Wednesday, 12 February 2025 The death toll from Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) in Maharashtra has reached nine, with Mumbai and Pune reporting their first and eighth fatalities respectively. The total number of cases has risen to 203. Assam and Tamil Nadu have each reported a GBS-related death, while two suspected fatalities in Kolkata remain unconfirmed.
The Drowning Prevention Awareness campaign, launched on World Drowning Prevention Day (25 July), is a heartfelt initiative by the Hemant Bala Advaitha (HBA) Foundation. Sparked by the tragic loss of 18-year-old music prodigy Advaitha Verma—who drowned in Pawna Lake in India's Pune, in June 2024—his parents Sudesh Verma and Renu Kaul Verma turned their grief into purpose. This Drowning Prevention Awareness campaign aims to educate, inform and prevent such avoidable tragedies nationwide. Backed by the WHO and inspired by the UN resolution of 2021, the Drowning Prevention Awareness movement highlights the urgent need for safety, education and community action.
Oneindia's Pankaj Mishra brings this report.

Trump’s recent claim that India halted oil imports from Russia is falling apart, as multiple reports confirm continued shipments. Despite global pressure, New Delhi says its energy security comes first. Russian oil now accounts for over 30% of India’s crude imports—up from just 1% pre-Ukraine war. Experts say India’s stance is strategic, not political. While the U.S. and EU push for reduced reliance on Moscow, India plays neutral, securing discounted supplies to support its 1.4 billion citizens and shield its economy.
