11 मार्च 2026 को Supreme Court of India ने एक बेहद भावुक और ऐतिहासिक फैसला सुनाया। कोर्ट ने 31 साल के हरीश राणा के लिए निष्क्रिय इच्छामृत्यु (Passive Euthanasia) की अनुमति दे दी। यानी अब डॉक्टर उनकी लाइफ सपोर्ट मशीनें और कृत्रिम भोजन हटाने की प्रक्रिया शुरू कर सकेंगे।
हरीश राणा 2013 में Ghaziabad में एक इमारत की चौथी मंजिल से गिर गए थे। इस हादसे में उनके दिमाग को गंभीर चोट लगी और वे कोमा जैसी हालत में चले गए। पिछले 13 साल से वे पूरी तरह लाइफ सपोर्ट पर थे।

Kozhikode, March 2026: Dr. Athira Sugathan, a 30-year-old doctor from Kerala, secured All India Rank (AIR) 483 in the Civil Services Examination after overcoming a devastating accident that left her paralyzed and with memory loss nearly a decade ago.

Athira’s journey from being placed on a ventilator fighting for her life in 2016 to clearing the Civil Services Examination in her fourth attempt has emerged as a powerful story of resilience and determination.

Near-Fatal Accident in 2016 Changed Athira Sugathan’s Life -

Athira Sugathan was studying Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) at Rajarajeswari College in Bengaluru when tragedy struck in 2016. During a night trip with seven friends, she was seated on the back of a motorcycle when the bike hit a road hump on Mysore Road, lost control, and crashed.

The accident left Athira critically injured. She was rushed to a hospital and placed on a ventilator, with doctors initially giving very little hope for her survival.

When she regained consciousness, she faced another devastating reality. The accident had erased months of her memory and left her legs paralyzed, confining her to a wheelchair.

Three-Year Recovery and Return to Medical Studies -

Athira’s recovery was slow and emotionally challenging. It took nearly three years before she felt strong enough to return to her studies.

Gradually rebuilding her memory and confidence, she resumed her academic work and later appeared for her final-year examinations along with her juniors. She eventually completed her dental degree and internship, marking a major milestone after the life-changing accident.

From Medical Career to Civil Services Dream
After completing her medical training, Athira worked with the Kerala Pravasi Association (KPA) during the COVID-19 pandemic, an experience that sparked her interest in public service.

Determined to pursue a new path, she began......

Authorities in Surat seized 1,401 kilograms of suspected fake paneer during a joint operation carried out by the Surat Special Operations Group (SOG) and the Surat Municipal Corporation (SMC) Food Safety Department on March 5, 2026. The raid took place in the Pandesara area of Surat, Gujarat, where officials uncovered a racket allegedly manufacturing counterfeit paneer using palm oil and chemicals.

Police arrested Mahesh Kumar Sharma, who is accused of producing and distributing the adulterated paneer in the local market.

Authorities estimate that the seized paneer alone is worth approximately ₹3.08 lakh. In total, officials confiscated goods valued at around ₹28.44 lakh, including raw materials and machinery used in the illegal operation.

Fake Paneer Allegedly Made Using Palm Oil and Chemicals -

According to investigators, the accused allegedly manufactured what officials described as analog paneer using palm oil and acidic chemicals instead of milk. These ingredients were used to create a texture similar to real paneer, allowing the product to resemble the popular dairy item.

Authorities recovered 16 cans of palm oil during the raid, along with high tech machinery used to produce the counterfeit paneer, which alone was valued at about ₹25 lakh.

Officials suspect that the accused had been running the operation for around two years. During this period, he allegedly produced approximately 400 kilograms of fake paneer daily.

Fake Paneer Supplied to Local Dairies -

Investigators said the counterfeit paneer was reportedly sold at cheaper rates to various dairies across Surat, making it easier to circulate the product in the market. From these dairies, the paneer allegedly reached consumers, raising concerns about potential public health risks.

Authorities believe the lower price of the product helped it move through the supply chain despite being produced without.......
