New Delhi: The Union Health Ministry has asked educational institutions, especially secondary schools, to designate "Tobacco Monitors" from among students and staff in a bid to boost implementation of tobacco control initiatives among adolescents. The guidelines call for managements to ensure that no tobacco product is sold within 100 yards from the premises and any violation is reported to the National Quitline at 1800-11-2356. PTI
Telangana Board ‘fails’ dead student again
Hyderabad: There appears to be no end to the bungling by the Telangana Board of Intermediate Education as it once again failed a deceased student, hours after declaring her pass. It clarified that the Class 11 student, who had committed suicide in April over failure in examination, was declared pass due to a "clerical error". The authorities said they stand by their statement that none of the 23 students who committed suicide cleared the exams as re-verification had not led to change in their status. IANS
