He said that the Union government has launched various programmes in the fight against TBwhich has affected a large number of people in the country.“The government has launched a programme urging people to adoptTB patients and take care of them. The programme received overwhelming response as over 10 lakh TB patients have been adopted by common people in the country. They will take care of the health of TB patients with the support of the government for over six months to cure them completely,” the minister said.
“As malnutrition has been identified as one of the major causes for the disease, the Union government has also taken steps to enhance nutrition.

“The world health organisation has set the target to bring down TB cases to zero by 2030, but India will be free from TB by 2025 with the concerted efforts of people and the Indian pharma industry,” he said.
He said the launch of dedicated centres selling generic medicines by the Union government has helped the poor buy medicines and surgical instruments at cheap prices. “The country has also emerged as a global generic medicine supplier for over 200 countries,” he said.
Bhopal-based Gandhi Medical College dean Dr Salil Bhargava said that the Indian government has also launched various missions to end the disease completely by 2025. “This include ‘TB Mukt Panchayat’, where the representatives will take a resolution that not a single TB patient will be there in the village. Modern technology like Artificial Intelligence is also being used to cure this disease as over 75 lakh were affected across the country,” he said.
Suttur mutt seer Shivarathri Deshikendra Swami said that the disease is still a challenge to the whole world despite rapid advancement and progress achieved in science and technology. He stressed on united efforts to end TB.

Google identifies hacking attack on government of Pakistan and these countries
Google’s Threat Analysis Group identified and resolved a security flaw (CVE-2023-37580) in the Zimbra Collaboration email server. The flaw was exploited by Winter Vivern threat group to target governments of Greece, Moldova, and Tunisia. Another unknown actor used the same exploit to phish for credentials from the Vietnam government. The final campaign targeted a government organization in Pakistan to steal Zimbra authentication tokens. These campaigns demonstrate how attackers exploit vulnerabilities in open-source repositories before they are released to users.

Explainer: Why UP government has banned halal certification of products
The Yogi Adityanath-led government in Uttar Pradesh has banned the production, storage, distribution, and sale of food products with halal certification with immediate effect while exempting products manufactured for export. The state government alleges ‘malicious attempts’ to discourage the use of products lacking a halal certificate, which seek unfair financial benefits and form part of a pre-planned strategy to sow class hatred, create divisions in society, and weaken the country by anti-national elements. Strict legal measures will be taken against any individual or firm engaged in the production, storage, distribution, buying, and selling of halal-certified medicines, medical devices, and cosmetics within Uttar Pradesh.
