Why We Protest Messi, Not Our Taxes!
The whole country erupted over ₹12,000. For crores, we stay silent.
Patients' Rights are Human Rights
The NHRC Charter of Patients' Rights lays out 17 rights every patient should know:
1. Right to Information: Every patient must be told about their illness, diagnosis, treatment, possible complications and expected costs in a language they understand.
2. Right to Records and Reports: Patients can access their case papers, investigation reports and discharge summary.
3. Right to Emergency Medical Care: Hospitals must provide basic emergency care without demanding advance payment.
4. Right to Informed Consent: Written consent must be taken after explaining the risks, before any potentially hazardous test or treatment.
9. Right to Safety and Quality Care: Patients are entitled to a clean, safe, infection-controlled environment and care that meets accepted standards.
10. Right to Choose Alternative Treatment: You can choose between available treatment options, or refuse treatment after understanding the consequences.
11. Right to Choose Your Pharmacy or Lab: You can buy prescribed medicines and get tests done from any registered pharmacy or accredited lab.
12. Right to Proper Referral and Transfer: Referrals must be made in the patient's best interest, never for commissions or kickbacks.
13. Right to Protection in Clinical Trials: Participation requires informed consent, and participants harmed by a trial are entitled to free treatment and compensation.
14. Right to Protection in Biomedical Research: Research participants are guaranteed ethical approval, consent, privacy and compensation for harm.
15. Right to Discharge or Receive a Body: A hospital cannot detain a patient, or the body of a deceased patient, over a payment dispute.
16. Right to Patient Education: Patients should be educated about their condition, healthy living, their rights, health insurance schemes and how to complain.
17. Right to be Heard and Seek Redressal: You can give feedback or file a complaint, and expect a written outcome within 15 days.
Know your rights. Ask questions. Speak up.
Already investing through SIPs in affected Indian gold and silver mutual funds? Existing SIPs can continue, and redemptions remain permitted under applicable rules. The restriction applies to fresh investments in the affected funds.
India has multiple security forces, but each one has a different job.
From managing riots and guarding international borders to protecting airports and responding to terrorist threats, different forces work together to safeguard the country.
Understanding their responsibilities also explains why a particular force is deployed during a protest, emergency or security threat.
India also has specialised military units such as the Army's Para SF, the Navy's MARCOS and the Air Force's Garud.
For everyday policing, including theft, traffic violations and local law-and-order issues, State Police is generally the first point of contact.
State Armed Police, Home Guards and the Railway Protection Force also play important roles within their respective areas of responsibility.
India's security framework relies on multiple agencies with distinct responsibilities, training and command structures.
Here is a question for the Jagruk Janta:
Which specialised unit is associated with covert operations under R&AW?

GST compliance could become easier for businesses.
From GST notices and prosecution to delayed refunds and goods being stopped during transit, compliance issues can create financial pressure and unnecessary stress for business owners.
The 57th GST Council meeting recommended several changes to simplify compliance and reduce the burden on genuine taxpayers.
However, these are Council recommendations. Their actual impact will depend on the relevant notifications, legal changes and implementation.
For business owners, staying updated on GST changes is essential to manage compliance, avoid unnecessary disputes and plan operations effectively.
Simpler compliance can help businesses focus more on growth and less on paperwork.
