A nexus between private diagnostic laboratories and some medical staffers came to light at a state medical facility.

The BMC will conduct a special drive beginning from today, focussing on trees in the city. The drive is to remove concrete around tree bases. There will also be an accent on removing cables and nails used for putting up small posters on trees. The week-long drive called Vruskh Sanjeevani Muhim will see NGOs and students from educational institutes participate, too.
