According to the Rajasthan government's statement in the Assembly, what were the primary causes attributed to the deaths allegedly linked to consumption of government-supplied cough syrup in October 2025?
Overdosing and comorbidityThe Rajasthan Health Minister Gajendra Singh Khimsar stated in the Assembly that the cough syrup-related deaths occurred because the medicine was taken without medical advice, leading to overdosing in patients with existing comorbidities. The minister clarified that when medicines are given on doctors' prescriptions and deaths occur, responsibility lies with the doctor and government, but when people obtain medicines from outside sources without prescription, neither the doctor nor government bears responsibility. This explanation came during a sharp exchange in the Assembly when the Opposition raised questions about the incident during Question Hour. The government's position emphasized the importance of following medical guidance when consuming any medication. The incident sparked debate about medicine safety protocols and the need for public awareness regarding proper medication usage under professional supervision.

What strategic infrastructure project did Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma describe as a 'major strategic breakthrough' for creating a secure transportation corridor connecting Northeast India to the rest of the country?
Underground rail link along Chicken's Neck corridorAssam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma praised the proposed underground rail link along the strategic 'Chicken's Neck' corridor in West Bengal as a major breakthrough for secure Northeast connectivity. The 'Chicken's Neck' refers to a narrow 20+ km wide strip of land in northern West Bengal's Siliguri area, sandwiched between Nepal and Bangladesh, with Bhutan and China located a few hundred kilometers away. Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw announced plans to lay underground railway tracks along this 40-km corridor while also making existing tracks four-line. Sarma noted this vulnerability should have been addressed after the 1971 war, criticizing historical missed opportunities to secure Northeast connectivity. The proposed underground lines will run between Tin Mile Haat and Rangapani railway stations, with one line extending toward Bagdogra, which is vital for the country's air defense mechanism.
