the protesters declared that the farmers struggle could not be suppressed. Slogans such as Sarkar humse darti hai, police ko aage karti hai echoed across the area. Speaking on the occasion, Sapkal further said inflation has made it extremely difficult for farmers to survive and continue farming, while agricultural produce is not getting remunerative prices. Onion prices have crashed, leaving farmers distressed, yet the government remains indifferent. Although the government announced the procurement of onions, actual purchases have still not begun. He insisted that onion procurement must be carried out through Agricultural Produce Market Committees (APMCs) and urged the government not to benefit traders at the expense of farmers. He alleged that CM Fadnavis has repeatedly failed to fulfil promises made to the people. Sapkal said the BJP government has not helped farmers during times of crisis and added that there is now no option but to remove a government that is harassing farmers. He reiterated that the Congress and the entire Mahavikas Aghadi stand firmly with farmers and would continue the agitation until onion growers receive a guaranteed support price. Shiv Sena leader Ambadas Danve, NCP (Sharad Pawar faction) state president Shashikant Shinde, and MLA Rohit Pawar also addressed the farmers and criticised the BJP government.

With temperatures breaching 45°C across large parts of India, NEEV Foundation has mounted a large-scale summer relief campaign, “ Iss Garmi, Farq Nazar Aayega ,” targeting outdoor workers, the general public, stray animals and birds bearing the brunt of this season’s extreme heat. The initiative is being rolled out across six states including Rajasthan, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and Maharashtra. NEEV Foundation launches ‘Iss Garmi, Farq Nazar Aayega’ summer relief campaign across six states NEEV Foundation is deploying 60 relief vans to distribute clean, cold drinking water at high-footfall public areas and directly to those working long hours in the open, including traffic police personnel, delivery executives, construction workers, street vendors and autorickshaw drivers. Alongside water, the vans will distribute ORS pouches and protective caps to counter heat exposure and help replenish minerals lost to excessive perspiration. Acknowledging that the crisis extends beyond human welfare, the Foundation has installed water tanks for stray animals and placed bird feeders and water trays across multiple locations.

Through this campaign, we wanted to create immediate, accessible relief for those who keep our cities functioning despite extreme weather conditions. Sometimes the most meaningful interventions are also the simplest, whether it is offering a glass of water, a moment of shade or basic support during difficult conditions .” He added, “ NEEV was founded on the belief that social responsibility begins with showing up for people when they need support the most. We hope this campaign also encourages citizens to participate in small acts of care, from keeping water outside homes for birds and stray animals to supporting delivery personnel and outdoor workers during peak summer hours. Collective action often begins with individual awareness. Sometimes, a small beginning brings a big change and starts a revolution .” The campaign carries a deliberate public mobilisation intent, seeking to deepen community participation in heat relief at a time when rising temperatures are emerging as a sustained challenge across urban and rural India. The seasonal effort is part of a broader development mandate. NEEV Foundation’s Rural Development Centre in Nimbahera anchors its long-term work, which spans skill development for women under the Hunar programme, community infrastructure through Sanrachna, educational support under Udaan, healthcare outreach through Arogyam and sustainability initiatives under Eco Green.

south-west-monsoon-delayed-when-the-rain-is-set-to-arrive
The Indian Meteorological Department had predicted that the monsoon would begin in Kerala around May 26. However, weak winds and hot weather conditions on Tuesday have raised uncertainty over rain arriving in the rest of the country by June 1. The department had said that conditions were favourable for monsoon onset only in some parts of the Arabian Sea. The south-west monsoon is expected to enter he state now only between June 5 and 10. The reported delay is in the wake of El Nios impact. The movement of the monsoon slowed down, and it is predicted that there will be less rainfall this year. For the rains to be categorised as monsoon, at least 60 per cent of 14 weather stations in Kerala must record rainfall measuring 2.5 mm or more over two consecutive days alongside specific wind and cloud coverage. Meanwhile, many parts of the country have been reeling under the hot conditions for the past few days. Temperatures in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, for example, crossed 46.5 degree celcius on Monday. Deaths due to heatstroke were also reported in the state, with a red alert being issued for the adverse conditions. A red alert was issued for Odisha, East Madhya Pradesh and East Uttar Pradesh due to the sweltering heat. A yellow alert was issued in Delhi for excessive heat on Tuesday. Despite the delayed onset of monsoon, the IMD predicted that there would be light to moderate rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms, lightning and gusty winds over Kerala, Mahe and Lakshadweep from May 26 to 29. A yellow alert has been issued for Kerala and Lakshadweep over the next four days. There will also be light to moderate rainfall in isolated parts of Tamil Nadu, interior Karnataka, North Interior Karnataka, Telangana, Rayalaseema, and Coastal Andhra Pradesh during the same period. This will be accompanied by thunderstorms and gusty winds. Coastal Maharashtra and Goa are also set for similar conditions.

Fortis Hospital Mulund Inaugurates Adult Vaccination Clinic to Strengthen Preventive Healthcare
Reinforcing its commitment to preventive healthcare and building immunity beyond childhood, Fortis Hospital Mulund today announced the launch of its dedicated Adult Vaccination Clinic. The clinic, led by Dr Kirti Sabnis, Consultant - Infectious Diseases Specialist, Fortis Hospital Mulund, was inaugurated by Padma Shri Dr. Himmatrao Bawaskar, along with Dr S. Narayani, Business Head-Fortis Hospitals Maharashtra & Dr Vishal Beri, Facility Director-Fortis Hospital Mulund, in the presence of senior clinicians, hospital leadership and support staff, underscoring the importance of adult immunization in strengthening public health outcomes. Adult Vaccination Clinic inaugurated at Fortis Hospital Mulund by (L-R) Dr S Amey, chief guest Padma Shri Dr Himmatrao Bawaskar, Dr K Sabnis, Dr V Beri, Dr S Narayani and Dr S Gore The clinic addresses the growing yet often overlooked need for adult immunization, offering comprehensive vaccination counselling, risk assessment, and immunization services — all under one roof. It seeks to build awareness about the critical role vaccines play in protecting adults from diseases such as Influenza, Pneumonia, Hepatitis B, Shingles, Tetanus, HPV, and other infections that can significantly impact adult health and quality of life. While vaccination is commonly associated with childhood immunization, adults too remain vulnerable to several infectious diseases due to waning immunity, ageing, chronic illnesses, occupational exposure, travel requirements, and compromised immune systems. The clinic will offer personalized vaccination recommendations based on an individual's age, health status, lifestyle, travel plans, and medical history. Speaking at the launch, Dr. Kirti Sabnis, Consultant - Infectious Disease Specialist, Fortis Hospital Mulund , said, “ Strikingly, in India, 95% of deaths related to vaccine-preventable diseases occur in adults! Adult vaccination remains one of the most underutilized preventive healthcare measures in India. Many adults are unaware that protection from certain diseases declines over time and that vaccination continues to be important throughout life. Our Adult Vaccination Clinic has been designed as a one-stop destination where individuals can receive expert guidance on recommended vaccines and get vaccinated conveniently in the same visit. Through this initiative, we hope to improve awareness, increase vaccine uptake, and support healthier ageing .” The clinic will also cater to individuals with special healthcare needs, including patients undergoing organ transplantation, bone marrow transplantation, cancer treatment, or those living with chronic medical conditions that may require tailored immunization schedules. Dr. Vishal Beri, Facility Director, Fortis Hospital Mulund , said, " At Fortis Hospital Mulund, we believe that the future of healthcare lies not just in treating medical concerns, but in preventing them. The launch of the Adult Vaccination Clinic is an important step towards strengthening preventive healthcare in our community and empowering individuals to take proactive measures to protect their health. As life expectancy increases and chronic diseases become more prevalent, adult immunization assumes greater significance in reducing disease burden, preventing complications, and promoting healthy ageing. Through this initiative, we aim to make evidence-based vaccination services more accessible while fostering greater awareness about the role of immunization across every stage of life ." Commenting on the importance of adult immunization, Padma Shri Dr. Himmatrao Bawaskar who joined in as the chief guest , said “ Preventive healthcare is the cornerstone of a healthier society. Adult vaccination is a powerful yet often overlooked intervention that can prevent serious illnesses, reduce hospitalizations, and improve quality of life. Initiatives such as dedicated vaccination clinics play a crucial role in creating awareness and making preventive care more accessible to the community .” Dr. S. Narayani, Business Head – Fortis Hospitals Maharashtra , said, " In India, while childhood vaccination has significantly improved public health outcomes, awareness around adult vaccination continues to remain limited. Through the launch of the Adult Vaccination Clinic at Fortis Hospital Mulund, we aim to bridge this gap by making expert guidance and access to vaccines more convenient. As healthcare rapidly shifts towards prevention, initiatives like these play a critical role in reducing the burden of infectious diseases, preventing complications that arise from gaps in adult immunity, and ensuring that people live not just longer, but healthier, more protected lives .” The Adult Vaccination Clinic will function from Monday to Saturday between 12:00 PM and 5:00 PM at Block A, OPD Area, Fortis Hospital Mulund, and will offer walk-in consultations, counselling, and vaccination services. As India continues to focus on preventive healthcare and disease prevention, the launch of the Adult Vaccination Clinic marks an important step toward improving adult immunization coverage and strengthening community health outcomes.

bengaluru-to-receive-rainfall-until-friday-coastal-karnataka-to-get-relief-from-heat
Bengaluru is set to get a respite from the intense heat, as the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted that Karnataka's capital city will experience rain until May 29, Friday. As a precaution, a yellow alert has been issued for Bengaluru throughout the week. Light to moderate rain accompanied by thunder and lightning is expected across the city throughout the coming week, the IMD confirmed on Sunday.

On Monday, Bengaluru is expected to experience cloudy skies from the afternoon hours, with strong winds blowing at speeds of 40 to 50 km/h in some areas. The maximum and minimum temperatures in Bengaluru are likely to be around 32C and 22C respectively, TV9 Kannada said in a report.
