Poor air quality behind rise in lung cancer cases among non-smokers: DAK

Srinagar,Aug 1,KNT: On world lung cancer day, Doctors Association Kashmir (DAK) on Tuesday said lung cancer cases are on rise among people who have never smoked because of increasing exposure to toxic air.

“Poor air quality is behind spike in lung cancer cases among non-smokers,” said DAK President Dr Nisar ul Hassan.

Dr Hassan said evidence has shown that polluted air is associated with increased risk of lung cancer which is the most prominent cancer in Kashmir.

A new ground breaking study conducted at Francis Crick Institute and University College London has revealed that poor air quality can increase the odds of lung cancer in individuals who do not smoke.

“Researchers have found that increased exposure to fine particles – typically seen in vehicle exhaust and smoke from fossil fuels trigger inflammation which causes cancerous state in lung cells,” he said.

The DAK President said the air quality in Kashmir has been constantly deteriorating for the past few years due to the increasing number of vehicles, constructions, brick klins, cement and other factories which emit pollutants and significantly pollute the air.

“And this is contributing to enormous burden of lung cancer in the valley,” he said.

Dr Nisar said while smoking continues to be an important risk for lung cancer, in Kashmir many people who have never smoked are diagnosed with lung cancer and air pollution is a big factor.

“It is a wakeup call about the damaging impact of air pollution on human health. We cannot ignore climate health. If we want to address human health, we have to address climate health, he said.

“There is an urgent need to control air pollution to reduce the burden of lung cancer in the community and save precious human lives,” he added.(KNT)

NEET-SS aspirants write to LG seeking exam centre in Kashmir

NEET-SS aspirants write to LG seeking exam centre in Kashmir

Issue taken up with authorities, hopeful of centre in Srinagar: Official

Jahangeer Ganaie

Srinagar, Jul 31 (KNO): Hundreds of Kashmiri aspirants preparing for the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test for Super Specialty (NEET-SS) are worried as the National Board of Examination (NBA) has not established any exam centers in the valley. The candidates have written to J&K Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha, seeking his intervention in the issue.

The NEET-SS exam is slated to take place on September 9–10, 2023, putting the students with the burden of travelling to Jammu or other states to sit the significant test. On September 4, admit cards are anticipated to be released and around 500 aspirants from Kashmir are scheduled to appear in the examination.

Several candidates who have to appear in the examination told the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO) they will have to spend more than Rs 20,000 per head and at least three to four days of travel to other states to appear in the examination.

“We aren’t against setting up examination centre in Jammu but there is a need for such centres in Kashmir as well, where there are hundreds of candidates,” they said. “In case no examination centre was being established in Kashmir, we will have to bear the financial strain of flight tickets, and hotel accommodations besides uncertainty due to the frequent closures on the highway.”

The upset candidates have written to LG Manoj Sinha to intervene at the earliest so that they won’t have to suffer.

The candidates have mentioned in the letter that the only examination centre for NEET SS 2023, which is in Jammu, proves to be “highly inconvenient and distant” for those hailing from Srinagar and other areas.

This not only adds to our financial burden but also causes unnecessary stress and anxiety, ultimately affecting their performance in the examination, they said.

For a smooth and comfortable examination experience, the aspirants have sought additional examination centre in Srinagar. “By doing so, you would not only be alleviating the inconvenience faced by the candidates but also promoting accessibility and equal opportunities for aspirants from all regions of Jammu and Kashmir,” the letter mentions. “This would undoubtedly be a great stride towards enhancing the educational prospects of aspiring medical professionals from our region and reinforcing the government’s commitment to providing equitable opportunities for all.”

Various associations including RDA SKIMS and others have also shot letters to the LG seeking his intervention.

Meanwhile, a health official told KNO that they have taken up the issue with the concerned authorities and are hopeful that a centre will be allotted in Srinagar—(KNO)
