| Common Cold: Profile, Treatment and Precautions | | | | Dr. Rajkumar Singh
Common cold is a viral infection that primarily attacks the upper part of the respiratory system — mainly the nose, throat, and sinuses. The viruses damage the lining of the nasal and throat mucosa, triggering inflammation, mucus production, irritation and immune reaction. It is a self-limiting condition which means it naturally resolves without major medical treatment in most people within 7–10 days. The immune system gradually clears the virus while symptoms fade. It is highly infectious — especially in the first 2–3 days of symptoms, when the viral load is highest. Even a short close interaction (conversation, handshake followed by face-touching, sharing of objects) | |
| | | | From Space to Sea: ISRO Detects El Niño’s Impact on the Indian Ocean | | | | The ocean plays a vital role in regulating Earth’s climate, weather and ecosystems. A recent observation by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has once again shown how satellite technology can help scientists understand major changes taking place in the oceans.
ISRO’s EOS-06, also known as Oceansat-3, has detected changes associated with the developing El Niño phenomenon. Satellite observations have revealed changes in ocean productivity and surface winds in the equatorial Pacific, the region where El Niño develops. These changes are important because El Niño can influence weather and climate patterns far beyond the Pacific, including the Indian Ocean region and the Indian monso | |

| | | | The teachers who taught a generation but were never allowed to plan their own future | | | | Dr. Paryaz Ahmad Bhat
There is a painful irony in asking teachers to build the future of students while leaving their own future uncertain. This is the reality faced by contractual Assistant Professors working in Government Degree Colleges across Jammu and Kashmir.
Since 2020, these teachers have repeatedly come onto the roads, submitted representations and raised their voices for better remuneration, continuity of service and job security. Yet, despite assurances from the administration and concerned authorities, a final and comprehensive solution remains awaited. Faculty members have also stated that during the election campaign, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah had assured them regarding | |
