Warns against the rising threat of obesity; launches ₹2.6 crore projects in Silvassa

- DILIP SINGH KSHATRIYA @ Ahmedabad

PRIME Minister Narendra Modi on Friday urged people to cut cooking oil usage by 10% each month to combat obesity, calling it a vital step for public health. His remarks came while launching development projects worth over ₹2,580 crore in Silvassa, Dadra and Nagar Haveli, and Daman and Diu.

Earlier, he inaugurated the Namo Hospital in the city. Warning against the rising threat of obesity, Modi cited a stark projection: "By 2050, over 440 million Indians could suffer from obesity—one in every three people facing serious health risks, potentially life-threatening."

Calling for immediate action, he urged people to curb cooking oil consumption by 10% each month. "A small step like using 10% less oil in daily cooking can make a big difference," he said, advocating for lifestyle changes, including regular walking, to combat the crisis.
