Video sparks outrage over ‘irresponsible parenting’
Bengaluru: A viral video from the city’s Vidyaranyapura area has triggered sharp criticism on social media after a child, seen standing through the sunroof of a moving red SUV, hit a traffic barrier.
The clip, posted by the Instagram handle @nammabengaluroo, shows the SUV driving along a busy road with the boy enjoying the view from the sunroof. Moments later, the child’s head struck a half-height traffic barrier as the vehicle passed. Despite the impact, the car did not stop and continued driving.

It is unclear whether the boy sustained any injuries. Netizens, however, slammed the act as “irresponsible parenting,” warning against such reckless behavior. The text on the video read: “Never keep your kids out of sunroof. It’s a life hazard. Parents are responsible for keeping their children safe and not endangering them for cheap thrills.”

Stating that post-Covid Ayurveda has gained similar global acceptance and recognition, Sitharaman said exporting quality Ayurvedic products could help farmers who grow the herbs and the youth who process them.
To meet the global demand, she proposed setting up of three new All India Institutes of Ayurveda, upgrading AYUSH pharmacies and drug-testing labs for higher standards of certification ecosystem, making available more skilled personnel, and upgrading the WHO Global Traditional Medicine Centre in Jamnagar to bolster evidence-based research, training and awareness on traditional medicine.
Among the Centrally sponsored schemes, the allocation for the National AYUSH Mission has been increased from Rs 780.96 crore in FY 2025-26 to Rs 1,300 crore in FY 2026-27, registering 66.5 per cent hike.
The allocation for the All India Institute of Ayurveda has been reduced by 12 per cent.
