West Asia conflict hits ‘big fat Punjabi wedding’: Ludhiana fixes LPG quota, daughters’ marriages to get priority | Chandigarh News

3 min readLudhianaMar 19, 2026 03:57 PM IST With the wedding season set to kick off in Punjab on Baisakhi (April 13), the Ludhiana district administration Wednesday introduced a mandatory LPG quota for marriage functions. In a move to prioritise social welfare, the administration announced that weddings for daughters will receive top priority in the allotment of commercial cylinders. As per the guidelines, families organising weddings will be required to apply in advance, after which up to six 5-kg commercial LPG cylinders may be allotted for use, subject to the authorities’ verification of the function. The decision stems from a tightening supply of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) caused by the escalating conflict in West Asia, which has disrupted global energy logistics. It is also part of a larger effort to regulate LPG supply in the district. The fixed quota aims to streamline distribution amid limited supplies, but concerns persist about whether it is sufficient for large-scale Punjabi weddings. Responding to this, Additional Deputy Commissioner (General) Poonam Singh, who also heads the district-level LPG distribution committee, …

Cardiovascular research scientist suggests setting the treadmill ‘at 10-12% incline’ and ‘walk 2-4 mph’ for 30-60 minutes, 3 days per week for fat loss; we verify | Fitness News

3 min readNew DelhiFeb 4, 2026 02:58 PM IST When it comes to fat loss, most people think of running or high-intensity workouts. But James DiNicolantonio, a cardiovascular research scientist, has suggested that walking with the right settings might be one of the most effective, sustainable ways to shed fat.  Instead of sprinting on the treadmill, the key may lie in adjusting the incline and speed for steady, controlled movement that engages the right muscle groups and burns more calories. According to the doctor’s advice, setting the treadmill “at 10-12% incline” and walking at “2-4 mph” for 30-60 minutes, three times per week, can help accelerate fat loss.  Walking at an incline increases the intensity of the workout, but it is also a more accessible option for many people. However, how effective this approach is, and who should be trying it, depends on several factors such as fitness levels, age, and any underlying health conditions. To better understand whether this fat loss method is as effective as it sounds, we asked an expert to share …
