Chandigarh Health Secretary

A video showing Chandigarh Health Secretary Yashpal Garg cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on a man who suffered a cardiac arrest and collapsed, has gone viral on social media.

The video, which has been viewed and shared widely over the internet, shows a man lying unconscious on a chair in Chandigarh Housing Board as Garg performs CPR on him.

Due to the health secretary’s efforts, the man regains consciousness and asks for some water as he’s being tended to by Garg and others in the office.

The man, identified as Janak Lal, a resident of Sector-41, Chandigarh, was later taken to a hospital where he underwent an electrocardiography (ECG). Lal is currently under observation at the Government Multi Specialty Hospital in Chandigarh’s Sector-16.

Garg said he was in his chamber at the CHB office when someone informed of him a man collapsing outside. The IAS officer quickly sprung to his feet and proceeded to perform CPR on Lal.

Garg added that he learnt CPR by watching a video on a news channel but didn’t have any formal training.

 “I know the process adopted by me might not be proper but did whatever came to my mind at that moment. Immediate attempt to save the life was important than wasting any time on other things,” a report quoted Garg as saying.

Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) chief Swati Maliwal also shared the video on her Twitter.

While most users on social media hailed the IAS officer’s valiant act and quick thinking, some pointed out that his improper technique could have resulted in a serious injury to Lal.

“It seems like person had syncope, and appears to be awake when “CPR” is getting administered. Second, this is a wrong way of doing CPR,” a doctor wrote, while urging Maliwal not to spread a wrong message by promoting an improper technique.

“Pls pls don’t do it randomly, it can break ribs and chest bone to say the least. Learn the proper reasons and the proper way,” wrote another doctor.

“Yes everyone should learn CPR.. Thankfully the person is safe..but the way it was done is not CPR.. may cause more harm than good,” read another reply.

“A valuable human life could be saved by the CPR process in CHB. Truly inspirational and learning for many. Commendable efforts done by Shri Yashpal Garg, Secretary Health, Chandigarh Really appreciable”, a user wrote.

“Salute to UT Health Secretary Yashpal Garg, IAS, who saved the life of Janak Kumar, resident of Sector 41-A, Chandigarh, by giving timely CPR,” wrote another user.

Meanwhile, Yashpal Garg said that he met Lal at the hospital and his tests came back normal and he will be discharged shortly.

Rawat breathed his last at around 6 pm. He had initially been admitted to Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital in Mumbai before being shifted to a cancer hospital in Bhiwandi around 10 days ago for further treatment. He is survived by his wife and son, Vikramaditya.

Actor Yashpal Sharma paid tribute to Pradeep Rawat through a post on his Instagram handle following the veteran actor’s demise.

Career spanning more than three decades

Pradeep Rawat built a successful acting career across Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam cinema over more than three decades.

He gained widespread recognition for portraying the ruthless antagonist in the 2005 Tamil film Ghajini. The performance earned him the opportunity to reprise the same role alongside Aamir Khan in the Hindi remake released in 2008.

Before Ghajini, Rawat had shared screen space with Aamir Khan in the 2001 film Lagaan.

Many television viewers also remember him for portraying Ashwatthama, the son of Dronacharya, in BR Chopra’s iconic television series Mahabharat. Although he made his film debut with Meri Jung in 1985, the television role brought him widespread recognition.

Nana Patole’s feet-washing video sparks BJP attack, Congress leader responds

A Guru Purnima video showing Congress leader Nana Patole’s feet being washed has sparked a political controversy in Maharashtra, drawing criticism from the BJP and a strong response from Patole.

A video showing senior Congress leader Nana Patole’s feet being washed during a Guru Purnima event has triggered a political controversy in Maharashtra, with the BJP criticising the ritual and the Congress leader defending it as a family tradition.

The viral clip shows Mr Patole seated on a sofa while two men wash his feet, shower flowers on him and place fruits near his feet as part of the ceremony. The incident quickly drew attention on social media and prompted sharp reactions from political leaders.

BJP calls it ‘Congress culture’

Reacting to the video, Maharashtra minister and BJP leader Chandrashekhar Bawankule said the incident reflected the “culture of Congress leaders”.

He said such acts only invite criticism and negative publicity, adding that Congress leaders should learn from similar controversies instead of repeating them.

Nana Patole defends Guru Purnima ritual

Responding to the criticism, Mr Patole rejected the allegations and said he neither instructed nor compelled anyone to perform the ritual.

According to the Congress leader, the ceremony took place on Guru Purnima when two younger members of his family voluntarily chose to honour him as their Guru.

He said they insisted on performing the ritual as a mark of respect.

Congress leader hits back at BJP

Mr Patole also countered the BJP’s criticism, saying the party had no authority to lecture others on culture and traditions.

In an apparent reference to the alleged Ram temple donation theft case, he remarked that those who “loot donation funds” should not advise others on cultural values.

The exchange has added to the political sparring between the BJP and the Congress in Maharashtra, with the viral video continuing to generate debate on social media.

Friendship Day 2026 is being celebrated on Sunday, August 2, across India and several other countries where the occasion falls on the first Sunday of August. The day recognises the importance of friendship and celebrates the companionship, trust and support that friends bring into people’s lives.

As people mark the occasion, many are exchanging heartfelt wishes, messages and quotes on social media platforms such as WhatsApp and Instagram to express gratitude for their closest friends.

History and significance of Friendship Day

The idea of Friendship Day was first introduced in 1930 by Joyce Hall, the founder of Hallmark Cards. The concept was to dedicate August 2 as a day for people to appreciate their friends by sending greeting cards. Although the tradition initially became popular, its appeal later declined in the United States.

The movement gained wider recognition in 1958 when Dr Ramon Artemio Bracho proposed celebrating friendship during a gathering in Puerto Pinasco, Paraguay. His initiative resulted in the formation of the World Friendship Crusade, an organisation that promotes peace and friendship among people worldwide.

In 2011, the United Nations officially declared July 30 as the International Day of Friendship. However, countries such as India continue to celebrate Friendship Day on the first Sunday of August.
