Srinagar, Mar 13 (GNS): In sync with the ongoing Glaucoma Week, a screening camp for non-communicable diseases was on Monday held at Government Gousia Hospital Khanyar, during which 29 patients were diagnosed with diabetes.
To overlook the ongoing celebrations, Director Health Services Kashmir Dr. Mushtaq Ahmad Rather visited Government Gousia Hospital Khanyar Srinagar – where he assessed a screening camp conducted for non-communicable diseases.
Talking to media on the sidelines of the event, Dr. Mushtaq Ahmad Rather, as per GNS said, that in a significant move towards the prevention and management of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), the Government of India’s HNCD program has initiated screening in all district hospitals for people of all age groups. “The screenings aim to identify individuals who may be at risk for chronic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension.”
Citing reports, Rather said that out of the 550 patients screened at Gousia Hospital, 29 were diagnosed with high blood sugar levels, indicating that they are at a good percentage of fighting the disease. “This is in line with the national average, which reports that 12-13% of the population is diabetic,” he said.
“It is crucial for people to change their lifestyle as no other option is left now. They need to exercise, work on their fitness, and reduce the consumption of salt, sugar, and other harmful elements,” said the Director of Health, emphasizing the need for people to take preventive measures seriously.
“The rise of chronic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes is becoming a concern across India, prompting the government to initiate the NCB program. The aim is to educate people on how to remain healthy and enjoy a better quality of life.”

Talking about the outbreak of seasonal influenza on the rise, the Director urged people to take all the necessary precautions and use masks to protect themselves from the virus.”
He advised those experiencing influenza symptoms to drink hot water and consult a doctor immediately.
“We have taken preventive measures, and if anybody among us feels symptomatic, they should consult a doctor. Otherwise, there is no need to worry, taking proper prevention can cure anyone,” he reassured.
“This initiative by the HNCD program is a step in the right direction towards creating awareness and promoting preventive measures for NCDs. With such screenings becoming more common, early detection and management of these diseases could save lives and improve the health of the nation,” he added. (GNS)

NIA Conducts Search In Srinagar In ISIS Kerala Module Case

[ad_1]
SRINAGAR: National Investigation Agency on Monday said that it carried out raids at Srinagar and Kerala in connection with ISIS Module case.
In a statement issued to media, NIA spokerperson said, “In 2021, the National Investigation Agency had started investigations into Mohammed Ameen @ Abu Yahya, resident of Kadannamanna, district Mallapuram (Kerala), who had been running various ISIS propaganda channels on different social media platforms, such as Telegram, Hoop and Instagram.”
“Through these channels, he was propagating violent ideologies of ISIS and was radicalizing and recruiting new members to this ISIS module. He and his associates had even identified certain individuals for targeted killings and had made plans to undertake Hijrah to Jammu and Kashmir for engaging in terrorist acts and had raised funds from various sources for this trip,” the spokesperson said.
During the probe, it was found that Mohammad Ameen was in touch with Deepthi Marla of Kerala, a converted Muslim, married to Anas Abdul Rahiman of Mangalore.
“In 2015, she had gone to Dubai to pursue studies where she met another woman, Mizha Siddeeque and both women developed an inclination towards ISIS. In 2019, they tried to do Hijrah to Khorasan and reached Tehran, Iran. After reaching Tehran, their contact with ISIS operatives based in Khorasan could not be established,” he further said.
They both returned to India, and Deepthi got in touch with Ameen, Obaid Hamid Matta, Madesh Shankar and others and made plans to undertake Hijrah to ISIS administered territory.
In January 2020, she went to Srinagar to meet Obaid to plan the Hijrah and stayed in Srinagar for one week, he said.
“One of the common contacts between Deepthi and Obaid, Uzair Azhar Bhat, who is suspected to have been part of the conspiracy, was raided today. NIA conducted search at Bhat’s house in Karfali Mohalla, Srinagar and seized digital devices. The devices are being examined and further investigations are in progress,” reads the statement. (GNS)

US Justice Department conducts ‘planned search’ of Biden’s home

[ad_1]
Washington: The US Department of Justice (DOJ) conducted a “planned search” of President Joe Biden’s home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, on Wednesday.
“Today, with the President’s full support and cooperation, the DOJ is conducting a planned search of his home in Rehoboth, Delaware,” Biden’s personal lawyer, Bob Bauer, said in a statement obtained by US media outlets.
“Under DOJ’s standard procedures, in the interests of operational security and integrity, it sought to do this work without advance public notice, and we agreed to cooperate,” Bauer wrote.
“The search today is a further step in a thorough and timely DOJ process we will continue to fully support and facilitate,” the attorney said.
“We will have further information at the conclusion of today’s search.”
The DOJ conducted a search of Biden’s home in Wilmington, Delaware, on January 20 after documents with classified markings were also found at the Biden Penn Centre in Washington, D.C., in November 2022, Xinhua news agency reported.
DOJ special counsels are separately investigating the handling of classified documents by Biden and former US President Donald Trump.
Former US Vice President Mike Pence told Congress last week that classified documents had been found at his home in Indiana.

The US National Archives and Records Administration has recently requested that former Presidents and Vice-Presidents “conduct an assessment” to determine whether they have any classified materials in their possession.
Under the Presidential Records Act, all US Presidents’ and Vice-Presidents’ records, including any classified documents, must be turned over to archives by the ends of their terms.
