The Union Health Ministry has asked the doctors to judiciously use the antibiotics and give reason whenever using them. Director General of Health Services (DGHS) Atul Goel has said that the doctors must specify “indication, reason and justification while prescribing antimicrobials”. This is in the backdrop of increasing Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) which has reached alarming levels globally.

The PLA-Navy’s tie-ups with India’s neighbouring countries are all bilateral. The government of India may be upset with the actions of its sovereign neighbours, but it can do little to prevent the PLA-Navy’s bilateral cooperation with countries in the region. What do these Chinese research vessels do in these ports? What are they researching.

The order issued by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on January 26 asking Israel to stop genocide of Palestine people is a development of major significance in the battle of the peace-loving people of the world demanding the end of the war between Israel and Palestine in Gaza. The nearly four-month-old conflict has expanded to other areas of West Asia involving Lebanon, Yemen and Iran.

Chief Minister of Bihar Nitish Kumar’s switching over again to join BJP after ditching INDIA Bloc has inspired two sets of reaction – first, BJP and NDA will have significant political gain as their leaders have claimed; secondly, it was a good riddance for INDIA bloc which would have greatly suffered with a leader having lost face and too much anti-incumbency, as TMC leader Mamata Banerjee believed. Both the claims seem to be too simplistic to be true in tremendously increased political complexity not only in Bihar but across the country. It seems just the beginning of the pre-poll political game which is likely to continue until the post-poll formation of the government.

On Sunday, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar threw a bomb shell by leaving the ruling Mahagathbandhan in Bihar and returning to the N.D.A. coalition.

They missed the slim chance of defeating the B.J.P. in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls.
