Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar he wished if someone had warned him against the use of tobacco 40 years back. Pawar shared his story of how he fought cancer and also confessed how he regretted consuming tobacco and supari.
The NCP supremo recently spoke on oral cancer in Mumbai during the launch of the Indian Dental Association’s (IDA) drive to eradicate oral cancer and the use of tobacco by 2022. Pawar narrated his troubles and the excruciating pain he faced due to surgery and the complete removal of his teeth. As a result, he would find difficulty in speaking, swallowing food and opening his mouth wide.
Decades back, former prime minister of India Atal Bihari Vajpayee, upon seeing Pawars condition after being diagnosed with cancer, had said how one needs to stop consuming tobacco.
The former chief minister of Maharashtra, Pawar, even promised to take up the issue in Parliament. The event was held to commemorate World Oral Health Day, which falls on March 20.

Car, that can transform into aircraft in 135 seconds, gets airworthiness certification in Slovakia

‘AirCar’ manufactured by Klein Vision
A car, which can transform into an aircraft in two minutes and 15 seconds, has been issued with a certificate of airworthiness by the Slovak Transport Authority. The hybrid car-aircraft, which is capable of hitting speeds over 100mph (160kmh) and altitudes above 8,000ft (2,500m), is equipped with a BMW engine and runs on regular petrol-pump fuel.
The ‘Aircar’ has been manufactured by Klein Vision, which said that the certification followed 70 hours of flight testing and more than 200 take-offs and landings. Professor Stefan Klein, Founder of Klein Vision, said: “AirCar certification opens the door for mass production of very efficient flying cars.” He added: “It is official and the final confirmation of our ability to change mid-distance travel forever.”
In June 2021, the flying car completed a 35-minute flight between international airports in Nitra and Bratislava, Slovakia. Klein Vision told BBC News that it plans to fly to London from Paris in near future.
Rene Molnar, director, Civil Aviation, Transport Authority of Slovakia, said: Transportation Authority carefully monitored all stages of unique AirCar development from its start in 2017. Transportation safety is our highest priority. AirCar combines top innovations with safety measures in line with EASA (European Aviation Safety Agency) standards. It defines a new category of a sports car and a reliable aircraft.
