VIDEO | Gurugram: Senior chest and thoracic surgeon at Medanta, Arvind Kumar says, "An attempt at artificial rain was made last year as well; lakhs of rupees were spent and cloud seeding was carried out, but those clouds simply drifted away and it did not rain. As a doctor, I want to give a clear-cut message that carrying out artificial rain, sprinkling water all around, and similar actions are all cosmetic measures. For the past 10 years, we have been enduring this pollution problem; for 10 years, this exact same issue occurs in October, November, and December. ...People should realise how severely this pollution is damaging their health, and all 140 crore people should come together and make concerted efforts to reduce it. The solution to the problem of pollution will come through proper long-term measures; sprinkling water or inducing artificial rain are knee-jerk reactions that will not bring any long-term or permanent solution." #AirPollution (Full video available on PTI Videos - ptivideos.com)

VIDEO | World Cancer Day: Dr (Prof) Arvind Kumar, chairman of Lung Transplant Division at Medanta Hospital in Gurugram, says, "In the recent Union Budget, 17 anti-cancer drugs had their duties significantly slashed, I think it's a very welcome development, on behalf of the medical community and the entire cancer patient community of the country, I would like to congratulate and express heartfelt thanks for the Prime Minister as well as the Finance Minister for this, it is a very noble task which they have done because cancer patients are already broken, they are broken physically, emotionally and financially, and in such a background if they can be helped in terms of being able to buy medicines at a cheaper rate, I think it's a big relief to them and government definitely deserves thanks on behalf of medical community for this." #WorldCancerDay
