WHILE DELIVERING a lecture in a free heart checkup camp organized at Hindi Academy by Heart Care Foundation of India in association with Central Bank of India, Dr. Aggarwal said that most heart attacks occur in the morning hours of the winter. All heart patients should also take their heart medicines in the night during winter so that the early morning period is covered and any fluctuations in pulse and blood pressure are denied by adequate blood levels.Pulse rate, platelet aggregation, blood viscosity and blood pressure are all on on higher side in winter in early morning hours. Any further rise can  be dangerous to the heart. Tea/coffee, cigarette and alcohol all can increase pulse rate and blood pressure.   It is rare to get first attack of acidity or asthma after the age of 40. If anybody in this season gets up with attack of asthma or acidity unless proved otherwise, it should be presumed to be a heart attack and one should be shifted to the hospital a...

   Pl. Coment : ‘ India’s pension   system is second   least sustainable’ How is old age income security in India different from the systems in developed countries? Research at Allianz has found that India’s pension system is globally the second least sustainable, with only Greece being worse off. India’s pension system is biased towards the organised sector and old age income is confined to voluntary savings in the unorganised sector. Income at retirement is far from adequate and public sector pension provisions are far behind the OECD ( Organisation for Economic Co- operation and Development) benchmark. Average income earners are unable to replace pre- retirement earnings compared with most OECD countries. Usually, the less generous the public pension system, the better developed is the privately- funded one. So in Switzerland or the Netherlands, where the replacement rate from public pension schemes is below 40 per cent, we find pension assets...

PENSIONERS GET BONUS TEN DAYS BEFORE DURGA PUJA FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 15 YEARS Pensioners get bonus 10 days before Durga Puja KOLKATA: For the first time in 15 years, 4 lakh state government pensioners received Puja ex gratia ten days ahead of the Durga Puja. They had been receiving the bonus either right before the Puja or after it, for over a decade now. The ex gratia amount has also been increased to Rs 900 from Rs 800 last year. A finance department official said quick disbursement of ex gratia was possible because of the electronic clearing system and decentralization of drawing and distribution officers (DDOs) at multiple locations. "We have also increased the amount to Rs 900 from Rs 800 last year. Till 2010, it was Rs 400. This is not a big amount but a token gesture. We had to spend just Rs 4 crore extra for this," the official said. The move has made retired employees happy. Aloke Haldar, a former PWD employee who retired in 2009, said, "For the pa...
