Pul’s widow demands CBI probe

Former Arunachal Pradesh chief minister Kalikho Pul’s wife Dongwimsal Pul has demanded CBI probe into her husband’s revelations against Pema Khandu along with his deputy.

Addressing a press meet in Itanagar on Saturday, she said the revelations are serious which need a thorough probe. She said prime minister Narendra Modi and his minister of state Kiren Rijiju, who hails from the north eastern state should order a probe.

The accused trio should step down for the sake of an impartial probe,said the widow a couple of days after Pul’s revelations came to light in media.

The mid-20th century in America was a time when smoking was as normal and ubiquitous as eating. Picture this: in 1956, the average American smoked about 4,000 cigarettes a year. That’s a half-pack a day, for everyone—men, women, and even some children were all puffing away, encouraged by a relentless media, celebrities, and even health professionals.

Today, the leading cause of death and disability in the United States is not smoking; it's what we eat. The Global Burden of Disease Study, funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, identifies poor diet as the #1 cause of...
