A study on street vendors usage, consumption, and awareness of reused cooking oils in Tamil Nadu
CAG has been working towards effective implementation of the trans fat regulations in Tamil Nadu. Artificially produced trans fats like vanaspati, margarine, bakery shortenings, are harmful as they are major contributors to non-communicable diseases like diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, stroke, cancer, etc. Used cooking oil is also an important source of trans fat. Experts say that during repeated frying , many properties of oil are altered.

Climate Change - Rise of Forest Fires
According to a study by CEEW India, hot temperatures, low humidity & increased dry spells because of #ClimatChange has caused #ForestFires in #India to rise 10 fold between 2000 to 2019. Climate-proofing forests is the need of the hour. We need long-term mitigation and adaptation policies that will include smart technologies to curtail losses from forest fires. In the short term, we need robust disaster management plans, risk assessment, and forest-fire only alert systems. #ClimateChange #SaveOurForests
