Hyderabad Airport Introduces Therapy Dogs for Anxious Travellers

While flying saves time during traveling, it also turns stressful at times. But maybe you can get some help when in Hyderabad's Rajiv Gandhi International Airport, provided you love dogs. This is because in a move that blends comfort with care, Hyderabad Airport has introduced a unique stress-relief initiative featuring therapy dogs to help soothe anxious travelers. Under the newly launched program titled 'Paws and Peace', two adorable toy poodles have taken up duty in the terminal, offering passengers a chance to pause, pet, and breathe easy.

You will find them beyond the security check in both domestic and international departure zones. They are trained therapy dogs and are available for interaction four to six hours a day. Not to be afraid of, as they will always be accompanied by certified handlers. The dogs will be stationed near high-footfall areas such as retail zones and boarding gates—spots which have been carefully chosen to maximize visibility and spontaneous engagement.

The idea behind this program is simple yet powerful: to provide nervous flyers and overwhelmed travelers with a moment of joy, calm, and comfort amid the hustle of air travel.

It might be a quick petting session, a few quiet moments, or just a playful round of fetch, passengers are welcome to interact with the poodles—if they choose to. Importantly, these interactions are entirely voluntary. The dogs will not approach anyone unless invited, ensuring that everyone can go about their journey undisturbed if they prefer.

To create memorable moments, dedicated selfie zones have also been set up near the therapy dog areas, where travelers can take pictures with their fluffy companions.

Airport officials stress that the welfare of the animals is as important as that of the passengers. The therapy dogs work for limited hours and receive adequate breaks to prevent fatigue or overstimulation. "Their presence is meant to be gentle and soothing, ideal for those who may be nervous flyers or simply in need of a break from the bustle of the terminal," said an RGIA spokesperson.

For those interested in interacting with the dogs, the airport has released a set of engagement guidelines. Passengers are encouraged to remain calm around the dogs, follow handler instructions, avoid loud noises or sudden movements, and ensure children are supervised. Those with allergies or phobias are advised to observe from a safe distance.

With 'Paws and Peace', Hyderabad Airport becomes one of the first in India to integrate pet therapy into its passenger experience—a small but heartwarming step toward making travel more human.

Allegations of Fraudulent Surrogacy Practices Surface at Hyderabad Fertility Clinic

HYDERABAD: Gopalapuram police have registered five new cases against the head of Srushti Fertility Clinic Dr Athaluri Namratha alias Pachipala Namratha, and others based on complaints lodged by five sets of victims. While in one case a couple alleged that the doctor handed them a baby whose DNA did not match theirs, three other couples accused the clinic of adopting dubious methods. They claimed that they had already paid the money â anywhere from Rs 12.5 lakh to Rs 19 lakh â and even deposited their biological samples when they grew suspicious about the operations of Dr Namratha and her clinic. The frauds occurred between 2019 and 2025. Cops are yet to ascertain details of the fifth case.

Chronic Inflammation and Ageing: Impact of Lifestyle on Inflammaging

Is chronic inflammation universal as we age, or is it a modern lifestyle issue? For decades, scientists have linked ageing with "inflammaging," a low-grade chronic inflammation believed to drive diseases like heart disease, dementia, and diabetes. However, a new study published in Nature Aging challenges this long-standing view. By comparing populations from both industrialised and traditional societies, researchers found that inflammation does not necessarily increase with age in all groups. This challenges the belief that chronic inflammation is an inevitable part of ageing and points to lifestyle choices as a key factor in age-related disease risk.

Bowel Cancer Risk Linked to Common Growths in the Bowel

A recent study by Flinders University reveals a significant link between having both adenomas and serrated polyps in the bowel and an increased risk of developing colorectal cancer. Individuals with these synchronous lesions are five times more likely to develop advanced pre-cancerous changes.

Understanding Leaky Gut Syndrome and Its Potential Warning Signs

Human bodies are a complex system of nerves, tissues, and cells. What most of us don’t realize is how intricately the system works. Each body part, nerve, and tissue is interconnected, and exclusively inside our bellies. We have an extensive intestinal lining covering more than 4,000 square feet of surface area. When our gut is working properly, it forms sort of a protective layer of tissues that controls what gets absorbed in the bloodstream, while if it is not working properly, an unhealthy gut may cause large holes in the gut lining that allows partially digested food and toxins to penetrate the tissues beneath it, triggering chronic inflammation and severe changes in gut’s normal bacteria.

Understanding the Impact of Hepatitis D Virus on Liver Cancer

The World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) have officially classified the Hepatitis D virus (HDV) as carcinogenic to humans. This places HDV alongside Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C as major causes of liver cancer. The reclassification is based on increasing evidence of HDV’s severe health risks, especially its role in accelerating liver damage and cancer in co-infected individuals. This important update emphasizes the urgent need for better awareness, expanded testing, and improved treatment options to combat HDV and reduce the global burden of liver cancer and liver-related deaths.

How to Measure Blood Pressure Correctly at Home

Getting your blood pressure checked might seem like a small task, but done incorrectly, it can throw off your numbers by 10% or more. That may not sound like much, but it’s enough to disguise high blood pressure, trigger unnecessary medications, or mislead your doctor into changing your dose. Cardiologist Dmitry Yaranov, MD, summed it up perfectly in an Instagram post: “You’re not checking your blood pressure — you’re just watching numbers change.”
