In May 2018, FSSAI submitted it's first draft in the Parliament saying there would be a RED MARK on the FRONT OF THE LABEL if the pack contained food with high amounts of SALT/SUGAR/SATURATED FAT. In September 2022, because of the pressure from the food industry (inspite of resistance from the consumer organizations), FSSAI submitted another draft favoring the star rating system. In 2024, 3S and our health society filed a PIL in the Supreme Court saying that FSSAI should make FOPL warning mandatory. On 10th Feb 2026, Supreme Court directing FSSAI to consider implementing FOPL warning and to get back in 4 weeks. FSSAI asked for some more time. There was a stakeholders' meeting on the 19th of March 2026 where most of the people werefrom the food industry and a few were from the consumers. A couple of representatives from NAPi were there, including @Moveribfan Anytime, the FSSAI will submit it's final plan now. We, Indians have to put such tremendous pressure on FSSAI that it won't have a choice but to go for FOPL warning that warns every innocent ignorant Indian as well, about the packed food being high in SALT/SUGAR/SATURATED FAT. It is time all the influemcers and all the people rise up to the occasion and let FSSAI know what we need, just like how we did when there was a stay order (when Kenvue asked for a stay citing that recalling its 180 crore stock would spoil the name it had built for two decades) on the FSSAI order of October 14th and 15th asking companies not to have ORS in the branding or on the label, and to not use the term ORS for marketing of beverages/foods. ORS is a drug. Only CDSCO can give permission/licence. Only WHO recommended formula ORS is allowed to have ORS on the label. Not just adults, even children are facing tremendous risk of obesity related complications with the food industry targeting them through various marketing strategies including celebrity endorsements. PLEASE SAVE INDIANS! ASK FOR FOPL WARNING! LET THIS MOVEMENT BECOME A TSUNAMI! @fssaiindia @MoHFW_INDIA @JPNadda @theliverdoc @foodpharmer2 #FOPLWARNING #INR #SupremeCourt #SaltSugarSaturatedfat #3SandOurhealthsociety #NAPi

@DPSnerul do you force food to your kids too?? If not then - can we take transfer to DPS Nerul ?

Pro VC Mr Anuj Agarwal available for DPS function. But not available for meeting inspite of 3 weeks of repeated requests - repeated requests to give 30 minutes to grieved parent.
22
@PanvelDps has no answer to this. Just escaping. Principal transferred. No authority figure. To meet and answer. Parents silenced - fear of their children getting targeted. PVC attending functions but unable to meet parents
27
No principal in the school. No one to speak. Only automated reply from management. And the answerable person has become " jadoooo" Sad plight. Goverment turning a blind eye. Help media.

corn cutlets, banana pie etc. my child is 7. Easy calculation. Addiction strategy on kids ? Preying on kids?. No parental consent ! Just a decision. And PVC unavailable for a meeting. Disappeared.

@MoHFW_INDIA @Dev_Fadnavis @PanvelDps Mr Fadnavis Sir -DPS Panvel wants our children to "experience" their food for 3-4 months. We don't want our children to eat outside food. We want our children to eat home cooked food. School not understanding "NO"

@Dev_Fadnavis Sir we are stuck. @PanvelDps school is so good in many things. But this one point is becoming a tug of war. My child is not an experiment or a trial. He's my child.

Contd. We tried to reason with @PanvelDps that we don't want it. We don't want them to try it. We are capable of taking care of their nutrition and their behaviour too. They want to give us complimentary. I am okay to give them money - NOT TO DO IT with my child.

Addiction strategy - is my kid a guinea pig ? Is your child a guinea pig ? Even a bollywood movie understood the meaning but a polished school refuses to understand - NO MEANS NO !!!! I DON'T WANT MY CHILD TO EAT THE FOOD PROVIDED BY SCHOOL. MY 6 YEAR OLD REFUSES TO DO SO !

Dear legal experts on Twitter, pls suggest. New Avatatar of ORSL- name of manufacturer, colour, design and everything of the of label is the same as that of ORSL - except change of the name, designed E to appear as O and S phonetically similar to Z which is deceptive, to mislead the gullible and to enable dealers and sales people at ground to push as new name of ORSL. It may not be misleading as drug ORS, but they want to protect market created for ORSL. What can be done to stop this? @fssaiindia @MoHFW_INDIA @narendramodi @CimGOI @PiyushGoyal @PiyushGoyalOffc @JPNadda

Can I post this without being called "playing the victim card " , "pushy", "nonsense" etc ? Can this truth be seen and accepted? By the men and women ? instagram.com/reel/DTFrutrDa…

Clinical Scenario: 32/ gentleman/ incidental detection of large anterior, smooth walled, mediastinal mass. Radiologically D/D most likely Thymoma. To rule out Lymphoma or a GCT. Markers negative for GCT. Biopsy- surprise- lymphoma. Extensive IHC panel done. Excellent pathologist.

1 month delay. Is it fair ? Is it logical ? Is it right ? Yes it was a difficult diagnosis. Pathologist had a discussion and put his best. Is it only for one patient? No !The protocol is for all patients. Repeat all the work up done. Wastage of all resources across the country
21
Patient goes to a reputed cancer hospital for treatment courtesy friends / relatives. Asked for review of the blocks. As no outside report trusted. Inadequate sample as extensively used for IHC. So repeat biopsy advised and performed. Patient waiting again for the reports. DELAY

@makemytrip @makemytripcare Booked a "entire farm house" from 25-28th Dec. Was changed to a bedroom on 23rd. At arrival - check in denied as the owner is not even listed on MMT. The 3rd party agent has committed fraud. @makemytrip refuses to stand up for its premium customers.

@makemytripcare @makemytrip attached is the email of 1.52PM. waiting since 10.30 am. And then of 4 PM. Look at the lack of empathy. All I got was the automated reply. Where is the escalation by the escalation team ?
