Cancer vaccine

In a significant breakthrough in cancer treatment, a vaccine aimed at combating cancers affecting women will be available within the next five to six months. Union Minister of State for Health, Family Welfare, and Ayush (Independent Charge) Prataprao Jadhav announced this during a press conference on Tuesday.

Vaccine trials nearing completion

The minister revealed that research on the vaccine is nearly complete, and clinical trials are currently underway. The vaccine will be available for girls aged between nine to 16 years, providing a preventive shield against certain types of cancer.

Government initiatives to tackle rising cancer cases

Highlighting the alarming rise in cancer cases across the country, Jadhav stated that the government has taken proactive measures to combat the disease. Women above the age of 30 will be screened at hospitals, while daycare cancer centers will be established for early detection and treatment.

Furthermore, the government has waived customs duty on cancer treatment medicines, making them more affordable for patients.

Which cancers will the vaccine target?

While responding to queries, the minister specified that the vaccine aims to provide protection against breast, oral, and cervical cancers—three of the most prevalent types affecting women in India.

Expansion of Ayush healthcare facilities

Discussing the expansion of traditional healthcare facilities, Jadhav stated that hospitals already have Ayush departments, offering alternative treatment options. He added that India currently has 12,500 such health facilities, and efforts are underway to expand them further.

The introduction of this vaccine is expected to be a major milestone in the fight against cancer, potentially saving countless lives through early intervention and prevention.

Stand-up comedian Swati Sachdeva’s joke on mother sparks outrage on social media

However, the comedian’s attempt to lighten the mood has backfired, with people accusing her of crossing the line and using inappropriate content for laughs.

Just weeks after YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia faced heavy criticism for a remark about parents, stand-up comedian Swati Sachdeva has found herself in the middle of a similar storm. A video from one of her recent comedy shows has spread rapidly across social media, leaving many internet users upset and angry.

In the video that has now gone viral, Swati Sachdeva makes a bold and funny comment about her mother finding a vibrator in her room. She describes how her mother tried to stay calm and modern, calling the vibrator a “gadget” or “toy” and even asking her to discuss it openly “as a friend.” However, the comedian’s attempt to lighten the mood has backfired, with people accusing her of crossing the line and using inappropriate content for laughs.

During her performance, Swati shared, “My mom wants to be a cool parent, but it’s not working out. She found my vibrator and came to me confidently, saying we should talk like friends. She’s probably going to ask to borrow it! She kept calling it a gadget or a toy.” To escape the awkward moment, Swati jokingly told her mother it belonged to her father. She added, “I said, ‘Mom, it’s Papa’s, I swear!’ But she replied, ‘Don’t talk nonsense, I know what he likes.’ Then she pulled it out and started questioning me!”

As soon as the clip appeared online, people rushed to the comments section to voice their disapproval. Many called her language “vulgar” and felt she disrespected her family by sharing such a personal story. One user commented, “This girl has gone too far in the name of comedy. She didn’t even respect her own parents. This isn’t funny—it’s an insult to our values. Such content should not be encouraged.”

“Nowadays, it seems that comedy relies solely on inappropriate language. While some find it amusing, one user on this platform mentioned that comedy has evolved over time. So, is this an evolution or a decline in comedy? Is this truly what comedy is meant to be?” another comment expressed. A third user remarked, “She has no respect for her parents, all just to become famous.” Someone else questioned, “Isn’t this as bad as the vulgarity in ‘India’s Got Latent’?”

Earlier, Ranveer Allahbadia’s comment about Samay Raina’s show ‘India’s Got Latent’ caused a huge uproar, leading to police cases, legal action, and weeks of online arguments. Raina was even called in for questioning by Maharashtra Cyber on Friday over an obscenity complaint linked to that case.

Delhi crime, Vivek Vihar body case, decomposed woman found, DDA flat murder case,

Delhi Police has recovered a decomposed body of a woman inside a bed-box at a DDA flat in Vivek Vihar’s Satyam Enclave. The discovery was made after locals alerted police about a foul smell emanating from the residence.

According to police officials, the dead body, wrapped in a blanket and stuffed into a bag, was located inside house number 118 A. The flat belongs to a man identified as Vivekanand Mishra, aged between 50 and 60 years.

Closer inspection revealed blood stains near the backdoor, which raised suspicions and prompted authorities to force entry into the flat.

Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (Shahdara), Neha Yadav, stated, “We received a call at 4:37 regarding a foul smell coming from the house. Upon entering, we found the dead body of a woman, wrapped in a blanket and kept inside a bag placed in a box. An incense stick was found near the body. The woman has not been identified yet, and legal procedures are ongoing.”

Deputy Commissioner of Police (Shahdara) Prashant Gautam said the house was found locked from the outside when officials arrived. Traces of blood were noticed near the backdoor. Upon opening the house, the woman’s decomposed body was recovered.

Preliminary reports suggest the woman, estimated to be in her late 40s, may have been murdered two to three days ago. Investigative sources revealed that Mishra, the flat’s owner, was seen visiting the house on Thursday night and again on Friday afternoon.

The investigation is currently underway, with forensic teams analyzing samples and surveillance footage being examined from the locality. As of now, no arrests have been made in connection with the case. Authorities are treating the case as a potential homicide, and further legal action is expected as new evidence comes to light.

Rahul Gandhi says BJP’s cronyism pushed banking sector into crisis, junior employees suffering

He encouraged other affected employees to share their stories through his official website.

Rahul Gandhi, leader of the opposition in the Lok Sabha, criticized the BJP government on Saturday for what he called “cronyism and regulatory mismanagement,” claiming these policies have pushed India’s banking sector into crisis. He argued that junior employees bear the brunt of this mismanagement, facing “stress and toxic work conditions.”

Gandhi alleged that the government had waived off ₹16 lakh crore in loans for “billionaire friends,” while ordinary bank employees suffered the consequences. “The BJP’s economic policies have a human cost—thousands of honest professionals are paying the price,” he said.

In a post on social media platform X, Gandhi shared a video of his meeting with former ICICI Bank employees who accused the bank of unfair dismissals and workplace harassment. He promised that the Congress party would fight for their rights and work to end “exploitation in the banking sector.”

“Their accounts reveal a disturbing trend—retaliation for exposing bad loans, sudden terminations without proper procedure, and even tragic cases of suicide,” Gandhi said. He encouraged other affected employees to share their stories through his official website.

A delegation of 782 former ICICI Bank employees met Gandhi in Parliament on Friday, sharing claims of being fired while on medical leave or after raising concerns about management practices. According to the Congress, these employees said such practices are common in private banks due to extreme profit pressures.

The employees alleged that whistleblowers faced retaliation and that many were dismissed without following legal procedures. The Congress argued that these issues are not isolated but part of a wider problem in India’s banking industry.

ICICI Bank has not yet commented on the allegations. The Congress, meanwhile, has demanded action, calling for investigations into labor practices in private banks.

“If you have faced similar injustice, share your experience with me,” Gandhi said, directing affected individuals to his official portal.
