Thank you to the brilliant speakers & the motivated TB community for a critical discussion on the importance of implementing 1/4/6x24 in India. We still have a way to go, but when the community unites to raise our voice, we can shape the world!

Regular policemen dressed up as temple priests to regulate visitors in Varanasi. Is UP going mental ? There surely has to be a lakshman rekha between religious fervour and the State. It's a diff matter if these priests cum crowd regulators belongs to the temple and paid by them.

If the centre has already provided the state with the TB drugs, why would it take 15-20 days to reach Nagpur?

The sense of urgency to avoid erratic treatment and prevent potential discontinuation is sadly lacking at both union and state govt levels.
