Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar said on Wednesday that a tunnel road for Bengaluru’s Hebbal-Silkboard Junction stretch would not be possible without collecting a toll from users, adding that people would pay the toll if they want to save time. Speaking to reporters during his two-day visit to New Delhi, Shivakumar said, “Without a toll, no tunnel road will work out. Other states also have tolls in cities. Even in Bengaluru, tolls are levied on the airport road, Bengaluru-Mysuru expressway, and NICE corridor. If people want to save time, they will pay the toll and use the tunnel.”…

Edesia had to lay off 10 percent of its staff in March as USAID was dismantled; Salem says that it took “many, many, many weeks” for the company to receive partial payment owed by the US government. “I believe Marco Rubio when he said, ‘We want to continue these programs,’” Salem says. “Still, we have not had an order in the fiscal year.”“We are providing $40 million to UNICEF to treat approximately 432,000 children with severe acute malnutrition, and $80 million to the World Food Programme to prevent 1.5 million children from becoming severely wasted,” a State Department spokesperson told…

A groundbreaking new study by the World Health Organization (WHO) has uncovered a troubling connection: postmenopausal women who are overweight and suffer from heart disease may face a significantly higher risk of breast cancer than those without heart issues.

It’s long been known that a higher body mass index (BMI) can raise the risk of breast cancer after menopause. But this study delves deeper, asking, what happens when…

It’s not uncommon to turn to a pill to help calm anxiety, battle depression, or finally get some restful sleep. But what if those same medications you rely on are quietly masking the early signs of a devastating neurological disease? A groundbreaking study published in JAMA Neurology has thrown light on a startling potential connection between long-term use of common psychiatric medications, like antidepressants, anti-anxiety pills, and sleeping aids, and the development of ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis), a rare and fatal nerve disorder. Also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, ALS gradually robs people of their ability to walk, speak, swallow,…

When a drummer hits a drum, the surface vibrates and creates sound—a signal we recognize as music. But once those vibrations stop, the signal disappears.
