Jammu and Kashmir Ramps Up Monsoon Defenses as 2025 Devastation Looms Large

Jammu and Kashmir is bracing for the full force of the monsoon, with the memory of 2025's devastating cloudbursts, flash floods, and landslides—which claimed up to 199 lives and damaged nearly 21,000 structures—driving an urgent, multi-pronged preparedness effort this year. The southwest monsoon has already made a stormy entry, triggering multiple localized incidents of flash floods and landslides across districts like Doda, Bandipora, and Anantnag in early July 2026, disrupting connectivity and inundating areas, though no immediate casualties have been reported.

India's Cancer Data Crisis: Telangana's Move Reignites National Notifiable Disease Debate

India's fight against a surging cancer epidemic faces a critical hurdle: a severe lack of comprehensive data. This issue came sharply into focus after Telangana, in April 2026, mandated cancer as a Notifiable Disease, making it the 17th state to do so and reigniting calls for a similar nationwide directive from the Union Government.
