Experts debunk Covid vaccine-heart attack link, Row over religious profiling during Kanwar Yatra in UP

Medical experts from AIIMS and other institutions have declared COVID-19 vaccines safe, dismissing claims linking them to heart attacks. They emphasised there is no scientific evidence connecting the vaccines to sudden cardiac arrests. Experts pointed to lifestyle factors like smoking, alcohol, poor diet and lack of exercise as the main causes for increasing heart problems in younger people.

And a controversy has erupted ahead of the Kaavar Yatra in Muzaffarnagar, Uttar Pradesh. This after a dhaba worker named Tajamul claims he was asked to remove his pants to prove his religious identity. He says the dhaba owner had advised him to use the Hindu name 'Gopal' for safety during the yatra. The incident occurred after the UP government issued a directive for shop owners to display nameplates during the yatra. The program examines the tensions arising from this religious profiling and questions whether peace can be maintained during this year's yatra.
