#CivicEngagement
For over seven decades, the people of this region — loyal citizens who proudly fly the Pakistani flag even on the graves of their martyred sons who have died fighting for the country — have waited for their constitutional rights. Their patience is wearing thin, and the younger, educated generation is discontented with the status quo. The state must recognise the growing frustration and address their rightful demand for accession.

#WorldObesityDay March 4, 2025
We must work together to call for change to these systems, and people living with obesity must lead this call knowing that obesity is another side of malnutrition, and there are commercial determinants of obesity, too.
We must also recognise obesity as a complex, and chronic disease, and one that is also a driver of other diseases. Taking action on obesity is a critical step in reducing the global burden of other chronic diseases including diabetes, heart disease and cancer.
#EliminateTFAs #ControlObesity #FoodGovernance
Let us promise on this #WorldObesityDay that we will #eliminateTFAs from our food supply, and make our lives healthier.
Let us not make iTFAs related regulation in #Pakistan a policy success, but implementation failure. We need to enforce the regulation, making it part of the food liscening system.
#PreventNCDs #FoodGovernance
An introductory meeting was held at TMA Mansehra, attended by TMO Mr. Mazhar and Tehsil Chairman Mr. Shafi Sheikh. Social Mobilizer Zil e Huma outlined the purpose of the meeting, sharing details about solid waste characterization study and key steps of the KAP survey along with necessary tasks..
World Obesity Day is just around the corner. March 4, 2025.
On this day, let us pledge that we will #eliminateTFAs from food supply specially from banaspati ghee, and help prevent #obesity and other noncommunicable diseases.
CGPA is helping the government agencies to enforce the limit of less than 2% already set by the PSQCA.
#FoodGovernance #PreventNCDs
We need to modify the food supply in order to change the food environment which has become obesogenic and diabetogenic. Elimination of iTFAs from food supply is one such key interventions. Pakistan now needs to enforce the iTFA related limit of less than 2% in ALL foods specially the banaspati ghee.
