  • DAK Warns Against Excessive Use Of Earphones On World Hearing Day

    [ad_1]

    SRINAGAR: On world hearing day, Doctors Association Kashmir (DAK) on Friday warned against excessive use of earphones.

    “Overuse of earphones at higher volumes over prolonged period of time can result in hearing loss,” said DAK President Dr Nisar ul Hassan.

    Dr Hassan said the younger generation is particularly vulnerable because they are glued to their personal listening devices like earphones, headphones and earbuds.

    They plug these devices into their smartphones and listen to many hours at volumes exceeding the safe limit.

    “Young people often choose volumes as high as 105 decibels,” he said

    “The safe sound levels are around 85 decibels for adults and 75 decibels for children.”

    The DAK President said more people are coming with hearing issues due to the overuse of earphones and headphones.

    “Today’s earphone users are going to be tomorrow’s hearing aid users,” he said.

    “According to a study published in the Journal BMJ Global Health, one billion young people are potentially at risk of hearing loss due to their excessive use of headphones and earbuds.”

    Dr Nisar said hearing is the sense that connects us to the people.

    Taking care of our hearing is key to maintaining healthy relationship(s) and general health and well-being.

    He said there is an urgent need to prioritize safe listening practices to safeguard aural health

    It is always preferable to avoid earphones, but those who need them should take precautions.

    “Limit the usage time, keep the volume low and take breaks,” he said

    “Every year on March 3, world hearing day is observed to raise awareness on ways of preventing deafness and promoting aural care through safe listening,” he added.

  • Court refuses to interfere with withdrawal of AWBI decision on celebrating Cow Hug Day

    Court refuses to interfere with withdrawal of AWBI decision on celebrating Cow Hug Day

    [ad_1]

    New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Friday refused to interfere with the decision of the Animal Welfare Board of India (AWBI) to withdraw its notification declaring February 14 as Cow Hug Day’.

    Justice Prathiba M Singh said the celebration of any event by AWBI was within the domain of the board and the government and the court cannot interfere with it.

    Petitioner Kolisetty Shiva Kumar said in his plea that being a spiritual person and a cow lover, he “made arrangements for conducting the event in a massive manner in Hyderabad and the entire Telangana State” and the sudden withdrawal of ‘Cow Hug Day’ without specifying any reason was unjust, arbitrary and contrary to the provisions of the Constitution of India.

    “The celebration of any event by AWBI clearly is within the domain of policy of board and government. The same cannot be interfered with in a petition under Article 226,” said the court.

    Besides assailing the withdrawal, the petitioner –represented by lawyer Sravan Kumar, also sought a direction to the authorities to take initiative for the implementation of the February 6 notification on celebration of Cow Hug Day’ on February 14.

    February 14 is observed as Valentine’s Day across the world.

    The petitioner had submitted that the Supreme Court has in certain cases emphasised the importance of cows and held that protection of cow progeny was needed in the interest of the nation’s economy.

    The plea argued the revocation of the decision on celebrating Cow Hug Day’ was illegal.

    “The notification dated 6.2.2023 was issued for protection and promotion of cows in the country in accordance with the Article 48 of the Constitution of India after due consultation and approvals from the authorities. The Cows being sacred in India holds importance very much but they are also beneficial in other manners,” the plea asserted.

    “No reason was stated in the revocation notification for the withdrawal of cow day announcement. The act of the Respondent is illegal and contrary to the law,” it added.

    The AWBI, which is under the Department of Animal Husbandry and Dairying, had issued a notice appealing to people to celebrate ‘Cow Hug Day’ on February 14 to spread “positive energy” and encourage “collective happiness”, saying “All cow lovers may celebrate February 14 as Cow Hug Day keeping in mind the importance of mother cow and make life happy and full of positive energy.”

    The notification was withdrawn on February 10 following directions from the government amid widespread criticism on social media.

    The board, established in 1962 under Section 4 of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960, provides grants to animal welfare organisations and advises the Centre on animal welfare issues.

    It is a statutory advisory body on animal welfare laws and promotes animal welfare in the country.

    Saudi Arabia to mark ‘Flag Day’ on March 11 every year

    [ad_1]

    Riyadh: The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) announced that March 11 of every year will be celebrated as National Flag Day to honour the Kingdom’s national banner, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported.

    The decision came from an order issued by King Salman bin Abdulaziz.

    On March 11, 1937, corresponding to Dhul Hijjah 27, 1355 AH, the former Saudi King Abdulaziz Al Saud agreed to adopt the flag to represent the Kingdom.

    “The value of the national flag extends throughout the history of the Saudi state, since its founding in 1139 AH – 1727 AD, which bears the Islamic declaration of faith in the middle, symbolizing the message of peace, and the religion of Islam, on which this blessed state was based,” SPA reported.

    The green Saudi flag has an inscription written above the sword stating “shahada,” or declaration of the Muslim faith, reads, “There is no deity but God. Mohammed is the Messenger of God.”

    On February 22, 2023, the kingdom celebrated its second founding day with celebrations across the country and a four-day weekend.

    Foundation Day was declared a national holiday in Saudi Arabia in 2022 after the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman issued a royal decree marking the occasion.

    [ad_1]

    New Delhi: Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) will hold its annual Raising Day celebrations in Hyderabad on March 12.

    As per officials, this will be the first time that CISF will be holding the ‘Raising Day’ celebrations outside the National capital, New Delhi.

    “This time, it will be celebrated at National Industrial Security Academy (NISA) in Hyderabad. Union Home Minister Amit Shah will be the chief guest on this occasion,” he said.

    Last year, Shah attended the 53rd Raising Day ceremony of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) at Ghaziabad’s Indirapuram.

    “The preparation for the celebration is in full swing. A long list of guests has been prepared,” he added.

    For the last couple of years, all paramilitary forces are celebrating their Raising day outside Delhi.

    On March 19, CRPF will hold an annual Raising Day in Chhattisgarh’s Bastar district which used to be once dominated by Left Wing Extremism (LWE).

    On December 1, BSF held Raising Day Parade in Amritsar. It was the first time in Gujarat and the second time outside of Delhi.

    The CISF is a central armed police force of the country and is among one the six paramilitary forces of India. It functions under the Union Home Ministry.

    The CISF was set up under the act of the Parliament of India on March 10, 1969. Since then, CISF Raising Day is being celebrated on March 10 each year.
